Lu Yan's face flushed, and she quickly waved her hands: "I don't count, I don't count."

Competing with two masters for an apprentice?

What a joke! She was a little worried for Tang Xiaobao.

Being able to become the apprentice of these two masters is a dream that she and many of her colleagues have always dreamed of, but why did she refuse when it came to Tang Xiaobao?

"Well, I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you really think highly of me, I will be your two apprentices. You are both my predecessors and my teachers. Is that okay?" Tang Xiaobao asked carefully.

Han Shaofen and Huang Zhixin looked at each other.

Is this still possible?

"One more thing. I don't have time to learn opera at the moment. Let's first establish the master-disciple relationship. When I'm free, I'll pay you a visit. If there's an initiation ceremony, we'll do it together then. I really don't have time right now."

Tang Xiaobao reminded again.

Han Shaofen and Huang Zhixin were dumbfounded.

Is there anyone who does this as an apprentice?

Just for the relationship of master and disciple?

If you don't have time to learn opera for the time being, then why do you want to become my apprentice?

Lu Yan on the side was also dumbfounded.

She totally couldn't understand why Tang Xiaobao didn't have a trace of awe.

How can you talk to the teacher like that?

These are the two biggest names in the Huangmei Opera circle. If you do this, they will be pissed to death.

Tsk tsk, what a great opportunity...

In her opinion, the two teachers would definitely be furious.

Bargaining with them really makes you think you are a dish.

She was actually right.

If it were in the past, or if anyone else dared to speak to them like this, Han Shaofen and Huang Zhixin would have walked away in anger.

They have no shortage of apprentices or successors. Every year, many of us use various connections to introduce students to them, but they always decline on the grounds of old age and illness, including some good talents.

But today they met Tang Xiaobao.

It only took Tang Xiaobao two nights to learn Huangmei Opera, and he sang it very well. If his lines were not well spoken, it was only because he was not familiar with the dialect accent, which could be corrected with a little correction.

Such a disciple is a genius among geniuses and a monster among monsters. It is impossible to find him even with a lantern or a torch.

Even though they are old, they still have a love for talent.

They felt that Tang Xiaobao was a great opportunity to promote Huangmei Opera.

First of all, Tang Xiaobao's talent is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Secondly, Tang Xiaobao's influence is so great that he can easily lead the trend.

There are not many stars like him in the whole of China.

There is no other genius like him who has learned so many things and is proficient in everything. He is the only one.

How could the two teachers be willing to give up such an opportunity?

Now that Tang Xiaobao proposed a compromise plan, they agreed after thinking about it.

Han Shaofen said to Huang Zhixin, "Teacher Chen, do you think this is feasible?"

Huang Zhixin said, "This—it seems there's no better way. Well, then?"

"Okay, Xiao Tang, then it's a deal. Starting today, you are our student." Han Shaofen said to Tang Xiaobao kindly.

Tang Xiaobao nodded obediently.

Huang Zhixin added, "However, if you have time, you should still come and learn. We will share some of our experience with you and correct some minor pronunciation errors."

"I think, why don't we just stay here for the next two days and train Xiao Tang. What do you think, Mr. Huang?"

Han Shaofen said again.

Huang Zhixin said: "Okay, I have no objection."

sweat……

Tang Xiaobao has an opinion.

From the sound of it, I have to stay here for the next two days. That's so boring.

However, when he thought about how the two seniors were still working so hard at such an old age, he felt ashamed and immediately agreed.

Everyone was happy about this.

Lang Kun smiled and said, "Teachers, how about this disciple I found for you?"

Han Shaofen smiled and said, "Coach Lang has good vision."

"It's not that I have good taste, it's that Xiao Tang is too amazing. I feel like there is nothing he can't do. Maybe if I ask him to sing Peking Opera, he can learn it so quickly." Lang Kun blinked.

Tang Xiaobao quickly said, "I really don't know how to do that, and I'm not interested. Stop praising me. It's time for dinner, isn't it? I'll treat you two teachers to a simple meal. How about asking Coach Lang and Sister Lu to be our guests?"

"Is it appropriate for me to go?"

Lu Yan felt a little embarrassed.

In front of the two seniors, she was not as relaxed as usual and seemed particularly restrained.

Han Shaofen smiled and said, "Why not? You and Xiao Tang are partners. I have something to discuss with you later."

Something to discuss?

Lu Yan felt a little excited.

"Oh well."

She said hesitantly.

At that moment, several people left CCTV together and found a restaurant nearby. They booked a private room and ordered some dishes. Tang Xiaobao was about to get some wine but was stopped by Huang Zhixin.

His reason was quite valid. Drinking is bad for your throat...

Since he became someone else's student, Tang Xiaobao could only obey orders.

The last person took a can of drink, and Tang Xiaobao used it as a substitute for wine to toast the two teachers, which was considered as his formal apprenticeship.

As for the initiation ceremony between the two, that is a matter for the future. In this regard, Tang Xiaobao has never been stingy and is very able to know himself well.

Seniors are seniors and they should be respected.

Tang Xiaobao respects from the bottom of his heart those predecessors like Han Shaofen and Huang Zhixin who have devoted themselves to the Huangmei Opera career, fought for art all their lives, and did not forget to make use of their remaining energy even in their old age.

Everyone was very happy while eating and chatting.

Huang Zhixin said to Tang Xiaobao, "Xiao Tang, now that we're master and disciple, I won't hide anything anymore. I'm the type who likes to talk openly about things; that way I feel at ease."

"Teacher Huang, please speak if you have anything to say. Xiao Tang is listening here." Tang Xiaobao smiled.

Huang Zhixin nodded and said, "Teacher Han and I have been singing Huangmei Opera for our entire lives. Our greatest wish is to promote Huangmei Opera to the world and make this art form accepted and loved by more people. In fact, although Huangmei Opera is one of the five major Chinese operas, it has only a history of a few hundred years. Because of this, it is very difficult to promote it. Now this industry is slowly being forgotten by the world, so the country has established Huangmei Opera, set up Huangmei Opera schools, and set up opera troupes, but this is far from enough. The reason why we want to take you in as our apprentice is, on the one hand, because you are so talented. You will become a great man in the future, and your achievements may be much higher than ours. On the other hand, we also value your influence. You are now a national idol, who can influence the ideas of many people and lead the trend of the times. We sincerely hope that you can make more efforts to promote Huangmei Opera, and we will be satisfied."
