Chapter 111 Deyun Society
Two days later.

A fine day.

Cui Yunhua stepped into the carriage with a complicated expression, and entered the carriage with mixed feelings in his heart.

There is relaxation, relief, emotion, and deep down in my heart, there is still a trace of reluctance.

Especially after getting a set of 54 books such as "Story Club", "Zihua Anthology", "Comics" and three of them as a gift from that person, with his own signature attached, the surprise at that moment almost made me feel ashamed. She forgot the reservedness of a rich and noble girl, and she almost shouted with joy.

In the past two days, this Mr. Zihua's image of "free and unrestrained", "heroic and handsome", and "humorous" has also turned her aesthetic concept upside down. For a day or two, although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, he had interacted with that person more times, and anyone would like the feeling of being by his side.

A figure was lightly imprinted in her heart, and with the coachman's shout of "drive", after the carriage started slowly, the seal seemed to be pressed heavily, and the imprint suddenly became extremely clear.

"Mr. Zihua, can I still see you?"

Caressing a copy of "Zihua Anthology" with her jade finger, she murmured to herself.

……

Sending the set of books to the Qinghe Cui family's noble daughter from Zhongzhou was not because Zhou Ming wanted to pick up girls and pursue her, nor was it because he wanted to pretend to be aggressive in front of the girl on a whim... He did it naturally with deep meaning.

Zhongzhou, where this girl is located, is a place full of literati, wealthy families, and royalty. How many prestige points are there waiting for him?
However, the current Zhou Ming is not yet 18 years old. He became famous too early and too monstrous, and people still can't accept it.

How to create momentum?

He just tried his best to let more people know about his works, especially those in the upper class, and then spread his works through the circle of friends of these celebrities like meager forwarding.

In Qingzhou, he already has the title of "Haiping Wenxian", but in other prefectures and counties of Dazhou, not many people know him, and in many places, he may not even have heard of his name. It’s not the modern age with developed networks and convenient transportation. In this ancient times where perhaps more than 80% of the common people have never walked out of a hundred miles, the famous ones may all be ancient figures hundreds or even thousands of years ago...

Want to be famous in the current era?Unless you are the emperor who has just sat on the Dragon Throne and changed his name, the common people will know that when the emperor is changed, the calendar should also be changed.

Therefore, no matter visiting relatives and friends or attending a party, Zhou Ming would carry a few sets of books with him and give them to those worthy guests, especially those who came from far away from other states and counties. Set, expand the influence.

However, this kind of influence is still limited to the upper class, and the small circle of romance, after all, the influence is limited.

Zhou Ming's most important thing is the "Deyun Society" plan that follows the mass line.

……

In the [-]rd year of Tiansheng, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In Haiping County, near a fishing village near the sea, on a flat highland, a majestic and tall building rose from the ground.

This brick and wood building is shaped like a gossip. The archway is tall and covers an area of ​​five acres. In the center is a square covering an area of ​​two acres. The layout includes hundreds of rooms including teahouses, restaurants, snack shops, small theaters, backstage dressing rooms, and training rooms. The total construction area exceeds 5000 square meters.

In order to build this building, Zhou Ming mobilized thousands of workers, sent sea ships, and imported a large amount of century-old golden nanmu from Gaoji State. It took a year of construction and worked overtime to finally build this theater that can accommodate up to 3000 people ( In extreme cases, it can reach 5000 people), and it was built.

Even, in order to make this theater have good lighting and internal echo characteristics, Zhou Ming led people to burn transparent glass and cover it on the roof of the theater; The ground was paved with marble with good echo performance, and 18 echo walls were built around the square; the roof of the ring-shaped wooden building was installed with amplifying devices... racking my brains, I came up with various means, and finally in this place where there is no sound and sound. In the ancient times of the loudspeaker, standing in the center of the stage and speaking loudly, thousands of people in the audience can hear clearly.

Deyun Society!
Zhou Ming heaved a sigh of relief after the gilded plaque with flying and flying phoenix dance was hung up. Whether the plan of the Deyun Society, which takes the mass line, will be successful depends on how the audience buys tickets after the theater opens for operation.

The hardware is ready, but the software support is needed!

Therefore, a few months before the theater was built, Zhou Ming sent a large number of "star scouts" to various counties and counties in Qingzhou, offered high salaries, and recruited folk artists wantonly.

Not to mention, in this era of prosperity, when there are more middle classes with leisure and money, all kinds of folk cultural performing arts, like a hundred flowers blooming, have become very prosperous.

For example, in teahouses and restaurants, there are storytelling and singing masters in all counties and counties. The level is high or low, which is not very unusual. Fifteen storytelling masters were recruited, the average age was about 50 years old, and their language skills were very good. Zhou Ming trained them for a few days and taught them a few unique skills. After the time of retreat, it seems to be a different person after coming out. The storytelling that I uttered gives people a feeling that I can’t stop listening to it, and I can’t listen enough.

These storytelling masters were compiled into the "storytelling group" by Zhou Ming.

In addition to Mr. Pingshu, there are also a group of young and beautiful musicians, singers, dancers, etc. who claim to be entertainers but not themselves, and rely on flute and piano, reciting poems and lyrics, singing and dancing to survive. Zhou Ming also hired hundreds of people (these people, most of them He redeemed himself from the land of Goulan), and all of them were incorporated into the "Song and Dance Troupe".

There are also some acrobats who perform street juggling magic, sword and gun routines, chest breaking boulders and other items. Zhou Ming also recruited more than 30 people and incorporated them into the "Acrobatic Troupe".

There are also some "animal experts" who play monkeys, snakes, chickens, dogs, and various small animals. Zhou Ming recruited more than a dozen people and incorporated them into the "circus group".

In addition, Zhou Ming also saw the originator of some traditional dramas, which also emerged in this era, such as shadow play, puppet show, hand shadow play, etc. Although there are very few folk artists who can perform these plays, Zhou Ming still felt like he had found a treasure, and offered a very high salary, recruited all these drama artists, and incorporated them into the "drama troupe".

There are also some old artists who play strange musical instruments, "imitation masters" who can perform ventriloquist skills, and some real people who can not break their throats with silver guns, keep chopping their heads with machetes, are not afraid of stepping on hot coals, and are not familiar with frying in a frying pan with their hands. Strange folks and heroes on the road, these people can only be described by the phrase "Let me break through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I am not afraid of steel and iron bones".

Zhou Ming would not refuse any of these heroes, so he recruited them all and incorporated them into the "supernatural power group".

Let me tell you here that a strong man named Li Dazui was recruited in the "Ability Group". This man is over two meters tall and weighs over three hundred catties. He has dark skin and a body like a black tower. He easily lifted a thousand-jin heavy stone, and his appetite was astonishing. He could eat fifty catties of wheat and rice in one meal, and he said he was only half full... So, this young man, who was kicked out of the house by his family, heard that he was going to Zhou Ming couldn't afford to eat a full meal without hesitation for a moment. Li Dazui became Zhou Ming's personal bodyguard.
