Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 179

After getting acquainted with the script, Shen Yuelou assigned roles to the actors.

Zhao Wu, the orphan of the Zhao family, is naturally played by Shen Yuelou, Lin Yanqiu as Cheng Ying, Xu Zhaolin as Wei Jiang, Li Yuefang as Zhao Dun, Zhu Yueming as Gongsun Chujiu, Geng Changgeng as Jin Linggong, and Chen Qingkui as Tu Anjia.

Shen Yuelou originally intended for Li Suyu to play Zhuang Ji and Zhou Yuexiang to play Cheng's wife, but Li Suyu and everyone felt that it was more appropriate for Shen Yuelou to play Zhuang Ji herself.

The reason is that although Zhao Wu is the nominal hero of "The Orphan of Zhao", he doesn't have many roles in the play. With the addition of Zhuang Ji, his roles should be comparable to that of the real hero, Boss Lin's Cheng Ying.

Therefore, Li Suyu changed her role as Cheng's wife, and Zhou Yuexiang changed her role as Zhuang Ji's maid Bu Feng.

Because all the actors invited to play the main roles in this play are well-known contemporary actors with profound skills, the rehearsals progressed very quickly. In just three to five days, the entire "Orphan of Zhao" was gradually polished to a very mellow shape.

……

Unknowingly, two days passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of singing opposite Li Shaobai.

On the fifth day of September, at Huaxia National Center for the Performing Arts, a confrontation between Shen Yuelou, a famous actress in Liyuan, and Li Shaobai, a famous student from the Spring and Autumn Drama Club, will also be staged today.

During the period of the Republic of China, famous actors and actresses put on their counters in two theaters to sell tickets, and the number of seats won.

In the new century, most of the performances are performed in the same theater, with morning, afternoon and evening performances staggered, and the winners and losers are determined by the two-day ticket seats.

However, in this competition, under Li Shaobai's request, in addition to the results of the ticket seats, the preferences of those celebrities in the Opera Federation and Liyuan Association also accounted for a considerable proportion.

The approximate calculation method is that the ticket sales accounted for [-]%, and the opinions of hundreds of Liyuan celebrities accounted for [-]%.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the National Center for the Performing Arts was full of seats, and the Chinese opera channel of China Central Station and many local satellite TV channels also sent people to broadcast the event live. The scale of the broadcast was second only to the Spring Festival Gala.

Before the good show started, Shen Yuelou and Li Shaobai met at the backstage of Huaxia National Center for the Performing Arts.

It's different from arguing on social accounts.

When we meet in reality, everyone is very restrained.

After breaking away from the crowd of actors from the Spring and Autumn Drama Club, Li Shaobai greeted Shen Yuelou first.

When shaking hands, Li Shaobai said in a low voice: "Boss Shen is really sorry, but Shaobai has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, so he shouldn't have challenged you."

His expression was a little unnatural, after all, the whole thing started because of him, and it gradually went in a direction beyond his control.

The Organizing Committee of the Qingjing Tournament openly supported Shen Yuelou's team, and when I wanted to use the class leader to do the work of those famous people from the Huaxia Opera Federation and the Liyuan Association, I found that what they revealed overtly and secretly seemed to have the same meaning as Shen Yuelou. Shen Yuelou's connection deepened.

Boss Shen's general situation has come, you admit it.

This is the advice given to myself by the class master after communicating with the celebrities.

Alas, I thought Shen Yuelou was just a country actress, a soft persimmon with no teacher or background.

I didn't expect his relationship in Liyuan to be so hard. The Liyuan Association supported him, and the Opera Federation also stood by him. This time I really hit a hard board.

Naturally, Li Shaobai didn't know that Shen Yuelou had already joined the Liyuan Association under Qi Shaotong's introduction, and most of the famous figures in the Opera Federation were disciples of the nine elders of the Liyuan Association interviewed by Shen Yuelou back then.

This is not counting the prestige and power of the "Lanpai" in the troupe.

If Li Shaobai knew that Shen Yuelou had already made a master-student agreement with Lord Lan Jiu, he might not have dared to write that slanderous document, let alone challenge Shen Yuelou to a stage play.

Even if he didn't know, he'd regret it now.

Hearing Li Shaobai's whisper, Shen Yuelou was a little confused for a while.

Forehead?What is he doing...

After a pause, Shen Yuelou didn't say anything, and nodded slightly to Li Shaobai as a return of greeting.

Li Shaobai looked 37 or [-] years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a very heroic appearance. When facing himself, there was a hint of humility in his expression, which was not like his arrogant attitude on social media.

Is he humble by nature, or is he deliberately showing weakness to me?

Seeing Li Shaobai's leaving back, Shen Yuelou couldn't help frowning slightly.

……

Naturally, Li Shaobai didn't know that his sincere overtures had directly stunned Boss Shen.

The conscience of heaven and earth, I just decided to soften my posture after knowing that Boss Shen has a deep background, and slowly eased the relationship.

I don't dare to have any bad intentions at all.

I just beg Boss Shen not to kill them all, so that when I leave Yanjing and go to Shenjiang Liyuan to earn a living, I can still have something to eat.

……

As soon as the gong sounded, the show began. From behind the curtain, there was a "scare!" and the scholar Yang Nianru, played by Li Shaobai, slowly appeared on the stage.

Greasy hair and pink noodles, dressed in a blue Confucian shirt, looks a bit suave.

"It's really sad, really sad to hate Li thief like a wolf jackal, like a wolf jackal, to frame the Donglin party.

If you want to take the Ministry of officials of Zhou, Zhongliang will be murdered, and you will be outraged by the public, and there is nothing you can do.

It makes people cry, tears fill their cheeks. "

After singing this passage, Li Shaobai confessed: "Student Yang Nianru, originally a Confucian student in Gusu Prefecture, today a lot of school lieutenants came from Beijing Middle School, wanting to take Master Zhou Shunchang.

I think Mr. Zhou is an upright official. If they take him to the capital, wouldn't it violate the laws of heaven? "

Li Shaobai sang very hard in this scene.

He would definitely lose. Now, Li Shaobai just wanted to look better in his seat, so that he would not lose too much face in Yanjing Liyuan.

……

"Five Righteous Men" tells the story of a [-]-year-old Li Jinzhong who abused power and harmed the country during the Tianqi period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and killed Zhongliang.

Gusu Zhou Shunchang, who had served in the Ministry of Officials, had no choice but to resign from his old age and return to his hometown after repeated impeachments to no avail.

Li Jinzhong hated Zhou Shunchang deeply, but because Zhou Shunchang was upright and honest, he had a high reputation in the scholarly community, so he had to secretly arrest him.

When the school captain came to the door, the people of Suzhou were in an uproar.

There were five people, Yan Peiwei, Ma Jie, Shen Yang, Zhou Wenyuan, and Yang Nianru. Out of righteous indignation, they rang the gong and gathered thousands of people at once.

They led people to beat up the captain and protected Zhou Shunchang.

Li Jinzhong was furious when he learned of this, and captured and killed five people with his troops. Zhou Shunchang was still imprisoned and died unjustly.

Later, when Li Jinzhong lost his power, Wuzhong's scholar-officials came forward and demanded that the [-]-year-old shrine be abolished as the burial tomb of five people, Yang Nianru.
Their monuments stand still, and the incense burns so far. Anyone who passes through the tombs of the five people admires them in awe.

"Five Righteous Men" is indeed a epic drama of loyalty and justice. After the performance of all the famous actors of the Spring and Autumn Drama Club, Shen Yuelou applauded them sincerely.

The fans off the stage were excited, sighed, admired, and so on, all of them were very satisfied with the play.

"It's so righteous. Boss Li and Boss Niu performed really well."

"It's a pity that the ending is a bit sad. The five righteous men and Lord Zhou all died, and they died tragically."

"Although people die, their names and their spirit and integrity will always be passed down."
