The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

There is a sentence that can describe the status of the old monk in the Bianjing market: he is not in the Jianghu, but there are legends about him in the Jianghu.

There was an uproar in the audience, screams, whistles, applause, booing, endless!

"Zhan Master Liao Ran! It's actually Zen Master Liao Ran!"

"Oh my god, today is really worth it, I understand!"

"What is he going to say? What is he going to say?!"

Many people were shouting loudly, but they didn't know what they were shouting, they just vented their excitement.

They clapped vigorously, their faces flushed.

Not only the ordinary people in the market, but also those high-ranking officials and nobles, all fell into excitement.

The people on the stage are not entertainers, but he can use a simple sentence to set off the biggest climax so far today, which has a greater response than any previous program.

Just because he is clear.

No one thought that Yunyan would invite Qingran back!

The audience couldn't think of it, and the actors backstage couldn't think of it either.

Especially after they all finished their performances, everyone realized the importance of this show, so as a bottom-up show, it must be the top priority. If it is not heavy and powerful, and there is no perfect ending, then the whole show will be ruined. Hence the regret.

All the actors are discussing who will save the bottom line.

——Naturally, what they want to ask most in their hearts is actually why can't it be me?Why can't it be me?

Zhou Shuiniang thought this way, the dancers who left Yutuhun's team thought this way, and even Zhang Shanren inevitably had such thoughts in their hearts.

Everyone is ambitious, the order of appearance is a symbol of status.

Then when they saw it and came out, they immediately fell silent, only the word "convinced" remained!

Capitalized convinced.

This is a person they didn't even think about, because they didn't dare to think about it!

Who are they?The abbot of the royal monastery, a famous Zen master in the monk circle!

Only when such a character comes out can the whole audience be calmed down. All the actors are convinced and have no opinion at all.Looking up, the signboards are all written by the official royal pen. An abbot of a royal temple said it is very good.

From another perspective, it makes sense.

First of all, in today's world, monks have too many side jobs, even investing in brothels and selling pork. What's more, monks are the official staff of Daxiangguo Temple.He is talking about it, not doing business, this is a kind of promoting Buddhism!

It is clear that a guest appearance as a secular monk will expand the influence of the Daxiangguo Temple, and the business of the secular monk can be expected to set off another climax from today.

As a character who has appeared in the jokes of common monks all the year round, Liao has become a meme in the streets and alleys-hasn’t Yun Yanhui once just said his name, which caused a lot of laughter?

Similarly, now, Qingming only needs to say a word on stage, and the scene will be turned upside down.

He didn't come to the stage alone. Behind his words, there are nearly ten years of foreshadowing by lay monks and talking artists. This is the accumulation of countless jokes.

Over the years, everyone has been hearing various stories about Qingran, and even went to the temple to see it, but the effect is completely different from the effect of Liaoran standing on the stage and asking for a common speech.

It took a long time for the scene to calm down, and everyone stared at Xiaoran with unconcealed excitement and concentrated attention.

Liao Ran: "You all know this old man?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Know!"

Liao Ran: "Well, but just outside, someone stopped me and asked me if I want to buy a certificate."

"Hahahahaha!"

"Ask the abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple if he wants a degree? Hahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter, really?"

This is to stop people from asking in private, it must be selling fake holiday certificates.This effect is almost the same as asking the chief of public security if he wants to get a fake police officer certificate.

Liaoran: "I thought to myself, it is usually the old monk who gives the certificate to people, but this time it is something new, and someone asked the old monk if he wanted it. The old monk told him that the old monk has a formal certificate and does not need to buy it. This person said something sharp Turn around and ask the old monk: Do you want to buy a wig for your rest day?"

"Pfft ha ha ha, buy a wig!"

"It's usually he who sends...haha, isn't it?"

Some people also thought that Qingming was satirizing some current phenomena.Not only are there many Jianghu people pretending to be monks to do bad things, or to take refuge, but there are also many monks who let themselves go and do not abide by the precepts and clear rules.Look, there are actually some who sell wigs to monks?

Liao Ran: "I'm so upright, do I need it?"

As he spoke, he also looked at several lay monks from Daxiangguo Temple standing under the stands.

"need!!"

"Yes, yes!"

The audience booed, there is no way, in the jokes, the image of clear is really various, often very cunning, or wise.

Liao Ran smiled slightly, "That's why I said, I don't know how the quality of yours is. Has anyone bought it from our Daxiangguo Temple?"

"puff!"

"Is the great monk waiting here?"

"Haha, who bought it? You must be punished for copying scriptures!"

……

If modern people see it, I am afraid that this form of performance will look familiar.

It is not so much a vulgar talk as it is a talk show.

Compared with the common saying, there are more interactions with the live audience, the rhythm is faster, the jokes are very dense, and the content is more easy to understand, close to life, that is, more commercial.

This is a script that Yun Yan Hui made for Liao Ran, and it's a series of small jokes, and because of the image of Liao Ran, he doesn't need to use long and long lines like many actors who are on stage for the first time. Foreshadowing, let everyone substitute into the background of the story.

——Just like when the lay monk first appeared, he chose to take advantage of his fame, now he is playing himself.

Everyone knows that he is the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, and he doesn't need to lay the groundwork. If someone asks me if I want to buy a certificate, the effect will be amazing.Of course, the deepest substitutes are the natives of Bianjing, or those who stay in Bianjing all the year round.Others may have to combine his previous self-introduction to understand it, but these natives understood it in an instant.

It was quite easy to write the script for Liao Ran, because he brought a lot of stalks with him. It took only half a day for Yunyan to type out the entire draft, and it took another two days to polish it, and then handed it over to Liao Ran for rehearsal. .

If he spent more time, it was on persuading him.Fortunately, I am not a pedantic person. The common saying is to expand the influence of Buddhism. If he plays the game, the effect will be better, so why not do it?

In fact, from then on, it was impossible for Liao to perform frequently, but every year during the Lantern Festival, he would give a short talk.

Moreover, this has also become a practice, and every abbot of Daxiangguo Temple will do this later, because they find that this is actually very helpful to their reputation with Daxiangguo Temple.

Any of your thoughts can be spread to the public in this way.

The power of being an abbot is much stronger than that of ordinary lay monks. When the whole world celebrates, speaking once is a decent and effective publicity.

This situation was later joked by Yun Yanhui: In order to save the declining Buddhism, the abbots stood up and became idols.

Now, in Yusunhong, from Zheng Ping to the princess, to the noble ladies next to her, they were all laughing upside down, tearing up their eyes. Ever since Qing Ran came on stage, the laughter and applause never stopped.

When it was over, they put together their palms together and stepped off the stage. They had a feeling that they were too weak to laugh, and each arranged their makeup and clothes.

"God, I have heard Abbot Ran lecture on Zen, but I didn't realize that he still has such an ability to make people laugh."

"That's right. I've heard folk tales before, but I've never understood the abbot. It's funny, but now that I think about it, it's also thought-provoking."

"I just feel like I'm dying from laughing..."

"Amazing! Never before!"

The effect is astonishing, not to mention these noble ladies, even those idlers who spend all day in the Goulan washhouse, can't breathe from laughing, they have never experienced the "torture" of such intensive laughter ".

This is the rhythm from the 21st century, and this wave really makes them completely overwhelmed.

Zhang Shanren and his disciples listened below, their eyes were shining brightly, laymen watched the fun, and experts watched the way, they could see that it was the same as the common saying, but it was actually completely different!

Even after it became clear, everyone was still unsatisfied and refused to leave for a long time, discussing all kinds of things that they just understood.

……

Yun Yan went back to meet Qing Ran under the stage, handed him tea, and helped the old monk to rest in the temporary backstage set up in the shop.

As soon as Liao Ran came in, all the artists surrounded him.

Zhang Shanren was especially excited and held Qingran's hand.

Liao Ran quickly pointed to Yun Yan and said, "Look for him."

Yunyan came back and couldn't dodge, so she was grabbed, "I knew it was you!" Zhang Shanren pulled Yunyan back, "I knew it, you kept it!"

If Yun Yanhui had taken this trick out early and applied it to lay monks, they would probably starve to death as talkative artists, and Zhang Shanren would have lingering fears.

Now I only ask Qingran to do these jobs, but it won't affect the market. After all, no matter how influential he is, there is only one person.

Yunyan knew Zhang Shanren's intentions in her heart, and the two of them naturally understood, everything was kept silent.

Knowing that she was a little unexpected, Yun Yan told him back that if he went up to talk about it, the effect would be very good, but he never thought it would be so good!

Zhang Shanren couldn't help but said to Liao Ran: "Abbot, it seems that you will be very busy in the next period of time..."

Busy rejecting all kinds of performance invitations!

For today's scene, there are definitely many people who want to invite Qingming to perform.

However, Liao Ran is really not a professional, and he is an abbot, running business every day to act like nothing.The president of the United States occasionally appears on variety shows, but he has never seen the world.

Knowing that he clicked Yunyan back, he didn't know what to say, it seemed that he really underestimated himself and Brother Yan.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

This effect was really good. After this day, Man Bianjing discussed the program of this day for at least half a month, and one-third of it was focused on Qingran.

Everyone is hot!

Daxiangguo Temple's folk lectures are at their peak again, and the attendance rate is full!

Even with the incense and donations, the income has also increased!

Other temples and Taoist temples in Bianjing are so envious that their eyes are red with envy. Daxiangguo Temple has developed really well in recent years, and now they can't help but sigh: Xianglan still knows how to play!
