[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

"but……"

The troupe owner changed the subject: "If they themselves are willing to take the stage for Mrs. Lin's play, the untouchables will not stop them."

Jia Shu looked at the troupe master and sighed, "Why are you bothering?"

But the troupe owner has already made up his mind and doesn't seem to intend to change.

After thinking about it carefully, Jia Shu nodded in agreement, "If they are interested, they can come here tomorrow to try."

After the two chatted, they turned to the actors selected by Jia Shu.

Jia Shu looked at a few people who knelt on the ground at some point, with a surprised expression: "What are you doing?"

Couldn't it be "jealous" after hearing that a new actor is coming?

Or, afraid?

The leading girl raised her head, her complexion was pale: "Please punish my wife."

Jia Shu was stunned: "You have done nothing wrong, why should I punish you?"

"The maidservant and others messed up the wife's arrangement, and this skit can't be performed for the old lady within the stipulated time." The girl slammed her forehead on the ground hard, making a toothache "dong" sound, "Please also ask the lady to punish you!" !"

Jia Shu hurriedly asked people to wake up: "It's not your fault, it's because I didn't think clearly before, and I acted too hastily and recklessly."

She turned to look at the troupe owner, "Although the troupe owner doesn't know much about dialogue dramas, he should have his own views on the arrangement of this show? Can you teach them?"

The theater troupe leader nodded again and again: "Madam Lin, please rest assured."

-

Matters related to the drama began to proceed in an orderly manner, but self-screening seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck.

If the cost is too high to be lowered, self-screening can only become a pastime for a few people, and there is no way to bring more benefits to the Lin family.

What's more, although many people have heard of self-screening, they don't even know what it is for.

Although the voice actors of Ziyinghua have almost trained, those ventriloquists still need some time to arrange the background sound of each story, such as when the birds should sing, when the wind blows, and when it rains...

Before the arrangement of the ventriloquist was resolved, Jia Shu simply suppressed the dubbing, and did not intend to let others know for the time being.

But once the novelty of self-screening is over, those audiences will not spend money to enter the theater except when new stories are released every month.As for those who bought self-screening machines, although they couldn’t buy picture books in the first place, except for a small number of viewers who were willing to spend money to watch new stories in theaters in advance, everyone else chose to be patient for the time being and wait for the picture books. After my son came out, I bought a copy and read it slowly at home.

Although the price of the painting book is much higher than the ticket price, a ticket can only be viewed by one person, but a painting book can be read by the whole family, and it goes on and on, even hundreds of people can read it.

As a result, this month's profit was one-third less than before.

But just when the person in charge of the Film Academy couldn't bear it anymore and came to Jia Shu for advice, those ventriloquist actors and voice actors cooperated with each other and finally came up with the simplest "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom".

At the gate of the theater, the play "Little Tadpole" appeared on the bulletin board again, which inevitably attracted people who had seen the play to come to watch.

"Shopkeeper, if I remember correctly, this story seems to have been released several months ago, and it has been canceled from the program sequence?" Because the children in the family like this story very much, he will bring it with him almost every once in a while. He took several children in the family to watch it at the cinema, but later the cinema canceled the show and stopped showing it, which made him regret it for a long time.

Of course, he was not short of money. After the Lin family put the self-image machine in the store for sale, he immediately asked someone to buy one, and then put it at home for the children to look at.

He is a playboy, relying on his father and brothers, relying on his wife's family, he has no ability, so no matter what he buys on weekdays, as long as he spends a lot of money, he will inevitably be talked about by his wife at home. After returning home, it was rare for his wife not to scold him, and even unexpectedly praised him for a long time.

Thinking of his wife's active and enthusiastic performance on the night when he bought the machine home, he was deeply impressed by both the film theater and "Little Tadpole".

The shopkeeper's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he explained seriously: "Master Zhao doesn't know something. In the eyes of those of us, this self-image is good everywhere, and there is nothing unsatisfactory. But the wife of the host is not very satisfied with it. I want to make improvements to make the masters and wives more satisfied."

Mr. Zhao stared wide-eyed: "Oh? But there is a more novel way to play?" He glanced at the bulletin board a few times, "Your fare is twice as expensive. If it's not fun enough, Aren't you afraid of being knocked on the door?"

The shopkeeper smiled confidently: "Although the ticket price is twice as expensive as before, if you go in and watch a show, you will understand why the ticket price is so expensive."

Mr. Zhao didn't quite believe it: "I think your self-screening pictures are already very good, better than that babbling and singing opera. Even if there is no sound, I can still understand it. How can you improve?"

This self-image is a novelty that has never been seen before, and its structure is so complex and delicate that it has never been heard before.

He heard that so much time has passed, although those skilled carpenters can imitate it, many details are still flawed.Such a powerful thing, he felt, should not be able to be improved for at least a few years.

"Master Zhao is very experienced at first glance, and his knowledge of entertainment is far beyond ordinary people." The shopkeeper immediately gave him a thumbs up.

Master Zhao gave him a sidelong glance: "You old cunning, you only dare to make fun of me because of my good temper."

The shopkeeper quickly denied it: "Master Zhao was just joking, I am just a small shopkeeper, how dare I make fun of you? This old man would say that because he thinks that Master Zhao is really smart, and he immediately thought of an idea."

Master Zhao was stunned for a moment: "What idea?"

The shopkeeper pointed to the bulletin board: "Master Zhao doesn't know something, this "Little Tadpole" will be released again, it is precisely because the wife of the master's family asked someone to add a voice to this play, and now it sounds much better than before. There was an old man who took his child into the theater to watch it for the second time. After watching it, the young man was unwilling to leave with his chair in his arms. Do."

In fact, there are, but as long as the adults say that they will take them to see them in the future, most of those children will obey and leave.

Not so exaggerated this time.

Master Zhao thought for a while, and then simply said: "Give me a ticket, master, I will go in and have a look. If it is really worth the money, master, I will go home immediately and bring the children."

The shopkeeper smiled until the creases on his face piled up: "Hey, Mr. Zhao will definitely not be disappointed."

……

After all, "Little Tadpole" is released for the second time. Although there are some people who are curious, after seeing it, the audience who enter the theater choose to buy tickets for other shows, and they don't intend to spend any more money——

Who made the story so childish that they didn't want to watch it a second time?

They would be willing to buy tickets for a play like "Actor's Complaint" if it were to be released again, but "Little Tadpole" would be fine.

-

As soon as Mr. Zhao stepped into the room where self-screening pictures were played, he became interested in the huge red cloth that fell from the beam behind the broadcasting machine: "I remember that there was no such piece of cloth in this room before?"

The servant who stayed in the house to wait on him hastily explained: "Back to Mr. Zhao, the sound of "Little Tadpole" is related to this curtain."

When Master Zhao heard the words, he was about to walk towards the curtain, and the boy hurriedly stopped him: "Master Zhao, it's not too late for you to watch the show after it finishes playing."

Mr. Zhao was startled: "This shouldn't be an unspeakable secret of the Film Academy, how can it be seen by people?"

The boy couldn't help complaining from the bottom of his heart, knowing that this matter is related to the secrets of the film theater, why do you keep going there?

But Mr. Zhao is a distinguished guest after all, he dare not say this out loud.

"Master Zhao is well-informed. After the show starts, you should be able to guess the key points. Why should we fight in front of you?"

Although this statement has the meaning of flattery, it is also true.

This Mr. Zhao is in the capital, and his family background is not the best, but he can be regarded as the number one dude in the capital.The key point is that even if he is a dude, no one scolds him. At most, he thinks that he is not doing his job properly.The reason for this is that although Mr. Zhao loves to play, he only loves all kinds of novelty toys and antiques, food and wine. As for other dudes who bully men and women and bully others, he will never do it.

But just because he played a lot, he naturally learned a lot of new things.Whether it's dubbing or ventriloquism, Mr. Zhao probably only needs to listen to the beginning to figure out the key points.

It's not possible to make a fuss, but there is really no need to hide it.

What's more, the master didn't say to hide it.

Mr. Zhao was a little surprised, but he searched through his memory, and he never thought of any machine that could make the person in the painting make a sound.

"Not much to talk about, you show it first."

The guy paused, and when the time came, he made sure that no one else had bought a ticket to watch it. Then he went to the machine and turned on the switch, and began to play "Little Tadpole", a story that is completely unwatchable to Mr. Zhao.

Just at the beginning, the sound of the river splashing rang in the house.

Mr. Zhao was unprepared and almost jumped up from his chair.

But after calming down, he felt that although the voice could be faked, it always gave him a sense of familiarity.

The sound of water flowed continuously in the house, as if it never stopped, at this moment, the sound of insects, and after a while, the sound of frogs and cicadas...

Master Zhao squinted his eyes, and his eyes fell on the bright red curtain. He was sure that the voice came from behind the red curtain.

This familiar feeling made him guess.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boo" sound in the room.

Mr. Zhao came back from his thoughts, just in time to see the scene of a little tadpole getting out of the wet egg completely in front of him.

He was startled. The timing was too good. If he hadn't known what was going on, he would have doubted whether the Lin family had really improved the machine so that it could not only give people pictures, but also make sounds.

Accompanied by the sound of "Bo" and "Bo" one after another, the tadpoles in the wet eggs hatched out of it one after another.

Small tadpoles swim in small ponds in groups, carefree and free.

As soon as the screen changed, the little tadpole met two goldfish head-on.

The next moment, a childish voice sounded with a sweet and milky voice: "Mom, mom..."

As soon as the voice sounded, Mr. Zhao's whole mental state changed.

Different from many men in this era, he is a person who loves children very much, so he puts down his usual fun and takes his children to the cinema to watch their favorite stories again and again.

And this child's voice, unexpectedly, was very similar to his five-year-old child.

He sat in his seat, much more focused than before.

It wasn't until the story was over that Mr. Zhao just dusted off his clothes and stood up from his seat: "The noises just now, did you find a ventriloquist?"

The servant nodded again and again: "Master Zhao is indeed as insightful as a torch."

As he spoke, he found a corner and opened the curtain, and a group of men, women, old and young appeared in front of Mr. Zhao.They were originally sitting on chairs, and there was a long table in front of them, on which there were some things that he couldn't understand.

The curtain opened, and they all stood up from their chairs to salute Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "You made all those voices just now?" He turned his eyes around a group of people, his eyes somewhat disappointed, "Whose voice is that child's voice?"

A half-grown girl raised her hand tremblingly: "Master, you are a slave."

Master Zhao looked over and became more and more disappointed: "It turns out that they are not real children." But after thinking about it, he laughed again, "You have learned it so vividly, you are more immature than my son's voice."

Master Zhao took off the purse from his waist and handed it to the boy, "You are all capable, so use the money to eat and drink."

After speaking, he left the theater with his entourage.

Not long after, under the astonished gazes of others, Mr. Zhao came straight to the cinema with his wife and children in two carriages.

Then, I spent a lot of money and bought a ticket for "Little Tadpole" for each family member.

……

Mr. Zhao's reputation in the capital is still pretty good. Not long after, he spent twice the ticket price to watch "Little Tadpole" again at the cinema, and he seemed to like it again. He went home with a People from everyone came to the movie theater again, and the news of re-watching "Little Tadpole" spread throughout the capital.

Although Mr. Zhao is a dude, he is very popular. Many friends thought he was being stupid when they heard the news——

He even spent a lot of money to buy a machine that played self-movie pictures and went home. Do you want to see any stories?Humanities Anhou's Mansion is not short of that money, and the new story will be printed out and sold in shops soon after it comes out. Why should he give money to the film theater for nothing?

Even if there is a new story in the cinema, he can't wait to see it first, and there is no need to spend money to watch it over and over again.

Not to mention that what drove Master Zhao crazy this time was "Little Tadpole" that had been let go for more than a month.

Of course, there are also many people who know Mr. Zhao's character and know that even though he is rich, he will not mess around, so they will inevitably be more curious about "Little Tadpole".And because of the re-release this time, not only did the ticket price not drop, but doubled, it is inevitable that people are eager to try it.

Those who are not short of money will follow Mr. Zhao to watch "Little Tadpole".

If you are short on money recently, you can sit in the lobby of the movie theater and wait for Mr. Zhao and his family to finish watching, and ask about the specific situation——

Shopkeeper Ren's hype is not as trustworthy as Mr. Zhao's words.

But they also listened to what the shopkeeper said, knowing that the re-released story, the story itself has not changed, the picture has not changed, but it seems that the sound has been added.

But they waited for a long time, but no one came out.

Someone couldn't wait, so he called the shopkeeper over: "Master Zhao's family hasn't come out yet?"

The shopkeeper smiled and explained: "Master Zhao's children don't want to leave. He loves them so much, so he just bought the room with money. They will probably be in there all day today."

Everyone: "..."

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhao is crazy? Such a story has no logic, it's just a story that children like, how many adults in their family can read it all day?"

Although there is no father among this group of people who loves children as much as Mr. Zhao, and loves them to the point of giving them whatever they want, there are quite a few who are willing to endure for the children for a while, and accompany them to watch "Little Tadpole" and other stories that only children like. father.But they put themselves into Mr. Zhao, and as long as they thought that they would watch "Little Tadpole" with their children all day, they felt that life would be worse than death.

The people in the hall who were still waiting for Mr. Zhao to come out to ask about the situation looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and finally many people went to the ticket sales place to buy tickets.

A group of old men walked into one of the rooms where self-screening pictures were displayed, feeling uncomfortable.

They didn't find the way for their children, they just thought that even if they didn't like what Mr. Zhao liked, it would definitely become a popular trend in their circle in the future.

Waiting for other people to come to be the first audience after learning about it, and then use it as bragging capital, it is better for them to seize the opportunity.

The shopkeeper was happy to see this, and when everyone entered the room, he sat behind the counter and smiled like a fox——

It was the most correct decision he made during this period of time for people to spread the news of the re-release of "Little Tadpole" to Mr. Zhao's ears.

-

"In order to satisfy the audience and prevent the audience from feeling that self-screening is worse than opera, the Lin family's film studio specially trained many actors and invited many ventriloquist artists to rehearse the play according to the storyline. A real person speaks the same in front of his eyes."

Not many people went to the cinema to watch "Little Tadpole". After all, the audience of this self-screening film is children. Even if there are adults accompanying the children to watch, the number of people will not be too many.Even because they don't like the story itself, the combination of dubbing, ventriloquist and screen to enhance the appeal of the story itself will not make them feel too much.

So except for families with children, the news did not spread all over the city.

But more than a month later, after the re-release of "Actor's Resentment" with sound, whether it is a script, an opera, or the previous silent "movie", the news spread in the capital.

The story of "Actor's Complaint" is poignant and moving, and the ending is completely different from the usual routine. And because this story was created to attract female audiences from the beginning, the drawn characters are exquisite and gorgeous to the extreme. The clothing and makeup of the characters inside , and even a frown and a smile can make people's hearts beat wildly——

Women are easily attracted to beautiful things, not to mention that the scenes in "Actor's Complaint" are all extremely beautiful.

As soon as the story "Actor's Complaint" was released, it was welcomed by all the daughters and mistresses in the capital. No matter young or old, they were all obsessed with the characters in it. Among the three animations released in the first issue, "The Actor" The sales volume of the picture book of "Complaint" is far behind the other two stories, all because of the female audience of "Actor's Complaint".

Of course, there are also some concubines who are curious but can’t go out because they don’t have the permission of the head mother. They blow the pillow wind in the ears of their husbands. In the end, they are either taken to the cinema by their husbands, or they are bought at a high price. A machine goes home—

It can be said that among the three animations released in the first batch, "Actor's Complaint" brought the most income to the Lin family.

The second is "Little Tadpole", and the last is the story about cultivating immortals created for men.

"Little Tadpole" is okay, but after the animation of cultivating immortals has launched a few new animations, the income brought to the Lin family is not as good as that of "Beauty's Sorrow" and "A Thousand Gold" in the second and third batches of animations. Dream".

Jia Shu didn't think there was anything strange about it. After all, it is common knowledge among modern people that "women and children make the best money".

Now that the dubbing of "Actor's Complaint" is going to be released again, in order to please the female audience, the selection of actors' voices has to be careful, so as not to damage the reputation and be picked on by loyal fans of "Actor's Complaint".

But on this point, Lin Mu is more experienced than Jia Shu. The actors she selected for "Actor's Complaint" are all actors with the best voice and the best sense of drama.

As for the ventriloquists, the best ones were also selected.

It can be said that the cast of "Actor's Complaint" is definitely the top among the current batch of actors.

Jia Shu thought, if this is the case, and there are still people who are dissatisfied with "Actor's Complaint", then she has nothing to do.

Fortunately, people's appreciation of beauty is common. After the name of "Actor's Complaint" appeared on the bulletin board of the Film Academy again, within two days, the name of this animation that had caused a great sensation in the capital before, It spread again in the capital.

-

In recent years, although Lin Ruhai's official position has been getting higher and higher, the Lin family will gradually occupy a certain voice in the capital, but it is completely contrary to my memory. With the marriage of the third sister Jia Shu, rumors gradually spread. Fame, not only is it more powerful than when the Lin family was at its peak in the previous life, more people buy it, and it also has a sense of presence in the capital.

On the contrary, after she was reborn, she felt that the husband who would have great promise in the future, even though her father stayed in the capital and helped him many times, is now just a sixth-rank military officer.

All this shows that Jia Shu, the third sister who has been hiding behind her back, is the one who is really capable.

It's just because of what Mother Jia did and what she did recklessly when she was just reborn, if it wasn't necessary, she didn't want to appear in front of Third Sister and annoy her.

However, whether it was the Makeup Pavilion, the Lin Family Bookstore, or the business of the Film and Television Theater, she would go to support her.

Even though at the beginning she went to support Jia Shu's business to make up for her guilt, but after using the rouge and gouache in the Makeup Pavilion, reading the books of the Lin Family Bookshop, and seeing the self-image, she became Jia Shu's loyal friend. Fans, as long as it is related to her, she is willing to spend money.

Before "Little Tadpole" was released, she took her three children to the theater to watch several shows. Now that the actors of "Actor's Complaint" have also been well trained, how can she not join in the show?

It was only at the beginning, the screen was blank, and then there were many changing facial makeups of characters, and then the facial makeups disappeared, and a face with exquisite and beautiful opera makeup appeared in front of my eyes. The pair of raised red phoenix eyes on the face were sad and desperate. Gradually red eyes, gradually filled with tears, gradually...

A drop of tear meanders down the beautiful face...

slide……

Gradually, that shockingly beautiful face disappeared into the picture, and in the center of the picture, there was only one drop of teardrop falling down.

tick-

Tears drip down a heroine's upturned face, and she pauses, turning her head slowly until the entire face appears in the frame.

In an instant, it turned into dense ink and dispersed.

Immediately afterwards, a melodious and clear opera singing cut through the silence and sounded in the room...

The sound moved from far to near, and a house with carved beams and painted buildings appeared.

……

When Jia Min left the room, her eyes were red, obviously she had cried a lot.

It wasn't until they got into the carriage that Hu Yu who accompanied her said distressedly: "Madam, this is just a false story, fabricated by others, why are you crying so sadly?"
