Dress to be a celebrity

Sure enough, the treatment of acquaintances of the theater troupe owner is different from that of ordinary onlookers.

Li Shaosheng led them to the innermost circle, and took two beard beds from the tent to ask them if they wanted to sit.Song Shi hurriedly waved his hands and said in a low voice, "Just treat us as ordinary guests, don't be too conspicuous..."

If the owner of the Lengtao stall in the back knew his name, he would definitely have to give the bamboo tube rice products a new name with his name on it with great fanfare, and maybe he would have to write a soft marketing campaign.

They originally intended to stand in the audience as ordinary guests, and they were already very satisfied to be able to stand in the circle and watch the show.

The closer you get, the more you can see that the danjiao singing on stage is the stage makeup he made for Aunt Zhu.However, the libretto has been edited, it is more detailed and gentle than Meng Sanlang's, and some words of entering the tone in Zhugong tunes have been changed to fit the tune of this northern opera.

Whether it's the chanting or the pronunciation of the words while singing, the singing is indeed a standard Beijing accent, and the audience in the audience recognizes it.

I don't know where they found such a good theater troupe, they have only been in Beijing for a few months.Song Shi really wanted to admire the efficiency of these two. He first applauded their actors and screenwriters, and watched the adaptation of the drama with more expectations.

After Yang Xi'er sang the first piece, Yang Bailao and others took turns to take the stage.

Xi'er dressed 600 years ahead of the times, but Yang Bailao was dressed like an ordinary old man from Fujian, with white eyebrows and white hair, and conspicuous patches on his clothes.The one who sang Wang Shiren had a painted face, extremely thick eyebrows, white eye frames, mustaches around his lips and chin, and wore a bright red Su-like gown, giving him an aristocratic air.The butler, Mu Renzhi, was sung by the vice-president who just sang the erotic section. He only changed into a blue cocoon silk mountain, and his face was painted with white makeup, which made him look even more ridiculous.

The rest of the Yang family's neighbors, Aunt Wang, Wang Shiren's mother, and Aunt Zhang who helped Xi'er escape from the Wang family were all dressed in the usual clothes of the day, without heavy makeup.

Xi'er's childhood sweetheart, Dachun brother, is wearing plain makeup, his eyebrows are flying, and his face is covered with white powder. Although he is dressed as shabby as Yang Bailao, he looks very handsome and handsome.

Seeing such a good image of Brother Dachun, Song Shi couldn't help imagining Song Sheren in the play—what kind of makeup did he wear?Will you give him a facelift or a beard to show his majesty?

He can also be regarded as the soul hero of this drama, and his role is more important than Brother Dachun, how should he be counted?There is also Da Huan who makes soy sauce... Huan Tongpan, there are only one or two lines when singing Zhugong Tune, so after adapting a zaju, you have to add a few lines of narration, right?

Thinking about it, I was a little excited!

When it was Wuping Dashui, when Song Sheren was about to appear on stage, he secretly pulled Huan Ling through his sleeve, gave him a wink, and raised his eyebrows in embarrassment.Huan Ling almost made him laugh, and hurriedly lowered his head and raised his sleeves to cover his face, his shoulders trembled slightly, his image finally blended into the mournful and angry crowd, and he was not pulled out to criticize him.

At the beginning of the fourth act, there is a symphony of silk and strings, and a principal and two assistants board the railcar in a dry boat that looks like "Bao Lao" singing in the New Year.The two assistants are dressed as clowns, but the main one is wearing plain makeup. He is more handsome than Brother Dachun. He is wearing a black gauze red robe with a rhinoceros belt around his waist. He is clearly dressed as the number one scholar!

The soul of the whole drama is here!

Song Shi applauded himself passionately, Huan Ling beside him applauded passionately, and the people listening to the opera were equally excited, and reported to each other: "Song Sanyuan is here! Song Sanyuan has come out to save Baimao Fairy!"

Later, Huang Yushi, who was interviewed privately by Weibo, was not so enthusiastic when he came out.

Huan Tongpan, who appeared together with Huang Yushi, naturally added drama. The actor wore a green robe, an official hat, and a pair of official boots. Excess money.

Even his father Song County Magistrate is a handsome old man with black hair and black beard, not inferior to Huang Xunyan.In the last scene, he presided over justice with Mr. Huang, beheaded Wang Shiren, and betrothed Yang Xier, who had regained her girlish attire, to Brother Dachun.

Great adaptation!The casting is also great, and the characters fit the original shape perfectly!It doesn't matter if the background is simple, the art of opera pays attention to virtuality, not real scenes!

Director Li deserves to be a person who has experienced the entire process of writing and acting of "The Legend of the White Haired Fairy", and has an aesthetic ability that transcends the world, so that he can make this play so profound and moving.

Song Shi was so moved that he applauded and applauded, frequently paid for it, and praised the rehearsal of the play so well to the left and right.Huan Ling was as touched as he was, looking at Huan Tongpan and Song Zhuangyuan who were standing next to Huang Yushi and Master Song on the stage, and said: "These roles are well played, and the reciting is also good, I don't know where they invited them A good person, Team Leader Li is really capable."

The old theater fans at the side said: "It is rare to see such a good troupe in the three big washes in central Beijing. It is not an ordinary troupe that is scattered, and it may be raised by some prince or grandson's family."

Song Shi narrowly boasted: "If they belong to the son Wang Sun's family, they will naturally not be allowed to go out to perform arts. The appointment is a son of a scholar's family, brought by a scholar who came to Beijing from another place."

When he was teased by Huan Ling, he was terrified, afraid that someone would reveal his true identity, and it would be nice to use it to tease others.

Li Shaosheng became more and more ashamed, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at them, until the end of the drama, when the clown came on stage and made people laugh, he invited the two to sit down and talk at a nearby restaurant.

After entering the box, he first apologized to Song Shi with a face full of shame: "I really shouldn't have changed Zhuangyuan's Zhuangdiao into a drama without Song Zhuangyuan's permission, and performed it outside to make money."

But here in Beijing, rice beads are paid for, and the two of them eloped away from the family behind their backs. How could they have the face to ask for money from the housekeeper?Most of the money Zhao Yueshu brought from home was donated to the Ministry of Households, and the rest was not only for the two of them to spend, but also to prepare and perform the play specially written for the two of them. Go out and earn some.

It turned out that in Wuping, he could still make money by painting makeup looks taught by Song Shijiao for various artists, and occasionally doing some embroidery work, which was enough to support his family.But this kind of makeup is not popular in Beijing, and he is not familiar with the place, so he can't compete with those makeup girls, so business is not easy, so he has to rely on Song Zhuangyuan's reputation and "Biography of the White-haired Fairy" to make his way.

He blushed, and apologized in a low voice: "I wanted to wait for Song Zhuangyuan to make a promise, but when Brother Yueshu bought the team, the champion had already returned to his hometown, and he hadn't had the chance to report it. He won the title of Song Zhuangyuan."

Song Shi didn't mind that he rubbed his reputation, but he was just surprised that they were so poor that they were going out to perform, how could they buy an opera troupe?

Li Shaosheng sighed: "Originally we only invited a Mr. Deng who can write Zaju, so that when Song Zhuangyuan sends the manuscript, we can immediately compose Zaju. We also want to find a team that can sing well, just like we did at the beginning. May my aunt sing this "Bai" biography as well as she can, and perform a few times for us in Wazi to make her famous."

Unexpectedly, that Mr. Deng heard that his family wanted to invite an opera troupe to sing, so he said that it is not cost-effective to hire an opera troupe, so it is better to raise a troupe at home: first, most of the troupes outside are not good, and the prices of popular actors who sing well are high, which is not true. They can easily invite them; secondly, Zhao Shusheng has donated his official position in the future, and he will go to other provinces to become an official at some point, and then he will have to spend money to hire someone to learn to sing...

Three times, he just happened to know that a father and son of a hereditary conductor who had previously lived in Beijing were going to take up the post in the Northwest, and the whole family had to go with him.

With Mr. Deng leading the way, the couple boldly came to the door and talked about buying a theater troupe.

At first, the big family didn't think that their family was just ordinary students, but Mr. Deng told the middlemen that they were old acquaintances of Song Zhuangyuan, and they were the ones who had contributed to the compilation of "Biography of the White-haired Fairy". I met them in person and treated them as bosom friends.

The people in this theater troupe were all selected by the old commander himself and trained for many years. If it weren't for the restless war in the Northwest, Ma Shangshu issued an order to order their father and son to go to war, he would not be willing to sell them.But since he had to sell people, he would rather sell them to bosom friends. After verifying Zhao Yueshu's identity, he almost gave them the team for nothing.

Li Shaosheng told the story, and said shamelessly: "My family can't afford these people's chewing, so I had to make up a play and ask them to act, pretending to be the number one scholar from the same country, and earn a few silver coins to make ends meet."

Song Shi smiled and said: "That's okay. When Brother Zhao asked me to write your story, he said that he would re-act it. "White" is the same. After it has been performed, it will be performed. Should I still ask you to charge a few dollars in exchange for it?" I am the number one scholar? But why are you the only one here, brother Zhao? I still have something to tell you about the new play."

Li Shaosheng said: "Yue Shu is at home now working with Mr. Deng to deliberate on the lyrics. I only wish we could make up the play sooner. We also wanted to look for Mr. Song in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, but you are always away for several days, and my elder brother just got annoyed." You wrote an article, afraid of delaying your work because of this unimportant mundane business, so you didn’t have the nerve to leave a post and came back.”

Hearing that Zhao Yueshu had searched for him several times but hadn't seen anyone, Song Shi felt a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Because my father is going to Beijing, my mother, brothers and sisters-in-law are going to live in Beijing, so I want to buy a house. The big house, I went to inspect the house these days, I didn't mean to neglect it."

Li Shaosheng was being accused of embezzling his image, so he didn't dare to criticize him, Wei Wei said a few words, and asked him if he could go to Palm Eye after he was released.

Of course you have to watch!

He is also the hero of the soul in this new play, no matter what, he has to get some libretto for himself... and for his senior brother!

Zaju is either the main hero or the main heroine. From the beginning to the end of a play, only the main character sings, and the accompanying actors can only recite the words. It is unscientific, unreasonable, and not to give them special performances of celebrities. Save face!

It must be changed!Even if they compete with Zhao Yueshu face to face, they still have to win the right to sing a few verses for their brothers!

Song Shi was very ambitious, and planned to meet Zhao Yueshu, relying on his fame to overwhelm Producer Zhao, Director Li, and Editor Deng, modify the singing style of contemporary dramas, and win more roles for himself in the dramas.

He is still on a long and stable vacation, so he can leisurely consider improving contemporary zaju art, but his senior brother has already worked overtime and reflexively. Hearing what Li Shaosheng said, his first reaction was to ask: "What is the name of the conductor of your zaju troupe? Where is his home? Do you know where he used to serve and fought in wars?"

A hereditary commander who loves zaju and has a zaju troupe at home, is he really capable of defending the border?

In the Song Dynasty's palace examination policy questions, he answered the question of "selecting good generals". He has also participated in such a chapter before.But I don't know if this commander is a good general or a person who has obtained an official under the patronage of his ancestors, but has no record or even actually been on the battlefield?

As a senior officer, although he usually does not go beyond his authority to check the Ministry of War, but since he learned about this, he has to check the identity of the general—if he is really a good general, he will not hesitate to write a memorial to praise him; but if he is not With the ability to lead troops, he also had to act as an officer, and impeached the Ministry of War once!
