The drama on the stage continues.

Taking advantage of the intermission between the third and fourth acts, the backstage staff took the time to go on stage and re-set the scene. Feng Ling also went backstage to change her clothes and took advantage of the precious rest time to drink a few sips of water to moisten her throat.

"The Mulberry Picking Girl" has only six acts in total. The first three acts are completely different from the last three acts. The real transformation of the Mulberry Picking Girl begins after the third act.

In the first three scenes, although the mulberry picking girl was forced to take over the burden of supporting her family, she became an absolute anomaly in the environment in which she lived. She was such a weird woman who appeared in the mouths of her peers and even the clan elders. How could she be married in the future?

But in fact, the mulberry picking girl met many good people in the process of doing business.

The businessmen who are also engaged in small silk business will help her out of sympathy for her; the elders of the clan will talk about how decent it is to show up in public, but in fact they will help the mulberry picker when she can't make any money in the early stage of her business.

In order to prevent her family from starving to death, the sister who had a good time as a daughter-in-law and is now a married woman would secretly help the mulberry picker contact the farmers who pick mulberry and raise silkworms, so that she would not be unable to harvest silk.

arrive.

Everyone helps her because of the brilliance of humanity.

I don't understand her because of worldly prejudices.

The mulberry-picking girl has been struggling with worldly prejudices.

Different from the bustle of "The Princess", "The Mulberry Picking Girl" has a long inner monologue. Each monologue is the reflection of the mulberry picking girl on herself. She must break free from the invisible cage given to her by the world in order to

When you truly step out of this world, you no longer live for your father or your siblings, but for yourself.

Jiang Qi, who has watched several rehearsals, commented: "The idea is very good and I can't watch it."

It's a good show, but it's a little bit not very good.

The actors are good, the concept is good, the lyrics are good, and the plot structure is good. It is neither obsessed with small love, nor rises to the righteousness of family and country. Considering the era when "The Mulberry Picking Girl" was born in the original world, Jiang Qi can understand why this is

This opera will become the eternal white moonlight in Wang Xinghua’s heart.

Most literary works will be limited by the times, just like Meng Lijun's original novel "Rebirth". This work has a total of 17 volumes and more than 600,000 words. The first 16 volumes took three years. Later, due to the death of the author's mother,

After stopping writing, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, the author resumed writing the 17th volume 14 years later, but in the end it was not completed.

When Jiang Qi listened to the chat between Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling, he once heard Wang Xinghua lament: The author who can write such a shocking work as "Rebirth" will be delayed because he can't imagine the ending of a woman who serves as an official in the court.

I have been reluctant to write the ending.

Feng Ling felt that maybe the author already had an ending in mind, but the author wanted a happy ending, but no matter how she imagined it, she couldn't think of an ending that didn't end in tragedy.

Equivalent to the author of the fateful "Rebirth", the original author of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" in Wang Xinghua's world undoubtedly used Shuangwen script.

According to Wang Xinghua, before the birth of "The Mulberry Picking Girl", the author was just a poor scholar who had not obtained any honors in the imperial examinations for many years. He was so poor that he couldn't live anymore, so he changed his pen name and wrote various third-rate books.

Live life by the book.

Later, when the scholar was selling storybooks, he heard two idle men talking about a businesswoman in a certain place. They said that the businesswoman was restless and stayed at home to educate her children after losing her husband. Instead, she came out to do business. The elders in the family

He didn't even bother to discipline him.

This sentence was overheard by a girl from a certain family who also came to the bookstore to buy storybooks. The girl was so angry that she called her servant to beat him up. The beating actually turned into a large-scale fight, which became a long-lasting hot topic in the local area.

The scholar who was worried about what hot topic to use to write a Newspeak book came up with an idea and decided to use this hot topic to write a drama book.

Taking into account the resentment of our ladies, the scholar thought that it would be more profitable to write a play about the favorites of the female relatives of wealthy families, so "The Mulberry Picking Girl" was born.

The scholar also made a lot of money and gained a lot of fans.

The only pity is that after "The Mulberry Picking Girl", scholars have not written such a shocking play. Therefore, there have been many other versions about the origin of "The Mulberry Picking Girl". Many people think that with the level of a scholar, it is simply not enough.

If he couldn't write "The Mulberry Picking Girl", he must have picked up someone else's masterpiece and lied about it as his own.

Due to various rumors, the reputation of "The Girl Picking Mulberries" has become more and more popular. By Wang Xinghua's time, "The Girl Picking Mulberries" has become an eternal white moonlight in the hearts of many people.

In the box on the second floor, an unknown theater owner yawned, looked around, found the QR code on the table, and scanned the code to order.

"Dad, Mom, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Hey, Boss Jiang's meal here is quite rich, including shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns, golden cakes, xiaolongbao, wonton noodles, and rice bowls.

, stir-fries are also available. Hamburgers and fried chicken... Oops, I didn’t eat much at night, so let’s order one for the whole family.” The theater owner placed the order on the spot, “Mom and Dad, do you want something to drink?”

"There are quite a few types of drinks, including black tea, green tea, white tea, and black tea. There are also lemon black tea and jasmine green tea. Forget it, let's have a bottle of Coke."

The boss dad glanced at his son who was already in his 40s and still liked fried chicken and Coke. He leaned back and changed to a similarly comfortable position and leaned on the back of the chair: "Here's a pot of Longjing."

"Drink less tea this late in the evening." The boss' mother rolled her eyes at her husband, then turned to look at her son, "Just give your dad a pot of boiling water. The mung bean cake just now was pretty good. I'll have another plate."

Boss dad: "...let's have a plate of melon seeds."

The boss continues to place orders.

Soon, refreshments, melon seeds, fried chicken, and Coke were delivered to the box, and the service staff also thoughtfully brought some hot towels for wiping your hands.

The boss happily ate fried chicken and asked: "Dad, do you think if I add a few of these boxes to our theater, will it..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't even think about it." The boss's sudden idea was ruthlessly rejected by his father, "How much do you plan to sell for adding a private room?"

"Two thousand? Three thousand? Five thousand? Or eight thousand? If Xiao Bailing is an actor in your theater, you can sell it for as much as you want, but what about others?"

"I'm not even talking about Little Larkin. Just this play. Can anyone in your theater write it?"

boss:?

"What's wrong with this play?" The boss was puzzled, "I think this play is not good. It is far inferior to "The Legend of the Princess". It is smelly, long and boring. Xiao Bailing's singing is really good, but the plot is also bad."

It's peaceful. It's not just business, there's no drama, it's not lively at all."

Boss’s parents:……

"I don't understand drama." The boss's mother shook her head.

"It's hopeless." The boss' dad also shook his head.

"But there is really no market for this play now."

"Yeah, it's such a pity. If it had been seventy years earlier...sigh."

This box was not the only one to make similar remarks.

Since there is a long break between Acts 3 and 4, the audience is given ample time to go to the toilet, chat, and order tea and snacks. Everyone will naturally use this time to discuss the plot of the first three acts.

Compared with theater owners who run theaters but may not really know much about theater, the employees sitting on the first floor undoubtedly know theater very well.

No doubt I like it very much.

Ms. Cai Jiamin, who was captured by Wang Pingxiu to make up stories to satisfy her boss's curiosity and desire for gossip, was very fond of the mulberry picking girl.

Cai Jiamin sings Kun Opera. Anyone who knows a little bit about Kun Opera knows that due to its development, Kun Opera has gradually evolved into an elegant art pursued by dignitaries.

The meter is strict and the diction is ancient and elegant. As a result, it is overly popular among dignitaries and dignitaries. As a result, it has become separated from the secular society and has become an opera that ordinary people cannot understand at all.

Today's Kun Opera is better than before, but it still has a very high threshold for appreciation. If Jiang Qi could barely understand "The Mulberry Picking Girl" but didn't like it, then he might not understand or like it when he watched Kun Opera.

If you don’t understand it, how can you like it?

Cai Jiamin liked "The Girl Picking Mulberries" very much, but at the same time she felt sorry for "The Girl Picking Mulberries".

It's a good show, but it's a pity that it was born in the wrong era. Now that opera is in decline, there are not many audiences willing to go to the theater to watch a play, and even fewer audiences are willing to come to see this kind of play.

"It would be great if this play could be changed into a Kunqu opera, and I would also have the opportunity to sing on stage." Cai Jiamin sighed, "Brother, look at Yin Fei's expression. I heard them say that the stage name of the girl singing on stage is

Xiao Bailing, is she a relative of Yin Fei? I guess as soon as she returned to China, Yin Fei called me frantically and asked me to come here to watch the premiere. I remember that a few years ago, her proud disciple came on stage, and she was never so active.

."

Cai Jiamin's senior brother shook his head: "Probably not, maybe he is a junior of a friend. You were not in China some time ago. You don't know how popular Little Bailing is. It tours across the country, and the venues are full. VIP tickets in the front row can sell for one or two thousand.

One piece, major theaters are as wary of scalpers as they are of thieves."

"For a small opera like Huangmei Opera to produce such an actor, it is not surprising that Yin Fei works hard to promote it."

"I heard that many theaters are recruiting Huangmei Opera actors. "The Match" from several theaters in Magic City has been staged in the Grand Theater. If I were an actor in Huangmei Opera, I would definitely put an longevity card at home for Little Bailing.

, burn a few sticks of incense every morning and evening to worship."

Cai Jiamin was amused by her senior brother's joking remarks: "That's right, if our Kunqu Opera has such an actor, I will also provide her with longevity cards at home, so that our major will not be able to recruit students every year."

Cai Jiamin's senior brother raised his eyebrows: "Last year there was no..."

Cai Jiamin shook his head: "It's difficult. I hope to have a few good seedlings every year, but there are none every year."

As she spoke, Cai Jiamin stared at the stage with bright eyes: "If Xiao Bailing were my student, I would definitely..."

"Stop dreaming." Senior brother shook his head, "I am not the same type of actor as you."

Cai Jiamin could only sigh: "Oh, why is Yin Fei's life so good?"

Yin Fei also thinks her life is good.

Although, Xiao Bailing was not her student, and to some extent, it was not even discovered by her. It was discovered by her former colleague Nangong Fang, and it was Yang Qing who first recommended "The Legend of the Princess" to Fangyuan Theater.

But he also recited the book for Xiao Bailing. Otherwise, how could Fangyuan Theater take the initiative to issue an invitation based solely on Yang Qing's recommendation.

If he hadn't endorsed it himself, in a singing environment like an amusement park, how long would it have taken Little Bailing to sing before he was released...

Yin Fei looked at the decoration of the theater, the size of the stage, and recalled the effects of various facilities just now.

Well, the singing environment is good, but after all, the amusement park is not a serious place for singing. How long does it take to sing in an amusement park...

Yin Fei thought about the hot searches on the amusement park since last year, and basically stayed on the hot searches during the entire New Year period.
To be continued...
