Chapter 446 Tianjin Jingyuan (1)

After Tianjin was re-controlled by the National Government, Tianjin's economy became cautious again. Chinese and foreign merchants gathered here, and ships entering and leaving the Tianjin port were endless every day. If Shanghai was the seaport for southern China's materials, then Tianjin was the seaport for northern China's materials, and its prosperity was no worse than Shanghai. Driven by the economy, Tianjin's Liyuan Opera Troupe also ushered in a period of prosperity. As long as you can sing a few sentences, you will not have to worry about not being able to eat this bowl of rice in Tianjin. In Tianjin, famous actors in various opera troupes are highly praised. Although their identities are still regarded as low-ranking by those scholarly families, their social status has been greatly raised by the popular people around them. Even those rich and powerful merchants and officials should respectfully call them bosses when they see these famous actors.

Luo Yunsheng's Liyuan Tour in Tianjin is a big and small role. His Qin Opera major is awesome. Unfortunately, this is in Tianjin. People in Tianjin who are used to listening to Beijing Opera and Kunqu Opera are naturally not interested in this bold and broad singing style, so the Yunsheng Ban where he is can only perform in small teahouses and theaters in some poor neighborhoods. Fortunately, most of the people who work in Tianjin are from Shaanxi and Gansu, and they are naturally very happy to hear such a hometown opera that can only be seen in temple fairs and festivals in Tianjin. They will come to support the show every time Yunsheng Ban starts. Although they don't have much money, they finally support Yunsheng Ban, allowing Yunsheng Ban to gain a foothold in Tianjin's Longtan land.

On that day, Yun Shengban started a play in Dejulou outside the front gate of the old city of Tianjin. He sang the famous play of Traveling to West Lake to save Pei Sheng. Luo Yunsheng, who played Li Huiniang, received a fire-breathing skill. Even the coolie who had no money on him was willing to pay a few change. After Luo Yunsheng finished singing, he went down to the backstage. Yun Shengban's boss led a middle-aged man in foreign clothes. Before the boss could introduce him, the middle-aged man walked forward on his own, in a weird tone that was cold in his bones, but his words seemed very enthusiastic, and he held his fists and said, "Boss Yun, he is so good at singing! Even in the backstage, he could hear his bloody energy!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Luo Yunsheng frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the play of Traveling to West Lake to save Pei Sheng is a famous Qin Opera drama, its singing skills and lyrics cannot fully show the characteristics of Qin Opera, let alone the passionate and passionate ***. The biggest feature of this play is the part of the fire. The praise of the middle-aged man in front of him revealed his identity as an outsider. Thinking of Qin Opera's current position in Tianjin Wei, Luo Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh in secret.

Although he had a little emotion in his heart, Luo Yunsheng, who was used to walking in the world, naturally knew what it means to not show his emotions. He raised his hand and hugged the middle-aged man, and said, "Sir, I'm sorry! Can you ask, sir's name?"

However, this middle-aged man seemed to be very good at observing his expressions. Although Luo Yunsheng concealed it well, the middle-aged man could see Luo Yunsheng's inner emotions based on some details alone. A sneer flashed across his face. The enthusiasm he had shown before also faded. He did not answer Luo Yunsheng's question, but just played with the jasper ring of his thumb.

Feeling that the atmosphere became a little awkward, the boss of Yun Shengban hurriedly stepped forward to rescue the situation and said, "This is Mr. Fang, the foreign manager of Jingyuan. Today I came to invite our Yun Shengban to go to Jingyuan to act in the evening."

When Luo Yunsheng heard this news, he was stunned at first, then there was an unconcealed look of surprise on his face, and he quickly agreed: "Thank you for your love. I, Yun Shengban, will definitely be here tonight."

"This is the best! Jingyuan started the show tonight. The master invited more than a dozen major opera troupes from Tianjin Wei to start the show. I hope your Yunsheng ban will not let your master down." Seeing Luo Yunsheng like this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sneer, thinking that he was just a flatterer and greedy person. He looked down on Luo Yunsheng two points, took out one and asked for it. He threw it to Luo Yunsheng, said a few words, and turned around and left Deju Tower.

The attitude of the middle-aged man did not affect the mood of the boss Yunshengban. He picked up the invitation on the ground with a happy face, opened it and watched it twice. He said to Luo Yunsheng, who seemed to be in deep thought, "Yunsheng! This is a great opportunity for our Yunshengban. If we can get the praise of the master of Jingyuan tonight, our Yunshengban will be able to eat in Tianjin. This time they are all for you. You must act carefully tonight and don't make any mistakes."

Everyone in Tianjin knows the one who lives in Jingyuan, the Japanese concession. Although he is just a phoenix with hair loss, he is also a phoenix after all. He still has some influence on the ground in Tianjin. The opera troupe who eats pear garden rice in Tianjin sharpens his head and wants to get into Jingyuan and sing a play. With the praise from Jingyuan, this praise is enough to make the opera troupe firmly stand in this Tianjin Wei. For Yun Shengban, who can only roll on the lower level, it is very good to be invited to the troupe. As long as they don’t perform in Jingyuan, they will be successful.

Luo Yunsheng nodded in response to the instructions of the troupe boss, but was thinking about other things in his heart. Finally, he simply sued the boss on the grounds of preparing for the evening play, and returned to the single room prepared for him by the theater. After returning to the single room, he told the troupe not to disturb him, then locked the door and took off his makeup alone in the mirror. A very strange smile appeared on his face. The smile seemed to contain joy, excitement, hatred, killing, etc., which made him look particularly gloomy and ferocious.

"Master, senior brother, junior brother Xiaoyue. You all know it too! Our opportunity is here, just tonight. As long as I get close to Fu Yi, I can get rid of the disaster and avenge you! Don't worry, I have prepared for this day for ten years and will never fail."

Luo Yunsheng was talking to himself while removing his makeup, as if there were others beside him. After clearing all the oil paint from his face, he stood up, turned around and walked to a waist-length wardrobe, squatted down and drew it gently with his fingernails. Then he heard a click, a drawer popped up at the bottom of the wardrobe, pulled open the drawer, and saw nine ghost-headed flags neatly placed inside. A yin aura immediately filled the entire room, and the hot tea on the table also cooled down quickly under the influence of this yin aura.

Luo Yunsheng was not an ordinary singer. He was the descendant of the lower nine-rate Lingmen. His sect was called Guiqinmen. The ancestor of the sect was born as a tomb robber. Later, he accidentally obtained a volume of the practice of heretics in an ancient tomb, which allowed him to be promoted to the world of practice to create a heritage. Although their sects are already considered to be the outsider sects in the world of practice, they sometimes also do some tomb robbers and dig tombs. In addition, since most of their deceased sects are in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, and they learn Qin Opera. Therefore, people in the lower nine-rate call them Guiqinmen. However, they thought the name was not good and unlucky, so they changed it to Guiqinmen.
