And after Li Shangen mentioned it, he immediately reacted and understood what Li Shangen was thinking.
It becomes even simpler after that. Leader Yang needs Ding Zheng to attract popularity, and Ding Zheng needs more money.
The two sides coincided with each other and decided to cooperate directly!
What's more important is that according to the plot of the movie, Liang Kuan, one of Huang Feihong's apprentices, happened to work in this dock theater troupe after he came to the provincial capital!
Liang Kuan himself has good skills and good character. If he can help Ding Zheng and Li Shangen, it will be a help!
Moreover, Team Leader Yang also paid Li Shangen a very high salary.
For the time being, it is only a small amount higher than Li Shangen and Ding Zheng playing monkeys outside every day, but once the play is arranged and becomes popular, they will also receive a large share of the theater tickets!
The theater also includes food and accommodation, which saves a lot of money.
The next day, Li Shangen took Ding Zheng to perform outside as usual.
Although the cooperation has been negotiated, there are still many preliminary preparations.
For example, who will dub Ding Zheng? Not many people are willing to do this kind of thankless task of just fulfilling other people's needs.
Leader Yang even decided to go there himself if he couldn't find anyone.
Although he is a bit old, his skills have not fallen behind!
And Li Shangen also continued to promote that they were going to the Pier Theater Troupe to play the real Monkey King during the intervals between normal street performances, as well as at the beginning and end.
Whether you can make the money Ding Zheng needs to practice martial arts depends on this wave, so you must pay attention to it.
After hearing Li Shangen's propaganda, people started looking forward to it.
I’ve seen monkey tricks before, but I’ve never seen monkey tricks on the stage!
This is really something new!
A few days later.
Li Shangen and Ding Zheng left their original homes and headed to the dock.
I originally planned to call Yan Zhendong, but Yan Zhendong refused because he was afraid that he would be embarrassed in the troupe by teaching a monkey to practice martial arts.
But in fact, Yan Zhendong had other plans.
After earning so much money from teaching Ding Zheng to practice martial arts, Yan Zhendong felt that he might have found a way to make a fortune.
That is to open a martial arts gym!
He must try it himself, maybe he will become a master.
Ding Zheng had no choice but to be prepared to run back and forth in the future.
In fact, Ding Zheng has already mastered all three skills of Yan Zhendong.
It's just that Yan Zhendong is more experienced in the cultivation of iron cloth shirt, so Ding Zheng still needs stimulation and help from him.
As for Yan Zhendong's desire to open a martial arts gym.
Ding Zheng had no idea and even expressed support.
Although Yan Zhendong is the villain in the movie.
But we got along with each other during these days.
Ding Zheng discovered that he was not so evil as to be unforgivable, and he was quite principled in doing things.
Ding Zheng felt that if Yan Zhendong suffered less humiliation and poverty, he should be able to retain his kindness and morality and become a good person.
…
Pier Theater Troupe.
As the name suggests, it is naturally located at the pier.
A large shed made of wood and thick bamboo in a shallow bay where the sea is calm all year round.
Listening to a play on the sea in the summer, with the sea breeze blowing, has a unique charm.
The Pier Theater is huge, with not only a high stage but also a large auditorium.
There are even several VIP seats specially set up. In addition, Master Yang has a wide network and can often invite famous actors to perform. Some people with status and status also like to come and listen when they have nothing to do.
Li Shangen brought Ding Zheng to the theater troupe. Leader Yang and the entire theater troupe greeted him at the pier early, showing great respect.
There were also a huge number of people watching the excitement.
When Ding Zheng appeared, everyone shouted and welcomed him.
Some people in the theater troupe started to boo after watching Ding Zheng's performance.
"Monkey God, smile!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Ding Zheng ignored it.
But Li Shangen, who was walking next to him, suddenly shouted: "Laugh!"
Ding Zheng paused, turned around reluctantly, and grinned.
Li Shangen looked calm and calm next to him, but his heart was filled with joy.
Ever since he met Ding Zheng, he has never commanded this strange monkey so casually!
Now the serfs finally turned over and began to sing.
"Monkey, do somersaults!"
There was another voice.
Ding Zheng immediately cast a warning look at Li Shangen.
Li Shangen raised his eyebrows proudly, suppressed a smile, raised his hand, and said: "Turn it over!"
Ding Zheng clenched his fists angrily, but he still endured it and turned somersaults very cooperatively, drawing cheers after cheers.
"There is no one else who looks good like you!" Ding Zheng looked at Li Shangen's proud look and kept repeating in his mind that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
The reason for this scene.
It was because Ding Zheng had discussed it with Li Shangen before coming to the troupe.
No matter what Ding Zheng did at any time, as long as Li Shangen saw it, he would shout words to Ding Zheng twice that others could not understand at any time, and make gestures and instructions.
You must make sure that others do not understand, and you must also give instructions.
And act confidently.
Makes Li Shangen look like a real monkey trainer.
This can most effectively reduce the halo around Ding Zheng and attract more attention to Li Shangen!
The pier troupe can accommodate a larger audience and will naturally attract the attention of more and more dangerous people.
If Ding Zheng behaves too extraordinary and becomes the monkey god that everyone wants to figure out, it is likely to bring about unknown crises.
But if Li Shangen does this, part of Ding Zheng's extraordinary qualities will be attributed to Li Shangen.
Others would only sigh when they saw it. Li Shangen was good at training monkeys, and he happened to meet an outstanding monkey.
Ding Zheng can be as low-key as possible and show off his appearance.
In order to make the identity of Li Shangen, the monkey training master, more authentic.
They agreed that when there are people, especially when there are many people, Li Shangen can really direct Ding Zheng to do small things.
to achieve a more obvious effect.
However, Ding Zheng also warned Li Shangen not to take the opportunity to mess around.
However, Li Shangen clearly promised well at that time, but now he acted like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, and seized the opportunity to play with Ding Zheng.
"Turn over!" Li Shangen asked Ding Zheng to turn over again, with a smile on his face.
Of course he is not afraid of Ding Zheng's revenge.
He knew it well and would not do anything excessive. At most, it would be disgusting and disgusting to Ding Zheng.
After all, Ding Zheng has always been the leader, and now Li Shangen is the master. Of course, he must seize the opportunity to train this dead monkey.
"Let you spend my money!"
"Let you be extravagant!"
Every time Li Shangen gave a command, he made a calculation in his mind.
The short walk from the entrance of the troupe to the room arranged by Leader Yang became the most humiliating experience Ding Zheng has experienced since time travel.
…
"This is the costume. This is what the Monkey God does when he is on stage. Monkey King Li will take a look first. If there are any problems, we can make changes!"
As soon as he arrived at the troupe, Leader Yang couldn't wait to take out the "script" belonging to Ding Zheng.
With continuous advertising, word of the Dock Theater Troupe's great performance about the return of the Great Sage has spread throughout the surrounding area, and it has become extremely popular.
Leader Yang naturally wants to arrange the show quickly and sell tickets as soon as possible to start the performance.
Since this kind of thing has been publicized, if the audience waits for a long time, it will cause rejection.
Everything must be accelerated!
Li Shangen took the things and started studying them with Ding Zheng that night.
Three days later.
"How can gods and Buddhas destroy our Huaguo Mountain indiscriminately? This is unreasonable! Give me a stick!!!"
Watching Ding Zheng on the stage opening his mouth and making perfect mouth movements, swinging his stick and hitting the actor dressed as a giant spirit god in front of him, even Li Shangen, a layman who thought he didn't understand opera, couldn't help but feel excited.
This scene has been scheduled for three days and is progressing very quickly.
The orangutan is already flexible, and with Yue Dingzheng practicing martial arts every day, he has better control over his body than ever before. The movements on the stage are not difficult at all for him.
Nowadays, Ding Zheng has slowed down the progress a little to avoid shocking the world.
"As expected of a magical monkey...he also learns this very quickly, faster than humans!"
"How else can I say it's a magical monkey?"
"The acting is really great, he looks like a monkey."
"This is how the Monkey King should be!"
"Yes, I heard my grandpa say that in "Journey to the West", the Monkey King was short and thin, and he didn't look like the actor at all."
The troupe members watching the show under the stage were all amazed.
"You guys think, why is this magical monkey so spiritual? Throughout the ages, I have never heard of a monkey acting on stage."
"You fart, isn't the Monkey King more powerful than this monkey?"
"That's false. How can there be such a thing as the Monkey King?"
"Ha! Idiot, let me tell you, just a few days ago, I met an extraordinary person..."
"Is there really a god in this world?"
"Look carefully, is the monkey's hair dirty? Why is it a little black?"
Suddenly, a Wu Sheng's words made Li Shangen alert. He looked up and found that the hair on Ding Zheng's body was indeed black.
"It's time to paint again." Li Shangen shook his head and sighed.
…
As Li Shangen and the troupe jointly promote the time, it is getting closer and closer.
This special play performed by monkeys is becoming more and more popular.
Many viewers who knew Ding Zheng and Li Shangen before had already bought the pre-sale tickets for Pier Theater Troupe.
Those who did not know Ding Zheng at the beginning also became aware of this matter due to the original publicity of the theater troupe.
After all, it is the largest theater troupe in Foshan. If we really put in the effort to promote it, it will certainly be effective.
People's expectations are rising.
Six days later.
The great sage's return and the havoc in heaven has officially begun!
It’s a big chapter with nearly 3,000 words! I’m asking for leave in advance for the next two or three days. I will most likely have to work overtime and my coding time will be reduced. There may only be one update. But I will try my best to have two updates! I hope everyone will support me!
