Chapter 518 Her face is the signature of Baixiang Pavilion
When Li Wenchong found out afterwards, he almost went crazy with joy.
"Which old lady is this, madam, with such good taste?"
Gu Qingling rolled her eyes at him: "They were just joking and wanted to know my secret skin care recipe. Do you think they really praised us for being a good match?"
"So what? As long as one person dares to say it, as time goes by and more people say it, when things about us are exposed again, won't they not be surprised and become accustomed to it?" Li Wenchong didn't take it for granted.
He said, "Let me tell you, let's go out more often in the future if we have nothing to do, go shopping, listen to plays, pick up the children together..."
Gu Qingling held up her forehead: "Why do you say that the wind is the rain?"
"How can you say that wind is rain? Do you know how anxious I am to marry you? If I weren't afraid of your son and my daughter-in-law's reaction, I would have wished to get married next year."
Since the revelation, has Li Wenchong not been active any day? Gu Qingling said: ...This matter really cannot be rushed!
Not only do they need to be mentally prepared, but so does she.
But obviously, someone didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he took her to the People's Theater the next day and took her to listen to the play all morning.
The People's Theater was built by Gu Qingling, and the troupe inside was retrained by her. It was more of a stage play than a singing opera.
Various gossips are presented in the form of a stage play, with talking and singing, rich plots, and more impactful performances. Not only ladies and ladies from the major families in Jinling like to listen, but also ordinary people with good financial conditions at home like to listen.
Therefore, almost every performance is sold out.
When new plays came out, because the ticket prices became more and more expensive, the audience was basically ladies and ladies from major families. Later, there were more performances and it became an "old play". As the ticket prices gradually dropped, it became a street play.
The great love of the old man.
A play can be performed many times, and people from many walks of life can watch it together.
Coupled with the Jinling newspaper reports, all kinds of comments and controversy, it is difficult to think whether it is popular or not.
"Oh, the white lady last time was really beautiful! The way the white lady looked, she was really beautiful, just what I thought she would look like."
"Isn't that right? If I don't come to see a show every month, I always feel like something is missing."
"Hahahaha... It won't work if you don't watch it. If you don't watch it, you won't know what to talk about with your coworkers in the future."
…
"The Legend of White Snake" has many scenes, from when she and Xiaoqing went out to repay a favor and met Xu Xian by chance, to when they settled on the banks of the Qiantang River and opened a shop to save people, to when the mage was captured to "destroy demons", and all kinds of things in between.
The turning point made people in Jinling City unable to stop and wished they could finish it in one day.
But, how is this possible?
Before the drama came out, "The Legend of White Snake" had already come out, and everyone knew that this one was particularly long.
After the adaptation, even if it becomes shorter, it cannot become too short.
Gu Qingling and Li Wenchong were in the box upstairs. The protruding balcony faced the stage, and two sofa chairs were placed side by side. If you don't want to be seen, you can also close the white curtains or wear the masks provided by the theater.
There are several types of masks, those that cover the entire face and those that only cover the eyes.
However, it is usually done just for fun, and rarely because it cannot be shown to others.
Because this was not his first time here, while waiting for the show, Li Wenchong consciously took a newspaper from the newspaper rack next to him.
The newspaper industry in Jinling is very developed. In addition to various serious information newspapers, there are also entertainment gossip newspapers that comment on various gossips. This newspaper will not only publish the original dramas adapted by the People's Theater, but also publish the latest dramas.
The opinions of major "critics" on the scenes of each issue will be published.
Just a "war of words" can support countless scholars.
The more exciting your writing is and the more it can cause others to argue with you, the easier it will be for your writing to be published in newspapers and the richer the royalties you will get.
Therefore, some scholars who had tasted the benefits found that they had never passed the imperial examination, so they directly came to write "comments" and became "critics".
Among them, "Mr. Yayan", because of his strict style of writing, accused "The Legend of the White Snake" of disregarding ethics and mixing a goblin and a human together, which is simply insulting.
There is also a long argument at the end, citing arguments to prove the correctness of the statement "Those who are not of my race must have different minds."
Originally, his statement was nothing. Everyone had just seen it. At most, they praised him for his profound knowledge and his ability to speak so many truths. After all, those who read entertainment gossip newspapers except for critics like them and other major media outlets who want to have fun.
Outside the family, most of them are ordinary people who have just learned a few words and haven't read much - yet another "romantic young man" appeared to quarrel with him, saying that he went too far and didn't believe in the divine.
love.
Thus, the sacred war of words began.
Both of them were on fire.
Many people bought newspapers to watch the excitement and see who would be the final winner.
The two of them talked more and more, and became so angry that a group of onlookers jumped into the water. The scolding war expanded, and the number of people joining each other's comrades increased. Even an ordinary citizen could write a few words and throw them into the entertainment gossip newspapers.
The reason why the scolding war exploded and gradually expanded like this is because of the "Common Words x Project" promoted by Lu Qingling in the early years.
The "Commonly Used Characters Project" was very successful. Within a few years, many people in Jinling knew a lot of characters. Although they could not read all the books, the graded books published by Yao's Bookstore gave them a lot of confidence.
.
——It seems that reading is not that difficult, right? You see, I can read this xx series.
——It’s not difficult in the first place. The main reason is that there are too many rare words that we don’t use much in daily life. We don’t take the imperial examination. Who would learn so many words?
——That is, if all the books in the world were like Yao's Bookstore and were published simply, then I would be able to understand them all.
…
Therefore, the entertainment gossip newspaper does not have high requirements for writing. It places more emphasis on "common words" and "interestingness." Even ordinary people can understand it and participate in it. Wouldn't it be easy to become popular?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Entertainment gossip newspapers also particularly like pictures, various illustrations, rich imagination and bold painting style.
Some people even read entertainment gossip newspapers just to see the beauties in the newspapers.
Gu Qingling: "..."
So, is this why her entertainment gossip newspaper especially likes to hire artists?
This reminded Gu Qingling of the modern "collecting card game".
Which childhood didn’t collect cards?
Ultraman cards, Pokemon, Twelve Flower Fairies...gold cards, silver cards, commemorative cards, all kinds of beautiful cards.
You can't eat or drink this stuff, and you can't look at it every day. Why do so many people collect it?
Gu Qingling said that it is probably the "collecting habit" engraved in human genes.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingling launched various series of commemorative cards, posters and other items, opening a new door for his newspaper, magazine and book industries.
——Oh~ So it can still be like this!
From the serious literacy cards of "Jinling Weekly", to the general knowledge cards of "Jinling Agricultural Science", to the beauty cards of entertainment and gossip... In short, there are cards that you can't think of, and there are also cards that they can't make.
"Card".
Li Wenchong flipped through the newspaper and a beautiful beauty card fell out. He picked it up and said, "Hey, isn't this White Snake? Your newspaper is quite following the trend. When White Snake became popular, you immediately launched a collection of White Snake."
Card series, now it’s better, there will definitely be more people grabbing newspapers..."
Even he himself has collected several series.
Isn’t it that Li Wenchong is interested in these things? Isn’t it because there are too many relatives of the emperor and he wants to pick some gifts that are “saving money and being creative”?
Gu Qingling’s “card collection series” is so popular in Jinling, how could Li Wenchong miss it?
