On the second day of July, Jiangnan Grand Theater's new play "The Injustice of Dou E" officially opened. The new play was still chosen to be performed at the Wangyuelou Old Theater in Beicheng, and it was still starred by the original cast led by Xie Yingying. Because in order for a play to be successful, it must be successful.
You have to think first, and the importance of the premiere is very important.
This time, Lin Jue invited Fang Dunru to come and watch. Although Fang Dunru didn't like to appear on such occasions, this was the first time Lin Jue invited him. Moreover, Jiangnan Grand Theater has become famous in the past six months and has become a
In addition to the flower world, Hangzhou is an entertainment hotspot. Driven by the Jiangnan Grand Theater, multiple theaters appeared in Hangzhou, which has become an emerging industry. Therefore, under this famous reputation, Fang Dunru also
I have long wanted to come and see it with my own eyes and see why this theater is so popular.
Fang Dunru asked for two tickets, saying that he wanted to take his wife to watch the show. Lin Jue naturally wanted it. However, when the show started, Lin Jue only saw Fang Dunru coming. He asked his wife where he was.
Mrs. Dun Ruquedao and several wives of college professors went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Naturally, Lin Jue could only smile bitterly. Mrs. Fang was not someone who could sit down and watch a show. It was funny to say that Mrs. Fang had a lively personality. I think she was a lively and lovely girl when she was young, but Fang Dunru was a calm and restrained person.
Mrs. Fang has not read any books and is not from a high family background, but Fang Dunru is a great scholar of the time who is full of poetry and literature. Their interests and hobbies are very different, which in the eyes of outsiders should be extremely different.
A well-matched couple. However, Fang Dunru and his wife got along well with each other. Not to mention they were in love with each other, at least they respected and loved each other. Therefore, sometimes it is really hard to explain things like marriage. Fang Dunru, a person like this in this world
The Great Confucian didn't bow down to Mrs. Fang, who didn't know a few Chinese characters and had a very different personality and behavior. Even if the Fang family had no children, they refused to take a concubine. As the saying goes, marriage is like a pair of shoes. It only depends on whether it is comfortable or not.
You know with your own feet that other people's guesses and speculations are in vain.
What surprised Lin Jue was that he originally did not invite other prominent people in Hangzhou to attend the premiere, but after Fang Dunru, the prefect of Hangzhou, Yan Zhengsun, came to the show in casual clothes. Lin Jue was even more shocked.
Surprisingly, not long before the show started, the prince and his son also arrived and sat in the most expensive box in the middle of the second floor. Lin felt this news and hurriedly went to see Prince Liang and his son.
, he finally saw the little princess dressed as a man. The moment the two people met their eyes, all the doubts in Lin Jue's heart disappeared. The little princess's eyes were affectionate, and her eyes were full of longing.
It seemed that he had thousands of words to say to himself, without the slightest complaint or resentment. But the moment Lin Jue saw the little princess, he realized that he also had a lot to say about her and missed her unforgettablely.
If the young prince's cold snort hadn't interrupted the entanglement between their eyes, Guo Bing would have noticed something strange between the two of them. The young prince was very dissatisfied with the affectionate and indifferent gaze between Lin Jue and his sister, and couldn't help but
He drove Lin Jue out with three or two sentences of beating the mandarin ducks with a stick.
It was the first time that the prince and his son and the prefect Yan came to watch a play at the Jiangnan Grand Theater at the same time. Everyone knew that prefect Yan would never attend such an occasion, and the only thing that allowed prefect Yan to participate was the annual
The Oiran Competition is the face of Hangzhou, and Magistrate Yan's participation is also for the overall interests of Hangzhou City and to expand the influence of Hangzhou City. How can He De of this Jiangnan Grand Theater allow Magistrate Yan to come? There must be other reasons.
.
As for the prince and his son coming, that is even more surprising. You must know that Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion are the properties of the prince's palace. These two brothels have also imitated the Jiangnan Grand Theater and opened theater performances, and even the top star of the two brothels, Chu
Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan also performed in the plays themselves to compete with the popularity of the Jiangnan Grand Theatre. However, as the actual owners, the prince and his son came to the rival theater to support them, which is really surprising.
Although, to outsiders, these are strange things, people who know the inside story actually understand in their hearts that all of this is actually just because of one person, that is Lin Jue. Lin Jue is one of the owners of the Jiangnan Grand Theater.
First, many people know this, and only the current Lin Jue has the face to let the prefect and the prince and his son come uninvited and actively support him. Although this bastard of the Lin family is not yet a weakling, he is just a commoner with no merit or fame.
One, but he is actually an extremely important figure in this city. He is also very important in the minds of Yan Zhengsheng and the prince and his son. I am afraid that Lin Jue himself is not fully aware of this.
In any case, the new drama officially started on time. Lin Jue and Fang Dunru sat in a small box drinking herbal tea, shaking the folding fan, watching the lights dim and the curtain opening.
The curtain opened, and under the dim light, an ordinary street market appeared before everyone's eyes. On the walls on both sides of the theater, slides flashed, showing the scene of the market in 180 degrees. The improved glass pieces were polished even more
Thin, the painter's craftsmanship became more refined, and the scenes became more realistic and lifelike. This surprised Fang Dunru, who was watching this kind of stage play for the first time, and forgot to shake his fan, and looked at all this in amazement.
A woman dressed in ordinary clothes put her hands on her hips and started the ceremony amidst the beating of drums with a smile on her face.
"Flowers will bloom again, and people will no longer be young. There is no need to grow rich, peace and happiness are gods. I am the same as Grandma Cai. She is from Chuzhou and has a family of three direct relatives. Unfortunately, my husband has passed away, and I have only one child.
I am eight years older. My wife and I have lived together for the past two years. We have quite a lot of money at home. A scholar named Dou here borrowed twenty taels of silver from me last year. Now the principal and interest are 40 taels of silver. I have asked for it several times.
, that Dou Xiucai only said that he was poor and had no need to repay me. He has a daughter who is seven years old this year. She was born happily and looks cute. I am interested in him and want to be my daughter-in-law, so I agreed to these forty taels of silver.
Don't you get the best of both worlds? He said it was a good day today, so he sent his daughter to my house personally. I didn't ask for any money to go, I just waited at home. Only Dou Xiu dared to stay here sooner or later."
Dou Tianzhang, who was wearing patchwork clothes and looked depressed, led a little girl slowly up the stage from the right.
"After reading all the thousands of books, I feel pitiful and poor. One day, the Han Dynasty accepted the call of grace, and it was not said that it was worth mentioning that Zi was empty. The young man's surname was Dou, his name was Tianzhang, and his ancestors were from Jingzhao, Chang'an. He studied Confucianism at a young age and was rich in wealth.
Article. The fight for fortune failed, and the fame was unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the family was destroyed, and the girl was left behind. His mother died when he was three years old, and now the child is seven years old. He was impoverished and lived in this Chu.
I live in Zhouzhou. There is Granny Cai here..."
In a few words, the story officially kicked off. Dou Tianzhang failed in the imperial examination and was impoverished, so he had to sell his daughter to pay off his debts. This scene was briefly explained. Amidst Dou Duanyun's cry of "Daddy", Dou Tianzhang hid his face and ended up. Granny Cai
Pulling Dou Duanyun off from the other side, the curtain fell.
Although it was only a short first act, the low drum music, dilapidated scenes, bleak lights, and fallen leaves falling from time to time from the stage created an extremely depressing atmosphere. Many students in the audience felt that they were struggling to read.
The pain of the first grade resonated, and his eyes became moist. Even Fang Dunru, who was sitting next to Lin Jue, remembered the hardships of studying hard and taking the exam, and his heart was very depressed. Of course, more viewers began to
Enter the plot and curse Dou Tianzhang for his cruelty and abandoning his own flesh and blood for fame. In short, the first scene has captured everyone's hearts.
The second act begins, several years later. Granny Cai asks Dr. Sailu for money and supplies. Dr. Sailu has no money to pay back the debt, so he tricks Granny Cai into going to the village to get money. When they walk to the hillside, Doctor Sailu takes out the money.
The rope strangled Granny Cai's neck and wanted to kill her. At this time, Zhang Luer and his son passed by and rescued Granny Cai. Dr. Sai Lu fled in a hurry. Zhang Luer and his son learned that Granny Cai's family had money, and only she and her daughter-in-law depended on each other.
, gave birth to evil thoughts, and forced Granny Cai and her daughter-in-law to marry them. Granny Cai had no choice but to lead Zhang Luer and his son back home. Dou Duanyun, played by Xie Yingying, already looked like a young woman, and Zhang Luer's eyes were filled with tears.
He wanted to succeed. Granny Cai persuaded Dou Duanyun to agree to the marriage, but Duan Yun refused. So Zhang Luer bought arsenic. Shuang wanted to kill Granny Cai with poison, forcing Duanyun to remarry and occupy Granny Cai's family business. Zhang Luer
Dou E's father accidentally drank poison and died. Zhang Lv'er's threat failed, and he falsely accused Duanyun of murder and reported it to the government. The corrupt official Tao Biao got bribed by Zhang Lv'er and beat Dou Equ into an unjust case of murder. He was prepared to be executed.
The plot of the second act is complex and twists and turns. However, compared to the first act, the second act makes people feel more depressed and depressed. Zhang Luer and his son committed evil, a cowardly official accepted bribes and violated the law, while Dou Duanyun was determined to stick to his integrity.
The officials are cruel, the bad guys are free, the weak women are incompetent, all kinds of punishments are applied in turn, and the ferocious government officials send people to deal with cruel things. From when Dou Duanyun came on the stage, he was slim and graceful, and I saw you pity, to when Dou was beaten into a move.
Duan Yun was covered in blood, and his face looked like a fierce ghost. All of this made the audience fall into silence, filled with sighs and gnashing of teeth.
Most of the officials were ordinary people. Although they were in the peaceful and prosperous times of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who had never experienced the ferocity and tyranny of officials, and who had not suffered from the ill will of powerful people. At this moment, I felt the same feeling and panic in my heart.
Shaking his head and sighing. But this is not the most shocking thing. What makes the audience most uncomfortable is that this second act is full of depressive powerlessness. There is no positive energy in the entire second act, and there is nothing that makes them watch.
To hope. This is the most unacceptable part.
Fang Dunru watched the second act with furrowed brows. Needless to say, the skills and arias of the play were of course Lin Jue's. Lin Jue had obviously put a lot of effort into them. But Fang Dunru didn't pay much attention to these. What he focused on was why Lin Jue did this.
Write, why should all the viewers be depressed and uncomfortable to this point.
Before Fang Dunru could ask, the third act had already begun with the sound of a drum that shook people's hearts.
