As the days passed, the renovation of the theater was progressing rapidly. After the initial rush, the craftsmen got started and the progress accelerated, and Lin Jue finally did not have to spend a lot of time on-site guidance. Every day
Just come here for a walk, and then go back to Zaoyuan to warm up with your studies. During this period, there were also visitors. Lin Bonian, Ma Bin, the young prince and others all met. They knew that Lin Jue was preparing for the big exam, so they didn't bother him much.
The script was rehearsed and modified, and the lighting and shadow effects of the soundtrack were gradually taking shape. On March 15, the comprehensive rehearsal of the entire play was finally held for the first time. Lin Jue invited the little princess to watch this first full performance.
Rehearsal. Sitting in the rehearsal space in the backyard of the theater, Lin Jue, Little Princess Green Dancer Xie Danhong and more than a dozen people watched the entire performance as an audience. The two-and-a-half-hour performance was smooth and smooth.
.When the final scene of "Butterfly" came to an end, the little princess, Xie Danhong and Lu Wu all had tears streaming down their faces and lamented repeatedly.
Although this rehearsal did not have a light and shadow background, and although there were no formal costumes and only musicians playing music, the effect was already very satisfactory. The audience was able to be affected during the rehearsal, which shows that the lyrics and singing of the script have been
It has reached a relatively perfect situation. This is the result of careful consideration by Lin Jue and a group of screenwriters during this intense and busy period. Lin Jue believes that this new drama will be a huge success.
After Xie Yingying finished her performance, she took off her simple clothes and walked over. Lin Jue stood up, applauded and smiled and said: "Well done, well done. The character status of Zhu Yingtai before and after is very different. There is also some humor and playfulness in her character.
, but you are a tragic person. I was worried that you would not be able to change freely in one scene. Unexpectedly, it was much better than I imagined."
The little princess also touched her palms and nodded. Xie Yingying hurriedly came forward and bowed respectfully to the little princess. Both of them knew about the relationship between the other and Lin Jue, especially Xie Yingying, who actually felt a sense of panic in her heart. Because if the little princess in the future
If you marry Lin Jue, you must be a big woman. You must be respectful now so that you can get along with her easily in the future.
"It's so touching. I've heard this story before, but this is the first time I've seen this long play. Another time I watched a short play in Shang Wazi. The performance was nondescript, and it couldn't be compared to this one.
In comparison, especially Miss Yingying's acting skills are simply superb. I admire her, I admire her," the little princess said with a smile.
"The princess has received the award, but I don't dare to accept it. The young master's script and lyrics are good, and the slave is just performing his duty." Xie Yingying said with a smile.
"No matter how good the script is, it is useless without good actors. There is no need to be humble, good is good, so what else is there to be humble about? I am extremely satisfied. Just now they all cried when they saw Princess Green Dance." Lin Jue
smiled.
Xie Yingying glanced at Lin Jue and thought to herself: Don't praise me in front of the princess. If the princess is jealous, what will I do?
The little princess smiled and said: "Yes, there is no need to be modest. It seems that the capital is about to cause a big sensation. This is just a rehearsal, it will be even more exciting when it is on the stage."
Lin Jue said with a smile: "That's right. With the background light and shadow, the effect will be even more unparalleled. For example, in the last scene just now, the butterfly turned into a butterfly. On the stage, only the actors could use neon clothes as wings to spin and dance. But the really wonderful thing is when the curtain falls.
After that, use light and shadow to project dozens of pairs of colorful butterflies flying all over the place. That’s the real ending.”
Hearing this, the little princess was fascinated, imagining the gorgeous scene, and said with a smile: "I will definitely come to see the premiere. I have reserved the most expensive box here. I have already taken my fancy to the big box in the middle of the second floor. Thank you.
Mom, how much money is it, I will order it to be paid in advance now."
Xie Danhong's smiling eyes were almost gone, and he kept saying: "Oh, the princess comes to watch the show, how can she ask for money? Just choose a box, money or something... don't dare to accept it. You are Mr. Lin's friend,
If I accept your money, Mr. Lin can't you still scold me like a dog?"
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Has mom changed her temper? Why don't you make money even if you have money?"
Xie Danhong rolled her eyes and said: Why am I not willing to make money? Aren't I afraid that you will be unhappy? She says all day long that I am jealous of money. The princess's private box is the best one, and it is priced at two hundred taels of silver. Think about it.
It all hurts.
The little princess laughed lightly and said: "You open the door to do business, and one yard is the other. I have reserved the box. Is five hundred taels enough? Zhui'er, give me the banknote."
The maid who was following Guo Caiwei, Zhui'er, reached into her arms and took out a five hundred tael silver note and handed it to Xie Danhong. Xie Danhong swallowed her saliva and stared at the colorful silver note, her eyes full of longing. She spent tens of thousands of taels.
This was the first time she saw money coming in. But she didn't dare to take it, and her eyes glanced at Lin Jue's face.
Lin Jue smiled and stretched out his hand, taking the five hundred taels of silver note in his hand. Xie Danhong felt relieved and smiled happily. However, the next moment, she was dumbfounded again. It turned out that Lin Jue stuffed the silver note into the pendant again.
In the palm of my hand.
"How can I ask you to spend money to watch a play? In Hangzhou, I said that the princess can come to any play at the Jiangnan Grand Theater and it will always be free. This is the semicolon of the Jiangnan Grand Theater, and it is equally valid." Lin Juexiao
road.
The little princess smiled and said: "It's better to give them money, so that I won't be just watching the show? It's not easy for you either. I heard that Mama Xie and Miss Yingying have spent all their savings. I can't bear to give them money."
"
Xie Yingying said hurriedly: "Princess, don't worry, what is money? Do you have to ignore human kindness for money? Young master said, silver is actually the most useless thing, you can spend it again. Friendship cannot be bought with money."
If the princess gives money, then where is the friendship?"
The little princess was stunned, and said with a smile: "Oh, this mouth is saying the same thing. It seems that you have learned a lot of principles from Lin Jue. Lin Jue, when will you become my husband, you will also teach me
What are some great principles?" Lin Jue said with a smile: "Princess, do you want to hear the teaching? That's easy, I will explain it to the princess for three days and three nights another day. However, the princess may not be able to listen. If I tell others,
The truth is, those who don't listen will be punished. There used to be a private tutor in my Lin family who always kept a two-foot long green bamboo board. If he didn't listen to the instructions, he would be spanked with the bamboo board. I plan to follow suit."
Guo Caiwei's face turned crimson. The words of spanking were too explicit, especially when she said them in front of so many people, it seemed a bit ambiguous. There were women around her covering their mouths and laughing.
The little princess hurriedly changed the subject and said to Zhuo'er beside her: "Just put away the banknotes. If they don't want it, just throw it away. I'm happy to watch the show for nothing. In the future, you can also come to watch the show for free. They don't want the money anyway."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Hey, don't tell me, this first performance is really free of charge. I have already thought about it. I plan to take nothing for the first three days of the opening and watch the show for free. Tickets will be officially sold after three days.
."
"Ah? Mr. Lin, are you really planning to do this?" Xie Danhong was the first to speak up. Lin Jue had mentioned it before, but Xie Danhong thought Lin Jue said it casually, but he didn't expect Lin Jue to actually say it.
Plan to do this.
"Of course, I have already decided. This is to open up the popularity of my theater and let the people in the capital accept this new way of performing plays. Use their reputation to spread the word. It may not seem to make money, but it is to earn reputation.
Do you understand how to gain popularity?"
Xie Danhong sighed: "That's all, you can do whatever you want."
Lin Jue smiled and ignored her, and continued: "Starting from tomorrow, we will start preparing for a big campaign in the city. Tomorrow morning, Yingying will take the girls to promote according to the assigned positions. You all have to do that in Hangzhou
I've done it before, I won't go into details. You want to make the whole city aware of it, even if people sneer at it, or even disdain it, you have to let them know that a big theater in the outer city is about to open a show. Sister Danhong dispatched two painters to come out
, I will draw ten large posters tonight. The name of the play should not be so vulgar and changed to "The Story of a Butterfly". In short, the publicity campaign is as much as the play itself. Sometimes it depends on everyone knowing it, creating a good reputation.
The topic and popularity are used to attract attention. Don’t question any of my decisions, just follow them completely.”
Xie Yingying nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange it."
Guo Caiwei laughed from the side and said: "Lin Jue, I will also help you, don't you have enough manpower? Tomorrow I will send my people to promote it on the streets for you. Just let Miss Yingying teach them how to do it."
Lin Jue said with a smile: "That would be better, but the princess should not come forward, so as not to make other people make irresponsible remarks. However, after the premiere, the princess can brag about it in the circle of princes and nobles. If there is any
The praises from the emperor's relatives are more effective than our lip service. The common people will also follow suit."
The little princess rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk, even though I don't accept money, you still schemed against me."
