After a long time, he realized what he was doing and asked in surprise: "Gentlemen, is that drama really that good?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Li Er rubbed his temples and said: "In that case, the King of Shu is not guilty. Ke'er, please get up... Is it really you who did this?"
Li Ke glanced at Du He cautiously, not daring to reveal Du He's identity, so he nodded and said: "Father, I guarantee with my personality that I personally did everything. The construction of the Chang'an Grand Theater and the rehearsal of the drama were all done by me."
This is what I did with my own hands."
Li Er nodded: "Well, I understand... But don't lie. With your ability, you still want to come up with a drama? Do you think I am a fool? This matter was mostly Du He's idea.
The credit, that’s Du He’s credit too, what does it have to do with you!”
"ah……"
Li Ke's eyes widened.
What's going on?
When you ask questions, it's all mine!
When it comes to rewards, why does it become the teacher’s?
However, Li Ke has an open-minded temperament, so as long as he is not punished, it is good.
As for who gets the credit, it all belongs to Du He anyway.
Without Du He, there would be no Chang'an Grand Theater and there would not be two plays.
The most important thing is that without Du He's various performances in the court, Li Ke would not have been able to escape the fate of being punished today.
As long as the teacher is awesome, that’s it!
I saw Li Er waving his hand: "If nothing happens to your family, please retreat from the court. Du He and the King of Shu will stay."
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Du He and Li Ke in the hall.
Li Ke rubbed his hands excitedly and looked at Li Er: "Father, should you change your previous views now? In the past, you thought the drama arranged by Erchen was nonsense. Now, Erchen has proved to you that the drama is not
Nonsense is not useless. Drama can be as popular as storytelling!"
All he did was to prove to Li Er that the drama was not nonsense.
Li Er glanced at him speechlessly, then looked at Du He and asked: "Du He, is this play really as good as the ministers said? But that day when I saw Ke'er's performance, it was nothing more than that!
"
At that time, Li Er was indeed shocked.
But afterwards, I didn’t have any deep memories.
The key is that he believed in his heart that Li Ke was fooling around.
Li Kegang was about to explain anxiously, but Du He gave him a look.
Du He said calmly: "Father, if the saying "hearing is false and seeing is believing" is as good as what the ministers said, it is really hard for me to describe, and I dare not deceive you. Father, it is not as good as tomorrow.
If you go to the Chang'an Grand Theater, you will know that there will be a new performance tomorrow afternoon, and it will be the two plays "Beheading Ma Di with Tears" and "The Primitives."
Li Er thought for a while and nodded: "In that case, I will go to the Chang'an Grand Theater incognito tomorrow."
Li Ke said anxiously: "But, Father, all the tickets for tomorrow's performance are sold out..."
Du He: "..."
This silly boy.
Sure enough, Li Er frowned when he heard this.
Du He hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, the Chang'an Grand Theater is just like home. It is a great honor for your father to come here. Tickets are not a problem. You can just go directly tomorrow."
Li Er's brows relaxed.
He looked at Du He with satisfaction, then looked at Li Ke with disgust, and said with emotion: "Ke'er, I know you have important things to do one day, but since you are Du He's disciple, you should learn from Du He.
Learn how to be a human being, hey...you all, go down!"
He is also a smart man. Du He's words can make Li Er feel comfortable all over, but as soon as Li Ke opens his mouth, Li Er feels uncomfortable all over.
…
The next day.
The drama begins at Youshi.
Early in the morning, people were queuing up to enter the venue.
Most of the people who bought tickets this time were civil and military ministers and their families who had seen the play before.
These people have watched one before but found it unsatisfying, so here we go again.
But the Chang'an International Shopping Center Plaza was packed with people, all of whom came to watch the fun.
Who would have known that you can't see anything in a shopping mall, let alone a square, and the play is performed in a grand theater.
Among the crowd entering the venue, Li Er was also among them.
Wearing casual clothes, he stood with Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji and others.
Soon, the play started.
At first, Li Er had a disdainful look.
But when the real tiger appeared and Li Ke, the tribal chief, led his men to fight with the tiger, Li Er's heart was in his throat. At this moment, he was not a lofty emperor, but a father who cared about his son's safety.
Seeing the tiger being "beaten to death" and the primitive people winning, he, like the people around him, showed a happy smile.
It turns out that this is a drama.
What is presented in front of you seems to be real.
When the primitive people fought with the tiger, everyone was in a tense mood. When the primitive people won, everyone gradually became happy.
The same goes for the play about killing Ma Su with tears.
Wang Zhengsheng, the great storyteller, played Zhuge Liang to the point of perfection.
The show is over.
Backstage.
Li Ke asked happily: "Teacher, what do you think of my performance today?"
Du He praised: "Your Highness's acting skills have improved rapidly. If there is a best performance award in Datang, it must be you."
"Best Performance Award, what is this?" Li Ke asked with interest.
Du He thought for a while and said: "This is an honor, used to commend the person with the best acting skills in the world. Well, you can make a golden man out of pure gold, and select the person with the best acting skills once a year.
Received a statuette.”
"So, there is such an interesting thing?" Li Ke touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
At this moment, Li Er walked into the backstage.
He came to Li Ke and saw that Li Ke, who had not slept well for many days, had bloodshot eyes and lost a lot of weight, couldn't help but said: "Ke'er, you did a good job!"
"ah……"
Li Ke was stunned and didn't react for a while.
In the past, my father always scolded me!
Are you complimenting me today?
It’s still a bit unaccustomed to it!
Li Er continued: "Before, I did blame you wrongly. This play... I watched it, and it was very good! But, is it too dangerous to use a real tiger to perform? Also, I watched that tiger being killed alive.
If you beat me to death, what kind of performance will you use in the next show?"
"Ah ha ha ha..." Li Ke suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Father, even you have been deceived. In fact, the last performance was also the same tiger. This tiger was caught when I went into the mountains to hunt.
Yes, he was still a young tiger at that time. He was later raised in the camp of the Guancheng Brigade of Huxian County. After going back and forth, he was tamed and docile. He was allowed to do whatever he wanted. He was beaten to a bloody head on the stage.
Actually, it’s all pig blood…”
Li Er couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and asked in surprise: "Can a tiger be tamed?"
