Although the Twelve Rains may not be able to play the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, Zhang Shou feels that they, who have been in the dust for a long time, cannot play the innocence and romance of boys and girls in a deep house. On the contrary, if they are the ill-fated Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, they can
There is no doubt that he is acting in his true colors.
Zhang Kang's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he said with a smile: "Dr. Zhang, this story about a certain dynasty, is it a made-up story?"
"I really don't know if it's a fabrication or not. It was an old book that Lu Sanlang saw in a bookstore one day. It was probably a few years old. This was the only one he bought back." Seeing Lu Sanlang's cooperation, he said tacitly.
After nodding his head repeatedly, Zhang Shou chuckled and said, "Are there not many fabricated allusions and fabricated stories in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad?"
Zhang Kang laughed happily and said: "A story like Emperor Taizu's "Journey to the West" has to add a Tang Dynasty background to the story of gods and monsters; for example, Shi Naian wrote a mere water bandit during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty into Water Margin.
"For example, if Luo Guanzhong made up the story of Wei, Shu, and Wu, he could also write it into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which even Emperor Taizu was still talking about. Why don't you change the story of your certain dynasty to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Seeing that Zhang Kang clearly believed that he had made up the story, Zhang Shou did not say anything, and said with a noncommittal smile: "I have thought about what you said before, but I am afraid that people will say it is a random fabrication. Anyway, the world is making it up.
There are so many stories coming out, so let’s just change the certain dynasty in the original story to the late Song Dynasty, and change Nanjing to Lin’an.”
Zhang Shou glanced at Zhang Chen and other uninformed people with a smile, and then explained calmly: "Uncle Weinan hosted a banquet for me and Lu Sanlang here before, and also invited Twelve Rains to dance.
I was just thinking about it. It is said that apart from being good at dancing, many of the Twelve Rains are also good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, so they are famous in the capital. If they can perform on stage in their original appearance, I think it will be even more sensational."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chen and Zhu Er couldn't help but look at each other, and so did everyone else.
Tingyu Xiaozhu is firmly in the top spot among all the romantic places in the capital. Although Twelve Rains are very famous now, it has actually gone through several generations, and their nicknames have been used by their predecessors before. They cannot easily
Accompanying guests, while other pavilions and courtyards rely on quantity and quality to catch up, and they cannot be said to be the best in recent years.
If there is a new name, it would be quite tempting indeed.
But Zhang Wu, who only came to Tingyu Xiaozhu as a follower of Zhang Chen, still couldn't help but tactfully persuaded: "Sir, although Twelve Rains have their own talents, singing, poetry, calligraphy, painting, and dancing are not the same.
It’s the same... Besides, Tingyu Xiaozhu is too expensive and most people can’t afford it. I don’t think it’s easy to say that the already famous Twelve Rains are more famous than before.”
"It's not about letting them sing, but just like us sitting here talking, talking, not singing. Of course, stage skills are very important, and it doesn't mean they can act just by talking. There is no need to wear those fancy and complicated headgear and
The costumes have to make people see the character, which actually tests their school skills..."
Zhang Kang saw that Zhang Shou was explaining to others and had no time to pay attention to himself, so he winked at Wan Yuanbao on the side. Seeing that he quietly stepped back knowingly, obviously going to bring the girls over, he just sat there, patiently
He listened with great interest to Zhang Shou's explanation of the form of the so-called drama, and then began to tell everyone about the story of the Peach Blossom Fan.
"Youdao is the building outside the Qingshan Tower outside the mountain. When does the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and they call Hangzhou Bianzhou. Since the Southern Song Dynasty moved the capital, it only settled in a corner. In the last years, Mongolia rose and the Song Dynasty was destroyed.
Jin, but then sharpened his sword Huo Huo, intending to attack the Song Dynasty. At this time, the knowledgeable people in Lin'an City were naturally worried. "
Zhang Kang didn't expect that Zhang Shou would immediately change the previous story about the end of a certain dynasty to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. He didn't know that this Dr. Guozi was afraid that it was just that idea at first, but because of some concerns, such as fear
Some people say that he used the past to satirize the present and just changed it to the last years of a certain dynasty.
"As we all know, in the Song Dynasty, more than a thousand people could pass the imperial examination every three years, which was far better than the dozen or so in the Tang Dynasty. But there were more people who passed the examination, but the court did not need so many officials.
The result is that a large number of people have become redundant officials, and everyone has to wait for an official vacancy again and again, and new Jinshi who are not well-known have no idea how long they have to wait."
"In this year, the Mongolian soldiers and horses had already conquered the north and south, occupying countless territories. Yang Longyou held a banquet in the building outside the building beside the West Lake for his friend Hou Fangyu, who had been waiting in Lin'an for two years to be a candidate. At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra continued on the lake.
, Hou Fangyu cursed indignantly, "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." But at this moment, a Goulan lineman who went upstairs disdainfully sarcastically said, "There are more than just those who don't know the hatred of the country's subjugation."
Is she a businesswoman?"
At this moment, the Wan Yuanbao outside the door has attracted twelve rains. They know that the person coming inside is the prospective son-in-law of Zhao Guogong's mansion and Miss Zhu's wishful husband, even though they had already seen Zhang Shouna's handsome figure last time.
With their elegant appearance, Qingyu couldn't help but snort when she thought of Zhang Shou turning a blind eye to them, and Qingyu, who almost got into trouble because of his innuendo last time.
However, when he suddenly heard Zhang Shou's last words at this time, Qingyu was stunned, and so were the others. Living in the land of wind and moon, he had long been accustomed to forcing a smile, and swallowed all the tears and grievances in his stomach, but the most disappointing thing was
What people find heart-wrenching is the saying that a business woman does not know how to hate the country's subjugation.
Therefore, when they heard Zhang Shou continue talking inside, a self-respecting and self-loving Li Xiangjun jumped out, especially the blood-stained peach blossom fan, who was not afraid of the powerful and had the courage to refuse marriage, and only thought of Hou Fangyu wholeheartedly, they unknowingly,
Gradually it became crazy.
However, after all the hardships, the two reunited in the end, but Hou Fangyu had already fallen. Li Xiangjun was disheartened, angrily denounced his lover, and resolutely tore up the peach blossom fan that pledged their love, especially when Zhang Shou once again quoted the phrase "I don't know how to perish."
The most impulsive character, Qingyu, couldn't help but blurt out and praised her.
The next moment, she found that the room suddenly became quiet, and she immediately knew that she was in trouble again. Seeing that Feiyu, who had always been the best with her, immediately covered her behind her, for fear that someone would open the door and scold her, and see other companions or get angry.
Or glared at her angrily, and she could only lower her head with guilt. But the next moment, no one in the room made a sound to blame, but Zhang Shou's voice came again after a while.
"This is just Li Xiangjun, but at that time, other leaders also had their own merits."
Twelve Rains outside the room only listened to Zhang Shou's few words, describing Gu Hengbo who married a certain talented man but suffered a bad reputation after he surrendered, but he himself also became the wife of Gaoming; he married into a wealthy family and was left out in the cold, but when her husband was
Kou Baimen, who raised money for his escape after being captured, and then decided to break up with each other; Bian Yujing, who fell in love, but his lover did not accept it; Liu Rushi, who married a high-ranking official, threw herself into the water after the other party surrendered, but was rescued, and finally persuaded her husband to resign and live in seclusion...
…
One by one, stories about the journey to a brothel, stories about admitting a wrong lover, dreams about breaking up in love, or stories about the ancient Buddha at the Green Lantern flowed out from Zhang Shou's mouth. They couldn't help but feel dumbfounded as they listened, and had mixed feelings in their hearts.
From the Han and Tang dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, although there were legendary stories about promiscuous women like them, why were they so vivid and vivid?
In the room, Zhang Chen and others were just listening to Twelve Rain's acting for fun, but when Zhang Shouzhen told the story of seven or eight women in a serious manner, they couldn't help but become interested and had long forgotten
Just now someone outside called out for that little thing.
Lu Sanlang, who had just seen the scroll in Zhang Kang's hand, couldn't help shouting: "Although that book was originally interesting, it became more interesting after Mr. Xiao exaggerated it. I also read Beili back then.
"Zhi, Brothel Collection, and Jiaofang Zhi, although they seem to describe those famous prostitutes in a clear and logical manner, they are just a few words and a few jokes and emotions, how can they be so exciting?"
Zhang Chen couldn't help but said: "That's right, it really doesn't look like a fabrication!"
"The truth is also false when it is fake." Zhang Shou smiled, then patted the handrail and said, "It has been hundreds of years since the late Song Dynasty. Who knows if there were any more touching stories among the women in the market at that time than these stories? You don't have to
To say it is soul-stirring, in the final analysis, it just looks high-class, and I don’t know how much beautification has been added to it!”
Weinan Bo Zhang Kang finally got a taste of it, and he said with a smile: "Even if it just looks high-class, it is far better than those Zaju operas nowadays! If you don't believe me, ask Twelve Rains who have been listening to the corner for a long time.
, are they willing to play the roles you mentioned, Dr. Zhang?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open by Wan Yuanbao. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chen and others saw the fat, thin, and elegant Twelve Rains filing in. People like Lu Sanlang who relied on Zhang Kang's blessings often
People who come and go often can recognize everyone, but whether Zhang Chen, Zhu Er or others, they just feel that they can't take their eyes away.
But these twelve beauties, each with their own differences, all said in unison: "I am willing!"
Zhang Shouxiang knew that he would probably get such an answer, so he nodded with a smile and said: "The book is very short. I just added a lot of details casually to give a rough idea. If you are willing, you might as well choose a character by yourself.
, and then perfect the story in detail. Just remember that it needs to be styled, cautionary, and different from those stories about talented men and beautiful women spending time in front of the moon.”
"After the twelve stories are completed one by one and compared with each other, it can be rehearsed. This kind of opera is different from singing opera. It doesn't need to have beautiful singing, but to regard yourself as the character..."
Zhang Shou casually introduced some basic knowledge of Western drama performances to others, until Twelve Rain and others were stunned for a while, then he said with a smile: "I am still too busy with the affairs of the Imperial College.
But I can only give you an idea, and the rest is up to you. By the way, I just showed it to Uncle Weinan, and there is a random line, you might as well try it. Uncle Weinan, how about we take a step to talk?
?”
Zhang Kang saw that everyone in Twelve Rain had expressions of surprise and joy. It was clear that no one was unwilling, so he laughed loudly and said: "Since Dr. Zhang has shown you such a clear way, you can come
Let’s try and see who can perform the line about the Peach Blossom Fan well! Well, Lu San, you and Zhang Chen, Zhu Er and others will comment on who is the best! Dr. Zhang, let’s go out and talk!”
