After watching the three dogs go away, Li Zhien asked: "Master, what I just heard about rhinoceros and elephant, what is that thing?"
"Have you never seen rhinos and elephants?" Li Mu decided that she was stupid after saying this. In this era, there was no Internet or zoo. Li Zhien was from Goguryeo, and rhinos and elephants were all in the south. She could see ghosts there.
Already.
Li Zhien shook his head in confusion, and Li Mu laughed and said, "Okay, I will take you to see it another day when I have time. Just don't be scared. The rhinoceros has a horn on its head, which is extremely powerful and can pierce people. It has a bad temper."
Elephants have long trunks and are very strong. But elephants are very docile and smart. Then you can ride the elephant."
"Long nose? What does that look like?" There was no trace of an elephant in Li Zhien's mind. He really couldn't imagine what it looked like. After Li Mu said this, he was already full of expectations and couldn't wait for tomorrow.
It was coming soon. She glanced at Li Mu and said strangely: "Master, how do you know so much? Have you ever seen an elephant?"
Li Mu thought to himself, asking me if I have ever seen an elephant? Not only have I seen it, I also have a small elephant trunk that is the same as an elephant's trunk. Haven't you seen it before, and you still ask? But such unserious words are actually saying
Without saying anything, Li Mu chuckled and said, "I've seen him somewhere before. I heard that from Prince Zhenla. Come to think of it, he wouldn't dare to lie to me. I'll know if it's true or false when I see him another day."
"Really?" Li Zhien became more and more suspicious when she saw Li Mu's weird smile, but she couldn't figure it out. Li Mu changed the subject, so she didn't ask further questions and just muddled through it.
Dugujiu has been busy with the arena competition. Li Mu has no coachman, so he has to give up riding in the car and ride on horseback. Although it is not so comfortable, the efficiency is much faster. He went to the palace to bring the Ashina brothers
The "petition" I wrote was handed over to Li Shimin, and it only took an hour to come and go.
When he returned home, it was already dusk. Li Mu came back from the backyard and took a look at the front yard. Bai Qiaoqiao and four maids were counting goods, and Li Zhien was settling accounts. Li Mu suddenly felt a little lonely.
When the arena started, the two followers, Li Siwen and Dugujiu, disappeared. Changsun Chong was busy training those dudes, while Tang Guan was squatting at home writing novels for Datang Daily to serialize. It seemed that everyone had something serious to do, so...
I am the only one who feels so free.
Li Mu fell on the rocking chair and thought about what he had to do.
Originally, his plan for this period of time was to deal with the Turkic people. But this incident happened and it was resolved in advance. It seemed that there was nothing left to do. Li Mu thought and thought, and finally remembered something he had forgotten.
thing.
The drama at Li Chun Yuan has not been scheduled yet.
I just happened to take advantage of the free time these days to do something about this matter.
What kind of play are you planning?
The first play, especially for the Tang Dynasty, is a new form of performance, and it must be an instant hit. Although Li Mu has watched many movies and TV series, he has to find one that can become an instant hit.
It's not that easy for him, after all, he's not a professional at this.
Arrange an excerpt from Dream of Red Mansions?
It's not impossible, but Dream of Red Mansions has almost been serialized now. The excerpts are a bit fresh, and the love affairs don't have much tension. As for dramas, the length is limited, and it has to be within a limited time.
It needs to reflect the huge conflict and allow the audience to immerse themselves in it.
What drama can have such power and be able to arouse the emotions of most people?
"Well..."
Li Mu stood up, picked up the pen, and wrote three words on the paper.
Dou E is wronged!
…
"Hey, have you heard about it? Zhuluhou bought half of Pingkangfang, but it wasn't to open a kiln. What kind of theater is it? What kind of place is this? Sister kiln has become a good person?"
"Where did you get the news? What kind of kiln sister? I want Zhuluhou to hear it and tear your mouth apart. Do you know that the girls in Lichun Courtyard are all people who used to be in Jiaofang Si Palace?
She is a pure and innocent girl. Her parents broke the law and were sent to the Jiaofang Department because of their crimes. She might have been a lady in the past."
"Brother knows so much, does he know what a theater is?"
"Where do you know where to go? If I can make you guess what Zhuluhou does, wouldn't you be Zhuluhou?"
In the past few days, there have been a lot of discussions like this in Chang'an City. I don't know where the news originated from, but almost everyone in Chang'an City knows that this is happening. Some people who are very curious even come here specially
Pingkangfang wanted to find out what was going on. But no one could enter Lichun Courtyard, so they were chased away by the vicious idlers at the door.
I could only hear someone talking inside, and I couldn't hear anything clearly.
Only a few people are qualified to enter inside.
Tang Guan is one of them. As the number one writer of Datang Daily, after hearing such interesting things, how could Tang Guan sit still. He brought a pen and paper with him and planned to take a look at what was going on.
I continued to rush to write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dream of Red Mansions, but within half a day, I forgot about the manuscript and devoted myself to rehearsing the drama.
Not only did he help with the work, he also had to play a role. There are several main characters in Dou E's Enemy: Dou E, Cai Po, and Zhang Lu'er. The first two are women. Zhang Lu'er is a man, but he is nothing.
Good guy. Tang Guanxuan was chosen a lot, and he played the role of Granny Cai's son. Although he didn't have many lines, he was still a good guy, and he could enjoy the movie. Whenever it was time to film, he would lie on the bed and pretend to have tuberculosis. The main thing
The performance was out of breath, coughing and dying, but even so, he never tired of it.
The play "The Injustice of Dou E" mainly tells this story.
Dou E's father, Dou Tianzhang, was a poor scholar and lacked the means to go to Beijing to take the exam, so he sold Dou E, who was only seven years old, to her neighbor Cai's family as a child bride. Dou E married Cai's son at the age of seventeen, but within two years of their marriage, her husband
He fell ill and died, leaving only Dou E and her mother-in-law to depend on each other.
The imperial examination is coming soon, and anything related to the imperial examination can attract people's attention. In the words of Li Mu's previous life, this is equivalent to gaining popularity.
The little widow is quite handsome, so she naturally attracts bees and butterflies. There is a gangster named Zhang Lu'er, and his father is Zhang Lao'er. Zhang Lao'er's wife died, and Zhang Lu'er is a bachelor, so the two of them fall in love with her.
He married the Cai family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and bullied them into living together in the Cai family. Zhang Luer forced Cai Po to marry Zhang Laoer, but Cai Po was weak and fearful, so she had no choice but to agree. Zhang Luer also forced Dou E to marry him.
, Cai Po also advised Dou E to marry, but Dou E disagreed and even scolded Zhang Luer.
This image suddenly became three-dimensional. It was miserable enough for the husband to die. It was even more miserable for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to depend on each other. Being forced into the house by the gangsters was already the worst misfortune. At this moment, the mother-in-law retaliated and Dou
E'e suddenly became miserable.
For people from the Tang Dynasty who have never seen a drama, it is obvious that everyone has the same hatred and hatred when the play is performed here. In this way, doesn't the emotion arouse?
But acting, acting is only one part, the key is to be a good actor. Dou E already has a candidate, and it must be Jin Chen. But this gangster Zhang Luer, shameless Zhang Laoer, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and in turn bullies her daughter-in-law, Cai Po
, you have to find a suitable candidate, otherwise the essence of the play will not be realized.
"My father-in-law, please relax. A play is just a play. Isn't it because you are my father-in-law? If someone else were to kneel down and beg me, could I let him act? This is
What a great thing. Once this play is released, it will cause a sensation in the whole city! Then people will have to ask, who is playing the role of Mr. Zhang? After asking a little bit, they will know that it is you. How much publicity is this?
.At that time, what will Jingdong Ji have to worry about? Everything has to be people, and everything in your grocery store will be sold out. It’s all money, my father-in-law!"
Bai Nao'er looked embarrassed and sighed: "I, I, I'm fine, but my mother-in-law, she doesn't know a single word, how can she act well?"
"Just keep your mind at ease and act like you are. The role of Granny Cai is exactly the same as my step-mother-in-law. Granny Cai was mean to Dou E, so wasn't my step-mother-in-law also mean to my wife? What do you want to say?
She forgot how she was mean, then I would be really upset. Father-in-law, it would be terrible if I got upset."
"..." Bai Nao'er finally understood that it would be impossible if he didn't act, so he had to accept his fate and took over these two roles with his mother-in-law. Li Mu specially found two literate people and taught them the lines one by one, then turned around and watched again
To Ergou.
"Hey, Ergou, I heard you once said that my father-in-law and I are like father and son. Is this true?"
"Uh..." Ergou grinned, cursing secretly in his heart. What bastard was talking nonsense after drinking, and which bastard got it into the ears of the Marquis. He didn't dare to deny it, and he understood what Li Mu meant. He didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly said: "Hou
It doesn’t matter how I arrange it, if you ask me to play a gangster, then I will be a gangster.”
"You were originally an idle man, but looking like you, you didn't do well in the past. You go to the market and learn how to be a scoundrel, and how to be a scoundrel. Do you understand?"
"Understood, haven't you ever eaten pork and seen pigs running away? Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, the villain will definitely deserve to be beaten as much as he wants!"
Tang Guan listened for a long time and asked: "Brother, we have the main roles, but there are still two left. Zheng Dalu, the prefect of Qizhou, and Dou Tianzhang, do you have anyone in mind?"
He was originally the prefect of Chuzhou, but was changed to the prefect of Qizhou by Li Mu because Qizhou was on the border of Shandong. Li Mu wanted to hint at the Shandong gentry. For this reason, he also changed the name of the prefect to Zheng Dalu, just to disgust the Shandong gentry.
A handful.
"Dou Tianzhang can let my concierge Zhao Youcai play the role. He has worked as a master before, and he has a bit of ink in his belly. He looks like a scholar. As for the prefect, he doesn't have many lines anyway, so I can just find a musician to do it.
, just like that."
"Okay, then I'll choose someone!"
Tang Guanle was stunned, and Li Mu smiled speechlessly. Being an assistant director for him was quite serious and responsible.
"Cheer up, everyone, and try again in half an hour!"
