Chapter 139 Liang Zhu
Ah Cai discovered that these ancient people did not know how to appreciate the pop music thousands of years later.
For example, her favorite song is Liang Jingru's "Courage", and the Korean version of "Dae Jang Geum"...
Oh, yes, and "Hawthorn Pear",
Whenever she needed an audience for a rehearsal, the people in the mansion were always busy.
Either I have to go out or I have something urgent...,
Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons.
Soon, Ah Cai understood.
Do you think I don’t know what’s going on with you?
You are so out of date. You simply cannot feel the charm of pop music from a thousand years later, so you choose to escape.
That’s all! That’s all! Art has its own time barriers.
For example, bell-bottom pants and platform shoes were once popular, but now no one wears them anymore.
The appreciation of art cannot be forced.
Since these people are so lousy, I will write a lousy script.
【Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai】
A love story of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
Lou enough, right?
She started writing the script right away and it took her five days to finish it.
She felt that the scene of "Yingtai crying at the grave" was the most exciting part of the whole play. Yingtai knew Shanbo was dead, and she got on the bridal sedan desperately. When she passed Shanbo's grave, she threw herself in front of it without hesitation...
What a sad love story!
It makes me sad just thinking about it!
It is difficult for lovers to become husband and wife, so the only way is to fight against this evil feudal marriage with death!
Oh so so so so touching!
After the wonderful script is written, it is time to start casting.
I will definitely play Zhu Yingtai myself. Other celebrities become directors after they become good actors, but I am a combination of actor and director.
What a genius I am!
Ah Cai thought with emotion...
……
……
In the square of Chengshi Industrial College, a large banner was hung, which read "The Butterfly Lovers" live casting meeting.
Their beloved head teacher Cai made a rare appearance at the scene, surrounded by students, all of whom were whispering.
At this time, Teacher Cai spoke.
"Classmates,"
"In order to enrich everyone's cultural and entertainment life, I specially wrote a play called "Liang Zhu", which tells the tragic love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai."
"I will play the leading female role in this play, and the rest of the actors will be selected from among you."
"We are selecting actors here today. We welcome all students to participate."
"applaud,"
Ah Cai led the applause, and the others followed suit.
However, Teacher Cai has always been an unattainable academic peak in the students' minds. How could they perform on the same stage with her?
This... this feeling of oppression is too strong, right?
Besides, we are all students, how can we perform a drama?
The students were all thinking.
Seeing that they were all watching but no one came up to audition, Ah Cai said, "Don't be shy, be brave enough to try new things. If you don't try, how do you know if you can't do it?"
But still no one came forward, Dongmei whispered to Ah Cai, "Madam, could it be that we don't have a reward? Wouldn't it be better if there was a reward? A big reward will always bring out brave men!"
Ah Cai rolled her eyes at Dong Mei.
"cut!"
"You think we're fighting for our lives?"
"This is art. You need to have a genuine passion for it to perform well. You must be prepared to sacrifice for art!"
But soon, she said loudly to the students, "Students, we will let the audience vote for the gold, silver and bronze best actor awards for this drama performance."
"The winning actors will receive a trophy made of pure gold, silver or bronze, and a silver note ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 taels..."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar!
These rewards were wealth that ordinary people could never earn in their entire lives, so students immediately rushed to sign up.
Dongmei frowned and looked at Ah Cai.
Ah Cai said to her seriously, "It is true that art requires a spirit of sacrifice."
“But material rewards are also essential!”
Dongmei: ...
……
This month, the residents of Bianjing City had another big treat.
Cheng Acai, the favorite wife of Marquis Zhongyong, wants to learn how to act and perform for free to the public. Anyone who participates in the lottery and draws a ticket can enter and watch.
This is such a sensation!
Cheng Acai has always been synonymous with heresy, and any gossip about her would make people jaw-dropping. Now what?
You have to know that actors are third-rate characters. How could she, a lady of noble title, show herself in public and learn to sing from actors?
What is even more unbelievable is that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was allowed to act so recklessly by her?
On the day of the lottery, there were huge crowds of people.
Who wouldn’t want to go in and watch the famous Cheng Acai perform?
But only a few people can win the lottery, and some people who don't win the lottery still want to bid for these tickets.
Soon, these originally free tickets were sold at sky-high prices.
The day of the performance is coming soon!
A huge banner was hung above the largest Xingxing Theater in Bianjing City, with the two big words "Butterfly Lovers" written on it. Next to it was a large colorful poster with a picture of a man and a woman, and countless butterflies surrounding them.
There were crowds of people at the entrance, and the audience lined up to enter.
Half an hour later, all the audience took their seats.
When all the lights in the theater went out and the curtain on the stage slowly rose,
The audience was surprised to find that there were countless self-luminous glass lamps on the stage ceiling, illuminating the entire stage as if it were daytime, and the scenery arranged on it could be seen clearly.
This stage lighting effect took Acai a lot of thought.
She had a lot of transparent glass bottles made, and then fixed them on the stage ceiling, with half of them exposed outside and half inside, and then filled them with water.
This is the time of day when the sun is shining brightly at noon. When the sunlight passes through the water part of the bottle, it is refracted and diffused, thus directing the sunlight into the room, creating a lighting effect similar to that of a light bulb.
Seeing this novel stage effect, the audience couldn't help but have some expectations for the show.
……
"Daddy~"
"My daughter is going to Hangzhou to study,"
"Nonsense! My Zhu family is a prestigious family. How can a lady like you show up in public and study with a group of men?"
On the stage, the scene "Yingtai Goes Out" was being performed, with Ah Cai playing Zhu Yingtai and Mr. Zhu, who looked like a wealthy man.
"Dad, reading can increase your wisdom and understanding,"
"Don't you want your daughter to be well-educated and well-mannered?"
"Yingtai,"
"Daddy wants you to be well-educated and well-mannered. I am just worried about you. If you were a man, Daddy would definitely let you go."
……
Although the play "Yingtai Goes Out" is all in plain language and there is no singing like in ordinary dramas, it wins in terms of novel lighting and scenes, and the actors' costumes are very gorgeous.
In particular, the heroine is dressed in jewels, which highlights that Zhu Yingtai is a noble lady.
For this show, Acai even wore all the museum's most valuable jewels.
The performance at the beginning was quite satisfactory and the audience was quite satisfied with it.
But as we watched, we discovered that this Zhu Yingtai...
Why do you act like a female tyrant?
There is not a trace of the gentleness and grace of a lady from a noble family.
For example, she and Liang Shanbo had no intersection at the beginning. It was when Liang Shanbo suffered from school bullying that she stood up and beat the bully away, which earned her love.
For example, when the Zhu family and the Liang family were getting married, the Ma family went to the Zhu family to propose marriage. When Yingtai found out that she was going to marry Ma Wencai, she went to Ma Wencai and asked him to cancel the engagement. However, Ma Wencai said that it was his parents' order and he could not make the decision. Yingtai said, "Then I will beat you until you can make the decision." Then she raised her fist and beat Ma Wencai until his nose and face were swollen...
These plays completely shattered the audience's worldview.
The Cheng family sat in the VIP box, and all of them looked at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu said very embarrassedly,
"Play yourself, play yourself,"
He has been busy with railway affairs in Yanjing and only came back today.
This was also the first time he watched the Liang Zhu performance.
If he had known about these plots earlier, he might have made some reasonable suggestions.
