Rebirth Starts From 2006

Chapter 659 Filial Piety

This time, the song is "Farewell My Concubine\

,"The babbling on the stage reached its climax, and people upstairs and downstairs applauded.

You can't clap blindly, and you can't shout randomly either.

Tou Lujiaoer, that is, the lead actor, when he appears on stage, he can be given a jackpot at this time.

And all old fans know that it must be given at this time. If there is no applause, the first corner will be discouraged, and the show will be half broken. Those on the stage can't sing and the audience can't watch, and it's over.

In the middle of the song, there is no applause or applause. The actor must sing a high-pitched tune, and the playing of the song changes from fast to slow and from high to low. The audience holds their breath, waiting for the last word of the long tune to fall, and the emotion is strong, naturally. will applaud,

These are based on singing skills.

Peking Opera has more than one skill: singing, singing, reading, and acting, and none of them should be ambiguous, especially since this is a classic play, and old fans are already familiar with it.

Whether the actors on the stage sing well or not, and whether their singing is charming or not, they all have an account in their hearts.

If the performance is good, they will never be stingy with applause. If something is missing, don't expect them to lift a finger.

It’s good if you don’t bully people into leaving, but don’t ask for too much!

Obviously, the actors in today's play are very good. The audience upstairs and downstairs were all fascinated.

Zou Rong looked at Jackson who was attentive, leaned over to Chen Yang, and whispered, "Can he really understand Peking Opera?"

Although there are reports in the news from time to time that foreign friends somewhere have a special liking for Beijing dramas, etc., but it is news. It is news when it is shown on TV. What kind of news is it in front of our eyes?

So when she saw Jackson watching the show with his eyes fixed on it, she felt particularly fresh.

"hey-hey,"

Chen Yang glanced at Jackson and said with a smile, "Look at Di Leo again."

Um?

Zou Rong turned her head when she heard the sound, and found that Di Leo was also lying on the railing, watching motionless. She couldn't help but feel strange, "They can really understand?"

If Jackson was able to immerse himself in opera because of music, what about DiLeo?

This fat man is not a musician, but he can still watch it, which shows that he is really attracted by this show.

Can foreigners understand Peking Opera?

How strange!

Chen Yang smiled and was about to explain,

At this time, Mr. Guan suddenly turned around, put one hand on the table, and laughed softly, "This Peking Opera can be watched or listened to. What you watch is the beating, what you listen to is the singing, but no matter which kind , all need to show some emotion,"

After a pause, he asked again, "Have you ever seen any Western opera?"

Zou Rong smiled awkwardly and shook her head slightly, "No."

Who in their right mind would go and see that thing!

Then he was a little curious, "Do you also go to the opera?"

She just heard the theater manager explain that this old man is actually the founder of Beijin Qinshu. In her mind, he is similar to the old man at home. How can such an old man also watch Western operas?

No matter how you think about it, it feels very inconsistent.

Chen Yang suddenly patted her hand gently and said in a pretentious tone, "You are right, can't Mr. Guan watch the opera?!"

Zou Rong stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and clasped her palms together to apologize to Mr. Guan.

"hehe,"

Mr. Guan didn't care either. This little girl showed no scheming at first glance. Compared with those who were polite and impeccable on the surface, she was more liked by old guys like him who had seen countless people.

Then he continued with a smile, "Many people don't like to watch operas. They think it's too sunny and distant from the lives of ordinary people.

In fact, this kind of art, whether it’s from a high-end artist or a humble person, as long as it’s a good work, it can impress people.

Because these people’s hearts are the same,

Just like this Western opera, many people don't understand Italian, but it doesn't prevent them from appreciating the emotions in it through the actors' performances and singing."

As he spoke, he tapped Jackson next to him with his chin and said, "For foreigners, the same principle applies when watching Peking Opera. It doesn't matter if you don't understand what is being sung. As long as you can feel the emotions and know where there is joy and where there is sorrow, then That’s enough, this is the charm of art!”

After listening to the old man's explanation, Zou Rong suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's it!"

Then he looked at the stage and nodded seriously, "Well, it does look good!"

Chen Yang's mouth twitched slightly and he curled his lips to show his contempt.

Haha, it does look good?

I almost dozed off just now!

Noticing her husband's eyes, Zou Rong immediately glared at him fiercely,

It means, I can’t understand it, can you understand it? !

Chen Yang chuckled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He turned to Mr. Guan and said, "What you said does make sense. I think back then, when I was only three or four years old, my grandmother took me to the theater in the town. Watch a play,

I didn't understand anything at that time, I couldn't understand a single word, but I still enjoyed watching it. I just thought the big painted face was particularly interesting.

Unfortunately,"

As he spoke, he sighed softly, "Later, in the market economy, everyone was busy making money, and the theaters also went bankrupt. When I went home for the Chinese New Year last time, my grandma was saying that she hadn't gone to the theater in years."

After saying that, he glanced at Zou Rong,

Zou Rong pouted beside her, fully understanding what her husband meant.

I am an old fan who has been going to the theater since I was three or four years old. How can I not understand Peking Opera? !

Mr. Guan didn't seem to notice the young couple's little actions at all. He looked at the stage below and said with a smile, "I heard that your family is quite rich?"

Although he didn't understand why Mr. Guan would ask this, Chen Yang still didn't mean to hide it. He smiled and nodded, "It's a bit low birth weight."

"hey-hey,"

Mr. Guan smiled, then pointed to the audience and said, "When the Huguang Guild Hall first opened, the theater troupes here were supported by the guild hall itself.

It should be said that the big theater troupes in the early years all had their own sponsors. Otherwise, life would not be easy. "

Hearing this, Chen Yang understood what Mr. Guan meant. He smiled shyly, "This is a new era. It's not appropriate to support the troupe anymore!"

"Hi,"

Mr. Guan laughed, pointed at him, and said, "You are so smart that you are confused for a moment! It is indeed not appropriate to support a theater troupe, but if you run a theater performance company, it is over.

You can watch it if you want to, and when you don’t want to watch it, you can go out and perform,”

After a pause, he smiled meaningfully and said, "It's just this thing. It's relatively expensive. Even if you hire a small theater troupe, if you can still see it, if you don't spend 1.8 million a year on it, you can only support it." Don’t stop!”

Chen Yang grinned and said nothing. Mr. Guan didn't care and continued to watch the show.

Anyway, just chatting casually, he didn't think that Boss Chen would really raise any theater troupe.

It costs a lot of money to maintain a theater troupe. The better costumes are not cheap, as well as various props and makeup, actors' welfare subsidies, and medicines for injuries and illnesses. Everything costs money.

He said that he would net 1.8 million yuan a year, which is not an exaggeration at all.

This is 1.8 million yuan in 2008, which is enough to buy a good house in the 49th city. Just to support a theater troupe, you can buy a house in a year?

And if you spend money, there is almost no possibility of getting it back.

These days, not many people are willing to spend money to go to the theater. Most of the acupoint theater troupes that were once popular in the 1990s have disappeared in the tide of the times. It has nothing to do with the fact that they can't make money later.

Nowadays, except for those theater troupes that rely on the system, private theaters are almost hard to find.

Nowadays, TV sets have entered thousands of households. Not only are theaters no longer in demand, but even good actors can no longer be found.

I think back then, there were many martial arts masters who dared to jump directly from Table Mountain, which was several meters high. Now I want to find a few more.

It’s difficult!

Under such circumstances, if you dare to invest money in it, most people really can't do it.

Rice dumplings

but,

Just when Mr. Guan was sighing secretly, Boss Chen was moved.

He placed his fingers on his legs and tapped lightly, thinking silently in his mind.

It is definitely impossible to support a theater troupe just for yourself. Even if you can afford it, you can't do it.

But if you build a theater and hire an outside troupe to perform, it doesn't seem to cost a lot of money, and it's not eye-catching.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not, the main thing is that it allows grandma to watch a show every day.

Although there is also an opera channel on TV, which plays classic dramas all day long, there is a huge difference between watching a drama through a screen and watching it live.

Do you clap and cheer when watching TV?

But you will know it when you go to the theater!

And the atmosphere of watching a show live...

Boss Chen leaned back on his chair and looked around. Well, this kind of garden is quite nice!

Thinking of this, he asked for the mobile phone from Zou Rong, found Dai Shouliang's phone number, and sent him a message.

"Mr. Dai, please arrange with Xijiang Hengli Company to acquire a piece of land in the center of Nanjiang Town and build a theater."

Dai Shouliang said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, how big should we build? Is it enough for 5,000 people, or 10,000 people?"

Chen Yang blinked, five thousand people, or ten thousand people?

You really think highly of Nanjiang Town!

Then he typed, "Don't make it too big. Take a look at the large stage of Huguang Guild Hall in Beijin. It can accommodate two to three hundred people. The seating arrangement can be wider."

After thinking for a moment, he continued typing,

"Please ask the design institute to design a few more stages. The main stage will be used to perform plays, and other small stages can be used to perform other small local plays. Then build a teahouse and restaurant to make it a theater cultural center."

In addition to Peking Opera, my grandmother loves almost all other local operas.

Like fish drum story telling, flower drum opera, allegro, shadow puppet show, etc., as long as it is a traditional opera performed live, there is no one that the elderly will not like to watch.

When the theater is built, we will invite all the theater troupes or artists over. Grandma will watch whichever one she wants. This will make her look like a wealthy family!

Dai Shouliang said, "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."

He put down his phone and threw aside the documents in his hand.

No matter how big the project is, it's not as important as the boss's project. And look at the location, it's Nanjiang Town, and look at the project, it's a theater!

Nothing to say,

If the boss hadn't built it specifically for grandma, he could have dug his own eyeballs out.

Therefore, we must treat it with the highest attitude. The design, land acquisition, and leveling are carried out simultaneously. If it is quick, it can be completed in one month, and it will wait for another month or two. At the same time, we will go to the theater troupe, and let the boss grandma do it during the Chinese New Year. You can watch a show, the time is just right!

Chen Yang turned off the screen and handed it to Zou Rong.

Zou Rong put away her phone and asked, "You don't really want people to set up a drama company, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Guan couldn't help but turn his head and look at Chen Yang without blinking.

I just said it casually. Is it possible that this young man is really so heroic?

Chen Yang laughed, glanced at Mr. Guan first, and then said, "No, I just want someone to build a theater in Nanjiang. Doesn't grandma like to watch theater? Once the theater is built, I will invite you three hundred and sixty-five days a year." The troupe goes over to perform, and she can act whatever she wants.”

Before Zou Rong could say anything, Mr. Guan gave a thumbs up and said seriously,

"Well, this is good! Especially the filial piety is commendable!"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands to show approval.

I heard from people around me that this young man didn't care much about how big his company was or how much money he had. Anyway, no matter how rich you are, it's still yours. You won't give me a dime, so why bother following others' trends?

But just because of his own joke, he was able to build a theater for his grandmother. For this filial piety alone, this young man would be great!

Chen Yang smiled and saluted back, and was about to speak when a burst of thunderous applause suddenly broke out.

Looking around, I saw all the audience upstairs and downstairs applauding with their hands raised, and the actors on the stage also stood in a row and bowed to the audience in thanks.

It turns out that the play just happened to be over.

Among the people applauding in the audience, there are two people who are very conspicuous. You don't need to guess, they are Jackson and DiLeo.

Because everyone else was sitting, only the two of them were standing.

Moreover, all the attention of these two people was attracted by the actors on the stage, and they did not even see the eyes of other boxes on the second floor looking at them.

They even took off their hats and masks to show respect for the actors.

Come on, I can’t hide it anymore!

So amidst the cheers of the whole hall, bursts of clicking sounds suddenly sounded from the second floor.

That's the sound of cameras and mobile phones taking pictures,

Thanks to Boss Chen for launching Weibo in advance, and thanking Boss Chen for launching the smartphone craze in advance.

So two minutes later, a Weibo post posted by an ordinary user was accurately targeted and recommended by the Weibo backend, and then suddenly entered the hot list.

# Jackson is at the Huguang Guild Hall! ! ! #

Chen Yang looked at the Weibo feed on his phone and curled his lips disdainfully, "It doesn't even have a predicate. If it were me posting it, I would definitely add the key word, 'now'!"

Shen Youshun wiped away his cold sweat, walked up to him and said, "Boss, stop being picky. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

The theater manager also looked frightened, "Mr. Chen, it's not a good time to stay here for a long time. Call Jackson and follow me!"

Chen Yang glanced at him and sighed helplessly, "Manager, if you don't smile now, I will definitely understand your feelings better!"

The theater manager tried hard to suppress his smile, but he couldn't hold it back.

Oops, five million dollars in advertising is not enough for today’s episode!

These relatives and friends are so inspiring!

If it weren't for Boss Chen's presence, he would have really wanted to immediately offer a full-year package to the regular customers on the second floor. Beijin Huguang Guild Hall has become famous all over the country, and they have a share of the credit!

When the flash came on, Jackson didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw that the flash was directed at him,

Looking again, the actors upstairs and downstairs, including the actors on the stage, were looking at me blankly, and I immediately realized that I was exposed.

Seeing the situation in front of him, DiLeo was even more nervous than he was. He turned around and was about to drag Jackson away.

At this time, Chen Yang also pulled Zou Rong and prepared to escape, but when he saw Mr. Guan sitting on the ground, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, "Mr. Guan, do you have a magic trick?!"

Mr. Guan laughed, stood up and walked to the edge of the box, raised his hands and said, "Everyone, everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

As expected of a qinshu singer, that voice is so loud!

Everyone upstairs and downstairs looked at him eagerly. Jackson and Di Leo temporarily calmed down under Shen Youshun's translation and explanation.

Mr. Guan put down his hand, held on to the railing and said, "Those who come here to watch the theater are all old fans. We can't let outsiders see the jokes of our fans."

Hearing this, everyone nodded unconsciously, and some people yelled, "Master Guan, if you have something to say, say it directly, and we will do it!"

Mr. Guan cupped his hands in the direction of the voice and said with a smile, "Mr. Jackson has traveled thousands of miles to come here as a guest. We have to treat him with courtesy. When people come to the Huguang Guild Hall to watch a show, they think highly of us. I have to let them know how they came. How to get out?

If we can't do anything else, it's okay for us to use cover, right? ! "

Another person shouted with a smile, "Master Guan just gives orders!"

It would be even more perfect if he could put down his cell phone when he said this.

Mr. Guan waved his hand, "Okay, listen to me."

Then he looked at the theater manager and said, "Open all the doors later. Everyone will gather at the door first. Just wait for the doors to open and then rush out."

Then he looked at Chen Yang and said with a smile, "As for everyone, please follow me!"

Seeing Chen Yang nodding, he cupped his hands and pushed out the door first.
