Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 138 "Romance of the West Chamber"

There are also singers, dancers, and music girls in the East Palace, but there are not many of them. There are only 20 people in total.

They have nothing to do on weekdays, they just practice singing and dancing on their own.

Li Yun and the former Li Chengqian are not fans of this field, so they are especially leisurely.

Today Li Yun came to the door, and seeing his incomparably handsome appearance, many women were moved and rushed to show themselves.

Li Yun smiled lightly: "Girls, I came here to ask you to help me complete an opera. This is a new idea of ​​mine. How about helping me perform it?"

At this time, there were actually shadow puppet shows, but there was no such thing as real people acting, so the girls didn't quite understand it.

Li Yun explained it several times, and finally let the girls understand what it meant.

"Your Highness, can we also act?"

"Yes, we have three days to rehearse. Nuo, here is the script. The play is called "The Romance of the West Chamber."

Li Yun promised Wei Wanyu that he would show her a good play, so naturally he had to prepare carefully. Anyway, he has nothing to do recently, so he planned to rehearse the opera well.

Winter will come soon, maybe he can also use this to relieve the boredom of Empress Changsun.

But after all, it is a pioneering innovation. Although these singers and dancers have foundations, this is the first time they are acting.

Letting them sing and dance is actually not a problem. The biggest problem is that they are not good at managing expressions.

This is also a problem in the film and television schools of later generations. Not everyone majoring in film and television can express emotions correctly.

It is said that crying scenes are actually the most basic, because it is more difficult to make you laugh or be sad just to shed tears.

Because although humans have a lot of facial expressions, there is not much difference between smiling and sad.

Therefore, some traffic is obvious, and they are obviously acting sad expressions, but they seem to be smiling.

Some people are obviously laughing, but they look like they are crying.

In this regard, Li Yun had no choice but to pick out talented women.

Fortunately, there are not many characters in The West Chamber, so he can easily pick enough suitable people.

Just like that, The Story of the West Chamber began to practice in the East Palace, and three days later, this grass-roots team was considered to be in good shape.

These singers and dancers are rejuvenated because Li Yun gave them a lot of rewards.

……

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully clocking in, and reward the host's professional primary drama production ability."

A torrent of information poured into Li Yun's brain, and he stood there for half an hour before he fully accepted it.

He has finally stepped into the professional level, and he has a deeper understanding of opera.

I also learned more about the opera scripts of various periods.

An hour later, Wei Wanyu and Xiaochan came to the East Palace, and Li Yun then led them to the opera stage.

Then he clapped his hands, "Let's get started."

A lot of court ladies and eunuchs nearby saw it and gathered around. They had watched Li Yun and his rehearsals before. Although they didn't quite understand the magic of it, they still thought it was very fresh and beautiful.

Li Yun laughed, but did not drive away the eunuchs and maids.

After a while, the stage screen of the opera above slowly opened, revealing a young and beautiful woman, three men dressed as soldiers, and a few dilapidated tables.

These three soldiers are naturally women disguised as men, and this scene is actually performed by women.

Because there are no other men in the East Palace except Li Yun, soldiers, and some officials of the East Palace.

It is impossible for Li Yun to let outside men enter the East Palace, nor is it possible for soldiers to act.

Otherwise, the officials will definitely say him, so just like some operas in later generations, they will be performed by women in a reverse way.

Then the woman introduced her background and the situation in front of her by singing.

Wei Wanyu and Xiaochan immediately listened to it. It is rare to see and listen to such a program, and it is easy to get people into the drama.

Those eunuchs and court ladies were also fascinated, the originally noisy audience was much quieter at this moment.

Then it was the soldiers' turn to play, and they threatened the women, because the lines were simple, so they didn't need to sing, they just said it.

Li Yun borrowed the characteristics of later generations of Peking Opera, and let these soldiers draw knives while talking, and even performed a few threatening gestures.

These few people are dancers, they dance vigorously, and they are very beautiful when they play weapons.

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.

Later, the heroine Cui Yingying was coerced by the big villain Sun Feihu, and the audience couldn't help but scold Sun Feihu for being shameless.

This Story of the West Chamber also has several long sections. The first large section is performed when Zhang Sheng rescues Cui Yingying.

Half an hour has passed by now.

The actors on the stage need to take a break, and the people off the stage also need to rest.

Li Yun led Wei Wanyu to the backstage to encourage these actors, and then took Wei Wanyu to his Mingde Hall.

As for Xiaochan, she was so excited just now, she was sent by Li Yun to find something to eat, and after a while, Xiaochan wanted to watch a play while eating.

Li Yun looked at Wei Wanyu with a smirk, "My lady, how about it, the opera I arranged for you is good."

Wei Wanyu blushed, she was still not used to Li Yun's fiery gaze.

At this moment, Li Yun leaned over, followed by a burst of French gestures, until Wei Wanyu was out of breath, and then he let go.

Wei Wanyu rolled her eyes at Li Yun, pretending to be angry, and ignored Li Yun.

He smiled lightly and told Wei Wanyu that Li Shimin asked him if he wanted to get married early.

"Why, why don't we get married this month, I really can't bear it anymore."

"Hey, don't tell me this."

Wei Wanyu then covered her mouth and smiled, "There are so many beautiful women in the Eastern Palace, if you can't help it, someone will recommend themselves as a pillow."

Li Yun waved his hand, "That won't work, my first time must be left to you."

Although what Li Yun said was vulgar, Wei Wanyu was still very happy. She snorted softly, "Then you...then you can bear with it. Let's get married next year. My family has notified relatives and friends, and it is agreed next year."

Li Yun paused for a moment, then asked: "Do you have many relatives in your family? Do you still have some from other places?"

"There are some."

Li Yun nodded, and then said with a smile: "Where can so many relatives from other places live in your house, it's not as good as me..."

"That won't work, my dad won't agree, he won't ask for a reward from His Majesty."

"Your father can't do it, but I can ask my father to give it to you. It's settled like this. I can't let your relatives underestimate you."

Wei Wanyu was happy to see that Li Yun was thinking of her.

"Let's take a look again."

"Well, it's not good to reward you, but your eldest brother is the future uncle, so why not reward your brother."

For some people, being good to them is not as good as being good to their family.

Wei Wanyu is this one, Li Yun remembers her family, she is even more happy.
