Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 123

After dealing with the enrollment expansion of the "Lou Opera Troupe" in the morning, in the afternoon, Shen Yuelou immediately went to visit Mr. Chen Lianyuan, a master of storytelling, whom he had just met not long ago.

There is no way, after the disaster relief charity performance, life is as usual.

Except for a two-day break on weekends, on weekdays, he mostly studies foreign languages, court etiquette, and equestrian sports under the arrangement of the crew of "The Last Emperor".

How much money is paid and how many things are done, the salary of 500 million Chinese yuan is really not so easy to get!
Fortunately, learning these skills will benefit you throughout your life, and Shen Yuelou never gets tired of it when he devotes himself to learning.

Chen Lianyuan lives in Tongjing Hutong, Beicheng, and Shen Yuelou is not familiar with this land. After getting off the car, he searched for a while before he found the house number of Chen's house.

"Haha, Boss Shen is here.

Today's distinguished guests are here, my small courtyard is really full of splendor. "

"Hehe, I came here uninvited, I'm bothering you."

The two exchanged pleasantries in front of the door, and Chen Lianyuan immediately invited Shen Yuelou into his small courtyard.

Chen Lianyuan was quite surprised by Shen Yuelou's visit.

Boss Shen and I just met twice in a hurry at the disaster relief charity performance, had a general conversation, and had nothing else to do with each other. How could he come to visit me on purpose?
Could it be that Boss Shen wants to find me something?
Even though he was full of doubts, Chen Lianyuan couldn't say it clearly, and could only wait for Boss Shen to explain his intentions.

Entering the spacious living room, the two sat down as guests and hosts, and Chen Lianyuan immediately cooked a pot of Lushan Yunwu tea for Shen Yuelou.

"Good tea, the soup color is clear and bright, the taste is mellow and sweet, it really deserves to be a famous Chinese tea."

Taking a sip of green tea, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but look up at Chen Lianyuan and said with a smile: "After listening to your piece of "Loyal Liver, Righteousness and Bold Xu Qinglin" at the disaster relief performance last time, Yuelou suddenly had an idea in his mind.

There is no separation between folk art and opera, and the story of General Xu is often performed in Peking opera, and the famous "Yu School" drama "Zhanliangguan" is related to this.

Shen thought to himself, if a good story can blossom in both folk art and Chinese opera, it will not only spread the story more widely, but also use the story as a medium to expand the audience of traditional Chinese opera or folk art, so that audiences who like to listen to Chinese folk art can enjoy Listen to opera, and audiences who like opera go to listen to opera.

With this in mind, Yuelou co-compiled the scripts of two Peking Operas that she had written but had not had time to rehearse in the past two days into seven storytellings.

Hehe, since this idea was inspired by Mr. Chen, after Mr. Shen finished writing, he naturally came to you to taste it at the first time. "

Quyi and opera are not separated.

Use stories as a medium to broaden the boundaries of the two audiences.

For this reason, the two Peking operas were specially compiled into seven chapters of storytelling.

Hearing Shen Yuelou's sincere words, Chen Lianyuan couldn't help being moved.

It is good to have no distinction between opera and quyi, but in the Chinese literary and art circles, not only opera actors, but even many quyi artists think that quyi is inferior to opera (historical origin and artistic achievements, etc.).

Otherwise, the five-day disaster relief charity performance would not start with folk artists every time, and the main axis of opera actors.

Storytellers like me are fine, they can be regarded as distant relatives of opera, and those who sing drum books, if they borrow stories or arias from opera, they are often strictly required to sing only one or a few of them, and they don’t even have the whole book. to sing.

Unexpectedly, not only did Boss Shen not have the slightest family background, but he even specially adapted opera scripts into storytelling.

Such a big heart and such a character is how magnanimous everyone is!
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Chen Lianyuan suddenly felt more favorable towards Shen Yuelou.

"I have long heard that Boss Shen is a great playwright, with "Snow in June" and "Du Shiniang" before, and "Legend of the White Snake" recently.

Now, hearing you say that you specially adapted Peking Opera into Pingshu, Chen can't wait to read your masterpiece. "

Hearing Chen Lianyuan's words, Shen Yuelou quickly cupped his hands and said with a modest smile: "Mr. Chen is absurd. Mr. Shen has little knowledge of Pingshu, and today I specially present my clumsy work. Please correct me, Pingshu master. "

After receiving a script book with only a dozen pages from Shen Yuelou, Chen Lianyuan immediately flipped through it carefully.

"General Yang"?
There is no particularly famous general surnamed Yang in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The master of this story may be a figure invented by Boss Shen.

Turning to the front page, I saw that the beginning reads: "It is said that the No. 12 emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, named Chai Guangyi, sat in Yanjing City, and his reign name was Taiping Xingguo.

On this day, the emperor ascended to the palace, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had finished paying their respects to the king. Wen Dong and Wu Xi were arranged on both sides.

There is a memorabilia by the prime minister Wang Bao and Wang Yanlang: Wei Yuanshang, the emperor of Daliang in the north, has called for a war table, and wants to start a war with Dazhou;
He also handed over an emergency report at the border: Marshal Han Shou and Han Yanchang of the Liang State led troops and horses to overwhelm the border. Please send troops to the front of the enemy to fight against the Liang soldiers.
……

"I am now under siege in Jinzhou City, who can send the blood book to Old Master Yang?"

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was lifted, and a veteran walked in from the outside.

He was nine feet tall, with a short neck and a thick neck, broad shoulders and a thick back, thick eyebrows and round eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, a flowery beard covering his chest, a four-tile black gold helmet on his head, and a black gold armor on his upper body. The middle coat, cowhide combat boots, and a waist knife under the side make him look majestic and majestic.

When the emperor Chai Guangyi saw the visitor, he immediately looked overjoyed and said, "Oh, Aiqing came just in time, and broke out of the siege among thousands of troops. Only Aiqing can do this."

The story ends abruptly here.

Who?Who is it?
Who is going to ask Mr. Yang for help, and has Mr. Yang rescued Emperor Daizong?

Chen Lianyuan always likes to keep buttons for the audience when he talked about storytelling before, and now, he finally understands the feelings of the audience.

It makes my heart itch, and I really want to know the story that will happen next.

The old man of the golden knife, Yang Wudi, is loyal, brave and resourceful.

When he was young, he led eight thousand volcano troops to sweep away Yanmen. The volcano king, one of the nine founding kings, had a family of five princes. He was given the title of Qingfeng Wucheng Mansion by the Jinshui River. In the Tianbo Tower, there is an iron elixir that can avoid death nine times. Vouchers.

In just seven flashbacks, Yang Jiye, a hero who is brave, good at fighting, and unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, stands still.

What a great work!

From the Grand Master Pan's palace, he led the army to look for vanguards, to the Grand Master's son Pan Bao who was killed by Yang Qilang in the ring, and then to the Tianbo Mansion, Yang Laolinggong trained his son, to the Baozhongliang King's Pavilion, where Taijun She made a fuss in order to save his beloved son. , and then the imperial commander personally conquered the besieged Jinzhou...
The story is compact, the characters are distinct, and the plot is also ups and downs, which is really suitable for storytelling.

Looking at Shen Yuelou earnestly, Chen Lianyuan couldn't help but begged: "Boss Shen, your book is really well written. Chen has a kind request. I want to interpret this story. What price would you get to license this story?"

Hearing Chen Lianyuan's words, Shen Yuelou smiled lightly and shook her head.

Oh, what a pity, what a pity.

Reluctantly handing back the storybook of "The Generals of the Yang Family" with only seven chapters to Shen Yuelou, Chen Lianyuan sighed: "How can such a good book be measured by money and worldly goods? Chen should not have such unreasonable thoughts. Boss Shen doesn’t need to care.”

"Hehe, Mr. Chen misunderstood."

Pushing the storybook to Chen Lianyuan, Shen Yuelou smiled lightly and explained: "Today, Shen brought the storybook to Mr. Chen for viewing, with the intention of giving it as a gift. Just now, Yuelou shook his head, not as a rejection. But I want to change the way of cooperation.”

"Another way of cooperation?"

Seeing that Chen Lianyuan was still unclear, Shen Yuelou had no choice but to further explain: "That's right, it's not that you bought the storytelling authorization of "The Yang Family" from me with money, but I invited you to use your voice to interpret the storytelling of "The Yang Family" story.

Haha, I don't know how much money it will cost to ask you, a storytelling master, to tell a storytelling book? "
