The performance at the Takarazuka Theater ended and the audience left. Shen Yuelou, as the head of the Chinese opera culture delegation, was received by Emperor Xiaochuan of Yingzhou and took pictures with each other.

Back at the Akasaka State Guesthouse, the actors began to pack their luggage, ready to go to the next stop.

The trip to Yingzhou only lasted 27 days in total. After staying in Kyoto for eleven days, it was time to go to Osaka and Nagoya.

……

As soon as the Kunqu opera "The Peony Pavilion" was performed, it caused a sensation in the entire Yingzhou literary and artistic circle with its elegant and beautiful lyrics and exquisite performance. Performer——Shen Yuelou, head of the Huaxia Opera Cultural Exchange Delegation.

Since then, photos of Shen Yuelou's makeup have appeared on TV, newspapers and fashion magazines in Yingzhou. Even some animation and game companies in Yingzhou have begun to use Shen Yuelou's image as a reference to design Some games and anime characters.

Spreading outward from the literary and art circles in Kyoto, there was a wave of enthusiasm for Chinese opera in Yingzhou.

Shen Yuelou did not stay in Kyoto for a long time. After performing "The Peony Pavilion" at Takarazuka Theater, he led the Chinese opera cultural exchange group to Osaka.

This time, it was different from the desolation when entering the Kyoto airport for the first time. When the train of the Chinese Opera Cultural Exchange Delegation entered the Osaka Railway Station, there were already crowds of people outside. Everyone wanted to see the beauty of Shen Lang and Shen. elegant demeanor.

Later, when the Huaxia opera cultural exchange delegation left Osaka for Nagoya, the scene to greet them was even more spectacular.

In the five theaters in Osaka and Nagoya, the Chinese Opera Cultural Exchange Delegation performed a total of twelve performances. In addition to Kunqu Opera "The Peony Pavilion" and Huangmei Opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", Shen Yuelou also performed the Peking Opera "Tiannv Scattering Flowers" and "The Drunken Concubine".

The performance of "The Goddess Scatters Flowers" not only incorporates the traditional Chinese long silk dance into Peking Opera, but is also full of poetry and Zen.

Shen Yuelou moves like clouds and wind on the stage, and flying flowers seem to fall from the sky. This classical grace unique to China makes the audience in Yingzhou fascinated.

As soon as these two plays were staged, the audience in Yingzhou was astonished, and directly regarded Shen Yuelou as the embodiment of Chinese classical beauty.

The trip to Yingzhou of the Huaxia opera culture exchange delegation lasted 27 days, and there were [-] public performances, almost all the venues were sold out. Everyone in the streets and alleys was arguing about Shenyuelou, and there was even a "Shenlang fever" in Kyoto for a while.

The whole world was shocked, the sky was covered, and Chinese operas swept the entire Yingzhou.

……

When the Huaxia opera culture delegation boarded the plane and returned to China, countless audiences from Yingzhou came to see off, and the voices of persuading and expecting to meet again filled every corner of the airport.

"Thanks to Mr. Akai, Mr. Sakamoto, and Mr. Bandong for their support and love for the Huaxia opera cultural exchange delegation. Without your help, Huaxia opera would not have caused such a big sensation in Yingzhou."

"Boss Shen is very polite. I look forward to your next visit to Kyoto."

After saying goodbye to Akai Ryota, Sakamoto Ichiro and Sakadong Tamasaburo, Shen Yuelou was about to board the plane, but Sakadong Yusaburo said: "Boss Shen, Yusaburo has an unfeeling request.

I admire Chinese opera culture very much, especially your artistic attainments. I want to take you as my teacher and learn Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera from you. What do you think? "

Take Saka Dongyu Saburo as an apprentice?

Hearing Bandong Yusaburo's words, not only Shen Yuelou's eyes widened, but Yu Zhenfei and Zaifen were also shocked.

Bandong Yusaburo is a national treasure Kabuki in Yingzhou, internationally renowned, and he is much older than Boss Shen. Is it appropriate for him to worship Boss Shen as his teacher?

After thinking about it, Shen Yuelou understood that Bandong Yusaburo was a pure artist, and he was completely conquered by the beauty of Chinese opera.

"Hehe, there is no need to talk about master and apprentice. If Mr. Bandong wants to learn Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, just come to Yanjing to find me, and Yuelou will definitely teach me."

"Thank you Boss Shen, oh, no, thank you master. Master, Yu Sanlang is polite."

Seeing that Bandong Yusaburo insisted on paying homage to him as a teacher, Shen Yuelou smiled helplessly and had no choice but to accept it.

As a result, under the witness of countless cameras and Yingzhou officials, Bandou Tamasaburo and Shen Yuelou became master and apprentice. This has also become a good story in the Liyuan in the future.

The plane took off slowly, and soon rose to the clouds.

Sitting on the clouds, Shen Yuelou was closing his eyes and resting his mind when he suddenly heard a notification sound from the "National Opera Master Assist" system.

Before I knew it, I already had ten personal disciples.

Consciousness sank into the private goods warehouse, and Shen Yuelou also saw three task rewards piled up in the warehouse-the ability to recognize beads with eyes, the ability to change vocals, and the ability to play musical instruments.

Clicking to collect the ability of discerning pearls, Shen Yuelou was also very happy in his heart.
