Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 9 Kunsheng Lin Yanqiu

Disfigured, destitute, sick and weak, he endured so much misery, yet he had to return to the place he had been deliberately avoiding before on a snowy night.

Perhaps, he knew that he was going to die, so he dared to muster up the courage to return to this manor?
So, what is the reason to support his return?
Why didn't he dare to come back?

What sad and moving story happened to him?
This series of questions tickled Lin Sinan's heart.

After the desolate old man died, one of the little beggars stole the gold bracelet he had hidden in his sleeve, and their commotion in the back garden finally attracted the attention of other people in the manor.

The owner of the manor went out with his maid, Xiaolan, and sent the two little beggars away. Looking at the corpse of the desolate old man lying on the ground, the owner of the manor looked pitiful, and there seemed to be endless regret in his eyes.

The wind picked up, the snowflakes fell, and the curtain slowly fell.

They know each other?It seems that there are still many untold stories.

It seems that the following is about to flashback.

With many suspense left in the prologue, Lin Sinan continued to read curiously.

Act one.

Count back in time to what it was like 20 years ago.

The "big city" that the patient said before he died was probably this big city.

It was the time of peace, the world was peaceful, and the scholar-bureaucrats lingered and sang songs all day long...

Wei Liansheng, a famous actress in Yandu, should be the incarnation of Liu Hanchen, a famous actress in Jinmen.

Followed by Li Rongsheng, long-time acquaintance Wang Xingui, court president Su Hongji, anti-smuggling captain Xu Fucheng, and Su Hongji's fourth wife Yuchun who was born in a small Qing Yin class.

Yuchun?

If you look at it this way, the desolate old man who appeared in the prologue should be Wei Liansheng.

However, after secretly communicating with the fourth concubine Tai Yuchun, Wei Liansheng was not directly shot to death in prison like Liu Hanchen, but was disfigured and exiled. Is this ending somewhat unreasonable?

Well, in fact, according to what Mr. Shen intentionally or unintentionally expressed in the script, it can be explained completely.

First of all, Chu Yufu's incarnation, Su Hongji, is no longer a lawless warlord, but a dignified smuggling civil servant. Then, his methods of dealing with Wei Liansheng can no longer be as fierce as a warlord.

Moreover, disfigurement and exile are more insidious and more in line with Su Hongji's temperament and identity. It is more distressing than killing Wei Liansheng directly. At least, he will not have to suffer from being displaced for another 20 years.

What's more obscure is that Su Hongji also has that kind of special thoughts towards Wei Liansheng.

He was reluctant to kill Liansheng, and a clue can be seen from his nostalgia for Liansheng in his later years.

Reluctant to kill him, but able to destroy his appearance, let him taste the suffering of the world, but start to eat fast and chant Buddha in his later years, this kind of complicated human nature is really worth pondering.

Is this what Mr. Shen said that the characters should be full enough?

This seems to be the case. In "Returning on a Snowy Night", whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, the images of the characters are quite full.

Even Wang Xingui, who was recommended by Wei Liansheng to serve in the Su residence, and later exposed Wei Liansheng and Yuchun's adultery, seems to be unable to judge by purely good or bad.

It is true that it was indeed an act of ungratefulness for him to expose Wei Liansheng.

But before that, he had already discovered about Liansheng and his fourth concubine, and he had repeatedly reminded Liansheng not to have close contact with his fourth concubine, but he did not inform him.

It wasn't until Wei Liansheng made the decision to escape from the Su family completely under Yuchun's instigation that Wang Xingui went to Su Hongji to report them.

Because, Wang Xingui knew, he was recommended by Wei Liansheng, and Wei Liansheng ran away with the fourth aunt, and Su Hongji couldn't find anyone, so he would definitely not let him be the housekeeper.

And he didn't want to run away with him, the life of the housekeeper in Su's house was so good, he didn't want to go back to the poor life before.

……

The script of Mr. Shen's "Returning on a Snowy Night" is indeed much better than my "Death of a Famous Actress", and its ideological and artistic quality is higher than my work.

I really can't believe that such a wonderful drama script was written by a young man in his early twenties, and it was written in one night.

Genius, Mr. Shen is really a genius.

Oh, let's find a chance to try to apologize to Teacher Shen.

It's not a big problem if the pattern is small when creating, but the pattern of being a human being can't be smaller.

Now that he knew that he was not arrogant and ignorant, nor did he intend to ridicule him, his attitude at that time was indeed a bit rude.

……

Two days later, Shen Yuelou, who had already given up any hope of getting the system reward, suddenly received a call from Lin Sinan.

In fact, Lin Sinan decided to call Mr. Shen after reading the script of "Returning on a Snowy Night".

But, for one thing, the awkward atmosphere always needs a little time to dilute and ease.

Second, you should find a suitable excuse to meet, and you can't just apologize straight up.

That would only embarrass both parties.

Today, he just found one.

"Hehe, Teacher Shen, do you have time this morning?"

"It seems that there is nothing wrong."

Shen Yuelou answered lightly, and couldn't help thinking.

Lin Sinan actually took the initiative to call himself?

Didn't we break up last time?
Hearing Shen Yuelou's answer, Lin Sinan said happily: "That's just right, yesterday, Lin Yanqiu, a famous student of Shenjiang Beijing Theater, entered Beijing.

She has just accepted the invitation of our Jiyunzhai box office, and she will come to our box office this morning to sing the finale "Fish Dragon Sword" and the main axis opera "Zhanliangguan".

At that time, many actors and actresses from Yanjing who have good friends with us at the box office of Jiyunzhai will also be present.

On the occasion of this event, I would like to invite you to visit our Jiyunzhai box office. Would you like to show me your face? "

Kun gave birth to Lin Yanqiu, this is a popular actress in Liyuan!

People who often make headlines on the "Liyuan Gazette".

If there is a chance, getting acquainted with Boss Lin will definitely be of great benefit to my future Peking Opera career.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuelou immediately replied with a chuckle: "Director Lin is too polite, in Yanjing Liyuan, I have heard of the box office of Jiyunzhai for a long time, but I have never had a chance to see the real face.

Today, I was honored to be invited by director Sinan, and boss Lin Yanqiulin is also available to listen to. Yuelou must go to see the world. "

Hearing Shen Yuelou's affirmative answer, Lin Sinan also looked happy: "Hahaha, that's good, the matter is settled like this.

Oh, by the way, I don't know where you live, Mr. Shen?
Give me your address, and I'll drive over to pick you up right away. "

Thinking that it would be very inconvenient to take a taxi there, Shen Yuelou nodded and replied, "I live in the staff dormitory of the No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to Huaxia Academy of Chinese Opera."
