I write novels in the East Palace

"I know almost all the opera troupes in the capital. If you want to ask Sanshengliu to sing for you, I can find them. This volume is really suitable for changing into an opera, and it will definitely become famous in the future!" Princess Huimin was very excited, even the usual indifferent His voice was fast and dense.

However, the drama... really touched Zhou Chengyi's knowledge blind spot.

As we all know, there is a difference between scripts and novels, let alone drama scripts.

Zhou Chengyi once rewrote movie scripts. For him, the difficulty lies not in the storyboarding, but in the libretto.The reason why opera is called opera is that it is used for singing, and it is not just for ordinary singing. The words with any accent have their own rules, and they especially pay attention to antithetical rhymes, which are similar to Yuefu poems.

To change the script of Pirates of Dreams, it is basically tantamount to rewriting, and all the lines have to be revised.

When Zhou Chengyi thought about it, he felt that the bald nightmare was about to come back.

He quickly touched his hairline to calm his shock, "I really can't write operas, but you can find someone who is good at it to try."

Princess Huimin shook her head in disappointment, "Except for you, probably no one can write such an artistic conception."

Most of the older generation of opera writers have arrogance, and they like to insert their own things when revising their manuscripts, add appearances to favorite characters, uglify characters they don’t like, and what’s more, they are ostentatious—that is, carrying private goods in modern times.

After all, everyone has preferences, and it is impossible to count them all the same.

Although there are well-improved works, there are more works that distort the meaning of the original work.

But everything has an audience, except Princess Huimin is not among them.She is a standard original book party and hates this kind of thing, so she will choose to wait and see the adaptation of other people's works.

However, those whose thinking has not been solidified are often lacking in writing skills. It is difficult to reach the height of the original work.

Therefore, Princess Huimin had no choice but to give up, a little weary.

This kind of emotion infected Zhou Chengyi, he pondered for a while and said, "Actually...you don't have to change it into an opera, it can also be performed on stage."

What Zhou Chengyi was talking about was drama.

Drama is also a kind of drama. It is different from opera and stage play in that its narrative means are unaccompanied dialogues and monologues. After reducing the music, the audience will naturally pay more attention to the actors themselves. Therefore, the acting skills and lines The foundation is very elegant.

Zhou Chengyi thought of Lu Guangfu out of time. His voice, which can make people's ears tingle, is like a bell. In this age without microphones, he is very suitable to be a drama actor.

Zhou Chengyi briefly explained the drama, Princess Huimin was very interested in this new type of drama, immediately got up and said, "It's not too late, I'll go to the troupe to find some actors, and I will repair it in a few days, so it can be used Come play."

Princess Huimin grew up in front of the Empress Dowager Chunzhuang. There was no princess mansion at first, but now that the Empress Dowager Chunzhuang has passed away, it is inappropriate for her to live in the harem as an orphan who has grown old. Without slacking off, a special mansion was given according to the specifications of the princess.

She only needs to move out of the palace after the arrangement is completed, and she can do whatever she wants at that time, without having to have the same scruples as in the palace.

Princess Huimin couldn't wait when she thought of this.

"I never thought that the princess is still impatient." Zhou Chengyi couldn't laugh or cry, "The candidate is the princess, I will write the script for you soon."

Princess Huimin insisted.

Zhou Chengyi was quite helpless, "Even if you want me to go, I won't be able to go. Could it be that you forgot that I'm a body to be punished?"

Princess Huimin said, "It will be a matter of time before the ban is lifted. Now that the Habayashi Army has been transferred away, the Holy Majesty has clearly turned a blind eye to you, so why do you have to be self-confident?"

When she came, she noticed that the entrance of the East Palace was completely different from before, and she knew it in her heart.

What the prince has done recently is all about helping the country and the country. No matter whether the purpose behind it is impure or not, or whether it is a conspiracy to take advantage of the merits, the emperor has shown his support, indulgence and tolerance for the prince with practical actions.

She doesn't know how the public opinion in the court is, but she knows the subtle movements of the Twelve Prisons.

A few days ago, the inspector first sent someone away, and then picked out all the things for the winter and brought them here. It must be some news from the inspector.

Princess Huimin believed in her own judgment, and said, "You can follow me with peace of mind, if something happens, I will bear it all."

Having said all of this, Zhou Chengyi would be ignorant of flattery if he didn't do it anymore.

And he was actually curious, the last time he went out of the palace with the heaven worshiping team, he didn't see anything, but the Habayashi Army was still blocking the way.

Zhou Chengyi didn't pretend to be special and didn't make much fanfare, and followed Princess Huimin out of the palace in a low-key manner.

Almost before and after, the news spread to Qianyuan Palace, and Wang He reported it with his ear.

"He's quite interested." The emperor didn't sound angry when he said it, but he didn't blame him, he just waved his hand casually.

Wang He has been with Shengjia for many years, so he can naturally see His Majesty's true emotions. Normally, he would definitely blow His Royal Highness' rainbow farts again, but today's situation is special, His Highness is still waiting for the Fifth Prince, so he quietly retreated.

Zhou Chengan was trying to figure out who this was talking about, and the disaster directly fell on him.

"Old Five, what have you found out from those people who were handed over to you earlier?" The memorial fell on the table without any seriousness, but it seemed to hit Zhou Chengan's heart with a heavy hammer.

Those people had already obeyed his orders, and although there were a few mistakes in the middle, it was impossible for him to slap his mouth; but if he couldn't find out, then he was incompetent. If the emperor sent someone else to investigate...

It seems that only one person can be pushed out to take the blame.

"Father, I finally found the mastermind behind the scenes..." Zhou Chengan announced the candidate he had decided on in his heart. He was one of the most insignificant people under his command. The attitude between him and the prince is unclear.

Zhou Chengan made a regretful expression on his face, but in his heart he felt a little gloating.

However, he soon lost his joy.

"You found out it was him? But a mere fifth-rank official can reach out to the Habayashi Army? It seems that the Habayashi Army should really rectify it."

The emperor sneered, and summoned Wang He, "Draft the paper, dismiss Xue Gang, the left general of the Habayashi Army, and Peng Hu, a member of the imperial guard battalion, and order Baili, the deputy commander of the Habayashi Army, to clean up military discipline. Check it all out for me."

"Father!" Zhou Chengan almost couldn't control his expression when he heard these two names.

That's all for Peng Hu, but Xue Gang is his confidant, once something happens to him, he will break his arm.

But Zhou Chengan couldn't say anything and didn't dare to say anything, even when the emperor asked, "If you have any opinions, please let me know." He even agreed, "Father is wise."

Zhou Chengyi didn't know that the cheap father was teaching the cheap younger brother who didn't know martial arts. He was quite speechless watching the newsboys running through the crowd in twos and threes on the streets of Chang'an, shouting, or making up and singing newspaper songs.

This unfamiliar tune and libretto, and the appearance of the children with their backpacks stuffed with books and newspapers are familiar yet familiar, creating an inexplicable sense of time travel as if time and space are torn apart.

He suddenly thought that he had actually worn it to the period of the Republic of China.

A newspaper boy saw that he and Princess Huimin were well dressed, and came forward to introduce them, "Sir, miss, do you want to buy books? There is a magazine "Chang'an" that published the latest volume of Mr. Zhi Ge's "Fox Dream", and there is also the latest Chang'an debate competition. "Reader Reviews."

Princess Huimin immediately asked for these two books, although she obviously had both.

The newsboy said again, "Miss, is Mr. Zhi Ge's book fan? Chang'an Bookstore is pre-selling "Fox Dream" as a book. I can fill in the order here. The first payment is one or two, and the final payment is paid on delivery. Miss, don't worry about me. Stealing money, those of us who sell goods are all people who have registered household registration in the bookstore, and there is a [-]-cent commission for each order. If you don’t receive the goods by then, you can go to Chang’an Bookstore to ask for my portrait. "

After he finished speaking in one breath, he asked politely, "Does Miss need it?"

Princess Huimin nodded as expected, and the newsboy took out a pen and paper from his bag, and instructed them to fill in the orders one by one.

Zhou Chengyi: "..."

He who has been staying in the East Palace knows that the book is selling well, but he doesn't know what method he used.

The good guy Fu Qian is worthy of being a generation of profiteers. He not only organized newsboys for promotion and sales, but also started pre-sales and commissions.I always feel that according to this development, the establishment of a company and the listing of securities transactions may not be possible.

Zhou Chengyi felt that he should take good care of his life for a longer time, and strive to see the day when Chang'an Bookstore goes public.

"Sir, do you need it?" The newsboy asked again.

Zhou Chengyi is not very interested in these two in-depth books. Although he did not contribute to "Readers' Reviews", he never got a sample issue after it became an independent publication, but various selected readers' reviews are still sent. Come, he can probably guess the content of the publication.

He saw that there seemed to be something else in the bag, "What else do you have here?"

"Oh, this, this is Zhaojialou's "Chang'an Chao Bao". It used to be just a small page, and it was only famous in a small area. Many students of the Taixue would buy it. Now they have revised it, not only adding punctuation The symbols are also made into a book, and we are asked to help publicize one or two."

The newsboy took out a copy and gave it to Zhou Chengyi.

Zhou Chengyi didn't expect it to be a morning newspaper... Well, although it was made into a thin volume, it was not real-time news, but a weekly issue.

But he still bought it, and then opened it to look. The title of the first page was "Fox Dream" Stealing Life Volume Ended, the second page analyzed the trend of "Fox Dream" Stealing Dream volume, and the third page was the first Chang'an Debating Competition.

...This newspaper's marketing campaign is too strong!

But fortunately, although it's just hype, the content is real. The author of the first page is quite powerful. He dug up the foreshadowings buried in the stealth scroll and analyzed them one by one. Even Qi Feng and Wang Min he implicitly expressed are the same person. I guessed it all!

He turned back and looked at the author's name—oh, he said the style of writing was somewhat familiar, it turned out to be Zigu.

That's fine.
