The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China
Chapter 14 2 Newspapers
Shopkeeper Liu didn't say much, but these words matched the content of the article.
Anyone who has studied modern history knows that the main purpose of Western powers in China is to plunder the economy and resources and bring them back to develop their own country.In order to gain an advantage in commercial activities, they set up concessions that are not subject to the control of the Chinese government, and use various means to usurp benefits.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Hankou, known as the Chicago of the East, had concessions from five countries. Businessmen from more than a dozen countries were dissatisfied with the benefits brought by the concessions. They used means to buy a new land in Hankou at a low price. The racetrack, in fact, set up various theaters, casinos, smokehouses, and brothels here, and took part in them, turning it into a veritable gold-selling cave.
On the one hand, the foreigners behind it coerced and lured artists to perform at the racecourse at low prices, and on the other hand, they used means to suppress other local theaters, and soon monopolized the entertainment industry in Hankou, making money every day.
What's even more frightening is that such a place, which can be called the economic lifeline of Hankou, relies on the power of more than a dozen countries behind it to evade taxes and let a large amount of real money flow into the pockets of foreigners, becoming a part of Hankou's economy. Big cancer.
In the article, Liqing implored the people of Hankou not to go to the racetrack anymore, but to support the local entertainment industry in other places and resist foreigners to save Hankou's economy.Xie Yan admired the excellent writing of the other party's article, but he didn't think such an appeal could completely solve the problem.
The people need entertainment, and the racecourse can provide entertainment items that cannot be compared with other places, so it can last forever.
If you want to fight against the racetrack, if you can't fight against foreigners, you can only solve the problem from the root and support the local entertainment industry. When the time comes, the audience will naturally come uninvited.
However, the most famous actors in Hankou City have either been bought by foreigners, or they have been suppressed by means of means so that they cannot perform, and they cannot get together at all.
Xie Yan looked at the newspaper in his hand, and frowned. In his rare memory, the Huguang patrol in this world is a very powerful person, who knows how to assess the situation, and is dedicated to the people. Li Qing can see that published in the newspaper Doesn't Xunxu know nothing about it?
Xie Yan suddenly thought of the reason why the original owner came to Hankou. Although the Dechun troupe is a famous troupe in the capital, Hankou is not without good actors. Why spend so much effort and money to invite Bai Luoqiu to come to Hankou to sing?
Could it be that the patrol wants to invite actors from other places to come to Hankou to sing against the racecourse?With the background support of the Huguang patrol, it can compete with the foreigners who use tricks behind the scenes.
This also seems to explain why the Dechun class was robbed before arriving in Hankou...
"Xiao Xie, you are not in good health. When you write stories from now on, go to the utility room where the piano is on the second floor. Keep it clean." Shopkeeper Liu didn't know what Xie Yan was thinking, so he kept silent and reminded him.
He has seen countless people in his life, and he can see that Xie Yan is not an extraordinary person, and he might have a big future in the future, so he became speculative.
"Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper." Xie Yan came back to his senses and did not refuse, "I don't know when Mr. Shun will arrive. Let me tell him about today's book."
"Mr. Shun is still working in the library in the concession in the morning, and he will come here at noon. He asks you to be more considerate, first write down the stories you think of, and wait for him to come."
Mr. Shun relies on storytelling for food, so it is impossible for him to be lazy every day and just talk about it once a day. Besides the regular job of transporting teahouses, he also visits acupuncture points in several libraries. Xie Yan expressed his understanding when he heard the words, and went up to the second floor with the pen and paper borrowed from Shopkeeper Liu. .
When passing by the lobby, Wednesday, who was reprimanded by Shopkeeper Liu for being lazy yesterday, stood at the door and gave him a hard look. Xie Yan ignored him and went straight up the stairs, his face distorted in anger.
Xie Yan didn't know how to use a brush in her previous life, and she couldn't read traditional Chinese characters well. After timetraveling, she merged with the original owner's body memory, so she knew everything. She wrote in thin gold script very well.
There are very few people who can practice calligraphy in this era, Xie Yan is inevitably more curious about the original owner's life experience, but he only has the memory of the original owner's year in the theater troupe, and nothing else.
But at this time to write the story, Xie Yan didn't intend to use a brush. He borrowed a pen, ink and paper from Shopkeeper Liu, and planned to write down the plot of Hankou Romance that he had already thought about.
Xie Yan is not a liberal arts student, and he didn't show off his writing style when he wrote the story. It was more like a script than a novel.However, his choice of words and sentences are very precise, and he can often portray the core image of a character with just a few strokes. His style of writing can be described as unique.
In this way, he immersed himself in writing for more than two hours, and all the plots to be told today have been written. Xie Yan recalled the social newspaper he had just read, and planned to write down the plots that he had already talked about yesterday.
It is very popular to publish novels in newspapers in this era. If his style of writing can be accepted, he can contribute some extra money and make the story of Romance in Hankou spread more widely.
The time was unknowingly close to eleven o'clock in the noon, Xie Yan just stopped writing and was about to slow down, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door.
"Shopkeeper Liu, is this the one?" Someone asked, and the voice turned out to be a young woman.
"Yes, Xiao Xie is in that room." Shopkeeper Liu's voice came from downstairs.
Xie Yan was taken aback, and in the next second, he realized who the owner of this voice was—another resident artist who was transported to the teahouse, Xiao Wenliu who sang a ditty before Mr. Shun.
Xie Yan was busy talking to Mr. Shun yesterday, so she didn't watch Xiao Wenliu's performance, but the sound of singing floated upstairs and was heard in her ears without saying a word.Xiao Wenliu's voice is very sweet, crisp and bright, and the ending is mellow and sticky, which makes people feel itchy. No wonder he has a regular job in Yunlai Tea House.
Xie Yan quickly tidied up the papers on the table and put them away backwards. When she got up, Xiao Wenliu had already pushed the door and entered.
"Hello." Xie Yan looked up, Xiao Wenliu looked fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a water red pipa jacket, holding a pair of jade boards in his hand, with two thick long braids, and a pair of big eyes She's shiny, so she can't be called a great beauty, but she's still pretty.
"Hello, are you Boss Bai's apprentice?" Xiao Wenliu asked.
Xie Yan reacted for a moment before realizing that the other party was referring to the original owner's master, Bai Luoqiu, "I am, what's the matter?"
"That's all right." Xiao Wenliu heaved a sigh of relief, clapped his hands and laughed, "My master and Boss Bai are senior sisters and younger brothers of Xihemen, so logically you have to call me senior sister."
