Volume 2 Seeking Fang on the Hundred Flowers Continent Chapter 146 Building Momentum
Speaking of these, Lin Jue gushed endlessly. Mother Xie cried with a sad face, where did she have such ambitions, but Lin Jue was determined to do it, and she could only do it. Xie Yingying pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Childe, don't talk so far ahead, the script of "The Legend of the West Chamber" has not been finished yet, the new drama cannot be staged as scheduled, and the people will smash the field." You've been gone for a month, and you don't say hello, so you don't care if we live or die? ”
Lin Jue laughed and said: "It's really my fault, but you see, I haven't been idle this afternoon, this is the last script of "The Legend of the West Chamber", you can rehearse according to this." This is a big drama, whether the Jiangnan Grand Theater can become popular depends on this play. I'm afraid that the warbler girl will have to rehearse hard all night again. ”
Xie Yingying couldn't wait to take the script over, looked at it for a while and nodded, "Childe bothered." I've seen this play very well, and I lack some lighting, costumes, music props, and other things, and now I can finally start rehearsals, and it should be officially premiered in ten days. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Very good, I'm going to come to see the premiere." ”
Xie Yingying smiled: "When do you want to come, don't you want to come when you want?" The best box is for you. ”
Lin Jue said: "I don't sit in the box, I want to watch it among the people, and I can make fine-tuning and modifications according to their reactions." ”
Xie Yingying nodded slightly and said, "It's still Lin Gongzi who has a heart." This play will be a success, I have a hunch. I have a small opinion, though. ”
"What's the opinion?"
"Cui Yingying here has the same name as me, Childe shouldn't have done it on purpose, can you change it, don't have the same name as me? It always feels like something is wrong. ”
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this was indeed a coincidence. But it's just a coincidence.
"You can't change it, if you change the name of Cui Yingying, it won't be the West Chamber. There is nothing wrong with having the same name as you, Yingying plays Yingying, maybe it is God's will, this is called the unity of human drama. I didn't mean it, but I feel that you have some similarities with Cui Yingying. ”
"Childe made fun of it, Cui Yingying is the daughter of Xiangguo, what is the slave family?"
"You're wrong, I'm not talking about origin but character. Cui Yingying's personality is bold and enthusiastic, daring to love and hate, I think you are also such a person. The courage and resoluteness of being able to abandon the name of the Oiran and leave the flower world is quite similar. Maybe I inadvertently borrowed from you when I was writing the play. Lin Jue said with a smile.
Lin Jue has also been trained to the point where his face does not change and his heart does not beat when talking, if Mr. Wang Shifu knows something, I am afraid that he will jump out and scold. No, there is no Wang Shifu at this time, and the process of this history may not be the first person Wang Shifu. Whether it is original or plagiarism is a confusing account.
When Xie Yingying heard this, she blushed and thought to herself: "Is he hinting that I dare to love and hate?" Do you want me to confess to him? He wrote that Cui Yingying in the West Chamber took the initiative to dedicate herself to Zhang Junrui, did he imply that I would do the same? ”
……
In the past few days, Lin Jue's life has been relaxed and comfortable. The great crisis that has just passed has just changed Lin Jue's situation. Now in the Lin Mansion, everyone is polite to Lin Jue, even Lin Boyong, Lin Ke and others stopped to say hello when they saw Lin Jue, in the past, they all went away with their spirits high, and they looked at Lin Jue as if they were nothing. Not to mention Huang Changqing and Zhao Liancheng, when they saw Lin Jue, they all saluted respectfully. Although they may not know the real reason, they are the best at reading their faces to recognize the direction of the wind, and when they saw the change in the attitude of the head of the family and several long-term princes towards Lin Jue, they immediately understood that this third-room prince was no longer the person who could be snub at will like before.
Lin Boyong did make a lot of changes, and the court training in November was canceled for the first time. Although the reason given by Lin Boyong was that he was sick, Lin Jue understood that this was not the case. The behavior of the people of the Stalking tribe has also disappeared, and there is even news that the head of the family has talked to a few brothers from outside the house, asking them if they are really willing to study and take the exam, if they really don't like it, they will go to the family business to do things, and never force Yunyun.
All in all, for Lin Jue, these changes are gratifying. The revitalization of the Lin family depends on the centripetal force of the whole clan, not Lin Boyong's wishful thinking. Of course, these things are far from enough, but even if this small change makes the life of the disciples in the outer house better, so that they will not be treated like cows, horses, pigs and dogs, it is also a kind of progress.
The days of the academy were also peaceful, Lin Jue still went to Fang's house every day to copy and transcribe for Fang Dunru, and occasionally took care of the vegetable furrows in the courtyard that had not been tidied up for a long time with Lin Hu, rested the fence wall, and renovated the flower bed path. Lin Jue didn't want this place to become barren, and he didn't want his wife to see the scene of the courtyard full of depression after her mother returned.
When doing these things again, Lin Jue always remembered that when Fang Huanqiu lived here, she would accompany her to laugh whenever she went out to work.
"Senior brother, drink some tea."
"Senior brother, wipe your sweat, you have become a big face."
"Senior brother, take me to the West Lake Flower Boat one day."
"Senior brother, let's make a poem and listen to it."
"Senior brother! I...... I like you so much. ”
"Senior brother! ……”
Fang Huanqiu's smile and whispers were deeply imprinted in his mind, making Lin Jue linger. Every time he thought of this, Lin Jue felt a faint pain in his heart. But Lin Jue firmly believes that he and Fang Huanqiu will have a reunion. When he had free time, he also wandered around the major medical halls in the city, discussing Fang Huanqiu's condition with those who claimed to be miracle doctors. He even did not hesitate to turn to Liang Wangfu to find a way to treat Fang Huanqiu's disease. Although there is little gain, Lin Jue is still happy.
On November 18, the day that many people in Hangzhou have been looking forward to has arrived, and that is the official premiere of the new play "The Legend of the West Chamber" of the Jiangnan Grand Theater. Mochizuki Tower has made a lot of gimmicks, such as asking the artist to draw a plot map a day and put it in front of the door of the Grand Theater. Equipped with one or two classic lyrics in the play, write the number of days countdown.
For example, the penultimate day depicts the back of a beautiful woman, and a handsome scholar stares at it obsessively. With the phrase "the east wind sways the weeping poplar line, the gossamer pulls the peach blossom pieces, and the bead curtain covers the hibiscus face". That was exactly what happened when Zhang Junrui first met Cui Yingying in the first act of the West Chamber.
On the picture board of the penultimate day is a scholar who reads hard late at night, accompanied by the words "Cast to Deyun Road Pengcheng 90,000 miles, first suffered from the snow window fireflies for 20 years." 'The lyrics. This is exactly what Zhang Junrui reads hard in the second act. This picture alone made many people in the city who studied hard to take the exam feel close to each other.
The penultimate day is under a pair of moonlight, in the long window of the wing, men and women sit in harmony under the lamp, and the affection between the eyebrows of men and women is like a picture. The accompanying words are 'Mo negative moon Huaming, and pity the flowers and shadows.' ’。 That's a classic in the third act.
The penultimate day is a pair. The woman in the red fur stands in the sky and looks at the distant mountains among the yellow leaves flying, with 'blue clouds, yellow flowers, the west wind is tight, and the northern geese fly south. Who is drunk with frost in Xiaolai? Always away from tears. 'The lyrics. That's a scene in the fourth act.
These are all marketing routines designed by Lin Jue, which seem to be spoilers but are not clear. It arouses people's desire to watch even more. In addition, from the words of these few sentences, you can see that the lyrics of this play are exquisite, and it is even more unstoppable.
Not to mention, the Jiangnan Grand Theater launched the activity of 'watching the West Chamber and guessing the plot'. Anyone who guesses the plot based on the drawings and is proven to be correct after the premiere will receive the privilege of watching the play for free for one year at the Jiangnan Grand Theater. This move is even more of a hot topic, many people are speculating about the plot of this play, and everyone has become a playwright. It is often seen that two gangs of people in a wine shop on the street are fighting over what they think is the right plot. The city was in an uproar.
There are other marketing tactics, such as the auction of the premiere boxes, which fetched high prices for more than a dozen boxes on the first and second floors of the theater. One of the best boxes on the second floor was auctioned by a mysterious figure for a sky-high price of three hundred taels of silver. It's just jaw-dropping.
Of course, the price of ordinary fares does not increase, and what Lin Jue wants to earn is the money of those who have money. He even felt that a high-profile announcement should be made that part of the box office of the premiere would be donated to the nursing home set up by the Hangzhou government. In order to avoid some people saying that the Jiangnan Grand Theater is waiting for opportunities to make money. But in the end, Lin Jue still didn't do it. Because the amount was too large, Lin Jue was reluctant. Moreover, the later plans require a lot of money, and Lin Jue is not noble enough to affect the business plan in order to do charity.
All in all, the premiere of the West Chamber is full of turmoil in the city, and everyone knows it. Although it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among many people, what Lin Jue wants is that kind of propaganda effect, whether it is good or bad, they have to come and take a look, right? As long as you come in, you will have to spend money. As long as they came in, Lin Jue believed that he could satisfy them with this big show.
