Zhou Hexuan is really going to the theater this afternoon, and it is not a lie. He took the Yang sisters to the World Theater, and Zhang Leyi and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Dad," Xiao Lingjun threw himself into Zhou Hexuan's arms, looked at Yang Xiuqiong with dripping eyes, and said in surprise, "This is that mermaid sister!" ”

Zhang Leyi deliberately glanced at the Yang sisters a few more times, stretched out her hand and smiled: "Hello two, my name is Zhang Leyi." ”

Sisters Yang Xiuzhen and Yang Xiuqiong hurriedly said, "Hello Ms. Zhang! ”

Zhou Hexuan was afraid that Zhang Leyi would be jealous again, so he hurriedly told the story briefly and said: "They were entangled by Chu Minyi and couldn't get out, so I had to bring them over." ”

Zhang Leyi was quite angry when she heard this: "The dignified secretary general of the Executive Yuan can actually do such a thing, it is simply unseemly. ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Okay, let's sit down and wait to watch the play." ”

In Nanjing, the scale of the world's great theaters is second only to the Capital Theater, and the more magnificent Dahua Theater and Xindu Theater have not yet been completed and opened at this time.

These theaters are multi-purpose and can show movies, traditional plays, and even Western plays.

Although Peking Opera originated in the north, it was also quite popular in the south during the Republic of China. Shanghai even surpassed Beiping and Tianjin to become the largest consumer market for Peking Opera in the Republic of China, often gathering Peking Opera masters from all over the country.

Nanjing, which is relatively close to Shanghai, has also been greatly affected, and the love of Nanjing citizens for Peking Opera is not lost to Tianjin.

No, when the news of Meng Xiaodong's coming to Nanjing to watch the Games came out, she immediately received countless invitations to perform, and the owner of the World Theater even paid a huge amount of money to invite her to sing a special performance.

Zhou Hexuan and the others waited for about 20 minutes, and the more than 900 seats in the audience were basically filled.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the performance officially began.

The first play is the famous drama "Fishing and Killing Home" by Yu School, Li Jun and Ni Rong are both famous actors in Nanjing, and a few words of recitation ushered in bursts of applause from the audience.

Soon the first game ended, Li Jun and Ni Rong left the field at the same time, and Xiao Guiying and Xiao En were ready to play.

The sound of the Xipi guide sounded, and Xiao Guiying's female voice came out from the backstage: "Swinging the boat is like an arrow!" ”

"Huh?"

"This Xiao Guiying can't do it."

"Who played it?"

"What the hell?"

“……”

When senior theater fans heard Xiao Guiying's singing, they all felt inappropriate, because his basic skills were not at home.

At this moment, Xiao En and Xiao Guiying recited "Hold the Helm" at the same time, and then the "father and daughter" rocked the "boat" together.

The audience instantly became silent, no one made a sound, and some of the audience who ate melon seeds were stunned, and the melon seeds fell from their hands without realizing it.

It turned out that the Hua Dan actor who played Xiao Guiying didn't have oil paint on his face, and he could see at a glance that he was a foreigner beauty, which made the audience feel incredible - foreigners can also sing Peking Opera?

The foreign beauty on the stage is naturally Vivien Leigh, and she continues to sing: "The rolling river is rolling over the waves!" ”

"Good!"

"Well sung!"

"Look!"

“……”

The audience responded violently, and countless audiences cheered loudly, as if they were really popular celebrities singing just now.

Vivien Li's Peking Opera has only been studied for half a year, and of course she doesn't sing well, and fans with a little appreciation can hear the flaws. But I can't stand that Vivien Li is a foreigner, and a foreigner actually came to sing our quintessence of Peking Opera, which instantly satisfied the audience's vanity.

Vivien Leigh sang two more sentences, and the audience boiled, cheers accompanied by applause for a long time.

"Son!"

Meng Xiaodong's Sean said a word, and then sang: "Father and daughter fish under the river, even if people laugh at us!" Gui Ying'er held the helm steadily, and her father cast the net ......"

"Good!"

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

If Vivien Li's performance just now can score 60 points, then Meng Xiaodong's performance can score 120 points, and the on-site appeal is directly overwhelming.

After hearing Meng Xiaodong's singing, many senior fans were so excited that they stood up and slapped directly. As a result, the audience behind them could not see the performance, and they also stood up, and more than half of the more than 900 spectators stood up.

Many audience members simply stood and watched the whole play, their voices were hoarse, and their palms were hurting.

When Meng Xiaodong left the stage, the audience spontaneously shouted in unison: "Winter Emperor! Winter Emperor! Winter Emperor! ”

The second play was staged soon, Meng Xiaodong and Vivien Leigh did not appear, and they were recuperating backstage to prepare for the performance of the third play.

Basically, every time they appear, they can cause the audience to boil, Vivien Li received courtesy applause, and Meng Xiaodong won the audience's heartfelt admiration.

Towards the end of the evening, the finale is over, and only the last big one remains.

At this time, the theater manager suddenly ran out and made a cameo appearance as the emcee and said: "Today's big axis is a new play, co-written by Mr. Zhou Hexuan, the author of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", the owner of the Zhu Building, an internationally renowned scholar, and Miss Meng Xiaodong, a veteran and famous actor. Please enjoy the new drama "Madame Blossom"! ”

As soon as everyone heard that it was a new play, and it was a new drama jointly written by Zhou Hexuan, Meng Xiaodong, and Li Shoumin, everyone immediately came to their senses.

In addition to being a swordsman, Li Shoumin also has an identity as a playwright. For example, "The Drunkard" written by Li Shoumin some time ago, starring the famous actor Ye Shengzhang, always causes a full house, and will be adapted into the film and television drama "The Drunken Man" decades later.

Shang Xiaoyun's representative work "Concubine Han Ming" is also written by Li Shoumin, and he will also write famous Peking Opera and Sichuan Opera works such as "Lin Siniang", "Mo Dai", and "Qiujiang".

The new play "Mrs. Flower" is currently being staged, with Zhou Hexuan providing the general plot, Li Shoumin is responsible for writing the chanting section, and Meng Xiaodong finally makes slight changes (mainly to conform to the characteristics of the Yu School's performance).

The plot of this play is as follows: The Emperor of Later Shu worked hard to conquer the country of Shu, and the emperor died violently in a few months, and the throne passed to the hands of the later lord Meng Chang. Meng Chang sang songs day and night, drank wine night and night, habitually favored the courtesans of the teaching workshop, the lyricist and the guest, and the Shu Kingdom did not move the army for ten years, with the illusion of peace and happiness. Suddenly, one day, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to attack, and the whole Shu country was terrified, and more than 100,000 Shu troops surrendered without a fight, and Meng Xu and Mrs. Hua Rui were reduced to prisoners. Zhao Kuangyin quickly poisoned Meng Chang to death because he fell in love with Mrs. Hua Rui, Meng Chang's mother (the Empress Dowager of Shu) died of hunger strike, and Mrs. Hua Rui also committed suicide by drinking poison.

The storyline is basically taken from real history, but it adds a lot of private goods, all kinds of allusions to the current Nationalist government and its bureaucracy. As the heroine, Mrs. Blossom has undergone a major change in the ending, and the historical Lady Blossom died because she was involved in the battle for the throne, and was changed by Zhou Hexuan to follow her deceased husband.

In this play, Meng Xiaodong plays the role of Meng Chang, the queen of Shu, and Vivien Li plays the role of Mrs. Hua Rui.

At the beginning, the fans were still applauding, but as they acted, many people scolded. Because the plot of Shu is indulged in pleasure and does not want to make progress, it is too similar to the situation during the Republic of China, and it is easy for the audience to think of reality.

Especially in the face of Zhao Kuangyin's attack, more than 100,000 Shu troops surrendered without a fight, which was clearly an allusion to the decline of the Northeast and the policy of non-resistance.

"The flag was lowered on the tree in the king's city, how did the concubine know in the deep palace? 140,000 people were disarmed, and not a single man was a man. When Vivien Leigh's Madame Blossom sang a desperate poem in a strange tone, the angry patriots stood up and shouted all sorts of slogans.

"Down with the traitors!"

"Resist Japan and save the country, return my rivers and mountains!"

"140,000 people were disarmed, and not a single man was a man. The Northeast Army is all eggless cowards, go out to kill the enemy! ”

"Long live China!"

"Kill all the Oriental dogs!"

“……”

The entire theater has been chaotic, and the audience's patriotic sentiments have been completely aroused.

Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but think: As soon as this drama becomes popular, Lao Jiang is afraid that he will come to trouble me again.
