Chapter 33 To be honest, I have a book
So that's what happened!
Liu Mingqi nodded slightly.
Speaking of this, everyone is quite arrogant!
But they also have the capital to be proud.
This is like those respected actors from another era. You have too much money and you must have a script that can impress them so that they can agree to appear.
If there is no good script, they would rather rest than trample on their acting skills for money.
Liu Mingqi likes actors like this very much.
So he also had a good impression of everyone Xiao.
If a person knows to stick to some bottom line, then this person is very interesting and worth dating.
Princess Yu also continued at this time: "Everyone Xiao counts one, isn't Qiuxian the same? The number of scenes she performed dramatically in the past two years, and she can only hear two or three shows in a month. I see, if there is no good book, she may not be able to withdraw in a long time."
"Who said no?"
As a veteran fan, Prince Yu couldn't help but sigh, "But those people are really idiots. They always rely on the dramas that have been stumbled over decades and hundreds of years ago. How could there be any new ideas? Not to mention that the Nine Immortals are annoyed to perform, even if I watch them!"
Liu Mingqi has heard of the word Nine Immortals. It is said that nine top-notch figures in the opera industry, including five men and four women, are called Nine Immortals of Opera together. They have a very high status in the opera industry and even among the people.
The governance of the Dakang Dynasty was relatively relaxed and encouraged everyone to have a better leisure life. Therefore, the opera industry is very developed. It is said that there are no less than a hundred opera troupes in Beijing, most of which are overcrowded and full every day.
In addition, the same is true in the wealthy Jiangnan area. Thousands of opera troupes of all sizes have produced a lot of talents.
Several of the Nine Immortals are actually in the south of the Yangtze River, not all in the capital.
If these people come to Beijing to perform operas, every show will be full, and they don’t have to worry about the source of customers even after several months of opening.
On the other hand, the group of Nine Immortals bosses from the Imperial Capital Mansion can also receive such treatment when they go to Jiangnan, and even be invited directly to their homes in the form of a reservation by those super rich people to sing a three-day play for their families.
Liu Mingqi followed his father's words with emotion: "If you cannot innovate, the attractiveness of these operas will decrease, thus losing a large number of audiences. If there are fewer audiences, it will lead to the reduction of people entering the industry. Without a strong foundation, the number of outstanding actors will also decrease. This will not attract people to watch. After a vicious cycle is formed, the industry will be over."
He has never experienced the decline of opera, but the decline of crosstalk has actually the same truth, even including his favorite Hong Kong films, the same is true.
King Yu listened to his son's speculation, his face became even more sad, obviously worried about how he would live his life in the future.
King Yu is not an ambitious person, and the same is true in business.
Which prince is like him, who doesn’t do business at all, and his wife can’t stand it anymore, so she opened five restaurants to do some business?
There are more than just this kind of business dealings in an ordinary small town.
The Liwang’s grain transactions were from Jiangnan to Jingji area. King Rui’s usury also ran throughout the entire Jingji area. King Su’s jade transactions were also very big. King Yi and the barbarians in the northwest were doing business with cattle, sheep and horses. None of them were better than King Yu, the youngest.
King Yu himself doesn't care.
His favorite thing on weekdays is listening to operas or famous fans in the capital. He has protected the rights and interests of a group of opera troupes and has been respected by all the headmasters and famous actors.
Princess Yu saw his expression in his eyes and felt a little distressed.
My husband likes to listen to operas. This hobby is so simple that it cannot be more simple than the quirks of many royal relatives and nobles.
Besides, although he liked those beauties and famous actors, he never had anything to do with them. Even if there were any ones delivered to him, he didn't want them.
With this alone, Princess Yu supports her husband's hobby very much.
Seeing his frowning look, Princess Yu accidentally saw her leisurely son, and an instant flash of inspiration in her mind, "Qi'er, God has turned on your intelligence. Can you write a good opera book?"
There are many stories about the Dakang Dynasty. If someone who is good at writing stories takes them to the bookstore, they can sell them at a few dozen taels of silver and as many as thousands of taels of silver.
It’s no joke to meet a very famous family who is a wealthy person.
Countless ladies and wives have relied on dozens of different words every year to spend their daily life.
Of course, the more manifestation of the storyteller is still the storyteller.
After they get the storybook, they will figure it out for a while, and then interpret it in a storytelling way and gain the love of the audience.
The storyteller's business was more prosperous than opera in the Dakang Dynasty. At least 100,000 people were engaged in this business. There were stories about storyteller's business in some small towns where opera could not be visited.
But there is one thing.
Opera can be used as a storyteller, but many storyteller scripts cannot be adapted into opera.
After all, the requirements for opera are very strict. In ancient times, it was considered high-end, atmospheric and high-end entertainment. All stories such as vulgarity and taboos cannot appear.
There have been no stories about it before. The very popular storytelling book was adapted into an opera repertoire, but in the end no one supported it, causing great losses.
Among the people who specialize in opera, there must be many professional writers.
But there are only so many myths and folk legends they can find. Over the past few hundred years, all the good stories they can write have been written. Many of the new ones have no basis for folk circulating, so of course they are not very popular.
Over time, these ordinary opera teams can also sing, but the top players look down on them and are unwilling to surrender such ordinary repertoire.
To put it bluntly, how can people who sing classic songs for a long time still watch low-end songs?
Singing is embarrassing, losing your word!
...
Originally, Princess Yu asked her son, just casually, but she didn't have any special expectations.
Because Liu Mingqi has been fond of catching birds in trees and fishing in rivers since she was a child, and she has no talent for "literary" at all.
But now that his son happened to be present, Princess Yu asked this question.
But she didn't expect that Liu Mingqi really had a story!
The boy looked at his father with a melancholy face, scratched his head and said, "Dad, I'll sing a song for you."
As he said that, Liu Mingqi sang: "The mountains are opposite to the mountains, and the cliffs are opposite to the cliffs, and bees collect flowers from the deep mountains. The bees originally died for collecting flowers, and Liang Shanbo was Zhu Yingtai."
"How is it?" he asked.
King Yu hesitated for a moment, "The tune is very good and the singing is in a proper manner..."
Then Princess Yu immediately exposed it: "Come on, don't praise him randomly. Just his voice will ruin the songs."
Liu Mingqi's voice was average in his previous life. In this life, his voice was not only not thick, but also slightly sharp. In professional terms, it is "thin vocal cords" and has no talent for singing.
He has this weakness in both lives, which makes Liu Mingqi, who once had a dream of Dehua, look helpless, "I'm asking you to listen to the content of this song! Content! Have you heard the last sentence? Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai!"
"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?" King Yu shook his head, "Who are they?"
"Have you heard of it in opera? Isn't it a famous opera character?" Liu Mingqi asked happily.
"No." King Yu shook his head, "I have listened to Xiao Twenty years of opera, and I have never heard the names of these two people."
"That's good!"
Liu Mingqi clapped her hands, "I'm...well, dad, I'll give you a notebook within three days. You go to Xiao everyone. After she read the notebook, she will definitely not want to retire again."
King Yu has listened to the dramas that have been around for decades, and he has listened to all of them more than twice.
Since he said he had never heard of it, it was naturally impossible for these two people to appear on the stage.
That proves again that the two worlds are very different.
King Yu looked at his son and said nothing, but his expression "I don't believe in you" was completely visible.
If some literary masters said this, King Yu would still think it was reliable, but if he had not understood anything other than reading words, he would be a fool if he believed it.
The boy didn't explain much and hurriedly ran out.
There is no need to explain to ordinary people like Dad.
If a super classic like "Battle of Liang" could not become popular in ancient times, it would have blinded the eyes of the people of Dakang Dynasty!
My master, I will be the king of bombs as soon as I take action. I am really afraid of the super frenzy that will be triggered!
...
Note: The name "天" was called "天" in ancient times, and was originally recorded in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Ban Zhao". "The emperor summoned him to the palace several times and ordered the empress and other nobles to work in it, and called him "天"."
There is also Volume 3 of Zhao Lin's "Records of Inscriptions" in the Tang Dynasty: "We are a little upset last night and we are waiting for people."
I personally think that the ancient words are very elegant. Compared with today's "Miss", "Miss", "Mrs.", etc., the grade seems to be a world of difference.
I still remember that I first saw this title. It was used by Mr. Huang Yi for Ji Yanran and Ji everyone. Now the teacher has already passed away, and I only sighed thousands of times and cherished it.
