Chapter 440: A Gathering of International Young Musicians
In the Modu dialect, Nong is what you mean, and the meaning of this name is "Wang Guifen laughs at you", and since then, he has used Wang Xiaonong as his name, and finally founded the genre of Wang Pai Laosheng.
According to the record of the literary and historical writer Xu Muyun in "The Outer Chronicle of the Pear Garden", Wang Xiaonong has to smoke two taels of ointment every day. Before he got up every day, he looked like a dead man, and his aunt had a big cigarette in her mouth and puffed a few puffs of smoke on his face before she could "live" herself and squirm a little. Then pour him some ginseng soup, and then put the burned cigarette gun into his mouth, and after he closed his eyes and smoked more than a dozen mouthfuls, he could slowly open his eyes and speak, get dressed and get out of bed. After washing, lie down and light a cigarette, which is called formal smoking, and smoke more than ten tubes before eating breakfast.
It took more than an hour to get out of bed. All theaters know about his problem, so whenever he acts, he has to give his aunt some money first, lest she is unwilling to serve wholeheartedly or urge Boss Wang to come backstage early.
There is also a big horn who smokes big cigarettes, that is Tan Xinpei, who is not only the king of the Peking Opera industry, but also a master-level figure who smokes big cigarettes, you can not eat or drink, but you can't smoke opium.
At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was a big drama fan, and often had to invite these famous actors to sing in the palace, once, she gave a banquet to the Summer Palace, and ordered someone to summon Tan Xinpei and other famous actors to sing in the palace, and for a while Yang Xiaolou and other famous actors arrived, only Tan Xinpei did not arrive.
Prince Su Shanqi personally went to Tan's Mansion to explore the reason, and Tan Xinpei expressed his bitterness: "Now that the Ming edict bans smoking, the princes are quitting smoking, I am an addicted person, I don't smoke enough, and I can't sing anymore." Shanqi replied to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother smiled and said: "What should I be? It turns out that it is just for the sake of smoking, so what's the hindrance, just let him enter the palace to smoke, as long as he sings well, I will also send two eunuchs to fill cigarettes for him!" Shanqi told Tan Xinpei, and Boss Tan was overjoyed.
Since then, although the smoking ban has been strict, Tan Xinpei has been ordered to smoke, and no one dares to come to ban it. For the sake of one's own preference, the law of the country is a child's play, and this smoking ban is doomed to failure.
Yu Shuyan, the founder of the Yu School, studied under Tan Xinpei, and when Tan Xinpei taught Yu Shuyan to sing, he leaned sideways on the couch and used a big smoking gun to give Yu Shuyan guidance.
At that time, Mr. Mei Lanfang often went abroad to perform, the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan have been there, Mr. Cheng Yanqiu has also been to France, some people asked Yu Shuyan why he didn't go to perform abroad, Yu Shuyan said bluntly, I don't want to go to these countries in the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan, but India can be discussed, when asked why, Yu Shuyan said, India has a lot of soil, I can enjoy it!
It turns out that people don't go to those countries because they are afraid that there will be no opium smoking!
And at that time, the servants smoked opium, just like the excuses of today's celebrities, to refresh and decompress and find inspiration.
Pei Yanzhi back then, under the influence of his master, was also contaminated with this vice, so he knew the harm of poison, and he could be deeply affected by this back then, so mentioning this poisonous word now will make Pei Yanzhi uncomfortable and afraid of poison.
"It's time to eat!" came the gentle voice of the master from the kitchen.
Pei Yanzhi responded and said, "Senior sister, don't think about it, eat first, and then talk about it when you go back after eating!"
After speaking, Pei Yanzhi stood up and went to the kitchen to help.
Pei Yanzhi walked to the kitchen door, with a salivating look, and said with a smile, "Master's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"
Liu Xiangjun looked at Pei Yanzhi with a kind face and said, "Then eat more later, don't give me the leftovers!"
Pei Yanyi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can't finish eating, and what about Senior Sister, Senior Sister's amount of food, Senior Sister, you also know!
Sun Yaqi gave Pei Yanzhi a kick in the ass behind him, and said angrily, "Good dog doesn't get in the way, get out of the way!"
Pei Yanzhi hurriedly walked into the kitchen and prepared to serve rice.
Sun Yaqi scolded, "Have you washed your hands, come and serve food!"
Pei Yanzhi smiled wryly, retracted his hand, looked at Liu Xiangjun with an aggrieved face, and said, "Senior sister, senior sister yells at me!"
Liu Xiangjun was also amused by Pei Yanzhi's performance, pursed his lips and said, "Don't play tricks, hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
Pei Yanyi saw that his coquettish Dafa didn't work, and couldn't help but be a little depressed, looking at the senior sister with horizontal eyebrows, he hurriedly lowered his head and said flatteringly, "Senior sister yelled at me, that's my fault, I'll change it, I'll wash my hands now!"
Looking at Pei Yanzhi, who was running away, Liu Xiangjun and Sun Yaqi also looked at each other and smiled, and came to the dining room with the dishes.
......
A month later, the whole of China was in a carnival.
Because the "International Young Music Masters Exchange and Art Show" is about to start in Beijing.
Young musicians from various countries have come to China.
A ball to welcome these young musicians was held at the State Guesthouse.
Seeing that a large number of young musicians from abroad have gathered here, Pei Yanzhi is also a little dizzying, but what makes Pei Yanzhi a little curious is that he is not a young musician, a few guys over there who are full of vicissitudes of life, at first glance, look like they are fifty or sixty years old, how did they get in.
Pei Yan sat on the side of the seat, holding a glass of water in his hand, looking at Dong Tianqing not far away, chatting with several female singers from foreign countries with smiles on his face.
Don't look at Dong Qianqing, who has been hidden in the snow for a few years, but Dong Tingqing was also a smash hit female singer in the Asia-Pacific region back then.
"Yanzhi, why are you sitting here alone!" a familiar voice came from the side.
Pei Yanzhi looked back, and Dong Zhou walked to his side with a smile, gestured the cup in his hand to Pei Yanzhi, and asked with some curiosity, "What is in your cup, liquor?"
Pei Yanzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "It's white water!"
Dong Zhou looked at Pei Yanzhi and said with a strange expression, "You're not mistaken, this is a drinking party, even if you don't drink, just take a glass of champagne!"
Seeing Dong Chou and Pei Yanzhi chatting together, Dong poured out his feelings and confessed to the people around him, holding his evening dress in one hand and holding a red wine glass in the other, and as soon as he walked over, he heard Dong Chou's words.
Dong poured a smile and said, "Dong Zhou, don't persuade him to drink, when he came, his senior sister told him not to let Yanzhi drink, this is a rule jointly made by several masters of their family, before the age of thirty, you are absolutely not allowed to drink." ”
Zhou Dong looked at Pei Yanzhi with a strange smile on his face, and said, "Ho, your rules are really strict, no wonder Peking Opera is the first in China, there are such strict regulations, admire!"
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "It's not so mysterious, I estimate that I am the only one in the entire Peking Opera industry who has been banned from alcohol, who called the master behind me to be big!"
Looking at Pei Yanzhi with a stunned face, Dong poured affection and said with a smile, "Yes, it's too big, your current status in the Peking Opera industry is simply not a second person, and you will be the one who bears the flag in the Peking Opera industry in the future!"
Pei Yanzhi shook his head and said, "I'm still young, what flag to carry, how tired I am, and my senior sister!"
Dong was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Did you say Yaqi, Yaqi is not from your Peking Opera industry now, what's the use of her!"
Pei Yanzhi coughed lightly and said, "Our senior sister of the Mei faction, Senior Sister Li Zhengsu!"
Dong sneered and said, "It turns out that the senior sister in Yan Zhixin is Li Zhengsu, it seems that our family Yaqi can only be ranked behind her!"
Pei Yan begged for mercy with a face, "Miss Dong, don't do this, Senior Sister will kill me!"
Dong poured a smug look and said with a smile, "Whatever I do, you won't kill me, unless you write me another good song, I will help you keep it secret!"
Pei Yanyi said with a dejected face, "Didn't I write a song for you this time, I am greedy...... Well, it's hard to chew too much!"
Dong squinted his eyes, looked dangerous, and said, "Did you just want to say that you are insatiable!"
Pei Yanzhi said righteously, "How can it be, Miss Dong has a good mind and will never do this kind of thing to bully juniors, I'm just afraid that you will be distracted!"
Dong Qianqing frowned and said, "Why do you always think that you kid has something to say, but, then again, the song you wrote for me this time is really good, I am very satisfied!"
Dong Chou listened to the words of these two people on the side, and said with a smile, "Originally, I was still a little worried about what song to sing in this performance, because none of my songs were about charity, who knew that Yanzhi sent me a song, which made me suddenly shocked, it is really a rare golden song, Yanzhi, brother thank you here!"
Pei Yanzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Dong Chou is polite, after all, this performance is in our country, and it is the first one, so I racked my brains, searched my stomach, and came up with three songs, hoping to be a blockbuster in this performance!"
Dong poured affection and said with a smile on the side, "I believe everything else you say, but you said that you racked your brains, searched your intestines, and thought hard to write three songs, this is too fake!"
Zhou Dong also laughed and said, "Yes, who doesn't know you, Pei Yanzhi, a famous fast gunner in the music world, only three songs, it is estimated that it will take you three hours!"
Pei Yan looked like he had been played, and said weakly, "Blow, you can blow it, the two major Chinese music superstars maliciously touted a rookie in the music world, is this a moral degradation or a distortion of the soul!"
Looking at the funny Pei Yanzhi, Dong and Chou Dong also laughed one after another.
Not far away, a woman holding the moon with stars was wearing a purple low-cut evening dress, a huge jewel on her chest was shining, a shallow smile on her face, and she looked gentle and amiable.
