Chapter 403: A Peking Opera Actor and a Gangster Become Friends of Life and Death (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
Pei Yanzhi looked at the audience listening with relish, and he was quite proud in his heart, it seems that he is really a little storyteller.
"Just like the magic capital, when I went to the magic capital, I had to go to meet Du Yuesheng first, Huang Jinrong was a big gangster, a rich man, there was such a story back then, back then, my master, Master Ma Lianliang went to the magic capital for the first time, at that time, he was high-spirited, and after arriving in the magic capital, someone told him that you have to visit Du Yuesheng Du Boss, but Master Ma was arrogant at the time, so he didn't go, not only did he not visit Du Yuesheng, but he didn't even invite the bosses of those big newspapers.
As a result, although Du Yuesheng didn't care, but the bosses of those newspapers were full of righteous indignation, although you Ma Lianliang was famous in the capital, but when you came to our magic capital, you dared to be so arrogant, then we have to see who can't stand it. As a result, at that time, all the newspapers in the magic capital did not publish the news that Ma Lianliang came to the magic capital, and many people in the magic capital did not know that Ma Lianliang came to the magic capital to sing, but with his outstanding ability and extraordinary talent, he still sold a full house, but after singing, the newspaper of the entire magic capital still could not see the news of Master Ma Lianliang, even if there was, it was in the corner, the size of a small tofu block, and Ma Lianliang came to the magic capital to sing, but the level was average, and it was all slander. β
Hearing this, the audience below was all unhappy for Master Ma Lianliang for a while.
Pei Yanzhi continued, " However, there is a local rich man who likes the art of Master Ma Lianliang very much, and feels very ashamed and dissatisfied with the behavior of the magic capital media, so he directly bought dozens of tickets and personally sent them to the home of the owners of several big newspapers in the magic capital at that time, hoping that they can come to listen to the play, this rich man is also very energetic, and the bosses of these newspapers do not want to offend him, so he took a lot of people to watch the play, and after the master Ma Lianliang finished playing, the rich man invited these people to a restaurant, a big banquet, three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the rich man asked, what do you think of Ma Lianliang's playγ
These people are also people who know how to play, they take other people, they eat others, if they talk about their ambiguity, they are a bit too much, they are all scene people, so everyone says that they sing well, and they are really famous actors.
When the rich man heard this, he was angry, since it is so good, why don't you publish a word in your newspaper, even if it does, it is slandered in all kinds of ways, what is the reason.
The bosses of these newspapers also smiled wryly and said, Boss Ma's play is indeed good, but he also doesn't take us seriously, he doesn't even invite us to a meal when he comes to the magic capital, and he wants us to say good things, this is too bullying, the so-called strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, even if you are a dragon crossing the river, can't we afford to provoke and hide?
As soon as he said this, the rich man was also dumbfounded, it turned out that this was the case, so he found Master Ma Lianliang and told the old man these words, Master Ma also smiled slightly, and finally compromised, after all, he came to the devil to make a name, not to fight with others, since the other party has already said soft words, he can't hold on to it like this, so he set up a table, and asked all the newspaper bosses together, this rich man accompanies him, and the next day, all the newspapers published the news that Master Ma Lianliang became famous in the magic capitalγ β
Pei Yanzhi sighed and said, "Have you seen it, even if it is an artist as big as my master, he still has to go to worship the dock, otherwise, even if he sang in the magic capital for a month and the venue was full, but there can be a few people in each show, and when he leaves, he must be unknown, just like he has never come, and if the bosses of those newspapers are bad, after my master leaves, they will publish in the newspaper 'Ma Lianliang folded the halberd and returned home', which will be a huge blow to the reputation of the old man." β
The audience in the audience is all with different thoughts, this kind of thing really makes people feel bad when they hear it, the dark side of society!
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "Speaking of Du Yuesheng, we have to mention another big man in the Peking Opera industry, that is, Mr. Yu Shuyan, in 1931, Du Yuesheng held a Peking Opera event in the magic capital where the Du Temple was completed. The four famous Dan's were all invited, and my grandfather Mr. Ma Lianliang also went, basically the most famous big horns at that time arrived, but this Mr. Yu Shuyan did not go, at that time Yu Shuyan also received an invitation from Du Yuesheng, but Yu Shuyan said, I won't go this time, thank you Boss Du for your hospitality, but what kind of character is Du Yuesheng, and this time the completion of the Du Temple should be the most proud thing in his life, before Mr. Ma Lianliang did not worship the pier is just a trivial matter for him, but this time, but he values the most thing, so Du Yuesheng said a word at that time, if Mr. Yu does not come this time, don't come to the magic capital in the future. β
The audience gasped, what kind of character is Du Yuesheng, when the Du Temple was completed, even the chairman of the committee personally wrote a plaque of "filial piety", and many of the high-level dignitaries of the Kuomintang were present at the scene, which can be described as a star-studded gathering.
Du Yuesheng's sentence directly ruined the possibility of Yu Shuyan coming to the magic capital to sing.
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "And that Mr. Yu Shuyan is also tough, and replied, I would rather not sing in the magic capital in this life, and I won't come this time." It's so hard, arrogant, it's the same as me!"
Originally, when everyone admired Mr. Yu Shuyan's noble quality, the shameless Pei Yanzhi actually added such a sentence, which made everyone boo dissatisfied.
Pei Yanzhi continued as if he was fine, " In fact, it was because Mr. Yu's health was not good at that time, and his body was not very good, so he was not active on the stage for a long time, only about ten years, and in 1931, Mr. Yu had not been on stage to sing for three or four years, so when Du Yuesheng sent him an invitation, Mr. Yu was actually sick, so he didn't want to go, but Du Yuesheng didn't care about Mr. Yu's health, so he wanted to force him to perform with wordsAs a result, since then, Mr. Yu has never been to the magic capital to sing!"
One of the audience members asked a little puzzled, "Boss Pei, didn't you say that Mr. Yu was no longer on stage at that time, so what's the point of going to the magic capital?"
Pei Yanzhi nodded with some joy, he liked the audience who used his brains like this, so he was so funny, and said, "You just got to the point, after listening to the story just now, some people will say that Mr. Yu is no longer singing, what's the big deal if he doesn't go to the magic capital to sing in the future!"
Many of the audience in the audience nodded, thinking that this is the reason, just like a certain big star said that I will quit the film industry from now on, stop filming, and never act again, but someone threatened him, I have a birthday, if you don't come, your movie will not be played with us in the future.
No one is acting, what's the use of your threat!
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, " In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Peking Opera actors, Peking Opera actors generally do not sing in the opera garden when they reach a certain time, or a certain level, because they have an identity, and this kind of small opera garden drama is not sung, and Mr. Yu Shuyan, although the outside drama is not sung, but people still should be in the church of some big rich people, why Du Yuesheng invited him, it is because he has also been invited to sing in the hall before, but this time Mr. Yu Shuyan is a little sick and doesn't want to travel far away!"
With such an explanation, the audience below understands.
An audience member said, "By the way, Yu Degang of the Dezheng Society is no longer participating in the performance of the small theater, is it because of this reason?"
Pei Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Let's just say that, after all, my senior brother Degang is now one of the top two names in the cross talk world, and I want to listen to him for twenty yuan, which doesn't match his identity, and he is now worth at least twenty-five years!"
The audience below all laughed, feeling that Yu De was just going to be present, and he had to fight with Pei Yanzhi, who was worth twenty-five, and thirty was not good.
Pei Yanzhi smiled slightly and said, "So, this worship dock is very necessary, especially those actors who do not have a backstage, when you get to a place, you have to go to worship the pier, and the benefits of worshipping the pier also benefit you a lot, I will tell you a story of Jinmen, this is a real person and a real story of the year, no joke at all, it is about a local gangster and a Peking Opera actor who became friends of life and death." β
The audience's eyes widened, such a story is so fascinating, a gangster actually became good friends with a Peking Opera actor, and they were friends of life and death, which was so interesting.
Pei Yanzhi said, "This Peking Opera actor is called Xiao Yang Yuelou, in the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China, the Dragon King entered Jinmen, and all the large and small houses were flooded, Xiao Yang Yuelou and his troupe were all trapped in the Qingyun Theater in Nanshi, in that case, who still watches the play, more than 20 people, all living on the stage, this is a few months, there is no entry, but more than 20 people eat horses, this is not a small amount of money, but there is no money in hand, so they can only mortgage more than a dozen boxes of props to the pawnshop. After the water recedes, the train is opened, Xiao Yang Yuelou is going back to the magic capital next, and he is about to leave, the tickets have been bought, but there is no money to redeem it, what should I do, how can you sing if you don't have a line!"
The audience in the audience all agreed, yes, Pei Yanzhi also said in the last issue, the costumes of Peking Opera actors are battle robes, so the props are equivalent to the armor and weapons on the battlefield, you take everything, are you going to die?
Pei Yanzhi continued, "But Xiao Yang Yuelou can be in a hurry, so anxious that he has a toothache, his cheeks are swollen, and he eats thirty catties and fifty catties of fire medicine!"
I'll go, take medicine for thirty pounds and fifty pounds, and the elephant can't stand it!
"The boss of the opera garden is a warm-hearted person, as soon as he saw Xiao Yang Yuelou like this, he quietly told him, you have to find Li Jinhua for this matter, this uncle is righteous, and he takes righteousness as his life, with your fame, this will definitely help!"
"If you want to say who is this Li Jinwei, a famous hooligan in Jinmen, a gangster, although this person is a hooligan, but for the word righteousness, it is more important than life, Xiao Yang Yuelou has never dealt with these people, although he has heard of Li Jinwei, but today there is no way, Xiao Yang Yuelou gritted his teeth and found Li Jinhua. β
After Xiao Yang Yuelou saw Li Jinhua, he didn't dare to recognize it, because although this master said that he was a gangster, and he was also very rich, but the place where he lived was a very dilapidated house, and the things in the house were all ordinary people, and after he came out, he was also dressed very shabby, and after seeing Xiao Yang Yuelou, Li Jinwei frowned and asked him who he was. The guy who followed Xiao Yang Yuelou stepped forward to introduce Xiao Yang Yuelou's identity, and explained the intention. β
"Li Jinhua hugged his fists at that time, you came to Tianjin to sing, it is the blessing of our Tianjin people's ears, this matter is wrapped up in me, how can you be wronged, you will go to the pawnshop at noon tomorrow to pull your things!
Li Jinhua turned his head and went to the pawnshop, shouted when he entered the door, the shopkeeper came out, I Li Jinhua had something to discuss, and I was so scared that the guy hurried to find the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper didn't know what was wrong, such a big hooligan came to you, it is estimated that he was going to blackmail money, and he came out tremblingly, and asked Li Jinhua to go upstairs to drink tea, but Li Jinhua waved his hand and said, I have a friend named Xiao Yang Yuelou, and there are a few drama boxes bet on you. After speaking, Li Jinhua turned his head and left. β
The audience in the audience was also shocked by Li Jinhua's domineering attitude and tone, wow, this is really hard, it is really a hooligan, and they can't help but prick up their ears, wanting to listen to the following story and see if Li Jinhua's words work.
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "At noon the next day, Xiao Yang Yuelou had no choice but to come to the pawnshop to try his luck, in case it could be done, there was really no way, as a result, as soon as I arrived at the pawnshop, I saw that my coat boxes, second suitcases, three suitcases or something, were all placed in the pawnshop, the shopkeeper waited for a long time, Xiao Yang Yuelou was dizzy and handed over the pawn ticket to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper called the guy to help, and sent all these boxes to the place where Xiao Yang Yuelou lived. When Xiao Yang Yuelou arrived at the place where he lived, he woke up like a dream, and when he saw these drama boxes, he sighed, Li Jinwei, he is really a righteous man, and he is not grateful, Xiao Yang Yuelou kept this matter in his heart, and took someone to the magic capital by train!"
