Text Chapter 816 Butcher Bar
At that time, the citizens of the magic capital were really eager for Peking Opera, and they were very sought after for famous actors, and the famous characters in Peking Opera began to attract the attention of the audience and became the objects sought after by fans, and the publicity of the characters in the society has also become a kind of atmosphere and trend, from the high-ranking officials and nobles, to the common people, the praise of the horns has become a fanatic.
Among them, the businessman is the backbone of the horn, because the horn needs money, and the merchant is poor and there is money left, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the rich people spend money in the theater, the word "gold cave" refers to the theater at the earliest.
During the Republic of China, the magic capital was the financial center of China, and there were many financial talents, and they were also obsessed with the pursuit of famous Peking Opera characters, and often spent a lot of money.
The literati are also an important force in the promotion of the horns, although the economic strength of the literati is poor, but the literati have pen and ink as a killer weapon, their power can not be underestimated, not only can make a famous person's reputation plummet, but also make the down-and-out become famous in one fell swoop, and turn things around at a critical moment.
Another group that has won the corner is the press, which attracts the public with all kinds of lace news anecdotes, whether good or bad, and increases the exposure.
There are also high-ranking officials, hooligan tycoons and other groups of celebrities, their way of holding the role is simpler: directly accept the famous characters as 'godsons' and 'godsons', listen to the drama when there is something, and go to bed to act if there is nothing to do. Tut, the 'Yuan Siye' played by Ge You in the movie "Farewell My Concubine" is exactly such a role.
Coupled with the ordinary citizens who are full of enthusiasm for their favorite famous characters, this constitutes an army of people who were popular in the past, and now those crazy fans who pursue idols in China are not these meansγγγγγγ There is nothing new, it is all left over from the old ancestorsγγγγγγ
Bad review!
Don't underestimate the power of these horn-bearers. They can lift people to incredible heights. Just like Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera performance, people gave him the nickname 'Mei Bancheng', which means that his wealth at that time could directly buy half of the imperial capital! Even if the pianist around him was even a dragon set, he could buy an entire alley in Kyoto.
Of course, Mei Lanfang is different from those stars who play big names when they make money, they live unassumingly, and they are attached to making friends and calligraphy and painting, at that time his fans were called 'Mei Dang', and the alley where Mei Lanfang lived was directly the most famous art salon in Kyoto at that time, and it was also a famous diplomatic placeγγγγγγ
And Mei Lanfang also has real skills, so far among the three major performance systems of world drama, there is Mei Lanfang's performance system. It's like the current little fresh meat, I don't know what drama I have acted in and what song I have sung, so I was held to the sky by others, and I got cramps when I made money.
Di Wei asked in a low voice, "Brother Peng, if you want to send flowers, you must at least tell me who to give them to, right?"
"Hey, you really gave me a great idea. That doesn't seem like a bad idea!"
"Ah, Brother Peng, don't make trouble, there are so many actors, even if you buy all the flowers in the whole of Boston now, it's not enough to give them away!" Di Wei was startled when he heard this.
"Just kidding, why are you so nervous. Xiao Pengle said.
Of course, Xiao Peng didn't send flowers to all the actors, but only gave one of them, the one he thought had the best performance.
"Brother Peng, your taste is too unique. Di Wei sighed after knowing who Xiao Peng was going to give the flowers to.
It's no wonder that he was surprised, because Xiao Peng asked him to give flowers to the performer of the 'bad witch' Ifba after the performance for a while.
And what does this Ifba actor look like? all green, can't recognize his true face at all, is quite tall, and his high heels can be one meter nine in height, Xiao Peng and the others are like they came out of Lilliputian compared to her.
Xiao Peng said: "You know a fart, she is the best performer in the whole play, she was a little nervous at the beginning, the more she acted, the more she let herself go, the more she acted, the more her true feelings were revealed, and she always felt that she was performing herself." I can't believe that this is an amateur actor's performance. I'd rather believe she's a professional Broadway actor. When they take a curtain call, you help me give her this bouquet of flowers. Paying my respects. β
Wen Jie nodded: "No problem, Brother Peng, don't worry about leaving this matter to me." With that, he turned and left. Xiao Peng continued to enjoy the musical.
Two and a half hours passed in a flash, and I have to say that this performance was very successful, the audience responded with warm applause, and the actors took the curtain four times just for the curtain call. Xiao Peng saw Di Wei running up to give flowers to 'Aifuba' and ran back again.
Xiao Peng stretched his waist and returned to the car with Di Wei, who was carrying an empty beer barrel.
"Let's go, go back to the hotel. "When they came, the two had already booked a hotel, near Boston Garden.
How do you know that Di Wei said: "Brother Peng, I really don't understand, where have you drunk so much wine? You have drunk a barrel of beer, and you have nothing to do? By the way, Brother Peng, are you tired now?"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "I'm not tired." What's wrong?"
Wen Jie said: "Let's go, Brother Peng, let's go to the 'butcher shop' and have a look." They all said that the 'butcher's shop' was great, I haven't been there yet, and today I got involved with you as a rich man. I'm going to open my eyes too. β
"Butcher shop?" Xiao Peng was puzzled, "There is also a place to sell meat at night?"
Wenjie explained: "The 'butcher' bar, one of the top 10 bars in the Stars and Stripes, is in Boston. β
Speaking of the top bars in the Stars and Stripes, it is different from what ordinary people imagine, and when Chinese people mention bars, the first thing that comes to mind is loud music, or it is the kind of small bar that surrounds the bar counter.
But the best bars in the Stars and Spangled Nation are characterised by their ability to provide a special atmosphere------ glamorous but not extravagant, and of course their long wine list and exotic regional cuisine, all handcrafted, set menus, and premium sommeliers that make your clubbing feel like a tourist. Of course, while enjoying the high-end, there is also a high price. Drinking here is not cheap.
However, these top bars are full of business, because each top bar will create a relaxed atmosphere for customers, and the customers in each top bar will establish a large and small social circle.
"Okay, you can drive. Xiao Peng said: "Take me to open my eyes." β
"Hehe, long live Brother Peng!" Di Wei looked happy, and drove Xiao Peng directly to the 'butcher's shop' bar.
Di Wei stopped the car and was about to get out of the car, but Xiao Peng grabbed him: "Wenjie, are you not mistaken? This is one of the top ten bars in the Stars and Stripes Country?"
Xiao Peng has not been to top bars, such as the 'Leila Bar' in New York, where the oval bar, starlit candles, and tinkling cans hanging on the ceiling at least look like a bar.
And the 'butcher bar' in front of him, I don't believe that this will be one of the top ten bars in the Stars and Stripes country! Xiao Peng feels more like a street fast food restaurant in Huaxia, with a total of two floors, bright lights, large floor-to-ceiling glass, and everything in the bar is clear at a glance.
Di Wei said: "Boss, that's right, because I want to come to Boston to give you a good tour guide, I specially asked my buddy in Boston to understand, he said that this is a traditional European bar, the wine here is carefully selected by the famous sommelier Carter Cyrillary from Italy, France and Spain, and the menu here is rich and varied, from manor hot dogs, to homemade sausages, from French cuisine to special casseroles." β
Xiao Peng was even more confused: "According to what you said, isn't this just a restaurant with plenty of drinks?"
Di Wei smiled: "Okay, it can be understood in this way. But it's true that you can drink hundreds of different kinds of wine here. β
"Alright, alright, let's go see. Xiao Peng and the others walked into the bar, Xiao Peng really felt embarrassed, this place is really too similar to a small restaurant in Huaxia.
Xiao Peng and the two arrived at the two-seater in the corner, and when the waiter handed over the wine list, Xiao Peng saw the difference here, there were at least three or four hundred kinds of wine on the wine list! And none of them were not top-quality wines, which made Xiao Peng interested, and he would not drink fake wine here.
Xiao Peng also wants to learn what he said in the old boy: 'Lao Tzu rinses his mouth with 82-year-old Lafite' once, but unfortunately, there is no 82-year-old Lafite here. The Stars and Stripes Country is not like China, the 82-year-old Lafite is full of roads, and if you want to buy the 82-year-old Lafite in the Stars and Stripes Country, in addition to the top wine cellars, you can only see it at the auction house. In China, any red wine counterfeiting point can be boughtγγγγγγ
And such a top bar, even if it has 82 years of Lafite, will not be put out for customers, because γγγγγγ The 82-year-old Lafite has long passed the drinking age, which means that the taste is not very good, and such a top bar pays attention to taste first, and it is a bit suspicious to smash its own brand of wine if it is offered to customersγγγγγγ
In China, many people think that 'Lafite' is the best red wine, but they don't know that there is no such thing as the best wine, because the ultimate criterion for judging the quality of wine is human taste. And there is no such thing as good or bad taste.
Take the famous Bordeaux regional winery in France, and the same first-class winery as ChΓ’teau Lafite, Mouton, Margaux, and Aubienne, and there is also the world's only super-first-class winery: ChΓ’teau Lysalus, these wineries have wines that are not inferior to or even exceed the quality of Lafite----- and the red wines of Lafite are also rated as full red wines in 1982, 1986 and 1996.
The Chinese people recognize Lafite, and the fake 'Lafite' in the Chinese market is flying all over the sky, since so many people are rushing to itγγγγγγ
Who is stupid who knows!
