Not to mention Zhang Chu, how many young people can calm down and watch Peking Opera now?

They can spend time buying tickets to go to a play, to an opera, to a musical, but they don't know much about their own cultural heritage.

Zhang Chu knew that the performance had been performed in the classic repertoire of Peking Opera, and he also knew this historical allusion, but he couldn't understand the actors' singing.

"The story of Farewell My Concubine, you know, right?" Xu Ji stuffed a melon seed into his mouth, looking very down-to-earth, very much like the kind of old man who watches CCTV opera channels in the countryside.

"I know for sure, but there's no research on the play. ”

At the end of Qin, Chu and Han contended, and Han Xin and Han Xin ordered Li Zuoche to surrender Xiang Yu and Xiang Yu to enter the army. Ambushed on ten sides of Jiuli Mountain and trapped Xiang Yu under the wall.

Xiang Yu couldn't break through, and he heard the songs on all sides, suspecting that the Chu army had surrendered to Han, and said goodbye to Yu Ji in the camp.

Yu Ji killed herself, Xiang Yu fought her way out of the encirclement, got lost, and went to Wujiang, feeling faceless to see Jiangdong's fathers and elders, and killed herself by the river!

This is a typical love tragedy, but at the same time, it is accompanied by military events, and the feelings are so strong that they exceed many love stories.

"Peking Opera is like liquor, if you only drink it once in your life, it is better not to drink it. Because the first time I drank it, I couldn't taste anything other than spicy. Now you young people are all looking at foreign art, and the things of your ancestors have been forgotten. ”

After Xu Ji shook his head and said this, he whispered along with the Peking Opera actors on stage.

Zhang Chu actually didn't know much about this, he just liked the environment of the Zhengyi Temple Theater very much, but after watching it for a while, he asked a little confused: "Old Xu, is this complete? ”

"This is an excerpt, the so-called excerpt is a play in the whole play, what we are watching now is to watch the king drink and listen to Yu songs with the king in the tent. ”

In fact, this is the disadvantage of Peking Opera, even if everyone knows the general background of the story, but the excerpts are almost for those audiences who are familiar with Peking Opera, there is no cause and effect, and it is difficult for ordinary new audiences to understand!

The reason why Mr. Mei Lanfang's revised famous drama has been handed down is probably because there are many drama conflicts in it.

Fortunately, the Peking Opera actors on the stage are quite good, bringing the audience in!

"Pull out the mountain and cover the world, the times are not good, the shuts will not pass away, the skulls will not pass away, what can I do, what can I do?"

As soon as this familiar singing came out, Zhang Chu immediately had the spirit and set his eyes on the actor diagonally below.

When the overlord returned to the camp after defeat, Yu Ji was very pessimistic when she saw her lover failing, and specially danced a sword for him.

This is almost the entire opera gao tide, many viewers are attracted by the sword dance, and then experience the emotions between the two characters.

There was no microphone, and the actors woke up the performance with real voices, which worked very well in a small theater of more than 100 people, and the audience began to applaud one after another!

Xu Ji also made a clapping motion, and he asked in a low voice, "What do you think of singing?"

"I'm a layman, so it's just a good look, and everyone is applauding. ”

Unexpectedly, the old man scoffed, "Look at them, what kind of live broadcast do you take pictures and videos with your mobile phone to watch a play, do you think they can understand Peking Opera?

Zhang Chu reached out and touched his nose, he also had an urge to take a picture with his mobile phone just now, but he didn't do it because the angle was not particularly good, otherwise he would be complained about.

Jiang Hua had gradually returned to normal at this time, and he said to the two: "I'll go to the bathroom, and you guys will talk slowly." ”

After Jiang Hua left the box, Xu Jicai sighed and said, "That's why I didn't let him go out to make a movie alone." His ability to direct, his grasp of the picture, art, and lighting is very strong, but he is very poor in dealing with people. Thank you for your hard work. ”

"Mr. Jiang is dedicated to film art, and I have nothing to work hard for. Originally, I did have a Journey to the West story that I wanted to film, but not now. ”

Zhang Chu said bluntly, he is now ready to become independent from Menglong Culture Media Company and set up a company to serve himself, so he should suspend new projects and new works, so as not to have a clear handover with Menglong.

Xu Ji smiled, "I did the same at the beginning, but since I opened the studio, I found that there are a lot of things to consider when I am the boss! Employees need to eat and live, and this is not a trivial matter!"

"I know that, but my company generally doesn't need to invest much, mainly according to my various licensing, and the operating pressure will be much less than your film studio. ”

To put it simply, if Zhang Chu's new company is established, it will basically be a steady profit and no loss, and you only need to take care of Zhang Chu's business card.

Now there are very few reliable directors in China, Zhang Chu does not have a deep understanding of the entertainment industry, he wants to take out the book of "Journey to the West", but I don't know if Xu Jishi is not suitable for this style, or which actors can take on this kind of responsibility.

The new company has not yet had the slightest eyebrows, he has already thought of the first project, anyway, he will bring in Xu Ji's director studio to cooperate, at least with Mr. Xu's connections, he will definitely be able to find a suitable director and actor.

While speaking, Yu Ji and Bawang on the stage had already sung, and the inexplicably familiar music sounded, and the musicians who were hidden behind the scenes began to accompany with erhu, jinghu, small gongs and other instruments.

Embattled, Yu Ji avoided the sword hanging from the overlord's waist three times, and finally she tricked the overlord into saying that the Han soldiers had come in, and pulled out the sword while Xiang Yu was not paying attention!

The audience knows what kind of plot will happen next, and they can't help but stretch their necks to watch.

The accompanying music became more and more sad and miserable, and when the black-faced overlord Xiang Yu suddenly turned around, Yu Ji killed himself, which made him pause, so he had to hold Yu Ji's body.

When the maids helped Yu Ji to get off the stage, the audience's applause came and went, which meant throwing copper coins on the stage during the Ming and Qing dynasties!

Zhang Chu watched the excitement, and also showed a happy smile, even if there are tourists in the audience, there are tourists who are willing to watch.

If even the tourists are gone, how many old theater fans like Xu Ji can have, and how much ticket money can they give?

Isn't it that these theaters can only go out of business, so Zhang Chu feels that these tourists who come here are actually helpful, at least so that the Peking Opera actors can have something to eat.

Of course, the performances of the Peking Opera Grand Wharf all over the country are actually not inferior to Yanjing, but Yanjing is relatively famous.

Many people feel that it is a pity not to listen to Peking Opera when they come to Yanjing, it is a pity not to listen to cross talk in Jingu, it is a pity not to listen to Kunqu Opera or Pingtan in Suzhou, and it is a pity not to watch Sichuan Opera in Sichuan and Chongqing, these are all taken for granted!

Sichuan opera is not the same as changing face, and Pingtan is not only Fengqiao Yebo, Kunqu Opera has many repertoire in addition to visiting the garden, and Jingu has drum music in addition to cross talk, just look at it with appreciation and preliminary understanding.

Xu Ji stood up, he yawned and said, "It's really hard for you to find such a boring thing for a young man like you." ”

"It's not difficult, this can be regarded as an eye-opener for me, maybe it will become a generation of good stories in the future!" Zhang Chu said mysteriously, there was already an idea in his mind that was crazy.

"What a story this can become. Xu Ji was a little puzzled.

But Zhang Chu didn't mean to answer, everything has not been determined yet, and it is too early to put it bluntly.

At this time, Jiang Hua walked back and said with a regretful face: "I didn't expect the kung fu of going to the toilet, this play is actually over." I've long heard that the horns here are amazing, and I missed the best part!"

"It's okay, tomorrow they will play during the day, you can watch it again. Zhang Chu just saw the performance schedule for the past week on the table in the box.

"Forget it, this Peking Opera is not interesting, only people like the old man like it. ”

Old Man Xu gave him a cold look, but as a result, the middle-aged man in his thirties and forties couldn't help but shiver and kept silent.

"Xiao Zhang, I came to you this time and I have another thing I want to communicate with you. Presumably Yida Pictures has already contacted you, right? He wanted me to start preparing for the filming of "Psychological Crime 2" now, but I refused. This kind of good story should be carefully crafted, and you can't give up for a long time because of immediate interests, and I still expect you to write a story. ”

Zhang Chu nodded, "I didn't agree either, it's too harmful to launch a sequel in such a hurry." They are not the owners of the copyright of psychological crimes, and of course they don't care whether the value of this IP will be affected, they just want to make money. ”

He is not the kind of person who is short-sighted, if he wants to do big things, he must take a long-term view, and he can't throw watermelons and pick up sesame seeds.

Now that the two copyright owners of "Psychological Crime" have reached an agreement here, Yida Pictures is just an investor who can't afford to make any waves.

But they won't say that they won't shoot anymore, they still have to drag it down slowly, otherwise the box office settlement of "Psychological Crime" may be intercepted by Yida Cinemas and defaulted for various reasons.

Standing at the door of the theater, Zhang Chu originally wanted to go out and leave directly, but after thinking about it, he walked to the staff and took a business card, maybe he would have to visit when he would have to come to visit!

"What, you're addicted to watching a play?" Xu Ji quipped.

Zhang Chu shook his head and replied: "No, no, it may be used in the future, and it will be convenient to contact some when the time comes." ”

If you want to achieve the thing he has in mind, I'm afraid that contact with this theater building is indispensable, and some things must be helped by professionals.

At night, the brightly lit Zhengyi Ancestral Hall theater seems to have returned to the Republic of China period in a trance.
