142 A good show is a natural thing, and a clever hand can get it!

At half past one in the afternoon of the next day, Cheng Xiaolou and Pan Yu came to Li Jun's office of Yanyun Jingmeng Company early.

When they arrived, the playwright Wu Yong and Li Jun were already waiting in the office in advance.

In addition to the two of them, there are also two directors, Lin Xiaosheng and Michelle, who are waiting here at the same time.

After saying hello to each other and saying a few words, Cheng Xiaolou took a sip of the tea made by Michelle himself to moisten his throat, and then went directly to the topic: "Everyone, Wu, in the past few days, I have been seriously thinking about this new drama with the theme of the snake girl, how to adapt it to be more distinctive and more likely to become a classic." ”

"After a few days of thinking and scrutiny, I personally still stick to the previous idea, take the snake girl as the protagonist of the whole play, and use the poignant and tactful love story as the story clue, if it can be matched with good lyrics and singing, and spend more thought on the rehearsal, I believe that this play will become a masterpiece praised by the world!"

When he said this, Cheng Xiaolou's mind was full of the classic "The Legend of the White Snake" that had been adapted into multiple versions of the earth in his previous life.

As long as he can lead this drama, "The Legend of the White Snake" can shine in this world and become a high-quality drama.

"Boss Cheng, your creative talent in Peking Opera is obvious to all, can you talk more about your thoughts in depth?"

Wu Yong, as the original author of this snake girl-themed play, a famous Chinese dramatist, behaved very humbly in front of Cheng Xiaolou at this time, like a student who humbly asks for advice.

"Wu, you are too polite, my thoughts are like this......"

"The Legend of the White Snake" is one of the four well-known folk loves in China where Cheng Xiaolou lived in his previous life, and the poignant and touching love story of the White Lady and Xu Xian has been sung for thousands of years, and women and children know it.

Facing the humble Wu Yong, Cheng Xiaolou didn't dare to put on a half-point stand, nodded politely and returned the salute, before he said the thoughts about "The Legend of the White Snake" in his mind.

"The Legend of the White Snake" Peking Opera script comes from the late Ming Dynasty "Warning Words", legend has it that during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a thousand years of cultivation of the snake demon turned into a beautiful woman named Bai Suzhen, and her maid Xiaoqing, met Xu Xuan, the king of the pharmacy in the West Lake of Hangzhou, and met Xu Xuan, the king of the pharmacy, and took shelter from the rain in the same boat, fell in love at first sight, and then became husband and wife.

After marriage, the two experienced a lot of rights and wrongs, but the white lady frequently appeared strange, and Xu Xian always didn't understand the reason. Fahai, a senior monk of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, who came in search of demons, gave Xu Xian a bowl and asked him to cover his wife with this bowl. After the white and green quilts were singled, their original forms were revealed, and they turned into white snakes and herring fish that had become enlightened for thousands of years.

Fahai then took the bowl and put it in front of the Lei Temple Peak, and let people build a seven-level pagoda on it, called Lei Feng, and always put the white snake and herring in the tower. The white snake that has practiced for thousands of years does not hesitate to break jade for love, which is enough to move heaven and earth.

Xu Xian was finally moved by love, bravely abandoned the constraints of feudal etiquette and religion, and sincerely accepted the "snake demon", but in the end they could not be brought together due to Fahai's prevention, but at the moment when the white snake was pressed under the ** tower, their love had been immortalized.

After Cheng Xiaolou finished the general storyline, Michelle, the artist director of Yanyun Jingmeng, suddenly turned red with emotion.

"White Snake and Xu Xian still couldn't be together in the end, she is too pitiful. Michelle pouted and looked at Cheng Xiaolou, and her little eyes were clearly saying that she wanted him to change the ending of the story.

"No, no, no, as Boss Cheng said, Xu Xian and White Snake are not together but have a chance to become classics. ”

Wu Yong's eyes were bright and scary at this time, and he hurriedly waved his hand at Michelle excitedly, and then looked at Cheng Xiaolou with admiration and said with sincere admiration: "Boss Cheng is really talented, I didn't expect you to not only have already come up with a complete storyline, but even the names of the characters in the play." Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, this name is very good. There is also the green snake Xiaoqing next to the white snake, and the increase in this role suddenly adds a lot of color to this play. ”

Since Cheng Xiaolou suggested last time that this play be changed from a small drama to a Tsing Yi drama of the snake heroine, Wu Yong has been thinking about this in his mind for the past few days.

He himself has conceived several versions, but compared with the version that Cheng Xiaolou just said, his ideas are much inferior, whether it is the character creation in the play and the complete twists and turns of the story as a whole, and the touching love between people and snakes, they are not the same.

In particular, the increase of the two characters of Jinshan Temple, Fahai and Green Snake Xiaoqing, suddenly made the whole play full and substantial, and the setting of many plots became logical and reasonable.

"Xiao Lou's immature ideas are also based on your original work, Wu Dajia, you really deserve to be one of the best playwrights in the pear garden industry, you can think of such a creative theme as the snake girl, Xiao Lou admires!"

Cheng Xiaolou hurriedly and modestly slapped the sycophants, if he really changed the play according to the idea he proposed, except for the element of the snake girl, it would be tantamount to overthrowing Wu Yong's entire play, and even the names of the characters in his play were changed, which even made him feel very sorry in his heart.

But there is no way to do it, after all, he likes the play "The Legend of the White Snake" too much, if he can't bring it to this world and share it with every fan who likes Peking Opera, Cheng Xiaolou feels that he will regret it for life.

"Boss Cheng praised it, in front of you, a genius who can create dramas like "Sifan", "Night Run" and "Lock Five Dragons" in just three days, I'm afraid that looking at the entire Huaguo pear orchard world, few people dare to call themselves plays, haha!"

Cheng Xiaolou's Peking Opera creative talent is now obvious to all, and his unbridled thinking and creativity are talked about by countless peers engaged in Peking Opera creation.

"That'...... If I say that whether it is "Sifan", "Night Run", "Lock Five Dragons", or those two Beijing songs, I didn't write them, what would you think?"

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xiaolou suddenly said with a straight face.

No...... No way?!

The whole office suddenly fell silent, and everyone subconsciously looked at him suddenly, and their faces changed in shock.

"You...... Are you kidding?"

Seeing that he was serious, not at all like a joke, Lin Xiaosheng pulled the corners of his mouth and asked cautiously and softly.

If what Cheng Xiaolou said is true, then this fun will be great!

"Director Lin, do you think I'm joking?"

The corners of Cheng Xiaolou's lips hooked, and Jun Jun didn't answer the rhetorical question with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"This ...... This ......"

Lin Xiaosheng panicked for no reason, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva and was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"A good show is a natural thing, and a good hand can get it. I sometimes think that every good play that comes out of my hand may be a gift from God to the world, but it is just passed down through my hands. ”

Cheng Xiaolou raised his eyes and swept around everyone, and suddenly sighed softly in his heart, which was extremely complicated.

Only he knows that every play he sings is the brainchild of countless Liyuan ancestors in China in his previous life.

And he's just an inheritor!
