Chapter 82: Kyoto Grand Theater
Ye Chen looked at the strange trio in front of him and looked at one of them very suspiciously.
"This is Wei Shu, the president of the Imperial Poetry Association, and this is Zheng Wen, a professor of Chinese at Imperial Yenching University. Seeing Ye Chen's puzzled expression, Han Xuan explained with a smile.
Ye Chen was shocked when he heard this, as the Taishan Beidou in the imperial literary world, Wei Shu has a huge influence in the imperial literary circle, not to mention, he has been working for decades, the peach and plum are all over the world, and he is also famous among the people!
And what shocked Ye Chen even more was the identity of Han Lao, seeing Han Lao talking and laughing with Wei Shu, surnamed Han, about sixty years old, if Ye Chen couldn't guess Han Lao's identity at this time, he would really find a piece of tofu and die!
As early as when he was at the airport before, Ye Chen had faint suspicions, the number of people in the literary world who could be so confident that his articles could be published in "Huaxia Daily" was only a few people, and then thinking of Wang Kong's respectful appearance to Han Lao, Ye Chen also had a guess in his heart.
didn't have time to think about why he led the team to participate in this final as Han Lao, Ye Chen nodded to Wei Shu and the others.
"Mr. Wei, Mr. Zheng!"
Wei Shu and Zheng Wen also nodded with a smile.
"Ye Chen, right? You are very good, this "Broken Chapter" is very well written. Wei Shu bowed slightly towards Ye Chen, and praised with a smile.
Ye Chen was stunned, he was too serious when he wrote the article just now, and he didn't notice how Wei Shu and the others knew that they were writing "Broken Chapter", and at this moment, listening to Wei Shu praise himself, Ye Chen also said modestly: "Mr. Wei praised it falsely, just writing blindly!"
Seeing that Ye Chen was so humble, Wei Shu looked at Ye Chen with a little more approval, "Since you call this old guy Han Lao, if you don't dislike it, call me Wei Lao, the old gentleman is too angry." ”
Ye Chen was not verbose, and shouted "Old Wei" at the moment, and Wei Shu also smiled heartily.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Shu and Ye Chen discussed the creation of poetry and the structure of "Broken Chapter", Ye Chen's unique views made Wei Shu's eyes shine, and Wei Shu's understanding of poetry also made Ye Chen admire, in general, they talked very happily.
Ye Chen chatted happily with Wei Shu, and Han Xuan on the side also interjected a few words from time to time, not much to say, but to the point, it was enough to show that Han Xuan also had some deep insights into poetry.
"Old Wei, there will be a play at the Kyoto Grand Theater later, Lao Xie has already called to invite me before, will you go?" Han Xuan looked at Wei Shu and asked with a smile.
"How can Lao Xie not go to the invitation, in other words, Lao Xie hasn't created a drama for a long time, why did he suddenly come to such a play?" Wei Shu wondered.
"You don't understand this, I heard that this old guy accepted a closed disciple not long ago, he's happy, this drama was also made up by his disciple, this is to show off in front of the two of us!" Han Xuan looked at Wei Shu and explained, his eyes were also a little envious.
Indeed, to the point where Han Xuan and Wei Shu have reached the point where they are already rare in the imperial literary world, and they are also thunderous in the world literary world, what Han Xuan and Wei Shu hope most is to have a satisfactory disciple to inherit their mantle.
Wei Shu is okay, Zheng Wen is a close disciple of Wei Shu, and now he is also a professor at Yenching University, while Han Lao's situation is more complicated!
Originally, Han Lao had the best mantle heir recognized in the literary world, that is, Han Cheng, the son of Han Lao, but what everyone didn't expect was that Han Cheng actually announced his retirement from the literary world, which made Han Xuan angry.
Wei Shu obviously knew about this matter, and after glancing at Ye Chen, he also knew in his heart that he was afraid that his old friend also had the intention of accepting apprentices.
Ye Chen, who was on the side, listened to Han Xuan and Wei Shu's discussion, and knew in his heart that Han Xuan and Wei Shu were going to find old friends to catch up, and were about to say goodbye to everyone, only to hear Han Xuan say again: "Little guy, are you interested in going to see a drama performance with us?"
After listening to Han Xuan, Ye Chen was also stunned, he didn't expect Han Xuan to invite him, but Ye Chen was also very interested in the drama performance of this world, so Ye Chen readily agreed.
"That kid is disrespectful!"
……
The Kyoto Grand Theater was not far from the place where Ye Chen took the exam, and it didn't take long for the group of three to come to a theater, and since Zheng Wen was the judge of this exam, Zheng Wen did not go with him.
Unlike the embarrassing position of drama in the country in the previous life, the status of drama in this world is very high and the development is also very good, similar theaters have buildings in major cities of the empire, and even young people like to watch dramas.
Since it was a weekend, the theater was already overcrowded, but with the invitation of "Lao Xie", the seating position of Ye Chen and the others was still very good.
As the curtain opened, the drama began to be staged, the name of the play is "Lena's Love", it is about a bloody love story, of course, this is only in Ye Chen's eyes, judging from the reaction of the audience and the reaction of Han Xuan and others, most people are still very satisfied with this drama!
Halfway through the drama performance, everyone could see what the story of the drama performance was, "Old Wei, what do you think?" Han Xuan asked.
"Shang Ke, there is already a bit of Lao Xie's popularity, Lao Xie's disciple is good!" Wei Shu praised.
Han Xuan also nodded when he heard this, and Han Xuan was also happy that his old friend could find a good successor.
Han Xuan was about to say something more, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of Ye Chen's disapproving look out of the corner of his eye, and his heart moved, Han Xuan asked Ye Chen, "Xiao Chen, what do you think?"
Seeing Han Xuan asking himself, Ye Chen was a little hesitant, after all, Han Xuan and Wei Shu were quite optimistic, and it was not good for him to speak rashly.
Han Xuan and Wei Shuren have grown old and become fine, they have lived for most of their lives, and even their eyelashes are empty, and they don't know what's going on when they see Ye Chen like this.
"It's okay, just talk freely, he and I are both laymen, and we don't know much about drama, so don't worry!" Wei Shu encouraged Ye Chen.
Hearing this, Ye Chen did not hesitate, and said: "The story entry point of this drama is good, the more ordinary the story, the more touching it is, but there is also a fatal shortcoming!"
"Excuse me, may I ask where is the fatal flaw of "Lena's Love"?"
At this moment, a voice with a half-baked Chinese accent interrupted Ye Chen's conversation.
The sound came from far and near, and the eyes of Ye Chen and the others also followed the source of the sound.
I saw a thin old man with a gray beard walking towards everyone with a smile on his face.
And behind the old man was also a white beauty with blond hair, a high nose, a hot figure, and a very beautiful appearance.
It's just that at this time, there was a little dissatisfaction on the beautiful face of the white beauty, and a pair of blue eyes were also staring at Ye Chen tightly without blinking!
