In January 1918, the Shuntian Times in Beiping launched a voting campaign to elect the best young performer of Peking Opera. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info election results: 24-year-old Mei Lanfang was elected as the king of male ling, 24-year-old Liu Xikui was elected as the king of Kunling, and 19-year-old Shang Xiaoyun was elected as the king of Tong Ling.

This is also the origin of Mei Lanfang is known as the king of the Lingjie world, in fact, Beiping has not really selected the four famous Dans of Peking Opera, this statement is the inaugural issue of Tianjin's "Dafeng Bao" put forward by an individual article, without real voting.

However, Li Ruofan decided to make up for this regret, naturally, when he came to the Song Mansion, he saw that "Beijing Daily" and "Beiyang Pictorial" came to join in the fun, but he was not particularly concerned about this gamble. Offered to be sponsored by Ruofan Film and Television, which he was about to found.

Think of it as advertising the company in advance.

Seeing Shao Piaoping, the chief writer of the "Beijing Daily" in front of him, sitting in front of him, thinking that this progressive newspaper man would die next year under the guns of the young marshal father and son, it was very unreal.

Li Ruofan knew the love of "Beiyang Pictorial" for Peking Opera, especially Mei Lanfang, and said with a smile: "Under the masthead of "Beiyang Pictorial", a portrait of a character is published in each issue, which is particularly exciting. I suggest that the selection of the four famous Dan can be published in the famous Dan corner of Beiping first to warm up, the candidates can be about ten, and then the two newspapers publish the ballot at the same time, and the final results come out, all the selected we draw lucky prizes, and the prizes are all sponsored by Ruofan Film and Television. ”

Wang Xiaoyin, editor-in-chief of "Beiyang Pictorial", his eyes lit up, this practice in later generations is now an extremely fresh initiative, he was actually invited by the Nanguo Society.

Originally, when he heard the arrogant person described in Shi Shuyun's mouth, he whimsically wanted to fight against the Nanguo Society, but he came with the intention of watching jokes. But now?

As a unique pictorial that has just been published for less than a year, if you want to stand out from the crowd, you naturally need creativity and vision. The selection of the four famous Dans is undoubtedly a good starting point.

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "Of course, the follow-up can also select the four major students and the four major Kunling, all of which are undertaken by Ruofan Film and Television." ”

Shao Piaoping smiled: "It's eye-catching, sure enough, the hero is a teenager, not a raptor but a river!"

Lan Yuxuan and Song Yunting were originally hiding on the second floor and whispering, but because there was a famous socialite Lu Xiaoman among the guests, the two also had an excuse, Shi Shiran sat on the sofa and looked at this Republic of China woman who is still Wang Geng's wife, but she is in and out of the same way with Xu Zhimo.

Of course, Lu Xiaoman will get divorced at the end of this year, as a painter, playwright and translator Lu Xiaoman, Lan Yuxuan is actually no stranger, because Lu Xiaoman's English level is very high, and he was hired by Gu Weijun, the foreign minister of the Beiyang government, as a part-time diplomatic translator, so he is naturally familiar.

Xu Zhimo is also there, although he is the founder of the Crescent Society, he also joined the Nanguo Society, this year's Xu Zhimo can be described as a spring breeze, and he has already come out of the shadow of being rejected by Lin Huiyin.

His new poems are really well written, they are widely sung, and he was invited by Hu Shizhi to serve as a professor at Peking University. Few people know that Jin Yong is Xu Zhimo's aunt and cousin, and Qiong Yao is Xu Zhimo's niece.

Of course, Xu Zhimo didn't come over today because he was curious about Li Ruofan, he wasn't so boring, and Nanguo Society didn't have that thought, even if it was the history books adding fuel and vinegar.

Now Xu Zhimo is worthy of Xu Zhimo's admiration or level up to the eyes of the famous generals of the New Culture Movement in the history of literature in later generations, such as Liang Qichao, Hu Shi, Wen Yiduo, Liang Shiqiu, these masters who have studied both China and the West.

Lu Xiaoman is familiar with Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera, and he can perform it as a ticket holder. She translated the Italian drama "Mirage" last year, and after meeting Xu Zhimo, she was going to co-author a drama "Bian Kungang", on the one hand, she took advantage of the situation to meet Song Ping'an, and wanted to use his theater to rehearse, naturally she also has a fun-loving personality and doesn't like to stay at home.

At that time, there was no Internet, and there was no satellite TV, so there were not many entertainment activities for people. Of course, she doesn't like to go out to work to make money, so naturally someone has to support her, and she has to be able to afford it.

One of the interesting things about women in the Republic of China is that most of them are very talented, and they can be said to be extremely knowledgeable in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, but they don't think this is a great thing.

At this time, Xu Zhimo's monthly salary as a professor is 400 oceans, and he is the only son of the Xu family, so he has to spend money in love, and he still doesn't feel that he can't make ends meet for the time being.

But Lu Xiaoman is in contact with the real upper class, and he is used to spending money, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

At this time, it is enough for ordinary people to have five oceans of coarse tea and light rice a month, but Lu Xiaoman feels that five hundred is a bit little, living in a mansion, hiring a maid, going out to take a taxi, and learning Chinese painting with Liu Haisu, Chen Banding, and He Tianjian, to put it bluntly, her hobbies are bottomless.

Later, after Xu Zhimo's plane crash, Weng Ruiwu responded to Lu Xiaoman's requests for 40 years, and even sold the calligraphy, painting and antiques handed down by his ancestors, and Weng Ruiwu still served until his death in 1960 after Lu Xiaoman's old age and decay.

Weng Ruiwu is the head of Weng Tongyi, the Minister of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Minister of National Affairs, and the son of Weng Shouqi, the prefect of Wuzhou, Guangxi, so ordinary people really can't support rotten girls.

But now people are really not qualified to blame Weng Ruiwu and Lu Xiaoman, when he just lost his husband, Lu Xiaoman had no source of livelihood and had to take care of his adult cousin, a family of three, who had been sick and dependent on Weng Ruiwu for all expenses.

Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and this sentence is not outdated at any time. How many women, especially beautiful women, can meet men who truly cherish her whole life and still grow old with her children in her gray hair?

Li Ruofan was a little unconvinced, as a traverser, he couldn't fall into the traverser's share!

He won't stay in the Republic of China all the time, in case he returns to 2016 one day and bragged to his family that he met Xu Zhimo or something, but people don't look at him at all, the key is that I can't bear it, even Song Yunting and Lan Yuxuan are full of admiration for little stars!

In fact, Lan Yuxuan and Song Yunting saw Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, which was roughly equivalent to the appearance of fans in later generations when they saw Lu Han.

At this time, Xu Zhimo no longer needs to take the initiative to contribute, it is called an appointment, and it depends on the mood.

Wang Xiaoyin said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is my idol, Mr. Feng Wuyue of Beiyang Pictorial originally asked him to visit in person and wanted to publish your little photo." and Ms. Lu Xiaoman, today is really a double happiness, I want to invite you to meet by chance, you are Kunchao, you are playing Yutangchun is Yu Zhenfei and Mei Lanfang are both praised. ”

This is not Wang Xiaoyin's blind touting, Lu Xiaoman has participated in several disaster relief performances in Beiping, and the Tsing Yi he sang is a sensation in Sijiu City. But her father is the director of the tax department of the Beiyang government, and it is impossible for her daughter to play tickets and sing a church at most.

In 1952, Mr. Mei Lanfang went to Japan to visit and perform, and after Xiaoman learned the news, he immediately wrote a letter to Mei Lanfang, asking him to buy some Japanese rice paper on his behalf.

At that time, Lu Xiaoman was at the Shanghai Art Academy, and someone wanted to paint from time to time. For various reasons, good rice paper is hard to come by. The rice paper that can be bought has poor water absorption, and after painting, it takes a long time to dry, and then it can be painted, which is very time-consuming. Lu Xiaoman likes to paint Chinese paintings in one go, while Japanese rice paper dries quickly and is suitable for use.

Soon, Mei Lanfang came back from a visit to Japan, and a few days later, Mei Lanfang specially asked his secretary to send two hundred pieces of Japanese rice paper to Lu Xiaoman's house. And said: "Boss Mei said: Please accept the two hundred pieces of rice paper, and you don't have to pay the money." It can be regarded as a small gift from Brother Ren to Xiao Manxianmei. Sister Wangxian takes care of her body and paints more. ”

The friendship at that time, envy, the past cannot be chased.

Xu Zhimo smiled reservedly: "I'm ashamed, although there are also two small collections, but when I saw Mr. Wen Yiduo's poems, I was simply a slap in the face." ”

The decline of the new poem can be said to have a lot to do with the untimely death of Wen Yiduo and Xu Zhimo, the soul of the Crescent Society. Free verse defeated metrical poetry and took the lead, but the lame walk naturally became less like poetry the more it was written, and the poem died!

Although Shi Shuyun prides himself on being suave, he just lacks talent. Of course, he regards Xu Zhimo as an idol, and he really wants to write a "Farewell Kangqiao" or "The Happiness of Snowflakes", which is simply a supreme killer of peach blossoms.
