Chapter 776: Forming a Drama Troupe
Jiang Daxing seemed to be reminiscing about the past, he only said: "When I went to study drama in the troupe, I was only seven or eight years old, barefoot on a cold day, standing on a stake in the courtyard bare-chested, with a bowl on my head. This bowl can't fall to the ground, if the bowl is broken, the master who teaches kung fu will take a whip to your back and beat you hard, they don't take the apprentices who learn drama as people, and keep saying that this is for their good, not ruthless, and not successful. When you show your face in this circle one day, but you can't help but see your master, then you will be said to be bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors. ”
Xu Erjin was probably infected by Jiang Daxing, and at this time he also raised his head and said softly: "Those who eat open food have to respect the master, and the little apprentice will not be able to come out at all if he doesn't stay up for ten or eight years." Generally, there are grandmasters in the troupe, as if this can ensure that everyone has food to sing and sing. ”
Qin Daixin nodded, and said to Xu Erjin: "This troupe is acting in the next place, but what do you say?"
"It's okay to be in a small place, and leave after singing, but when you get to a big place, you have to worship the pier, so as not to offend the local snake."
Qin Dai had a number in his heart, and immediately said to Jiang Daxing and Xu Erjin: "According to the two of you, if we want to form a troupe, what kind of work will be built?"
Jiang Daxing and Xu Erjin glanced at each other, the two hesitated for a long time, and bit their ears softly a few times, and then Jiang Daxing spoke: "Third Miss, according to our meaning, our troupe is not too big, nor too small. The big opera troupe is famous, and it can sing all the plays, it has its own drum master, changes the tune, fills in the lyrics, and is an expert in everything, and the big opera troupe has the money to buy houses and venues, so there is no need to take people around to sing. ”
Qin Daixin felt that what he said made sense, and after glancing at Murong Jing, she encouraged him, "You go on."
Jiang Daxing was encouraged. I have a bottom in my heart, and my tone is more adequate than before, "The troupe that is too small is all sexual." can't keep the corners, such troupes generally go to the countryside, no one will go to the big state capital, there is no food for the small troupe at all, I'm afraid that they can't even grab the soup. ”
"Yes, your analysis is correct, if that's the case, then wouldn't we only be able to build a medium-sized troupe?"
Xu Erjin wanted to speak and stopped.
His stumbling appearance fell into Murong Jing's eyes, and he immediately became cowardly.
"If you have something to say, say it." Murong Jing's tone was not heavy, but he spoke to outsiders. has always been cold and high-minded, Xu Erjin heard his words, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he stabilized it several times before he controlled his feelings.
Xu Erjin didn't dare to look at Murong Jing. only looked at Qin Dai and said, "That...... Not necessarily. ”
What does shrimp mean?
Qin Daixin knew that she was timid to talk about Erjin, so she looked at him and said, "You make your words clearer."
"Well, there are many kinds of troupes, and I used to say that I heard others say that there is a very special 'Taichang class' in Jiangdong. This troupe is very large, and the head of the troupe is a very rich man, and he doesn't run a troupe to make money. In order to be at ease. This Taichang class not only has famous actors singing, but also invited a lot of jugglers in the team, they have a big flower boat, only sing along the wharf on both sides of the river for a few months a year, and do their own things the rest of the time! The owner of the group was a businessman, and only went to the river to avoid the office in the summer. Have fun by the way. He didn't understand the world of the rich, he just remembered that he heard it at the time, and his mind was full of incredulity.
"That's interesting." Qin Dai smiled playfully, looked at Murong Jing and said, "According to you, let's also run such a drama troupe?"
Murong Jing's gaze was like water. He thought for a while, and only said, "It can also be a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it."
What he said was endless, but Qin Daixin understood.
Indeed, it is reasonable for the children of gentlemen who do not learn and have no skills to do anything, and it is normal for those with a thicker family background to take out the money to buy a drama troupe to play.
Qin Daixin only said: "Okay, how big this troupe is going to be, and what is the name, the prince has a number in his heart, and what he has to discuss now is the most indispensable drama in this troupe." Qin Daixin pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Xu Erjin and Jiang Daxing: "If you want to talk about this, you two are experts, but you can tell me, what kind of drama are we people suitable for."
If you want to pretend to be a troupe, you have to perform your own duties. If Murong Jing is the class leader, then these people below can't all pretend to be actors!
Jiang Daxing glanced around, and only said: "I used to be in the troupe, it was a top pole, a bamboo pole of five or six meters flew around on my body, in fact, there was no skill, but it was quite attractive, there must be gongs and drums at the beginning, no skills, just a little." Before the second entry, those who sang Danjiao had to have a drum group, and they couldn't be sloppy at all. ”
Qin Dai's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "You mean, you approve of us building a juggling team instead of a drama team?"
Jiang Daxing nodded, "Those who eat open meals must have their own drum team, we here, those who don't play strings, play erhu, don't play suona, can't become a team." And we're not really a theater troupe, so we don't need to invite people outside. "They do a job that is out of their heads, and it is more risky to hire outsiders, so it is better to do it alone.
"That's a good idea, what do you say, my lord!" Qin Dai looked at Murong Jing with a smile, and the latter nodded slightly.
Qin Daixin said again: "Since the route and the nature of the team have been decided, the next step is to arrange the roles of everyone." Don't worry about these things, why don't you go back to your room for a while?" The reason why she said this was mainly because she guessed that Murong Jing had something to say to Li Mu, so she handed this in front of everyone.
Murong Jing really got up from the goodness and only said, "It's okay, you can look at the arrangements for these things!" After speaking, he said to Duan Xing and Li Mu on the side: "This king has obtained some good tea, and I want to ask the two of you to help taste it, I don't know if it's okay."
Duan Xing, the bearded man, will taste any kind of tea, but he also knows that Murong Jingyi is not tasting tea, since he has called Li Mu, he must have something else to say.
Li Mu naturally would not refuse.
The two followed Murong Jing all the way to the upper room.
Qin Daixin waved his hand and said to everyone: "Okay, I finally invited the prince away, he is not here, you are much more comfortable!"
In a word, it amused everyone. Indeed, Murong Jing is here, and everyone can't let go of their hands and feet, and they always feel restrained.
"However, the prince will advance and retreat with us in the future, you are so scary to him, how will we communicate and work together in the future!" Qin Daixin's face suddenly straightened, making Pei Hu and the others a little confused.
Qin Dai only said in his heart: "You are afraid of him and respect him, this is not wrong." The fault is that he is afraid in front of him! We are people who are going to be born and die together, is it because of one of his eyes, because of his existence, he is afraid of him? I don't dare to say what is in my heart in front of him, and I don't dare to express my meaning, so what is the point of this trip to Wana?" Qin Daixin's gaze swept over everyone, and he only said: "When I went to Yandang Mountain, I didn't follow, I don't know how you get along, but I hope that I can see your changes in the next few days."
Qin Daixin knew that these things could not be changed overnight, after all, the ancient people had a strong class concept, and ordinary people like Pei Hu and them, especially those who had committed crimes and been bandits, were even more afraid of seeing officials.
Since you can't change it all at once, let's take it slowly!
Qin Daixin sat on the chair and said to Jiang Daxing: "Can you still pick up your kung fu in the troupe?"
Jiang Daxing said with great certainty: "Yes, I can designate it."
Qin Daixin nodded, "Xu Erjin, what about you?"
Xu Erjin only said: "I play the role of Dan, if there is no drum group, I can't sing."
Qin Dai smiled and said, "I know." In fact, isn't this Xu Erjin able to shrink bones, this can be taken out for research and research, but now is not the time, it is better to talk to him in detail in the future.
Qin Daixin's gaze wandered around the others again, and he only said, "You all think about what you can do, and try to lean on this juggling team."
Chang Xiaosheng stood up from the crowd and said with a smile: "Third Miss, I think I should be able to pretend to be a trickster." You don't know, my kung fu is still good, I know a few tricks, I didn't go up to the mountains to be a bandit, I often stayed in the gathering place of the three religions and nine streams, and I didn't learn the Tao here. ”
Qin Daixin knew that this Chang Xiaosheng was good, this person was good at stealing, and the light skills were not bad, presumably the exercises on his fingers were very flexible, as he said, it should be good and difficult for him to change tricks.
"Okay, you're okay these days, just go to the various troupes to take a look, if there are tricks, it's better to ask others for a few more hands, and keep it for your own use."
"Ugh." Chang Xiaosheng answered and sat down.
The rest of the people didn't know what they could do, and they all looked at each other and looked very confused.
Qin Daixin pointed at Wang Xiaopu and said, "I remember that you are very good at imitating animal sounds, aren't you?"
Wang Xiaogou hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, the third lady has a really good memory."
Qin Dai said in her heart: "I don't know if you can imitate the voice of a person?"
A trace of confusion flashed on Wang Xiaogou's face, and he only said: "I, I don't know, I haven't tried!"
Qin Daixin encouraged him: "You can try, I think, the sound of animals is much more difficult than the sound of human speech, you think about it, maybe you can do it."
"Hey." Wang Xiaopu answered, but his confidence was not enough, and his voice was a little small.
Qin Daixin knew that he was not sure, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it well, so he comforted him: "It's okay, it's idle anyway, just try, it's nothing."
Wang Xiaogou had a little smile on his face, and sat on the chair with a heavy heart, it seemed that he had listened to Qin Daixin's words in his heart, thinking about studying and imitating the sound of human speech.
Except for these people, the rest of the people seem a little featureless.
"Third Miss, what can we do?"
