Chapter 110: Please help
Shen Jiaru, as Liu Monong's sister of Hualou and a loyal supporter, took the opportunity to tell Liu Monong's current predicament, such as the decline in popularity, being hostile to other people in Xiangyun Pavilion, and possibly being replaced Hua Dan, and even the way out may be auctioned off by a powerful person at a high price.
After listening to this, Su Chen had already roughly understood Liu Monong's predicament, and said embarrassedly: "This, although I have the intention to help, but ...... Su doesn't have so much money, so he can redeem himself for Miss Liu and marry Su Mansion! ”
When Liu Monong heard this, his cheeks turned red, thinking that he really didn't understand it, or pretended to be confused!
Shen Jiaru glanced at him angrily, and said angrily: "Oh, it's not for you to redeem yourself for Sister Mo Nong and marry as a concubine, but to ask you to write a few high-quality lyrics, which can be widely circulated, quickly raise the popularity of Sister Mo Nong, and suppress the limelight of other Hua Dan in Runzhou, so that Sister Mo Nong will naturally be able to turn over." ”
Su Chen was a little embarrassed, he almost thought that the other party let him marry Liu Monong as a concubine, although she was very beautiful, but the key was that she was short of money!
"I see! However, to write poems and lyrics, you should invite the famous talents and new Kegong students in Runzhou, but why are you looking for me? Su Chen was a little puzzled.
Shen Jiaru and Liu Monong glanced at each other and thought: This Su Gongzi...... It's so good to pretend!
"Su Gongzi doesn't have to be humble, a few days ago at the Xufu Poetry Meeting, the concubine was present, the butterfly love flower and Su Musha made by Gongzi at that time were really wonderful, and the peach blossom poem was also excellent!" Shen Jiaru said with a faint smile.
"......" Su Chen was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly that her other identity was seen through by her.
Shen Jiaru continued: "Su Chenlang is also the son of Su Yixuan, right? ”
Su Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Since you have already guessed, then I won't hide it, because I usually don't like to be disturbed, I like to live a low-key life, I don't like to be a coquettish talent, it's not good to be too public." Therefore, I don't want to expose that identity to the public. ”
Liu Monong was afraid that he would be too careful, so he said softly: "Childe, please rest assured, no matter whether Gongzi Su helps the concubine or not, Mo Nong will be tight-lipped about your other identity." ”
Having said this, Su Chen was not perfunctory, and simply said: "It's not impossible to write two words to help you save your fame, but just relying on a few new words in this way will still have limited effect after all, and it is easy for the other party to listen to the content of the lyrics and songs, and also sing along, and the advantage cannot be opened." You can't always write new words in the next place, so you need to find another way. ”
What Su Chen said is true, the poems he memorized are limited after all, and he can't throw them all out here, how can he mix in the literary circle when he needs it in the future?
After Liu Monong heard this, he also felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so he asked, "Does Childe have any good suggestions?" ”
Su Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Just singing a song is too short and incoherent, and it can't form a huge fan effect. ”
"Fan effect?" Liu Monong was stunned for a moment, muttering four words, feeling a little difficult to understand.
Shen Jiaru was puzzled: "You won't let me tell a story with Sister Mo Nong, right?" ”
Su Chen shook his head and said: "Of course not, just saying that the storytelling is too monotonous, not suitable for you women, it is best to have a stage interpretation, singing and dancing and plot coexist, every few days, a new plot will be released, and the story will be continued, so that there are leading actors, swords, harlequins, and villains, so that the audience can enjoy them coherently." The content has lyrics, songs and dances, and characters' joys and sorrows, isn't it easier to attract people? ”
Liu Monong was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he said in surprise: "What does Su Gongzi mean, is he going to act on stage?" ”
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a place to perform "Hundred Opera" in the west of Luoyang City, which was called "Pingle Hall", which was the earliest known theater in ancient times. In the Sui Dynasty, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first month of each year, he summoned artists from all over the world to Luoyang, and ordered hundreds of officials to build sheds along the road, stretching for eight miles for performances, called "theater".
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a kind of stage that could shelter from the wind and rain, which was called the "music shed". There is an indoor stage in the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries from time to time, which is called "brocade feast" or "dance feast". The poet Bai Juyi once had the verse "Tile a brocade feast", which is written about this kind of stage.
It's just that most of the performances on the stage are acrobatic performances, and there are more martial artists, turning heels, swallowing knives and spitting fire, telling stories and singing songs, etc., the real opera and acrobatics have not yet risen, and the dramas of talented and beautiful women have not been put on the stage to perform.
In the Song Dynasty, with the promotion of "Goolan Washe", miscellaneous operas began to appear, but the real development and maturity were still operas in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, such as "The Legend of the West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion", "Peach Blossom Fan", "The Palace of Eternal Life", etc., which are known as the "Four Great Classical Dramas", all of which appeared in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
Su Chen smiled and said, "It can be understood like this!" Su can make a plan first, about the stage drama, the heroine and other supporting roles need to perform on the same stage, and many musical instruments are needed to cooperate to increase the rendering of stage effects. You need to invest money in the early stage, such as renovating the stage, you need to purchase lighting and props to cooperate, and the lyrics and character lines will be written out in the next for you to sing and perform, perhaps, you can change your situation and become an instant hit! ”
Shen Jiaru and Xiaohe are a little unbelievable, it's really hard to believe that this kind of novel stage performance can be accepted by the audience!
Liu Monong pondered for a while, looked at Su Chen with sincere eyes, and said softly: "Mo Nong can trust Su Gongzi's talent, since you say this, there must be a reason, can you ask Gongzi to write the copy and script first, so that Mo Nong can make a decision after researching it and see if it can be implemented." ”
Su Chen nodded and said: "Yes, it is related to the rise and fall of Xiangyun Pavilion, and it is indeed necessary to make steady progress, then I will give you one fold and two folds of the first book first." ”
There are a total of five books of "The Story of the West Wing", each with four folds, a total of twenty folds, Su Chen read it carefully when he was a graduate student in the Department of Chinese, and the story is still fresh in his memory.
Liu Monong nodded and said, "Okay, can Mo Nong watch Gongzi write on the side, you can personally study ink for Su Gongzi." ”
Shen Jiaru was a little stunned and said, "Sister Mo Nong, it's getting dark, it's time for us to go back for dinner." ”
Liu Monong shook his head, he was very interested in the drama that Su Chen was about to write, and planned to witness it on the spot, he looked at Su Chen with his eyes and said, "I don't know if I can eat some food at will in Su Mansion, and let's start the creation of the drama script?" ”
Su Chen didn't expect Liu Monong to be so anxious, but since he promised others, and the other party was in a predicament, it was understandable that he was so anxious, and the other party had just taken out a thousand taels as a consultation fee, Su Chen's favor increased greatly, couldn't he still take care of a meal?
"Of course, Ling'er, go out and buy some mutton and vegetables, let's eat hot pot together in the evening, it's hot, and it's also good for Miss Liu's body to ward off the cold."
Yang Linger hesitated, she didn't know what the relationship between these girls and her brother was, and she had doubts, but she still obeyed and obeyed.
Su Chen brought Liu Monong into the study, spread out the paper, Liu Monong stood at the table, stretched out his jade hand to personally study ink for him, accompanied by beautiful women, and his red sleeves added fragrance.
Su Chen took a deep breath, because of the relationship between the soul and the combination of the two soul powers, which led to his amazing memory, many articles and poems he had turned over in his previous life could be remembered clearly, although he could not completely copy it, but he was particularly impressed, and he could restore it to seven or eight percent.
After he wrote down the three words "The Legend of the West Chamber", he paused, and then started to write from the wedge: "The old man's surname is Zheng, and the husband's surname is Cui. Only gave birth to a little girl, the small character Yingying, 19 years old, a needle pointing to a female worker, poetry and books, and the ...... of those who are incompetent"
