Near the gate of Guanshishan Academy, a piece of original wasteland has been erected in just two months.

After several years of training, the level of Nanshan Construction Engineering is getting higher and higher.

For this kind of reinforced concrete building, once the foundation is leveled, the progress of construction is very fast.

"Lord Wang, this opera house can accommodate up to 3,000 people to watch performances at the same time, and it is definitely the largest single building in Chang'an City."

Xu Jingzong accompanied Li Kuan around the newly completed opera house.

It is said to be an opera house, but in fact, this building is far less beautiful than the various opera houses of later generations.

After all, it was simply surrounded by walls, and there was no particular duck-egg-shaped or spaceship-shaped appearance.

"It's not bad to be able to build like this in such a short period of time."

Although Li Kuan felt that the huge pillars in the middle of the opera house were very eye-catching, they would affect the vision of the audience in the back row to some extent.

However, at this time, there is no so developed steel frame structure technology, and there are no columns in the middle, and there is still a big problem in safety to build a huge building.

In this opera house, there will definitely be nobles in the future, and if there is a house collapse accident, it will be a lot of fun.

Anyway, the Tang Dynasty people have never seen this kind of building in these years, and the fact that the opera house can be built on such a scale is enough to cause everyone's surprise and admiration.

"Lord Wang, Miss Zixia, they are rehearsing "The Legend of the White Snake" backstage, do you want to go over and guide you?"

Zixia, as the teacher of Guanshishan Academy, was arranged by Li Kuan to be responsible for the drama transformation of "The Legend of the White Snake", and Xu Jingzong naturally cared more about her situation.

Maybe when, this will become one of his own mothers.

"Have you already moved here to rehearse? Then go over and have a look. ”

Li Kuan has seen a lot of various movies and TV series in later generations, but he has not watched many dramas in this era.

He was really a little curious about what Zixia and Kujou Xingxiang could toss "The Legend of the White Snake" into.

The opera houses have been specially built, and "The Legend of the White Snake" has also been specially written, if the adaptation of this drama is not good enough, it will be a bit unsuccessful to achieve its purpose of enriching the entertainment life of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking about it this way, Li Kuan became even more interested in today's rehearsal.

"Lord Wang, you're here!"

Zixia's eyes were sharp, and as soon as Li Kuan entered the backstage, she saw it.

"I heard that you have almost adapted the play of "The Legend of the White Snake", and now you are rehearsing, so I came over to take a look."

Qing'er was behind Li Kuan, and naturally knew that her prince had obviously come to see the situation of the opera house, but as a result, her mouth became a special visit to Miss Zixia, and she was also speechless for a while.

"That's right, the prince will point you out in a while, I always feel that there are many scenes described in the book, and there is no way to show them better."

Zixia was really busy during this time.

This "The Legend of the White Snake" is about 500,000 words long, and if you want to turn it into a drama, you have to think about each chapter many times.

Then you have to think about selecting the performers, preparing the props for the performance, and organizing the script of the play......

All kinds of chores, she has all gone around.

However, hard work is hard work, and she enjoys it.

"Okay, this king hasn't had anything else to do in the past two days, so let's take a good look at how your drama adaptation goes."

Li Kuan is not polite, if you want to say that he will adapt it in person, he is not necessarily very good at it.

But just talking on paper, finding faults, and making suggestions for improvement, that's absolutely fine.

"Lord Wang, I have arranged this drama into twenty-four scenes, the first of which is "Meeting at the West Lake", so we will perform this scene first?"

Zixia looked around and felt that the preparations were basically ready, so she proposed to start the rehearsal.

"Okay, then you are ready to start, this king will wait for you under the stage."

Li Kuan saw all the warblers and Yanyan in the background, and he didn't know how Zixia would arrange the performance for a while, and it was not convenient to make suggestions immediately.

……

"Smack!"

"Boom!"

After a few sounds of lightning that I don't know what struck the simulated thunder and lightning, the play officially began.

However, Li Kuan sat in the front row, but his brows were furrowed.

In the TV series of later generations, the first episode is very exciting, and the picture is impactful, but the current opening obviously does not meet my expectations.

However, after all, it was just the beginning, Li Kuanzhi didn't say anything, and continued to sit there and watch.

Soon, Bai Suzhen appeared, but she didn't expect it to be Zixia herself.

The lines and expressions of each character are still in place, and they look a little emotional.

It seems that Zixia has really put a lot of effort into it.

It's just that Li Kuan always feels that the impact of the picture is a little worse.

"Qing'er, what do you think?"

Seeing that the first "West Lake Meeting" had progressed to the acquaintance of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, Li Kuan asked Qing'er beside him in a low voice.

"Okay, very good, lord, I've never seen such a beautiful drama."

Although Qing'er was replying to Li Kuan's question, her eyes were staring at the stage without turning.

Li Kuanhu glanced at Qing'er suspiciously, and was sure that this girl was really fascinated by the drama on stage.

This Datang is really lacking in entertainment.

I think that the so-so performance can actually make Qing'er like this.

Wouldn't it be nice to add a little more spice to it......

Li Kuan continued to watch the performance, while thinking about how to make the scene more spectacular and impactful.

is like a drama in later generations, especially when it comes to such fairies and ghosts, how can it be worthy of the audience if it doesn't come out with a smoke-filled atmosphere?

It just so happens that I'm working on black powder for a while, so take some simplified versions of things out and make some smoke or noise in key places, and the effect will definitely be much better.

In fact, after the invention of gunpowder, it was first applied to all kinds of juggling and drama, and Li Kuan's doing so can be regarded as conforming to the historical trend and using multiple things.

"Lord Wang, what do you think?"

After more than half an hour, Zixia came to Li Kuan's side with sweat on her forehead.

Smelling the tea-scented perfume from Zixia's body, which was obviously produced by the Treasure Pavilion, Li Kuan felt a little more relaxed.

"It's good, the lines of each character have been carefully pondered, and the expressions are in place."

Li Kuan is now accustomed to the position of leader, and his speech is becoming more and more skillful.

"However, I think in the beginning, if you join ......"

Immediately afterwards, Li Kuan had an in-depth exchange of his thoughts with Zixia.

"Lord Wang, can you really do this? If this is the case, this drama will definitely be able to cause a very big response at that time. ”

Although Zixia had no way to imagine how the kind of scene Li Kuan said could be realized, she still very much supported the revision of this scene because of Li Kuan's consistent trust in Li Kuan.

"I'll let Liu Yuan come over later, and let him arrange a few people to assist you in rehearsing."

The opera house has been built, the play is already in rehearsal, and Li Kuan feels that he can start arranging the performance schedule.

Now is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, and the noble people of Chang'an City are taking time to go out.

When you come to the edge of Weishui, it should be a good choice to watch a show by the way.

……

In the Daming Palace, Li Kuan looked at the beautifully made ticket in front of him, a little speechless.

"Kuan'er is tossing his "The Legend of the White Snake" during this time? First he wrote a book, and then he made a play, and he was idle enough. ”

Li Zhong showed an embarrassed but polite smile and did not answer.

Sometimes, Li Shimin seems to be asking himself, but he doesn't need to answer anything.

Over the years, Li Zhong still has this tacit understanding.

"Who did he invite this time?"

"The princess of Chu, the queen and all other mothers, His Royal Highness the King of Chu have been invited. In addition, I heard that most of the noble officials in Chang'an City also received tickets, even Fang Xiang and Wen Xiang were no exception. ”

Obviously, this opera house will become a hot spot during this time, and Li Zhong sent someone to inquire about the opera house when Li Kuan arranged for people to distribute tickets.

As for "The Legend of the White Snake", he took the time to watch it twice.

For this reason, I wasted half a month of buying books.

"I heard that the opera house was built on a grand scale?"

"Yes, it is said that it can accommodate up to three thousand spectators, and the princess of Chu went to visit it yesterday."

"The concubine should also go to the premiere of "The Legend of the White Snake" this time, right?"

Li Shimin was struggling with whether to go or not.

On the one hand, he felt that he was an emperor and followed a bunch of people to watch a drama, which seemed a bit inappropriate, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no impeachment by the imperial history.

"The concubine Niangniang is a ticket personally sent by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and she should be in attendance."

Li Kuan: This is obviously using the ticket as an invitation.

For example, for the premiere of the opera house, the tickets are not sold to the public, and the gifts are all famous figures in Chang'an City.

Besides, if Li Shimin wants to attend, it doesn't seem very suitable if there are all the characters in it.

"Since the concubine is also present, then you can arrange it, and I will also go over and take a look at it when the time comes."

Li Shimin is actually very curious about this dramatic version of "The Legend of the White Snake" in his heart.

This Li Kuan has always been good at creating miracles, and vaguely, Li Shimin is full of interest in watching dramas.

……

Ajinomote.

"Shopkeeper Jin, I heard that you got the tickets for the premiere of "The Legend of the White Snake"?"

Jin Tai and Lao Hansan and Niu Joo-il.asxs. made a few Ajinomoto specialties and chatted while eating.

Jintai Iron Shop is now one of the few workshops in Chang'an City, with hundreds of craftsmen under it.

After successfully winning the transportation contract of Jin Taida's iron shop this year, Lao Hansan has been asking Jin Tai to come out for a meal together, and today he finally got his wish.

"Well, His Royal Highness King Tuochu, as the first batch of workshops to settle in the Workshop City, Steward Wang specially arranged for someone to send me a ticket."

Hearing Lao Hansan talk about the ticket, Mrs. Jin showed a somewhat smug look on her face.

In the past few days, the opera house built by His Royal Highness the King of Chu is about to start performing "The Legend of the White Snake", and the news immediately spread all over Chang'an City.

You must know that the book "The Legend of the White Snake" has now sold nearly 20,000 copies in Chang'an City, and almost everyone who can afford it has bought this book.

Even people who can't afford to buy books have basically heard this story to some extent.

After the news spread that the opera house was going to start performing the play "The Legend of the White Snake", it immediately aroused great interest among the people of Chang'an City.

As the departure began to give away tickets everywhere, everyone's interest became even stronger.

At first, the honorable officials who received the tickets didn't feel anything, thinking that the left and right were just a ticket, and it was hard to say whether they would appreciate their faces in the past.

Slowly, it seems that not everyone can receive tickets.

If you don't reach a certain level, or a certain social status, the Chu Wangfu will not take the initiative to send you a ticket.

For officials, because there are grades to follow, everyone's reaction is not so strong.

But for businessmen, they were immediately excited when they found that they had the opportunity to sit and watch a play with the top group of people in Chang'an City.

In the eyes of many businessmen, whether they can get this ticket or not marks their high status in Chang'an City.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Kim couldn't help but show a smug expression on her face when she heard Lao Hansan talk about the ticket.

"I heard that in the entire Chang'an City, there are less than 100 merchants who have obtained tickets for the premiere of "The Legend of the White Snake", and you are really enviable."

Lao Hansan's words, although there is a suspicion of sycophancy, but it can be regarded as from the heart.

"You don't have to be envious, after the premiere, the opera house will be open to the public, and then you can buy tickets for just a few dollars."

Mrs. Jin said in a tone that was very similar to the students who graduated from famous schools such as Beiqing in the later generations: Hey, in fact, a diploma is useless, and the key to entering the company is to rely on personal ability.

It's like a rich tycoon being interviewed and asked: Do you think it's important to make money?

People answer: Earning money is not the most important thing, at least not for me, because I have too much money, and it doesn't make much sense to earn more and earn less.

"Are tickets really on sale? I thought the rumors were false, so it seems that I need to pay attention to the movement at the opera house, so that I don't have to buy tickets by then. ”

Lao Hansan's face was full of longing, thinking about the scene where he grabbed the ticket.

……

As spring gradually comes to an end, the willow branches on both sides of Weishui are already flourishing.

From time to time, a few small birds flew around the trees.

In Weishui, as usual, flocks of ducks swam by from time to time, adding a bit of life to the river out of thin air.

The opera house is within a mile radius, and today it has been taken over by Qianniuwei.

There are also quite a few Jinwuwei patrolling the perimeter.

The people who came to see the play today have a high status and a large number of people, and Li Kuan also came over after breakfast to confirm the preparations, so don't have any accidents.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, why are these things so strange, don't let us try them?"

Li Junxian personally led a group of people to confirm the safety situation around the opera house.

Li Shimin will have to sit in the front row for a while, and if a drama takes this opportunity to assassinate, it will be dangerous.

Therefore, Li Junxian focused on confirming the various props and actors behind the stage.

"These things, which are used to produce fireworks and thunder for a while, are all disposables, and they are useless after trying them. General Lee, are you sure you want to give it a try? ”

Although Li Kuan knew that Li Junxian was very trusted by Li Shimin, he was a little unhappy when he saw him with a group of people rummaging around in the background.

"Can I try it?" Li Junxian didn't know if he really didn't understand or if he didn't understand.

"Today, the king specially invited the princess of Chu and the queen to watch the performance, if you are not afraid of a while because there are no such things to sweep the interest of the girls, then try."

"You ......"

Others are afraid of Li Kuan, but Li Junxian is not afraid.

As the general in charge of security affairs around Li Shimin, it is not a good thing to get too close to the princes and nobles, so Li Junxian has never given the princes any good looks.

However, hearing Li Kuan's half-threatening words, Li Junxian's face changed, and he finally endured it.

Li Kuan: He is not afraid.

But the princess of Chu and the queen mother, he still didn't dare to mess with it.

Li Kuan didn't bother to accompany Li Junxian to check everywhere anymore, and took Wang Xuance to the door to prepare to welcome guests.

As for the backstage here, leave it to Xu Jingzong to coordinate.

At this time, counting on Zixia to deal with these Qiu Ba is enough to choke.

……

Li Shimin's appearance today is relatively large.

After all, it is a trip that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know, and in order to maintain the royal prestige, there should be no less guard of honor.

However, there are benefits to this.

Li Kuan basically only needs to greet Li Shimin, as well as the princess of Chu and the eldest grandson who came together, and the others don't need to deal with it too much.

Even if the bigwigs like Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, and Wen Yanbo are here, they don't care if anyone says anything.

"Kuan'er, your battle is big enough, don't let me down for a while."

After the princess of Chu got out of the carriage, Li Kuan personally stepped forward to support her.

"Concubine Niangniang, Kuan'er has always been reassuring to do things, and I think he will definitely surprise everyone today."

Empress Eldest Sun also followed.

In order to arrange these female dependents, and considering that some noble female dependents will also come to the opera house during future performances, Li Kuan specially asked Yan Wenwen to design this opera house, and set up a box in the upper part of the back.

There is a guardrail in the way, unless the people in the box walk to the edge of the guardrail, otherwise it is really not easy for the people below to see the scene in the box.

"Well, that's right. Kuan'er, you accompany Your Majesty and them, and let Jingwen follow us. ”

The princess of Chu saw that not only Li Shimin was here today, but also many important ministers in the court were also present, and knew that it would not be very suitable for Li Kuan, the host, not to come forward to entertain him.

"Okay, then the grandson will go and take Your Majesty in first, and let Jingwen go to the box with you."

Li Kuan was not polite, and reminded him, "Jingwen, when the thunder comes in a while, remember to help grandmother cover her ears." ”

Then he followed Li Shimin and them into the opera house.

Although the opera house can accommodate up to 3,000 people, less than one-third of the people are allowed to enter today.

There were several gates to the opera house, and it didn't take much time for everyone to take their seats.

"Your opera house is very chic."

Li Shimin looked around and felt very strange.

"It's just average, compared to the performance for a while, this opera house is not brilliant at all."

Li Kuan watched the final rehearsal with Cheng Jingwen and Wu Meiniang yesterday, and he is still very confident in this performance.

"Oh, you're so confident in this show, then I'll have to enjoy it."

Li Shimin was originally curious about Li Kuan's appearance of being so excited, but now that he heard him say this, he was even more itchy, "Why don't you start the performance as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, Weichen will go backstage to take another look, and it will start in a while. However, at the beginning of the performance, everyone should be mentally prepared, there will be relatively large movements, which are all needed for the performance, not something. ”

After Li Kuan finished talking to Li Shimin, he also reminded Fang Xuanling and others around him.

It's hilarious if it freaks out a big guy.

"My courtiers of the Tang Dynasty are all able to fight on the horse and calm the people when they get off the horse, can they still be afraid of your performance? You hurry to the background and the notification begins. ”

Regarding what Li Kuan said, whether it was Li Shimin or Fang Xuanling, they didn't take it to heart.

No matter how big the movement is, can there still be the kind of movement of the Jin Ge Iron Horse on the battlefield?

Li Kuan saw that everyone didn't take it to heart, and didn't say anything more, got up and went backstage.

"Lord Wang, can you start?"

Zixia asked a little nervously.

Although she is also well-informed, it is the first time she has experienced a big scene like today.

She made a rough inquiry just now, and knew that almost all the leading figures in Chang'an City had come.

Even in the Daming Palace, it almost poured out.

"Just like yesterday, don't think about it so much."

Li Kuan turned around, saw that everyone had finished putting on makeup, and then notified everyone to get ready to start.

Soon, someone pulled the curtain, and under the busyness of a group of backstage personnel, various props were quickly placed everywhere on the stage, and Li Kuan also returned to Li Shimin.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, it seems that we still have to work a little more on His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if we can also support you, then our chances of winning will be much better."

Du Chuke sat in a row behind Li Tai and saw the scene in the field clearly.

Just a simple seat can make people feel a lot of things.

"I used to really look away, my second brother has become more and more terrible in the past few years, and this king has shown him kindness again and again, but he has not received a response."

Li Tai secretly regretted it in his heart.

In the early years, he looked down on Li Kuan.

But since the fifth year of Zhenguan, the situation seems to have changed.

By the time he reacted and wanted to win over, the other party was no longer a character he could win at will.

The only thing that comforted him was that Li Kuan did not stand on Li Chengqian's side, but walked very close to Li Zhi.

Could it be ......

Li Tai frowned, looking at the three huge "The Legend of the White Snake" falling above the curtain on the stage, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Wait for a thousand years, wait for a thousand years, wait for a thousand years, I have no regrets......"

The accompanying band began to beat various instruments, and the singer began to sing songs specially composed by Li Kuan, and the first premiere of the drama "The Legend of the White Snake" finally officially began.
