Changchun Garden's new play "Liang Zhu Change" is actually an adapted version of "Liang Zhu" that Tao Ban Master said to Chi Fei about the happy ending.

Although it is a happy ending, the Tao class master is also a veteran who has been immersed in Yin drama for many years, and he knows how to mobilize the audience's emotions.

Therefore, some rather tortuous plots were added at the back, which made this happy ending not easy to come by, and whetted the appetite of fans.

As for the good time when Liang Zhu and the others were studying in the mountains, he thought that there was no need to make any changes, so he conceived the script according to the original book.

Of course, the original novel itself is too long to be played entirely according to the novel, after all, the time for a play is limited.

Experienced playwrights will skip or skip some irrelevant plots and keep only the good parts.

The same is true of "Liang Zhugai".

Regarding why Liang Zhu and the others came to the mountain to study, there is not much description in the play, but Xiaosheng who plays Shanbo and Hua Dan, who plays Yingtai, sing separately in a cappella to explain the reason, which is the usual practice in opera.

Among them, Hua Dan, who plays Yingtai, uses subtle movements and physical reactions to vividly express the panic and anxiety of a girl who has never been far away when she first came to a place full of boys and completely unfamiliar.

is the so-called subtlety of kung fu, this is the difference between the pillars of a troupe and ordinary actors.

Next, it's the turn of Xiaosheng who plays Shanbo to appear.

He interprets the image of an honest and honest, but warm-hearted good man very well.

The opening and closing of the mouth are all "Brother Zhu Xian, let's go to dinner." ”

"Brother Zhu Xian, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time, you're welcome."

"Brother Zhu Xian, your handwriting is really beautiful, a bit like a girl. Ah, don't get me wrong, I didn't really say you look like a girl, it's just that the words are a bit similar, don't be angry. ”

"Brother Zhu Xian, don't be afraid, it's just a bug, I've already driven it away."

"Brother Zhu Xian, do you sleep without changing your clothes?"

"Brother Zhu Xian, don't you wipe your body? Do you want me to fetch water for you? I'm afraid you won't be able to bring it up. ”

"Brother Zhu Xian, why do you eat so little every time? You're so thin, you should eat more. ”

Looking at his silly appearance, many girls watching the play couldn't help but laugh.

The laughter comes and goes, crisp and pleasant.

When they read the script, they also found this paragraph very interesting. Now seeing the live performance, I can't help but laugh.

Yingtai finally stopped feeling nervous and uneasy under the call of "Brother Zhu Xian" one by one, and began to slowly adapt to the life of the private school.

Hua Dan, who plays Yingtai, also shows all kinds of trust in Shanbo in detail. Sometimes a smile from the bottom of your heart, or a gentle gaze from behind, is enough to convey this atmosphere of wholehearted belief in the other person.

This kind of treatment of showing sincerity in a silent place made the audience very engaged.

In the scene of catching fireflies at night, of course, this kind of weather troupe can't really catch a large number of live fireflies, and even if the fireflies can shine in the daytime, the audience can't see it at all.

Therefore, this scene can only rely on the actors to use their acting skills to bring the audience into that virtual scene.

And Hua Dan, who plays Yingtai, is worthy of being the pillar of Changchun Garden, she uses a surprising expression, tone, and action of catching fireflies, so that the audience has an illusion that there are really countless fireflies around her.

She also pulled Liang Shanbo, who had just fallen asleep, up and asked him to go with her to catch fireflies.

Shanbo has long been accustomed to her various little willfulness, so he can only helplessly help her catch fireflies together. The clumsy action soon drew laughter from many in the audience.

Seeing this, Mrs. Anshun Hou Liao couldn't help but say to Mrs. Chengenhou Zhang next to her: "This new drama is quite good-looking, no wonder even Shi'er, an anxious girl, will come over to watch it." ”

Zhang whispered, "It's really good." I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess ordered this play for my old lady, and said that she should try it. ”

"I see."

The next performance is other scenes when Liang Zhu and the two are studying and living together on the mountain.

When the two of them had an awkward relationship, when they saw Yingtai crying because of their grievances, the girls in the audience couldn't wait to rush onto the stage and shake the nerd's head and roar: Yingtai is in a hurry with you because you praise other girls indiscriminately, are you embarrassed to be angry with others with a straight face?

It wasn't until later that the two finally reconciled, and the girls in the audience showed a smirk like Shanbo.

Of course, because of the limited time, it is impossible to reproduce all the scenes, so I can only pick a few more classic scenes to play.

But even so, the two pillars of Changchun Garden still brought the audience fascinated and carried away with their wonderful performances.

Even the elderly ladies were fascinated.

Soon, three years have passed, and Yingtai will go down the mountain and go home. Next is another climax of the whole play: eighteen miles of send-off

The two pillars show this scene very beautiful and sad, and the pause, as well as the complex psychology of wanting to say goodbye, or should I say that I don't know what to say, are in place.

In fact, for this scene, it took Tao Banzhu six days to finally determine the current performance method through continuous on-site drills and action choreography.

When the two finally made a marriage contract for the two families, those ladies who had not read the original book were relieved and felt that the two finally had a chance to be together.

Only the girls who had read the original book were not happy at all, because they knew that the next step was the beginning of the tragedy.

However, to their surprise, the next plot seems to be different from the original book.

When he learned that Yingtai was Zhu Jiumei, Shanbo immediately asked his mother to send someone to Zhujiazhuang to ask Zhu Jiumei for marriage.

But Yingtai's father, Zhu Yuanwai, looked down on Shanbo, who was from a poor family, so he directly rejected the other party's proposal.

When Yingtai learned about this, he immediately begged his father to agree to this family affair, and made it clear that he would not marry.

Only then did Zhu Yuanwai know that his daughter had made a private agreement with her classmate Liang Shanbo for life, and he was immediately furious and locked her up.

Fortunately, Yingtai had a loyal maid by his side who didn't want the young lady to continue to be sad, so he took the risk of informing Shanbo of the news.

After Shanbo learned the news, he was both heartbroken and moved, so he came to Zhujiazhuang in person to talk to Zhuyuanwai in person.

However, Zhu Yuanwai did not want to see him and turned him away.

Shan Bo had no choice but to turn his heart sideways and kneel directly at the door, until the wisher was willing to see him.

This kneeling lasted for two days and two nights, and Shanbo did not enter a drop of water, and his face had become very pale. But for the sake of Yingtai, he continued to grit his teeth and endure it.

It wasn't until noon on the third day, when Shanbo was about to pass out that the door finally opened.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanwai was moved by his sincerity and decided to meet with him.

After some detailed talks, Zhu Yuanwai could see that this young man really liked his daughter.

For the sake of his daughter Yingtai, he decided to give him a chance: as long as Shanbo was admitted to Xiucai within three years, he would marry his daughter Yingtai to him.

Shanbo immediately agreed, and after leaving a letter to Yingtai, he returned to the mountain and began to study hard.

Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after three years of hard study day and night, Shanbo finally succeeded in being admitted to Xiucai.

And Zhu Yuanwai also kept his promise and married his daughter Yingtai to him.

When the two were getting married and worshipping in the church, Shanbo grabbed Yingtai's hand tightly and showed a smile that was both honest and satisfied.

And Yingtai, who was draped in a red cloth on his head, also held his hand hard, and the corners of his mouth that emerged from under the red cloth had an equally joyful and sweet smile.

The whole play finally ended with a happy reunion.

All the audience in the audience couldn't help but applaud, and many of them had satisfied expressions on their faces.

Of course, the people who watch the play here are all ladies and ladies from good backgrounds, and they pay great attention to manners. It will not be like ordinary people outside who will applaud loudly because they see a wonderful performance, at most they will applaud to express their appreciation.

Many young ladies who had read the original book began to talk about this play with great interest, even the ladies of the family who sat with Jian Shushi were no exception.

"If you want me to say, it's good that the ending of "Liang Zhu" was changed like this, at least it won't be so sad to watch."

"I think so too. No wonder this play is called "Liang Zhugai", which originally meant that the ending of the story had been changed. ”

"I wondered why "Liang Zhu" would be staged on such a big day, but it turned out to be like this."

"It's really touching to see Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai finally get together."

"Yes, yes, I'm too moved."

"Ashi, why don't you speak? Don't you also like the script "Liang Zhu"? ”

"I don't know what to say. I just think that the ending has changed like this, as if something is missing, but I can't tell what is missing. ”

"Yes, I think so too. Although the ending looks good, it always feels like it doesn't have the original flavor. ”

"Alright, you don't have to go any further. It's just a play, didn't you see that there was one more word in the title of the play? Anyway, just have fun watching it. ”

"Well, you have a point. Although I prefer the original, I admit that the play is indeed very well acted. ”

"Changchun Garden is worthy of being the first time-honored brand in the Beijing opera troupe, and it is indeed extraordinary. You wait, this drama will soon be popular all over the capital. ”

Sure enough, this drama soon became the hottest drama in Beijing. When many dignitaries and nobles hold happy events at home, they will invite Changchun Garden to perform this play.

The Tao class master of Changchun Garden didn't dare to take too much, and only took a few people who couldn't afford to offend, as well as people who had made an appointment early in the morning.

Even so, all the schedules of the entire troupe have been filled, and there is no gap at all.

When other theater troupes saw this drama so popular, of course they refused to let go of the opportunity to make money. Since others are unwilling to teach, they can only steal teachers.

So when many opera troupes tried their best to perform this play in Changchun Garden, they found people who knew how to sneak into the scene to peek and learn, try to memorize the lines, appearance, figure, movements, singing, etc., and then come back for rehearsals.

So it didn't take long for more and more opera troupes in Beijing to start staging the play "Liang Zhugai".

Although it is still far from Changchun Garden, it at least meets the needs of many wealthy families who want to invite an opera troupe to perform this play at home.

With the popularity of this play, the original novel "Liang Zhu" once again ushered in a wave of big hits.

So far, it has been printed in the fifth edition, which is very rare in the world of discourse.

Just when "Liang Zhu" continued to be popular, a book called "Xianxia" suddenly quietly put on the shelves in all bookstores in Beijing.

However, anyone who has seen this book will involuntarily pick it up and read it.

The book is striking because of the extra paper strip about the height of an index finger in the middle of its cover.

On this not-so-wide paper tape, there are several eye-catching big characters printed horizontally: Liang Zhu author Chi Fei's latest masterpiece.

Whether it is this never-before-seen waist cover or the words written on it, it is enough to make anyone who has seen this book full of curiosity about it, so that they will unconsciously pick it up and look through it.
