Chapter 284: Ideology
Li Chengqian would not have anything else to do when he looked for Sun Xiangfu, and he handed Sun Xiangfu a thick book, which was a drama he adapted from the situation of Sun Xiangfu's Shuozhou battle.
"Uh, this, isn't it a bit exaggerated, and also, the Turks are now my Tang Dynasty, and what you want to express in this drama needs to be greatly changed." After watching a short paragraph, Sun Xiangfu frowned.
"That's why I asked the teacher to help me take a look! Time is very tight, I want to play it during the Spring Festival. Li Chengqian said as if he had expected it.
"Spring Festival? It's been a few days, and are you sure that the person who starred in the whole play will be able to adapt to the new script? ”
"No problem, the people I'm looking for have solid basic skills, and it won't take a few days to memorize lines."
Young children dare to think and do, but from the context of the script, Sun Xiangfu did see some of Li Chengqian's talents in this area, he is not yet twelve years old! When I was twelve years old, I was definitely not as good at writing essays as he was.
"The matter of the script, you can ask your master to help revise it, it is best to let her choreograph and direct this play, in addition, give you some wind in advance, next year your father may tour the north, you must follow the past, this is very important for your future."
Sun Xiangfu wants to promote national integration for a long time, then, for the education of the next generation of emperors, of course, the sooner the better, if it is in Shanyang, Li Chengqian can not only follow Sun Xiangfu and his wife to learn more knowledge of artistic performance, but also learn, see some of Sun Xiangfu's governance ideas, and at the same time, it is possible for him to be loved by the Hu people.
Of course, the best situation is that Li Shimin came back after the northern tour, put Li Chengqian next to Sun Xiangfu, and followed the disciples of the peasant sect to learn more practical knowledge.
Li Chengqian didn't understand what Sun Xiangfu meant by 'crucial', and he was now bent on performing the drama he had written.
The carriage soon arrived at the Furong Garden, and before reaching the Wangjiang Tower, Sun Xiangfu saw his own brightly lit castle, even if there are more mansions in the Furong Garden now, but this completely different style of castle-type building is also the most dazzling among them, his characteristic is that the highest spire is higher than the city wall of Chang'an City.
A series of outdoor entertainment facilities in Wangjiang Tower have all been built, but in the cold weather, there are not many people playing, and Sun Xiangfu has no time to take a closer look, and after entering the hall with Li Chengqian, he found that Wangjiang Tower basically has no guests tonight.
This year is a disaster year, Guanzhong since the plague in Weinan County, although there is no starvation everywhere, the picture of cannibalism, but the harvest of each family is greatly discounted, especially some of the powerful families who follow the trend of hoarding grain, are exhausted by the soaring and plummeting food prices, who would have expected that in the disaster year, there will be several rounds of decline in grain!
Therefore, after the peak period of dinner, the hall is basically empty, unlike in previous years, when there were some people who were drunk and partyed all night, but it was just the right time for the stage team to rehearse and walk the stage.
As the largest shareholder of Wangjiang Tower, and came with the prince, a group of stewards and staff of Wangjiang Tower naturally wanted to come up to see the ceremony, and the movement was very big, just when Sun Xiangfu wanted to gather them to order the banquet tomorrow, so he asked people to go to the upstairs guest room to call Dongzhu over, and in addition, he also notified his own virtuous assistant Yu Xiu'er to control the things on the stage.
"Big man, is this the singing and dancing artist of Wangjiang Tower? How are there so many people. Dongzhu walked down the stairs, staring at the group of people in the center of the hall who were chatting with Sun Xiangfu, and asked Yu Chi Baolin, who was following her.
After more than two years of development, Wangjianglou's performance system has become more and more huge, and now, the actors and staff in front of and behind the scenes have a small 2,000 people, among them, many of them have become famous, such as the cross talk of Zhang San and Li Si combination, now the audience sees them, they all like to scream, every time they appear, whether it is a new joke or an old joke, they can receive a lot of flower basket rewards, which makes them make up jokes The creative ability has also improved a lot, money and fame are the driving force behind the development and strengthening.
Now the magnates of Chang'an City often take out some of the jokes they say to ridicule each other, joke, and tease the culture of boring people, which can be regarded as opening up in their hands, but don't underestimate this kind of market culture, which can make the more dull ancients improve a lot of communication skills.
Of course, when they saw Sun Xiangfu, a figure like a grandfather, the two of them still bowed respectfully, and they were able to have today's popularity and income, but they were all thanks to Sun Xiangfu.
Yu Chi Baolin, who came downstairs with Dongzhu, knew what was going on when he saw the situation here, and explained to Dongzhu, "You don't know this!" There are many actors performing in front of the stage of Wangjiang Tower, and there are more staff behind the scenes, just now Zhengming asked me to call you, just to find some people to dance with you, sing with you, believe it or not, in less than half an hour, he can find dozens of dancers who can dance according to your style. ”
"Half an hour? So powerful? I practiced these songs and dances, but I practiced them for more than two months! ”
Dongzhu still didn't believe it when she heard this, but Li Xiangdie, who came later, relieved her doubts.
"Professional singing and dancing artists, listening to music and dancing, just like a singer plucking the strings and singing poetry, you can easily bring it, just unify the dance steps, and soon you can arrange a dance, Wangjianglou stage is the best stage in the whole Tang Dynasty, if you want to perform on it, you have to have enough strength, don't say that you have only practiced for two months, it is me, I have practiced for more than ten years, and I may not be able to adapt to it all at once, your performance tomorrow is for the emperor to see, be sure to obey the command and arrangement of the on-site director, and show your performance as perfectly as possible."
Li Xiangdie is already half of Dongzhu's teacher, her attainments in singing and dancing are much better than Yu Xiuer, but her books are not as much as Yu Xiu'er's, and she is not as close as Yu Xiu'er's contact with Sun Xiangfu, so she can't learn some of Sun Xiangfu's ideas beyond this era.
Hundreds of musicians took their places after getting their scores, and within a few minutes, under the baton of a musician, began to conduct the music.
Soon, Dong-joo's scalp was tingling with the powerful performance, which was the first time the musicians had played together.
"This, this, this is amazing. How did they do it? ”
"They have systematically learned how to read the score, as long as they play against the score, they will not make mistakes, and after they are familiar with the score a few times, they can play it immediately, of course, if they want to achieve perfection, they need to practice many times, you listen carefully to the changes, you can know how much difference they are playing now and after the completion of the group practice."
Li Xiangdie's implication is that the performance that Dongzhu has heard now is not the best, she is a girl who grew up on the grassland, and she has never seen several musical instruments, and how can she know how good this kind of concert-level performance can be on the Wangjianglou stage.
After Sun Xiangfu greeted the musicians and dancers, he handed over the matter to Yu Xiu'er, for these musicians and dancers, it is actually commonplace to perform for the emperor.
When Sun Xiangfu and Li Chengqian left the stage and walked to sit down in front of a stage on the side, Hou Shuya, who came to Wangjiang Tower with Yu Xiu'er, came over to them.
"Teacher, how long has it been since I saw you, the student misses you!"
The girl is precocious, Hou Shuya is only about eleven years old, and her height is not much worse than Yu Xiu'er, Sun Xiangfu nodded and motioned for her to sit down together, and said, "Next year, the teacher will still stay in Shanyang most of the time, and you will also go with the teacher, in addition to arranging your drama during this time, I will go back to see your father and mother more, and in the future, it will be a year and a half, but I won't see it." ”
"Hehe, Shi Niang has already told me, I heard that Shanyang is very beautiful, there are flowers everywhere, I just want to go and see it!"
The girl is so innocent and thinks less, if her father knew that Sun Xiangfu wanted her to go to Shanyang to perform for Hu Ren, it was estimated that she would jump angrily, Hou Junji now regarded her as the future queen.
"Well, after the spring of Shanyang, it is a sea of flowers, and the scenery is very beautiful, but you can't just play it, you have to learn a lot, and be a useful person to the country and society."
Sun Xiangfu instructed them two sentences, and then began to tell them that he wanted to spread culture and promote national integration through drama performances.
After a few performances, Dongzhu was called onto the stage by Yu Xiu'er, and Dongzhu was still a little uncomfortable in the face of a venue that was even more empty than Shanyang Drama Theater, even if it was only a rehearsal now.
"Don't worry! According to the singing you usually practice, as long as the harmony backing vocals find your timbre, you don't have to worry about your voice being overshadowed by the sound of the instrument. ”
In the era when there is no microphone sound, a person's voice is easily covered by the sound of dozens or hundreds of musical instruments, so when performing on such a large stage as Wangjianglou, the number of harmonic accompaniment singers will be particularly large, and even so, it is not guaranteed that when the audience is full, everyone can hear the singer's singing.
"I came from the grassland, warm your heart ······"
When Dongzhu sang the second half of the chorus for the first time, the harmonic backing vocals finally caught her timbre and gradually joined in, and suddenly, the unprecedented experience made Dongzhu feel very cool, it turned out that the performance could achieve such a level.
There is no reason for it, now there are no guests in the restaurant, empty, after the harmony accompaniment amplifies her voice, it is on par with the sound played by the instrumental performance team, harmonious, the penetration and rendering of the whole performance is better than that of her in Shanyang Drama Theater, when she used those musicians in Yangzhou to score music, it has gone to a new level, and Dongzhu, who gradually has a level of music appreciation, can naturally feel it, and on the stage, it has become more enthusiastic.
"This grassland woman has some comprehension, and the cooperation with Yu Chi Baolin is seamless, teacher, you asked her to come to Chang'an to perform, just to make our Han people like their grassland songs and dances!" Li Chengqian was very interested in the new song performed by Dongzhu, and commented after listening to it.
"Well, your comprehension ability is not low, so after you go back, you have to think more about how to make those people on the grassland also like the songs and dances of our Han people."
For Li Chengqian to draw inferences, Sun Xiangfu is naturally gratified, the ancients are not only not stupid, but also very smart, Sun Xiangfu only needs to guide them to a track, they don't need to do everything themselves, they themselves will go further and further on this road, the performance system of Wangjianglou is like this, the development system of Happy Village is the same, Li Chengqian is the same, after learning some of Sun Xiangfu's thoughts, maybe he is a ruler of the world!
