Chapter 247: Gourd Baby!

No matter how crazy it is, he won't go directly to someone's house to assassinate him, and the last thing the three of them think of is to buy murder.

The family still has some money, enough to buy a murderer, but they can't buy an assassin who killed Li Chengqian, this is a rebellion, and no one dares to do it.

Li Chengqian decided to go to these places to buy murderers first, he sent people to find these people, explained their intentions, no matter how much money the three of them paid, just take it, and then take the evidence to find these three crazy people.

The people who were originally prepared to protect seemed a bit redundant, Li Chengqian didn't expect that the actions of the three people would be known so clearly by himself, it seems that these three people are completely hopeless, and the prevention work is actually done so poorly!

In fact, the reason why the people sent out by Li Chengqian are a bit powerful, the people who do things for him are all very capable people, and they are usually not inconspicuous, and when they need to take action, it will really surprise people.

Sure enough, when the three of them took the money to buy the murderer and were ready to leave after giving the money, as a result, several bad people suddenly appeared outside the door.

Then, the three of them were arrested, after all, in this kind of place, it is appropriate for bad people to come, and it is not suitable for others to come.

Murdering the royal family is a capital crime! Although the few people Li Chengqian found were far away from their relatives, they even had a little bit of a clue in it.

But some crimes, once pressed, are irrefutable capital crimes!

The three were sentenced to death, and Li Chengqian was finally comfortable, and he could concentrate on the production of gourd babies.

He is not a professional storyteller, so he can't write the story of the gourd baby himself.

He's not an animator either, so he can't design good-looking animated images, so it's understandable that he hasn't practiced.

Therefore, he took out a gourd baby picture book he received, hey, this is very comfortable.

To be honest, the picture book is a very hard-core animation style, that is, the original gourd baby cartoon is reproduced on paper.

Li Chengqian thinks that this kind of picture book must not sell well, because you look similar to the animation, everyone doesn't like to watch it, there are things that can be moved, why should you watch things that can't be moved?

Fortunately, Datang is not the future, the current people have never seen much of the world, such a picture book is not bad, if it is made into a shadow puppet show, I am afraid it will be even more popular.

Having something is easy to do, Li Chengqian directly bought a shadow puppet team, and then bought more than a dozen craftsmen who made shadow puppets by the way.

The people in the Prince's Mansion were stunned, they didn't know what the hell Li Chengqian was going to do, what were so many people going to do!

Li Chengqian said: "You guys give me the best shadow puppet show!" ”

The craftsman said: "Our best shadow puppet play is called the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, if Your Highness likes it, we can give His Highness a performance." ”

"Sure enough, it's something to fall in love with, okay, as I expected, then give me a paragraph." Li Chengqian said.

started to perform, to be honest, the shadow puppet is not very good-looking, there is still a gap compared with later generations, and the workmanship is a little rough.

Xiao Ningzi said on the side: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, our saint has specially raised a shadow puppet team, which is better than these people, you go to the saint and talk to him, he may let them perform for us." ”

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows: "Get out, Lao Tzu's money has been spent, you only say it now, besides, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, since these people are not the most powerful shadow puppet team, then I will make them the most powerful!" ”

Anyway, he was confident that he could do it.

After a short time, the shadow puppet performance of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl was completed, and Li Chengqian began to comment.

"Knocking, playing, playing and singing, you have to express the right emotions at the right time, you have to express sad emotions when you are sad, and you have to express happy emotions when you are happy."

"And you make the shadow puppet move, be restrained, don't shake too much, my viewing experience has deteriorated!"

"In the end, your shadow puppets are not good-looking, and they do not reflect the characteristics of these characters."

As soon as Li Chengqian said it, there were a lot of them, and no matter how others looked at it, they were talking about the army on paper, and talking about the army on paper was the most unacceptable.

"Negative sentiment from Zhao Da Niu, +155"

"Negative sentiment from Zeng Tiezhu, +158"

"From ......"

A large number of negative emotions let Li Chengqian know that what he said was not wrong, and these people were doing something inadequate in these places.

Li Chengqian said: "You guys think more here, I will discuss with the craftsmen about making new shadow puppets. ”

A few craftsmen were a little uncomfortable, they were on the side when Li Chengqian spoke before, and they heard it very clearly, what Li Chengqian said!

And now, torturing them again?

Li Chengqian said: "I think the shadow puppets you make have great shortcomings, the biggest disadvantage is that the characters are face-painted, all the same, what I want is a different shadow puppet, each person, is an independent individual." ”

The craftsman was so surprised that he was speechless, shadow puppets are made, not born, even if they are born people, they all look very similar, let alone make shadow puppets!

"What's your problem?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I don't know what His Highness has to remind us, we really don't know what to do!" The craftsman said.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, he knew that the opportunity had come.

"Okay, I'll give you a question now, there are seven children, all of whom look the same, are the same age, and are the same height, how can we make them different?" Li Chengqian asked.

The craftsmen were stunned, they were craftsmen, not students of the imperial examination! How do they know how to answer such a question?

A craftsman tentatively said, "How about the different clothes?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "It's a little bit, what else? ”

The rest shook their heads.

Li Chengqian took out the book of the gourd baby and showed it to everyone.

"See, these seven gourd babies are the best example, they look exactly the same, they are carved out of a mold, but we can still see that they are very different." Li Chengqian said.

Several craftsmen looked at the gourd babies in the book, with a thoughtful look in their eyes, indeed, these seven gourd babies look about the same, but everyone can distinguish them very clearly.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, the colors of the gourd, clothes, and pants on the top of the head are all different, so that the seven gourd babies are clearly divided.

Li Chengqian said: "You just make the gourd baby and other characters in this picture book, hurry up and do it, I want to use it." ”

Several craftsmen made shadow puppets, and Li Chengqian began to instill the story of the gourd baby in others.

"First of all, you need a few voice actors who dub the gourd baby, and you also need other voices, such as snake spirits, grandpa's ......," Li Chengqian said.

His words made the people of the shadow puppet team stupid.

How did shadow puppetry play before? The best of them sang for the longest time, and the others sang a few words once in a while, and a shadow puppet performance was over.

A craftsman said: "The gourd baby must be not very old, how can a child learn to sing?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled slightly: "Who said that shadow puppetry has to be sung?" Can't you just say it? Just like we speak in reality, we perform with emotion. ”

A few people looked at Li Chengqian stupidly, this seems to be the first time he has brought it up......

"Think about it, this kind of shadow puppet show, everyone looks more enjoyable, more barrier-free, not only older people like to watch it, but children also like to watch it." Li Chengqian said.

"Children look at it, and they don't give money!"

"You're wrong, children's money is the best way to make money!" Li Chengqian said.

There was no way for a few people to discuss and come up with a plan.

"What our troupe lacks is the voice of the gourd baby, I don't know if His Highness can find it?" A craftsman said.

Li Chengqian said: "This is simple, as long as the women are trained as simple voice actors, they can be allowed to play gourd babies." ”

In fact, the voice actors of the protagonists in many cartoons are adult women, and it is very unrealistic for children to dub them, and not many children have such perseverance.

Soon, a woman came out of the troupe, a little thin and looked a little malnourished.

"Your Highness, I want to try."

"Very good, I'll teach you how to dub it." Li Chengqian said.

The woman listened carefully to Li Chengqian's explanation.

"If you want to be a good voice actor, you must practice qi first." Li Chengqian said.

The woman was a little in a daze, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a very powerful master of qi training......

Li Chengqian said: "It seems difficult to say, but in fact, it is breathing, the teeth are bitten, and the lips are only left with a small slit to breathe, you try." ”

The woman tried, and felt a little thirsty after a short time.

"Keep going, don't stop." Li Chengqian said.

The woman can only continue.

"Negative sentiment value from Zhou Lanfang, +188"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, it seems that the first practice time is still not too long.

"Then there's the vocal exercise, and I'll listen to the child's voice if you learn it." Li Chengqian said.

Zhou Lanfang tried to study, but her throat was a little dry because of her breathing, her voice was dry, and she overturned.

"Come on, get her some sugar water."

It didn't take long for the sugar water to come, this is the taste that Zhou Lanfang has never drunk, the sweetness is very sweet, but it is not the kind of very greasy sweetness, but the kind of very comfortable sweetness, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

"Try again."

Zhou Lanfang tried again.

Li Chengqian was surprised, he learned like a child's voice, and he had a future!

"Have you practiced?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I learned to sing with the master."

"Yes, there is a future, you don't have to sing in the future, you have to learn to speak, what you say is infectious, and you have to learn a little different children's voice." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness, do you want to put on a show for me?"

"I'll forget it, you study hard!"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he left directly, almost revealing his stuffing, but in fact, he didn't know how to dub.

However, dubbing is really not difficult, especially for a person who has practiced singing, dubbing can indeed be learned quickly.

Talking is like walking, singing is like running, you can run, and it's actually a very simple thing to walk beautifully.

Soon, the shadow puppet show was almost rehearsed, and Li Chengqian received an invitation from Li Shimin.

Wang De said: "The sage heard that you have recently made a shadow puppet team, and he happens to have one, so it is better to compare whose shadow puppet is better." ”

Li Chengqian said: "No, my shadow puppet team has only been done for a long time, and his shadow puppet team has been around for so long, I can't compare!" ”

"It's okay, it's just to have fun, and it's not that there is any punishment for losing, of course, if you perform well, maybe the saint will reward you."

Li Chengqian thought about it and agreed.

He gathered his shadow puppet team.

"Tonight, you have to exchange performances with the saint's shadow puppet team, and you will perform the latest gourd baby." Li Chengqian said.

"We haven't memorized the lines yet."

"It's okay, just read it, and when the time comes, post the lines backstage, and you can just read it." Li Chengqian said.

He sighed a little, such a cheating thing as a teleprompter actually appeared so early, haha......

With the teleprompter, the progress of everyone's rehearsal has really increased greatly, and the gourd baby has been rehearsed almost in one day.

In the evening, the ministers, princes and princesses attended the dinner, and Li Chengqian saw the gap between his shadow puppet team and Li Shimin's shadow puppet team, and realized that it was different!

Li Shimin's shadow puppet team is amazingly large in white cloth, almost the size of a room, while his is only the size of a wardrobe.

Cheng Biting Jin: "Prince, yours are not big enough!" Not even half of your father's! ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, is this talking about human words! What do you mean by not being big enough, less than half? He doesn't blow or black, and everyone who has used it says it's good! It's all inseparable from him!

Li Chengqian said: "The size of the white cloth is not a problem, it mainly depends on the story. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes lit up: "You have a new story?" ”

"That's right! You'll find out then. ”

During the preparation, Li Chengqian's shadow puppet team accidentally revealed a gourd baby, and Li Tai's eyes suddenly straightened! Isn't that a gourd baby! It's exactly the same as the story of the gourd baby that Li Chengqian said before!

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Do you remember the story I told about the gourd baby?"

"Remember, good story."

"Isn't that it?"

Li You looked at the direction pointed by Li Tai, it was indeed a gourd baby! The face is chubby and cute, not at all like the shadow puppet shows I watched before, the face is an awl!

Li Tai came to the vicinity of Li Chengqian.

"Do you want to play a gourd baby in your shadow puppetry?" Li Tai asked.

"You can see it, yes, it's a gourd baby." Li Chengqian said.

Li Tai said: "How to perform fire-breathing water? ”

"You'll find out then." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin was going to make some powerful shadow puppet show, but he didn't expect it to be the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Even the little shadow puppet team knows that what the saint likes is what the people like.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly. It seems that this time, it will be him who wins, no way, although the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is very good, everyone is tired of watching it.

Cheng Yanjin is an example, he has been yawning all the time, and he is not even interested in the part where the cowherd is bathing in the lake ob fairy.

Cheng Yanjin said: "What's so nice about taking a bath? Boring! ”
