198 [Ignorance of lifting]
The business model of Tianjin Department Store is very advanced, the lower floors are for selling things, the fifth floor is a theater, the sixth floor is a cinema, and the seventh floor is a roof garden for tours. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The entertainment venues on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors of info, collectively known as the Central Plains Amusement Park, have just recently opened.
"Mr. Zhou, please take a seat!" Theater manager Lin Bin came to greet Zhou Hexuan courteously.
Zhou Hexuan walked to the front and sat down, and the old guy next to him snorted coldly when he saw him. Looking at that appearance, it is estimated that he is a former Qing widow, and he is quite unkind to Zhou Hexuan.
On the edge of the stage of the theater, the recording staff was already guarding the machine and was preparing, which was to come to record Peking Opera on the spot.
To be honest, the recording equipment of the 20s was very primitive, coupled with the noisy theater environment, all kinds of noise were recorded, and the distortion of sound quality was very serious.
But there is no way, Zhou Hexuan can't pay for it and invite the troupe to record it alone, the cost is too high.
In the current recording of this scene, Zhou Hexuan not only does not have to give money, but the Central Plains Amusement Park is instead paying money.
Just two days ago, Zhou Hexuan's China Radio Station broadcast two consecutive Peking Opera performances in Tianjin Quanyechang, and they were performed by Mei Lanfang. Although the sound quality is relatively poor, it has won the popularity of many listeners, after all, not everyone has the time and money to listen to Mei Lanfang singing.
Zhongyuan Amusement Park has just opened, and Tianjin Quanye Market is regarded as its biggest competitor, so it is natural that it will not miss the new play of radio stations. They invested 200 yuan and asked Zhou Hexuan to play their amusement park for a week in the show.
Not only that, Zhou Hexuan also had another request, that is, to let the Central Plains Amusement Park invite Meng Xiaodong's troupe to sing eight plays every month.
The two sides hit it off, the Central Plains Amusement Park needs a famous actor like Meng Xiaodong to gather popularity, and Meng Xiaodong also needs a large theater like the Central Plains Amusement Park to make money.
The first performance was not Peking Opera, but magic.
Before the performance started, the old man next to Zhou Hexuan said angrily: "You are the Sven scum Zhou Hexuan?" ”
Zhou Hexuan smiled instead of being angry: "Exactly, I don't know who you are this old thing?" ”
The old man held his hands high to the north and replied, "Old man Zheng Xiaoxu is a contemporary emperor!" ”
Hey, it turned out to be Pu Yi's teacher, no wonder he talked to Zhou Hexuan so impulsively.
Zheng Xiaoxu was the Xie Yuan of the eighth year of Guangxu, served as Li Hongzhang's staff, and regarded himself as a widow after the Xinhai Revolution. In two months, this person will go to Japan to help Pu Yi plan restoration activities, and later become the prime minister of the puppet Manchukuo.
However, Zheng Xiaoxu's prime minister only served for one year before he was ousted by the Japanese with salary deductions, because the Japanese wanted to eliminate Pu Yi's henchmen and make it easier for them to control the puppet emperor.
As for why Zheng Xiaoxu appeared in the Central Plains Amusement Park today, just look at the couplet at the gate of the amusement park. The couplet was written by Zheng Xiaoxu, and the content is: There is little wind and clouds, there is a lot of love for children, and the talent of the world is empty; Loyalty and filial piety, fame and fame, and generous friends in tragic songs.
On the surface, the couplet is writing about the drama stage, but secretly it is Zheng Xiaoxu's lament, saying that he is full of talent and has nowhere to go, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend of both loyalty and filial piety.
Zhou Hexuan didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but the other party didn't give up, and reprimanded: "Mr. Zhou, you are also a talent, how can you instigate the emperor to divorce the imperial concubine?" Do this perverse thing! ”
"Eh, don't splash me with dirty water, which eye did you see that I instigated Concubine Dao to divorce?" Zhou Hexuan flatly denied it.
Zheng Xiaoxu said angrily: "Old and not stupid! When Concubine Shu divorced, it was in your "Ta Kung Pao" that after Concubine Shu's divorce, she entered your Hope Education Foundation, how could it have nothing to do with you? ”
"Even if I instigated it, what's the matter?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.
Zheng Xiaoxu stood up angrily, pointed at Zhou Hexuan and scolded: "Shame on the incorruptible, demons too!" ”
The battle was so big that the audience in the back row all looked at them, not knowing what was going on.
Lin Binlai, the theater manager, hurriedly ran over and persuaded: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhou, both of them are distinguished guests, and they have something to say." ”
"Such Sven scum, ashamed to sit next to him, the old man said goodbye!" Zheng Xiaoxu brushed his sleeves and left.
Zhou Hexuan looked helpless, he really didn't provoke this old man.
The magic show on stage finally began, and the performers were actually from North Korea.
It was two actors, a man and a woman, the woman was fat and fat, and she was tightly tied with a rope, and she kept calling for help. The man flaunted his might, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the fat woman, and banged a few shots, blood splashed, and blood flowed for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, the staff put the fat woman's "corpse" into the wooden box, and the male performer pulled out a long knife, aimed at the "female corpse" and stabbed it, and then several shots, all kinds of blood splashed wildly.
"Ahh
Countless viewers screamed in shock, couldn't bear to witness it, and the timid even fainted directly.
It's so realistic!
The male performer suddenly lifted the lid of the wooden box, and it was empty, and at this time, the "dead" fat woman also ran out of the backstage, jumping alive without any wounds.
"Bang bang bang!"
The audience burst into warm applause.
After the magic show, it was the Peking Opera performance of Meng Xiaodong's troupe.
When Meng Xiaodong appeared in the finale, the applause at the scene shook the sky, and he almost broke through the ceiling.
Zhou Hexuan suddenly shouted: "Winter Emperor! Winter Emperor! ”
"Winter Emperor!"
"Winter Emperor!"
The audience immediately shouted along, even the elderly people, and the frenzy was simply terrifying.
After the Peking Opera performance, Zhou Hexuan got up and left, standing at the elevator entrance and waiting for Meng Xiaodong to come out.
A moment later, Meng Xiaodong appeared with his younger brother Meng Ke, and the rest of the troupe was still packing up their things backstage.
"Brother-in-law, can you take me to Brother Zheng? I'm going to learn how to play with a gun from him. Meng Ke said with his head tilted.
Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Okay, I can take you there." But whether Brother Zheng teaches you or not, it depends on what he means. ”
Meng Xiaodong patted his younger brother's head and said, "You can practice flower guns, what are you doing by practicing murder marksmanship?" ”
"I don't care, anyway, Brother Zheng's marksmanship is very good, I just want to learn from him." Meng Ke insisted.
Everyone laughed and took the elevator downstairs, and when they passed a special counter to clean up, Zhou Hexuan turned to Sun Yonghao and said, "Yonghao, aren't you going to come to the door to propose?" Buy a few decent pairs of jewelry, I don't have enough money to lend you. ”
When Sun Yonghao asked the price, he shook his head in fright: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it." ”
Zhou Hexuan chose a pair of bracelets, asked the clerk to wrap them, and said with a smile: "Count me as a gift to my younger siblings." ”
"I can't ask for it, it's too expensive." Sun Yonghao shook his head again and again.
Sun Yongzhen has returned from visiting relatives in his hometown, and he said: "Take it, it will be a wedding gift from my husband." ”
Sun Yongzhen's idea is very simple, he asked his younger brother to give gifts, just to help Zhou Hexuan sell his life, and he didn't have to worry about those things.
Sun Yonghao happily put away the bracelet, and after a few steps, he heard gunshots and shouts outside. He subconsciously protected Zhou Hexuan, and Sun Yongzhen also blocked Meng Xiaodong.
After a moment's wait, there was finally a little quieter ahead.
Zhou Hexuan and others walked over cautiously, only to see that all the containers over there were smashed, and several department store clerks were injured and fell to the ground. A group of Chinese patrolmen stood at the door and said proudly: "We wear this uniform to represent the Emperor of Japan!" Take your things, do you look up to you, and you still want me to give money? Hey, I don't know how to lift! ”
