Boy, that's you!

Even Daozi, who has always been in a state of mind like water, was not calm after seeing the three words Journey to the West at this moment, he trembled to touch the wooden box, and then opened the wooden box, densely packed with traditional Chinese characters popular in the Ming Dynasty: The first spiritual root nurturing and pregnancy source flows out of the spiritual cultivation avenue......

Daozi looked at the original manuscript of "Journey to the West" that filled the entire box, and finally covered it with a bang: 820,000 words, write it word by word with a brush, how much ink does it take, how much effort does it take, and how much perseverance does it take?

Michiko pushed open the door and walked out, the sun shining on him, making him feel a little humble.

People always have to do a vigorous and great thing in life.

For Wu Chengen, perhaps the most vigorous event in his life is to recompile and sort out the "Journey to the West" series that has existed since the Tang and Song dynasties, right?

Liuqi saw Daozi come out, his expression was solemn, he was strange in his heart, and secretly said that the second uncle of this little young master had something unspeakable that was discovered by his own little young master?

Although he thought so, he didn't dare to ask, and left with Daozi. The banquet has been drunk until Wu Chengen and Wu Dashan hugged their heads and cried.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Daozi suddenly cried. Wu Chengen saw Daozi crying and hurriedly asked why?

Daozi cried vigorously but didn't say the reason, and at this time, Wu Dashan also wiped his tears. Wu Chengen was strong at this time, and he was anxious, saying that if he didn't say the reason, he would leave now, and he would not set foot in the Wu family in Taicang once in this life.

At this time, Wu Dashan cried tears and told Daozi about the humiliation in Dongdongqing one by one, Wu Chengen heard the words and got up, wanting to do something, but in the end he sat down again. He is just an old talent who is about to die, what can he do about a big force like the Taicang Ma family?

Seeing that Wu Chengen was lonely, Daozi cried even more hysterically this time, and finally fell directly into Wu Chengen's arms, whimpering and saying: "If the second uncle can be the screenwriter of his Wu Family Grand Theater, then Marven will definitely lift his own stone and shoot himself in the foot." ”

Wu Chengen has no wife and no children, and now suddenly Daozi came to his arms and drilled him like this, he suddenly felt as if Daozi was his son, and this son was being insulted and bullied back and forth by the enemy, which made him angry and unforgivable: "Dao'er, what do you say we should do?" What should the second uncle do? ”

Daozi, who was screaming hysterically in Wu Chengen's arms, heard Wu Chengen say this, and his tears stopped on the spot, and he looked at Wu Chengen and said word by word: "Second uncle, my nephew wants to buy the copyright of your "Journey to the West".

Wu Chengen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: How did Dao'er know that I had recompiled "Journey to the West" based on the writings of my ancestors? And what is copyright?

Wu Dashan saw that his son was going to talk about business, and he knew that he would be embarrassed to stay here, but the banquet was like this, and he couldn't just quit openly, so he could only pretend to be drunk and lie on the table and snore.

Daozi talked about his plan to adapt "Journey to the West" into a stage play one by one. Wu Chengen was stunned when he heard it, although he still didn't know how this nephew knew that he compiled "Journey to the West", but he vaguely felt that his second spring was coming.

Taking advantage of Wu Chengen's high spirits and hatred of the same enemy, Daozi coaxed Wu Chengen to sign two major agreements: one is to sell his book and become the chief screenwriter of the Wu Family Grand Theater, and the other is to pass on the copyright of "Journey to the West" to himself.

At dawn the next day, Wu Chengen woke up, and when the maid was waiting to wash his face, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

After all, he is an old talent who is about to die, after all, his "Journey to the West" has not yet become famous, no one has watched it, and no one has appreciated it.

One of the first issues that Daozi needs to consider when adapting "Journey to the West" as a stage play is his audience.

Daozi knew in his heart that the literati and squires of this era were all songs favored by talented people and wealthy beauties, and the simplest example was "The Legend of the West Chamber" that the scholars of Taicang Mansion never got tired of listening to.

This "The Legend of the West Chamber" is not Tang Xianzu's version of "The Legend of the West Chamber", but the version of Wei Liangfu, the ancestor of Kunqu Opera.

As for the wealthy high-rollers, they are all chasing heroic romance songs, such as "Water Margin", which is very popular among storytellers in Taicang Mansion.

"Journey to the West"? It is a novel of gods and demons, and in the Ming Dynasty, an era of advocating Taoism, it has a mass ideological basis. This is advantage one.

Advantage two, "Journey to the West" is a fairy tale to some extent, and it is a very lively fairy tale. This point is undoubtedly another major advantage of Daozi in the Ming Dynasty, which has not yet developed the fairy tale music market.

Michiko believes that as long as the children like it, he will have a way to make their parents and elders willingly pay to watch it with them. After all, there are still the most parents in the world who love their children to the bones.

Daozi thought about it and sorted out the routines here, and he instructed Liu Qi to spread the news: "Journey to the West" to be staged at the Wu Family Grand Theater is amazing, there are monkeys that can change seventy-two times, Marshal Tianpeng who has become pigs, and there are ...... In short, how can you stimulate children's curiosity?

Not only to say this, but also to find excuses to make noise, and form a good atmosphere: "We all owe a ticket to "Journey to the West"......

After listening to Daozi's command, Liuqi stared at Daozi with wide eyes, completely unbelievable, and said in his heart that this little young master of his own family is really against the sky, can he still think of such a ghost idea?

Watching Liuqi leave, Daozi took the original manuscript "Journey to the West" and flipped through it. He wants to combine reality with his second uncle Wu Chengen to study how to put this novel on the stage.

The uncle and nephew studied in the Mochizuki Pavilion in the small amusement park until dusk, and then the first script was finalized.

After the script was finalized, Daozi immediately summoned Han Jiaban and Bao Langlang to discuss the specific details of the performance.

Just when Daozi was busy rehearsing the first stage play in his life, what he didn't know was that the entire Taicang Mansion was a sensation again.

Because the gossip of the six or seven mobilized friends had an effect.

"Daddy, I want to see the monkeys"

"Monkeys? When did Taicang Mansion come to play monkeys? ”

"It's not a monkey, it's a monkey who can change seventy-two"

"Seventy-two changes?"

"Yes, dad, you don't know?"

"What do I know?"

A young master in a wealthy gentleman's family talked about "Journey to the West" he had heard about with a rich look on his face.

After a while, the rich man was also moved, and he thought: Will the monkey really change seventy-two? Was the predecessor of the pig really Marshal of the Canopy? Is Patriarch Bodhi really just a tree?

……

"Dad, we all owe a ticket to "Journey to the West"!" At the end, the little young master's eyes burned, and he raised his arms and shouted.

The rich man nodded approvingly.
