Chapter 20: The True Master of Monkey Training
Naturally, the head of the Yang class knows the double reed.
And after Li Shangen mentioned this, he immediately reacted and understood Li Shangen's thoughts.
After that, it's even simpler, Yang needs Ding Zheng to attract popularity, and Ding Zheng needs more money.
The two sides coincided and directly negotiated cooperation!
What's more, according to the plot of the movie, Liang Kuan, one of Huang Feihong's apprentices, happened to work in this dock theater troupe after he came to the provincial capital!
Liang Kuan himself has good skills, if Ding Zheng can subdue him, it will undoubtedly be a big help!
Moreover, the head of the Yang squad also gave Li Shangen a very high salary.
For the time being, it is only a small part higher than Li Shangen and Ding Zheng's daily monkey play outside, but when the play is rehearsed and popular, they will also get a large share of the theater tickets!
There is also food and accommodation in the theater, and you can save a lot of money.
The next day, Li Shangen took Ding Zheng to perform outside as usual.
Although the cooperation has been negotiated, there are still many preliminary preparations.
For example, who will dub Ding Zheng, this kind of thankless thing that only fulfills others, few people are willing to do it.
Yang even decided that if he really couldn't find anyone, he would go on his own.
Although he is a little old, his kung fu is still not lagging behind!
And Li Shangen also kept advertising that they were about to go to the dock opera troupe to perform the real Monkey King in between the usual street performances, as well as at the beginning and the end.
Whether or not you can earn the money that Ding Zheng needs to practice martial arts depends on this wave, and it is natural to pay attention to it.
After listening to Li Shangen's propaganda, people also looked forward to it.
I've seen monkeys, but I've never seen monkeys on the stage!
This is a novelty!
A few days later.
Li Shangen and Ding Zheng left their original house and went to the dock.
originally planned to call Yan Zhendong, but Yan Zhendong refused, afraid that he would be a little embarrassed in the troupe for teaching a monkey to practice martial arts.
But in fact, Yan Zhendong had other plans.
Teaching Ding Zheng to practice martial arts and earn so much money, Yan Zhendong felt that he might have found a way to make a fortune.
That's the Kaiwu Gym!
He had to try it himself, and maybe he would become a generation of grandmasters.
Ding Zheng had no choice but to prepare to run back and forth in the future.
In fact, Ding Zheng has learned all of Yan Zhendong's three kung fu.
It's just that Yan Zhendong is more experienced in the cultivation of iron cloth shirts, so Ding Zheng still needs the other party to provide stimulation and help.
As for Yan Zhendong's desire to open a martial arts gym.
Ding Zheng didn't have any ideas, and even expressed support.
Although Yan Zhendong is a villain in the movie.
But these days get along.
Ding Zheng found that he was not so bad that he was heinous, and he was quite principled in doing things.
Ding Zheng felt that if Yan Zhendong was less tortured by insults and poverty, he should be able to retain goodness and morality and be a good person.
……
Pier Theatre Troupe.
As the name suggests, it is naturally located at the pier.
A large shed made of wood and thick bamboo in a shallow bay where the weather is calm all year round.
Listening to the drama on the sea in the summer, blowing the sea breeze, I have to say that it has a special charm.
The wharf troupe is huge, and in addition to the high stage, there is also a large auditorium.
There are even a few VIP seats, plus the owner of the Yang class has a wide connection, and can often invite famous actors to sing, and some people with status and status also like to listen to it when they are idle.
Li Shangen brought Ding Zheng to the troupe, and Yang took all the staff of the entire troupe to greet him on the dock early, showing great respect.
There were also a large number of people watching the excitement.
When Ding Zheng appeared, everyone shouted and welcomed.
Some people in the troupe who watched Ding Zheng's performance began to heckle immediately.
"Monkey, laugh one!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Ding Zheng ignored it.
But Li Shangen, who was walking next to him, suddenly shouted: "Laugh! ”
Ding Zheng paused, turned around very reluctantly, and gritted his teeth.
Li Shangen looked calm next to him, but his heart was happy.
Since he met Ding Zheng, he really hasn't commanded this strange monkey so casually!
Now he has finally turned over and the serf sings.
"Monkey, turn your head!"
Another voice rang out.
Ding Zheng immediately cast a warning look at Li Shangen.
Li Shangen raised his eyebrows proudly, held back a smile, raised his hand up, and said, "Turn!" ”
Ding Zheng squeezed his fists angrily, but he still endured it, and turned his head very cooperatively, attracting bursts of cheers.
"There's no one anymore, there's you good-looking!" Ding Zheng looked at Li Shangen's smug appearance, and kept repeating in his heart that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
The reason for this scene.
is because before coming to the troupe, Ding Zheng discussed with Li Shangen.
No matter what Ding Zheng did at any time, as long as Li Shangen saw it, he had to shout two words to Ding Zheng anytime and anywhere that others could not understand, and make gestures and commands.
It must be difficult for others to understand, and it must be commanded.
And make a confident appearance.
Let Li Shangen look like a real monkey training master.
This can most effectively reduce the aura on Ding Zheng and attract more attention to Li Shangen!
The Pier Theatre can accommodate a larger audience, and naturally attracts the attention of more and more dangerous people.
If Ding Zheng behaves too extraordinarily and becomes a monkey that everyone wants to figure out, it is likely to bring about an unknown crisis.
But if Li Shangen does this, all the extraordinary things of Ding Zheng will be divided into Li Shangen.
When others see it, they will only sigh, Li Shangen has a hand in training monkeys, and he happened to meet an outstanding spirit monkey.
Ding Zheng can be as low-key as possible and develop obscenely.
In order to be able to make Li Shangen's identity as a monkey training master more real.
They agreed that when there were people, especially many people, Li Shangen could really command Ding Zheng to do some small things.
to achieve a more visible effect.
However, Ding Zheng also warned Li Shangen not to take the opportunity to mess around.
It's just that Li Shangen clearly promised to do well at the time, but now he looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and seizes the opportunity to play with Ding Zheng.
"Flip!" Li Shangen let Ding Zheng turn over again, with a smile on his face.
Of course, he is not afraid of Ding Zheng's retaliation.
He knows in his heart that he will not do something excessive, at most he will be disgusting and disgusting Ding Zheng.
After all, Ding Zheng has always been the leader, and now that he has been replaced by Li Shangen as the master, of course, he must seize the opportunity to practice this dead monkey well.
"Let you spend my money!"
"Makes you big!"
Every time Li Shangen commanded, he calculated the account in his heart.
Walking from the gate of the troupe to the house arranged by the Yang class owner in just such a short distance has become the most shameful experience since Ding Zheng crossed.
……
"This is the costume, this is what the monkey has to do when he is on stage, Li Monkey King will take a look first, if there is any problem, we can change it again!"
As soon as he arrived at the drama troupe, the head of the Yang class couldn't wait to come up with the "script" belonging to Ding Zheng.
With the continuous advertising, the wharf opera troupe, the great drama of the return of the great sage, has spread all around, and its popularity is very high.
Yang naturally wanted to arrange the show quickly, and then sell tickets as soon as possible.
This kind of thing, since it has been promoted, when the audience waits for a long time, it will cause rejection.
Everything has to be accelerated!
Li Shangen took the things and studied them with Ding Zheng that night.
Three days later.
"Can the gods and Buddhas indiscriminately destroy my Huaguo Mountain? Outrageous! Eat my grandson!! ”
Looking at Ding Zheng's flawless counterpart on the stage, swinging his stick and smashing the play in front of him dressed as a giant spirit god, Rao is a layman Li Shangen, who thinks he doesn't understand drama, can't help but be excited.
This scene has been scheduled for three days, and the progress is very fast.
The orangutan is already flexible, and with this Yue Ding Zheng practicing martial arts every day, his control over his body is better than before, and the movements on the stage are not difficult for it at all.
Now this progress is still Ding Zheng has slowed down a little in order to avoid shocking the world.
"It's a monkey...... This is also learning too fast, faster than people! ”
"How else to say it's a monkey?"
"It's really good, monkey-like."
"Monkey King should be like this!"
"Yes, I heard my grandfather say "Journey to the West", Monkey King is thin and short, and he doesn't look like a person at all."
The troupe members watching the play under the stage sighed one by one.
"You say, why is this monkey so spiritual, I have never heard of a monkey acting on stage throughout the ages."
"You fart, isn't Monkey King better than this monkey?"
"That's fake, how can there be any Monkey King?"
"Huh! Ignorance, I tell you, just a few days ago, I met a man who was out of the world......"
"Could it be that there are really immortals in this world?"
"If you look closely, is the monkey's hair dirty? Why is it a little dark? ”
Suddenly, a martial artist's words made Li Shangen vigilant, and he looked up and found that the hair on Ding Zheng's body was indeed black.
"It's going to be colored again." Li Shangen shook his head and sighed.
……
As Li Shangen and the troupe jointly promote the good time, the time is getting closer and closer.
This special play performed by monkeys is getting more and more popular.
Many viewers who knew about Ding Zheng and Li Shangen had already bought advance tickets for the pier theater troupe.
And those who didn't know Ding Zheng at the beginning also understood this matter under the original propaganda of the troupe.
After all, it is the largest opera troupe in Foshan, and if you really have to spend effort to publicize, it will naturally be effective.
Expectations are rising.
Six days later.
The havoc in the Heavenly Palace of the Return of the Great Sage has officially begun!
