Chapter 43: Cheng Dieyi
"Pull out the mountains and cover the world, and the times are not good. If you don't die, you can't help it, and you can't help it!"
On the open-air square in the east of the city, a large stage is built.
At night, there are 12 electric lights that ordinary people can't afford at home, and the stage is brightly lit.
On the stage, the overlord with a black and white face was wearing a majestic black robe, holding a sword, and drinking Xiang Yu's desperate poem when he killed himself.
Beside him, a beauty in a yellow cloak, after the overlord sang the desperate poem, also followed Ying He, singing: "The Han soldiers have been slighted, the Quartet Chu sings, the king is exhausted, and the concubine is talking about life..."
After singing a song, Yu Ji drew her sword and killed herself, and the overlord sighed.
The crowd around them, as if they had been collectively stimulated, all got up from their stools, clapped desperately and shouted, "Good, good..."
"Sure enough, it's the overlord Farewell Concubine!" Of the commotion in the crowd, there was only one person who was out of place.
Wang Xu sat on the bench, playing with two jade stone balls in his hands, and looked at the stage with a blank look.
From Li Ya's mouth, when he heard that these two actors were named Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou, Wang Xu had some guesses.
Looking at it now, it can't be wrong, no wonder Li Ya is fascinated, Yu Ji in this overlord Farewell My Concubine is played by Leslie Cheung.
A man, who performed a woman's softness, resentment, and confusion at the time of parting, and his acting skills were jaw-dropping.
This kind of beauty, let alone women, men will be excited when they see it, and they can't hold it secretly.
"A smile is drunk by a thousand people, a worry is sorrowful, beautiful..."
Li Ya is one of the people who are excited, whispering something, and his eyes are as bright as a small light bulb.
Hearing this, the jade stone ball in Wang Xu's hand paused imperceptibly for a moment, and the expression on his face was stiff.
He subconsciously glanced at Li Ya and found that Yu Ji on the stage had withdrawn, and he was still looking for the mission with his neck stretched.
For no reason, Wang Xu felt a chill in his heart, and secretly thought: "This Li Ya can't be a rabbit, right?" ”
"Objective, those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field, thank you!"
When the opera ended, a child holding a gong walked in to collect the performance fee.
Many fans present donated generously.
More of a big ocean, less of a penny or two, is as conscious as buying a ticket.
You must know that this kind of open-air stage cannot be compared with the big theater, and it will not charge the ticket money first, and it all depends on the reward after a game.
When the child walked beside Wang Xu, he looked into the gong, not to mention more than a dozen oceans, which was really a lot.
"Give..." Li Ya took out two pieces of ocean from his money bag, and threw them away without looking at them.
The child holding the gong smiled and bowed again and again: "Thank you boss, thank you boss." ”
"Don't go yet!" Seeing that the child was leaving, Li Ya hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "You help me ask, the Fang who played Yu Ji is inconvenient, I want to invite him to a meal." ”
"This..."The child was very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to agree.
Li Ya hurriedly went to take out the money again, put the three oceans in the gong, and pleaded: "Help me to ask, just ask." ”
The child took the money and left, and after a while, Yu Ji did not appear, and a little old man walked up.
The little old man was holding a cigarette pouch and pot, wearing a jade wrench in his hand, and as soon as he came up, he asked, "Which friend is it, who wants to invite Dieyi to dinner?" ”
"It's me." Li Ya hurriedly stood up and said with a little excitement: "You are the head of the drama troupe, my name is Li Ya, and I want to invite Mr. Cheng Dieyi to dinner." ”
"Eat, Dieyi's appearance fee is not cheap!" The little old man was the head of the troupe, and he looked at Li Ya in a long voice.
In ancient times, there were many surprising rules, and the relationship between the class owner and the actor was also very complicated.
Most of these actors were bought by the class owner since childhood, and they began to cultivate standing skills at the age of four or five, memorized lines at the age of eight or nine, opened their voices at the age of eleven or twelve, and performed on stage until they performed on stage, not to mention ten years of training.
Li Ya wanted to invite Cheng Dieyi to dinner, but without the nod of the class leader, it would definitely not work.
"Old man, here are ten oceans, if you don't have it, just ask." Li Ya saw that there was hope, and happily emptied the money bag.
The old class leader weighed the ocean, a little more smile on his face, and said to the children around him: "Go and invite Dieyi out, just say that I asked him to come." ”
This time I waited for a long time, it seemed that Cheng Dieyi was removing her makeup in the background, and she waited for more than ten minutes before seeing someone.
Small broken steps, orchid fingers, the person who came was wearing a white gown, which was seven points similar to Zhang Guorong, and his smile was a little charming.
As soon as he saw this shape, Wang Xu felt blind.
When I watched the movie, I knew that it was acting, and I didn't think there was anything.
In reality, when the living person saw it, the feeling of a sissy suddenly came as scheduled, and Wang Xu felt ashamed in his heart.
"Good guy, more charming than a woman, and it doesn't make people feel disgusting at all, this is the top women's clothing boss!" The jade ball in Wang Xu's hand couldn't turn anymore, and there were 10,000 alpacas running over in his heart.
On the contrary, Li Ya's expression is even better, eagerly with appreciation, and appreciation is mixed with longing.
Yes, it's a desire, or the kind that can't be hidden.
Wang Xu really doubted that if Cheng Dieyi went out alone at night, Li Ya would go crazy to attack at night.
"Sister, it's this boss." The child ran to Cheng Dieyi's side and pointed in the direction of Li Ya.
Hearing her sister's title, Cheng Dieyi laughed instead of being angry, pointed at the child's forehead with an orchid, and spat lightly: "Bah, what nonsense..."
It's over, when Wang Xu saw this smile, he only felt that he had been hit by an arrow in his knee, and he had an urge to kneel.
Because he was surprised to find that Cheng Dieyi, who was laughing, was even more charming than the Xu family's sister-in-law, is this still a man.
As a modern person, he has also seen the performance of women's clothing boss Li Yugang.
But it's only after putting on makeup that you will feel sorry for me.
Cheng Dieyi is good, after removing her makeup, she can still play like this, and let the woman live.
"Li Ya, I can't do it, I have to withdraw!" Wang Xu didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that he would be bent.
However, before leaving, he still opened his mouth and promised: "Dig Cheng Dieyi here, no matter how much it costs, I will pay for it, but Cheng Dieyi can't be counted as a person from your theater, only I will lend it to you temporarily." ”
"Really?" Li Ya was overjoyed, no matter whether he borrowed it temporarily or not, as long as Cheng Dieyi entered the troupe.
You must know that Li Ya only spent five gold bars to establish an opera troupe, and Cheng Dieyi's value alone is not under a troupe.
If you want to dig such a person, you don't have to think about it without ten gold bars, Li Ya just wants to paste it upside down.
As for why Wang Xu paid this money, Li Ya has nothing to do with it, he doesn't have this face.
Wang Xu paid the money, completely valuing Cheng Dieyi, if he remembered correctly, Cheng Dieyi would go to the capital in the future and become one of the four famous actors in the capital.
And in this period, the top Peking Opera bowl was easy to break into the upper class.
Wang Xu felt that Cheng Dieyi's person might be an opportunity for him, an opportunity to break the Wang family's antique store into high society.
