Chapter 16: Turning Decay into Magic (I)
He Lan was stunned.
I'm just taking advantage of the situation to help, who knows that there is such an insider.
No wonder the beard often shouts about apprenticeship.
I'm about to jump off the building in a hurry.
It turned out that it was not only for the pure pursuit of ideals, but also faced with the problem of jobs.
"I didn't do anything." He Lan shook his head, "That poem is just used in passing." β
It's just that Hu Chang can listen to it at the moment.
"We have already discussed, in the future, in this scene, our Jiangbei poetry circle will give half of Mr. He's share, as a pen fee."
Being able to protect the last fig leaf of the Jiangbei poetry circle at a critical moment is already an unexpected joy.
What's more, He Lan promised to participate in the event in the future.
If you can come and go, let him join the Jiangbei Provincial Poetry Circle, and revive the Jiangbei Poetry Circle, it will really be just around the corner.
"Teacher He, don't refuse."
He Lan was shocked.
Is this money for writing articles so easy to make?
Although this is true in the memory of his host, he is a high school student, so where has he really experienced the benefits?
"He Lan Xiaoyou, you should respond." The old man next to him held back a smile, "If you don't agree, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do what Teacher Hu promised later." β
Beard often smiled a little.
Hey, hey, hey.
Several people looked at He Lan with smiles on their faces, which made him feel a little furious.
What the hell is going on?
Sneaky.
"That's okay, I'll thank Brother Hu a lot."
Hu Zichang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and he couldn't close his mouth happily for a while, completely losing Sven's temperament.
Being able to accept the profit sharing shows that He Lan is initially willing to stand in the same boat as the Jiangbei poetry circle.
It's better to come early than to be lucky.
I hugged my thighs by mistake, and I will last be able to stand up and be a man in the future!
He Lan was also secretly happy.
If I don't have any money, I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford to go to the class dinner!
This thing was agreed, and it was almost time for the opening.
Everyone immediately sat down and waited quietly for the opening.
Old Man Chi quietly leaned over.
"Today is my granddaughter's official performance, although she has no plans to develop in this direction, but being scolded by a group of drama critics is not a good thing."
"He Lan Xiaoyou, I thank you for her, oh, this is for you-"
He Lan stretched out his hand to take it, and found that Old Man Chi actually grabbed a handful of words and gave it to himself.
Everyone else has to stuff shares and money to envelop themselves.
The old man gave himself half a bag of plums, and then he didn't care about it.
You really don't think of yourself as an outsider.
He Lan couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he felt a little warm in his heart for some reason.
Money matters.
There are some things that are more important than money.
Perhaps, the old man is a person who can be trusted.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The audience gradually took their seats, and the lights were all extinguished.
There was a sudden silence all around.
The curtain opened, and a scholar-like man appeared with an oil-paper umbrella and began to tell the story half-chanting and half-singing.
The beard next to him often seemed to be extremely nervous, and from time to time he looked at He Lan to lean on his side, quietly supplementing the content of the play.
He Lan quickly understood the general plot of this play.
It is about the past of the "Witch Blood Emperor".
In order to obtain the blood of the calamity beast and become the supreme witch clan who can call the wind and rain, the obsessed emperor began to collect clues about the bloodline of the witch clan across the country.
The protagonist is a down-and-out scholar who meets a beautiful girl by the lake on the way to Beijing to catch the exam.
The two were separated by a bamboo curtain, but they talked very happily and made a private decision for life.
It's just that for some reason, the girl never refuses to show her true face.
It wasn't until they parted that they finally let the scholar look at his eyes.
The scholar agreed with her that when he won the top prize, he would return here three years later and marry the girl.
Outcome......
Didn't pass the test.
Still didn't pass the test!
The scholar did not make the list for three consecutive years, and his mother died again, and he was close to poverty and lived on the streets.
He was discouraged, but he unexpectedly saw the list of the remnants of the Wu clan wanted by the imperial court.
To his astonishment, he recognized those eyesβ
It's actually the girl I've been dreaming about!
After hesitating for a long time and suffering from the cold and cold of the scraps for many years, he finally betrayed the girl with his teeth in order to survive, and led the officers and soldiers to arrest him.
The girl was shocked, and opened the curtains, calmly crying about her lover's betrayal.
Everyone was impressed by the girl's beautiful face.
The minister immediately decided that instead of killing the girl, he would sacrifice her to the emperor.
The scholar recalled the past of the two at this moment, and saw that he was going to be green, and regretted not being at the beginning for a while.
But at this point, there is no way back.
In the end, the girl would rather die than obey, and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff with hatred.
And under the scholar's grief, he eventually became crazy and disappeared.
Overall, this is a typical tragedy of "no one ends well".
Moreover, it is based on real historical events.
It retains the original taste that makes people hurt the stomach.
He Lan slowly frowned.
This drama ......
It's a bit of a pain!
It's no wonder that the critics are crazy about spraying the plot, and now it seems that the script is really not very likable.
Tragedy is a sublime beauty, and that's true.
But tragedy is really hard to write about - after all, feeding to the audience is not a tragedy.
At best, ticket revenue has become a tragedy......
However, after looking at the full audience below, He Lan was suddenly a little relieved.
Most of the audience is young people, young men to be exact.
Of course, there are also a small number of young girls.
At this moment, many people simply secretly played with their mobile phones, and they were not worried about how the scholars on the stage failed the exam and how the plot was sparse.
Because they're here to see beautiful women!
He Lan pinched a handful of sweat.
In this play, the heroine only leaked her face in the final plot!
It's all about this?
And a ticket costs 200 yuan.
With all this money and all this time, you can go play a game, or invite a girl who can see and touch it to dinner, isn't it? And the girl also came to see the girl?
Didn't understand these people very well.
But what made He Lan move slightly was the heroine's voice.
Through the curtain, only a slender figure could be vaguely seen. But the heroine's voice still has a clear and cold feeling.
It seems like...... Is it really a bit like the female voice that day?
He Lan tried to think about it, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
An hour passed quickly.
The plot reaches the end of the story.
Officers and soldiers surrounded the mountain, and scholars took the lead in seeing the old man again.
The beard next to him suddenly became excited, and quietly poked He Lan with his elbow-
"Here, Mr. He, your poem is coming out!"
He Lan was a little speechless.
It's obviously your drama, why are you more excited when my poem comes out?
At this moment, the stage has changed its layout.
The background is changed to the mountains as gorgeous as fire under the autumn sun.
The sky is clear, and the maple leaves are like fire.
Clusters of maple trees seemed to know that they had reached the end of their lives, dyeing half of the sky red with bright colors.
Li Shusheng in the play, with officers and soldiers, slowly went up along the mountain road.
But I can't bear it.
Could it be that he really wants to lead someone to arrest her?
However, he did not win the lift, had no power, and had no money.
I can't even afford to eat.
I can't turn over in this life.
He used to only read the books of sages, but he whispered in the imperial capital and survived for three years.
In the past three years, I have endured the beatings and ridicule of the shopkeepers, the white eyes and the leftovers, and finally I can't even afford a half-inch thatched hut!
How do you see her?
When they meet again, she will laugh at her incompetence, and then marry someone else early.
His heart was completely cold.
When a man is at his most depressed, how can he still be qualified to love love!
Have you forgotten about reviving your family?
With a background like yours, do you deserve to let others wait for you?
It's better to smash it all, get the money and power, and then forget everything and start all over again!
Nothing cannot be sacrificed for the sake of the future.
If there is, then you are too weak.
"This way. The enchantress is in the middle of this mountain. β
Li Shusheng gritted his teeth, his eyes full of the madness before the destruction.
