Chapter 254: Shocking the Audience (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At the Chang'an Grand Theater, the premiere of "Red Cliff" is still going on, and the Peking Opera actors in the first few rows are a little unable to sit still!
Many of them also watched the performance of "Red Cliff" for the first time, and were shocked by the generosity of the three major theater troupes this time!
Whether it is the equipment of the actors, or the extremely luxurious costumes, it undoubtedly makes this unfinished performance the pinnacle of Peking Opera history!
The excellence of this performance made many leaders of the troupe have a deep sense of crisis!
A big change in the Peking Opera industry is coming!
Although many troupes have created a lot of wonderful new Peking Opera before, they are basically put on the shelf after one or two performances, and never come out again!
However, this "Red Cliff" can definitely become a benchmark in the Peking Opera industry, and any troupe can try it!
Of course, the premise is that the authorization of the three major theater troupes is obtained, after all, the basic content of this play is far from the original "Red Cliff Soldiers"!
At the same time, the shock that this play brought to them and the audience is not over!
The curtain opened again, and dozens of martial arts actors wearing blue and white backing clothes and holding a flag behind them appeared on the stage.
Suddenly, a murderous aura made everyone quiet!
It is really rare to see so many martial arts actors who rely on each other to appear on the stage of Peking Opera!
As the music sounded, dozens of martial arts actors showed a set of "domineering" movements in unison.
The so-called hegemony is a set of stylized work that shows his figure and kung fu when the generals appear!
Generally speaking, the actions of tyrants on the stage of Peking Opera are all displayed by one person!
But this time, dozens of people were displayed at the same time, and the movements were so coordinated, it was as neat as a military parade, which was the first time in the history of the entire Peking Opera industry!
This scene made the Peking Opera actors sitting below feel a tingling feeling on their scalps!
There is no sense of disobedience in a row of more than a dozen actions, which makes them feel very remarkable!
In the end, dozens of martial arts actors crossed over, walking around the circle like a fly, and the audience was dazzled, and in the end, the martial arts actors stood in two rows!
The sound of gongs and drums urged, the sound of the huqin sounded, and Li Zhengsu's heroic voice sounded!
"The reed flowers are shaking, and the cold and snow waves are in the sky——"
Li Zhengsu was covered with a fur cloak, and under the illumination of the lights, he looked a lot more heroic!
Everyone in the audience was also dazzled!
In a group of male masculine martial arts actors, a weak Jiangnan woman suddenly appeared, which suddenly gave the whole stage a feeling of combining rigidity and softness, as if the stage had become brighter!
"Yellow leaves fly sparse forests, cold red cliffs, frost residues-"
"Drill day and night for the soldiers to resist the enemy—"
"How can I take care of the river wind and the cold bones-"
"Xiao Qiao, I made an appointment with the involutions of the various prefectures-"
"Embroidered robes and sewing clothes, sleepless nights-"
"Thousands of emotions are paid with needles and needles—"
"May the three armies be warm-minded—"
"The knife is like electricity, cutting fiercely and stubbornly, and the Yangtze River is fixed-"
This section of singing lyrics obviously has a certain model drama style, because this paragraph of singing lyrics was written by an old screenwriter who created "Red Lantern" back then!
This old playwright was the editor-in-chief of the National Peking Opera Company back then, and many classic new Peking Opera were written by his old man.
Although he is now in his nineties, he heard that the National Peking Opera Company was going to create and rehearse this new historical drama, so he came to the scene and created this song of Xiao Qiao!
Used here, it can very well reflect the confidence and desire of the whole Dongwu at that time to fight against the Cao army!
However, this drama obviously has the feeling of that era!
"Lady-"
With a shout, Li Hongtu walked out dressed as a general!
"The important place of military exercises, why is it so!"
"The concubine and the girls of the family sent cold clothes to resist the wind and cold with the soldiers!"
"Where is the treasure scroll of all the lords?"
"Governor, the female roll is also here—"
With a coquettish shout, a sword horse man rushed out of the door, wearing a bright red backing suit, and the whole person looked as blazing as a fire!
She was followed by a group of female rolls, each holding a robe in their hands!
Seeing this sword horse, Zhou Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said,
"It's a princess!"
This Dao Ma Dan is the princess of Dongwu, Sun Shangxiang!
Sun Shangxiang arched his hand slightly and said,
"The rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, Shang Xiangyan can not come, quickly put on the battle robe with the soldiers!"
The female rolls stepped forward one after another and draped their robes on the bodies of each martial arts actor.
The warm music makes the whole stage seem to have a little temperature!
In this performance, the ubiquitous background music like a musical adds a lot to this performance!
Because on the Peking Opera stage on weekdays, except for the actors singing and singing, there is basically no music, and sometimes, it seems very monotonous on the stage!
This performance integrates many characteristics of other stage arts, especially the appropriate background music, which makes the performance on the stage more full!
Yu Zhikui and Lin Mu also walked up!
Seeing such a harmonious scene, Lin Mu said excitedly,
"Okay, good, I'm up and down in Dongwu, the crowd is excited, why worry about Cao Bing not breaking!"
Zhou Yu shouted loudly,
"All the generals, people don't take off their armor, horses don't leave the saddle, wait for the day, listen to the governor's order, and immediately send troops to break Cao!"
At this moment, a strong wind blew, and everyone stretched out their hands to block in front of them, and they kept retreating!
"Governor, the northwest wind is blowing! ——”
A shout shocked Zhou Yu's complexion!
"Northwest wind? Big up? ——”
Because Cao's army came from the north, its location happened to be in the northwest of the Eastern Wu army.
And if you want to attack with fire, you must use the wind, then it must be a southeast wind, and now it is the head wind!
Suddenly, there was chaos in the camp.
Could it be that this is Cao Cao's luck, and even the direction of the wind will fall to him?
And at this time, only Zhuge Liang, played by Yu Zhikui, shook the feather fan and walked forward unhurriedly, as if standing by the river and watching the wind direction!
A blue gossip coat with a golden gossip seal printed on it will undoubtedly show Zhikui's slender figure!
Yu Zhikui looked at the wind direction on the river, his eyes kept rolling left and right, and suddenly showed a confident smile!
On the other side, Lin Mu, who had a dull face, looked at the restless Li Hongtu and asked,
"Governor, why are you worried?"
Without waiting for Li Hongtu to speak, Yu Zhikui turned around and said confidently,
"The governor is worried, but the mountain people know a little!"
Lu Su, as Zhuge Liang's number one brain-dead fan and 10,000-year-old spare tire, naturally hurriedly asked,
"Oh, sir, come quickly!"
Yu Zhikuidun made an unfathomable look, the feather fan in his hand shook gently, stroked his beard, and said,
"If you want to break the Cao soldiers, it is advisable to attack with fire, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed! ——”
Li Hongtu couldn't help but applaud excitedly and started singing.
"Sir—"
"Just in time, I saw the flags flying in the wind-"
"Meng touched my heart and I was thinking a lot-"
"The fire attack must be smooth-"
"If you don't have the wind, how can you get that fire in the sky-"
After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Lu Su, played by Lin Mu, suddenly realized and sang along,
"How can it be the middle of winter—"
"But I saw a cold wind from the northwest—"
"If it weren't for the fact that the heavens turned to the east wind and blew—"
"This trick turned into nothing—"
Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh!
It's winter now, this season, how can there be an east wind blowing, the so-called fire attack can only be a dream of yellow sorghum!
After all, Cao Cao is a military god-level existence, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu can think of fire attack, how could he not think of it!
It's just that he already knew that it was winter at this time, and there would only be a northwest wind on the river, so he would make this kind of seemingly "death" behavior.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven.
And Yu Zhikui walked over with a relaxed face, bowed his hand slightly, and sang,
"Zhou Gongjin and Lu Zi are respectful and relieved—"
"Mountain people, I'm free, that-heaven and earth-"
"You just have to arrange for the sulfur firewood and reeds—"
"In three days, you have-the mighty east wind-"
Get out of the way, buddy, I'm going to start filling the glass!
Yu Zhikui continued to sing, "I wish me success—"
Li Hongtu stepped forward and asked with a look of disbelief,
"Is that true?"
"It's true, Dudu, how about I borrow the southeast wind from you for three days and three nights?"
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said,
"Why do you need three days and three nights, but you have to have a southeast wind for one night, and it's done!"
"Okay, please ask the governor to order someone to build a thousand wooden pigeons, hang them on the mast of the ship to the north, and wait for the southeast wind to blow together, and the doves whistle in unison, and the governor will immediately send troops——"
Now, Zhou Yu can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, shaking his spirits and shouting loudly,
"Wow-"
"Command the three armies, and each ship will hang a wooden pigeon to measure the direction of the wind."
"But as soon as the whistle sounds, the flag turns, and the southeast wind rises, you can send troops to break Cao-"
After the order was completed, Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with solemnity in his eyes.
Whether the fire attack can be successful, and whether Dongwu can turn the crisis into safety, now all have to be pinned on Zhuge Liang's body.
Zhou Yu bowed his hand,
"Sir, please—"
"Governor, please—"
Zhou Yu took a step back and shouted,
"Sir, please—"
A majestic background music sounded, rendering the entire stage extremely tragic.
Yu Zhikui was no longer hypocritical, took two steps forward, his left hand behind him, his right hand gently shook the feather fan, and stood in the middle of the stage with his back to the audience!
The curtain fell slowly, blocking everyone in the curtain, but Yu Zhikui was the only one who was exposed!
"Gong Jin, Gong Jin, Zijing, Zijing, where do you two know, the cycle of heaven, the cathode and yang, the south of the Yangtze River, the north of Dongting, before and after the winter solstice, the spring germination, there are different celestial phenomena, as long as you are familiar with astronomy, and geography, you can observe the subtle knowledge, and calculate accurately, this east wind is 'borrowed' to get it——"
"Hahaha-"
In a burst of triumphant laughter, Yu Zhikui left the stage quickly!
In this twisted scene, the martial arts award at the beginning can be regarded as wonderful, although there are no other big scenes, but this scene alone is already worth the ticket price!
And the next twist is the highlight of today.
"Burning Red Cliffs"!
The curtain opens again.
Cao Cao's huge ship appeared in the center of the stage.
On the ship, Cao Cao led the generals to stand there, waving flags behind him, I don't know how many people and horses are waiting.
"Look at the riverbank lined up with ten thousand masts—a thousand sails—"
Meng Guanglu's voice is really amazing, high and bright, and the audience below will naturally not hesitate to applaud and applaud!
"Lines of iron chains—"
"Let him be in danger of the turbulent wind and water—"
For a while, the stage was filled with smoke, and Cao Cao in a red robe could only be seen so conspicuous.
"The athletes are stepping on the waves like walking on the flat river——"
"You said that I don't practice water warfare when I come north-"
"I didn't know that I had already arranged the magic machine-"
"You said that I lost 100,000 wolf teeth-"
"I'm more than ten thousand ships to cover the sky—"
This singing undoubtedly reveals the swelling and self-confidence in Cao Cao's heart!
Because the soldiers in the north were not good at water warfare, Cao Cao connected the ships with iron cables, so that the ships were connected together, and the soldiers stepped on the boats as if they were stepping on flat ground!
Although I was deceived by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu a few days ago, 100,000 wolf tooth arrows were deceived by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, but for me, this is just a drop in the bucket, you look at my tens of thousands of warships covering the sky and the sun!
Huqin accelerated, and the plate style of Xipi flowing water made Cao Cao's pride even more overflowing!
"War horses, neighing, drums, horns, flags, and displays—"
"Swords, spears, swords, halberds, and soldiers compete for the lead-"
"Raise the whip to hold the south of the Yangtze River and cross the moat——"
"Dangdong Wu captures Sun Liu—right in front of you—"
A large number of hearty singing passages made the audience applaud.
The civil and military officials on the side stepped forward and said,
"The prime minister has set this iron chain plan, and the ministers all obey it!"
"The soldiers were spared the pain of the wind and turbulence, but they listened to the prime minister's order and went to Jiangnan——"
The sound of patting the sycophants is endless, and Cao Cao is also relieved to hear it, and laughed a few times!
"Although this iron chain is ingenious, there is a sick door, and the generals can know where it is?"
Cao Cao likes to do this kind of thing, exposing his shortcomings, and then being slapped in the face!
Just like in the Huarong Dao after that, every time Cao Cao laughed, he would encounter an ambush soldier, killing him, and finally those remnants of the soldiers saw Cao Cao laughing, and they all wanted to go up directly to cover his mouth!
Don't laugh at the prime minister, if you laugh again, we'll really be gone!
Seeing that the elder wants to fill the cup, the people below can't say it even if they know, some words, the leader asks you, in fact, the leader wants to show his IQ, if you don't know how to say it, then your future career will be the end!
Just like Yang Xiu's stunned son, as soon as Cao Cao pouted his buttocks, Yang Xiu knew what Cao Cao was going to do, and in the end, wasn't he killed by Cao Cao!
The generals looked at each other and shook their heads.
"This ——, minister is so stupid, please show the prime minister!"
Cao Cao's face was proud, it seems that the smartest person in the world is still me!
"The ships are chained, although they are stable, but if the enemy attacks with fire, they can't be broken down, and they are all burned, how can it be good?"
Everyone was also very cooperative and looked at each other, like a group of big fools, spread their hands and asked,
"yes, how's that okay?"
Cao Cao looked at this group of big fools and couldn't help laughing!
"Thinking about this critical joint, I can't notice it."
Meng Guanglu held his beard with both hands, revealing a cunning appearance, and everyone below was chilled!
Sure enough, it is worthy of "living Cao Cao", this expression has performed the psychological state of the traitorous minister.
"Wait to see the flag dancing and the flag foot drifting south——"
"Will there be an east wind in the middle of winter—"
"If it weren't for the astronomical understanding and the pros and cons—"
"A certain Yan can come up with a strange iron chain—"
What are you doing, Elder Cao, are you setting up a flag?
Sure enough, after Meng Guanglu finished singing this paragraph, the drums beat loudly, and everyone looked at the banner behind them with a frightened face.
I saw that the flag, which had been fluttering to the southeast, turned and drifted to the northwest.
This kind of scene of slapping the face in seconds made the audience cast sympathetic glances at Meng Guanglu!
I've seen a slap in the face, but I've never seen a slap in the face so fast!
Meng Guanglu, who was still proud just now, changed his face drastically at this time, and let out a miserable scream.
"Oh no, the wind has turned!"
The surrounding generals didn't know if they were used to pretending to be stupid at this time, so they all asked with a panicked face,
"The wind has changed, how is it good!"
Meng Guanglu was furious and held his hair with his hand.
"This, this, this, this—"
"Cut the iron ropes! ——”
However, it was too late, and I saw countless rockets flying towards Cao Jun's ship like locusts!
"Prime Minister, let's go!"
The generals pulled Cao Cao and fled quickly.
I saw that on the ship, the flames were raging, and the red light was soaring into the sky on the entire stage.
Many people tumbled down from the ship, and the audience watching was also shocked.
The most shocking scene came.
I saw that in the fire, this huge building ship began to break from the highest point.
Slowly, the building ship began to capsize and disintegrate, thick white smoke rose up, and in less than ten seconds, this huge building ship with withered beams and paintings, in front of everyone, turned into a pile of waste wood.
It's really a bloody investment!
Looking at the building boat that was broken into pieces, the audience was distressed.
Shock!
It's amazing!
It's like watching the shipwreck of "Titanic" for the first time that year!
For the sake of truth, the director of the year, Carmelo Anthony, built a big ship like the original Titanic, and then sank the ship with his own hands!
The reason why "Titanic" was successful is because it is real enough!
And today, on the stage, in front of everyone, this valuable building ship has also turned into a pile of ruins under the eyes of everyone!
This kind of shock in the face made everyone dumbfounded!
What a big deal!
That's a lot of money!
In order to render the tragedy of "The Battle of Red Cliffs", just such a shot is enough!
