Chapter 50: September is a daughter country
On the third day, all the major newspapers in Beijing published the repertoire of "Farewell My Concubine" performed by Mei Lanfang and Yang Xiaolou in the Forbidden City yesterday afternoon, and also attached a black and white photo, which focused on the performance process of the entire play, and praised Mei Lanfang for playing Yu Ji superbly, and Yang Xiaolou played the magnificent and domineering song when he played Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
There is even a sentence written that the person who provided this piece is called Chen Longting, and finally it is a notice that today, Mei Lanfang will stage a finale again, and this news was quickly spread throughout Beijing.
People who couldn't go to the Forbidden City to watch the theater yesterday still regret it very much, but when they saw this news, they were overjoyed, so the number of people watching the theater in the Forbidden City today was nearly twice as many as yesterday!
At this time, the Forbidden City, crowded, crowded, crowded, black pressure, in the inner city of the palace, the number of spectators has exceeded 150,000, in this case, the military police and constitutional organs of Beiyang immediately sent additional manpower, the number of security personnel, increased to 4,000 people, can be able to maintain the order of the scene.
These hundreds of thousands of people, obviously, are coming for Mei Lanfang's repertoire, about the final finale, the common people also know from the newspaper, it is the fifty-fourth episode of Journey to the West, "The French West Comes to Meet the Female Country's Heart Ape Plans to Get Off Fireworks", and the repertoire is referred to as "Love for the Daughter Country".
This drama is the fifty-third chapter of the original work, the four masters and apprentices passed by the Zimu River, and at the time of the ferry, Tang Seng and Bajie drank the river water by mistake, and then became pregnant. Unexpectedly, the owner of the nunnery, Ruyi Zhenxian, was the uncle of the red child, and then there was a big fight. After Sun Monkey defeated the Ruyi True Immortal, he obtained the spring water. Let the master and the second junior brother get through the difficulties.
In fact, about "Journey to the West", everyone in the Republic of China has long known it, and they can't be more familiar, from childhood to adulthood, whether it is from the mouth of the elders or the storyteller, you can hear the story of Journey to the West.
And the content of the next play. Although everyone knows it, they still like to watch it, not only because this play is "Journey to the West", but also because of the emotional entanglement between the daughter of the country and Tang Seng in this time.
This is what the common people like to see, after all, as long as they are people, they will have a little bit of gossip.
"Sell small benches, melon seeds, pistachios, and binoculars!"
But I saw that at this moment, the scene was full of people. There was an endless stream of all kinds of shouting, and in the front of the crowd, there were many foreigners seated, and there were also media people with cameras on the side of the stage. In this fledgling era, such a grand occasion is absolutely rare.
On the stage, after successively performing four plays of "Five Flower Cave", "Qiao Lianhuan", "Bead Curtain Village" and "Palace Gate Banknote". It's the turn of today's last finale.
"Love for the Daughter Country"
In the eyes of more than 100,000 people at the scene, there were four Tang monks and apprentices. It didn't appear immediately, but next to the stage. Dozens of performers, holding instruments of different shapes in their hands, faced the metal microphone in front of them, and began to play first.
At the same time, loudspeakers scattered around the square also sounded.
Cave cave hole
Dadada
In the sound of the waves imitated by the fine sand, several percussion instruments were played at the same time, and then the Yueqin and Jing Erhu began to play, the whole tune was melodious and slow, thinking about people's imagination, and then the sound of wooden fish and the faint sound of female voices hinted at the long journey to the west.
At this time, on the stage, a monkey with golden hair, carrying a wishful golden hoop stick and a few somersaults, turned onto the stage.
Under the stage, many adults carried their own children on their shoulders, and those naughty children who were only five or six years old, after seeing the monkey covered in golden hair, immediately raised their hands and pointed to the high platform, and shouted:
"It's Sun Monkey!!"
Rumble!!
The scene exploded all at once!
saw that the person on the stage was Chen Longting in disguise, and after he appeared on the stage, the performers on the stage changed the tune instantly!
Several men with loud voices sang loudly in front of the microphone:
'Just captured a couple of demons!'
'Hey!!'
"A few more demons have descended, why is there so many ghosts?"
Chen Longting waved the prop stick in his hand in a variety of ways, and in an instant, the stick shadow flew, and then a heel fight, flipped into the air, and waved the Ruyi golden hoop stick in his hand violently, and at the same time raised his strength, and shouted loudly:
"Eat my grandson, a stick!"
'Kill your soul, and throw it away.' ’
'The gods trembled, and the demons trembled, and the wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards smitten, and there was nowhere to hide!!
Wanrong, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, was sitting under the stage, sitting next to Pu Yi, when she saw Chen Longting use the swallow reflex, she suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, and immediately looked at Sun Monkey, who was spreading joy on the stage, and subconsciously said in her heart:
"This monkey, is that him?"
But I saw that Chen Longting, who appeared first, was on the stage, and with the work in his hands, he instantly performed Sun Monkey to the fullest, only making tens of thousands of people under the high stage applaud loudly!
When the opening music ended, Tang Seng played by the September monk, holding a Zen staff in his hand, wearing a brocade robe and riding a white dragon horse, appeared!
As soon as Tang Seng appeared, someone shouted loudly in an instant.
"So handsome, really worthy of Tang Seng!"
"Look! The two behind Tang Seng are Zhu Bajie! and Monk Sha!"
Appearing with Tang Seng was the simple and cute Zhu Bajie, the sand monk with a wooden expression, and after all four masters and apprentices were on the field, Chen Longting, who was exploring the way first, immediately spoke:
"Master, not far ahead, it is the daughter country. ”
The September monk, who was sitting on a white horse, raised his Zen staff and waved his hand, and said with a word like gold:
"Walk you!"
In an instant, the audience burst into laughter, but their eyes were glued to the stage, unwilling to miss any scene.
But at this time, around the stage. But from time to time, a few shouting voices sounded.
"Sell small benches, melon seeds, pistachios, and binoculars!"
The people who heard the voice immediately frowned and scolded in unison:
"Shut up!!"
At this time. The four Tang monks and apprentices on the stage have come to the Imperial City of the Daughter Country. In order to avoid being ridiculed, Zhu Bajie put on a mask. Seeing that the street was full of women, and when they saw that the four of them had gathered around to see the strangeness, Zhu Bajie hurriedly revealed his original face, and the women were frightened and ran away in shock.
When everyone in the audience saw this, they laughed again.
Then, when the four Tang monks and apprentices finally walked into the post house. A female official appeared, after seeing Tang Seng's handsome appearance. His eyes lit up, but he was startled by Tang Seng's three ugly apprentices, and then asked:
"Who are you?"
"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east of the country, went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, passing through the treasure land, it was late, please stay here for one night. ”
The female officer nodded, and then asked where they came from. arranged for Tang monks and apprentices to stay.
Then, the scene changed, and the female official walked into a golden hall. Report to Her Majesty the Queen, who is on the throne.
But I saw that the queen was wearing a red cloak. Dressed in a neon dress, his bearing is extraordinary. The style is peerless, this person is Mei Lanfang. Her appearance only caused the scene to scream.
The plot on the stage continued to be played out, to the effect that the queen had always known that there were no men in her country, but after hearing the female official say that Tang Seng was good-looking, she had a mind in her heart and decided to let Tang Seng be the king and queen herself, and send three ugly apprentices to learn the scriptures.
Then, the queen asked the princess to be a matchmaker, and went to the post house to ask Tang Seng for marriage, and the September monk refused the other party according to the plot of the original book, while Chen Longting reached out and scratched his ears, rolled his eyes, and then said: "Master, since the queen is sincere, you can stay!"
While speaking, he glanced at the master, and the master saw Tang Seng bowing his head and not speaking, thinking that he had agreed, so he immediately took his leave and returned to the palace to report to the queen.
And Zhu Bajie, seeing that the master didn't speak, suddenly spoke:
"Master, if you don't want to, the apprentice can do it. ”
Chen Longting's figure immediately flashed, pulled Zhu Bajie's big ears, opened his mouth and scolded:
"You idiot! don't pee like you!"
Everyone in the audience, seeing this scene, burst into laughter again
So far, everything is acting according to the original book, when Tang Seng was complaining that Wukong should not talk nonsense, Chen Longting said with a smile that if he didn't agree to this family business, the queen would definitely refuse to change Guan Wen, so he had to use fake relatives to get off the net.
Then, after explaining in detail, the September monk suddenly realized when he heard it, and the sand monk couldn't help but praise:
"Senior brother, what a plan!"
But Zhu Bajie was in a bad mood, Chen Longting saw this, so he pulled Bajie to the side, and then said:
"Idiot! That queen is a goblin, beware of cutting your pig's ear. ”
"Brother Monkey, although the old pig has never read, don't lie to me! How can the lord of the dignified daughter country be a goblin?"
"The dark old grandson has fiery eyes, how can it be fake?"
At this moment, the audience was very fascinated by the audience, but the dialogue between Sun Monkey and Zhu Bajie made everyone stunned, this seems to be a little different from the original work, right?
Just when the opera became exciting, everyone at the scene stared at the stage very quietly, but several shouting voices rang out.
"Sell small benches, melon seeds, pistachios, and binoculars!"
"Get out of !!"
Not long after, the queen came to the post station in a dragon carriage, and after seeing Tang Seng's handsome appearance, she nodded with great satisfaction, and Zhu Bajie saw the queen, and instantly drooled, and then turned his head to look at Chen Longting, and whispered:
"Brother Monkey, you lied to me! What kind of female goblin is this?"
Chen Longting scratched his hand, smiled very disdainfully, and then said:
"You'll find out later. ”
As he spoke, Chen Longting looked at the eyes of the September monk, and instantly became bright, and laughed in his heart:
"September, September, see if I don't kill you!"
After that, Chen Longting and Zhu Bajie, the actors of Sha Monk, followed the dragon car of the queen and Tang Seng, all the way into the palace, and then in the process of going to the banquet, Zhu Bajie ate a meal of the sea. According to the words of the senior brother, let the queen read Guan Wen and stamped the big seal. After deceiving the customs clearance.
In September, the monk made it easy for the queen to enter the palace. Chen Longting, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha also walked to the corner of the stage and stood there watching from afar.
But I saw that the queen, with eyes like water, looked at Tang Seng who was sitting in danger, couldn't help laughing, and shouted:
"Brother Yu. ”
Hearing the voice, Tang Seng turned his head. Seeing that the queen was reaching out to untie her cloak, she immediately folded her hands and said:
"Sin, sin, sin. ”
Subsequently, the September monk, who played the role of Tang Seng, opened his mouth to read the scriptures, and said in his heart:
"Next, Sun Xingzhi should come to the rescue. ”
After speaking, the September monk waited for Chen Longting to come on the stage to pick him up, but Chen Longting was standing on the side of the stage. But he laughed cheaply.
At the scene, more than 100,000 people, young and old, stretched their necks. Or clutch the monocular in your hand, look at the stage, and see. After Tang Seng opened his mouth to chant the scriptures, the performers under the stage. Pull up the accompaniment.
Mei Lanfang raised her lips lightly and sang:
"Mandarin ducks are amphibious. Butterflies fly together, and the spring color in the garden is intoxicating. ”
While singing, Mei Lanfang walked on the lotus step, slowly walked to Tang Seng's side, and then sang:
"Quietly ask the holy monk, is my daughter beautiful?"
The beautiful and beautiful voice came into everyone's ears, only making people's hearts flutter, and one of the sentences, "Quietly ask the holy monk, is your daughter beautiful?" made everyone at the scene stunned, and the September monk was shocked! In his mind, a demon appeared in his heart in an instant, and his face immediately changed greatly.
But at this time, I saw Mei Lanfang, who vividly interpreted the woman's coquettishness, and continued to sing:
"What kind of royal power and wealth, what precepts and rules are you afraid of?"
"I only wish that the world will last forever, and I will follow the person I like. ”
"Love love love love. ”
"May this life be with us"
At this moment, the September monk, his eyes are closed, his mouth is constantly reciting Sanskrit, and there is a faint golden light coming out of his body!
"The Buddha's mind is unstable!!"
A song made the September monk Buddha's heart unstable, what a breathtaking scene, and the audience was stunned by this deviant song, but the subsequent scene broke out with a huge response.
Cao Kun, who was sitting in the audience, raised his hand to touch his bald head, and roared loudly:
"Mahler's bastard! With such a peerless beauty in company, you still have a fart of the West?"
In an instant, countless people coaxed:
"It's vulgar!
"It's vulgar!
Countless men, shouting loudly, the scene is extremely hot, these people know the ending later, after all, everyone has long been familiar with "Journey to the West", but they didn't expect Mei Lanfang to interpret the lord of her daughter's country so movingly, there is such a peerless beauty in front of you, and she still goes to take the Western Classic?
The people who knew the ending didn't want to see the final ending, so they shouted loudly.
Of course, not everyone supports Tang Seng in this way, and there are still many people of the older generation in the audience who strongly oppose it! Among them, the Exquisite Party headed by the 'emperor' Chen Baochen and Zhu Yifan is blowing their beards and glaring, looking around, and shouting and scolding:
"It's still vulgar? It's impossible! This play can't be played like this! Such a deviant and tampering with the classics is insulting the ancestors!"
"Why can't you pay it back? If you are Tang Seng, do you dare to say that you are not interested in the queen?"
All of a sudden, everyone in the audience was divided into two factions, and in an instant, a fierce war of words broke out, and the scene got out of control several times, and even the personnel on both sides almost had to fight.
And Chen Longting on the stage, seeing this scene, as the author of the entire play, laughed in his heart:
"Hahaha! That's what the master wants!"
Although the scene was chaotic, the repertoire on the stage did not stop, and when Mei Lanfang finished singing the song, she raised her eyes to look at the September monk who was constantly doing psychological struggles, and then another sentence.
"Brother Yu. ”
The scene was silent for an instant, even the needle fell to the ground, it seemed to be heard, and everyone's eyes were looking at the September monk, waiting for his reply.
However, although the scene was quiet, there were still people shouting:
"Sell small benches, melon seeds, pistachios, and binoculars!"
"You're here again, I'm going to kill you!"
"Bear with you for a long time!"
In an instant, hundreds of people rolled up their sleeves and faced the person who was selling, and the security team, not to mention blocking it, even they had a lot of people involved.
On the stage, the September monk opened his eyes with a wry smile and glanced at Chen Longting viciously, and then saw Mei Lanfang looking at him directly, he was about to say something, but Mei Lanfang asked again:
"Brother Yu, can you stay with me?"
Hearing this, September spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with gold on the spot, and then, seeing everyone at the scene looking at him in shock, September finally groaned for a long time before he spoke:
"That's it, this Buddha, the poor monk doesn't."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Longting held the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, and a few heels turned up, raised his hand to the queen, and then shouted:
"Master, this is a female goblin!"
At this time, Zhu Bajie also rushed to the stage in a staggering manner, and then, looking at Chen Longting, he slapped his thigh and said loudly:
"Brother Monkey, you're right!!"
After speaking, I saw Chen Longting's figure flashing, carrying the September monk on his back, turning around and running, and then the four Tang monks and apprentices fled from the daughter country in disgrace.
This is how the whole plot ended
But the ordinary people at the scene did not follow it! After making trouble for a long time, they still walked according to the original book! Moreover, they had just watched it coolly, and there was no more? On the spot, more than 100,000 people shouted loudly:
"It's not enough fun!
"Do it again!"
"I want to see three dozen bone spirits!"
"I want to see Sun Monkey and make trouble in the Heavenly Palace!"
Obviously, the people in the Forbidden City didn't look good, in fact, not only them, but even those warlords and bigwigs, and even some foreigners, speaking half-baked Chinese, shouted loudly:
"Eye-Hunting Fish Club!"
Seeing this, Pu Yi turned his head to look at Wanrong and asked if he wanted to watch it again, and after getting a reply, he called the attendants around him and wrote down a note, asking the troupe to perform Journey to the West again, and at the back of the stage, Chen Longting, who had just left the stage, heard the shouts outside, like a sea of mountains, and couldn't help but look at the September monk with a pale face, and then smiled bitterly.
He was smiling bitterly, but before he could react, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of reporters, followed by many cameras.
Click! Click!
In an instant, the alum burned to form a thick puff of smoke, and the white flash directly pierced Chen Longting's eyes.
Nima! It's a big game!!
(To be continued.) )
