Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 102, sing a big show
Today is twenty-six, the weather is very good, the sun is shining brightly and it is very rare that there is no cold wind howling. Although the temperature is still very low, the Xishan side is very lively.

Drums and gongs were played in each auditorium. On the stage in front of the auditorium, actors sang classic dramas that have been handed down through the ages, such as the love of Liang Zhu, the poor scholar's high school champion to deal with the landlord and bully, and the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and so on.

In the auditorium, the Xishan workers watched intently. From time to time, bursts of applause erupted when they sang wonderful parts, and some even threw a copper coin or two on it as a reward.

In this era of lack of entertainment items, singing opera is definitely not to be missed. Even Liu Jin, who has always seen the dragon and see the tail, sat at the front very rarely, watching with gusto.

In fact, this opera does not cost a lot of money. It is only 2 taels of silver for a troupe to sing for a day, and this is only the best troupe in the capital.

The purchasing power of 2 taels of silver is naturally strong, but it is not an easy task for the troupe to earn these 2 taels of silver. They have to come a day in advance to set up the stage, and they have to sing from morning to night when they sing. It takes three full performances.

When singing opera, you have to work very hard, and your singing skills must be good. Those who beat gongs, drums, trumpets, and play the erhu must also go to the end. If you can’t sing well, you will not only smash your own brand name, but the money is not so easy to get. of.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, was not interested in this opera at all. In later generations, there were a lot of entertainment activities. Whether it was in the city or in the countryside, this opera was gradually declining. Few people sang and watched it. There are fewer people.

But in this era, there is no mobile phone, no Internet, and you can’t listen to music if you want to, so you come here to join in the fun when you have nothing to do.

When Liu Jin really calmed down and listened and watched carefully, Liu Jin soon discovered that this play really deserves to be the quintessence of the country, and it is indeed very good.

Of course, it is also possible that this era has the soil to cultivate drama. Because of the lack of entertainment, opera singing is more popular. By the time of Chiqing, many genres were formed, such as Huangmei Opera, Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Kunqu Opera, Cantonese Opera, and Qin Opera. Waiting for hundreds of kinds shows how prosperous drama is.

At this time, Liu Jin was engrossed in watching the play on the stage. The story told the story of a poor scholar who was disliked by his relatives in various ways, and finally succeeded in being admitted to the number one scholar, and severely slapped those who looked down on scholars in the face.

This kind of story is actually very simple and old-fashioned. For those who have read countless online articles in later generations, it is not new at all, but this actor's singing skills are very good, and his performance is better than that of later generations. I don't know how many times, the soundtrack of blowing the trumpet, playing the erhu, and beating the gongs and drums is also quite in place. The story is very vivid.

The kindness, diligence, and hard work of the scholar are very moving. The snobbery of the relatives makes people want to beat him up on stage. There are also kind people who lend a helping hand to the scholar in times of trouble. Every role is played very well. Lively, to the end.

But Liu Jin thinks that the more important thing is that this play conveys a lot of positive energy, such as the hard work of the scholar, the hard work of being admitted to the top prize, and the realization of Xianyu's turnaround. This is to tell everyone to be diligent, hardworking, and kind.

The bad people who bully the scholars are not rewarded in the end, and the good people who help the scholars are rewarded in the end. It also conveys the idea that good people will be rewarded and evil people will be rewarded.

While watching the drama, Liu Jin was also thinking about this question. The drama can be popular in China, it must have its positive side. Obviously, the positive energy conveyed is the real reason why it can be popular, and it has been widely accepted by everyone since ancient times It must be something that transmits positive energy.

"Good~"

Just as Liu Jin was meditating, beside Liu Jin, Zhao Erhu, who was also fascinated by watching, couldn't help crying out when he saw the wonderful thing. In the entire auditorium, the shouts were also one after another, and the atmosphere was very good.

"It's really good~"

At this time, the singing was almost over, Liu Jin took out an ingot of silver from his arms and threw it over.

Well, this is the ancient tipping (~~crazy hint~~), simple and rude, following Liu Jin’s tipping, some people in the front of the auditorium also tipped the stage one after another, a copper coin, Two copper plates.

Although one person didn't give many rewards, it couldn't stand up to the large number of people in the auditorium. Suddenly, it was like raining on the stage, and a lot of copper coins were spread on it in a blink of an eye.

Rewards for opera singing are also an important source of income for the opera troupe, and this is why the opera singers work very hard, because if they sing well, if they meet rich masters, the reward money will be much more than the salary for singing opera .

"Thank you~thank you~"

"Thank you Mr. Liu for your reward~"

"Thank you, fathers and folks in Xishan, for your kindness."

The play ended soon. According to the usual practice, everyone who performed on stage this time had to come on stage to express their thanks. At the same time, outside the auditorium, the sound of firecrackers began to ring continuously, and everyone in the auditorium reluctantly left.

"This play is so beautiful~ I can't wait to go on stage and beat that scholar's uncle to death. He is obviously rich, but he doesn't want to lend a penny to the scholar~"

"That's right, it's really annoying, but in the end, the bad guys have bad rewards. The scholar's uncle lost all his family property because of gambling, and he lives on the street. It's really satisfying to see."

"Hurry up and finish the meal. There are two performances in the afternoon and evening. After watching this play, I will have a holiday tomorrow. I really can't bear to stay here."

"I'm also reluctant to part with Xishan here. Mr. Liu treats us well. There is food, drink, and wages. He even invited the troupe to sing for us."

"I'll come back after the new year and continue to work for Mr. Liu."

"Me too~"

Everyone walked out of the auditorium while discussing the big drama just now, with endless aftertaste.

"This method is really good. It spends a small amount of money to accomplish big things, and makes everyone have a sense of belonging to Xishan. No wonder future generations of companies like to hold some New Year's parties and the like."

As for Liu Jin, he heard everyone's discussion. Everyone liked it, and Liu Jin was also very happy. He found an opera troupe to sing for his workers. Obviously, he also learned some management methods from later generations. Now it seems that the effect is very good.

"It will be twenty-seven tomorrow, and I'm finally going back. After all, I've been in the capital for more than two months."
