Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 284 Ideology
There would be nothing else for Li Chengqian to find Sun Xiangfu, and he handed Sun Xiangfu a thick book of scriptures. This is a play he adapted based on Sun Xiangfu's battle in Shuozhou.

"Uh, this, isn't it a bit exaggerated? Also, Turkic is now my Tang Dynasty. What you want to express in this drama needs to be changed." Sun Xiangfu frowned after watching a short section.

"That's why I asked the teacher to help me take a look! Time is very tight, and I want to stage it during the Spring Festival." Li Chengqian said as if he had expected it.

"Spring Festival? It's only a few days away. Are you sure that the people who play the whole play can adapt to the new script?"

"No problem, the people I'm looking for have solid basic skills, and it won't take a few days to memorize lines."

Young children dare to think and do, but from the context of the script, Sun Xiangfu did see some talent in this area of ​​Li Chengqian, he is not yet 12 years old!When I was 12 years old, I was definitely not as good at writing essays as he was.

"For the script, you can ask your wife to help revise it. It is best to let her arrange and direct the play. In addition, I will give you some information in advance. Next year, your father may be on a tour of the north. You must go there. Your future matters."

Sun Xiangfu wants to promote national integration for a long time, so the education of the next generation of emperors, of course, the sooner the better, if it is in Shanyang, Li Chengqian can not only learn more about art performance from Sun Xiangfu and his wife Knowledge, but also to learn, to see some of Sun Xiangfu's governance concepts, and at the same time, it is possible for him to be loved by the Hu people.

Of course, the best situation is that Li Shimin came back after his northern tour, put Li Chengqian next to Sun Xiangfu, and learned more practical knowledge from the disciples of the farm.

Li Chengqian couldn't figure out what Sun Xiangfu meant by 'crucial', and now he just wanted to perform the drama he wrote.

The carriage soon arrived at Furong Garden. Before reaching Wangjiang Tower, Sun Xiangfu saw his brightly lit castle. Even though there are many mansions in Furong Garden now, this castle-shaped building with a completely different style is the most dazzling among them. Yes, its characteristic is that the tallest spire is higher than the city wall of Chang'an City.

A series of outdoor entertainment facilities in Wangjiang Tower have also been built, but it is cold and there are not many people playing, and Sun Xiangfu has no time to take a closer look. After entering the hall with Li Chengqian, he discovered that Wangjiang Tower is today. Almost no guests at night.

This year is a disaster year. After the plague in Weinan County in Guanzhong, although there were no scenes of starvation everywhere and children eating each other, the harvest of each family was greatly discounted, especially some powerful families who followed the trend and hoarded food. The soaring and plummeting food prices are exhausting. Who would have expected that in the disaster year, there will be several rounds of food drops!
Therefore, after the peak dinner period, the hall was basically empty, unlike previous years where there were some people who were drunk and reveling all night, but it just gave the stage team some time to rehearse and go out.

As the largest shareholder of Wangjiang Tower, and came together with the prince, all the managers and staff of Wangjiang Tower will naturally come up to see the ceremony. There is a lot of movement, and it happens that Sun Xiangfu wants to call them together and give instructions on tomorrow's banquet. So he asked people to go to the guest room upstairs and called Dongzhu over. In addition, he also notified his good wife, Yu Xiu'er, to take care of things on the stage.

"Big man, is this the singing and dancing artist of Wangjiang Tower? Why are there so many people?" Dongzhu walked down the stairs, staring at a group of people who were greeting and chatting with Sun Xiangfu in the middle of the hall, and rushed to the person beside her Yuchi Baolin asked.

After more than two years of development, the performance system of Wangjiang Tower has become more and more extensive. Now, there are less than 2000 actors and staff in front of and behind the stage, and many of them have become famous actors, such as cross talk actors. The combination of Zhang San Li Si, now the audience likes to scream when they see them. Every time they play, whether they are performing new jokes or old jokes, they can receive a lot of flower basket rewards, which improves their ability to make jokes a lot , money and fame are the driving force behind development and strength.

Now the dignitaries of Chang'an City often take out some of their jokes to tease each other, joking, and the culture of making fun of boredom is opened in their hands. Don't underestimate this kind of market culture, which can make the more dull The ancients improved many communication skills.

Of course, when they saw the patriarch-like character Sun Xiangfu, the two still bowed respectfully. It is thanks to Sun Xiangfu that they can have today's popularity and income.

Yuchi Baolin, who followed Dongzhu downstairs, knew what was going on when he saw the situation here, and explained to Dongzhu, "You don't know that! There are many actors performing in front of the Wangjiang Tower, and the behind-the-scenes There are more staff, just now Zhengming asked me to call you, just to find some people to dance and sing for you, believe it or not, within half an hour, he can find dozens of people who can dance according to your style of music Here come the dancers."

"Half an hour? So good? I have been practicing these songs and dances for more than two months!"

Dongzhu still didn't believe it when she heard the words, but Li Xiangdie, who came later, dispelled her doubts.

"Professional song and dance artists, listening to music and dancing, are like singers plucking strings and singing poems. They can pick them up at their fingertips. As long as they unify their dance steps, they can quickly form a dance. The Wangjianglou stage is the best stage in the whole Tang Dynasty. , if you want to perform on it, you must have enough strength. Not to mention you have only practiced for two months, even me, I have practiced for more than ten years, and I may not be able to adapt to it all at once. Your performance tomorrow is for the emperor to see. Yes, you must obey the command and arrangement of the on-site director, and present your performance as perfectly as possible.”

Li Xiangdie is already half of Dongzhu's teacher. Her singing and dancing skills are much better than Yu Xiuer's, but she doesn't read as many books as Yu Xiuer, and she doesn't have as close contact with Sun Xiangfu as Yu Xiuer, so , and could not learn some ideas from Sun Xiangfu that transcended this era. After Yu Xiuer also led Hongmei Chuntao to the scene, Dongzhu really saw the strength of the Wangjianglou performance team.

After hundreds of musicians got their scores, they took their positions, and within a few minutes, under the command of a musician holding a baton, they began to conduct the music.

Soon, Dongzhu's scalp became numb from the powerful performance. This was the first time the musicians played together.

"This, this, this is also amazing. How did they do it?"

"They have systematically learned how to read the score. As long as they play against the score, they will not make mistakes. After familiarizing themselves with the score a few times, they can play immediately. Of course, if they want to achieve perfection, they need many times of joint practice. , if you listen carefully to the changes, you can know how different they are playing now and after the rehearsal is completed."

The implication of Li Xiangdie's words is that the performance Dongzhu is hearing now is not the best. She is a girl who grew up on the grassland, and she has never seen a few kinds of musical instruments. How good can a concert-level performance be?

The left and right are just some performance matters. After Sun Xiangfu greeted the musicians and dancers, he handed over the matter to Yu Xiuer. For these musicians and dancers, performing for the emperor is actually a common thing. .

After Sun Xiangfu and Li Chengqian left the stage and sat down in front of a table on the side, Hou Shuya, who followed Yu Xiuer to Wangjiang Tower, came over to them.

"Teacher, long time no see, the students miss you!"

Girls are precocious, Hou Shuya is only about 11 years old, and she is not much smaller than Yu Xiuer. After Sun Xiangfu nodded and motioned for her to sit together, he said, "Next year, the teacher will still stay in Shanyang most of the time, and you will also be with the teacher. Go, during this period of time, apart from arranging your dramas, you have to go back and see your parents, and in the future, it will be a year or so, but I won't see you again."

"Hehe, my wife has already told me that Shanyang is beautiful and there are flowers everywhere, I just want to go and see it!"

The girl is so innocent, she doesn't think too much, if her father knows that Sun Xiangfu wants her to go to Shanyang to perform for the barbarians, he will probably jump in anger, Hou Junji now sees her as a future queen.

"Well, after the spring of Shanyang, there will be a sea of ​​flowers, and the scenery is very beautiful, but you can't just play, you have to learn a lot, and be a useful person to the country and society."

Sun Xiangfu taught them a few words, and then began to tell them that he wanted to spread culture and promote national integration through drama performances. With this idea as a basis, they would go to perform Yu Xiuer's revision for them. When writing the script, you can be more energetic and focus on the key points.

After playing several times, Dongzhu was called onto the stage by Yu Xiuer. Faced with a venue that was even empty than the Sunyang Theater, Dongzhu was still a little uncomfortable, even though it was just a rehearsal.

"Don't worry! Sing according to your usual practice, as long as you let the chord accompaniment find your timbre, you don't have to worry about your voice being covered by the sound of the instrument."

In an era without microphones, a person's voice can easily be covered by the sounds of dozens or hundreds of musical instruments. Therefore, when performing on a stage as large as Wangjiang Tower, there will be a lot of people singing in harmony Even so, there is no guarantee that when the audience is full, everyone can hear the singer's singing clearly.

"I come from the grassland to warm your heart..."

When Dongzhu sang the second half of the chorus for the first time, the harmony accompaniment finally caught her voice and gradually joined in. Suddenly, an unprecedented experience made Dongzhu feel very refreshed. It turns out that the performance can be achieve this level.

There is no other reason. Now there are no guests in the restaurant, and it is empty. After the harmony accompaniment amplifies her voice, it is on par with the sound played by the musical instrument team. It is harmonious. The penetration and rendering power of the whole performance are better than hers. When the Yangzhou Opera Theater used the musicians from Yangzhou to score the music, it has reached a new level. Dongzhu, who has gradually gained a level of music appreciation, can naturally feel that on the stage, he has become more enthusiastic.

"This lady from the prairie has some comprehension. The cooperation with Yuchi Baolin is perfect. Teacher, you asked her to perform in Chang'an, just to let us Han people like their singing and dancing in the prairie!" Li Chengqian was very interested in Dongzhu's new song. , commented after listening to it once.

"Well, your comprehension ability is not low, so after you go back, you have to think more about how to make those people on the grassland also like the singing and dancing of our Han people."

For Li Chengqian's inference, Sun Xiangfu is naturally gratified. The ancients are not only not stupid, but also very smart. Sun Xiangfu only needs to guide them to a certain track, and they don't need to do everything themselves. They will go further along this road. The farther away, the performance system of Wangjiang Tower is like this, the development system of Xingfu Village is also like this, and so is Li Chengqian. After learning some thoughts of Sun Xiangfu, maybe he is a wise man who governs the world!
