Chapter 533 Psychological Quality
The performance on the stage is still going on.
After experiencing confusion and choices, the mulberry picking girl gave up her hard-won marriage in the eyes of everyone, and completely embarked on the road of doing business.
The family uncle scolded her for being confused; the close friends in the boudoir advised her to think carefully; the villagers whispered that the mulberry picking girl must be doing business outside and had a good friend so she dared not marry; the father blamed his serious illness for dragging down his daughter's marriage. , I feel that it is impossible for the mulberry picking girl to give up a good marriage. It must be that the man dislikes the mulberry picking girl because she is too old and has unilaterally regretted the marriage after showing up in public to do business outside.
The mulberry picking girl did not respond to the flood of persuasion and accusations, but sat alone in the room, singing her thoughts to the tables and chairs.
In the past, for the sake of her father, her younger siblings, and her family, she gave up the wedding banquet and learned to do business with difficulty despite the comments and accusations from outsiders.
I have been framed by my peers, saddened by officials, and bullied by villagers.The mulberry-picking girl struggled through one hurdle after another in her life, all for the sake of others.
Now her business is improving, her father is in good health, her younger siblings have grown up, and there are even merchants who also do the silkworm business. But the mulberry picking girl hesitated.
She didn't want such a happy ending.
The thirteen- and four-year-old mulberry-picking girl only thinks about getting married, taking care of her husband and raising children, and living a short and ordinary life like all girls of her age.Fate pushed it to another path, and now it was time to set things right, but she was unwilling to come back.
Her father's self-blame, her clan's responsibilities, and her younger siblings' incomprehension made the mulberry picker miserable, but the career that caused her pain made her happy.
Life is so short, she has been living for her family all her life, and now she has come to the intersection of fate again.This time she doesn't want to make choices for others, she wants to make choices for herself.
The mulberry picker rejected the marriage, took money, and was about to leave her homeland and go to a more distant place.
Before leaving, relatives and friends of the mulberry picking girl came to the pier to see her off.
The father gave her the dowry he had already prepared for the mulberry picker, the younger brother gave her the dozens of copper coins he had accumulated, and the younger sister asked for a peace talisman for the mulberry picker. If Sangnu can't get along outside, she will come back, and the clan is not bad for her, an old sister-in-law who can't get married...
With the farewell of relatives and friends, the mulberry picking girl embarked on a boat leaving her hometown, and truly started her magnificent life.
The fourth act, the end.
Between Act 4 and Act 5, there was a 5-7 minute transition time. Seeing the curtain being pulled down, the boss who loves fried chicken in the box felt a lot more comfortable. Take a big sip of the stale iced Coke.
"It's so interesting!" said the boss who loves fried chicken. "What's the point of struggling in this feudal and backward small place? No matter how good the business is, you can't escape the fate of a married woman. The mulberry picking girl At most, it is a raw material production place, and there are not many weaving girls. How much money can you make by picking mulberry and selling silk? You must sell silk to make money. I have been entangled in this and that. I should have left here long ago. Five years ago Time to leave!"
The boss's mother gave her noisy son an angry look: "I don't know how to play!"
"That's it!" the boss's father echoed, "Do you understand the beginning and end? Can you think this scene is good without the foreshadowing before? The mulberry picking girl is the daughter of a farmer's family who makes a living by farming and picking mulberries. You expect her to be straight from the beginning. Awakening to leave your hometown and go out to do business? Dreaming? Do you remember how much money you lost when you first went out to do business?"
"I remember not only losing money, but being cheated 7..."
Hearing that Dad started digging through his old accounts, the boss who loves fried chicken quickly raised his hand: "Stop, stop, watch the show, Dad, what do you think I am doing? I am... just... a little bit of business decision-making. Small mistake."
"Heh." The boss father said with a sarcasm, completely ending the topic.
When the curtain reopened, the boss who loves fried chicken suddenly said, "Dad, do you think our theater should invite Xiao Bailing to tour this play?"
"I feel that the play may not make much money. If we invite Xiao Bailing to come and sell the tour tickets, our theater will lose a lot of money. It's all a good start by Ge Hong, and the share ratio is so exaggerated. We can only use an even more exaggerated share ratio, and Boss Jiang made all the money. The box office of 2000 million, after the final calculation of the cost, our theater will have it..."
"Stop making noise, the show is about to begin!"
The boss who loves to eat fried chicken shut up, looked at the stage, and found that the plot was really bright, and the mulberry picking girl realized the Tao and changed to a new map. After more than ten years of business experience, no matter what difficulties she encountered It can all be solved.
Finally, the long-awaited Shuangwen plot begins!
The boss who loves to watch "The Legend of the Emperor" and loves to eat fried chicken immediately became energetic. He touched the Coke next to it and felt that it was not ice-cold or exciting.
Although the libretto is still a bit literary, and some sentences are not understandable, but the plot is cool.
Wen Zouzou's cool drama is also a cool drama.
Love to watch!
If someone wanders a little bit at this moment and moves their eyes to the left and right, they will find that they say they don’t understand and don’t like to watch, so Jiang Qi, who refuses to sit in the auditorium, is standing at the side of the stage with his arms around him. In front of the chest, leaning against the pillar, watching the play with very poor vision.
If Jiang Qi had to use one sentence to describe Amway's mulberry picking, it would probably be: It's good to get through the first three scenes.
The poor scholar who wrote about the mulberry girl knows the plot of Shuangwen.
Act 5 and Act 6, that is, in the plot where the mulberry-picking girl reaches the pinnacle of life, not only the plot is very cool, but even the libretto is not as elegant as the first 4 acts, and the rhythm is so particular that it is hard to understand.
Of course, the main reason for this result may be that there are more original parts by Wang Xinghua in the last two scenes.No matter how bad the original author is, he is a poor scholar who has been studying for many years and has been working hard on the imperial examination track.Wang Xinghua is not majoring in the Four Books and Five Classics. She has to learn astronomy, geography, and arithmetic. If she can't write such literary words, she can only focus on the track of Shuangwen, which she is good at.
But at the same time, you can't use too much force. If you use too much force, the name of this play will be changed to "The Legend of the Mulberry Girl".
Therefore, the plot of the last two scenes of the mulberry girl is actually not so exciting.
After all, the mulberry picking girl is not reborn, and it is impossible to kill all the way and finally ascend to the throne like "The Legend of the Emperor".But if the audience who don't like the first 4 acts can get through the early stage and watch it carefully, then the last two acts are really cool.
Why do you want to slap the face and abuse the scum, why do you have to spend 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, why do you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Of course, it's all for the sake of coolness later.
Without the aggrievedness in the early stage, how can you highlight the coolness in the later stage?
Although "The Legend of the Empress" has been opened all the way, there are also past lives that failed and aggrieved in the first 5 minutes, which can be regarded as a small foreshadowing.
Just as Jiang Qi was watching, Wang Xinghua suddenly poked her head out and asked in a low voice, "How is the boss? Do you still like my subsequent adaptation?"
"Hey." Jiang Qi was startled by Wang Xinghua, almost jumped up, and said angrily, "It's not a ghost anymore, it's scary to appear and disappear."
Wang Xinghua smiled embarrassedly: "I'm used to it."
"I probably like it." Jiang Qi pointed to the audience in the front row, "It looks very engaging. By the way, I didn't ask you before, what did you change in the last two scenes?"
"A little change to the ending." Wang Xinghua made a little gesture with her hand, "I didn't really like the original ending, so I changed it."
"What was the original ending?" Jiang Qi asked.
"The mulberry picking girl met her true love, stepped into the palace of marriage after a successful career, gave birth to a son at the age of 37, and lived a happy life."
Jiang Qi: ...
"When the mulberry girl first came out, many ladies from the official family and the ladies from the big merchants liked this ending very much. You can understand that this is a deviant woman who used a deviant way to obtain a happy life with a happy ending in everyone's hearts. "Wang Xinghua said, "But in my time, many people don't like this ending very much."
"It's not that it's not good to get married, but that the mulberry-picking girl had given up marriage to pursue a career in order to break free from the shackles of the world on women, but in the end she returned to marriage. It's a bit weird."
"Maybe it's because if it wasn't for this ending, the drama wouldn't be so popular." Jiang Qi pointedly said, "The story of a deviant woman returning to the right path has a wider audience than the story of a deviant woman who lived her whole life. "
"That's right." Wang Xinghua nodded, "They all have to eat. I just thought that many people would scold the original ending, so I changed it a little."
"After all, the ending of building a hometown after success and fame is also in line with the core socialist values."
Jiang Qi gave Wang Xinghua a thumbs up.
Wang Xinghua was extremely proud.
After a short period of complacency, Wang Xinghua finally remembered why she came to Jiang Qi: "Boss, my father asked me to remind you not to leave after the opera is over. There will be a reception in Xuecun Tavern later, you have to go to help Solicit business."
"Business?" Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized, "Oh, you're talking about the "Mulberry Picking Girl" tour, right?"
"Yes, you are the boss, so it's better to find out what the theater owners say. "The Mulberry Picker" is definitely not as popular as "The Legend of the Emperor". When "The Legend of the Emperor" was on tour before, our theater took such a high share ratio. If "The Legend of the Emperor" If the proportion of "Mulberry Picker" is still the same, these theaters may not be willing to accept the tour."
Jiang Qi understood what Wang Xinghua meant. The difference between "The Mulberry Picker" and "The Legend of the Emperor" was a literary film and a commercial film.Making money must be made by commercial films. The owners of major theaters are open for business. Now no one knows whether "The Mulberry Picker" will be as famous as Wang Xinghua's world. Naturally, no one is willing to lose money to make money. I don't know. Can you make a yell.
If "Mulberry Picking Girl" is going to be on tour, the share ratio will definitely have to be renegotiated.
As much as it is talked about, it is technical work.
Although Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling have many dramas that can be changed in a short period of time, it is impossible to throw out all of these dramas at once.Let's not talk about the time required for rehearsal, just talk about the quality of the opera itself, even if it is a pure drama like "The Legend of the Emperor", the quality is guaranteed.
It is difficult to produce a new play. One new play a year is already very strange. If the amusement park releases several films a year...
Some people will probably start to wonder if Wang Xinghua has obtained the Wenchaogong system, the kind that only copies opera scripts.
One new play a year, 1-2 months of rehearsal, 3-4 months of acting in the amusement park, 2-3 months of touring, the rest of the time depending on the situation, rest and performing previous operas, it is a very benign rehearsal class.
Jiang Qi made an OK gesture: "No problem, leave it to me!"
"I do things, don't worry."
.
At 8:50, the show ends.
Seeing the mulberry picking girl sitting on the rocking chair in the bedroom of the old house, closing her eyes peacefully after reviewing her life, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Cai Jiamin was so excited that she wished she could stand up directly, applauding again and again, applauding wildly.
While applauding, he turned his head and asked the senior brother: "Brother, I remember you just said that Manager Wang from the theater of "Mulberry Picking Girl" wrote it. Who is Manager Wang?"
The brother clapped his hands and thought for a while: "It seems to be a little girl around 20 years old. I heard them say that her face is very pale, and I have never seen it before."
"Quickly help me find out, tonight... oh no, there will be a reception later, then tomorrow morning... isn't the morning too good, maybe it's noon, I want to invite her to dinner at noon tomorrow!"
The senior brother was a little curious: "You want to invite Manager Wang to dinner? Normally, shouldn't you invite Xiao Bailing to dinner?"
Cai Jiamin grinned, and gave the senior brother a standard smile showing 6 teeth: "Inviting Xiao Bailing to dinner is a peer exchange, and you can move back. Inviting Manager Wang to dinner is mainly to ask her to do me a favor."
"busy?"
"Brother, don't you think it's a shame to write the Huangmei Opera with Manager Wang's talent?"
Brother:? ? ?
"She should come and write a playbook for our Kunqu opera!"
Brother: ...
Cai Jiamin seems to have seen Wang Xinghua write herself a playbook of Kunqu opera that is not inferior to the mulberry girl, the kind that has both literary talent, plot and marketability. The new play caused a sensation as soon as it was performed, and Kunqu opera once again reached its peak. future.
The senior brother glanced at Cai Jiamin, and knew that his good junior sister was dreaming again.
For so many years, Cai Jiamin has never given up on the glorious dream of Kunqu opera returning to the ancestor of a hundred operas.
Cai Jiamin is still dreaming, but Yang Qing has already started to act.
Under normal circumstances, after the actor's curtain call, the ordinary audience will leave in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff, and the related audience will go to the backstage to chase stars through the staff channel.
Yang Qing belongs to the third category.
She is a former staff member with connections.
The actors on the stage had just finished unloading the curtain, Feng Ling might not have fully returned to the backstage, Yang Qing hugged Bao Hua and rushed out as a black shadow.
The quick action made Yin Fei's friends in the back row who wanted to chat with Yang Qing stupid.
Yin Fei's friend opened her mouth, and the hand that wanted to pat Yang Qing's shoulder was hanging in the air, and she froze for several seconds before letting it go.
"Yin Fei, your student...has diarrhea?"
Yin Fei smiled, glanced at her friend who also wanted to stuff students in as interns, and felt secretly proud.
"Maybe, Xiao Yang's personality is just like this, he's always in a hurry."
"But she is serious about her work. Xiao Bailing and I have praised her several times, and I really like her as an intern."
Intern Yang Qing skillfully rushed into the backstage.
Seeing Yang Qing coming, everyone was very happy. Leader Feng smiled and said: "Xiaoqing, you came to the show too, and you came with your aunt. How is the business of Fangyuan Theater these days? Have you ever been on stage?"
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Not yet, students like me who haven't graduated can only help out with chores, and help with word alignment."
Yang Qing continued to talk, but kept her hands on, quickly took out the things in the bag and put them in the cabinet, and helped everyone tidy up by the way.
"Oh, Mr. Bai, you have used up the tangerine peel I gave you last time, why don't you send me a WeChat message to let me know, so that I can send you a new can. Just right, I brought extra this time Two cans, during the Chinese New Year, I found that it would be better to add some dried chrysanthemums to the tangerine peel, I brought you a can, and I will make a cup for you tomorrow morning to try."
"Mr. Feng, I can't practice the singing you taught me last time at home during the Chinese New Year. Are you free tomorrow morning? If you are free, you can teach me again."
Team Leader Feng nodded immediately: "No problem, it can be done in the morning. Now that everyone lives in the theater, it is convenient to practice early exercises in the morning. If you can wake up, I will guide you when you practice early exercises tomorrow."
"Xiao Qing, have you practiced the play last time?"
"I've practiced it well, even if no one plays with me, I don't know what it's like to act for real."
"That's right, this Fangyuan Theater is a big theater, and interns like you have few opportunities to be on stage."
"Yes." Yang Qing sighed.
A group of people just chatted in the background, and Yang Qing poured water and made tea for everyone while chatting, perfectly blending in.
This is what Feng Ling saw when he changed into his casual clothes and went backstage to take off his makeup.
Yang Qing handed Feng Ling a cup of freshly brewed scented tea as soon as Feng Ling walked into the backstage.
"Yang Qing is here too." Feng Ling took the flower tea with a smile, "What do you think of today's performance?"
"Excellent!" Yang Qing's eyes were full of little stars, "If I can sing to the level of Teacher Xiao Bailing one day, I will die without regret!"
"Say nonsense, bah bah bah." Feng Ling bawled a few times, "Don't say such nonsense."
"Don't talk nonsense?" Wang Xinghua and Wang Pingxiu walked backstage, and Yang Qing hurriedly served tea.
"It's nothing." Feng Ling sat down on her makeup seat and began to remove it, "When does the reception start?"
"Half an hour later, the boss had already passed by first. He told us not to rush or dress up deliberately, just go in casual clothes."
Feng Ling nodded.
"Manager Wang." Yang Qing stood beside Wang Xinghua, and said nervously, "Well... is there still room in the staff dormitory? Can interns live in the staff dormitory?"
"Yes." Wang Xinghua nodded, "When the theater was redecorated, I specially reserved rooms for you interns, what's wrong?"
"It's like this. Didn't I come to watch the performance with Teacher Yin and my aunt this time? In order not to make a long trip, I brought all my luggage here. Manager Wang, should I stay in the dormitory today or tomorrow Huh?" Yang Qing was extremely anxious, for fear that Wang Xinghua would hear the scheming in her words.
"If you're not afraid of trouble, you can move today. Anyway, the empty dormitory is clean, and you can move in after a simple cleaning." Wang Xinghua said, "Did you bring the quilt?"
"Bring it!" Yang Qing nodded again and again, "Then I'll move in later, so I can ask Teacher Feng some questions when I practice morning exercises tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll get you the key later. Is it okay to live on the fourth floor? I want to tell you that there is no elevator in the dormitory."
"No problem! Manager Wang, I'll go back to Xuecun to get my luggage!"
After speaking, Yang Qing happily ran away.
Wang Pingxiu looked at Yang Qing's back appreciatively, and whispered: "Xinghua, this girl is quite like our family!"
"It's just that her acting skills are a bit poor." Wang Xinghua said, "She should have been more natural just now."
"Indeed." Wang Pingxiu nodded, "Having a guilty conscience is a big taboo, and mental quality needs to be practiced."
Wang Pingxiu said proudly against the sight of death coming from around him, "Look at Dad, Dad's psychological quality is very good."
