Chapter 299: The Three Bonds in Taoyuan
The Sang Family Wazi in the east of the city is very lively today. The newly opened entertainment company of Sansi opened here today. The big trick written by Xu Ping was hung in the most conspicuous place. In order to recruit people, he also printed advertisements and hired children on the street to spread them everywhere in Kaifeng City. Small advertisements were already available in Kaifeng City. After Sansi started to open various companies, it became more prosperous with Xu Ping's intentional promotion. The blessing of Sansi's papermaking companies and printing companies is no longer expensive now.
After completing the affairs in the yamen early, Xu Ping invited a group of officials who liked this kind of entertainment to keep the most in the middle of the audience. At this time, rap was the most enthusiastic, and the most people were good at speaking, and the most supporters. Talking about stories, the words were similar to later storytelling. But this era could not be called storytelling, because storytelling refers to the scriptures of explanation. For example, those who taught Zhao Zhen specifically about the books of sages, so folk artists dare not hang out with them.
The Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan sat in the middle, in great interest, while looking at the surrounding scenery while judging the best. In his identity, he used to invite these artists to his home, and let them act like whatever they want to hear and see. Xu Ping's three companies opened these companies, and it would be a bit difficult to do if that happened.
As soon as the company opened, the Eight Kings sent someone to ask Xu Ping what the company is best at acting. Xu Ping replied that the Eight Kings would call people to play at home, but Xu Ping gave him a bill. It is not particularly expensive to invite people to the house. Xu Ping has always been fair in business and never be rude. The problem is that there are fifty or sixty three-pointers, which is a bit scary. No matter how rich the Eight Kings' family is, they will not be cheated by Xu Ping like this. In the end, they have to listen first to whether the money is worth it.
Drinking tea and eating fruits, the Eight Kings talked and laughed with the people around them. The people who were most passionate about these folk entertainment were naturally those who were rich and leisurely, either princes, powerful people, or close ministers of foreign relatives, and then military generals. The civil officials looked down on these folk arts, and the other was that of money and leisure were not as good as these people, and they liked less.
Behind these people, the civil servants came mainly a few idle people in the museum and Xu Ping gave them a ticket to support the venue. Among them were Han Qi and Wang Yaochen. They did not like it, but because they were in charge of the Censorate. Another was to take care of Xu Ping's face and came to support him. Behind them, Li Xu and Liu Yong were sitting there.
Liu Yong was appointed as a magistrate in Hedong and returned to Beijing to change officials. Xu Ping asked him to attend the event with Tian Kuang. In this era, all the palace tunes were only in the form of the imperial style, and even this name was based on Xu Ping's impression of his previous life, which was very primitive. Originally, he sang only according to the words of the speech, adding some lyrics, and the main body was still based on the words, and the singing was just a embellishment. To develop into later operas, there are still countless ways to go. The lyrics and music of operas must be made by people with musical talent and literary cultivation. Xu Ping can only provide some story summary. Music is not his strength, so he can only find professionals to do it.
Liu Yong, speaking in his heart, Xu Ping felt that he was a little wronged as a county-level official. Not only did he feel wronged in his talent, but he also felt wronged in the people under his rule. This guy is really not a material to be close to the rule and love the people. It is better to take care of the entertainment industry by doing his best.
After greeting the princes and nobles around him, the Eight Great Kings said to Xu Ping: "Advice, you are all good here, but you are too greedy for money. It is good for the three corporations to manage money and food, but you can't just see money in your eyes."
Xu Ping was stunned: "King, how do you say this? Look at the crowd of guests today, everyone doesn't think it's expensive!"
"Forget it, don't bully me and don't understand the worldly and kindness! How many people are sitting here? You can bring you a scene of strengthening the scene? Look at the tiles elsewhere, you can just pay one penny or two pennies to enter and have fun for a day. When you enter the door, you have to pay twenty pennies as soon as you enter the door, and our seats cost fifty pennies. If you dare to accept this, you will only see the money in your eyes!"
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can't just see how much you charge. You sit here, with tea, wet towels, cold wind, and servants waiting to be ordered at any time. This is something elsewhere? Besides, it's good to only collect one or two papers in other places, but no matter what you read or what you listen to, people still have to reward money. There is no such rule here."
The Eight Great Wang Qi said: "Don't give me money, what do you eat and drink when you speak? Don't support your family?"
"Of course, there are companies that pay them wages! Where does the wages come from? Come from the money you paid when you start. When we are having fun, there is no need to give rewards. One is to save you money, and the other is to lose unnecessary worries. Other speakers in the tiles, for the sake of rewarding money, will stay away from talking when they reach the critical link, and they have to ask for enough money before talking. How should the listeners be anxious? When they go to the tiles of Sansi, they will be fine after paying those dozens of dollars, and they will be fine. Enjoy the whole day."
The Eight Kings shook their heads with a smile, not knowing whether it was praise or whether they felt that what Xu Ping said could not convince him.
In this messy kung fu, the curtain in front opened and Li Shibalang walked onto the stage.
At this time, people with this status cannot wear the clothes of scholars. They do not have the temperament of either long robe or suits like Xu Ping in his previous life, but are wearing short brown clothes like the working people. They cannot sit, but can only stand and say. If they follow their usual rules, they have to bow and thank the people who come to support them first.
Xu Ping spared those old rules because performances on stage are different from performing in the crowd, and they must capture the audience's attention. Although self-deprecating identity can make people feel intimate, speaking programs can also easily distract the audience.
Li Shibalang Shishi walked to the middle of the stage and bowed and bowed: "The young Li Shibalang was originally talking in Xiwazi, the state of Xiwazi, and was asking for some rewards to make a living. Because the officials in the Sansili were appreciated, they came here to say a few gossips and please everyone to have fun."
The Eight Kings touched their waists, raised their hands and wanted to reward them. Suddenly, they remembered what Xu Ping said about not giving rewards here, so they couldn't help but put down their hands again. They turned around and looked at Xu Ping and laughed.
Li Shibalang has been doing things for many years. Although it was the first time he spoke on such an occasion, he could still calm down. Regardless of the various expressions and actions of the people below the stage, just talk about his own.
Let’s not talk about the main topic, but tell a short story that has recently happened in the capital to attract the attention of the people. This is called Desheng First Rebirth, also called Desheng First Rebirth, because most of the audiences who usually hear the talk are imperial guards, Desheng will try their best to win them, and a large group of people are small vendors, and profit will please them. Desheng First Rebirth's name has been used to descendants, but it was in this era when he first called it.
Li Shibalang tells the story of Feng Shiyuan recruiting people and cheating loans from the Beijing Bank some time ago. However, the story is relatively simple, and it is just roughly mentioned, leaving room for future performance. This is from Xu Ping's instructing that these companies are not to make money, but to promote the new policy. Of course, we cannot miss a little opportunity.
After listening to Li Shibalang's speech, the Eight Great Kings smiled at Xu Ping and said, "This is a clever person, and this matter can be explained in detail."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Shibalang on the stage say: "The world's general trend will be divided after a long time of unity, and long time of division will be combined. Today, I would say this passage. During the Jian'an period of the Later Han Dynasty, three heroes saved the world from danger and formed brothers of different surnames, called "Taoyuan Sanjieyi"!"
The Eight Great Kings were stunned: "I have heard of the three-pointer countless times, why haven't I heard this passage?"
Of course I have never heard of it. Taoyuan Three-Ming is a legendary story that has been developed with the prosperity of the Three-Ming and the content has been continuously increased in later generations. This story has not yet been formed in this era. Xu Ping re-arranged the story of Three-Ming according to his memories of his previous life and put it on this beginning. How can it attract people without a different place from other places?
