The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 171: Ancestors of a hundred operas

Kong Ji created forms, collecting many pieces of music and stories, allowing them to be randomly combined and exchanged for new vitality.

And Yun Yanhui's idea gave this kind of palace tune infinite possibilities and development.

Kong Ji came up with the idea of ​​making the tunes appear in the world in the form of musical performances.

Yun Yanhui proposed a way of absorbing role-playing and adding more stage movements from Zaju, which made Zhugong Diao take a big step forward. The biggest difference between Yuan Zaju after that.

——The biggest difference between Yuan Zaju and Zhugong tune is that Yuan zaju sings, recites, does and plays on the stage in different roles, while Zhugong tune is sung by one person from beginning to end.

In contrast, of course, the former is more attractive to the audience and allows them to enter the story.

Even if it was just a thought, Kong Ji had already thought a lot about it.

The same is true for Zhang Shan people.

Based on their understanding of the art of the market, they immediately decided that they can do a lot.

Kong Ji is very excited. He can feel that he will create a new kind of top art through fusion. He can't wait to bow his head to Yunyan.

Yun Yan Hui said to Kong Ji: "Sir, just create your own creations, I will rent a yard for you, and recruit some people to rehearse for you. If you don't make it in a day, you will become famous overnight."

Kong Ji didn't expect Yun Yanhui to support him. This really confirmed his identity as a "destined nobleman", making him unable to contain his excitement. Holding Yun Yanhui's hand, he moved and said, "Great, great kindness. Don't say thank you, Kong will follow orders..."

"No need to be polite, Man Bian Jingjing knows that I am an enthusiastic person." Yun Yan replied playfully, "You just need to promise that you will give the most perfect performance."

Zhang Shanren laughed out loud, but Kong Ji couldn't laugh because he was too excited. His fingers kept moving, and he kept imagining in his mind that when Zhu Gong Tiao was performed in a miscellaneous way, it would be what is it like.

"How dare Mr. Kong live up to Mr.'s expectations!" Kong Ji also made up his mind to come up with the best work.

"This matter still needs to be kept secret, and then it will be shocking." Yun Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Mr. Kong, half a year, half a year, I hope you can finish a play. In this way, You can catch up with one of the biggest and most influential stages in Bianjing so far, and play it as the highlight."

Yunyan replied that she was the biggest and most influential, so she must be the biggest and most influential.

As soon as Zhang Shanren counted the time in his heart, he immediately understood, and gave Kong Ji a meaningful look, "You must not miss this opportunity, there are countless people in Bianjing who will be on the stage in order to get on the stage. And mad."

Kong Ji came from out of town and was inquiring about the industry all day long. Naturally, he did not know that the people of Bianjing lived by counting the days when Pu Guanze was completed. Those who are going to relocate to Puguanze, those who are looking forward to visiting Puguanze, and those who are waiting to open a store in Puguanze to make money... are all waiting for this place to open!

It has been more than a year since the construction of Puguanze started, and it is expected to be completed and opened next summer.

At that time, Pu Guanze will hold a grand opening ceremony of the tourism festival and recommend it to people in Bianjing and even Quankaifeng.

And the opening ceremony has been confirmed, the official family will attend, and there will be thousands of surnames playing together, so it really can be called the biggest and most influential stage.

Zhang Shanren introduced Kong Ji implicitly.

Rao knew Yun Yan's ability to return, and Kong Ji's heart couldn't help thumping.

Kong Ji learned from the Goulan shacks since he was a child. In all shacks, there will be a vacant space in the center, which is reserved for the emperor - of course, the official family will definitely not go to such a place .

However, this is a very influential stage, and it is watched by many audiences every day, which is an important way for an artist to become famous.

These folk artists are very much looking forward to receiving the favor of the emperor. The Jiaofang will sometimes hire people to perform in the palace. If they can perform in front of the official family, they can add "Imperial Front" in front of their name after they come out. Two words, the worth is also different from before. Such a stage is the highest and most compelling.

If you can perform on the day of the opening ceremony, it will be both, which means you can imagine - not to mention the main event!

Kong Ji was originally a local artist in Yang'a, and now someone told him after he entered Beijing that he could perform in front of the imperial palace. At this moment, he really only had four words in his heart, one step to the sky.

Kong Ji couldn't help thanking Yun Yanhui again, and said that he would work hard to live up to Yun Yanhui's cultivation and Zhangshan people's help.

Kong Ji believed that Yun Yanhui had a very good view on this, and wanted to ask him to talk in depth.

Fortunately, Yun Yanhui was standing on the shoulders of giants, and he didn't understand it well, but it was enough to guide him in the direction.

For example, Kong Ji asked about dressing up.

The various miscellaneous dramas that I see today are mostly funny ones. The actors are dressed in fancy and bright colors, and they also paint their faces, but their faces are painted white or black, just to amuse people.

Kong Ji then asked: "When you play and sing, you only need to pay attention to the emotions in the lyrics. If you add the figure of a miscellaneous opera and act, don't you have to pay attention to the performance on the face? With so many seats, the people behind look at it, and there is only one figure."

"Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately learn from the costumes of Zaxi, exaggerate the dress, and exaggerate the face painting, show the facial features, and make the actor's expression a little bigger, which is almost the same." After a moment, "But don't paint it ugly like a burlesque. If you are acting in love, the characters will naturally dress up beautifully."

Kong Ji nodded in agreement, remembered something again, and said, "Ah, today, Mr. Fang Meng gave me a name, and I call these various palace tune-ups called Tanci, but after calling it a few times, I have to put it on hold. In the form of Zaxi, how can it be called Tanci again?"

"Naturally, it's still called a play, the play is performed by Qu Zi." Yun Yan followed suit and continued, "You can choose another one."

Kong Ji stared at Yun Yanhui and wanted to remember Yun Yanhui in his name.

Yun Yan knew when he looked back at his expression, and quickly stopped him: "You are from Zezhou, and this drama was researched in Bianjing. I think it is good to call it Zexi or Bianxi. "

Yun Yan recalled that if Kong Ji added his name to this play, he would definitely be ashamed to explode.

Kong Ji thought about his adventures in Bianjing within a short time, and pursed his lips and smiled, "It's better to call it Bianxi."

Besides, this will also make it more acceptable to the people of Bianjing.

"Bian Opera, um, Bian Opera is good." Yun Yan likes Bianjing, and is full of expectations for this upcoming Bian Opera.

The opera, which was originally developed in the Yuan Dynasty, appeared ahead of time before Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty when a hundred flowers bloomed. What kind of sparks will it collide with this era, and what stories will be derived?

At this time, there are singers who are not inferior to the Yuan Dynasty theatre circles, and there are also talented people who have left countless famous works!

It's like meeting the best of art from two eras in a special way.

Yun Yanhui felt very honored to be able to witness this piece of history in person.

Speaking of which, Kunqu Opera was once known as the "Ancestor of Hundred Operas". Now, it should still be born, but this name will probably be given to the rapidly evolving Tanci - Bian Opera.

……

Yun Yanhui did what he said and went to rent a yard for Kong Ji and his disciples to live in, and then paid for Kong Ji to pick some new people to hire. If he wanted to arrange a new show, then his three disciples would definitely not be enough for a whole show.

Zhang Shan and Yun Yanhui are both local snakes, and they are still in the washroom, so there is no need to worry about hiring unreliable people.

It was Kong Ji who almost wanted to ask Yun Yan to come back to be the class leader—this was all supported by Yun Yan, and he wasn't embarrassed to be the class leader. This should have been his task.

Yun Yan said back, I am not the head of the class, I am the gold master.

This is really what Yun Yanhui said. Since the Confucian class was set up, even if Yun Yanhui was busy with Kaifeng Mansion and Puguanze, he would take time to go to the courtyard every few minutes to see. Meet Kong Ji to see his progress.

If Kong Ji felt that he was unsure, he would write it down and ask Yunyan for his opinion when he came back.

Of course, Yun Yanhui also made it clear that he can only give opinions on the performance form. If you ask him about singing, he really can't help.

However, Yun Yanhui knew that Shen Kuo also dabbled in music and drama, so he also pulled him into the water and asked him to give some advice.

Kong Jiju returned to discuss with Shen Kuo and Yun Yan, and also went to the book club to communicate with his colleagues in Bianjing, or to see if there were any advantages that could be absorbed by various performances.

As a result, although he did not perform in the show, his reputation spread. Because he knew ancient books, was good at arithmetic, and knew yin and yang, he was nicknamed "Kong San Chuan".

When Kong Ji said it, Yun Yanhui recalled it hard, as if the inventor of Zhugong Diao was Kong Sanzhuan, but Kong Sanzhuan was not his real name, so he didn't think of it at first.

You must know that Kong Sanzhuan is also the only one among the Bianjing folk artists of this era who can rival the status of Zhang Shanren.

In an instant, Yun Yanhui felt even more that his investment was very successful - putting aside Modern, is this all an artist?

……

The matter of investing in a drama troupe, Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu mentioned it once. Zhao Yunchu knew that Yun Yanhui often did such things, so he didn't care.

Until the rumors began to spread in the circle of friends, Yunyan went back to raise people outside...

It is said to be a lively and colorful one!

Who told Yun Yanhui to work in Kaifeng Mansion? When someone was patrolling, they saw him entering and leaving the yard, and the sound of singing came from inside. If I ask again, this yard is also named after Brother Yan. down.

Now it's all said and done.

The most exaggerated one is that Yun Yanhui often went to Zhao Yunchu's mansion to play, but Zhao Yunchu's brother Zhao Yunliang broke it all day and night, watching operas and listening to music, so he also raised a group of actors.

Isn't The Water Scenery earning a lot of money? I heard that they all fell on that group of people, there are men and women, old and young, they don't have to go out to perform all day long, they only serve one brother, Haoyan...

Everyone talked a lot, saying that Brother Yan usually keeps himself clean, and it seems that it is the same as his style.

Because he knew that Zhao Yunchu and Yun Yanhui were getting close, when Zhao Yunchu went to Kaifeng Mansion that day, someone persuaded him to come.

"Little lord, you and Brother Yan are too young. He is now sensual and obsessed with beauty, wouldn't you persuade him a little more?" What should I do if I get hollowed out by the goblin from Na Zezhou?"

Zhao Yunchu thought, the goblin from Zezhou is talking about Kong Ji? Although I haven't seen it before, I heard Brother Yan feel that this person's life is very rough. When writing the book, he bit the pen so badly. I don't think it's the type that Brother Yan likes. Besides...

Zhao Yunchu touched his face a little sadly: "Ah, if Brother Yan really knows how to indulge in beauty..."

Lobbyist: "???"
