The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 376 The Courage of Dieyi Clothes (Full Order)

Three years ago, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou played Farewell My Concubine. Although they were amazing and had a bright feeling, most of them felt that it was Yu Ji who looked too much like Yu Ji. Yu Ji should be like this Like acting, a "true Concubine Yu" scored a lot.

Now the play that the two of them are acting in has really reached the point where they are proficient and able to do a job with ease.In the past, everyone paid attention to the real Concubine Yu, but now the audience can focus on dramas other than Concubine Yu, and appreciate the accomplishments of the drama itself.

Sing again.

The upsurge of the audience outside the venue was seduced by the opera tunes one after another, and reached popularity.

Not only did there not appear to be any ticket refunds among the audience present, but because of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou's performance today, many theater audiences outside bought tickets one after another, wanting to go to Tianhe Tea Garden to see it.

Some of the audience also heard that Bai Gui was here, so they wanted to see the real face.

Below the stage, places to stay gradually became scarce.

"Meihe, look, isn't that Mrs. Leng and Miss Leng from the Leng Residence?"

"Why did they also arrive at Tianhe Tea Garden and enter the box next door?"

While Bai Gui was enjoying the drama, Bai Xiuzhu who was beside her suddenly caught a glimpse of Mrs. Leng and Leng Qingqiu among the bustling crowd, and said in a low voice.

There are quite a few theaters in Yanjing, and it is rare to meet familiar people.

As for the economic situation of the Leng Zhai, Bai Xiuzhu also had a little understanding of it. With a down-and-out scholarly family, it is unlikely that she would have the money to go to the Tianhe Tea Garden to listen to the opera, and she would still be seated in a private box.

Although the theater tickets for box tickets are not expensive, they range from a few silver dollars to dozens of silver dollars.

It depends on the quality and number of boxes.

Leng Zhai can afford this money.

But this is an opera, not a major expense item.If the cold house lived like this, the family would have collapsed a long time ago, and it can save a little money on weekdays, it is a little money, and it will not be so extravagant and wasteful.If Leng Zhai really likes to listen to operas, he can buy ordinary tickets for [-] cents a piece.

"It's probably because of Miss Huichang..."

"This Tianhe Tea Garden is a place where Miss Hui and the concubines of the Jin Mansion often come. Recently, Jin Yanxi is pursuing Leng Qingqiu... The theater tickets that Leng Qingqiu gave last time are also tickets for Tianhe Tea Garden."

Bai Gui also saw Leng Qingqiu, nodded and said.

The reason why he and Bai Xiuzhu came to Tianhe Tea Garden for the first time to listen to an opera was because Cheng Huichang, the second young lady of Jinfu, gave him, Bai Xiuzhu, and Mrs. Bai three theater tickets to Tianhe Tea Garden.

So although there are many theaters in Yanjing, it is not surprising that Mrs. Leng and Leng Qingqiu happened to come to Tianhe Tea Garden.

Every theater has certain regular customers.

Similarly, theatergoers who develop consumption habits will not easily change the theater they have been listening to unless there are new famous actors appearing in other theaters.

Therefore, when Jin Yanxi pursued Leng Qingqiu and invited her to the theater, he naturally went to a friend who went to the theater in Jin's mansion to ask for theater tickets. He had money in his hand, but not much money left, so every cent he could save was worth every penny.

When Bai Xiuzhu heard the words, she was relieved and no longer bothered about this matter.

They didn't have any deep friendship with the cold house.

Although Liu Bao'er and Leng Qingqiu have a good relationship, it has little to do with them. At most, they can ask a curious question, and if there are more, they won't get involved.

lean less.

The scene of Farewell My Concubine is approaching loneliness.

Yu Ji danced a sword flower, saluted and said, "I sang this play for Mr. Bai today, in order to repay Mr. Bai's kindness to me. Therefore, all the money for this performance, including the money for watching and rewarding you, will be paid by me. He and his brothers have decided to donate it to charity."

"I'm clarifying this matter now, not after the fact. I just want everyone to be a witness and recognize the amount of money. In order not to say that Cheng Dieyi is greedy for money, it's no big deal to spread and insult my reputation, but if it insults Bai It's Dieyi's fault for Mr.'s good reputation."

Donate afterwards, how much was donated, and is the money donated all today?
Is it just fishing for fame?
There will always be some people who don't look good at others to spread rumors.

A simple good deed, if you want to do it well, you have to do a good job, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble afterwards.

Although Cheng Dieyi became famous quickly, but after so many years of struggling in the low-level industry, from a low-level person to now a famous actor in the capital and Jinmen, he is called Boss Cheng, and the entire theater troupe relies on him To feed, where is an ignorant person.

He is not experienced in dealing with things, but he is by no means a beginner.

A person with no means, even if they get on the stage and become popular, they will just die young!
"Boss Cheng and Boss Duan are very generous!"

"Only because of the kindness of Boss Cheng and Boss Duan, I, Lao Huang, will definitely join us in the future."

"..."

When the audience in the audience heard these words, they all felt that the role they won was right, and the more generous they were when they watched it one by one.

In less than a while, the treasures for viewing and appreciation piled up into a hill.

……

Mrs. Leng and Leng Qingqiu who had just entered the box of the local brand heard Cheng Dieyi's words.

Can't help but stunned for a moment.

"Is Boss Cheng singing for the audience today, or is it just to thank Mr. Bai?"

Leng Qingqiu was stunned.

Mrs. Leng likes to listen to operas, and even her daughter likes to listen to operas.In recent years, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou are the most popular actors.

Whoever invites two people to sing a play is a big deal.

Can report in newspapers.

However, this matter fell on Bai Gui, but it was not worth mentioning.

a piece of cake!
It's just that this incident really shocked Leng Qingqiu.

In the past, although she knew that Bai Gui's status and reputation were not low, but Bai's house was next to Leng's house, separated by a wall, so despite the distance, it was not untouchable.

But at this moment..., Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou, who made her think they were the corners, didn't even have the slightest airs in front of Bai Gui.Bai Gui doesn't like to listen to opera very much, and she can't go to the theater a few times a year, she still has a little understanding of this.

But today I come here once, and I will be accompanied by a famous actor singing in person...

Such cards are really enviable.

……

Tianzi box.

"Boss Cheng and Boss Duan are quite bold this time."

"This donation is at least several thousand pieces of cash."

Bai Gui said with emotion when he heard what Cheng Dieyi said.

In the early days of the Republic of China, the appearance fee was not low.

According to the "Beijing News" report at the time, the role of an actor was covered with silver, which was by no means comparable to that of ordinary working-class people.Not to mention first-line big actors, only second- and third-line troupes can get ten to twenty silver dollars for a play.The bottom of the game can also get two or three dollars.

At that time, Tan Xinpei was the one with the highest role, and his role in a scene was 500 taels of silver in the late Qing Dynasty.It was two to three times more than the salary of a first-rank official at that time.After arriving in the Republic of China, Tan Xinpei went to the Shanghai stock market to sing in 1, with a monthly package of up to [-] yuan in silver.It was even higher than the salaries of senior officials and professors at that time, much higher!
Once, Yuan Shoufu celebrated his birthday and invited famous Yanjing actors to sing to celebrate his birthday.Give Sun Juxian a reward of two hundred silver dollars.But Sun Juxian disdained the two hundred silver dollars very much, and said: "Since I enshrined Lafayette in the inner court, I have only seen silver taels, but I have never seen silver dollars. Why do you say that I am the emperor and reward you with two hundred silver dollars? Gangzhai, let out a loud cry, the wind is coming, you upstart kid, it’s not worth mentioning.”

Of course, Sun Juxian didn't dare to confront Yuan Shoufu face to face, but when he left the city gate, he threw away the two hundred silver dollars directly.

For example, Lu Sujuan, a beautiful woman from the Eight Great Alleys, became popular in singing plums, and was as famous as Xueyanqin for a while. People said that "Xueyanqin is the first to talk about art, and Lu Sujuan is the only one who talks about sex." Ten thousand silver dollars will be used for daily expenses, and another eighty thousand silver dollars will be allocated as a performing arts fund.

But... It seems like a show can make so much money.

But we must also give the little ones a way out.

You can't just let the horns eat, but not the people below.Therefore, it is rare for a famous actor to act in a whole show, basically appearing as the finale.Similarly, it is unsustainable to sing with the voice of the audience useless.

Therefore, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou's donation this time may not be a difficult thing, but it is still a heartfelt gesture.

Charity performances, if there are frequent charity performances, there will be no way for them to survive in the entire theater circle.

After all... whoever becomes a horn doesn't want to be famous, but he doesn't want to go to great benefactors. It's okay to donate once, but if you donate too much, where will the other horns go?
　There is one more watch before the early morning, and two more after the early morning, at 01:30 and three o'clock.

　　I played mahjong all day today, and I was numb.
