Chapter 1037
"Thinking that I, Dong Hong, came here for a private visit as an inspector of the eight prefectures, but unexpectedly, Liu Yulong raped me, beat me up, and pushed me into a water prison.

However, I have three important things in mind, even if I die in Jiuquan, it will be difficult to rest my eyes.The first thing about me is that my mother is old and there is no one to serve her; the second thing is that I have a wife and I am not yet married; the third thing is that I am dead and no one knows about it, so I can’t avenge me..."

In the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe, a young student was singing, but the audience was in twos and threes, scattered here and there.

And in a box on the second floor of Zhengguantai, an old man with white hair but clean clothes is listening with his eyes closed, sometimes nodding his head, sometimes shaking his head and frowning.

He is none other than Mr. Shang Huiqiu, one of the few Peking opera masters nowadays, but the performers on stage are his disciples and grandchildren...

Peking opera is not the same as cross talk, it's not that they are too particular about seniority, but in terms of experience and skills, Mr. Shang Huiqiu must be the most profound.

He was born and raised in Liyuan, under the tutelage of Mr. Mei, with a big bowl on his head, ice water on his feet, lighting an incense burner and practicing his eyesight. Day after day, year after year, he worked hard to develop hard skills, singing, reading, doing, Everything is fine.

60 years ago, he was famous all over the world with Danjiao and became a big actor. Later, he created Shangpai art, made a lot of work for the reform of Peking Opera art, and became a master of art!
In today's China, it is not uncommon to see female seniors and female students, but male female students are really rare, and even now it is almost impossible to find an outstanding representative.

And Peking Opera is also on the decline... Let him, an old man who believes in Peking Opera, gradually become depressed.

At this time, he had long stopped performing on stage, but he still came to the Beijing Opera Troupe to listen to a few passages from time to time and chat for comfort.

It's just that compared to the grand occasion of the year, whether it's the actors on the stage or the audience in the audience, they are not as good as before...

He was frowning at the smell of an actor on stage, when he saw the owner of the Beijing Opera Troupe knocking on the door and coming in.

"Little Donger's singing is getting worse and worse with you... It's too perfunctory! Take me back to practice!" Shang Huiqiu snorted, as if venting her dissatisfaction with the actors on stage to the boss of the Beijing Opera Troupe .

The owner of the Beijing Opera Troupe repeatedly begged for mercy: "I beg you, Mr. Shang, I don't have many good actors. If you catch me another one, my Peking Opera Troupe will be closed!"

"Hmph, even if you close the door, you can't perfuse the audience. Tell that kid to come and find me later!" Shang Huiqiu said with a cold snort.

Seeing that he didn't mention bringing people back, the owner of the Beijing Opera Troupe was relieved. As for what kind of lesson Xiao Dong'er will receive... then he can only ask for his own blessing!

He quickly changed the subject to explain his intention: "Old Shang, is someone looking for you outside?"

"Which old friend is it? Just let them in. Is it necessary to be polite?" Shang Huiqiu asked suspiciously.

The owner of the Beijing Opera Troupe smiled and replied: "I'm not an insider, but a young man in the entertainment circle, Yi Shuihan, have you heard of his name?"

"Yi Shuihan?" Shang Huiqiu recalled: "Oh... I remember, the song "Go Home and Have a Look" he sang in the Spring Festival Gala was not bad..."

The owner of the Beijing Opera Troupe wiped his sweat, it was all a matter of the Year of the Monkey.

He quickly explained: "He is not only a singer, but also a good actor and investor. He has become a hot star in the industry in recent years!"

"Oh? That's considered a role!" Shang Huiqiu frowned: "But people in the entertainment circle, what do you want me to do?"

"Then I refused?" the old man of the Peking Opera Troupe asked in a low voice.

"It's already here, so let's see you, don't be said that I'm relying on the old and selling the old." Shang Huiqiu waved his hand and said.

"Come on!" The owner of the Beijing Opera Troupe immediately went out to announce that he thought it was necessary to have a good relationship with Yi Shuihan.

Although they are not in the same circle, there will be a place for dealing with each other after all.

This Yi Shuihan... It is almost foreseeable that he will become a giant in the entertainment industry in the future!

……

Yi Shuihan stood at the door, straightened his clothes a little, and took a deep breath.

He knew that what he was going to face was a master of Peking Opera who played an important role in the entire literary and art circle, and it was the key to the success of his "Farewell My Concubine", so he was extra cautious.

He knocked on the door, and a clear voice rang out from the box, which could not be heard in the slightest.

After entering the door, Shang Huiqiu carefully sized up the rumored hot star, her eyes lit up.

The cheekbones are just right; the nose should be the best among the facial features, tall and straight...

Bite normal lips plump; slightly raised chin makes the whole face look more three-dimensional...

The corners of the eyes are a bit sharp, but they still look soft. The double eyelids are very narrow, and they are inclined towards the inner pair.

This look... is definitely a good candidate for a male role!
It's a pity that he is a popular star artist, and it is impossible to switch to this declining Peking Opera.

What's more, I am too old, and it is difficult to achieve results!

"Mr. Shang, junior Yi Shuihan took the liberty to visit, please forgive me." Yi Shuihan smiled and cupped his hands.

"It doesn't matter," Shang Huiqiu waved his hands and said with a smile: "The visitor is a guest, let's sit and watch a show together?"

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Yi Shuihan sat down and looked at it for a while and said with a smile, "It's "Shuangheyin"."

Shang Huiqiu turned her head to look at Yi Shuihan in surprise and asked, "Do you also have research on Peking Opera?"

"Research is not really counted, but I have some understanding..." Yi Shuihan said with a smile, he has dabbled in this traditional culture to some extent.

Especially after deciding to shoot "Farewell My Concubine", I read a lot of related books.

"It's really rare!" Shang Huiqiu sighed, feeling a little more fond of the young man beside him.

After the two had watched the whole play, Shang Huiqiu looked at Yi Shuihan with a smile and asked, "Tell me, what can you do with me, an old man?"

Yi Shuihan sat upright, knowing that the main show was coming, he looked at Shang Huiqiu seriously and said, "I want to ask Mr. Shang to help me master a movie."

"Then you have found the wrong person... The old man has no research on this area, and he doesn't have the energy to try it!" Shang Huiqiu refused with a smile.

"What if I say this movie is about Peking Opera?" Yi Shuihan asked with a smile.

"Peking opera... the movie you want to make is related to this?" Shang Huiqiu became a little interested.

"Well... it is a big span from the 20s to the 60s, and it also shows the scenes of Peking Opera's heyday!" Yi Shuihan said.

"Do you have the script? Show me." Shang Huiqiu was still moved. After all, he had dealt with Peking Opera all his life. Hearing that it could be put on the big screen, even though he didn't have much energy, he still cheered up.

"Yes!" Yi Shuihan handed the prepared script to Shang Huiqiu, and seeing that he was struggling to read, he smiled and said, "Shang Lao, let me read it to you?"

Shang Huiqiu raised his eyes and glanced at Yi Shuihan, with a smile on his lips: "I have a heart!"

Yi Shuihan's words were straight and round, and Shang Huiqiu didn't bother to listen at all. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was listening to an opera before.

His voice pulled him back to the era when Peking Opera was in full swing...
