Chapter 280

Especially when Concubine Yang learned that Tang Xuanzong failed to attend the appointment, but went to Concubine Jiang's bedroom, and even drank her sorrows with wine, the most classic "Drunken Concubine" began.

"Love and hate are in an instant! Raise your glass to the moon and love it like heaven! Love and hate are boundless, and I ask you when you will fall in love......."

As soon as the singing tune integrated with later generations came out, all the literati in the audience couldn't help being shocked, watching the scene on stage in disbelief.

"The imperial concubine is drunk!" Many literati couldn't help exclaiming.

If it is the previous libretto, it still has the basis of Song lyrics, but this song "Drunken Concubine" further breaks the constraints of lyrics and music, and sings the most affectionate and deepest love with the most straightforward words and the most beautiful melody.

With the step-by-step development of the plot, after the imperial concubine was drunk, Yuyang Diandong, Ma Huaipo, and overseas Penglai met each other, and the love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei was shown scene by scene

"I would like to be a lovebird in the sky, and a branch in the earth. The sky will last forever, and this hatred will last forever."

With the end of Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret, the Penglai meeting between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei ended, Li Shishi flew up like a fairy under the pull of the rope, and the actor who played Tang Xuanzong wanted to chase him, but only a trace of the green water chestnut broke and fell, leaving him in vain. One of them repented on the ground.

Until the curtain fell, the audience was silent, and everyone was shocked by the opera.

It wasn't until Li Shishi brought a group of actors to the curtain call that there was deafening cheers in the entire Cuju field, among which Zhao Ji's voice was the loudest.

..............................

"Success."

Li Qingzhao said excitedly when he saw the reaction of the literati.

Fan Zhengzheng nodded his head. Today's operas are not immature attempts just created. After his guidance, Li Qingzhao added some classic plots to the mature operas of later generations, and matched them with Bai Juyi's popular "Song of Everlasting Regret", and then used Her talent as the number one talented woman in the Song Dynasty, the opera "The Biography of Concubine Yang" was the pinnacle work once it appeared in the world.

"Create a faction!"

In the entire Cuju field, all the literati looked at Li Qingzhao in shock.

Everyone understands that once a opera is released, it will definitely be sought after by people all over the world. Even they can't help but be overwhelmed by the unique performance form, popular tunes, and touching love.

"Congratulations to everyone Li for founding a sect and establishing a school. Quju is bound to prosper."

Su Shi got up and said solemnly.

Not to mention that Li Qingzhao is a member of the Su Clan, and his concubine Wang Chaoyun also participated in it. As far as today's performance is concerned, the art of Quju has already conquered him.

Moreover, the situation of Quju is unprecedented, and it is indisputable that Li Qingzhao established a sect.

"Thank you, Madam Su for your affirmation."

Li Qingzhao said modestly.

"Congratulations, everyone!"

Zhang Yong also exclaimed.

Although the opera has only just appeared, even they are amazed by it, and it will definitely become popular in the Song Dynasty in time.

Following the praise of the two literary leaders, many literati also looked at Li Qingzhao with envy. Li Qingzhao was just a girl who became famous at a young age, overwhelming the younger generation in Kaifeng.

But now that he is only eighteen, there are rumors that his talents are exhausted, but in the blink of an eye, he actually founded a sect, created a line of opera, and became a master of a generation, how can we not make them jealous.

While many literati were admiring, Cheng Yi, who was a Neo Confucianist, poured cold water on everyone.

"Although it is true that the Li talented woman founded a sect, it is just that such a vulgar sect is difficult to enter the elegant hall. It is probably whimsical to want to be listed alongside Tang poetry and Song poetry."

As soon as Cheng Hao said this, the scene immediately became tense.

Li Qingzhao's face was embarrassed immediately, she didn't expect Cheng Hao to be so rigid and dismissive of Quju.

Fan Zheng stood aside and stepped forward: "During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Ci was called Poetry in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also difficult to enter the elegant hall, but now Song Ci has reached its peak, and now when Quju is released, it is also denounced as difficult. The Hall of Elegance, this scene has never met before."

Many literati nodded slightly. Ci was also questioned when Tang poetry was popular, which is exactly the same as the situation of Quju now.

"Although the lyrics are not as strict as poetry, they still follow mediocrity, and the lyrics of Quju also follow mediocrity, especially the part where the imperial concubine is drunk. Not only are the lyrics vulgar, but there is no mediocrity at all. " Cheng Hao scolded angrily.

Literati advocating Neo-Confucianism nodded their heads. Although Quju is wonderful, it is extremely awkward to the ears of literati who are proficient in mediocrity. It is far from the contrast with poetry that strictly abides by mediocrity. This is also a point of criticism.

Su Shi and Zhang Yong couldn't help sighing. Although they admired Quju very much, they had to admit that what Cheng Hao said was true. Quju only rhymed the last word, and its literary achievements were indeed far inferior to Tang poetry and Song Ci.

Fan Zheng said with a sneer: "Perfection is a kind of restriction. It is precisely because Tang poetry pays too much attention to rhythm that it will gradually decline, and Song poetry will rise, and the rhythm will be further relaxed. In the same way, Quju will further liberalize the rhythm. Will be great."

Confucianism is silent, and they want to refute, but they understand that what Fan Zheng said hits the weakness of Song Ci. After all, Song Ci has achieved great achievements by breaking the restrictions of Tang poetry's rhythm, and they have no right to blame themselves for Quju.

And the sudden appearance of a opera that broke the restrictions of Song Ci's rhythm suddenly caused the literary world to be excluded.

"It's nonsense! You really think that the Song Dynasty literary world can accommodate such vulgar operas." Cheng Hao said proudly.

Now that Song Ci is at its peak, Quju is completely at a disadvantage artistically. Some people may recognize the establishment of a school, but the third-generation literary genre may not be recognized by the literary world.

But Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Whether the literary world admits it or not has no effect on Quju, because the biggest audience of Quju is not literati, but [-]% of the people in the world who are illiterate. As soon as Quju comes out, literature and beautiful melody will be directly conveyed to their ears, and then Quju will have the support of [-]% of the people in the world, and it will surely become the mainstream of culture.”

Cheng Hao was struck by lightning immediately, he naturally knew what Fan Zheng said was true,

As people in the literary world, they naturally understand that the literary style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, and the literacy rate was only [-]%, while [-]% of the people in the world were blank markets.

Not to mention that Quju can kill all literati and common people, and the audience alone is enough to surpass Tang poetry and Song Ci.

"Li Qingzhao, you are a master of poetry, and now you have created such a vulgar opera. In the future, everyone will follow suit. You will be the biggest sinner of Song Ci." Cheng Hao angrily angrily yelled at Li Qingzhao.

"Great vulgarity is elegance! For a long time, Tang Poetry and Song Ci were just a game among a small number of literati, and ordinary people could not participate at all. Now that operas are released, poems and songs will be widely handed down. This is why Li created Quju real purpose."

Li Qingzhao said proudly.
