Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

One lunch, all the guests, including Li Er, naturally enjoyed it. Needless to say, the cuisine of Li Residence is well known as Ch_ng’n.

The only thing that made Li Wangyou upset was the old gangsters Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, the old fogey. They drank too much and were almost ready to go drunk and demolish his theater. Up.

Even Li Wangyou was caught by these stinky old men and poured a few glasses of wine, making his face red.

If it weren’t for him to run fast, it is estimated that the opening of the Great Tang Theater today would have to be disturbed by these old folks.

After lunch, Li Wangyou hurriedly asked the servant girls to bring sober soup to the guests. After a break, he was ready to enter the main topic of today’s opening and watch the performance in the theater.

In order to build this theater, Li Wangyou has put in a lot of work, not to mention, the huge circular ceiling alone makes the craftsmen who have never built such a building a headache. .

The theater is capable of accommodating three hundred people. The stage is about two meters high and all made of wood and stone. It’s empty below the stage, you can hide various props and actors.

The curtain set behind the stage can be moved and can change with different plots.

The biggest headache for Li Wangyou is the two problems of sound amplification and lighting.

After several discussions with the beauty boss, in addition to using the semi-circle theater to gather the sound, the craftsman was also ordered to hand-made many loudspeakers out of copper.

This kind of copper loudspeaker is actually the same as the Chinese bell. The hollow metal material is used to resonate and play the role of Amplification volume.

Li Wangyou confirmed after the experiment that even if he was sitting in the last row of the theater, he could clearly hear the music and dialogue on the stage, which was satisfactory. However, this is also the reason why the theater can only accommodate 300 people. No matter how big the theater is, the sound effect cannot be guaranteed.

As for the stage lighting, because there is no light bulb, Li Wangyou can only be simple, and ordered the craftsman to create a concave copper mirror silver-plated, with a large oil lamp in the middle.

This is basically a copy of the so-called story of Edison reflecting the candle rays of light in a mirror to illuminate the doctor and perform surgery for the mother.

Although this story about Edison is false, it does not affect Li Wangyou’s use of the condensing light of the concave mirror to illuminate the stage. This simple set of lighting settings has a good effect. The feature of the concave lens condensing light can actually project a similar effect to the spotlight of later generations on the stage.

Even Li Wangyou used his Gunpowder to design a lot of firework special effects for the stage.

Li Wangyou is convinced that today’s performance will definitely shock the Great Tang “terrapin” like Li Er and others.

The seats in the theater are all made by Li Wangyou according to the seats in the cinema of later generations. The difference is that each seat is very large and soft, and has large armrests, making it very comfortable to sit on. Between every two seats, there is also a coffee table for placing tea and snacks.

The target customers Li Wangyou intends to target are all the nobles in Chang’an City. To take out money from these people’s pockets, it is natural to give them the best enjoyment.

The actors in the theater are all Li Wangyou, who spent a lot of money and spent a long time on Li Er. The Entertainer bought from Taichang Temple was given to Venus for training for a month or so.

Fortunately, these Entertainers were originally trained in Taichang Temple. Although the rehearsal time is short, Li Wangyou is very satisfied after watching their show.

He didn’t want to think that these Entertainers were all cultivated by Taichang Temple with great effort, but Li Wangyou almost gave them a brainstorm.

For this, Taichang Temple Temple Qing did not go to Li Er’s place to cry.

There are no male actors in the theater because Li Wangyou doesn’t want to cause trouble.

After all, on stage plays, it is inevitable to stage some stories about the love of men and women. If you let the actors and actresses perform on stage, Li Wangyou is afraid that he will be sprayed to death by those pedantic people.

In this way, Li Wangyou would rather let the women play the male role instead of making troubles. It’s nothing at worst, he doesn’t want to watch the big Lords perform on stage anyway.

In the orchestra in front of the stage, dozens of musicians are busy adjusting their instruments.

In the era without tape recorders, the dubbing required for performances requires these musicians to perform live.

And these musicians, needless to say, naturally Li Wangyou came back from the Taichang Temple “robbing”.

Thinking about it this way, before he complained about Li Er’s “robbing” of his pool table, he didn’t seem to have said his position.

A group of big guests, led by the servant girl serving in the theater, entered the theater and took their seats.

Immediately another servant girl brought them tea, water, snacks, and fruits, which were placed on the coffee table between the seats.

Most of the guests, after entering the theater, looked very curious, looking around like a rare treasure.

Even the large seats under the buttocks, these nobles in Chang’an City are also novel. They keep getting up and then sitting down. They are full of “earth turtles”, and they are with the grandmother Liu who first entered the Grand View Garden. , It’s no different.

As for Li Er and Cheng Yaojin’s old fogey, they didn’t show their timidity in full view, because they all have dedicated boxes.

Li Wangyou is modeled on the design of later generations of European theaters. On the second floor of the theater a week, there are various boxes for the convenience of Li Er and the princes of Prince of County and the grand princes. play.

In each box, there is also a specially selected beautiful servant girl to serve, which can be described as luxurious as in the bones.

After Li Er followed Li Wangyou into the box, he looked around and was very satisfied. Then he walked forward to the fence, looked down, and looked at the stage with a thick curtain. Finally I couldnt help but curiously asked: “Ziyou, what kind of performance do you mean? But there is an Entertainer performing dances?”

He would guess like this, naturally because Li Wangyou went from Taichang Temple, Take away the reason for that many Entertainer.

Li Wangyou did not explain, but chuckled and said: “Uncle, you will know when you see it, my nephew can only guarantee that you and your aunt will definitely make a worthwhile trip.”

Empress Zhangsun glared at him: “hmph, if it is boring, you should be careful with This Palace Host to find Changqing to settle the account.”

Li Wangyou is speechless, this Empress Zhangsun is a mother in front of others How could Yi Tianxia be so stingy to yourself?

In fact, he also knew that Empress Zhangsun would treat him this way, because he did not treat him as an outsider.

Everyone had some gossip and it was time for the show to begin.

Immediately, servants from the theater filed in and turned off the oil lamps used to illuminate the theater. Soon the whole theater fell into darkness, which attracted people who had never seen a performance. The guests couldn’t help making noises, not understanding what happened.

In the orchestra pool, the sound of music sounded, and this allowed the noise in the theater below to slowly calm down.

On the stage, the curtain is also slowly opened…
