The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Kong Ji created a form, collected a lot of music and stories, so that they can be randomly combined together, in exchange for new vitality.

And Yun Yan's idea of ​​returning gave endless possibilities and development of this kind of tune.

Kong Ji came up with the form of acting in opera to make Zhugong Tune appear in the world.

Yun Yanhui's proposal of absorbing role-playing and adding more stage actions from Zaju has made Zhugong Tune a big step forward. The biggest difference in Zaju.

——The biggest difference between Yuan Zaju and Zhugong Tune is that it is not that the Yuan Zaju is a stage where you can sing, read, and play well in different roles, while Zhugong Tune is a person who sings from beginning to end.

In contrast, of course, the former is more able to attract the audience and let them enter the story.

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

Zhang Shanren is the same.

Based on their understanding of the art of the city, they immediately recognized that there is much to be done.

Kong Ji was very excited. He could feel that he would converge to create a new kind of top art.

Yun Yan said to Kong Ji: "Sir, just take care of your creation. I will rent a yard for you alone and hire some people to rehearse for you. If you become successful, you will become famous overnight."

Kong Ji didn't expect Yun Yanhui to still support him. This really confirmed his status as a "hit nobleman". He was so excited that he could not hold on to himself. He held Yun Yanhui's hand and said movedly: "Great, no thanks for the great kindness." , Kong Mou will follow orders in the future..."

"You don't need to be polite, Man Bian Kyoto knows, I'm an enthusiastic person." Yun Yan said playfully, "As long as you promise, you will deliver the most perfect performance."

Zhang Shanren laughed, but Kong Ji couldn't laugh because he was too excited. His fingers kept flicking, and he kept imagining in his mind what it would be like when Zhugong Tune was performed in a miscellaneous way.

"How dare Kong live up to Mr.'s expectations!" Kong Ji also made up his mind to produce one of the best works.

"This matter still needs to be kept secret, it will be shocking at that time." Yun Yan looked back and thought about it, then said, "Mr. Kong, half a year, half a year, I hope you can finish a play. In this way, you can catch up. It is by far the largest and most influential stage in Bianjing, and it will be the highlight."

Yun Yan replied that the biggest and most influential one must be the biggest and most influential.

Once Zhang Shanren calculated this time in his heart, he immediately understood, and gave Kong Ji a meaningful look, "You must not let go of this opportunity, there are countless people in Bianjing who will go crazy for getting on that platform. ."

Kong Ji came from a foreign city and was inquiring about things in the industry all day. Naturally, he didn't know that the people in Bianjing were counting the days when Puguanze was finished. Those who want 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... all are waiting for this place to open!

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

At that time, Puguanze will hold a grand opening ceremony of the tourism festival, and introduce it to people in Bianjing and even Kaifeng.

And the opening ceremony has been confirmed. Officials will attend, and all surnames will have fun. Therefore, it really can be called the largest and most influential stage.

Zhang Shanren gave Kong Ji an implicit introduction.

Knowing Yun Yan's ability to return, Kong Ji's heart could not help but jump.

Kong Ji had seen it in the Goulan washhouse since he was a child. In all the washhouses, there will be a vacant place in the middle of it, to leave it for the emperor-of course, the official family will definitely not go to such a place.

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

These folk artists are very much looking forward to receiving the emperor's favor. The Jiaofang sometimes hires people to enter the palace to perform. If they can perform in front of the official, they can add the word "Prince" in front of their title. , The value is also different from the past. Such a stage is the highest and most compelling.

If there is a performance on the opening ceremony day, it will have both. The significance can be imagined-let alone the highlight!

Kong Ji was originally a local artist from Yang'a. Now that he was told after he entered Beijing that he could perform at the Imperial Front, he really only had four words in his heart at this moment.

Kong Ji couldn't help but pay tribute to Xie Yunyan again, and said that he would work hard to live up to Yunyanhui's cultivation and Zhangshan people's help.

Kong Ji believed in Yun Yanhui that Yun Yanhui had a very good insight on this, and he wanted to talk about it in depth.

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

For example, Kong Ji asked about dressing.

The various miscellaneous dramas that I see today are mostly comics. The actors are dressed in fancy and bright colors, and they can paint their faces. However, the faces are painted white or black, just to amuse people.

Kong Ji asked: "When you play and sing, you only need to pay attention to the emotions in the lyrics. If you add a miscellaneous figure to acting, don't you have to pay attention to the performance together? That's it, there are only so many seats under the stage , The people behind looked over, and they only had one figure."

"Therefore, we should also appropriately learn from the dressing of miscellaneous dramas, wear exaggeratedly, and exaggerate the painted face, to show the facial features, and the performer's expression is bigger, it is almost the same." Yun Yanhui suggested based on the experience of later generations. "But don't paint it ugly like a funny show. If you are acting in love, the characters will naturally dress up beautifully."

Kong Ji nodded in agreement, remembering something, and said: "Oh, today, Mr. Fang Meng gave me a name, and I called the performance of the various palaces called Tanci, but after calling it a few times, I will put it aside. If I join the miscellaneous show How can it be called Tanci again?"

"Naturally it's still called a play, the play that Quzi played." Yun Yan went back and went on, "You can choose another one."

Kong Ji stared at Yun Yan and looked back, and he wanted to commemorate Yun Yanhui in his name.

Yun Yan knew his expression when he looked back, and quickly stopped and said, "You are from Zezhou, and this play has been 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 adventure in Bianjing within a short period of time, and smiled, "It's still called Bian Opera."

Moreover, this will also make it easier to be accepted by the people of Bianjing.

"Bian Opera, um, Bian Opera is good." Yun Yan liked Bianjing back, and was full of expectations for the 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 blossomed. What kind of sparks will it strike with this era, and what stories will it derive?

At this time, there were vocalists who were not inferior to the Yuan dynasty theater, and there were even more talented people who left countless famous stories!

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

Yun Yanhui felt very honored to be able to personally witness this period of history.

Having said that, Kunqu Opera was once known as the "ancestor of a hundred operas", but it should still be born now, but this name is probably going to be given to the rapidly evolving Tanci-Bian Opera.

...

Yun Yan did what he said, and he rented a yard for Kong Ji to live with his disciples, and then paid for Kong Ji to hire some new people. If it is to rehearse a new play, then his three disciples will definitely not be enough for the whole play.

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

It was Kong Ji who almost wanted Yun Yan to come back to be the class leader—this was all raised by Yun Yan. He was not embarrassed to be the class leader. This should have been his task.

Yun Yan replied, I am not the class leader, I am the sponsor.

This is really what Yun Yan said. Since he got the Confucian class up, even if Yun Yanhui is busy with Kaifeng Mansion and Puguanze, he still has to go to the yard to have a look at each other and Kong Ji. Meet up and see his progress.

Whenever Kong Ji felt he was in doubt, he would also write it down, and then after Yun Yan came back, he would ask his opinion.

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

However, Yun Yanhui knew that Shen Kuo had also dabbled in music and opera, so he pulled him into the water and asked him to make some comments.

In addition to discussing with Shen Kuo and Yun Yan, Kong Ji will go to the book club to communicate with his colleagues in Bianjing, or to see if there are any strengths that can be absorbed by each performance.

In this way, even though he did not perform the show, his reputation spread. Because he knew ancient books, was good at arithmetic, and knew yin and yang, he was given the nickname "Kong San Chuan."

When it came to Kong Ji, Yun Yanhui tried to recall that it seemed that the inventor of Zhugong Tune was Kong San Chuan, but Kong San Chuan was not his real name, so he didn't expect it at first.

You know, Kong Sanchuan is also the only folk artist in Bianjing of this era who can rival Zhang Shanren's status.

For a moment, Yun Yanhui felt even more successful in his investment-in modern times, are these all artists alright?

...

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu mentioned it once about investing in an opera team. Zhao Yunchu knew that Yun Yanhui often did such things, so he didn't care.

Until it began to go viral in the circle of friends, Yun Yan returned to raise people outside...

It's called a vivid and colorful one!

Who said Yun Yanhui was working in Kaifeng Mansion? When someone was patrolling, they saw him coming in and out of the yard, and all the sounds of singing came from inside. When I asked about it, this yard was also under the name of Brother Yan. .

Now, I have everything to say.

The most exaggerated one is that Yun Yanhui often went to Zhao Yunchu's mansion to play, but Zhao Yunchu's brother Zhao Yunliang was taken upside down by the one who watched the opera and listened to music day and night, so he also raised a class of actresses.

Didn’t Shui Jing Ji make a lot of money? I heard that they all fell on that group of people. There are also men and women, old and young, and they don’t have to go out to perform all day long, but only serve the good Yan Geer...

Everyone talked a lot, saying that Yan Ge'er usually cleans himself up, seems to be the same as his style, either don't play, play a big one.

Knowing that Zhao Yunchu and Yun Yanhui were close, when Zhao Yunchu went to Kaifeng Mansion that day, someone advised him to come.

"Little prince, you are growing up with Ge Yan. Now he is sensual and obsessed with beauty. Wouldn't you persuade you more?" The lobbyist was quite bitter. What should I do if the little fairy from the state is hollowed out?"

Zhao Yunchu thought, is the little fairy from Zezhou talking about Kong Ji? Although I haven't seen it before, I heard that Ge Yan had a very rough life. When he was writing the book, he bit the pen and it was not the type that Ge Yan liked, besides...

Zhao Yunchu touched his face sadly: "Ah, if Yan Geer really knows to be addicted to beauty..."

Lobbyist: "???"
