Chapter 386 Chapter 386(1/2)
The show this night was truly exciting, with all the famous actors from all three disciplines in the capital being invited.
Some of these celebrities came here for Brother Wen's sake, some came from Zhang Ling and others to set up connections, and some even took advantage of the reputation of Zhang Lun, the eldest grandson of the British Duke. In the past six months, the members of Xinshe have shown their talents.
Together we organized this massive publicity event.
The last performance of "Flying in the Sky" was even more elaborate, from obeying the Tao to the stage setting. Artificially increased wind, smoke, light and shadow were used throughout the entire process to create the effect that the people on the stage seemed to be flying in the air.
Everyone was shocked by this dream-like picture, and felt as if a flying immortal had really come to the world.
Otherwise, why would the stage look as ethereal as a fairyland?
Is this really a miracle they can see without spending any money?
The people in the capital who could only gather around and stand to watch the performance were in a daze. Could it be that the little prodigy was of course a boy under the Bodhisattva throne, and he specially brought Feixian down to accompany them to celebrate the Lantern Festival!
God knows they almost knelt on the ground when they saw the fairies coming out.
Not only the people around them kept exclaiming all the way, but even Xie Qian and the others felt that they had seen such a rich and diverse performance for the first time.
A program like that one where two storytellers go back and forth on the stage and talk about each other is very interesting to listen to. The words used seem to be all slang and common sayings, but upon closer inspection, I find that they are actually very particular about it. There are many funny words in it.
It is so catchy that even a three-year-old can learn to speak a few sentences after listening to it.
As one performance after another filled with Dunhuang style was finally pushed to the climax by the final "Flying Sky", even Xie Qian and the others had an idea that they had never had before: they really wanted to visit Dunhuang.
…
After thinking about it, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang looked at each other and realized that Brother Wen was really good at propaganda.
Through the rounds of publicity before and after, the two most popular words in the capital this year are probably "Hexi Corridor" and "Dunhuang".
Maybe there will be "Flying Sky" after tonight.
At the end of "Flying", someone set off fireworks placed at a designated location. The sound of the fireworks exploding in the night sky attracted everyone's attention. The performers and other personnel on and off the stage took advantage of this.
Opportunities disappear quickly.
When everyone came back to their senses, the stage was already empty, and the wind, smoke and beauty just seemed to be just an unattainable dream.
Still unfinished!
For the people in the capital, the ten-day celebration of the Lantern Festival has just begun. The previous performances will be performed in the next nine days, but "Flying Sky" will be performed again only on the Lantern Festival and the last day of the long holiday. Those who have money and leisure today
You can start booking tickets for the next nine days at night. If you really don’t have money, you can stand outside and watch like tonight. There is no standing ticket fee for the nine performances!
These ticket prices are divided between participants and performers. You can't let people perform for free every day!
Brother Wen, a court official, did not participate in this kind of profit sharing.
If he dares to take even a penny, the censor should probably scold him again!
The Metropolitan Procuratorate loved him so much that there was nothing he could do.
The nine-day in-field tickets were almost sold out on the same day, and even the seven days when there was no "Flying" to watch were all sold out. Although almost everyone in attendance watched the entire show in one instant, there was so much freshness and beauty to watch.
How is it enough to watch a program just once?
Moreover, some of their relatives and friends could not come, so how could they not book a show for their relatives and friends?
After everyone left, Zhou Jing stayed and watched the ticket booking scene for a while. What he felt in his heart was this: Money is so easy to grab, oh no, so profitable.
These guys in the capital really have some spare money.
, it just depends on whether you have the ability to make them willing to spend their money!
Brother Wen is very good at picking other people's money out of their pockets, and he doesn't do anything the same all year round.
Just his building block puzzle and the new Dunhuang set this year have brought in another wave of success.
Several years have passed, and many of the young men who grew up playing building blocks and puzzles have married and had children. It’s time to buy toddler building block sets and toddler puzzle sets for their children...
Is it a waste of money to buy things for children?
It’s definitely not their intention to win this year’s Dunhuang lucky bag.
That’s a lucky bag that you can draw for free if you spend enough money!
Zhou Jing pondered the details and came to a conclusion that has become well-known in later generations: free is the most expensive.
You originally didn’t want to spend so much money, but when you saw that you could get a Dunhuang-themed lucky bag for free, you immediately found a way to spend more than you originally planned!
Smoking undesirable babes?
You can spend more money!
Once you get started with this thing, the money you spend is much more than buying a single Dunhuang-themed building block accessory in a lucky bag...
By the time you think about it, your wallet may have been empty!
Thinking about the fact that many of his juniors like to play with building blocks, Zhou Jing couldn't help but wonder if his annual salary was taken away by Brother Wen.
How terrible!
Zhou Jing couldn't help but wonder whether he should go against the ancestral rules and poach Brother Wen to the Ministry of Household Affairs. This kind of good brain that can easily get the money from other people's pockets into his own pocket is very needed in their household department!
Wang Xiaozhuangxuan was born in the capital and grew up in the capital. How can he be considered a native of the capital? How can he be said to be from Zhejiang!
It's a pity that this guy is Xie Qian's favorite son-in-law, so Xie Qian definitely can't let him go to the Ministry of Household Affairs at the risk of being impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhou Jing could only leave with a melancholy look on his face.
The first official performance of the Lantern Festival Art Performance has ended, but the discussion about the Hexi Corridor has not dropped at all. Related topics are being discussed in almost every street and alley in the capital.
Those who had just arrived in Beijing and could not catch up to see the scene felt very regretful and made plans to go see it together on the first night.
There are also people asking for infield tickets at high prices.
Tang Yin and his new friend Xu Jing arrived in the capital at this time.
Xu Jing passed the examination a few years earlier than Tang Yin, but he failed the exam last time, so this time it was a first-class examination.
Tang Yin took the initiative to make friends with Tang Yin when he was in Nanjing Jieyuan High School. The process of their relationship can be briefly summarized as "You and I have no relationship at all, and we all rely on me to spend money."
Tang Yin likes this flower very much
He doesn't blink an eye at money and loves to brag about his new friends.
The two of them rushed to the capital with great success.
After arriving in the capital, Tang Yin did not rent a house in his old place, Daxinglong Temple. Instead, he lived in a large courtyard rented by Xu Jing alone. He was attended by maids and slaves when he came in and out.
Hearing about such lively things, Xu Jing was also quite curious. He had many outstanding children who were good at singing, all of them had red lips and white teeth, and were best at making people laugh and relieve their boredom. However, domestic flowers are not as good as wild ones.
The fragrance of flowers and the bustle are always beautiful outside!
Xu Jing planned to send someone to get two infield tickets for the Lantern Festival day.
It doesn't matter if he has money or not, he just wants to sit in the best seat!
When Tang Yin heard someone say that this performance was created by Brother Wen and the others, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to meet some friends. Maybe you can get some tickets after the meeting."
Xu Jing spent so much money to befriend Tang Yin, firstly because he valued Tang Yin's identity as the leader of Nanjing, and secondly because he wanted to gain access to Tang Yin's network.
Hearing Tang Yin say that he would take him to meet his friends, Xu Jing was so excited that he wished he could immediately follow Tang Yin to visit him one by one, carrying gifts.
He hurriedly asked Tang Yin which friend he was visiting and what the other person's preferences were. He was as interested as when his prospective son-in-law came to visit him for the first time.
Tang Yin said: "We are all friends of the same generation, we don't care about these things."
Xu Jingben was a little disappointed, but when he heard that Tang Yin said it was the famous little prodigy, he immediately became interested. He said: "You still have to pay attention to what you should pay attention to. This little prodigy is famous. You and Qian often talk to me."
Mention him."
What he and Qian were talking about was Qian Fu going back to Songjiang Mansion to live a happy life.
As the only poor person in the family who only had money, Xu Jing started to spend money like crazy towards Qian Fu, a talented and relatively approachable champion (after all, Qian Fu needed money to buy wine). He usually had to go to build every building in his family.
Ask Qianfu to write an article to brag about it (the kind of article that pays very generous editing fees).
After years of unremitting efforts to send money to Qian Fu, he finally found a place in Qian Fu's circle of friends.
What Xu Jing said "he often mentioned with Qian" was just an accidental mention by Qian Fu. He wrote down this little prodigy and actively learned more about it!
Tang Yin said: "Then just buy him some food. He doesn't care about anything else. It's just a bite to eat."
Xu Jing immediately asked people to prepare carefully, and finally asked people to carry large and small bags of rare ingredients and follow Tang Yin to the Wang family to visit Brother Wen.
There was a ten-day Lantern Festival holiday, and Brother Wen happened to be playing with his younger brothers and sisters at home, and by the way, he gave guidance to Li Yao's theoretical courses. Hearing that Tang Yin had brought his friends over, he was slightly surprised, and sent his younger brothers and sisters away to greet the old man whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
friend.
Seeing Xu Jing, a wealthy young man who looked pampered at first sight, Brother Wen was stunned for a moment. He looked at the group of servants following Tang Yin and immediately remembered -
Tang Bohu’s imperial examination fraud case!
It is said that Tang Yin was very close to a man who was spreading money around. The two of them were very popular in the capital, but in the end they were beaten as if they were the outstanding ones.
Tang Yin's rise from great glory to a lifetime of poverty began with this imperial examination fraud case!
Brother Wen's face suddenly became serious as he looked at the large and small bags carried by the servants.
He is now considered a Hanlin official. Will he be invited to take the imperial examination this year to become a senior official or something like that?
When his father was a Hanlin editor, he was often assigned to do odd jobs in the Imperial Examination Hall. He and his brother both went there to gain experience!
