Chapter 139 The spread of public opinion on the new drama
Fan Jin went crazy and fell awkwardly into the "mud" set up in advance on the stage. After getting up, he still kept muttering to himself that he had been hit.
The people couldn't help laughing when they saw this funny scene, and many of the scholars present looked a bit ugly.
This image of Fan Jin is a bit too insulting to scholars.
Absolutely devoid of manners, stupid, poor and ignorant, resigned, full of sourness...all kinds of conditions.
However, there are also many scholars who remember their own experiences of failing in trials and resisted wiping tears with their sleeves.
Isn’t the mentality of the people on stage a true reflection of myself?
If he wins the imperial examination one day, I'm afraid he may not be much better than Fan Jin.
I just didn't expect it to look so ugly from a bystander's perspective...it's really shameful.
Of course, the people were also thoughtful, and the behavior of Butcher Hu and other extras in following the crowd also made some people feel a little uncomfortable.
If everyone is like this, why should I lick it? Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing?
After the scene where Butcher Hu slapped Fan Jin awake, the people's emotions were pushed to the highest climax.
They all looked at the nearby scholars in Confucian uniforms with profound eyes...
The so-called "Master of Juren" is nothing more than this...just like that!
Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao walked among the crowd, observing everyone's reactions, and couldn't help but feel very satisfied.
It is indeed an excellent text that emerged from the great waves of history.
Even in another world, the brilliance cannot be concealed!
At the end, Fan Jin was still at the peak of his life, surrounded by his lovely wife and concubines, not to mention money and food... he was living a happy life.
The actors slowly left the stage amid joy.
The audience seemed a little quiet, and many people were still sipping the food.
The performance of this play... Although there is no intense action or ups and downs, it is inexplicably uncomfortable to watch.
Some readers who couldn't bear it had already covered their faces and left the scene.
It took a long time for the people to get the taste... No, are you here to watch the exciting show today?
What about ethics? What about the abandoned son-in-law? There is a sense of immersion in this drama, but it is not exciting enough! We want to be happy!
Some people felt that they had been cheated and couldn't help shouting: "RNM, refund your money!"
"Stop howling! Get your money back for free! Add more scenes! We want to add more scenes!"
When the host saw that the situation was about to get out of control again, he hurriedly jumped on the stage.
He said loudly: "Don't be anxious, everyone! Don't be anxious, everyone! The good show is yet to come! I'm going to invite Taoyuan County to write a new science drama, and the three halls will interrogate Galileo!"
Deng Deng Deng Deng, a new batch of actors began to appear.
The narrator began to read: "Galileo, a drunkard and a maniac, did not believe in God but in science. At the age of twenty-eight, Maria threw hydrangeas at the Leaning Tower of Pisa..."
Soon the people were immersed in a new round of drama...
In the next few days, Fang Zhengyi wrote two more scripts, Du Shiniang Sinking the Treasure Chest in Anger, and Kong Yiji.
The most popular one is Du Shiniang. After all, the actors are all good-looking. In the other two dramas, the leading actors chosen by Fang Zheng for the ultimate satirical effect all have distorted looks.
The three dramas began to be broadcast in Mid-Levels Square in turn. More and more people from other places came to watch the drama, and public opinion spread unknowingly.
............
Dengjinfang, inside Xuanming Pavilion.
Scholars in groups of three or three were drinking tea in the pavilion, reading poems and writing lyrics, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
There were a few scattered people passing by, peering into the pavilion from a distance.
The young man dressed in brocade looked at the people passing by and said to another scholar beside him: "Brother Shen, have you noticed that the people seem to have changed recently."
"Originally, they all took a detour and stayed far away from us. Now people often look towards us, and some even dare to look directly at us! Look, there is someone watching over there!"
Shen Yi didn't even raise his head, looking at the book in his hand: "Brother Su, don't you know? There was a new play in the city recently, and many people went to see it. It was specifically designed to satirize scholars."
"I think many people in Dengjinfang have seen it in the past few days, so we are not so afraid of it."
Su Rongxuan frowned and said: "Is this happening? I've never heard of it, but these people are so unruly... How dare they look directly at us, I wonder what was going on in that drama?"
"It's not that big of a deal. It's about a scholar who passed the exam and went from being in a low position to being popular among the people." Shen Yi closed the book and sighed: "It's ironic and powerful! I was very moved after reading it, and there are many in our workshop. Scholars all went to Banshanfang to watch this play. I heard that there is also a reading corner and a theater criticism corner there..."
"I'm not afraid of Brother Su's jokes. I also came from a poor family. I took the exam twice before passing the exam. If I were like the guy in the play who failed in repeated exams, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much better than him."
Su Rongxuan flicked open his fan and said with a smile while fanning: "Brother Shen, why do you have to belittle yourself? How can the things in the play be taken seriously? What's more, haven't you passed the exam now?"
Shen Yi sighed again: "I did pass the exam, but after watching the play, I realized why I was studying in the first place. Now we recite poems and write poems during the day, and exchange cups with Master Yan at night. It seems that we have done nothing... He is no different from the people in the play."
"We scholars should plead for the people and put our actions into practice. Talking empty words every day is really..."
Su Rongxuan sneered and said: "Okay, why are you thinking so much? If you don't drink and have fun with Master Yan, is it possible to hang out with those mud-legged people below?"
"Brother Shen, this is officialdom. These are the connections that will lead to the court in the future! How precious are these opportunities? Why don't you cherish them!"
"In the future, with the light of Master Yan, wouldn't it be beautiful to have power and beauty in my arms?"
"Who didn't have great ideals when they were young? Who didn't say those heroic words? They were just jokes. It would be too naive to take those words seriously now. Now you have matured!"
"This is called maturity? Then what is tact?"
"You..." Su Rongxuan was speechless for a moment, staring and pointing the fan at Shen Yi.
This guy was fine two days ago, how come he turned into a jerk after watching the show?
"That's all! Brother Su, you guys talk about it first. I'm going to Banshanfang. I heard there will be another show tonight. I'll go take a look. There are some issues I haven't figured out yet."
After saying that, Shen Yi rolled up his book and left directly from the pavilion.
When the others saw him leaving, they came to Su Rongxuan and smiled: "If you don't agree with each other, you can't agree with each other. What can you tell him? Mudlegs' background is like this. Even a crow flying on a branch cannot change into a phoenix."
Su Rongxuan burst into laughter: "It makes sense! It's true that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. We don't need to care about him. What future can such people have? Come on, come on, Brother Zhang, let me take a look at your new work..."
