As soon as "Jinling Dream" came out, the whole city urged to update it.
Xu Xun said this jokingly in front of Tang Yin, and it was extremely appropriate.
After Emperor Hongzhi was buried in Tailing on October 17, "A Dream of Jinling" has reached its third stage. Compared with the previous plays, he and Tang Yin discussed and finalized the version of "A Dream of Jinling" over and over again. Whether it's the beginning or the climax, they all follow the formula of later serial novels, which focus on leaving suspense at every turn, and there are climaxes everywhere. In addition, Tang Yin, the most talented person in Suzhou, has a reputation that is not built up, so he has to be careful. It was extremely accurate, because it was folded every five days, and the rehearsal time was very tight. The first two folds of manuscripts were all used up in a short time, but it still caused a huge sensation. Later, the great talent Tang Bohu suffered. , I had to stay behind closed doors to catch up on the update. If no one knew where the great talent of the Tang Dynasty lived, I was afraid someone would come to Xing'an Bo Mansion to rush for the show.
There are not many entertainment activities for ordinary people these days. Although there are many novel and interesting stories in the novels in the market, you have to be literate to understand them. Although the storytellers in restaurants and teahouses are also good, these The stories are either from the ancients hundreds of years ago, or are some fictitious legends. How can this "Dream of Jinling" be so popular that it is based on the popular earl in today's reality? What everyone likes about it is that it is lively. , there is such gossip to watch now, not to mention the premiere of Xianyuan, several theaters in East City and West City will also be overcrowded for subsequent performances three days later.
Since the play is performed every five days, it is a new play that has never been seen before, and because it involves the nobles and nobles of the court, naturally countless people are itching to see the next episode. Even Zhu Houzhao had a good time after burying Emperor Hongzhi. After a while of being unhappy, he became interested, and Liu Jin took him out of the palace to visit the leisure garden. It was the first to ninth performances at that time, and he spent the whole morning and the whole afternoon there. Even lunch was a makeshift meal. When he learned that the next meal would have to wait for five days, he couldn't help it immediately, and went straight to Xing'an Bo Mansion after coming out of Xianyuan.
Liu Jin was a frequent visitor, and everyone at the Xing'an Bo Mansion was very familiar with him. The first concierge said with a smile, "Eunuch Liu is very rare these days," and then he recognized Zhu Houzhao, who opened his mouth He was so nervous for a while. After a while, he hurriedly turned around and welcomed the person in. Just as he was anxious to inform the master, he suddenly remembered that Xu Liang had gone to Jingying, and Xu Xunren was in Xiyuan Drill Mansion. In the vanguard of the army, there was no one in the house who could entertain the little emperor. He walked around in circles for a long time, and then rushed to find Jin Liu in frustration.
"This is not simple. The emperor probably knows that the old master and the young master are not here at home. Why don't you just ask the emperor and Eunuch Liu who they want to see?"
He said it simply, but for the first time he stood in front of the emperor to answer, Jin Liu was still full of trepidation. When he learned that the emperor wanted to see Shen Yue, his mouth was no wider than that of the concierge in front of him, but he did not dare to say this It was not etiquette, so he could only curse in his heart for a long time that he shouldn't have bothered to take care of this matter. If he asked the housekeeper Liu An to come forward, nothing would happen. In desperation, he had to go and ask Liu An first. He ordered the servants of the house not to wander around and asked his mother-in-law Jin Liusao to lead the way. When the little emperor entered the courtyard, he immediately stopped at the door of the courtyard, but the address that followed almost made his jaw drop.
"Sister Shen, what's the next discount from Jinling Dream? Bring it over and show it to Lian first!"
Shen Yue hadn't seen Zhu Houzhao for a long time, and now the little emperor was urging him to do this. She was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "How does the emperor know that this drama was created by Xu Xun?"
"Lian doesn't know about him yet? This isn't the first time he's done it. Besides, it's your story and the premiere is in Xianyuan. All other theaters will be at least three days later." If Lian doesn't know again, he'll be a fool. ?Lian is very anxious after seeing this ninth fold. I really don’t have the patience to wait any longer, so I came to you. That guy Xu Xun is a slippery boy. If you go to him, you might be distracted by his few words... Good sister, I guess. I beg you, let me see the ending first?”….
Facing Zhu Houzhao's beggarly look, Shen Yue couldn't help but feel helpless. Seeing that Liu Jin was just pretending to be confused, she had to sigh and said: "I really don't want to show it to the emperor... I tell the truth, this drama It was written by Tang Bohu and Mr. Tang that Xu Xun gave him the idea. What Xu Xun meant was that he didn’t know the effect of the previous part of the play without looking at people’s reactions, so he had to roll out each part to see how the public responded. , and then decide how to lay out the next discount, many details need to be fine-tuned. The discount has just been released today. Mr. Tang breathed a sigh of relief and went to a restaurant to get drunk. He will not write down the next discount until he comes back. .It takes at least two days to actually write it, and another three days to rehearse it and put it on stage, so it’s only 10% off every five days.”
"This, this, this... can you still do this?"
At this moment, even Liu Jin could barely stare out of his eyes, let alone Zhu Houzhao, who was full of shock. Some of the short stories in the market were also circulated in the form of manuscripts, but most of them were published after they were completed. It spreads around, and half-written stories are often circulated among relatives and friends, just to prevent booksellers from getting the manuscript early and letting people continue to add a messy ending. And for a play, it has to be rehearsed for a long time after it is written. How could there be such a hurry to put it on the stage? No wonder Liu Jin said that the characters would inevitably be stiff during the first performance, and it would be more enjoyable to watch consecutive performances. It turns out that this is the case!
"You guys...isn't this shocking!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao complain angrily, Shen Yue couldn't help but smile: "Since even the emperor's appetite has been whetted, it is obvious that his plan was not in vain. To turn me into the protagonist of people's discussions in the streets, I originally wanted to I’m looking to settle the score with him!”
"What's the matter? Lian also wants to be the protagonist in this drama. It's interesting to think about it!" Zhu Houzhao held up his chin with interest, and then said with bright eyes, "If this were in the drama, who would Lenovo take the lead in?" If you want to be an official, you will let him return to the official position; if you want to dismiss him, you will dismiss him from the official position; if you want to marry any woman, you will marry that woman..."
Before he could finish his words, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Yue's face struggling to hold back his laughter, while Liu Jin had already turned his back. Then he said in annoyance: "Just thinking about it... Look at this Jinling Dream" Xu Xun is so powerful inside. He can defeat Zhao Qin repeatedly with his bare hands, and he can also impress Fu Rong Xicai and Chen Lu... It's simply amazing...".
He tilted his head and racked his brains to think about the latter adjective for a long time, but he didn't think it was appropriate. At this time, Liu Jin had to cough dryly and said: "Your Majesty, why don't we go to Tang Bohu's study and have a look, maybe there will be some clues." ?”
Zhu Houzhao's confused thoughts were finally diverted by Liu Jin's words. Shen Yue thought about it and finally decided to accompany him. When they arrived at the Xikuoyuan where Tang Yin and Xu Jing lived, they heard that When Xu Jing heard the news, he was startled by the impatience of the little emperor. He was afraid that the Supreme Lord might find something he shouldn't find, so he had to help him find it. However, after searching Tang Yin's study, It turned out that the first few folds of the play script were complete, but there was not a single word in the back. Zhu Houzhao was disappointed, but Shen Yue had nothing to do.
In the evening, Xu Xun went to the restaurant to drink heavily and wrote a poem on the wall of the restaurant. Tang Yin came back and saw that the study seemed to have been looted. Xu Jingzheng and the little book boy Tang Yin were tidying up together. They looked at each other. If such a nasty guest came to the house without caring about the study, he would definitely be included in the list of people who would refuse to interact with him in the future. But if he was a young emperor, it would be different. What's more, he looked at that Just after the show was released, I couldn't wait to go back to the house to urge for updates. It spread like wildfire.
"Bohu, after the play is over, your reputation will be familiar even to a three-year-old kid in Beijing!"…
"As long as this is Mr. Xu's original story, if I polish it with more clever strokes, it will be an extraordinary show. It's just...".
After all, during the planning of this play, Tang Yin had been discussing with Xu Xun to build the framework. Compared with the exaggeration and drama of the previous dramas that were originally based on the skeleton drama, the previous twists and turns were plain and delicate, as if The protagonist is the boy next door, but he has a little more courage, strength and wisdom, so after a pause, he couldn't help but ask: "What Mr. Xu relayed, is it really what you were talking about back then?" What was your experience in Jinling?”
How is that possible! If he really drags Ruisheng into acting to fool Fu Rong, drags Wang Shikun into the trap, donates land to impress Wei Guogong, forces Zhao Qin to a corner, and builds momentum for the Imperial College... all these scenes are unfolding in front of people, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have to deal with him You can't attack in groups! He just went back and found the best reasons for the original scene and came up with some clever ideas. In this way, when these plots are deeply rooted in people's hearts, the true version will be known. , will also be overshadowed by the huge success of the drama, and at the same time it is the best way to promote himself!
"Things are like this, it's just a little different. After all, you should know that it's not easy to impress those people." Xu Xun liked Tang Yin's free and undisciplined temperament, and Tang Yin had made it clear that he would never try the imperial examination again in this life. Naturally, he can safely use people as his staff, so although he will not tell the truth, he does not mean to hide it all. "Compared to those elders with deep foundations in the court, my foundation is too weak. After these twelve twists, although it may not have much effect among scholars, it is also a different kind of foundation. For this, I can only take the wrong approach and sacrifice myself!"
Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh. It was getting late at this time, and the two of them had to hold a candle to continue their discussions. When Xu Xun finally yawned and stood up to leave, he suddenly thought of something and raised his hand again. He stood up on the table and watched Tang Yin say word by word: "Bohu, when it comes to the last fold, could you please add these few sentences...".
After repeating it word by word, when Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then praised a few words, Xu Xun couldn't help but put his hands behind his hands and said with confusion: "This is not written by me, it is a play written by a gentleman in the past. What I heard here is that the playbook was burned by him, and I'm afraid it will never be published again. If you use it in your Jinling dream, I don't think he will take the blame.
Tang Yin had been wandering around Xianyuan for a long time and had heard some rumors from Zhang Cai's mouth. However, he later learned that Xianyuan was Xu Xun's property and that Shen Yue had lived there before. If he had no more speculations, then He was just confused. At that moment, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, which gentleman? Could it be the gentleman who once chanted the phrase "If life is just like the first meeting, why is the autumn wind sad and the painting fan?"
"You guessed it right!"
Xu Xun shrugged and said softly in his heart: "He is also the gentleman who said that the great pass is like iron, and now he is crossing it all over again."
He once looked back at the rolling tide of time as a descendant, but now he has jumped to five hundred years ago. Every celebrity and every period of history in those five hundred years is now his best teacher.
