Chapter 5 5. Touch his mold

At this time, Jin Shaoshan's later fortune, which was very popular and extremely popular, has already revealed its clues.The advertisement praised him like this: "...for Xiushanzi, his family has a long history, and he is different from ordinary people. His workmanship is peaceful and steady, and even the little Mu Sanxiong in the past is no more important than this." Who is "Xiao Mu Sanxiong"?Forgive me for my shallowness, and I can't answer "family door". These words were probably written by the literati Sun Yusheng.Sun Yusheng's pen name is "Shanghai Shushisheng", and he wrote the popular novel "Dream of Prosperity on the Sea".He became Huang Chujiu's friend very early on, and he was also one of Huang Chujiu's "counselors".After the opening of the new stage, Sun Yusheng was hired as the manager of the front desk, responsible for external publicity.

Let's say that Xinxin Stage received Tan Xinpei this time, just like receiving an imperial envoy, and they did not dare to neglect at all.Backstage manager Zhou Yongtang specially sent Wang Rongxiang (stage name Xiao Rongxiang) to Beijing on a special trip to accompany Lao Tan and the whole team to the south by boat.When the ship arrives at the pier, there are already cars waiting.This is the car of Huang Chujiu, the owner of Xinxin Stage. I don't need it today, so I specially let it out for Boss Tan to ride. I have already rented a house for Boss Tan. It is in Baoheli, opposite the west end of the small garden. It is very close to the theater. Boss Tan can spend enough time in the apartment, and then go to the backstage to act in a play after he has enough energy. .

Boss Tan's silver package is 10,000 oceans, and the other important supporting roles are 6,000 oceans each, and they all take care of food, housing, and delivery.Liu Shun played the drums, and Qiu Guixian, Qiu Shengrong's father, played the piano.After Qiu Guixian changed to singing Hualian, people said that his voice had an old-fashioned charm, which may be related to the fact that he played the piano for Lao Tan and was influenced by him. Some of Lao Tan's masterpieces, such as "Empty City Strategy", "Qiong Lin Banquet", and "Hongyang Cave", have been performed four times;In particular, "Catch and Release Cao" and "Golden Terrace" co-starred with Jin Xiushan are evenly matched and the most exciting.Lao Tan also played "Sitting on the Building and Killing Xi" once, and played Yan Xijiao's Shanghai famous actress Zhang Yunqing (stage name Yizhan Deng).He has worked with Lao Tan before, and they are familiar with each other's acting, so this time he also acted perfectly, with a very tacit understanding.

This time Lao Tan also performed "Lianyingzhai" (the Battle of Yiling in the Three Kingdoms), which he had not performed in Shanghai before.In the play, there are a large number of "Anti-Xipi 26" singers and the slumped body during the fire, which made the audience in Shanghai feel refreshed.According to legend, when Lao Tan was enshrined in the Qing court, he never sang this play.But after the Reform Movement of 1898, every time Emperor Guangxu celebrates his birthday, the Empress Dowager will ask Old Tan to sing "Lianyingzhai". Crying is not rewarded.The Queen Mother's intention was to commemorate her dead son, Emperor Tongzhi, in front of Guangxu.

"Changting Zhaoguan" and "Cinnabar Mole" have always been regarded as family dramas of Wang Guifen and Sun Juxian. After watching Lao Tan's performance this time, they discovered that he has his own special style.In short, Lao Tan is in the limelight this time, who would have thought that someone would touch his "bad head".
