Chapter 8 Eight, this is a big deal

Unexpectedly, after a day or two, a tabloid reported this matter.The tone of the article seems to be filled with righteous indignation, accusing Xinxin Stage of bullying others, and hoping that people from all walks of life will come forward to uphold justice. With this writing, other newspapers (mostly tabloids) were deeply afraid of damaging their "justice" image, so they also published articles in response.The strange thing is that some articles make a big fuss about whether Tan Xinpei should be called "The King of the Acting World", meaning nothing more than "Who named you the King of the Acting World"?Even if you are the "king of the acting world", don't you allow people to call you "good"?Then the pen and ink turned to Xinxin Stage, saying that he treats spectators so overbearingly, who would dare to come to your place to watch plays in the future... It can be seen that this is a business that wants to take advantage of the opportunity to dump Xinxin Stage.

Among the celebrities who came out to speak, one was Zheng Zhengqiu, a senior in the new drama and film industry. He encouraged Li Benchu ​​to take this matter to court, and sue Huang Chujiu if he didn't sue anyone else. In fact, Li Benchu ​​had already left Shanghai, and I don't know whether he returned to his hometown or went to other places.What is published in the newspaper is what other people say. Regardless of whether Li Benchu ​​is in Shanghai or not, anyway, this incident has become a big issue and caused public outrage.The business of Xinxin Stage had to be affected, and Lao Tan had to stop performing temporarily.

Huang Chujiu also had to come out to cook.Fortunately, Sun Yusheng was by his side, and he was familiar with the newspaper industry, and he was the one to unblock it. Zhou Yongtang then went to contact the then Shanghai Federation of Actors and Artists, and asked them to come out and say hello to their peers. They set up many tables and invited several guests. In the end, Huang Chujiu and Tan Xinpei jointly published in the newspaper, publicly apologizing to Li Benchu; the most important thing is that the title of "King of the Acting World" was missing in front of Tan Xinpei's name in the newspaper advertisement.Although Lao Tan didn't care, he felt very unhappy.

The turmoil finally subsided.Tan Xinpei resumed acting until the contract expired.Rest for a few days, and perform for a few more days, as a thank you to the theater and friends in Shanghai, and then return to the north by boat.Old Tan Qiang smiled and bid farewell to those who came to see him off, Shanghai, never coming again. However, in 1915, Tan Xinpei went to Putuo, Zhejiang Province to make a pilgrimage, passed through Shanghai, and was detained by his son-in-law Xia Yuerun and his brother, who begged repeatedly and could hardly refuse.So it was agreed that before going to Putuo, we would perform five performances on the new stage of Jiumudi, and then perform five performances after returning to Shanghai from Putuo.

Because of the lesson he learned from being "unlucky" on the Xinxin stage in 1912, Lao Tan didn't expect any miracles to happen this time, he just wanted to pass it by and deal with the affection of his daughter and son-in-law. As a 69-year-old man, It was also a consolation. Maybe Shanghainese just have such a curious impulse.They thought: You, the "King of the Acting World", had a bad luck here last time and went back. Now that you are here again, there must be something wrong with the trick, so we have to find out what happened.In this way, you encourage me, and I encourage you. On the first day, the cannon scene "Missing the Sky" sold out to a full house.
