Chapter 9 9. No one draws lots

This time, Lao Tan did not bring his own scenes and crew, Hu Qin was played by his son Tan Er, and the supporting roles in the play could only be filled by the original cast of the new stage, so they could only act in some plays that everyone is more familiar with.In this "Lost Empty Cut", Pan Yueqiao played Wang Ping, Xia Yuerun played Zhao Yun, Xu Kuiguan played Ma Di, and Cao Fuchen played Sima Yi; the two piano boys were actually played by Mao Yunke from Seven Lanterns and Zhao Wenlian from Seventeen Lanterns. They were all from Shanghai at that time. Famous actors from Shanghai came to play tricks on Lao Tan this time, not only to join in the fun and increase his appeal, but also to support Lao Tan and show respect to the elders.

The most surprising thing is: Yang Sili, who played against Lao Tan last time and sang "Soul Stealing Bell" and turned four tables, actually played a spy in "Missing the Sky" this time.The original unhappiness was written off. Lao Tan really lived up to expectations.As soon as Zhuge Liang played by him appeared on the stage, he didn't rush to take a step, but stood still with a feather fan in his hand, which showed that the old minister who was entrusted by the late emperor had to maintain a calm demeanor in front of the enemy.There was still a bit of chattering in the auditorium, but under Zhuge Liang's stand and look, it became silent. When Zhuge Liang was reading the introduction at the entrance of the stage, the audience was almost silent.

Everyone also found that Lao Tan's voice this time was purer and more energetic than the last time he came to Shanghai. When he read the last sentence of the introduction, "the two generations of virtuous ministers of the Baohan family", the "Chen" seemed to use "cough" softly. Sent out lightly, the returning rhyme is complete and natural, showing Lao Tan's powerful oral skills. It has always been the performance of "Lost Empty Slash", and when Zhuge Liang finished singing "February 6" in the "Empty City Plan" on the tower, some audiences couldn't hold back and left their seats one after another.This time Lao Tan played "Killing Ma Su", and no one "drawing lots".It wasn't until Zhuge Liang finished mourning Ma Di's death that he said that he would hold a banquet in the "back hall" to congratulate Zhao Yun, and when he blew the ending sign, the audience cheered and stood up and applauded and dispersed.

The word-of-mouth of the audience is the most powerful, one spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds. Everyone says how well Lao Tan's opera is sung, which brings more people to come to be guests.Lao Tan performed for ten days before and after, and every day was full, and he also sold extra seats and standing tickets. One day, Lao Tan is going to play "Fenhe Bay", who will play Xue Rengui's wife Liu Yingchun?It's an ambiguous role.It is suggested that Zhao Junyu should try the new stage.Zhao Junyu was a male actor, he was still young at that time, although he had just made his debut, he didn't know if he would be able to play with Lao Tan.Old Tan remembered that Zhao Junyu's grandfather, Zhao Songshou, had been friends with him for a long time. In order to help the younger generation, he agreed to let him have a try, and talked seriously beforehand.When it came to the official performance, Zhao Junyu not only didn't make a single mistake, but also chatted with Lao Tan, confronted each other, and showed the scene of the husband and wife "bickering" with extreme devotion.The audience was satisfied, and so was Lao Tan.

At the end of the ten days, the income from the new stage was 30,000 oceans, and Lao Tan was given 8,000 oceans, which was quite a considerable amount of income at the time. When the incident reached Huang Chujiu's ears, he felt a lot of emotion.
