Chapter 214 Coup
However, before Xibao had time to learn more, a Lianhualuo actor from Fengtian put this story on the stage first and named it "The Shooting of Gao Zhanying". Because it was so popular, it went to Harbin, Tianjin and other places.
The tour also caused a sensation.
At this time, the case had not yet been investigated and Gao Zhanying was not taken into custody. As a result, the Lotus Fall actor attracted the attention of the Gao family. During a tour in Tianjin, he was beaten up by someone sent by the Gao family.
It didn't take long for the authorities to ban the opera on the grounds that falling lotus flowers were immoral.
Xibao was reading the news at the moment. The words "Lian Hua Luo" was clearly written on the newspaper.
"Manager Wen! Send someone to find Mr. Cheng and bring him to Shanghai quickly!"
Xibao also called himself Manager Wen, and Wen Zhongjun knew that there was no room for change.
"Mr. Cheng? Which Mr. Cheng?"
Xibao then pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said excitedly: "That's him. I want to ask him to help me write the script. If Lian Hua Luo can't act, I will act!"
This Mr. Cheng is the Lotus Actor who created "Shooting Gao Zhanying". He is also a very talented playwright. Before that, he had also created many popular scripts because he has always spoken out for the people at the bottom. Although he is very popular
Welcome, but it didn't actually bring much wealth to his life.
Now that he is alone, the entire Lotus Fall drama has been banned, and he is even less popular in the industry.
But Xibao was suddenly awakened by him, "That's right! It needs to be spread and let more people know about it. Just performing it in Shanghai won't work."
After the first performance was a great success, those fans who had been waiting for Xibao learned that she had gone to sing in a fashion play.
She recalled the cold treatment she received at home when she was a child, and felt that no one could understand the injustice to women in this era better than her.
Now that something like this has happened in Tianjin, all parties are looking at it as a joke and exerting pressure. The authorities are really under pressure.
Xibao said and went on stage.
And just when she was about to make a big splash in innovative dramas, a piece of news in the newspaper suddenly brought her back to reality.
Xibao was almost obsessed with fashion dramas because she finally realized what Mei Zilan and Tang Manru said to her and understood that she could do many things by singing.
"Now that I have met you, I suddenly understand that you have to sing this play, and no one else is suitable."
As for what you said about wanting to give some support to the Yang sisters, you have now written the script and rehearsed the play, so you can be considered supportive. However, the conditions are limited and it has not been spread."
"Okay, my Shangya class will perform this play with you!"
But after hearing Mr. Cheng tell the story of the Yang sisters, she changed her mind.
So when Wen Zhongjun came to him and said that Xibao wanted to ask him to help write the script, he thought he had heard wrongly.
Whether it was a prophecy or the will of the people, the authorities finally shot Gao Zhanying to settle the case.
However, Xibao retired after his success and did not even accept interviews from the media. He also announced that he would never perform this play again.
Many people don't even know that Xibao is in this drama.
"Who are you talking about? Who wants me to write a script?"
It was much harder to buy tickets for the second and third days, because they were all snatched up by old theater fans. They had not seen Xiba on stage for a long time, and it was rare to see her sing a new opera, so naturally they came every day.
Unexpectedly, the Gao family was still struggling to death and bribed the coroner. The coroner was obsessed with money and even lied in public, saying that he had examined Sister Yang's body and found that there was no suspicion of murder.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that she was Sister Yang, representing thousands of women who had been or were being persecuted by the world.
However, things were not as bad as Wen Zhongjun thought. At present, domestic factional fighting is very fierce. Shanghai, Beijing, Fengtian and other places each have their own positions.
"But the name needs to be changed. Instead of calling it "The Shooting of Gao Zhanying", just change it to "Sister Yang's Complaint." What do you think?"
But her cooperation with Mr. Cheng did not end, and she later collaborated on popular fashion dramas such as "The Orphaned Girl" and "New Camellia".
Su Yawang was also scared at first. It was hard for her to gain a foothold in Shanghai. There was no reason to offend her superiors and be banned just because of a drama.
The fashion play "Third Sister Yang's Complaint" was first performed at the Oriental Theater. At that time, there was a lot of fuss about the case and many people were paying attention to it. So as soon as the theater put up a poster saying that the play would be staged, the tickets were sold out immediately.
Wen Zhongjun gave himself a mouthful.
"Why do you think I'm so talkative? Sooner or later, this little ancestor will get into trouble."
You must know that Xibao came to Mr. Cheng to arrange "Third Sister Yang's Complaint", so he didn't bother to look for him.
But this incident was already known to everyone. There were many people watching at the scene. Everyone saw the truth and united to support Sister Yang and asked to see the body in person.
I am extremely envious of the lotus actors like them.
"But I don't understand Peking Opera." Mr. Cheng was a little worried.
"In my opinion, this is good. At least the theater fans' hearts are with you, and they won't go around causing trouble to cause trouble for you. We can make money safely, and they can watch the theater safely. Isn't this good?
Wen Zhongjun smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. We understand. You just need to write out the script first, and the rest of the tunes and tunes will be arranged by someone who understands."
As mentioned in the previous article, Mr. Cheng Zhaocai is an actor in Lian Hua Luo and Ping Opera, so the play "Third Sister Yang Complains" is actually a Ping Opera repertoire.
Xibao complained in front of Wen Zhongjun the day after tomorrow.
But didn’t they say that times have changed and men and women are equal?
If a woman has been abused by her husband's family for a long time and is eventually brutally killed, but the criminal cannot be brought to justice, then what has changed for women in this era?
Xibao asked Mr. Cheng for his opinion.
She stood up and said to Wen Zhongjun: "I'm going to convince Yawang. We'll go all the way north to Tianjin and Fengtian to perform. If it doesn't work, we'll go back to Beijing to perform. I'm going to ask those who hold power to
Everyone knows that the eyes of the whole country are watching this matter, and they cannot do whatever they want."
Mr. Cheng looked at Xibao and was stunned.
Especially after the ban on the performance of Lotus Falls, people from all walks of life frequently criticized it, and they did not dare to do anything again.
Of course Mr. Cheng knows about Xibao. After all, she sang in Fengtian for a while and became so popular that her posters are all over the streets.
In this way, Mr. Cheng followed Wen Zhongjun to Shanghai and wrote the script for Xibao.
"Xibao, Liu Xibao! The Beijing opera singer wants your help in writing a fashion play."
"What should I do? At first, I was afraid that this would affect the publicity of this matter, so I didn't put my name on the poster. But now it's better, all the seats are occupied by them, and those who have never heard of the show can't get in.
.”
Now that the authorities have banned Lotus Flowers for this matter, wouldn't she be causing trouble for herself by taking this hot potato?
Not only did he object to it himself, he also went to persuade Su Yawang and them not to fool around with Xibao.
Wen Zhongjun was extremely happy.
The coroner was so frightened that he quickly returned the bribe money to the Gao family and re-examined the body.
After Gao Zhanying was caught, he confessed to his crime, saying that his affair with his brother and sister-in-law was discovered by the second sister Yang, and Gao Zhanying killed him and silenced him.
Yu Wenke failed in the coup and was put under house arrest. Yu Wenliang was appointed as the chief of the Security Section, and was personally responsible for Yuwen Shike's security...
Finally, it was discovered that Sister Yang had multiple stab wounds on her body, and the handle of the knife was still stuck in her lower abdomen.
"On the way here, I was still thinking, for a popular actor like you, there are a lot of literati and writers writing scripts for you, what kind of scripts can't you get, and you have to come all the way to find me? Don't make fun of me.
"
Mr. Xibao and Mr. Cheng wrote the script with great enthusiasm, but Mr. Wen Zhongjun regretted it so much that his intestines turned blue.
Xibao's performance of "Third Sister Yang Complains" in Tianjin almost became the last straw for the authorities. Under pressure, the authorities decided to re-examine the death case of Second Sister Yang and open the coffin for an autopsy.
Xibao stopped what he was doing and tilted his head to look at Mr. Cheng, waiting for him to continue.
In addition, Mr. Cheng Zhaocai also wrote novels such as "Li Guixiang Catch Firewood", "Baolong Mountain", "Flowers as Matchmakers", "Du Shiniang", "Zhao Oiran", "Wedding Orphans", etc.
A Pingju opera script with the voices of women at the bottom of society.
The story that this article originally wanted to quote was actually not "Third Sister Yang's Complaint" but "The Orphan of a Righteous Marriage" because records show that this fashion drama was very popular, but no content about this drama was found on the Internet.
There is only one "Two County Magistrates Competing for a Righteous Marriage Orphan" from "Warning to the World". I guessed that the content should be different and I dare not use it without authorization. I had to choose "Sister Yang's Complaint" for which I could find detailed records.
What is very strange is that there is no introduction to this play in Mr. Cheng Zhaocai's information. It seems that with the death of a certain artist, this play has not been handed down.
However, you can still find collections of these operas on some used book websites. Due to time constraints, you don’t have time to buy them and read them. If you are interested, you can look for them yourself.
