Rebirth Starts From 2006

Taking Jackson to watch Peking Opera at the Huguang Guild Hall was not only in line with Jackson's requirements, but also in line with Chen Yang's wishes.

Why did he go to such great lengths to invite Jackson to come over for a tour and even try his best to accompany him throughout the whole process?

I just hope that through Jackson’s influence, we can promote our culture and let more foreigners know about it, and be interested in it and voluntarily learn about it!

Wouldn't it be just right to take him to see Peking Opera?

The more Chen Yang thought about it, the more he felt that he had made the right choice. He was about to speak when he heard Wu Jing say,

"Resident cross talk club? There is no permanent cross talk club there, but there are Peking opera performances all year round. Of course there are also cross talk performers, but they only come here occasionally to perform, so they are not considered permanent residents."

Um? Not permanent?

Could it be that Deyunshe's team hasn't driven over at this time?

He really doesn't know anything about these things, not to mention that he is not a cross talk fan. Even if he is a fan, he rarely knows it in such detail.

But this is not important,

Chen Yang looked at him blankly, "Then you also said you would take him to Huguang Guild Hall to watch cross talk?"

Wu Jing said innocently, "I went there to watch cross talk, but I didn't say there was a permanent cross talk club there. I just saw that the environment there was good, and there happened to be a cross talk today, so I suggested taking Jackson there."

After a pause, he added, "If you want to go to the Crosstalk Theater, you can go to Tianqiao. There is a Deyun Club there, which has become quite famous in Beijin in the past two years. I know their leader."

He said with a self-deprecating laugh, "In the past few years, I haven't been able to shoot many movies in Xiangjiang. When I did, I was always in supporting roles, which was quite depressing. And I didn't know anyone there, so I heard someone once in a while. I became interested in their cross talk,

Then when I came back to Beijin this year, I went to look for him. He was the class leader who was quite interesting. He could get along well and he was good at cross talk. If you like listening to cross talk, I will take you to see him next time. "

"oh,"

Chen Yang nodded suddenly, "So that's what happened,"

Then he glanced at Jackson and said, "Then next time, stay with him first this time."

Wu Jing looked at him and immediately smiled and said, "Sure,"

Then the two of them talked to Jackson. After an introduction full of overt and covert guidance, Jackson enthusiastically agreed to their proposal and said,

"I have seen your plays, but it was only twenty years ago, when I was in Xiangjiang, and I even wore their costumes!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Yang remembered that there was a photo of Jackson wearing a dragon robe, which was taken at that time.

but,

Chen Yang smiled and said, "The drama you watched is actually Cantonese opera. There are many types of dramas in our country. The one I took you to see today is Peking opera. The performance situation is very different. I wonder if you can figure it out."

"Yeah?"

Jackson became more interested when he heard this, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"

So half an hour later, a group of people appeared in front of the gate of Huguang Guild Hall.

Only when he arrived here did Chen Yang know that the Huguang Guild Hall was not only a grand stage, but also a museum!

Well, this museum is a bit small, but it’s still a museum.

The entire guild hall consists of a grand stage, Wenchang Pavilion, Baoshan Hall and Fengyuhuairen Pavilion. There is also a teahouse and a Chuwanyuan restaurant.

Hey, Boss Chen felt strange when he saw that the restaurant had opened into an ancient building. He asked Zou Rong to arrange a reservation and ate here tonight.

At this time, the play had not started yet, so a few people simply walked around the museum first.

Jackson was wearing casual clothes that are common among Chinese people, a peaked cap on his head, his long straight hair was locked in the hat with more than a dozen hairpins, a pair of brown glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a large mask, even at close range. From a distance, no one can tell that this is a foreigner as long as they don't speak.

No one knows DiLeo, this big fat guy. What does he look like?

What is it like now?

However, Chen Yang's image has also changed drastically. The long flowing shawl hair of the same style as Guo Feng covers most of his face on both sides.

Well, this is a wig, the hairstyle he often uses a clipper to push out. In Amy's words, where does he have the face to go out to meet people? !

Now with long hair shawl, paired with a casual suit, I feel quite like a young artist.

Zou Rong is the simplest. A hooded sweatshirt can fit her in. As long as the hat is on, no one can really see her.

This is the advantage of being small!

Among several people, Lao Wu is the most recognizable.

But in Wu Jing's own words, he has not been famous enough in recent years. There are not even many people asking for his autograph. In addition, he is wearing ordinary casual clothes. No one even recognizes him when he walks around in such a swagger. ,

There was just a little girl staring at him, not sure whether it was him or not.

It's really a bit miserable for celebrities to get mixed up like this!

The group of people were walking through the halls in the guild hall, and before they knew it, they arrived at the entrance of the grand stage.

At this time, there was a faint rhythmic sound of tinkling, tinkling, dong-dong, accompanied by the erhu, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Chen Yang stood at the door and looked at the big posters, "Farewell My Concubine," "The Drunken Concubine," "The Goddess Scattered Flowers," "Cuiping Mountain," and "Hundred Flowers Give Swords,"

Then he turned to look at Lao Wu, "If I heard correctly, what is being sung here is Beijin Qinshu?!"

The poster at the door is of Peking Opera, but inside the venue they are singing music and music. What the hell?

"Hey, hello!"

Lao Wu gave a thumbs up half sincerely and half jokingly, and said with a smile, "If my old man didn't like to listen, I wouldn't have heard it. People who know this are usually local old people. I didn't expect you to hear it!"

At this time, Jackson asked curiously, "Has the drama begun?"

"no,"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "This is Beijin Qinshu, a local opera from Beijin."

Then he looked at the poster again, "But it's not in the trailer, maybe it's just a temporary warm-up, right?"

Regardless of whether it was Peking Opera or not, Jackson was quite interested in the tune and immediately asked, "Can we go in?"

That must work!

Chen Yang immediately communicated with the management,

There was almost no difficulty. When the other party saw it, the traveling duo who had shocked the country in the past two days had actually come to the Huguang Guild Hall. How could there be any reason not to open the door to convenience!

Dang even arrange to take them in,

When we walked inside, the time was not up yet, and there was no audience in the venue, but there were a few old people on the stage who were fucking and performing mesmerically.

Right in front of the stage, there was a camera working, obviously recording.

The theater manager explained in a low voice, "These are the masters of Beijin Qinshu. The one in the middle who plays the drums and sings the lyrics is Mr. Guan, the founder of Qinshu.

The drum music club was established last year and settled in the Huguang Guild Hall. The old man occasionally came over to sing a few lines. There was no performance at this time, so he used the venue to shoot some movies. "

Chen Yang nodded and was about to speak when he saw Jackson walking straight forward.

He was very careful and didn't make any sound. He just walked to the front, found a seat and sat down, carefully enjoying the performance on the stage.

Chen Yang smiled apologetically at the manager, who was also dumbfounded.

However, the people on the stage turned a blind eye to the audience and performed on their own, and the people under the stage did not make any sound. The whole scene was exceptionally harmonious.

Seeing this, Chen Yang and others simply sat down in front and quietly enjoyed the old man's performance.

After a while, the music stopped, and Jackson immediately stood up and applauded vigorously.

Mr. Guan immediately put down his drumsticks and bowed to the audience together with the other two musicians.

Yes, the old man just treated it as a show of thanks.

The theater manager hurried forward, stood under the stage, and explained with a smile, "Mr. Guan, this is Mr. Jackson, a distinguished guest from the United States, and this is Mr. Chen Yang, an entrepreneur from my country. They are going to watch the next show. Peking Opera, don’t be surprised if I was attracted by your performance.”

Guan Laoyi immediately became happy when he heard this, "Hey, I didn't realize it. It turns out that this person is also a foreign guest."

He immediately raised his hands and said with a smile, "It's an honor for me to be appreciated by an official."

At this time, he saw Jackson pulling down his mask and looking at the instrument with a curious look on his face, and couldn't help but said, "If this gentleman is interested, you can come up and give it a try."

After listening to Shen Youshun's translation, Jackson's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it really okay?"

Mr. Guan laughed and made a gesture of invitation with his hands.

When Jackson saw it, he actually grabbed the railing and jumped up.

Seeing his posture, Chen Yang immediately turned to the theater manager and said, "Do you have an emergency plan here?"

This person has pulled down his mask. If an audience comes in and sees it later, that would be terrible.

Don’t think that those who love to watch Peking Opera don’t know Jackson.

I think back in the 1980s when break dancing was the most popular, there were very few break dancing people who didn’t know Jackson. And many of the b-boys back then have become fans who can’t dance, so Boss Chen doesn’t want to bet on this. How low is the possibility?

The manager was very calm, "Mr. Chen, you can rest assured, it's up to me."

Then he said to the staff next to him, "Immediately activate the second level plan to seal all entrances and exits of the theater. No one can enter without my instructions."

When the man turned around and walked out, he explained to Chen Yang, "The first-level plan has already caused a commotion. Mr. Jackson has not been discovered yet. The second-level plan is enough."

As he spoke, he smiled again, "Don't forget that our place is not big and we only sing old operas, but we still receive a lot of celebrities.

Just like in the past two months, Lin Junjie studied here for a few days with the master of the theater troupe. The few lines he sang "Beijing welcomes you" were also recorded here! "

"Yeah?!"

Chen Yang naturally smiled and cheered, and was about to give a few more compliments when a few dulcimer sounds sounded on the stage.

Several people looked up and saw Jackson sitting in front of the dulcimer. Under the guidance of the luthier, he took the bamboo and started to test the sound on the strings.

After a while, he found a few tones,

Beijin Qinshu's tunes are very simple and easy to remember. With his understanding of music, he can play them decently without much effort.

At this time, Mr. Guan also understood who the person in front of him was from the assistant beside him.

At this time, seeing that Jackson could actually play the music well, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Sir, would you be interested in collaborating on a song?"

When Jackson heard this, he immediately raised his head and said with bright eyes, "Is that okay?"

Mr. Guan laughed, picked up the drumstick again, and banged it, "Get up!"

The erhu musician immediately played a long tune and winked at Jackson.

Jackson also quickly found the right tune according to his memory just now, and knocked down with a clang.

At the beginning, he was still a little unfamiliar, and the erhu and drum beats were all accommodating to him.

After a few minutes, his dulcimer skills became smoother. It was only then that Mr. Guan played a heavy drum again and started singing.

Off the stage, Chen Yang whispered to Di Leo, "This is not a performance, and money cannot be calculated!"

DiLeo shook his head, "I didn't ask you for money either!"

It's true that he likes money, but if he wants money in this situation, he really wants money.

However, he looked at the camera again and wondered if he should talk to them, but quickly gave up the idea.

This time it was Jackson who took the initiative to get involved, but he was not invited, so it would be inappropriate to ask for money.

Chen Yang patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Just kidding,"

Then he winked at Shen Youshun,

Shen Youshun immediately returned the OK gesture and glanced upward.

Chen Yang turned around and looked,

Yes, there is a person on each side, blatantly filming with a portable camera.

These are all the tracking experts he managed to find. Most of Jackson's whereabouts in the past few days have not escaped their cameras.

There were no outsiders in the club at the moment, and they were not afraid that Jackson would be recognized, so they simply showed up.

They were there for the long shot, and Shen Youshun did it himself for the close shot, using the first sports shooting equipment produced by Meipai Company, and the effect looked pretty good.

One Qinshu song didn't last long, only a few minutes, but it couldn't stop Jackson from feeling fresh, and Mr. Guan was also happy, and even sang several songs in succession.

In this way, the time has reached the time when the Peking Opera is about to begin, uu read a book

Jackson could continue playing, but Mr. Guan was a polite person. When he saw that it was almost done, he stopped the drums, raised his hands to Jackson and smiled,

"Little friends can learn this skill as soon as they get started. However, there will be a Peking Opera performance soon, so why not invite the children to go upstairs and enjoy the opera!"

Of course there is no problem with Jackson;

So under the manager's arrangement, the group went up to the stands on the second floor. Mr. Guan was fine, so at Chen Yang's invitation, he simply followed them up.

The grand stage is quite large. The stage is located at the front, surrounded by viewing towers on three sides, and in the middle is a viewing pool filled with tables and chairs.

The stage canopy is embroidered with yellow gold silk satin with colorful dragons and phoenixes playing with beads, peonies, bats, good luck and other patterns. There is a couplet more than three meters high hanging on the pillar in front of the stage.

The first line of the first line is "Wei Que shared the dynasty, and the atmosphere is like a cloud dream in Dongting".

The second line is "Kang Qu Kai dances in the palace and merchants are still white with snow and spring\

,"Above the stage hangs the slogan "Neon Clothes Chanting Together", with gold characters on the black ground filling the hall.

Sitting on the seat on the second floor, Jackson looked around curiously. This stage layout, which was completely different from the West, made him feel very fresh.

At this time, the audience gradually began to enter the venue. After a while, most of the seats in the viewing pool were filled. Even the boxes upstairs were filled with many people, and among them were many young people.

Fortunately, Jackson had re-disguised himself by this time, otherwise he might have been discovered.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of gongs on the stage, followed by the sound of gongs, drums, erhu and clappers.

The scene quickly became quiet,

Jackson also stopped looking around, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table, and waited quietly for the show to begin.
