Chapter 229 Invitation
It turned out that Zhang Qingfeng's fame was not only spread in Goulan, because there were more and more manuscripts of the Romance of the Gods, and many people in the upper class knew his name.
Last year, the most popular novel in Lin'an City was his Feng Shen Yan Yi novel.
After being circulated and copied by countless people, even the officials of the Song Dynasty had read this book, which shows the great influence of this book.
In fact, the magistrate invited Zhang Qingfeng because of the three poems he wrote in the examination room.
These three poems have been appreciated by many poets.
Especially the "Song of Haiyan" had a great influence on the poetry world. Many people have tried to write poems in this style, and even Lu You wrote several poems in this style.
Of course, these all happened among the upper class of society, and Zhang Qingfeng himself didn't know it.
Naturally, Zhang Qingfeng had to go at the prefect's invitation, and he couldn't even refuse the magistrate's invitation, let alone the magistrate's invitation.
Moreover, this kind of invitation is also a good thing for Zhang Qingfeng, being able to contact some people from the upper class is very helpful for his development.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture will hold a lantern festival at Qinghefang next to Yujie Street, and will invite many talented scholars and beauties to the banquet, and Zhang Qingfeng is just one of them.
"Yang Sanlang, I heard that you can play the huqin, and you can play the huqin very well. You can bring the huqin with you. If you have the opportunity, you can express it in your paintings." The middle-aged man said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"This, is this what the Lantern Festival requested?" Zhang Qingfeng asked in surprise.
"No, I found out that you can play the huqin. Others don't know. I just want to remind you that if you have the opportunity, you can try it. It's a good thing for you. Even if you don't have the opportunity, you have nothing to lose, right?" The young man said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Thank you for your reminder, I understand." Zhang Qingfeng nodded.
"The lantern festival of the Lantern Festival starts in the afternoon. Come here earlier and it will last until the wee hours of the morning..."
The middle-aged man explained many details to Zhang Qingfeng, as well as what to prepare, and then left.
Unknowingly, time flies so fast, and the Chinese New Year is coming in a blink of an eye.
Half a month after the new year is the Lantern Festival, but Zhang Qingfeng is not panicked at all, and he has nothing to prepare for.
The Lantern Festival was considered a grand festival in ancient times. During the Lantern Festival in the Southern Song Dynasty, lantern festivals were usually held in cities.
At that time, many streets would be hung with lanterns, making the whole street brightly lit.
On the Lantern Festival, many businessmen will take active actions and hold various activities.
Eat Lantern Festival, enjoy lanterns, guess lantern riddles, make Lantern Festival, etc.
The reason why the Lantern Festival is so attractive is not just the lantern festival.
On this day, girls who are hiding in the boudoir can also go to the streets to play. In a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, you can see handsome boys in fresh clothes and angry horses. It can be called Valentine's Day in China.
On this day, many entertainers will also take to the streets to perform various talents: storytelling, Chinese opera, Zaju, etc. These are free performances, making the Lantern Festival more lively.
"Everyone has been rehearsing well recently. The Lantern Festival will be over half a month away. I plan to perform our show on the street that day. Everyone must be ready." Zhang Qingfeng called all the theater troupe together and said.
"Sanlang, you can't perform on the street. There's no stage." Old Liu said to Zhang Qingfeng.
Zhang Qingfeng's plays have very high requirements on the stage. If they are only performed on flat ground without a backstage or curtain, the performance will not be satisfactory.
"It's okay, I will find a way." Zhang Qingfeng said.
In Lin'an City, the annual Lantern Festival is held in Yujie.
Lin'an Yujie, more than 4000 meters long, is known as Shili Yujie. There are tens of thousands of shops on both sides. Most of the people in the city live nearby.
The Lantern Festival will be held from the [-]th day to the [-]th day, so the entire Royal Street will be brightly lit in the past few days.
Zhang Qingfeng plans to spend money to rent a street stage to perform plays.
On both sides of Royal Street, there are some teahouses and restaurants with open-air performances, which are mainly used to attract customers.
Zhang Qingfeng plans to rent such a stage to perform plays.
These stages are large and small, and there are only three that can satisfy Zhang Qingfeng's drama performances, so Zhang Qingfeng needs to get in touch with these businesses in advance.
The next day, accompanied by old man Liu, Zhang Qingfeng went to Yujie Street, and then discussed with the owner of a restaurant with a stage.
In the end, Zhang Qingfeng spent five pennies to rent a restaurant for a day of stage performance.
For The Legend of the White Snake, Zhang Qingfeng rehearsed a total of five plays.
On the Lantern Festival, Zhang Qingfeng's theater troupe will only perform three of them, one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
The first drama mainly begins with the release of the white snake, ends with Bai Suzhen cultivating to become an immortal to repay her kindness a thousand years later, meeting on a broken bridge, and finally getting married.
In the second drama, Bai Suzhen stole government money, Xu Xian was dispatched to Gusu, and then the couple opened a drugstore in Gusu, until Bai Suzhen drank realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival and showed her original shape, scaring Xu Xian to death.
In the third drama, Bai Suzhen's Yaochi begged for the alchemy but failed to snatch it. The queen mother was furious and wanted to execute Bai Suzhen, but was rescued by Avalokitesvara.In the end, the toad Jing Fahai, who had a feud with Bai Suzhen, appeared, deceived Xu Xian and forced Bai Suzhen to save her husband, flooded Jinshan and committed a catastrophic disaster, and was suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda.
As for the final fourth and fifth plays, Zhang Qingfeng is going to perform in Gou Lan.
Originally, Zhang Qingfeng planned to schedule Legend of the White Snake as a two-hour program.But later he discovered that the time of one program simply cannot interpret most of the content of The Legend of the White Snake.
So in the end he could only arrange the Legend of the White Snake into a five-episode series.
After more than a week of rehearsals, everyone has only completed one play, and there is still more than half a month before the Lantern Festival, which is enough. .
Since The Legend of the White Snake was just in time for the Lantern Festival, Zhang Qingfeng might as well perform for free, and he could also run an advertisement by the way.
"Sanlang, have you heard? Old man Zhu also wrote a novel."
On this day, the third senior brother Hou Ming found Zhang Qingfeng in the morning and said.
"What?" Zhang Qingfeng asked in surprise.
"It's Mr. Zhu from Beiwa. Didn't he not tell storytelling? Do you know what he's been doing these past few months?" Hou Ming asked Zhang Qingfeng in the morning.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Qingfeng asked cooperatively.
"Just like you, he is also writing books." Hou Mingzao said.
"I also heard from some scribes that the old man Zhu wrote a novel called "The Romance of the Spring and Autumn Period". It is said that the writing is not bad. There are already scribes copying the book there. They are the same as you. , copying [-] words only charges fifty Wen."
"This guy has something!" Zhang Qingfeng said: "Do you have his manuscript?"
"No, if you want to read it, I can borrow it for you. I know some people who copy books over there." Hou Mingzao said.
"Then I will trouble you." Zhang Qingfeng was not polite, he also wanted to see how the novel written by Mr. Zhu was going.
