Wang Shifu is the one who wrote "The Romance of the West Chamber".

"The Romance of the West Chamber" is the most magnificent and beautiful among the Yuan dramas, and is also one of the most outstanding plays in the history of Chinese opera.

The author Wang Shifu has therefore become one of the most famous playwrights in the history of Chinese opera.

Gong Dayong of the Yuan Dynasty praised "The Romance of the West Chamber" as "Spring and Autumn" in the play.

However, this person is not one of the four great masters of Yuan Opera.

The Ming Dynasty opera theorist He Liangjun first mentioned the concept of the four masters of Yuan opera.

Guan Hanqing, Bai Pu, Ma Zhiyuan and Zheng Guangzu are called the four great masters.

Since then, the sayings of the four masters of Yuan opera have been passed down to this day.

However, why is Wang Shifu omitted? Is it because Wang Shifu is not as good as the other four? If he cannot replace him, at least he should be able to create a parallel among the five.

Jia Zhongming of the Ming Dynasty supplemented the poems of early composers listed in "Lu Gui Bu", and also titled it "composer" under Wang Shifu's name. He has a beautiful charm. Among the scholars, his peers are humbled. New Zaju, old legends, "The Romance of the West Chamber"

》The reputation of winning the first prize in the world”.

Win the first prize in the world.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

But Wang Shifu's "The Romance of the West Chamber" is the first.

It's not that the judges who selected the four great writers had any objections to Wang Shifu. He Liangjun said: "Wang Shifu is a magnificent talent and a true ci poet."

It's also highly praised.

However, he went on to say: "But in the first and last five volumes of "The West Chamber", with twenty-one sets of songs, there is never a single word 'love' in it. How can we blame it for its repetition of meaning and nonsense of language!"

Probably the reason may be here.

"The Romance of the West Chamber" has the word "love" written throughout it. In the ideological environment dominated by feudal Taoism at that time, Wang Shifu's thoughts were a little too "open". In the eyes of orthodox literati, the scene of the moonlight in the West Chamber should be regarded as "sweeping".

h" column.

We intellectuals must be at odds with Dudu.

Such works cannot be compared with those of the "Four Great Masters", so naturally they cannot be included in the Immortal Class.

Wang Shizhen, a writer and historian of the Ming Dynasty, who lived at the same time as Qian Chen in his previous life, came up with the theory of the Nine Families, and finally included Wang Shifu.

In any case, it has become a fact that Wang Shifu is not among the four great masters.

But in the eyes of drama people, Wang Shifu is definitely a lonely and defeated existence.

So, when I heard Qian, everyone said that they wanted to arrange Wang Shifu's repertoire.

Moreover, "Furong Pavilion" is to be restored, and many people in the opera world cannot sit still.

There are only three works written by Wang Shifu that have been completely handed down to this day: "The Romance of the Western Chamber", "Lichuntang" and "The Broken Kiln", as well as "The Tea Boat" and "The Furong Pavilion".

However, the latter two are incomplete copies.

The full name of "Hibiscus Pavilion" is "Han Caiyun Sizhu Furong Pavilion".

Li Kaixian's "Ci Jie" selected "Furong Pavilion" No.

1 fold of the lyrics.

Judging from the meaning of the word, Han Caiyun was a maid who fell in love with her master's nephew and took advantage of the moonlight to go to the study of his guest apartment to meet him.

lsp’s favorite part.

The music and lyrics are beautiful and touching, similar to Chapter 1 of Book 4 of "The Romance of the West Chamber".

Song and song lovers are very fascinated by this piece that is close to "The Romance of the West Chamber". Unfortunately, there are various legends, but no one has come across a folded copy other than the existing fragments.

Now, everyone has found the full version?

Even though Qian Chen said there was no need to worry, he would make it public after he figured it out, and he didn't hide anything private at all.

Some people still came in person.

Zhejiang and Kunming were all overjoyed. Such a grand event had not happened in thirty years.

It's a pity that opera eventually declined.

Moreover, this traditional industry adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile, so there are not even relevant reports.

If you are an insider, you will know.

You are a layman and may not even have any information.

Qian Chen had limited time, so he gave everyone three copies of "Furong Pavilion" at 12% off plus three wedges.

The book was written before I came here.

Then there are explanations, demonstrations, and rehearsals.

I focused on a classic clip.

We arranged for the theater troupe to rehearse repeatedly, and when they were ready, we took them directly to Hengdian for filming.

That's right, that's what he wanted to do.

There must be a scene that has never been shown in the movie.

Of course, by the time the movie is released, this excerpt will definitely have spread to a certain extent.

It's not like I did it secretly.

That's also something that can't be helped.

For this movie invested by Boss Yang and Mavericks Pentium, Qian Chen is only willing to go so far.

It is impossible to ask the entire opera industry to stand still for the sake of the movie.

That's it?

It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s been highly anticipated, but why don’t we all run away without even showing up?

This is too much.

We will be sad.

They are all quite old, and some even need support from their disciples and juniors.

Among them was Zhang Guoqiang, whom I had just met not long ago.

He originally had no interest in opera.

However, Qian Chen, a weirdo who straddles the entertainment and opera circles, is simply a miracle.

Zhang Guoqiang is not a gossip person.

I haven't mentioned it to anyone since I found out about it.

But this feeling that only you know and no one else knows is secretly satisfying, but it's also quite uncomfortable.

This time, he came with his parents.

After listening to Qian Chen's "Tang Minghuang Tours the Moon Palace", hundreds of words of praise immediately came to my mind.

Finally, it condensed into "fog grass, cowhide"!

Zhang Guoqiang is not very good at singing, but after all, he comes from a theatrical family and his appreciation ability is higher than that of ordinary people.

After listening to this, I finally understood why his parents admired Qian Chen so much.

The name of everyone is really not false.

The next step is to look forward to the release of new songs and to be among the first to hear them live.

However, what he didn't expect was that Qian Chen was waiting in line and had to leave in just two or three days.

"Everyone Qian, let's show everyone a show before we go."

Zhang Guoqiang took advantage of the fact that he had eaten and drank with Qian Chen and was not as reserved as the others, so he pulled him away and refused to let him go.

"The crew is waiting over there. Come back after a while." Qian Chen felt really sorry.

But if you really want to rehearse a new play to the point where it can be put on the big stage, it really can't be done in a short time.

Where did he get the time?

"For filming?" Zhang Guoqiang was stunned.

For filming, you created a new play and hired a bunch of famous actors to accompany you in rehearsals.

What kind of divine expansion is this?

"Yes, I'm filming a movie called "Qi Jia Dao", and I plan to have a scene of listening to a play. There won't be much camera footage, only about ten seconds."

Opera can be incorporated into it, but it cannot take over the main role.

"I admire you. In order to promote opera, Qian and everyone really spared no effort." Zhang Guoqiang was filled with emotion.

People with dreams are brilliant.

He is probably talking about people like Qian Chen.

"Misunderstanding, I don't have that much thought, it's just for filming." Qian Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

He is used to being a traitor.

Even if you occasionally did something good in your previous life, it would be interpreted in a sinister light.

When I got here, I was almost praised as a flower.

"Having said that, since everyone is here, let's sing one more time." Zhang Guoqiang has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and his face is thicker than the several layers of powder he applied when he was singing.

"The new track is still far from being released on stage. It's really not a good thing to go on stage hastily." Qian Chen was embarrassed.

"Oh, you don't have to sing a new song, you can just sing the previous one." Zhang Guoqiang knew that everyone wanted to hear it without asking.

The new ones are not enough, but the old ones can also satisfy the craving.

His parents said that every time he listens to Qian's performance, he will gain something different.
