Chapter 94 Theatre Clubs and Teahouses(1/2)

Speaking of the relationship between Ningzhe and Yun Jin, we have to talk about the Qingcezhuang opera performance a few years ago.

Yun Jin became famous at a young age, inherited her mother's legacy, and under the guidance of Yun's father, she developed quite impressive singing skills and figure at a young age.

However, when she first started performing, she did not find her own path.

When the performance starts on the stage, every time the conflict becomes fierce, you will raise your voice loudly, and every time the situation reaches a low point, you will lower your voice and slowly sing out the lyrics...

This is textbook-style teaching. With Yun Jin's outstanding voice and graceful figure, she can become a famous actor in Liyue Port even if she doesn't make any changes.

But that's not what she wants.

If there was no difference between the goddess in "The Goddess Pi Guan" and the fisherman girl in "Lian Zhu Xin", it would be such a boring performance.

Therefore, in a performance called "Walking in the Snow", she successfully "entered" opera for the first time.

Breathe and live like a character in the play, touching your heart with every smile.

In the entire Liyue Port, there are not many people who are lucky enough to have watched Yun Jin's "Walking in the Snow", and Ningzhe happens to be one of them.

...

"Ningzhe, long time no see. Why do you have time to come to Yunhan Club today?"

Seeing an acquaintance coming here, Yun Jin put aside her depressed mood just now and put on a smile.

"Meet an old friend. We haven't seen each other for a long time since "Walking in the Snow"."

Ningzhe didn't have any restraints and directly pulled up a chair and sat opposite Yun Jin.

"Haha...Last time, you asked Yun Ning to tell me about the new play, do you remember?"

Seeing Ningzhe's appearance, Yun Jin smiled softly and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Of course I remember it, but I haven't finished writing that story yet..."

""The Goddess", the story of a girl becoming a hero?"

Mentioning this, Yun Jin felt a little helpless.

"Yes, yes, what's the problem?"

Ningzhe was stunned for a moment and found that Yun Jin's expression was a little strange, so he tentatively spoke.

"Then do you know that the story "The Goddess" is not a new play, but a play written by my father in the past... Moreover, its name is "The Goddess Piguan".

"Of course I know."

To Yun Jin's expectation, Ningzhe just nodded, with a matter-of-fact expression, "That's why I call this one "Goddess" instead of "Goddess Pi Guan"."

"Is it possible that you have made any improvements on top of this?"

Hearing Ningzhe say this, Yun Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Ningzhe was well-known throughout Liyue Port, especially in the area of ​​the Writers Association... It would not be fun if he got into trouble like this.

"Hehe... well, keep this a secret. You will know it sooner or later anyway."

Ningzhe blinked, then looked at "Peach Blossom Terrace" in Yun Jin's hand, and asked curiously: "Is this the play you will be acting in later?"

"Ah...yes."

Seeing that Ningzhe was interested in the script in his hand, Yun Jin handed it over without hesitation.

"Peach Blossom Terrace"...

At first glance, the name seems to be a story about love.

After Ningzhe took it, he looked at it carefully.

...

The dark moon blows the lake breeze, making it difficult for each other to find a way.

The clothes and robes are covered with spring grass, and the wind and dust are thousands of miles away.

The autumn wind rustles and the clouds and smoke disperse. There is a saying: Winter is not yet old, and thousands of homes are darkened by mist and rain. Looking towards Lincheng, outside the long pavilion of my hometown.

The White Horse Immortal has descended into the human world, and his movements and gestures are vaguely immortal. His incarnation has already entered the common people. He goes out to sleep on poems and plays on his pillow, but he returns home without knowing where he is.

The sun on the mountain in the West Garden is nowhere to be found, but I look at the travelers from all directions. When I reach the end, I find a stone forest.

The strange rocks are rugged, but there is a great secret in them. The immortal is not sure, so he goes in to investigate.

...

There was a woman who lived in the forest. She looked at the mountain sun at sunrise and went to the West Garden at moonrise.

When the immortal saw him, he felt compassion in his heart and attracted the clouds and wind, and so on.

...

Feiyun is murmuring, and her hair is full of hairpins.

The east wind is soft, the spring scenery is dim, and the red dust is full of lingering fragrance.

Immortals and mortals are separated from each other, and each of them sees each other, and this goes on for many years.

...

"Um..."

After reading it, Ningzhe gently put down the book "Peach Blossom Terrace", and doubts gradually arose in his heart.

In terms of story alone, it is a very classic fairy tale love story.

An immortal meets a mortal woman by chance, and the two fall in love. However, the immortal has a long lifespan, while the mortal is fragile, and eventually the world is separated.

But...why is it called "Peach Blossom Terrace"?

The word "peach blossom" does not appear in the entire text of the play, and there is no image of peach blossom, and there are no people or things related to peach blossom...

"Hmph, I didn't expect that I would sometimes stump you~"

Seeing Ningzhe frowning and looking thoughtful, Yun Jin raised her head and teased him.

Even without asking, she knew what Ningzhe was wondering about.

——This is simply why this play is called "Peach Blossom Terrace".

When she first saw the script, she had the same question. As time went by, she kept thinking about it and couldn't understand it, and finally had to ask Mr. Yun.

The old gentleman's answer...well, it's not wrong, it's just that Yun Jin didn't think of it for a while.

"Tsk..."

Hearing Yun Jin's words, Ningzhe subconsciously let out a "tsk", then his eyes widened and he read line after line carefully.

Spring grass, robes, flying clouds, colorful hair...

Stone Forest, Shanyang, Xiyuan....

What is the connection between these images?

"I see..."

Suddenly, Ningzhe nodded with enlightenment, then looked at Yun Jin, and said in a strange tone: "The peach blossoms fall to the dust, the east wind blows, the spring color dyes them, and the lingering fragrance scatters... Strange Rock Mountain Balcony?"

"Yeah, well, as expected of you, it only took such a while to guess it right."

Hearing Ningzhe's answer, Yun Jin was not surprised and just praised him.

In other words, it would be strange if he guessed incorrectly.

After all, he is a young book writer recognized by the entire Liyue Port, so I guess there must be no problem with something like this.

After hearing Yun Jin's praise, Ningzhe raised his head even more.

Mr. Yun’s praise is not the same as other people’s praise!

"Uh... Well, there is still more than half an hour before the stage time. If we don't make changes, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

Seeing Ningzhe and Yun Jin chatting there, Yun Ning spoke anxiously.

Frankly speaking, according to the general process, it is too late to make changes now.

Because the opera singer needs to be familiar with the script and needs to act as the character, which requires a lot of time to settle.

"Change the script?"

Hearing Yun Ning's words, Ningzhe was stunned for a moment.

Then, he raised the copy of "Peach Blossom Terrace" in his hand and said with a smile: "I had already changed it when I finished reading it for the first time. It's a very simple thing."

Did you change it after reading it for the first time?!

Yun Ning's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

This speed is too fast!

"Yes. For a qualified playwright, the moment he finishes reading a story, his thoughts will be revised."

Yun Jin was not surprised at all, and even thought of giving Yun Ning some knowledge.

"Then, don't you need to familiarize yourself with the changed script?"
To be continued...
