Chapter 2673 Rehearsal
For a long time, Xu Yi had been deeply entangled in the issue of whether to see Lian Yunshang or not, fearing that if he did, it would bring huge negative twists and turns to Lian Yunshang's fate.
But if he hadn't seen her, he would probably be sorry for the friendship between Xia Zi and Xia Xingguang before they became strangers.
After thinking about it, he decided to make a compromise and take a sneak look aside to wait for the direction of the wind before taking the next step.
However, Lian Yunshang's whereabouts were not under his control.
Therefore, Xuanzhuang is a bridge leading him to find out the whereabouts of Lian Yunshang.
The shock would be too great, so he did not dare to tell Xuanzhuang that what he did was Lian Yunshang.
Instead, he said that he wanted to visit the White Horse Temple and ask Xuanzhuang to accompany him.
This stay lasted for three days, and Xu Yi's so-called visit was directly changed to check-in.
Fortunately, Xuanzhuang had a high status and led Xu Yi all the way to the main courtyards and mountain gates of Baima Temple.
Xu Yi was not visiting the White Horse Temple, but he was using his excellent perception to quietly capture the whereabouts of Lian Yunshang.
After three days, it really worked.
In the evening of that day, Xu Yi returned to Xuanzhuang, took an oil-paper umbrella from Zhike Monk, and strode out of Baima Temple.
It was already winter, and the auspicious snow was falling. After a while, when the footsteps fell, the tops of their feet were no longer visible.
With one person and one umbrella, Xu Yi walked through the snowy market, turned into Nancheng, and stopped in front of a stage on the west corner.
The stage is located in a large open space, about three feet high. Although it is an open-air stage, it has a huge ceiling. At this moment, the snow is falling, but it does not affect the excitement on the stage.
The stage was surrounded by enthusiastic audiences, and no one seemed to care about the wind and snow.
Xu Yicai stood under the stage for a moment, when a middle-aged man with a rich appearance came up to him, said a few words, and then took him to a private room on the north side of the stage.
The view from the elegant room is excellent, not too high and at the right angle, allowing for a clear view of the performances on the stage and the audience off the stage.
"It's all lined up. The next thing to do is to work overtime and use the elixir from the immortal family. These horns can hold on. They are all resting now. I'm sure they won't miss anything in a while."
The fat officer was waiting beside Xu Yi to report.
The open-air stage downstairs is his property, and it can be regarded as a lively place in Nancheng. Theater troupes from all over the country, when they go to Chang'an to pay homage to the pier, they must come to his place to experience it. Based on the reaction of the audience, they can verify it. Can it open up a scene in Beijing in the future?
Xu Yi came the day before yesterday, and his lavish spending shocked the fat man, and the tasks he was assigned also made the fat man scratch his head.
Xu Yi made up a play and asked the fat member to organize a performance, and only gave him two days.
Even though I have been working in the box office for many years, I have never seen such a strange request. Even if I am a god, I can't produce a big show in two days.
Since it was something he couldn't do, he no longer cared about the meat in his mouth. Although he felt regretful, he could finally stay safe.
Unexpectedly, this guest was extremely overbearing and insisted on him taking care of the situation. The protective umbrella man called by the fat man, Chen Captou, saw the sign he brought out and knelt down directly.
The fat man finally had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it. He only said that in order to do this, famous actors must be gathered together. Only famous actors have such skills and can complete such a large number of new plays in a short time.
Xu Yi said, this is simple, you can choose famous actors in the capital, even if it is a supporting role, I will let famous actors play the part.
At that time, Fatty Officer thought Xu Yi was talking nonsense.
Xu Yi was a powerful monk, he had already seen it.
But so what, this is Chang'an, not a small town in the countryside. There are too many royal families, academies, temples, and powerful monks in the city.
I don’t know how many of these people love drama.
Almost every famous actor has his or her own fan of The Monk.
Therefore, when Xu Yi made this promise, the fat man was just talking in his sleep.
Xu Yi didn't talk nonsense to him. He called a monk and asked the monk to lead the fat man out to do some work.
But he didn't expect that the frail monk, holding a token, could ward off all evils.
No matter how powerful you are and how many backers you call upon, you will never be able to retreat without defeat when you see the token in the hands of that thin monk.
Just like that, almost all the famous actors in the capital gathered outside Fatty Officer. The "Ask for Love" that Xu Yi told had a total of nearly a hundred characters, but more than two hundred famous actors were ready to take the role.
It's almost like two people preparing for a role and choosing the best.
If anyone is low on energy during the rehearsal, the high-grade elixirs and spiritual wine that only high-level monks can take will be immediately available.
Just like that, the drama "Ask for Love" has been scheduled.
This time, when Xu Yi arrived, he was spotted by the fat official's spy, and he hurriedly introduced Xu Yi into the private room that had been specially reserved for Xu Yi.
The fat actor tried his best to curry favor with Xu Yi, but Xu Yi ignored him at all and looked at the crowd under the stage with anxiety on his brows.
The fat man, who was accustomed to looking at people, immediately shut up. He simply couldn't figure out how a person like Xu Yi could still be troubled.
Seeing that the play in the audience was coming to an end, the fat member was a little anxious. There was constant pacing outside the door. He knew that it was Lao Cheng who was in charge of guarding the stage. He was anxious to see him and asked if he wanted to appear.
The fat officer was also very anxious, but Xu Yi didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to give random instructions.
Finally, under Lao Cheng's suggestion, the play on the stage slowed down three times and finally came to an end unbearably.
The fat man was so anxious that he went to the room. Finally, he saw a smile on Xu Yi's lips. He hurriedly approached and asked. Xu Yi waved and said, "Let's start singing."
The fat man seemed to be granted amnesty, and his plump body jumped out.
Xu Yi almost didn't notice the huge movement. All his thoughts were focused on the new girl in green.
"Hey...it's okay, it's okay, Yun Shang, I finally caught up. Don't lie to me. Will Wan Xiaoju really show up?"
Su Jinyue pulled Lian Yunshang and squeezed into the front row to sit down, her beautiful nose curved into a graceful slight arc.
There are not many seats in the entire open-air stage. There are only three rows at the front. Each seat ticket can only be purchased by people with specific identities.
Lian Yunshang said excitedly, "It's true, haven't you seen that Wan Xiaoju hasn't appeared in the past two days? Let me tell you, he is here. Not only him, but also the No. 1 corner in Beijing are here. Listen. It was said that the emperor wanted to watch a play, and the people in the imperial court detained all the famous actors here to rehearse the play. Today is the trial, come on, come on, come on, even Prince Chun is here..."
Lian Yunshang chirped as he introduced it to his best friend Su Jinyue, his eyes full of excitement.
Su Jinyue saw that many dignitaries who were rarely seen came, and whispered, "How did you get such a secret? It's true that you love going to the theater, but those stinky monks from White Horse Temple are annoying. I will never tell you such secret news."
Lian Yunshang was startled and said, "I just know, don't ask, look, Wan Xiaoju appears."
The mysterious voice heard in my ears yesterday came to my mind, "Tomorrow at Shenshi, Dong Guohong will sing to ask for love."
Dong Guohong is his favorite character, and whenever he plays, Lian Yunshang is a must.
