Creation Color Master

After a brief greeting and introduction, everyone took their seats and the venue was packed with people.

As the owner of the theater, Chu Mo was also arranged to sit in the front row, but he did not choose to sit with Chen Gong, Zhou Wenlong and other officials.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Mo is a commoner with no official position, while Chen Gong and others are court officials. Even if the two are on good terms with each other in private, their status is too different after all, and they will be criticized if they sit together.

Now, there are only Lin Mingwei and Wang Hong by Chu Mo's side.

Although Lin Mingwei became famous again after the battle between Xia Yang and Gu Man some time ago, and the news of him being in charge of Hanyang Pass was also reported, but to outsiders, it seemed that it was all arranged by the emperor. However, Lin Mingwei, who had not been pardoned, was still a civilian, and the military power of Hanyang Pass was still in the hands of Zhao Pu.

Wang Hong has now long since left the court and is no longer an official, so he runs his Wang family in Yong'an Town.

Wang Hong looked at the lively scene, leaned slightly towards Chu Mo and said, "Chu boy, I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time. Now that officials and citizens are having fun together, it can be regarded as a good start."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Haha, this is mostly due to your contribution. Now the people of Yong'an Town are praising you highly. Yong'an Town is getting better and better under the governance of your Wang family."

Chu Mo's words made Wang Hong fall into memories, and then he said with a hint of relief: "Yes, Yong'an Town, a small border town, is the closest to the battlefield and the border. It is such a remote and dangerous place. When I chose this place, I also received opposition from my family. Now my hard work has not been in vain. Isn't it sweet after all the hard work?"

Chu Mo smiled and patted Wang Hong's hand, comforting him: "Don't worry, Yong'an Town will get better and better in the future."

Wang Hong smiled and nodded, saying, "I feel relieved when you say that. My two sons are not promising people. I will not feel at ease when Yong'an Town is handed over to them after I die."

"Chu boy, I can see that you are not an ordinary person. Yong'an Town is my life's work. I hope you can take care of it when the time comes."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Yong'an Town is where I grew up. My home is here. Yong'an Town will only get better and better in the future."

Wang Hong's old eyes stared at Chu Mo for a long time, and finally he smiled with relief, muttering: "Okay, okay, with your promise today, I feel relieved, hahahaha."

"Kang Dang"

The sound of a gong resounded throughout the venue, and the entire Shili Street fell silent. Madam Mingzhu, wearing an embroidered red robe, slowly walked onto the stage, looked around and said in a deep voice: "Thank you all for coming here to support us. The theater will begin soon. Our first performance is "Farewell My Concubine". Please enjoy it."

Mrs. Mingzhu left the stage gracefully, but her beautiful appearance still amazed everyone.

The young man from the Money Chamber of Commerce looked at Mingzhu Wu Ren leaving the theater with a fiery look in his eyes. He said to the guard beside him, "Go and find out who just announced the show. What a beauty. It would be a pity to leave her in the theater."

Upon hearing this, the guards nearby also took action immediately.

Looking at Chu Mo who was sitting behind him on his right, Liu Yuzhou stared at Chu Mo for a long time with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Chu Mo seemed to be aware of something, and immediately looked up, and met the eyes of Liu Yuzhou who was looking at him. The two of them smiled at each other tacitly.

Chu Mo was also curious about the young man sitting in front of him, because anyone who could sit in this position probably had a certain background and strength, so he needed to be careful.

The grandfather and grandson on the other side did not have the opportunity to sit down, but they chose a place with a wide view even though they were sitting very far back. Looking at Madam Mingzhu coming on stage to announce the show, the old man's eyes flashed with a gleam.

Then he stared at Chu Mo in the front row, as if talking to himself or answering the disciple riding on him, and said softly: "What a Red Dust Theater! It's a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are hidden. It gave me a surprise right at the beginning, hahahaha."

The apprentice looked at the laughing master and asked in confusion: "Master, the play hasn't even started yet, why are you so happy?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Haha, my dear disciple, you don't understand."

The actors came on stage and sang a wonderful play. The loud and clear singing voices reached the sky and immediately attracted cheers from the crowd.

On the stage was a female actress wearing a green costume, Yu Ji. Her figure was graceful and elegant, and her opera voice was gentle and melodious. Just a few lines from her opera made everyone mesmerized.

The martial arts overlord appeared on the stage. His mighty figure, steady steps and the armor he was wearing immediately attracted everyone's attention. His mere appearance caused cheers and applause from the fans in the audience.

Liu Yuzhou looked at the majestic figure of the Overlord on the field, his eyes lit up, and he asked the guard beside him: "Who is this person, with such a domineering and confident aura?"

The guard explained, "Master, this is one of the main characters in the opera, named Overlord Xiang Yu. In the opera, he is a local prince, with great martial arts skills and invincible bravery."

Liu Yuzhou felt extremely happy when he saw the figure who was no less powerful than a battlefield general. He never expected that he would gain something else from coming here. At the same time, it also strengthened his desire to take control of Chu Mo Theater.

As the two sang together, the opera tune changed with the development of the drama. The silent transformation touched the nerves of those present. Every word and every move was so natural that one could not help but feel as if they were there.

Eight maids dressed in green followed Concubine Yu onto the stage and sang:

"Since I followed the king to fight east and west"

"Under the frost and busyness, year after year"

"I hate that the ruthless Qin Dynasty destroyed all the people and brought them misery."

"My king, please return to the camp."

As the last shout was uttered, the sky above the stage was suddenly filled with wind and clouds, all kinds of spiritual lights rose, and strange visions appeared. The Concubine Yu in the picture, wearing fish-scale armor and a Ruyi crown on her head, was even more lifelike than the Concubine Yu played on the stage.

Seeing this scene, the crowd couldn't help but exclaimed. Wang Hong's eyes widened and he said, "The opera's strange phenomenon - the heaven and earth performing together is actually real. I didn't expect that the legendary strange phenomenon really exists."

Chu Mo had been exposed to Chinese opera since he was a child, so naturally he had heard his father talk about the strange phenomena in operas. It was a scene that was seldom seen in the ages. One should know that many operas were adapted from real life, just like "Farewell My Concubine", which was based on the story of Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, who was defeated by Liu Bang, and who experienced being surrounded by enemies on all sides, his beloved concubine Yu Ji's suicide, and his suicide at the Wujiang River.

This kind of vision only occurs when the actor develops empathy with the opera during the singing process, becomes immersed in the opera, and becomes one with the characters in the opera, making them one and the same.

The appearance of the strange phenomenon immediately startled everyone in the audience. Looking at the shadow emerging in the sky, it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes and were actually there.

Suddenly the crowd began to talk and the scene became chaotic and noisy.

Chu Mo knew the preciousness of this strange phenomenon. It was also an opportunity for the actors and could not be disturbed by the audience.

Chen Gong's mind moved, and he quickly signaled to Zhou Wenlong who was standing beside him.

Zhou Wenlong understood and immediately said in a stern voice: "Be quiet and enjoy the opera quietly. If anyone makes noise again, the palace soldiers will take action immediately."

Under Zhou Wenlong's intimidation, the scene finally quieted down.
