In the past, theaters didn’t have curtains or anything like that, they would change props in the open air!
In the early years, some actors would take their teapots and drink while others were singing on the stage. If they were hungry, they would even ask someone to bring them a bowl of noodles and eat before continuing to sing!
Of course, this must be a big star, and the fans in the audience will not think it is excessive, and will even find it very interesting.
Later, after the two masters Mei Lanfang and Ma Lianliang became famous, they began to purify the stage!
The current Peking Opera stage is very disciplined.
In the past, there was a special type of Peking Opera called "Fenxi".
You should know what it is just by listening to the name. In those days, many small theaters that couldn’t sell seats liked to perform this kind of play. It was very popular!
Works like "The Drunken Concubine" and "The Dragon and the Phoenix" are among his representative works!
Later, Mei Lanfang rearranged these two plays, resulting in the current version.
If you have seen "The Dragon and the Phoenix", you can find some colorful lines in it.
Just like the scene between Emperor Zhengde and Li Fengjie about flower arrangement, it was considered very explicit in later generations, but in this day and age, it is not even considered to be borderline explicit!
On the stage, there is a table and three chairs!
The table is placed in the middle, with a chair in front of the table and two chairs placed in an "eight" shape on both sides of the table!
This means that they are in the inner hall, the person in the middle has a higher status, and his assistants are on both sides!
Yan Chasan and Gongsun Ce, played by Ye Shenglan, walked out first!
Yan Chasan has learned that the golden seal has been stolen and is extremely anxious!
Lin Mu walked out of the exit door, holding the golden seal in his hand, and said with a proud look on his face,
"Your Excellency, I have captured two thieves, one of whom escaped, and I have recovered the golden seal!"
After saying that, Lin Mu held the golden seal above his head.
Ye Shenglan showed a happy expression, clapped his hands, and said with a smile,
"Fifth brother, you have worked hard!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Mu handed the golden seal to Ye Shenglan and pushed the task of protecting the golden seal!
Ye Shenglan turned to look at Gongsun Ce and said,
"I'll leave the matter of protecting the seal in my hands, sir!"
Gongsun Ce did not take the seal, but pointed at the seal box held by Huang Bu and said,
"I obey your command. I will just open the seal box first so I can see it clearly in person!"
This is what smart people do!
There is a saying in the antique business: jade is not as good as your hands.
Whether it is porcelain or jade, which are easily broken, they should never be passed from hand to hand.
Anyone who knows a little bit about this will ask you to put your things down first and then they will go and get them themselves.
This avoids a lot of trouble.
Of course, many newbies are scammed by this method!
Gongsun Ce's approach was absolutely correct. Since the seal box had been stolen, who knew whether the golden seal inside was lost? There was nothing wrong with protecting the seal himself, but he had to see the golden seal with his own eyes!
Lin Mu heard this and said sarcastically,
"Mr. Gongsun is really thoughtful!"
Indeed, Gongsun Ce's actions made Bai Yuting a little unhappy!
Gongsun Ce didn't want to offend him, so he could only say with a smile,
"It's better to be clear!"
Lin Mu took the seal box with a smile, opened it himself, and presented it to Gongsun Ce.
Gongsun Ce looked out and was horrified.
"Oh, the official seal is gone. It's just a piece of scrap metal!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
"There's also a scroll!"
Lin Mu quickly took the letter, opened it and read,
"Bai Yutang has made a fool of himself, allowing others to fool him like an ox. The golden seal is in Chongxiao Tower, how dare you come and chop off your head with a knife!"
When Lin Mu saw the information on the letter, his face suddenly turned red and he performed the Sichuan Opera face-changing skills!
Teeth clenched, eyebrows raised, bloodshot pupils, eyes bulging...
Many drama fans in the audience were moved by Lin Mu’s performance at this moment!
Although Bai Yuting’s previous performance had some flaws, his merits outweighed his flaws and he showed everyone the image of Master Bai Wu who hates evil and hates evil!
However, at this moment, Master Bai Wu was actually being made a fool of by someone!
