Republic of China: With the support of the veteran actor system, it is invincible

Yang Xiaolou nodded secretly as he watched Lin Mu's every move on the stage.

As a master at the pinnacle of dark energy, Yang Xiaolou saw through Lin Mu's realm at a glance.

With such a young person at the peak of Ming Jin, how could Yang Xiaolou not appreciate his talent!

Add to that such excellent technique and singing voice, isn't he definitely the inheritor of the Yang style?

As for Meng Xiaodong in the next box, she looked at Lin Mu with a dazed look!

I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand my junior fellow apprentice!

He is obviously from the Sun School, but he can not only sing the Qi School, but he is also very good at singing the Tan School!

Secretly comparing Lin Mu and Yu Shuyan in her mind, Meng Xiaodong suddenly felt that Yu Shuyan might not be better than Lin Mu!

Du Yuesheng didn't care about being jealous at this time, and his eyes became very hot when he looked at Lin Mu!

It would be the biggest loss if such a good actor did not appear at the opening ceremony of the Golden Theater.

……

"Here comes the bow——"

A supporting actor came out from the stage door, holding a precious carved bow in his hand!

When seeing this precious carved bow, both the fans in the audience and the famous actors in the second-floor box showed suspicious expressions!

Because Peking Opera, after all, is an art of emptiness.

What this means is that most of the props on the stage are fake.

Whether it was swords, spears, halberds, horses or vehicles, they were all fake.

As for the actual scene set up on the big stage, that is another matter.

But even if it is a real scene, the weapons in it are not real ones!

Generally speaking, the precious carved bow here is just an ordinary prop bow and arrow. Even a child can easily pull it. Some opera troupes don’t even use a bowstring, they just pretend to pull it.

However, this precious carved bow that was brought up now does not look like a fake at first glance!

Lin Mu took the precious carved bow from the extra, held it lightly in his hand, and a smile appeared in his heart.

Ever since he got the pair of Qilin arms yesterday, Lin Mu has focused his attention on today's performance!

This precious carved bow is Qiu Yuexiang's treasured collection.

It is said that this bow was the weapon of Qiao Yiqi, a Confucian general in the late Ming Dynasty.

Although Qiao Yiqi has a handsome appearance and is known as a beautiful man, he has amazing arm strength. Not only can he shoot a bow with a weight of five stones, but he can also shoot with both hands.

In the Battle of Sarhu, Qiao Yiqi fought to the last moment, and unwilling to be captured, he jumped off a cliff and died.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty bestowed the posthumous title of "Zhonglie" on him.

Five-stone bow.

One dan in the Han Dynasty was equal to 120 jin, and one jin was 16 liang. Converted into modern weight, one dan is almost 30 kilograms.

30 kilograms is a considerable amount of weight on the ancient battlefield.

An ordinary archer can only draw a bow weighing one stone, which is considered qualified. Most archers can only draw a bow weighing one and a half stones.

Even for a top-notch general, being able to pull a three-stone bow is already considered to have extraordinary arm strength!

From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of military generals who can draw a five-stone bow.

And the bow in Lin Mu's hand now is a five-stone bow.

Many people have a question when watching a play.

Why don’t they use real weapons on the stage?

You have to know that no matter how fantastic your fighting is on the stage, it is fake and will never become true!

Real weapons aren't used on stage, mainly because the troupe doesn't just serve the common people. They also perform in the homes of kings, princes, generals, and dignitaries. If you dare use real weapons in such a place, you'll lose your head!

Another more important point is that it is easy to cause accidental injuries.

Just like in later movies, many people complained that the scenes of actors riding horses were too fake.

However, the crew is also in a difficult situation. What if the protagonist accidentally falls off the horse and gets injured? Not only will they have to pay compensation, but the movie will also be ruined. The protagonist will have to take a break for half a year at best, or die directly at worst. What's the point of filming then?
