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

All mouths make gold!

Xun Huisheng laughed evilly twice and said,

"You know what, the Winter Emperor's Overlord is quite something. As expected, women still need to leave men to make progress!"

Looking at Xun Huisheng's frivolous look, Shang Xiaoyun frowned and said,

"Be serious and stop doing that stupid thing you did on stage. It's so disgusting!"

Xun Huisheng smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He has been studying the performance of Little Matchmaker recently, so he would bring it out from time to time in his daily life.

Among the four famous actresses, Xun Huisheng started singing Bangzi opera and had only been singing Peking opera for a few years. Therefore, the other three did not think much of her. They even did not believe that Xun Huisheng could be on par with them.

In fact, among the four famous actresses, Xun Huisheng is second only to Mei Lanfang in age and two days older than Shang Xiaoyun. Cheng Yanqiu is the youngest.

As for the origin of the Four Great Dan Actresses, there is still a misunderstanding today. Many people believe that this title came from an audience voting activity.

In other words, the four famous actresses were elected by voting.

In fact, not only people in later generations think so, but even in this era, most people think so!

There is such a passage in the biography of later generations:

In 1927, the Shuntian Times in Beijing held the first national selection of famous female roles. This was a completely spontaneous activity, with people voting to select their favorite actresses, and the results were determined by the number of votes received.

After a fierce competition, Mei Lanfang won the top four places with his performance of "The Story of Yang Guifei," Shang Xiaoyun with his performance of "The Modern Lady," Cheng Yanqiu with his performance of "The Story of Hong Fu," and Xun Huisheng with his performance of "The Introduction to Painting," and were thus dubbed the Four Great Dan Actresses of China (or the Four Great Dan Actresses of Peking Opera).

In fact, the full name of this voting activity is "In order to promote new plays and reward artists, a voting activity is being held to select the winners of the new plays of the 'Five Famous Actors'."

In fact, this voting activity is entirely aimed at the new plays of the five famous actors and does not involve the evaluation of their personal art.

These five famous opera singers are Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, Xun Huisheng and Xu Biyun.

To be more precise, it is to select the best new drama from each of these five people.

The results of the votes at that time were:

Mei Lanfang's "The Story of Yang Guifei" received a total of 1774 votes.

Cheng Yanqiu's "The Story of Hong Fu" received a total of 4785 votes.

Shang Xiaoyun's "Modern Girl" received a total of 6628 votes.

Xun Huisheng's "Danqing Yin" received a total of 1254 votes.

Xu Biyun's "Green Pearl" received a total of 1709 votes.

If we really go by the voting data, Xun Huisheng is ranked last, and Shang Xiaoyun is ranked first.

Of course, Xu Biyun is also a representative of self-destructiveness.

Like Shang Xiaoyun, Xu Biyun started out as a Wusheng and later switched to a Dan role. While still in the training phase, she was already able to play a leading role and was considered a celebrity in the program.

However, Xu Biyun not only became addicted to smoking, but also had an affair with the warlord's concubine. After being discovered, she almost became the second Liu Hanchen.

Fortunately, this is the capital, and a group of big names in the opera industry came forward to protect him and finally got him out of the capital.

Last year, Xu Biyun finally returned to the capital, but his smoking addiction had almost ruined his voice, and he had become like everyone else!

The term "Four Great Dan Actresses" gradually became popular after that vote.

Xun Huisheng's fans also took advantage of this trend and wrote many articles to increase Xun Huisheng's popularity and tie Xun Huisheng together with the other three.

Over time, everyone got used to calling them the Four Famous Dan Actresses!

However, Mei Lanfang and the other two all felt a certain aversion to Xun Huisheng!

Lin Mu, who was on the stage, heard the words of several night watchmen and knew that the army's morale had been broken. He immediately staggered and was filled with grief.
