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

Until the Golden Theater reopened, Du Yuesheng invited famous actors from all over the country to come and perform.

As the "landlord" of the Magic City, Zhou Xinfang naturally took the lead!

In this performance, Zhou Xinfang saw Lin Mu's performance seriously for the first time!

A performance of old Huang Zhong in "Dingjun Mountain" and a performance of Erlang Shen made Zhou Xinfang remember this good young man!

Indeed, to Zhou Xinfang, Lin Mu at that time was just decent!

However, within a few months, this young man's fame was like a rocket, catching up with himself, even surpassing himself by half a step!

He first made a name for himself in Tianjin, then went to Beijing, and his duel with Mei Lanfang spread across the country!

Zhou Xinfang originally thought that this young man was a little ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!

After all, he had worked with Mei Lanfang before, and Zhou Xinfang was very convinced of Mei Lanfang's art.

Although the two people were in different professions, Mei Lanfang's pursuit of art was a great inspiration to Zhou Xinfang!

However, no one expected that the news from the media was that Mei Lanfang had lost!

When Zhou Xinfang read the newspaper at that time, he could hardly believe his eyes. He thought the media was talking nonsense.

After all, Lin Mu came from Shanghai, and he is the sixth young master of the Lin family. The media in Shanghai will definitely follow him!

However, no one praises him like this, saying that Lin Mu is better than Mei Lanfang!

How is this possible!

Zhou Xinfang felt at the time that the media was spreading false information!

However, when more and more news came from the capital, and even some people in the opera industry stood up to support Lin Mu, Zhou Xinfang slowly believed it!

The most important thing is that Lin Mu sang "Farewell My Concubine" in Qingyi, and won over Mei Lanfang!

Zhou Xinfang felt that his three views had collapsed!

An old actor defeated Mei Lanfang with his Qingyi singing style!

I wouldn’t even dare to think about this kind of nonsense in my dreams, but this is what really happened in reality!

From that day on, Zhou Xinfang became more and more interested in Lin Mu!

Heroes appreciate heroes. Although he has believed the rumors, he still wants to see it with his own eyes and ears!

However, ever since Lin Mu returned to Shanghai, he has stopped accepting any performances outside and has been performing at Hongming Teahouse, which makes Zhou Xinfang a little embarrassed!

Therefore, Zhou Xinfang took advantage of this incident in the northern region and widely invited these famous Peking Opera artists in the south to organize a voluntary performance together. The ticket money earned would be used to help these poor actors in the south celebrate the New Year!

For Peking Opera actors, volunteer performances are something they absolutely cannot refuse unless there is a serious reason!

For a long time, the opera industry only had private performances and commercial performances.

Commercial plays refer to the daily performances by actors in theaters. Just like any other business, they are all about working to make money!

Tanghui Opera is when someone has a big event in their family or simply wants to invite actors to perform. This kind of performance is performed directly in other people's homes, and the remuneration for this kind of performance is also very generous!

However, in 1906, the incident of "Ms. Huixing's martyrdom for her studies" in Suzhou and Hangzhou spread to the north, causing a huge sensation.

For a time, a trend of raising funds to help students began to emerge in society.

The editor-in-chief of the "Beijing Women's Newspaper" at that time joined forces with the Beijing Yucheng Troupe and other troupes to organize a series of voluntary performances!

The kind-hearted people in the opera world and the enthusiastic public agreed to fulfill their obligations. Except for miscellaneous expenses, all the proceeds from the opera sales were remitted to the General of Hangzhou as funds for the Zhenwen Girls' School!

This is the original report in the newspaper at that time!

Famous actors such as Tan Xinpei, Wang Guifen, and Wang Yaoqing all participated in this grand charity performance.
