Chapter 217 The Protagonist
Seeing Zhang Qingfeng's attitude, old man Liu didn't persuade him much, but asked his family members to cooperate with Zhang Qingfeng's work.
Moreover, old man Liu promised that all the money earned by Zhang Qingfeng's drama will be distributed by himself, that is to say, Zhang Qingfeng has become the head of the drama troupe formed by himself, and has also received the full support of the Liu family.
The next day, Zhang Qingfeng went out to find someone. He resigned from the two opera performances every day, and he gave Erquan Yingyue's performance to the eldest lady.
In the next time, he will go all out to rehearse his drama "Legend of the White Snake".
The main actors in The Legend of the White Snake, Xu Xian, are going to be played by Old Man Liu's grandson Liu Jiang. He is about 20 years old this year, just about the same, and he is more handsome.
As for the actor of White Lady, Zhang Qingfeng weighed it up, and he found that none of the Liu family was suitable.
The women of the Liu family, that is, Old Man Liu's daughter, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
But to be honest, these people are all average-looking, and none of them are particularly beautiful.
The actor Zhang Qingfeng wants for White Lady must at least be a beautiful woman at first glance, so he needs to find another actor for White Lady.
Xu Xian's sister and brother-in-law, Zhang Qingfeng is planning to let the eldest lady and his husband play the roles.
For Xiao Qing, Zhang Qingfeng is going to let the big lady's daughter Liu Rong play the role.
Of course, there are some less important roles. Other members of the Liu family can play guest roles. After the whole drama, it is a pity that the most people have to play dozens of guest roles.
Among them, the most difficult actor to find is Fa Hai, because Fa Hai is a monk, and he must shave his head if he wants to play this role.
In ancient times, people paid attention to the body, hair and skin, and the parents did not dare to hurt them. This is the beginning of filial piety.
Except for monks, shaving your head is not filial. Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to find actors in Fahai.
However, things have to be done step by step. Zhang Qingfeng plans to find the main actors first, and then gradually find Fa Hai's actors.
He believes in a word, money can make ghosts turn the millstone. In the face of interests, let alone hair, even the little brother below can be cut off, as long as the interests are big enough.
The next day, Zhang Qingfeng arranged for several actors to recite their lines and then went out to find actors.
He already had a few goals, which were all told by old man Liu.
In the entire Goulan circle in Lin'an City, although there are very few young and extremely beautiful people, it is not impossible.
The Zhou family drama troupe.
On this day, Zhang Qingfeng found a person named Zhou Guangquan, who was the leader of the Zhou family's drama class.
"You want to borrow my girl for a while? How can this work, unless you can marry her." Zhou Guangquan immediately said to Zhang Qingfeng when he heard Zhang Qingfeng came to borrow someone.
"Uncle Zhou, I'm just using Zhou Xiaoniang to rehearse an opera show for a while." Zhang Qingfeng said to Zhou Guangquan.
He didn't expect that Zhou Guangquan's idea was to be his father-in-law, how could this be possible.
"My girl doesn't know how to sing, and it's not nice for you to use her to make people say it. Unless you can marry her, I won't agree." Zhou Guangquan continued to say to Zhang Qingfeng.
Yang Sanlang's name is now known in the entire Lin'an Goulan circle.Not to mention the name of genius that goes with him. Everyone speculates that Yang Sanlang must have made a lot of money. If everyone doesn't know where Yang Sanlang's family is, maybe someone will go to matchmaking.
Now that Yang Sanlang came to the door by himself, Zhou Guangquan naturally wanted to make a match, maybe it would happen, and he was very confident in his daughter's appearance.
"This... Uncle Zhou, don't joke with me. I just want to borrow my little sister to perform an opera for a while. I can pay her three hundred yuan a day, and you can see the money for each performance. How is it?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Zhou Guangquan.
"I'm afraid it won't work. My daughter has been very busy recently. She can't do it here. She doesn't have time to go to other places to perform. If you are interested in my daughter, please find a matchmaker." Zhou Guangquan also said to Zhang Qingfeng .
"Since this is the case, then don't bother Uncle Zhou. I'm leaving." Zhang Qingfeng bid farewell to Zhou Guangquan.
Now that he has already offered a price, and people still disagree, there is no need for him to continue to entangle.
After leaving Zhou's house, Zhang Qingfeng went to find another opera troupe.
However, when the members of the opera troupe heard Zhang Qingfeng's request, they thought they were here to poach the wall, and there was no room for negotiation, so they drove Zhang Qingfeng out directly.
In the Goulan circle, beautiful and talented people are the pillars of each family, so how could they be borrowed by others casually.
Next, Zhang Qingfeng looked for several more companies, but all turned out to be rejected.
"It seems that it is not easy to find people with acting talents in the Goulan circle."
What Zhang Qingfeng was looking for was either opera troupes or zaju troupes. The people here had at least some acting skills.
However, as a competitor, how could others lend someone to Zhang Qingfeng?
"Sanlang, if you want to find someone who is beautiful and also good at acting, you can go to the brothel for a stroll. The girls there are all good-looking, and they are especially good at acting."
On this day, Old Man Liu saw that Zhang Qingfeng hadn't been able to find an actor for several days, so he made a suggestion.
Hearing Old Man Liu's words, Zhang Qingfeng looked at Old Man Liu in surprise, with strange eyes.
"What do you think I'm doing? Who can't have a youthful time."
Old man Liu said a little uncomfortable being looked at by Zhang Qingfeng.
"Although what you said is good, I don't like prostitutes." Zhang Qingfeng said.
Although the acting skills of the prostitutes are good, they are acting skills in real life. If they perform on stage, they will not be much better than ordinary people.
"Why are you a dead-headed woman? There are prostitutes who do not sell themselves. They have also cultivated their talents since childhood. Their singing and dancing are no worse than ordinary people. The most important thing is that they are beautiful."
Old man Liu said: "For example, Miss Liu Yiyi, who won the oiran prize last year, has the same surname as mine, but her appearance... tsk tsk tsk, if you see her, you will definitely be fascinated by her."
"Come on, everyone is an oiran, can you come to my place to act?" Zhang Qingfeng couldn't help but give old man Liu a look.
In fact, in the Song Dynasty, the brothels were not a place dedicated to selling meat. Most of the prostitutes here were performing music, singing and dancing, and folk arts.
But there are also prostitutes who are engaged in the skin and flesh trade. This kind of prostitute is called a prostitute.
Of course, some brothels inevitably have some vague transactions, just like the nightclubs of later generations. You can't say that nightclubs are places that specialize in selling butchers. They are qualitatively entertainment.
It was after the Song Dynasty that the brothel was defined as a place for flesh and blood business. At that time, as long as it was a skin and flesh business, it was either called brothel or Goulan.
The name brothel is a more elegant name, and the popular name is Gou Lan.
Even if the people of the Song Dynasty were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that a place like Goulan for watching operas would be used in later generations as a place for skin and meat business.
"Are you stupid? Who asked you to find the oiran? I told you to find other people, especially those who are not well-known. As long as you give them money, they can do whatever you want... Hehe." Finally, old man Liu He also gave Zhang Qingfeng a hey laugh.
Hearing old man Liu's hey hey, Zhang Qingfeng felt that old man Liu's previous persona in front of him immediately jumped down.
This old man is not a serious old man.
