Chapter 165 Feng Chengcheng performs a play
Ouyang Han's drama performance rehearsal has also begun. In addition to Wencai, the investor, he also invited many drama artists to visit.
The big stage of the Orchid Pavilion is wider than a football field.
The scenery on the stage now is the wilderness outside the Great Wall, with snow falling for thousands of miles and heavy snow.
A group of bearded men dressed in Liao costumes, holding whips in their hands, were driving a group of prisoners with tattered sleeves.
Walking in front of the prisoners was a middle-aged man in a tattered yellow robe.
The man had a fair face and no beard, and he had an elegant temperament. Even in difficult circumstances, he exuded a sense of nobility.
Next to him was a beautiful princess in palace dress.
The princess wore a phoenix crown and a silk skirt, and looked very pitiful and beautiful.
Her expression was complicated, with confusion about the future and a strong and unyielding will.
The man in the yellow robe is Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. He is the most skilled calligrapher in history who was good at painting and created his own Slender Gold style of calligraphy.
The princess next to him is Zhao Fujin, Princess Maode, who was persecuted to death in history.
Song Huizong hesitated and suddenly couldn't hold on and fell into the snow disguised with paper.
A bearded Liao soldier stepped forward and hit Song Huizong on the head with a horsewhip.
Princess Maude Zhao Fujin threw herself on Emperor Huizong of Song and blocked several horsewhips for her.
These horse whips were stained with red ink and hit Zhao Fujin's back, leaving several red marks like blood.
This is the prologue to Fengbo Pavilion, the Jingkang Shame.
This scene is very short, only a few minutes. In the next scene, the stage will switch to Fengbo Pavilion, where Prince Yue appears in prison clothes, wearing shackles, and with wounds all over his body.
The prophecy in the prologue is used to show the fate of Prince Yue in Fengbo Pavilion.
Ouyang Han puts the focus on the treacherous ministers. Fengbo Pavilion does not tell the story of Yue Fei's fate, but of the treacherous ministers who destroyed their own country.
At this time, the Republic of China was in dire straits and the country was in crisis. The Japanese had already occupied half of the Dragon Kingdom.
The country was not yet united, and there was internal strife among the Wang Puppet regime, and collusion between traitors and the Japanese invaders.
This situation is eerily similar to that of the Song Dynasty. The brutal Liao soldiers and devils, the treacherous minister Qin Hui and the traitor Wang Jinwei are almost replicas of history.
At that time, Shanghai was still ruled by traitors and Japanese invaders, and there were too many restrictions on openly performing patriotic dramas. If they were not careful, the drama troupe might end up in jail.
Therefore, Ouyang Han used Qin Hui to metaphorically represent Wang Jinwei's fate, predicting that he would also kneel by the West Lake, becoming a national scum who would be despised by the people and infamous for eternity.
As soon as the elegant goddess who played Zhao Fujin was hit, the audience immediately shouted, "Cut, cut."
"Ka, what is Ka?"
Director Ouyang Han appeared from the backstage and quickly asked the investor.
Investors are the heaven and the earth, Wencai shouted to everyone to stop.
"Ka means stop."
Wencai was wearing a suit and looked like an artist.
In fact, his current identity in Shanghai is a famous composer and great artist.
"I see. I understand. Director Xu, do you have any advice?"
Ouyang Han told Wencai that he had given Wencai a nominal position as drama director in public.
"Your acting is too exaggerated. I guess you don't even know what exaggerated means. This is our Dongguang dialect. Simply put, it means that your acting is a bit fake and too much."
Wencai said.
Ouyang Han didn't say anything, and a VIP next to him said, "Mr. Xu is right. I also feel that something is wrong, but I can't put it into words."
"Yes, it seems to be fake."
"The acting is too bad. Well, Dongguang dialect says it well, exaggerated, exaggerated acting, this word is so good, it touches my heart."
The invited art directors and distinguished guests in the audience also echoed this.
Wencai continued, "That Zhao Fujin, isn't he? He's pretty, but his expression never changes. When a whip hits you, your instinctive reaction is pain, and your back will twitch. And that bearded guy, your way of holding the horsewhip is totally wrong. I've seen Black Panther Lu Zhenhua whipping people before."
His words made the artists in the audience nod their heads.
Black Panther is not good at fighting, but his horsewhip is famous in Shanghai.
This handsome man from Northeast China was very popular for a while when he first moved to Shanghai a few years ago.
At that time, the whole of Shanghai was reporting on his underworld activities, such as robbing women in broad daylight and beating concubines with a horsewhip!
So when it comes to beating women with a horsewhip, in Shanghai and even in the whole country, Lu Zhenhua is second to none.
"Come on, Mr. Xu, come on stage and perform for us, perform one."
The audience below shouted.
Ouyang Han also said: "Director Xu, then you can give us some pointers. Feng Chengcheng is a newcomer, and her acting skills are a little immature."
The actress who played Princess Roufu, Zhao Fujin, was none other than Miss Feng Chengcheng.
Ouyang Han once met Feng Chengcheng on the street and was immediately struck by her beauty. He thought she had an elegant temperament like orchid and was perfect for the role of a princess.
Although Wang Jiazhi, who was originally cast in this role, was also very beautiful, she looked too coquettish and lustful, making her unsuitable for playing a noble princess.
So Ouyang Han tried his best to invite Feng Chengcheng to perform in the drama.
Feng Chengcheng is also a fun-loving person. It is boring to be a rich lady and spend money on eating, drinking, playing and shopping every day.
When I heard that there was such an interesting thing as a drama, I agreed without thinking.
After rehearsing for a few days, although she was a little tired, Feng Chengcheng felt that acting in a drama was perfect for her and it could help her forget about Xu Wenqiang.
"Then I will respectfully obey your orders. Please give me some advice, teachers."
Wencai threw away his hat and jumped onto the stage.
He was about seven or eight meters away from the stage. He leaped onto the stage, and before he had even finished performing his kung fu skills, the audience below was already applauding wildly.
"Producer Xu has great skills."
"You are worthy of being the enemy of the devils and the king of Kung Fu."
A few cheers were heard.
After Wencai jumped onto the stage, the bearded actor who had just beaten someone respectfully handed him the whip.
As he got closer, Feng Chengcheng, the peerless beauty in ancient costume, suddenly saw his appearance clearly.
"You, you, you are the miracle doctor."
Feng Chengcheng was somewhat afraid of Wencai from the bottom of her heart.
She is the eldest daughter of the Qing Gang. When ordinary people see her, they are either afraid of her or obsessed with her peerless beauty.
But Feng Chengcheng was really afraid of this person.
In fact, she was not the only one who was afraid. Her father Feng Jingyao was not afraid either.
"Ms. Feng, how are you? Come, I will teach you how to act."
Wencai shook the whip in his hand, and the sound of "Snap" was faintly heard, like the sound of wind and thunder.
The handle of a real horsewhip is made of cow bones, and the whip body is made of cowhide soaked in tung oil.
When this oil-soaked cowhide hits a person, the skin and flesh will be torn immediately, causing unbearable pain.
The whip used by Lu Zhenhua was made of soft cowhide that had not been soaked in oil. It would hurt when it hit the body, but it would not cause any cuts to the skin.
After all, it is enough to beat the delicate and tender concubine to the point of pain, but not to really disfigure her!
The prop whip is made of cloth strips, and it has no effect on the body except causing itching.
At this time, Wencai possessed a hundred years of Wuji true energy. Picking leaves and flying flowers could hurt people, and the soft leather strips he injected were more powerful than a steel whip.
One whip can break an ordinary person's bones.
When Feng Chengcheng saw Wencai swinging the whip, he was almost frightened and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
"Clap clap clap!"
The audience applauded.
Acting, this is what acting is.
Humans are made of flesh and blood, so it’s really fake to say that they are not afraid of whips.
No matter how much faith you have, it will still hurt.
Just like the bearded man beating someone just now, it was so soft and weak, just like a kid playing house.
The beaten princess acted as if nothing happened after being whipped a few times. Even children couldn't bear to watch such acting.
Now, Wencai whipped his whip, and the whip made a crackling sound, which made the audience feel cold in their hearts.
The cruelty and barbarity of the Liao people are vividly portrayed.
Feng Chengcheng couldn't bear it any longer and yelled, "I don't want to act anymore. I want to go home. I don't want to act anymore."
