The large and square theater clustered on the banks of the Han River is a rendering of the exterior and internal parts drawn by Zhou Huaian himself. The contemporary artisans will make use of the specific details, and finally built it into a kind of antique appearance and internal appearance. It is quite a Western-style alienated wood structure.
Therefore, this square is just like a building with a seal, with a height of five storeys/six feet and a side length of twenty feet. The first to third floors of the interior are all performance areas that run through the floors and are divided into one large and four small theaters. Then there are transitional subsidiary compartments such as aisles, tea rooms, and lounges.
By winding up the corridors and stairs on the outer layer, the buildings that connect the fourth, fifth and part of the terraces are the functional areas including dormitories, dining halls, prop rooms, clothing rooms, and warehouses. .
In addition to the main building, there are moat-like artificial ditches and pools surrounding it, with only a dozen short arch bridges spanning it. It is not only used as part of the greening measures and artificial landscape of supporting rockery, but also to prevent fire prevention needs in case.
As one of the few demonstrative public buildings of the Taiping Army, apart from regular public performances and internal rehearsals, this theater also occasionally accepts leases from folk quyi troupes, courtyard painting boats, and even personal homes during the rest of the time. Thought to maintain the subsidy.
Among them, the main sources of actors of various colors are those in the government-run schools and the women in the teaching workshops. After several years of transition, adaptation and elimination, most people have found here that they can support themselves and even their lives without betraying their laughter. Live a decent new life, and the value and meaning of the corresponding life.
Of course, as a starting performance project, most of the script materials and outlines were provided by Zhou Huaian on the initiative, and then the corresponding professional vocal group will complete and adapt them into specific works that conform to the style of this era.
Of course, they are all positive content. For example, Nezha makes trouble in the sea, splits the mountain to save his mother, and stone monkey makes trouble in the heavenly palace. These are so lively that people love to see, and are full of myths and myths that resist the spirit.
Or else, from the perspective of the bottom market, exposing countless tragedies caused by the darkness of the government and the decay and degeneration of the aristocratic families, the "Blessings of Love", "The Peony Pavilion", "Rescue the Wind and Dust", "The Peacock Flies Southeast", "The Story of the Purple Hairpin/Huo Xiaoyu", "Broken Mirror Reunion"
Or the various human stories and adventure legends re-interpreted by works such as "Jinghuayuan", "Shanhaijing", and "Sou Shen Ji" that describe overseas wonders.
However, in today’s drama catalogue, there are both comical satires "Rising Three Levels in Succession", "Five Worlds" and "Imperial Minister", as well as sing mime "Marriage of Three Smiles", "The Legend of White Snake/Green Snake" and "A Chinese Ghost Story". "Painted Skin".
As a privilege of not wanting to cause sensation, riots, or other tensions; Zhou Huaian and his party stopped directly in a corner of the courtyard outside the theater; then, they were led directly into the corridor by a semi-enclosed corridor that resembled a wind and rain bridge. Among the largest venues.
Although today is not the most lively holiday of the year, or a scene dedicated to the old laborers; but it also coincides with the days when the military members and the family members of the staff receive the welcome coupons as a welfare, and take turns to watch the drama in batches.
So in the hall below, from the seats with cases in the front row to the long benches in the back row, they are already full of seven. Under the threat of being off the shelf, these places have really become a paradise in a certain sense. Thinking of this, he sighed again in infinite memory:
"It's just that I can't go back now, or that place is no longer in this world..."
"Could it be that the three-mountain-like immortal dwellings in Penglai overseas are called? Is Lang Jun really a genus of born banished immortals..."
Hong Yao'er, who opened her eyes wider and looked more and more charming and lovely, asked more carefully and more curiously.
"Well, guess for yourself!"
Zhou Huaian smiled.
"Are all immortals as good as you... Are you brazen... Don't you claim to be from Buddhism..."
But it was the girl who chuckled softly again.
"The so-called Buddhism is the Tao, and the Taoist ancestor is even before the Buddha. The ancient immortals and sages are naturally different from each other, just like the Emperor Xuanyuan did not have three thousand imperial daughters and soared, and she shed "The Interview of the Prime Girl". The allusion... Shuangxiu is also one of the ancient three thousand avenues..."
Zhou Huai'an was a righteous and confident way, but he couldn't help thinking of a new trick in the future.
For example, when you want to applaud a girl who is infinitely shy and honest like a lamb, when you want to applaud for love, you can shout such as "eat the crit of my banished immortal", "posture, it's time to practice" and "accept the empowerment from the banished immortal." "Look at me cutting the red dragon and breaking the white tiger." To increase the corresponding interest is not.
However, the easy time to watch dramas always flies very quickly. Although it was a vaguely familiar and unremarkable scene along the way on the return journey, the red medicine leaning behind the curtain still looked interesting and not enough to look at.
"Why don't we go down and walk, let the carts and horses go back first..."
Zhou Huaian's heart suddenly moved.
"I'm afraid this is not good..."
Hong Yaoer was a little surprised and turned her head and declined, but the fingers that she twisted gently together revealed another feeling of expectation.
"It's okay. As long as the front and back guards are arranged at the end of the hand, they will accompany me to observe the city and the normal life of the people under the rule of the Taiping Army for a while, and what should I do."
Zhou Huaian continued to comfort him.
"That, then, just listen to Lang Jun..."
She tried to suppress this somewhat cheerful tone and said softly.
Although it is an arranged political marriage, this girl has always worked very hard and is very hardworking, learning how to be a good enough to match the role of internal helper, so Zhou Huaian doesn't mind being a little bit more tolerant and indulgent in her daily life. Little mood.
After all, living in a high-door mansion all day long, coming in and out are crowded, and acting outside is also a lot of attention. For a girl her age, it is a bit depressing and constrained. So putting aside these for the time being, it would be beneficial to let yourself go for a while occasionally.
After all, what Zhou Huai'an wants is a good family and career partner who can be cheerful and attentive, with his own ideas and creativity, instead of being shaped and distorted by various tangible and invisible rules. A beautiful doll with extreme boringness.
"However, we can't go on like this... we have to find a place to change our outfits, otherwise this opportunity will be wasted..."
Zhou Huaian stopped her again
"Is it possible... it's in this car..."
However, in the face of Zhou Huaian's already prepared surprise, Hong Yaoer was a little embarrassed and twitched.
"Don't worry, each other is already a husband and wife, so what if I help you wear it..."
Zhou Huaian said calmly and righteously. (End of this chapter)
