The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 192

[Chapter 192 Finals]

Building a theater is different from building a hook fence.

In this era, most of the hook fences and shacks are built in the same way. It can usually be set up in a few days. It doesn’t need to be so strong and reliable, it just needs to be enough.

Apart from the fact that it is easily crushed by heavy snow in winter, it doesn’t really have any major drawbacks. It’s just a hook. It can block the wind and the sun. What kind of bicycle do you want?

As for actors, due to the backwardness of the entertainment industry, some beautiful actors have gone to brothels to become prostitutes, leaving only a small number with uneven quality.

All things considered, we have only recruited more than 60 people for the time being.

Fang Xiu has never thought about this issue, and Old Man Sun has also discussed it.

Combining the successful cases of the Jingshi Grand Theater, we finally came to the conclusion that a medium-sized theater with twenty people is suitable, which can not only meet the performance requirements, but also be easy to manage.

For these actors and actresses, living at the bottom of society, with no fixed place to live and no food to eat is common.

They provide accommodation and receive a fixed salary of one tael per month. In the eyes of actors and actresses, this is something they can’t even dream of doing, and no one can refuse it.

In fact, these actors and actresses initially thought that Old Man Sun was lying to them.

It wasn’t until I saw the Capital Grand Theater and the contract written in black and white that I believed that all of this was really happening.

After a brief surprise, he immediately put his fingerprints on it as if he was afraid that Old Man Sun would regret it.

The content of the contract was discussed by Fang Xiu, Old Man Sun and others.

In addition to the stipulated salary of one tael of silver per month, there are many requirements.

The most important point is that they cannot spread what they have learned here.

Everyone can understand this.

For people like them who rely on craftsmanship to make a living, if these things are learned by others, it will be like ruining their own jobs. In the future, there will be a lot of competitors. Will they be able to make a living? All became a problem. .

Therefore, no one can break the contract.

What’s more, in this era, a contract written in black and white is very important. With the guarantee of the Kyoto Prefecture and the court, no one dares to violate the contract.

Under the double guarantee, the actors of the Jingshi Grand Theater can pass on their stage experience to them.

The birth of the stage drama has only taken place less than half a year ago, and it is a very new thing.

It’s still new to the newly recruited actors.

Old Man Sun originally planned to let these new recruits familiarize themselves with the script. After listening to Fang Xiu’s suggestion, he thought about it for a long time before deciding to have actors from the Beijing Grand Theater train them.

The popularity of “Nie Xiaoqian” is still there, but only when there is only one theater in the entire capital.

If the theaters in the north, west and suburbs of the city open at the same time, the original audience of the Capital Theater will definitely be diverted.

By then, whether “Nie Xiaoqian” can still attract enough audiences will become a question.

Therefore, Fang Xiu is planning to finish “Nie Xiaoqian” in the next few days, and then put “The Romance of the West Chamber” on the stage.

Waiting until the opening of the other three theaters, and then re-broadcasting “Nie Xiaoqian”, on the one hand, it can maintain the attendance rate of the Beijing Grand Theater, and on the other hand, it can promote the other three theaters. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, this is just Fang Xiu’s preliminary idea and is not yet mature. How to implement it still needs to be figured out by Old Man Sun and others.

In short, this matter must be completed before the Grand Competition of the Sixteenth Guards of the Pro-Army.

In a few days, it will be the last competition of the Sixteen Guards of the Pro-Army.

In the current comprehensive ranking, there is no doubt that the previous champion, Zuo Yu Linwei, is still ranked first.

Ranked second is Fang Xiu’s right feather Lin Wei.

Queue and horseback are points competitions where scores are calculated, unlike the elimination rounds of football and capture the flag.

The points generated by the first two items have been fixed, and the final game of football and flag capture determines the championship.

Coincidentally, both sides in these two final duels were the left and right Habayashi Wei.

Therefore, this competition is very important for the left and right feather forest guards!

As soon as Fang Xiu finished handling the theater affairs, he rushed to the palace to conduct the final training for the soldiers of the Youyu Lin Guard.

Time flew by quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the last competition of the pro-military review.

Safety is always the first priority when the emperor is present.

On the day of the pro-army Sixteenth Guards Football and Capture the Flag finals, except for a few people in the palace, most of the audience had to enter the venue half an hour in advance.

In addition, they must undergo strict inspection by Jinwu Guards. Only those who pass the inspection can enter.

The emperor’s position is naturally unique. He is located in the center of the VIP area, with the clearest view, isolated from the stands on both sides.

At the front of the VIP area, Emperor Chu was sitting on the dragon chair, showing no anger or authority.

Next to him were King Ning and King Kang, followed by three cabinet elders and six ministers.

Behind the old monk’s book, foreign envoys sat.

As for other people such as Langzhong and Zhonglangjiang, they can only be found at the edge of the VIP area.

There are only two games today, the first half is Capture the Flag and the second half is Football, which won’t last long.

Therefore, before the start of the two games, there are several entertainment programs.

Among them, half of the programs were brought by those small countries in the Western Region.

This is the practice in previous years. The Western Regions and the grasslands have different meanings to Chu State.

Although the grassland tribes also have internal frictions, they are still a united whole and pose a great threat to the Chu State.

But it was different in the Western Regions. Although there were some tribes among them that were hostile to the Chu State, most of the tribes paid tribute to the Chu State.

In addition, the various tribes are independent and have constant fights and frictions, making it impossible to unite.

Since they cannot unite, they naturally do not pose much of a threat to the Chu State.

After a very exotic dance, several women from the Western Regions knelt down on the ground, facing the Chu Kingdom, holding something in their hands.

An envoy from the Western Regions stepped forward and mumbled a few words.

The Emperor of Chu sat on the dragon chair, glanced condescendingly at the envoy from the Western Regions, turned to look at the entourage beside him, and asked: “What did he say?”

A chief secretary of Honglu Temple stepped forward and said: “Your Majesty “This is a piece of peerless jade found in the Western Regions. This envoy from the Western Regions wants to take advantage of the military review to present it to His Majesty.” After hearing this, Emperor Chu

nodded

and said, “Send it over.”

As soon as it fell, someone immediately stepped forward, took the jade with both hands, and presented it in front of Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu looked down and saw that the jade was bright yellow and translucent. It had not been carved yet and was still a piece of rough jade.

On the side, King Kang saw this scene and immediately raised his hands and said: “Father, this jade is pure in color, bright yellow and translucent, with no flaws in the whole body. It is really the best among jade. I would like to congratulate my father on getting this jade!”

Prince Ning !

He just opened his mouth to compliment him, but before he could speak, King Kang beat him to it.

He wanted to say something, but couldn’t say anything else. He could only close his mouth with an unhappy expression.
