  Chapter 57 Millefeuille (3)

   "His name is Liu'er," Team Leader Huang said, "He's a singer in our troupe."

  Lin Fei asked: "What are you singing?"

  Team leader Huang said: "The name of the play is "The Orphan of the Zhao Family", and it's about..."

  Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Fei. He stretched out his hand, pointed at the head that was looking up at everyone, and said, "Why did you draw such a ghostly makeup?"

  Team leader Huang couldn't help but be embarrassed after listening to a sentence: "Adults also go to the theater!"

Is not this nonsensical? Mrs. Yasukuni is also a well-known theater fan. As a grandson, Lin Shaoqing naturally accompanies Mrs. Yasukuni to the theater a lot.

The play "The Orphan of the Zhao Family" is no stranger to theater fans. It is based on a passage in "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records". had a child. The reason why the child was able to survive was that a loyal subordinate exchanged his own child with that child, and let his own child replace the suzerain's son to be killed, so that he survived. After the child grows up, the story of revenge and revenge with the help of everyone.

   This is a story about revenge, and the whole story does not involve demons and ghosts. That being the case, how could the actors on the stage wear the makeup of evil spirits?

  Team Leader Huang explained with a sneer: ""The Orphan of Zhao" is sung too much, and everyone is familiar with it. Didn't I change it?"

  Lin Fei glanced at him, pointed at the actor on the stage painted with ghost makeup, and said, "Which character is he?"

  Team leader Huang's face froze, and he knew that the audience had watched most of the play, so he had no choice but to say honestly, "That's the orphan."

   "The protagonist is an evil ghost?" Liu Yuan couldn't help interjecting after hearing this.

  Team leader Huang sneered: "It's changed!" He said, and explained to everyone, "I...have always wanted to revive the troupe! I have to find another way and be ingenious!"

  As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhu, who was not very talkative, couldn't help but glanced at him, and said, "So you just made it up and made up a gimmick to attract people to watch?"

  Team leader Huang sneered again, and assured him: "Don't dare next time, don't dare!"

   "Where's the revised script?" Lin Fei asked, ignoring Team Leader Huang's assurance.

  Team leader Huang shook his head: "There is no script."

  How could there be no script? Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at him, their eyes full of suspicion.

  No matter how thick-skinned Team Leader Huang was, he couldn't help panicking at the suspicious glances of the officials in Dali Temple, and hurriedly said, "There really isn't one! I didn't make up this play!"

   "Who made it up?" Liu Yuan said, "Just call that person and ask."

Team leader Huang shook his head with a bitter face: "I can't scream anymore!" Then, without waiting for anyone to ask questions, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the actor who had been cut into a wooden figure on the stage, saying, "He...he made it up! "

  One sentence immediately provoked Liu Yuan's sneer: "What a coincidence? Could it be that you made it up yourself and planted a dead person on purpose!"

   "No!" Team leader Huang became anxious when he heard it, and quickly explained, "I really didn't make it up, I have proof!"

  Team Leader Huang does have witnesses, and there are quite a few witnesses.

  In addition to the testimony of the troupe from top to bottom, there are still many troupe members in the entire Chang'an City who have seen the actors on the stage.

"This man has been visiting the major troupes in Chang'an City since last year, saying that he wants to sing," the guard who went out to inquire about the news came back and reported, "The troupe owners asked him if he had sung? He doesn't even know how to read and play. At the age of sixteen, it's too late to learn, and the theater troupe master refused. This person said that he didn't want to learn to sing, but wanted to ask someone to let him sing alone a show…"

   "Some people don't bother to talk to him and think he's talking crazy! After all, he deliberately set up a stage and prepared something, just to let him sing a play, no one would agree." The guard who spoke glanced at the embarrassing boss Huang.

  The leader of class Huang shrank his neck with a smile.

"Someone was more patient and asked him what play he wanted to sing. He said it was called "The Orphan of the Zhao Family" and he made it up himself." The guard said, "Someone asked him to take the playbook to see, but he said there was no playbook. , when the time comes, he will be able to sing on stage by himself.”

  Which normal troupe master would agree to such a thing? Naturally blasted him out.

   "Team leader Huang also kicked him out when he was last year," the guard said as he glanced at Team leader Huang, and said, "I don't know why I let him sing again this time."

  Team leader Huang put his hands in his hands, still smiling dryly. After a pause, he explained in a low voice to everyone: "I... don't I want to make a gimmick!"

   "It's true to make a gimmick, but it's a gimmick for someone who doesn't know how to sing at all and doesn't even have a playbook?" Bai Zhu shook his head and said, "Team leader Huang thinks this explanation makes sense?"

  Ban Master Huang said: "That's because he promised me that this play would definitely cause a sensation, I... I believed him this time..."

  Lin Fei sized him up, but didn't speak. He just stretched out his finger to the person hanging in the air, and asked Team Leader Huang, "How did he die?"

  Huang Banzhu said: "The limbs and head were cut off by the wire..."

   "Lin Shaoqing asked about the process at that time," Liu Yuan said, "We can all see the wire cutting."

Only then did Team Leader Huang let out an "oh" and stammered, "At that time, I was all in the audience...really!" Team Leader Huang raised his hand and assured, "When he sang this play, I was in the audience the whole time Look at it, all the fans in the hall are my witnesses!"

   "Don't talk nonsense, tell me what happened at that time!" Liu Yuan said.

  Team leader Huang then said: "He's the one singing opera..."

   "He alone?" Liu Yuan asked.

  Team Leader Huang nodded and said, "Yes! Singing alone."

  "When he raised his sword to pierce the breast of the villain who slew all his people..."

  Team Leader Huang hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted again: "He's alone on the stage, how about a shot?"

  Can such an outrageous play continue?

"It is true that he is alone on the stage, but the villain to be pierced is not empty," Team Leader Huang said, leading a group of them to the side of the stage, pointing to the wire mechanism on the top of the stage that was covered by the curtain, There was a dummy hanging on it, and he said, "The villain is hanging there. I asked specifically when he wanted to use this mechanism. He said that in the last play, he would use a wire to hang himself in mid-air, and then fake it." The man hangs, and he pierces the dummy's chest through the air."

Speaking of this, Team Leader Huang paused, pointed at the dummy's chest, and said, "I even purposely hid chicken blood in the dummy's chest, and when he pierces it with a sword, the blood will splatter. some buzz..."

  Hearing this, Liu Yuan rolled his eyes at him angrily: "The fake turned out to be real, the dummy wasn't pierced, but he was the one who pierced himself?"
