Asking an officer if he wants to be a soldier is probably like asking a gangster if he wants a big girl. It is estimated that few people will refuse.
As a result, Yun Chao quickly gained the support of his key staff and recruited five hundred more recruits!
There is no way, who gives Yun Chao the confidence now.
The county captain and two patrol inspectors of Changshen County donated 60,000 taels, and also sent so many free miners.
Now Supervisor Dong has sent equipment for hundreds of people and hundreds of horses. If they are not fully utilized, God may not stand it.
Yun Chao no longer has to do the recruiting work personally. It has formed a fixed process. As long as you give a notification, you can recruit all the troops within a few days.
Before the new recruits were in place, Yun Chao took time to visit the newly formed propaganda team.
The formation of the propaganda team went smoothly. Yun Chao gave many brothel girls freedom. When they heard that he was going to form a propaganda team, many girls who were grateful to Yun Chao came to sign up.
Especially for some girls who came out of Feng Le Building, it is no exaggeration to describe them as versatile. They can sing, act, dance, there is almost anything they can't do.
The only thing that gave Zhang Sihai a headache was that there were too few male actors in the publicity team.
No, not even one.
Zhang Sihai is the only man in the propaganda team.
In a group, if there is only one man, it is not as exciting as imagined, but it is a very sad thing. If you don't believe it, just ask those male compatriots who are kindergarten teachers.
The Dawu Dynasty is not a later generation. Actors are neither called stars nor entertainers, nor can they be honored as people's artists.
An actor is a lower-class person with a lower status than a farmer, and his social status is even lower than that of some brothel girls.
Women in ancient brothels, unlike what many people in later generations believed, were not just in the flesh business.
Some of the so-called nobles had a very high status and were favored by many men of letters. Some were similar to the stars of later generations, but they did not have such a noble status.
The official name of the actors in the Dawu Dynasty was Lehu. Like the public craftsmen who lived in the public family, they were professions passed down from generation to generation.
Men from Lehu families must wear green turbans and sneak around when going out. They are looked down upon wherever they go.
The children of Lehu are not even qualified to go to school. They can only be Lehu for the rest of their lives, and their children and grandchildren must be Lehu.
Zhang Sihai had never thought of recruiting some happy households, but as soon as he proposed it, he was opposed by everyone.
A girl who is good at singing and dancing will have a high status. The prostitutes in the secret door do not have these skills.
These talented girls simply look down on Lehu. This is a chain of contempt that has been formed in their minds for a long time. Letting them play opposite a man wearing a green turban is simply an insult to them!
"Brother Chao, this is the situation. There is really a shortage of male actors now. What should we do?"
This time Yun Chao did not blame Zhang Sihai.
After all, the times have limited his imagination and brought difficulties to his work.
Not to mention Zhang Sihai, even Yun Chao also had a headache.
Yes, there were many poor people in the Dawu Dynasty. As long as they had enough to eat, many people could do anything.
However, now we are choosing actors, not helpers.
If you don’t know how to sing, what’s the use of having more people come?
Temporary cultivation is simply too late.
"Let's use women to dress up as men first. Although the effect is not good, it can be done. By the way, what kind of scene are you rehearsing now?"
When it comes to professionalism, Zhang Sihai becomes numb.
It's okay to ask him to do some administrative work, and it's okay to deal with external parties. If he is asked to talk about drama, he may not even be as good as a seven or eight-year-old girl in a brothel.
After hearing Yunchao talk about her professional field, the instructor Xianer immediately felt no sleepiness.
"Sir, the first scene of our publicity team is preparing for "The No. 1 Scholar"..."
"What?"
Yun Chao has one big eye and one small eye: "The number one scholar from a poor family? Who wrote this play?"
Miss Xian'er was startled: "This play is often performed in brothels, haven't you seen it?"
"Shh..."
Yun Chao breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that some guy had traveled through time like him.
The number one scholar from a humble family, why don’t you come from a humble family?
After asking about the plot, Yun Chao almost thought that this play was written by someone who traveled through time.
The Number One Scholar from a Poor Family is about a poor scholar who impressed a girl with his talent during a visit to a brothel.
This girl saved money to support him in his studies, and he got the first prize in the examination.
However, this young scholar was attracted by a high official and became his son-in-law.
Thirty years passed by. When the number one scholar, who had become the prime minister of the imperial court, returned to his hometown to retire, he heard that there was a brothel girl in her hometown. She had been keeping her virginity for more than twenty years for a poor scholar who was rushing to take the exam. She became ill from overwork. Finally passed away with regret.
Yun Chaoyue became more and more embarrassed when he heard it, and he almost got goosebumps.
All this is a mess, and it sounds like it was made up by brothels, telling scholars all over the world that brothel girls are good women with love and righteousness, and they are interested in their talents, not their money.
"Stop, stop, Miss Xian'er, our propaganda team is going to perform for the common people. Can the common people understand you, a talented and beautiful woman?"
"this……"
Not only Miss Xian'er, but all the girls in the publicity team were stunned.
The plays they can perform are basically of this type. If they want to be understood by the common people, what should they do?
Yun Chao scratched his head: "Girls, tell me, which show is the most popular?"
It was a rare opportunity to show off in front of Yun Chao. The girls would not be polite to Yun Chao and started talking in all directions...
Yun Chao listened for a while, but couldn't hear anything clearly except a hum.
He waved his hands quickly, saying that he couldn't let these little hooves talk any more, it was too noisy.
"You guys remember, the most important thing about whether a play is popular with the audience is whether it meets the audience's needs."
"What?"
All the girls looked at each other: "Sir, what is the audience?"
Yun Chao touched his nose, Little Sunflower Class was about to start again.
"The audience is the audience. When you perform in a brothel, most of the audience will be rich people with a relatively high level of education. They like to watch things about talented people and beauties. However, if you go to the countryside to perform, the audience will become ordinary people farming. If you perform those talented people and beauties, It's not impossible, but compared with acting out what happens around ordinary people, the effect is much worse..."
Yun Chao spoke so eloquently that he was foaming at the mouth. In order to impress these professional little hooves, he wanted to recite "An Actor's Self-cultivation".
It's a pity that he hasn't read that book.
After hearing this, Miss Xian'er asked in a confused tone: "Sir, after talking for a long time, you still haven't said what kind of show we should play?"
Yun Chao: "..."
