The carpenter was already a little older, so Qin Bai took advantage of his free time to talk to him about the theater, and it turned out that the other party understood him somewhat.
The main reason is that the old carpenter has been in Hangzhou for decades and has done a lot of work building stages, so he naturally has a lot of contact with them.
Including which theater has cheap tea, or which opera performer is good at singing.
Qin Bai soon noticed that the more famous the theater, the less crowded it was. Apart from the famous actors, there were only a few supporting actors.
Under normal circumstances, supporting actors have to appear in several scenes a day, but famous actors may not have to appear once in several days, but their salary accounts for most of them.
This gave Qin Bai a headache. He seemed to have made a mistake. The theater itself was not valuable, mainly the characters inside.
If he wanted to recruit actors, there would be too many ways to do it. After all, people are very complicated, and it might involve a lot of bad things.
He didn't ask for a solution to the problem, he just asked casually: "If I want to buy a theater, where do you think is the most suitable place?"
Unexpectedly, the old carpenter thought about it very seriously and replied after a moment: "It's not easy to handle. The main reason is that the famous theater has financial backers behind it, so it's easy to offend people."
Qin Bai couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He was already thinking about how to cut through the mess quickly.
The old carpenter suddenly shuddered and had goosebumps all over his body. He suddenly realized that his words might cause drastic changes in this industry.
"Manager Qin, all the famous actors in the theater are brought out. In fact, it will be easier as long as there are a group of masters to help take care of them."
"Oh, is there such a saying?"
The old carpenter breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Shopkeeper Qin can go to the south of the city. Although the place is remote and the people living there are miserable, there is a thatched cottage where the actors in the stage used to have their heads. Fame.”
"Then why are you so depressed?" Qin Bai couldn't help but ask.
"On the one hand, singing also depends on your age. No matter how you take care of your throat, it will never be as good as in your early twenties."
"In addition, these people in the thatched cottage are all from martial arts backgrounds. They are used to playing heroes, so naturally they feel a sense of injustice."
The old carpenter sighed and said: "Hangzhou is changing every day. We only hear about new people, but not the old ones..."
"Okay, thank you."
Qin Bai nodded and said goodbye. Seeing this, the old carpenter also prepared his tools. After all his men were in place, he was ready to go to Deyun Club to set up the stage.
Qin Bai couldn't help but be a little more interested in the theater in this thatched cottage. After thinking about it carefully, there was no need to find those famous actors of the year. After all, most of the scripts in the system were not very demanding.
A modern stage play like The Legend of White Snake is mainly about acting and improvisation.
He followed the location mentioned by the old carpenter. The place was indeed a bit remote and could be considered a suburb of the city.
Even Qin Bai searched for it for a long time. He thought it would be a beautifully decorated small building with several floors, but unexpectedly it turned out to be an open-air terrace.
There were only a few scattered people in the audience, all of them farmers facing the loess, and what was being performed on the stage was the drama of Farewell My Concubine.
To the spectators, Overlord's aura is not weak, but on such a simple stage, he simply cannot express his aura of carrying the tripod.
Yu Ji didn't look like a girl either. Even Qin Bai recognized her at a glance. She was probably a middle-aged man pretending to be her.
However, the process of this drama was meticulous. When the drama ended after the Overlord committed suicide by the river, the spectators in the audience applauded one after another.
"Thank you for your support."
Overlord cleared his throat and bowed on the stage to say hello, but the spectators were all miserable and naturally couldn't afford much money.
But even if it was just a few pennies, the two men still thanked them seriously.
When the spectators had almost left, Qin Bai stepped forward. He took out some money, probably dozens of taels, from his arms and placed it directly on the stage.
"this……"
Overlord was still hesitating whether to accept it, but Yu Ji simply took the money.
"Chen Jinwen has thanked you here. I'm afraid a big customer like you has other plans, right?"
Yu Ji took out a porcelain bottle with some vegetable oil in it. He carefully applied it on his face to remove the makeup.
If you are a celebrity, there will be a special cleansing oil, but it is really expensive.
"It's not that I have any agenda, I just want to invite you to the theater I open to play."
Hearing what Qin Bai said, the Overlord wanted to take the money from Chen Jinwen's hand and return it to him, but the latter refused.
"We people have no intention of getting involved in the fame and fortune disputes between theaters, so let's forget about the money."
"No, just accept the money, and I can guarantee..."
Qin Bai suddenly paused before he finished speaking. As Yu Ji's makeup faded, he saw that the Chen Jinwen in front of him seemed familiar, like Chen Haonan from Young and Dangerous.
This made him couldn't help but look at Overlord a few more times, and he saw another familiar face, this time it was Brother Crow.
Chen Jinwen and Chen Jinwen looked at each other. Qin Bai didn't look like a good person, and they couldn't help but feel fear.
Qin Bai made up his mind. Just by relying on his face to be reasonable, he would definitely become popular in acting.
"My dear Qin Bai, may I ask the overlord's name?"
"Uh...Niu Fuyun." This name does not suit Overlord.
"You two, although I opened a theater, the plays I perform are slightly different, so I won't be involved with other theaters. You can come and take a look first."
Just when Chen Jinwen was about to refuse, Qin Bai took out a booklet and handed it over. He took it and saw that it was a document for the election of people.
Both of them were a little confused. They originally thought that Qin Bai had something to do with the gang, but now they didn't expect that Qin Bai had the title of Juren.
"My theater is called Deyun Society, and it's right next to the county government office. If you think about it, you can come and have a look."
Seeing that both of them were a little moved, Qin Bai was not in a hurry to let them express their opinions, but gave them a time limit and left.
Chen Jinwen watched the opponent's back gradually disappear, and suddenly made up his mind: "If you don't seize such an opportunity, you can't just sing on this small stage for the rest of your life."
"But……"
"There's nothing good about it, good luck."
Chen Jinwen put away his costume and walked quickly towards a courtyard in the distance.
"Let's ask first. If we want to go, we should go together. We are all from martial arts backgrounds, and we also sing heroine dramas. How can we be afraid of a small theater?"
The two entered the large courtyard, where there were many wooden shelves with various costumes hanging to dry, while several people were practicing moves in the open space.
There are seven people living in the courtyard, all of whom are quite old. They usually take turns singing in the thatched cottage.
As soon as they put it all together, they didn't want to miss this rare opportunity, so they agreed to go and have a look.
One of them couldn't help but said: "But we look very fierce, I'm afraid we will cause trouble to Shopkeeper Qin, right?"
Chen Jinwen glanced at these various faces, and I am afraid that only Qin Bai can accept them.
"How could it be? It's true that Shopkeeper Qin has the reputation of being a scholar, but he doesn't look like a scholar from the outside. His situation is very similar to ours."
