Beishi Baza Street, Oriental Broadway, Futang Theater
As the sun went down, Song Siyuan finally invited her parents to the teahouse after a lot of hard work. However, they did not want to be extravagant and did not let the theater prepare. They only went to the theater as spectators.
The car crossed Fengtian City and stopped in front of Baza Street. The sign of Oriental Broadway came into view in the distance. The beautiful and seductive movie girls were gracefully outlined by the light box pictures. Even in the daytime, you can feel the busy traffic and neon lights here.
Among the many shops dotted here, there is a magnificent courtyard!
This square courtyard is located in the shade of rich greenery, like a button inlaid into the straight road. As long as you go near the alley, you can always find the atmosphere of the old Shengjing city!
In front of the courtyard, a plaque with the name "Futang Theater" on the double-eaves theater building is hung with red background and gold paint, giving it a free and easy style.
There is a waiter on each side of the theater, sitting behind the table selling and checking tickets. There are pictures of Lou Yunxian in costume hanging on both sides of the wall.
Everyone checked their tickets and entered, and were quickly welcomed into the box by the theater waiter!
Yue Guanchao looked inside the grand theater. Futang Theater is the largest theater in Fengtian. With Lou Yunxian's reputation, the decoration is even more magnificent, gorgeous and exquisite!
The theater building on each side has three floors. The lobby on the first floor has ordinary seats, which can be watched by ordinary people and ordinary people. The corridors with carved windows and elegant rooms and single pavilions on the second and third floors are specially designed for wealthy and idle people. They cannot be booked unless they are reserved by the powerful.
He sat in the elegant cabin on the south side and looked around.
The second and third floors of this theater, which is slightly larger than the square, are already full. There are people in mandarin jackets and melon hats, flag heads and flowers, oiled heads and powdered noodles, formal dresses, and many foreign men and women in straight military uniforms. It can be said that there are all kinds of dignitaries gathered here.
The highlight is still on the stage!
The stage is spacious in all directions and built in the middle with its back to the north wall. It is covered with gold paint, carved railings and painted pillars, and has complex caissons. There is no open space outside the stage. Canals are dug to bring clear water into the pool, just like the pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River facing water on three sides. There are many magnificent jade trees and maples in the pool.
The roof of the building is specially made clear of the sky. When the moon comes out, it will definitely be thrown into the pool. It feels like the tower is shining on the water and the moon's shadow is whirling.
When the octagonal palace lantern shines, it is just like the golden maple and jade dew reflecting each other, which is worth countless things in the world.
"Brother, why haven't I seen any water outside the stage?"
Yue Erpao was drinking tea. He had never seen such a gorgeous theater before. They used to watch theater in the countryside, and it was considered luxurious if it had a curtain. To him, the theater in front of him was a beautiful palace.
"Stop talking. This thing is called a waterside theater. Usually only wealthy families have it. The Fengjian family has this kind of theater, but it was ruined by the war."
"Why don't I remember?"
"You weren't out yet at that time."
The conversation between the two Yue brothers made Song Siyuan burst into laughter:
"You two are so interesting. Why didn't Boss Niu invite you to tell stories?"
Just as she was about to continue talking and joking, the door of the private room was pushed open, and an old man in a melon hat and silk robe walked in.
"Master Jin?"
Song Zhencheng stood up and gestured towards him.
Later, Mrs. Jin walked in with her flag-headed flower comb and a golden jade flag. She met Gu Shunyi, and the two of them put their foreheads on their foreheads, waved their hands, and bowed slightly, which was regarded as their respective greetings.
"Foreign Minister Song, it's because of my ignorance that I almost bumped into your son's daughter. Fortunately, it was a small fight, but don't take it too seriously."
Mr. Jin has been able to live a stable life from the previous dynasty to the present because he is an old fox with deep knowledge in the city. Song Zhencheng has been in foreign countries for decades, and he has already seen the changes. They both understood it and neither of them mentioned what happened yesterday. Between the masters' moves, A tacit understanding has been reached.
"That's right, it's just a misunderstanding. Just explain it clearly and listen to the show carefully, so as not to waste your theater tickets."
"Okay, then I won't bother you."
The Jin family and the Song family have been chatting for a while, and the fun is finally about to begin.
On the stage, the harps, the sheng, the bangs and the drums were played, and the melodious music gradually filled the ears.
"Please~Show me~ The ice wheel on the island is turning for the first time and is making sounds, and the jade rabbit is turning east again and making sounds. The ice wheel is leaving the island, the universe is extremely bright, and the bright moon is in the sky, which is exactly where Chang'e is leaving the moon palace~"
The wonderful sound is like music, and Lou Yunxian enters the stage slowly.
Look closely, you will see that this character is wearing a red rust robe, a harem, a emerald phoenix crown with tassels on his head, the petals on his temples are inlaid with red treasures, his black hair is slanted and weeping willows, the crown is shining, and there are gold hairpins all over it. He is walking gracefully and gracefully under the guidance of the maids. Come.
The movement of the orchid finger is an unparalleled elegance.
For a moment, the bright wheel came to the pond, just like the spirit of the imperial concubine came to visit. She took a slow drink in the Huayue Pavilion and looked at the lonely shadow of the moon. She really looked like a divine concubine and a fairy!
Yue Guanchao looked at Yue Erpao, his eyes widened. He didn't know what the pervert was thinking.
Mrs. Song picked up her glasses and looked at the stage. She admired Lou Yunxian's performance and praised:
"Ever since the Hui Troupe came to Beijing, singing, chanting, and fighting have become a child's skill. Hands, eyes, body, and steps are the only way to become an actor. This girl's singing, lyrics, body, and rhyme are so good that she can even play the role of a noble concubine. No wonder he is a well-known actor in the opera world recognized in the north. His song "The Drunken Concubine" is famous in the three eastern provinces, but he has suffered a lot behind the scenes."
"Pity!"
"What's a pity?"
Song Siyuan looked at her, and Gu Shunyi's eyes were obviously filled with regret!
