As one of the largest puppet cities in China, Mirror City is naturally in the forefront of the development of dolls in all aspects, and the most famous is the Rose Puppet Troupe, which is a troupe that has performed in front of the emperor and has been appreciated in China, so that there are few troupes The Rose Puppet Troupe is one of the most famous.There are a lot of people, and every visitor is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and at first glance he is a nobleman, because only nobles have the money to watch the puppet show, and Mo Yan is one of the few exceptions.Mo Yan and Huai were still dressed in civilian attire, they had never deliberately dressed up, and people in such costumes were particularly conspicuous at the entrance of the theater, and if it was someone else, they would have been driven away long ago."
Ah, Master Mo Yan, how come you have time to watch the puppet show today" One of the theater directors who stood at the door to personally entertain the nobles, a fat man named Lakin, immediately ran over when he saw Mo Yan, his face was full of flattery.In the face of Larkin's enthusiasm, Mo Yan is accustomed to it, since his reputation is outside, there are not many such people, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am a little craftsman who brought my sister to see the performance, I hope you don't dislike it" "How could it be Master Mo Yan, it is really our supreme honor to come in person, please inside" Larkin personally led the way for Mo Yan, so that many nobles who came to watch the performance on the side were very puzzled."
Who is that person" "What don't you know, it's Master Mo Yan, a senior puppet master" "What a vulgar civilian outfit doesn't look like a master, did you meet a liar" "Hehe, don't you guess, you don't know, those sages, masters or something are not like this" "That's right, fortunately, I'm not a master sage, I can't stand the hard life of a civilian every day" "Lazy, forget it, hurry up and get in, today is a performance once a month, it's a pity to miss it" Under the leadership of Larkin, Mo Yan and Huai came to a private room, saying that the private room was actually just a seat on the second floor, and there was no theater in this era that could sit in a private room that really concealed their identity.As soon as Mo Yan sat down, a businessman wearing a gold ring on the opposite side gave Mo Yan a kind smile and beckoned, this person is one of Mo Yan's customers, naturally, Mo Yan also replied with courtesy, the distance between the two is very far away and it is not suitable for conversation, so they did not say much, and they all cast their eyes on the high stage of the performance.Huai glared at the businessman opposite fiercely, then pouted and said: "What a nasty guy, why is my brother still doing business with him" Mo Yan smiled helplessly and touched her head and said: "Isn't it just a doll that ruins a puppet, it's not a big deal" "That's what my brother gave me" Huai said angrily, Mo Yan smiled: "He is one of the sources of our economy, we are going to eat" "Hmph" Huai stopped talking.There are only six private rooms on the second floor, and in each room are people with noble status, Mo Yan thinks that he stands out from the crowd, Mo Yan thinks so, but others are not, a puppet master is not small in this world, compared to some nobles, this is why so many people yearn for the title of puppet master, this is one of the ways for commoners to rely on their own ability rather than family inheritance to become nobles.Mo Yan still remembered that some time ago, His Majesty the King also sent someone to send him a badge, which was his own badge, and the identity of the nobleman was officially recognized, although he was a nobleman with no fief and no military power, but no one would underestimate him.Below are rows of seats, also noble, but their status is very different from the people in the private room.Every performance of the Rose Doll Troupe was full, without exception, and this time, of course, it was also a black and pressed area full of people, 18 In fact, there was no such high-end thing as electric lights at the beginning, but it did not hinder the light source.There are more than a dozen huge candle chandeliers on the roof, which makes the whole theater very bright, although it is not as bright as natural light.The bright red curtain slowly opened, and the first thing that appeared was a middle-aged man with a neatly dressed and extraordinary bearing, who was the leader of the Rose Doll Troupe.He first greeted everyone before saying with a smile: "I am fortunate to have you here today, this is the honor of our Rose Puppet Troupe, I won't say much, but there is an important thing that must be explained now" People who have come to see it a few times know that the performance of the Rose Puppet Troupe rarely says superfluous words, but today the head of the troupe wants to say an important thing, and everyone unconsciously listened carefully."
Today we are fortunate to get the genius puppet master Mo Yan, and the work of Master Donald, the puppets made by the two puppet masters will be performed together on today's stage" As soon as the words of the head of the troupe came out, this group of nobles with noble education suddenly made a quiet noise, and it is very rare to see the work of a master on a stage, let alone the masterpieces of two masters appearing on the same stage at the same time.The leader of the Rose Doll Group smiled proudly when he saw everyone's performance, he had a lot of blood to get these two dolls, and it was worth it to get this scene."
Then let's enjoy the warmth of the puppet show" The head of the troupe walked off the stage, the curtain slowly opened, and the first to appear was a puppet girl dressed very different from the current era, wearing a round hat made of hay, and her white slender arms could not see the gap between the joints of the puppet at all, and it looked like a real human girl, which was very surprising, and then an old man appeared, with a white beard and a civilian costume very different from the girl, But the old man's production is also very amazing, the spell on his face and the slightly dry skin are completely indistinguishable from the real person.The aristocrats in the audience forgot the etiquette they had learned for many years for a while, and they all made a loud noise, looking at the two dolls on the stage with wide eyes full of incredulity, as if they wanted to rush up to feel whether the two puppets were real people.The merchant sitting opposite Mo Yan had grown up and couldn't speak, he slowly looked at Mo Yan who was sitting opposite, his eyes flashed with bright brilliance, and he called the waiter behind him to whisper something to order something, and then the waiter bowed and left the private room.Although there was a commotion, the nobles still had self-control, but after a few seconds of noise, they quieted down, and looked at the stage one by one."
Master Mo Yan, someone is looking for you" Mo Yan patted Huai's head after hearing the waiter's words and said, "You watch me deal with things first" Huai nodded, but his eyes did not move away from the stage at all, Mo Yan smiled and turned around, in the slightly dark private room, the corners of Mo Yan's mouth raised a magnitude, "hooked", using exquisite works to enhance their value, this is the usual technique of artists, but if you give your proud works to businessmen, you can also increase the value, but it will definitely be lowered, But if you hand it over to a third party, such as a theater troupe, it's much more valuable than a businessman personally evaluating the improvement
