In the years when Fengtian became a success, its related industries naturally developed rapidly. Fengtian began to build theaters in succession, and the land price soared. For a time, nearly ten large and small theaters were built in Fengtian City only because of the performance needs, and three large theaters were built on less than 2, square meters of land in the North Market. In 192, with the participation of many shareholders, such as He Fuchen and Li Dongying, organized by opera fan Gao Jingshan (nicknamed Gao Xiaobian), Fengtian Yongda real estate developer built a "Luozi Garden" in the North Market, and named it "Daguan Tea Garden" (now called Liaoning Youth Theater). In 1924, they transformed the original wooden shed into a two-story building with brick and wood structure, which could accommodate more than 8 spectators, making it the largest franchised Luozi Garden in Fengtian at that time.
In p>1932, Daguan Tea Garden was rebuilt and renamed Daguanlou. In 1948, the drama evaluation group of the Northeast Literary Association took over the "Daguanlou" and named it "Tangshan Review Theater". In the vicinity of some theaters, relevant intermediary service agencies have appeared. For example, in the 193s, the North Market established the "Honesty Inn", which not only lived for the late-stage actors, but also handled business matters such as performances and shifts for them, and was called the "Opera Shop". Wang Hengtai Opera House, which moved to the North Market that year, not only manages the general products, but also produces costumes and playsets locally, and also works for the late-stage actors.
Bai Yushuang, an early pingju artist
After Fengtian Luozi's performance was recognized by the society, watching and listening to Luozi became the "fashion" at that time. Record manufacturing companies are eager to invite famous musicians to make records, and EMI has made the most records. Xiao Guihua went to Dalian to record for the first time, which was recommended by the shopkeeper of Jishun Silk House, one of the largest firms in Fengtian Middle Street. He is a loyal audience of Xiao Guihua. "EMI" management personnel are southerners, and they are still very unfamiliar with Xiazi. At first, they only invited Li Jinshun and Xi Cailian, but they didn't know Xiao Guihua's name. When the shopkeeper of Jishun Silk House knew about it, he felt aggrieved for Xiao Guihua and said to the manager of EMI: "Xiao Guihua is a famous girl, and it is a pity that she is missing her." "EMI" had to ask Xiao Guihua to try it first and prepare her to make two films. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Guihua opened her mouth, "EMI" immediately changed her plan and poured four pieces for her. The manager of EMI was so impressed by Xiao Guihua's singing that he invited her to record at Columbia Company in Tokyo, Japan. In the second year, Xiao Guihua went to Tokyo and made twelve tablets at one go. Since then, Xiao Guihua's records have spread in China, expanding the influence of Xiao Guihua. EMI signed a contract with Xiao Guihua to record every three years. At that time, Bai Yushuang, Xiao Mahong, Hibiscus, Xi Cailian, Liu Cuixia, Liu Hongxia, Liu Yanxia, Wang Jinxiang, Yu Lingzhi and so on were also frequently recorded.

The movie "Begonia Red" starring Bai Yushuang
The cast-off actors participate in the filming of traditional Chinese opera films, and sometimes they see it. In 193s, Bai Yushuang filmed the Pingju "Begonia Red" in Shanghai, playing the No.1 figure, Begonia Red, and the other supporting actors were all influential film actors. There was talk and singing in the play, and the audience listened to the commentary and watched the story. The film caused a sensation throughout the country. The media called Bai Yushuang a "movie star", "queen of pingju" and "master of pingju". Shanghai "Tianyi" Film Company also invited Hibiscus to shoot the film "Du Shiniang".
Falling-behind actors have also entered the ranks of advertising, and many businesses have begun to promote their products with the help of famous actors. Xiao Guihua became popular in Harbin, and the audience was very supportive of her. The clothes she wore in some fashion plays and clean clothes plays, which were made of imported linen, leather and foreign cloth, were unique and elegant, and the audience rushed to imitate them, which set off a "new fashion trend of Xiao Guihua". It is all the rage, which makes many firms' hemp cloth out of stock. At the same time, the "Xiao Guihua Li Jing" produced by merchants has also become a hot commodity. In the market, cream, soap and socks with trademarks and brands named after Bai Yushuang's name and image have become hot items; Calendar cards printed with Li Jinshun and hibiscus flowers are also particularly popular.
