It's not girl jiao'e

After many choices, Xu Yan finally chose "Si Fan" in this performance, and the famous movie "Farewell My Concubine" "I am a man but not a girl" is from "Nie Hai Ji. Si Fan" .

Kunqu Opera plays a very important role in the opera industry, one reason is that it is the type of opera on which actors are now based.The well-known artist Mei Lanfang once said that the singing and dancing features of Kunqu Opera are of great help to shaping the figure of an opera actor, making it standardized, smooth and graceful.

And "Nie Hai Ji. Si Fan" itself is a very complicated play, so Xu Yan chose this, not only to show his own ability, but also to better let everyone see the beauty of Kunqu Opera.

Of course, the choice of this play is also inseparable from Teacher Li's guidance. Originally, he wanted to play his famous play "The Palace of Eternal Life", because it would be more foolproof.But Mr. Li said that he has acted that play thousands of times, and it is difficult to make any changes. He acted very well, but there are some bright spots missing.

So I decided to play "Si Fan". The famous lines in Si Fan itself are well known to everyone. When the song plays and the body moves away, the voice will open up and sing the familiar words, which will definitely gain more favor.

After hearing this, Xu Yan felt that Teacher Li was worthy of being a teacher, but he wanted to be more thoughtful.So from then on, he practiced "Si Fan" seriously every day, just to avoid making the slightest mistake during the competition.

"Okay! Open your eyes and have a look," the makeup artist said softly.

This makeup artist is very famous in the industry. This time, he was also hired by the program group to do makeup for them. I heard that he has done makeup for many well-known stars and artists in the industry.

Although Kunqu opera makeup is not his specialty, it is not far behind.

The repertoire he will perform is about the little nun Sekong who was sick when she was young and was sent to Xiantao Nunnery by her parents.Sekong couldn't bear the lonely life of worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures, so he took out the nunnery privately.

This play is sung to the end by one person, with a heavy body and changeable postures. It is especially suitable for showing basic skills, and it also perfectly avoids the blessing of lighting and backup dancers for other people's performances.

He only needs one person to support the entire stage.

Xu Yan looked around and pointed out that the makeup on the eyes was not enough. Fortunately, although this makeup artist has a great background, an excellent person has his own excellence.Xu Yan was such a young brat who pointed out his shortcomings in front of so many people. Instead of getting angry, he studied hard with an open mind, and then asked Xu Yan a lot of questions about Kunqu Opera.

In fact, although he is a well-known person in the makeup industry, he is still a novice in the Kunqu opera industry. Although Xu Yan is not a makeup artist, he has long been familiar with the makeup and styling of Kunqu opera because of his day-to-day makeup performances all year round. By heart.

When Xu Yan first entered the garden when he was a child, in addition to learning steps, rounding the field, he also had to learn the performance of eyes and water sleeves. Of course, he couldn't escape learning all the knowledge about Kunqu Opera, including makeup and styling. They didn't allow a little mistake.

After the make-up artist finished the overall adjustment, he would like to praise Xu Yan for his good skin, because logically speaking, they use oil paint for makeup all the year round, which will cause great damage to the skin.But Kunqu Opera would not be Kunqu Opera if oil paint was not used.

While talking, he whispered, "Brother told you, I have put on makeup for many celebrities, and some of them have no makeup and their skin condition is far worse than yours!"

Xu Yan smiled and said nothing.

Two hours passed, Xu Yan's overall look was ready, and the makeup artist insisted on pulling him to take a photo.Xu Yan didn't refuse either, and smiled slightly, because the makeup on his face was too thick, and if he smiled too brightly, it would look ugly.

In the next time, Xu Yan had to wait to be called to the stage by the director team. He checked the time, and it was seven o'clock in the evening.According to the procedure given to him by the program group, it was just the opening time, and the host was warming up the show, driving the atmosphere of the audience.

The advantage of live broadcasting over recorded broadcasting is that no matter what, no mistakes are allowed.It will not be like recording and broadcasting. If you make a mistake, you have to start over.But the downside is that they only have one chance.

The few of them were voted according to the audience's love, the lowest one was the first one, and the highest one was the last one. In fact, this had certain advantages for Xu Yan.

Anyone who has participated in performance competitions knows that the last person can often impress everyone more. On the contrary, the closer the person is, the easier it is for people to forget the content of the competition.

The rule of this competition is that after each contestant has performed, the teacher will score, the audience will score, and the network will also score online.The three parties are combined together, and the rankings will be announced after everyone has finished performing.

The time passed minute by minute, and soon it was [-]:[-], and it was almost time for Xu Yan.The director team has come over and told him to get ready to play, and when the previous performance is over and the scores are scored, it will be him.

Xu Yan wasn't very nervous before, but the more he got to this time, the more he felt that he was really nervous, so he quickly drank several sips of water, in order to relieve his dry mouth and to moisten his throat.

He didn't dare to drink more water before because he was afraid of going to the toilet temporarily, but now he's fine, and he will be there soon anyway.After sitting for a while, Xu Yan felt that there was still no way to relieve it, so he simply stood up and opened his voice in the dressing room, singing a few lines.

The reason why Xu Yan was so nervous was not because he had to perform in front of so many people, but because although Li Yuan was also performing on stage, Li Yuan was his own territory, so he was more confident.But this time, there are not only so many audiences to face, but also several well-known artists.

One of the judges this time is a professional national-level opera artist, who is even higher than Mr. Li. He is over 70 years old. It took a lot of thought for the program team to invite him to come out.

At the thought of performing in front of him, Xu Yan felt a little guilty. He was afraid that if he did not perform well, he would make the old artist unhappy, and then he would really lose face of his teacher.

Finally, Xu Yan heard the director's team calling him to wait behind the scenes. The young lady from the director's team led him to the backstage, smiled and cheered him up, and made a cheering gesture.

Xu Yan thanked her, and then, as soon as the host finished speaking, he entered the stage.

After walking to the middle of the stage, all the lights shone on him. Xu Yan stood in the center of the stage. Behind him had changed from the brilliant stage lighting just now to a very ordinary stage appearance.

Maybe it was because he was not used to so many cameras and flashlights in front of him, as well as the lights on him, so Xu Yan took two seconds to get used to the lights.

In fact, they have rehearsed many times, but during the rehearsal, there are no instructors and audiences, only the stage and lights.

But Xu Yan still took a short breath to ease his emotions. Then, he bowed deeply to the audience and teachers in front of him, and said earnestly, "Everyone, judges and teachers, everyone, everyone! Well, what I am going to perform today is the most classic piece of Kunqu opera "Nie Hai Ji. Si Fan".

After finishing speaking, he saw the well-known old artist's eyes light up, and he sat up straight, as if he was very interested in this.

Xu Yan nodded to the music teacher Le who was sitting on both sides, indicating that he was ready.

The main musical instrument of Kunqu Opera is Xiaoguan, which is known as "the sound of Xiaoguan, soothing and graceful, elegant and clear, winning with rhyme and style".

When the music came together, all the people present fell silent instantly, and those who played with their mobile phones stopped playing, and quietly watched the performance of the person on the stage.

Everyone knows that opera culture is an intangible heritage of the country, but young people rarely come into contact with it.Especially because the opera drags on the libretto for a long time, young people have less patience to listen quietly.

Xu Yan started, walked up the stage, and spoke.

"Once upon a time, there was a Monk Mulian who rescued his mother from going to the gate of hell. May I ask how many roads are there in Lingshan? There are more than one hundred and eight thousand."

When he sang, only the sound of the song merged together in the audience, and everyone was watching his performance attentively, even the old artist couldn't help but nod in appreciation.
After the song was over and the scene was quiet for a few seconds, thunderous applause erupted, all using this to express their approval of Xu Yan's performance.

He smiled, seeing the effect of such a performance, no matter what the ranking is, at least he has spread the essence of the country to the whole country and even the world.

"Thank you everyone." Xu Yan bowed deeply again, especially bowing to the music teachers on both sides.

When he looked up, he suddenly realized that he saw a familiar figure on the front row of the auditorium
It's him
he came!
In just an instant, Xu Yan's eyes were all on him, and Shen Gu him unexpectedly came.

Because he didn't receive a reply message from him, Xu Yan thought he wouldn't come, but he didn't expect to see him in the auditorium, maybe because he was too nervous and didn't pay attention to it just now, seeing him now, he suddenly had an urge, I want to run into his arms and ask for a hug.

But because he was still on the stage, he had to restrain his excitement, which was even more exciting than him after the game!
Because Shen Gu watched his entire performance!

In fact, he had never performed Si Fan in Liyuan before, and it was Shen Xunchun who performed more.This is the first time he has performed Si Fan in a real sense, and it happened to be seen by Shen Gu, so he really felt it was worth it.

"Okay, thank you very much to our contestant No. 68, Xu Yan, for his performance of Kunqu opera. It's really amazing. Now there are still young people who are willing to learn and spread our national quintessence. It's really not easy! Now let's invite our judge teacher Let's rate it!" The host came up and said with a standard smile.
