Chasing dreams Deyun started from the car accident Fenhewan

Chapter 625 "Jumping Officials"

Time flies, more than a month has passed, and it will soon be the opening of the Jindu Deyun Club branch on May [-] Labor Day.

In the Jindu Democracy Theater, rehearsals were also in full swing at this time. One after another, a pair of comedians came on stage to perform, and the rest of the comedians sat in the auditorium to find fault.

Most of them are actors from Team Nine of Deyun Society. They used to be well-known crosstalk actors in Beijing and Tianjin. Although they know each other well, they suddenly became colleagues. We just met in Tianjin for half a month. , everyone is still more than polite, not enough friendship.

But there is no way, who asked Shen Changle as the captain to make such a rule, everyone is a judge, everyone must tell the shortcomings of others after watching the performance, and propose amendments.

Now it's all right, at the very beginning, everyone came forward to perform politely, and they all came to support each other, but as a result, Shen Changle was about to lose his temper as he talked and talked, and there was no way for everyone to slow down. They all spoke the truth.

As a result, one after another, the cross talk actors were all good actors with names and surnames outside, who is not arrogant and arrogant, and he was proud of his work, but was told by others that he seemed to be nothing. Slowly All of them are full of fire in their stomachs.

When sitting in the auditorium in the future, others will not be so euphemistic when they talk about it, and everyone will start to speak fiercely.

Immediately, the people who were talking on the stage stopped doing it, and the cross talk didn't go on after finishing talking, and they started to battle with the "judges" in the audience.

After further development, it gradually turned into a fierce debate. No one can convince anyone. Everyone feels that their own ideas and performance style are correct.

At this time, Shen Changle, the black hand behind the scenes, was sitting behind the auditorium, laughing alone.

"Chang Le, are you rehearsing or are you shrews cursing? You don't care, I'm going to fight after a while???" A lively worry said.

"Hey, it's okay, godfather, the cross talk actors I'm looking for are all good actors, and they haven't known each other for many years like us Deyun club students. It's too natural to perform on the same stage now. I'm letting you They don't know each other without arguing, and after arguing and arguing, everyone will become acquainted, so that they can cultivate their relationship as soon as possible."

Shen Changle looked back at the lively scene on the stage and said with a smile, and then saw a man beside Guo Taoer.

"You are... Teacher Zhang Ke!!!"

"It's me, you are Shen Changle, right? Li Shengsu's disciple, heir of the Mei School." Zhang Ke smiled and said politely.

"Oh, you are too polite, you can just call me Chang Le." Shen Changle hurriedly held Zhang Ke's hand with both hands and bowed.

Guo Tao'er smiled and said: "Hahaha! It seems that I don't need my introduction this time, you two are traveling together."

Shen Changle said with a smile: "How could I not know Mr. Zhang Ke? In the early years, he paid homage to Cheng Zhengtai, Tan Yuanshou, Ma Changli and Hong Kong famous ticket Ding Cunkun and many other famous teachers at the same time. He is the most outstanding old student of the Yang School of Peking Opera today."

"One, one, I don't dare to be the best." Zhang Ke waved his hand and laughed.

"You are too modest." Shen Changle praised.

"No, no, now that the Peking Opera industry is dying, I can only be regarded as a general without a general in Sichuan, and Liao Hua is a pioneer. In fact, Chang Le is the one who is outstanding." Zhang Ke gave a thumbs up.

"Last Spring Festival, some of my apprentices came to my house to chat with me and even told me about you. Their words were full of appreciation. Your existence is even more powerful than ten of me in the promotion and publicity of our Peking Opera. , just for the small Peking Opera troupe here in Jindu, their monthly income and attendance are more than [-]% higher than before."

"In addition, the number of applicants for drama majors such as Shanghai Opera and Chinese Opera has also increased a lot this year. This is all because of your influence among young people."

Shen Changle waved his hands again and again as if flattered and said: "No, no, actually I did something within my power. Peking opera is now full of wine and fear of deep alleys. The most I can do is advertise more outside."

"The only thing that can attract the audience is the strength of your Beijing opera seniors, and the attractiveness of Peking opera itself."

"Okay, okay, let me interrupt the business bragging between the two of you first, Chang Le, I will test you first, what do you think I invited Boss Zhang Ke here this time?" It was a little helpless for the two of them to talk more and more vigorously, so they quickly turned the topic on the right track.

Shen Changle looked at Zhang Ke, who was not keeping his words secret, and then at Guo Taoer, who had a smug expression on his face. After thinking for a while, he already had the answer in his heart and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, Boss Zhang, you are being moved by my godfather." Dajia, will you perform "Jiaojiaguan" when the branch of Jindu Deyun Club opens?"

"Hahahahaha that's right, look at it and I'll say that this question will definitely not be difficult for him." Zhang Ke affirmed with a loud laugh.

Guo Tao'er felt helpless at this moment and said: "My good guy, nothing can stop you. It's really rare that there are young people who really know about "Jumping Officials" among the young people nowadays."

Shen Changle said: "This is when I happened to be chatting with Master, and I got to know a little bit about it."

This "Jiaojiaguan" is also an ancient traditional art form. Usually, before the opening of important dramas, a Nuo (nuo) dance will be performed, which is also a kind of Nuo culture.

It is a kind of folk dance that is widely spread in various places and has the functions of expelling ghosts, expelling epidemics and offering sacrifices. This kind of culture has formed a fixed pattern as early as the early Qing Dynasty. Accompanied by this traditional gong guy.

The protagonist is called Tianguan. In Taoist culture, there are three emperors. The Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month in the traditional festival is the day when Tianguan blesses.

July [-]th is the forgiveness of sins by local officials, and October [-]th is the relief of water officials. In this ceremony of "Jumping to Officials", the main way of expression is that the actors wear smiling masks with black beards on a white background. Wear a festive red Jiaguan python (boa robe).

During the whole solo dance process, there are no libretto and chanting, but the performance is performed by unfolding banners while dancing. Most of the words written on the banners are auspicious and good-looking words, similar to blessings from heavenly officials, increasing official positions, and getting promoted step by step. , to attract wealth and treasure, to be the king, to play cards and so on...

The main purpose is to express blessings and welcome to the audience before the main show, but for the current society, in fact, it is also a publicity and display of ancient traditional culture.

You must know that in 2006, the Nuo Dance was approved by the State Council and was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, but now it can be seen before the opening performance of the Jindu Deyun Society Branch. To sum it up in two words - exquisite.
