Entertainment Dad: A father sings the whole school!

Chapter 260 The Past and Present of Peking Opera!
The back hall of the Opera Association.

The spacious room is furnished in an antique style.

The surrounding environment is elegant and quiet, and the enclosure is excellent.

This is the "classroom" that Mei Yuhan arranged for Tang Yu and Shi Yunxiang.

Afterwards, the faint voice continued to sound, and began to count the long history of Beijing opera.

"Peking opera originated in the pre-Qing period and has a history of only two hundred years. However, it is the most influential and most famous local opera in the Dragon Kingdom. It has always enjoyed the reputation of national opera!"

"Gain Beijing Opera has grown and grown at the foot of the former imperial city. Since the first four Anhui troupes entered Beijing, they have been taking advantage of the convenience of the location to continuously integrate the directors of various schools, such as absorbing some repertoires and tunes of Kunqu Opera and Qin Opera. and performance methods, and it also incorporates singing styles such as Huangmei Opera and Han Tune.”

"Its main expression methods are singing, doing, reading, and fighting, which are also the four basic skills that cannot be cut off every day!"

"At the beginning of the origin of Beijing Opera, there was an old theory of seven elements and seven divisions. The seven elements are Shengxing, Danxing (also known as Zhanxing), Jingxing, Ugly, Miscellaneous, Martial Arts, and Popularity!"

"But through generations of ancestors simplifying the complex and simplifying, removing the rough and extracting the essence..."

"Now it's only divided into the four major trades of life, dan, clean and ugliness!"

"According to the gender, personality, age, occupation and social status of the roles played, they are divided one by one."

"Therefore, every character in more than a hundred plays can be classified in the four major genres, and then some artistic exaggeration in makeup and costumes is added.

"Compared with other operas, the singing voices of Peking Opera are also more complex, and can be roughly divided into two categories: Erhuang and Xipi. Erhuang Er is generally more calm and steady, concise and serious, while Xipi is the opposite, with a high-pitched, vigorous, lively style! "

"In terms of pronunciation skills, there are many projects in Beijing Opera. There are five basic methods of real voice, false voice, left voice, hanging voice, and shouting voice. Houyin, Huangqiang, Tazhong, Gatiao and other methods..."

Shi Yunxiang sat upright on the grand teacher's chair, talking incessantly, and when he was tired, he picked up the jug and sipped wine to moisten his throat.

For more than half an hour, the old man counted out the historical origins of Peking Opera, the techniques of tunes, and various repertoires one by one.

This kind of meticulous and gentle teaching method is like breaking pieces into pieces and feeding them into Tang Yu's mouth.

No matter how stupid a person is, he can hear clearly, and grasp the meaning to a close degree.

Tang Yu sat on one side in a regular manner, with a serious expression, listening mesmerizingly.

"What I just said is just some of the most basic knowledge points."

"If you want to sing Beijing opera well, you need to know about it!"

"Unexpectedly, the old ghost Qin was in a hurry to give you a little trouble, but he didn't have time to tell you the most basic things?"

Hearing this, Tang Yu nodded honestly and said with a smile:

"You really predict things like a god!"

"At that time, I learned from Mr. Qin, that is, in order to perform on stage, I temporarily hugged Buddha's feet for two days."

"Even if you know some drama, you just know what it is, but you don't know why."

Shi Yunxiang showed a natural look, and hummed:
"nonsense!"

"If you learn opera for two or three days, you will be able to enter the classroom..."

"Then what do we old guys do? From now on, it's all up to you to stand on the platform!"

Shi Yunxiang complained harshly.

Tang Yu chuckled, knowing that what the old man said was very reasonable.

Anything that has developed to a certain level has its tricks.

Even the small shop selling fried belly across the street is said to be passed down from eight generations of ancestors, with a unique secret recipe...

How many twists and turns should there be in the Longguo opera that has been passed down for thousands of years?
Without the guidance of a real famous teacher, ordinary people would spend their whole life trying to get in, and they would not be able to see the way.

"The old man has already introduced to you before, the two major styles of Beijing opera, and a dozen or so vocal skills."

"But if you only want to learn my Shi family's male and female voices, but you don't have to practice them all from beginning to end, it will take at least ten years of effort..."

"Right now, I only teach you the sipi accent, and the three methods of the back of the head, the cloud covering the moon, and the falling alto. When you master it skillfully, with your talent, you will be able to master everything else!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Yunxiang patted the carved armrest of the grand master's chair, and slowly got up.

Two touches of rich light suddenly emerged from his slightly cloudy Danfeng eyes!

Shi Yunxiang opened and closed his lips, and his voice was as clear as a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, with a strong dantian air:

"Hey--"

"Hey—"

at the same time.

Mei Yuhan picked up the landline on the table and quickly dialed Qin Xiuhuai's number:

"Brother Qin, guess who I met at the headquarters of our association today?"

When speaking, Mei Yuhan was smiling, with a bit of mystery in his tone.

"Who?"

"Could it be that boy Tang Yu went to the association to ask for advice?"

Qin Xiuhuai on the hospital bed was holding the mobile phone, and fiddled with the TV remote control with the other hand.

"Hey, you're only half right!"

Mei Yuhan had sold enough of Guanzi, and shouted like an annunciation:

"Shi Yunxiang also followed!"

"Tell me, isn't today a great event!"

Hearing this, Old Master Qin who was lazily leaning against the bed was startled and sat up:
"What? You said that old alcoholic is willing to come to the association?"

With a sincere smile on Mei Yuhan's face, she was overjoyed and said:

"Yes! Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Tang Yu, he really made a great contribution to the association!"

"Brother Shi is willing to reappear on the stage, maybe in my lifetime... I will have the honor to watch you two play on the same stage again!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Qin Xiuhuai's face darkened, and he said coldly:
"Hmph, what is right and wrong, don't bring up the past again!"

Hearing this, Mei Yuhan was taken aback, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, but Qin Xiuhuai said again:

"You wait for me there, I'll come right away!"

……

As the double masterpiece of Beijing opera in the past, the only remaining inheritor of the modern singing style in the world!
Shi Yunxiang's own skills have long been perfected, and it can be said that he is not inferior to Qin Xiuhuai, the opera master.

As soon as the play was over, Shi Yunxiang was sweating all over his body, and his clothes were slightly wet, but his breath control was as firm as Mount Tai.

In front of him, Tang Yu was sitting upright, with his back straight and his face full of unsatisfactory expressions.

He seems to have not recovered from Shi Yunxiang's wonderful performance just now.

Although, now Shi Yunxiang didn't draw facial makeup, only wearing ordinary clothes.

But when he was singing just now, every move of his hands and every gesture of his feet seemed to be integrated with the characters in the play.

In particular, the crisp and gorgeous singing, with thousands of repetitions, is really even more beautiful than a woman singing in person.

Through this play, Tang Yu can see it.

Even after saying goodbye to the stage for more than [-] years, the old man's attainment in opera has not regressed at all, but has become more and more diligent like Mr. Qin, and he has reached the state of perfection!

Presumably, for more than 30 years, Shi Yunxiang has been practicing diligently in private, and has never stopped for a day.
