Chapter 398 Is this a day of learning?

Farewell My Concubine?

This story, even young people are very familiar,
I was also very moved by the love story between King Chu and Concubine Yu.

But Farewell My Concubine in Peking Opera, most people have never heard or watched it.

When the host announced the curtain, he didn't say who the performer was.
After reporting the name of the repertoire, drums and gongs and erhu all went into battle.

Then I saw a big painted face coming to the stage with a sword in hand,
As the accompaniment reached the intense point, eight people came out from behind the curtains on both sides one by one,
Its appearance is Wuhualian, but the makeup is not as exquisite as the big painted face,
The Overlord of Chu even has a special name for his appearance, called Wushuanglian.

One widow, one congregation,

One looks exquisite and mighty, and the other looks simple and vicious,
Comparing the appearances of the two sides, even if they don't say it, the audience knows that the few are the overlord of Chu, and the many are the soldiers and young generals.

The two sides dance on the stage and play sticks, you come and go,

Afterwards, the Overlord of Chu was besieged by eight people. After a few rounds of fierce fighting, he repelled the invading enemy.

The Overlord of Chu was playing sword and dancing solo on the stage, and it was the curtain call and exit.

In this short section, there is only a display of figure, without any aria,
There is also no chanting, and the intensity of the war is expressed entirely by the intensity of the accompaniment.

This caused the gong to be very loud and extremely noisy.

The audience's ears exploded, and they were a little impatient.

This opening show, nothing is shown,
Just a simple war scene.

And the person who performed Chu Ba Wang put on heavy makeup, even though the stage lights were bright,
However, the auditorium is far away from the stage, and no one told the audience who the Chu Bawang performer is.
So that when he exited, the applause was sparse.

But these are not things. As a director of variety shows, Niu Min has a lot of experience in this area.
Applause and cheers can be added in the later stage. Anyway, all David TVs do this.

Only Que Zhiman, who was waiting quietly in the backstage observation room to appear, saw Zhong Liang's good figure through the TV screen, and he definitely worked hard.

When Zhong Liang left the stage, Que Zhiman exclaimed: "Is this really Mr. Zhong?"

There was no one else in the observation room, only she and Tang Zhenguo were left,
Mei Qiubai was getting ready to go on stage, after Zhong Liang called the curtain call,
Concubine Yu, played by Mei Qiubai and Da Tsing Yi, took the stage next.

Tang Zhenguo: "It must be. Such a big stage, can you still fool you? It's not a show, this is recording a program, and you will face hundreds of millions of audiences across the country in the future."

Que Zhiman shook his head, with a look of disbelief: "Impossible, Mr. Zhong can have this figure after studying opera with Qiu Bai for a day? Has he never studied opera before?"

Tang Zhenguo: "Then I don't know, I only know that I only learned opera from Master Mei for a day. It's shocking, right? But it's not his skill, the lyrics he wrote are the best."

In his opinion, the lyrics written by Zhong Liang are a kind of poetry.

But it's only him, and other people's writing doesn't count.

Que Zhiman: "Writing lyrics can't compare with singing opera, singing opera is much more difficult than writing lyrics."

Hey, you say it again?
For other matters, Tang Zhenguo was very calm and never disputed.

But when it comes to poetry, he says nothing.

Who else understands better than him that poetry is hard to come by?

Tang Zhenguo is generally grumpy: "Writing lyrics is more difficult than singing."

"You..." Que Zhiman waved his hands impatiently, "Forget it, I won't argue with you."

Tang Zhenguo was extremely persistent in this matter: "Whether it is disputed or not, what I say is the truth."

Que Zhiman: "..."

She was speechless, not understanding that the old man, in such matters,

Why are you so stubborn, you have to fight with a woman like her.

Zhong Liang left the stage, and the second curtain slowly opened,

Concubine Yu played by Mei Qiubai appeared on the stage.

At this time, the audience finally exclaimed,
"Wow, is this Yu Ji? It's so beautiful."

"This is a contemporary Tsing Yi, isn't it beautiful?"

"It feels pretty good, much better than the opening."

"Yeah, it's great to sing directly, the opening is too boring, I don't know what to play."

……

The four mentors of the original Guofeng program, the audience has all known them one by one,

Even if she doesn't like to listen to opera, she still knows that the concubine Yu on stage is played by Mei Qiubai.

At this time, the accompaniment is not so noisy, the erhu is the main tune,
When I heard it, I knew that Yuji was going to sing.

"Since I fought with the king,

Weathered and toiled year after year
Hate only hate the Wudao Qin for ruining lives

......"

"it is good!!!"

Even if you have never heard of the play,
Hearing this voice, he almost knelt down.

The voice is too smooth, extremely dramatic,
It's not like those pop singers who can be compared by singing a line or two in a song.

After the comparison, the superior and inferior will be judged.

Of course, Zhong Liang is not counted among pop singers,

He is a heavenly singer.

Looking at his figure, it is also extremely beautiful.

Concubine Yu took a seat on the phoenix chair, and the Overlord of Chu appeared afterward.

From behind the scenes to the front stage, take seven steps to the side of the stage,
Overlord returns to camp and takes seven steps.

He's just come back from the battle, whip in hand,

"The gun picked several generals in the Han camp

How brave can the enemy be buried on all sides
The general ordered Xiu to send troops and return to the camp
......"

"This accent is too nice to hear!"

Que Zhiman in the observation room couldn't sit still anymore,

Who wants to tell her that Zhong Liang only studied opera for one day,

She's going to beat that man to death.

This is completely impossible!
Zhong Liang's singing voice is not only thick and thick, but also very good in singing.

Not at all stiff.

Tang Zhenguo chuckled and said, "It sounds good. But he is a songwriter, not an opera singer."

Come again, can't make it through?
Que Zhiman felt that Tang Zhenguo was being childish,

I was still not convinced by what she just said.

Simply ignore him and continue to concentrate on watching the TV.

The part where the overlord goes back to the camp, and the part where he drinks is directly connected to the part where Yu Ji dances her sword and kills herself.

If you want to sing all of them, an hour is not enough,

It can only be reduced to present the wonderful story fragments.

And it mainly presents Concubine Yu played by Mei Qiubai, who is the main character. After all, the protagonist in the first scene is him

If Zhong Liang's performance is too much, it will be a bit overwhelming.

This made Que Zhiman regret that he didn't hear more of Zhong Liang's singing,
He sang very well, not at all inferior to those children who have learned opera since childhood,

"When he comes back, I'll have to ask if it's true that I only learned opera from Qiu Bai for a day. If it's true, then this talent is too heaven-defying. Mr. Zhong's performance completely disfigured Tonghammer's face." The essence of it all came out, which is amazing."

Soon, it was time for Yu Ji to slay herself with her sword, so as not to drag down the overlord of Chu.

Mei Qiubai's figure is the most beautiful Que Zhiman has ever seen,

Every movement is quite stable, and it is completely impossible to see that he is showing his feet.
It really showed the female etiquette of that era: smile without showing your teeth, walk without showing your feet, pace only an inch, and keep your hands on your chest.

There is a reason why it can be called the contemporary Tsing Yi.

The hands are really kung fu.

But now some celebrity entertainers completely abandon these etiquettes when performing Yu Ji's sword dance.
Lively turned Yu Ji, a classical beauty, into a modern dancer.
