Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 78 New Colleagues

theoretical research?Experimental troupe?
Intensively study the theory, use the results of theoretical research to do experiments, innovate opera, and let opera rejuvenate with fresh vitality.

This way is quite feasible.

The Opera Research Institute has really come here. If we learn more, our Lou Opera Troupe may also try to develop in this way.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's true that people can't be judged by their appearance!

Unexpectedly, Meng Fanzhi, Director Meng, was so far-sighted and ambitious.

After pondering for a while, Shen Yuelou could not help but chuckled and said to Meng Fanzhi: "Then Yuelou will go to intensively study the theory of opera first, and after he has a general understanding of the ins and outs of Peking Opera, then go to the experimental theater troupe in the institute.

Shen was also very curious about the experimental theater troupe that Director Meng mentioned. "

Hearing Shen Yuelou's words, Meng Fanzhi nodded with a smile and said, "Boss Shen is talking about the experimental troupe, we'll talk about it later.

I will first take you to meet the three teachers who are intensively studying the theory of opera in the Institute. The three teachers are all honest and honest elders. You can also get in touch with them more often. "

Walking out of the director's office, following Meng Fanzhi around three or five corridors, the two finally came to a collection room.

The collection room was very large, with eight rows of bookshelves lined up inside. At a glance, there were nearly [-] books on the bookshelves.

Next to the bookshelf area, near the south window, three square desks were randomly placed. In front of the desks, sat two white-haired old men and a middle-aged man in his fifties.

"Hey, Meng Suo is here to inspect the work, wanting to see if we are lazy?"

"Hehe, what did Mr. Chai say? Even if you don't come to work every day, I dare not say anything!

Smiling at the thin old man in front of him, Meng Fanzhi couldn't help turning his head to Shen Yuelou and said: "This is amazing, Mr. Chai Xun Chai, a nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a legacy of the royal family, his grandfather is the last emperor Chai Yuan. "

"Mr. Chai, my boy, Shen Yuelou, is new here, please give me your advice."

Hearing Meng Fanzhi's words, Shen Yuelou couldn't help flashing a trace of surprise in his eyes.

After greeting him respectfully, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but secretly sized up the old man.

After the royal family, it is usually rare.

I saw that the old man was about 64 to [-] years old, with a long face, round eyes, narrow chin, sparse eyebrows, not tall, and a thin body. The small teapot looks elegant and luxurious.

Seeing that Shen Yuelou was well-mannered, Chai Xun couldn't help nodding his head and said with a smile, "Hehe, hello my friend, welcome to join our opera research institute."

In his heart, he actually looked down on such a little baby boy like Shen Yuelou. The Huaxia Opera Research Institute is not for anyone who wants to get in. You have to have real talents and real learning.

However, Director Meng specifically explained to him before, one is that Shen Yuelou has the potential to innovate opera, and the other is that he has a good image and good temperament, and he has gradually gained some fame in the Liyuan, which can be used as a signboard In the future, when you go to Huaxia Academy of Chinese Opera or other opera schools in Yanjing to recruit talents, you may be able to use it.

It was precisely because of these two reasons of Meng Fanzhi's persuasion that Chai Xun reluctantly agreed to Shen Yuelou's joining.

Unexpectedly, we met today, and the impression is not bad.

After greeting Chai Xun, Meng Fanzhi introduced another white-haired old man to him: "This is old Mr. Qi Shaotong, the eldest son of Qi Lintong, the founder of Peking Opera "Qi School."

When he heard that he was the descendant of Boss Qi, Shen Yuelou immediately stood up in awe: "Mr. Qi, although Shen is a singer of Tsing Yi, he also admires Qi Lin and Boss Qi very much.

Boss Qi is not only highly accomplished in Peking Opera, but also has always been praised for his moral conduct. "

"Little friend is overrated. The actors of the older generation have that kind of character, so they don't deserve special praise."

Qi Shaotong chuckled and exchanged a few words with Shen Yuelou.

After introducing Qi Shaotong, Meng Fanzhi pointed to the middle-aged man at the end and said: "This is Mr. Zhao Bingzhong, a famous Chinese playwright. He is the author of "Heroes", "The Grudge" and many other plays that are often performed in Liyuan. Bad show."

The author of "The Spectrum of Heroes" and "Resentment in the Wind and Dust".

Hearing Meng Fanzhi's introduction, Shen Yuelou's eyes flashed, and he clasped his fists and said with a smile, "So it's Mr. Zhao, who has long admired his name."

Zhao Bingzhong also waved his hands and said with a smile: "Boss Shen, you don't have to be polite, Zhao has not only admired you for a long time, but I have also secretly looked at you twice?

I was watching the two songs you sang at Jixiang Theater.

The plays I wrote are nothing compared to yours.

Those plays of mine can only be performed for decades or hundreds of years, but your plays such as "Snow in June" and "Kite Error" can be passed down to the world. "

Although this matter has been verified in another world, Shen Yuelou couldn't agree to it face to face, so he could only wave his hands and humbly say: "Don't dare to say it to the world, Mr. Zhao's absurd praise."

"Famous drama handed down from generation to generation?"

Hearing Zhao Bingzhong's praise of Shen Yuelou, Chai Xun couldn't help but frowned and said, "Bingzhong, isn't that a bit exaggerated? Huaxia hasn't produced a famous play that can be called handed down for nearly 30 years.

How old is he, can he have this talent and fortune? "

"Haha, I testify that Mr. Zhao's words are not exaggerated."

Meng Fanzhi stepped forward and echoed, "It's a matter of passing it down from generation to generation and not passing it down from generation to generation. The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

However, after watching "Snow in June", Mr. Pei and Master Liang of our Jiyunzhai box office also think that this play has the appearance of being handed down from generation to generation.

This point coincides with Mr. Zhao's point of view. "

"Mr. Pei and Mr. Liang really said that?"

After receiving Meng Fanzhi's affirmative answer, Chai Xun nodded and said: "Hearing your praise, I would like to go and listen to this play carefully when I have time."

After chatting for a while, they went to bring a desk and some office supplies to Shen Yuelou, and Meng Fanzhi left in a hurry.

After Meng Fanzhi left, Chai Xun and Qi Shaotong nodded at Shen Yuelou, and began to get busy with the work at hand.

It can be seen that although they agree with Shen Yuelou to join the Institute of Opera Research, they do not intend to have a close relationship for the time being due to differences in age, experience and other aspects.

On the contrary, Zhao Bingzhong was very interested in Shen Yuelou.

He moved a chair and sat opposite Shen Yuelou, and after sharing his good tea with Shen Yuelou, he explained the work of the Opera Research Institute to Shen Yuelou in detail.

"The research direction of the Xiqu Research Institute is varied, but due to limited manpower, it is currently only focusing on three aspects.

Mr. Chai is responsible for the historical materials and related theoretical research of opera, and I am mainly responsible for compiling and researching the collection of opera scripts. Because of his deep connection with Liyuan, Mr. Qi is mainly responsible for organizing seminars for opera actors, research classes for art masters and related actors. Training, lectures and training work.

You have just come to the Institute, and you must not have a clear work direction for the time being.

In the early stage, you can follow me, or Mr. Qi and Mr. Chai. When you are familiar with the work of the institute, or find a clear research direction, it will not be too late to seek financial and personnel support from Meng Institute. "

Hearing Zhao Bingzhong's advice, Shen Yuelou hurriedly clasped his fists in thanks: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Zhao. Just as you said, I'll give the three gentlemen a helping hand. After studying for a while, I'll think about the research direction."

"Hehe, that's good.

You are smart, wise, and down-to-earth, and you will definitely find the way quickly.

You are busy first, if there is anything unclear in the future, if you want to know more, you can just come to me. "

"sure."

Seeing that Zhao Bingzhong went back to his desk to work, Shen Yuelou sat and pondered for a while, then got up and walked towards the bookshelf.

Let's read the book first!
If you don't understand, there are three well-understood teachers who can ask you for advice.

Here, it is simply another learning paradise of my own!

The kind that doesn't need to spend opera prestige points.
