Han Zhou and Ba Re came to the Tianchan Yifu stage together, sat down, and prepared to watch the next performance.

Tianchan Yifu Stage is a famous Peking Opera performance venue in Jiangcheng and even the whole of China. It has a long history and is famous.

In the pear orchard line, there is such a proverb, "Jingjiaoer will not become famous if he does not enter the sky", which can be seen from this. (Liyuan is the opera world, the name is just like the apricot forest is the name of the medical world.) It also spread to RB, and RB entertainment also has the so-called pear orchard saying, as well as the famous "pear garden wife", I will introduce it when I have time)

Originally opened in April 4, 1912, the new new stage, located at the intersection of Jiujiang Road and Hubei (the original site of today's overseas Chinese store), was originally a part of the amusement place "Louwailou", in 1912 Huang Chujiu, Jing Runsan, Sun Yusheng jointly rebuilt its theater, named the new new stage.

In February 1916, Xu Shaoqing set up another portal and rented a stage from Yongan Company, borrowing the allusion of "the moon spirit toad folding and eating the laurel branch in the moon", and renamed it Tianchan Stage, which was the first appearance of the title of Tianchan Stage.

After Xu Shaoqing, the second boss of "Tianchan" is "Jiangbei tycoon" Gu Zhuxuan.

He is Huang Jinrong's apprentice.

Because he ranks fourth among the brothers, he is known as "Gu Si". Due to the large number of outlaws under his command, he often performed all martial arts.

After Gu Zhuxuan became the boss of the "Tianchan" stage, he used all the means of coercion and temptation to win many famous actors in Shanghai, and coerced them to sign contracts to perform on the "Tianchan" stage at a low price. Among the many famous characters, the most famous is the unicorn boy Zhou Xinfang. In the following fifteen years, with Chang Chunheng, Li Guichun, and Zhou Xinfang as the pillars, he performed "Tanuki for the Prince" and "Fengshen Bang" for a long time, and the business has been good.

Qilin Tong Zhou Xinfang, the old student in the "Shengdan Jingmo Ugly", the founder of the "Qi School", was named the "Peking Opera Art Master" after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Mei Lanfang is equally famous. A true master. Now the world only knows the famous actors of Danxing, and knows the four famous Danmei Shangcheng Xun, in fact, the status of Lao Sheng in the art of Peking Opera is not inferior to Danxing.

In the spring of 1932, Mei Lanfang moved her family to Shanghai Sinan Road to settle down. In order to encourage the anti-Japanese morale of the whole people, he co-edited the play "Anti-Jin Soldiers" with Ye Gongxuan and others, and premiered it on the Tianchan Stage in 1933.

Later, Cheng Yanqiu also performed the new drama "Suolin Bag" on the Tianchan Yifu stage, and the venue was full. "Suo Lin Bag" is indeed a classic in Peking opera, King of King, and there are many widely circulated lyrics.

"Human warmth and coldness are made in heaven, who can move it by half a cent. ”

"He taught me to put away my remaining hatred, avoid coquettishness, reform myself, change my temperament, stop falling in love, turn back from the bitter sea, and realize Lan Yin early. ”

"Looking back on the prosperity is like a dream, and the remnants of life are full of shock. ”

are all good sentences with the coexistence of philosophy and literary style, which are worth smacking carefully and savoring slowly.

......

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the status of the Tianchan Yifu stage has also been retained until now.

Han Zhou and Ba Ge sat in the front row, next to each other.

Peking Opera "Wujia Po" begins.

"Wujia Po" is an excerpt from the Peking Opera "The Red-Maned Horse" (i.e., "Wang Baochuan").

tells the story of Wang Baochuan living alone in a broken tile kiln for 18 years, writing a blood letter in distress, and Tuo Hongyan sent it to Xiliang.

Xue Pinggui (a dead scumbag) got the letter, bid farewell to the princess of Daizhan, hurriedly returned to Chang'an, and met Wang Baochuan in front of Wujiapo.

The husband and wife have been separated for 18 years, and their faces are difficult to distinguish, and they dare not recognize each other rashly. Xue Pinggui tried Baochuan by asking for directions, Wang Baochuan was poor and hard, adhered to chastity, and fled back to the cold kiln. Xue Pinggui rushed to the kiln, explained the reason in detail, and complained about the previous situation, so that the husband and wife could recognize each other.

It's a great rivalry.

Starting from "Na Sulong and Wei Hu are the mediators, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng is my main marriage", even if you don't watch Peking Opera, you can also experience the good sound.

Xue Pinggui, a scumbag, has changed his description because he has been away from home for 18 years, and he falsely claimed to be a friend of Xue Pinggui, and deliberately flirted to test his wife's temperament.

This paragraph is the plot of Xue Pinggui molesting Wang Baochuan, and Wang Baochuan choking Xue Pinggui.

Su Tuan and Taro Yuan are both contemporary Peking Opera masters, and their skills are perfect, which often attracts applause from the audience.

Han Zhou and Ba Re were also fascinated by what they listened.

After the repertoire, the audience applauded.

The actors retreated into the background.

Then the applause and cheers from below grew louder and louder.

At this time, the two actors were infected by the applause and walked out again.

There is a name here, called "encore", which is a very common behavior in Peking Opera performances.

It shows that the actors' performances are good, and the audience is still enjoying watching them, so they use applause and cheers, hoping that the actors will return to sing a short segment.

Taro Yuan and Su Tuan sang a few more excerpts from "Sitting in the Palace". "Sitting in the Palace" is a fold in "Shiro's Mother", the play between Yang Shilang and Princess Tiejing.

After singing, applaud again.

Returning to thank the audience again.

And then it ended.

The crowd dispersed.

Ba Ge sighed: "Peking Opera is really the quintessence of the country. ”

Han Zhou said: "Indeed. The threshold of Peking Opera is actually not low, whether the lyrics are Huguang rhyme or Zhongzhou rhyme, it is not so easy to understand, even in the hottest period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, many people just watch the excitement, in fact, they don't know why. In modern times, various art forms have emerged in an endless stream, which are more down-to-earth than Peking Opera, and there are bound to be fewer and fewer people watching Peking Opera and various operas. ”

Ba Ge said: "It's really a pity. But I didn't expect that Han Zhou, you actually know Peking Opera. ”

Han Zhou smiled shyly: "When I was a child, I liked to listen to Huangmei Opera. "Tianxian Pei" and "The Female Horse", the birds in the trees are in pairs (singing), in order to save Li Lang from his home (singing), humming along, catchy. After I went to university, I had Peking Opera classes, and I listened to many Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera with my teacher, and I crossed that threshold, and I have liked it ever since. ”

Ba Ge said: "That's good. ”

The two unconsciously held arms again.

Han Zhou said: "If this development continues, Peking Opera will only decline more and more." You don't see every Spring Festival Gala, when it comes to the Peking Opera session, everyone leaves the TV and goes to the bathroom...... Young people don't like to watch it, and there are fewer and fewer old ticket holders. ”

Ba hotspot nodded: "Yes, although it's a pity, it's also the general trend." ”

Han Zhou said: "If you use the form of modern variety shows to produce a variety show that can attract the public, a competitive variety show, maybe it can attract the interest of more young people." ”

Bage added: "It's possible. Just like the Kunqu Opera "Peony Pavilion", which has been renovated close to young people, it has attracted many young people to pay attention to Kunqu Opera. has fed a lot of drama troupes. ”

Han Zhou said: "Yes, variety shows can be done, but the form must be close to young people." There are many beautiful singing passages in Peking Opera, even if you can't understand it, you can listen to it. Those singing segments are to be presented in variety shows. It is necessary to lead the audience to the door first, attract them, and then close the door and hit the dog. ”

Ba Ge said angrily: "What a broken metaphor. ”
