Chapter 222: Pei Yanzhi's adaptation of Peking Opera
This time, Pei Yanzhi commented first.
"This should be the theme song of Master Mei Lanfang's original "Tang Guifei", after some adaptations, although it is no longer Peking Opera, but it is also very good. ”
Pei Yanzhi pondered for a while and said, "Although our show is called "Peking Opera Beautiful Boy" today, the contestants who come to participate in the competition are all Peking Opera actors or Peking Opera lovers, and they basically sing Peking Opera, but I hope everyone can make some breakthroughs, Peking Opera is not immutable, from the beginning of Peking Opera to the present, Peking Opera has undergone great changes, even if the Peking Opera actors in the Republic of China period look at many Peking Opera now, he will feel that he can't accept it, in fact, this is the problem of the change of the times and the change of mentality. ”
"Although Peking Opera is still second to none, but I found that young people's understanding of Peking Opera is slowly decreasing, I have heard such a remark, I don't want to evaluate the rights and wrongs of this kind of remarks, I just say it here, some people say that there are fewer and fewer people who like Peking Opera now, but this is not a bad thing, because a country, a nation, must have a more elegant thing, high and low, high, although we don't understand, but it does not prevent us from worshipping him and admiring him!"
Here, I will not comment on the rights and wrongs of this kind of remarks, because the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise, but I think Peking Opera has never been a temple culture, Peking Opera originated from the grassroots, although at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were three tripods into the palace to sing for the emperor, and then Peking Opera seems to have become a terrible art, in fact, this is just a layer of umbrella, at that time, Peking Opera needs this layer of umbrella, the artist was called the ninth rate, the bitch is ruthless, the drama is meaningless, in fact, the most fundamental point, he is to put the two together, it is a grade。 ”
"Therefore, countless Peking Opera masters and Peking Opera artists desperately want to improve the status of Peking Opera, but the result is that many people, including us Peking Opera people, feel that they are high and that we are temple culture, so we are now Peking Opera is also hung high and worshiped by the common people!"
"Actually, I have said so much today, I hope that our Peking Opera performers can put down their own shelves, make Peking Opera more accessible to the people, and don't make it seem that some reforms to Peking Opera are a big rebellion. Just like when my "Red Ling" first came out, many Peking Opera actors jumped out and said irresponsible things, saying that I was going to ruin Peking Opera, saying that they were going to drive me out of the Peking Opera world, in fact, I don't think it's necessary, I think Peking Opera is in danger now, and more and more people come to see it.
Pei Yanzhi's words are also touching, and the words are bloody, whether it is the audience present or the other two judges, they all think it is true.
Mei Wenjiu and Li Zhengsu were also silent after hearing this.
Mei Wenjiu's face showed a smile of relief, and said, "Susu, what do you think after listening to this kid's words?"
Li Zhengsu bowed his head slightly and said, " Pei Yanzhi's child, wholeheartedly upright, for the Peking Opera is undoubtedly the mind, but his methods I don't dare to agree, I think everything we Meilanfang Peking Opera Troupe do is the right way, every year we will go to all parts of the country, as well as some overseas cities for touring, people who like Peking Opera are still very enthusiastic, I think this kid is a little extreme, so many years of artists and masters, including the master's painstaking efforts, finally lifted Peking Opera to this position, how can it be possible to casually throw away the rules and dignity。 ”
Mei Wenjiu pondered for a moment, and said noncommittally, "Maybe, I don't know whether Pei Yanzhi's approach is right or what you say is right, I can't see the rise of Peking Opera again in my life, Su Su, I hope you can revitalize Peking Opera in your lifetime, revitalize the art of my Mei School, if possible, when Pei Yanzhi needs help, you lend a hand!"
Li Zhengsu nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, it's no problem for you to live past a hundred years old, the rudder of the Mei faction still has to be mastered by you! As for Pei Yanzhi, look at his performance, if he can really lead Peking Opera to prosperity, I, Li Zhengsu, will become his pawn, what's the big deal!"
Li Zhengsu's words are also women's refusal to let their eyebrows go, and they are loud.
Pei Yanzhi on TV continued, "I think this show, we can't all sing the Peking Opera segments, we can add some Peking Opera singing segments to some musical elements, so that he is more catchy, some of the singing segments sound good, but it is difficult to sing, because the charm of Peking Opera is not something that can be learned in a while, but after adding music, many people can easily learn it, and after learning it, he will be interested in Peking Opera, and he will slowly like Peking Opera." ”
"This is just a superficial idea of mine, but in my group of contestants, I will let them perform this type of work more often, hoping that more people will like Peking Opera. Mei Huaying, would you like to come to my team?"
The other two judges were also not to be outdone, extending an olive branch to Mei Huaying, and also offered a variety of conditions.
But Mei Huaying, who had a "py" deal with Pei Yanzhi for a long time, pretended to think about it, and then resolutely chose Pei Yanzhi.
Pei Yanzhi also pretended to be very happy, and hugged Mei Huaying gently.
Entertainment, you know!
The next people on the stage are all singing the classic singing segments of Peking Opera, and the fans below are also dancing with their eyebrows, but the ratings of the TV station are gradually declining, and the director can't stop sighing, it seems that Pei Yanzhi has seen where the shackles of this show are, pure opera, it is really difficult to attract the audience's attention.
In the end, Pei Yanzhi left six people under his command, and the other two were seven people under his command, and no one was eliminated, in fact, this is also an unspoken rule, these people are basically sent by various opera schools or Peking Opera Theaters, if you let people be eliminated, it is estimated that they will lose their face, the first round, or with the light and dust, everyone is happy!
At the same time next week, it will be the second round of competition, this one is going to be real, when the time comes, the judges will be useless, 200 audiences on the spot, each group out of an actor, after singing, the scene is scored, the one with the highest score directly advances to the top ten, and then the second place enters the pending, and the third place is directly eliminated.
Because Pei Yanzhi's group is six people, then there will be a group of two people, those two people with high scores will be directly promoted, and those with low scores will be eliminated directly, which is so cruel.
The other six people to be determined will be drawn again, two by two, and the winner will enter the top ten, and the loser will be eliminated.
Next week is the bloody and brutal knockout round.
There is only one week to go, Pei Yanzhi will give these people special training, and then let them sing the appropriate singing segments!
Pei Yanzhi looked at the six people in front of him, only Mei Huaying was younger than him, and the others were all young people in their twenties, but these people looked at Pei Yanzhi with envy and admiration in their eyes, envious of Pei Yanzhi's talent and teacher, and admired Pei Yanzhi's love and study of Peking Opera.
In order to be able to start the name of opera songs this time and let more people join the ranks, Pei Yanzhi not only exchanged some opera songs, but also exchanged some skills about music, such as arrangement, such as various Chinese music skills, he had learned the flute before, but now Pei Yanzhi can be called an all-rounder of Chinese music, from suona, sheng pipe flute, all of them, even if it is pipa zither and dulcimer, they are also very proficient.
After these skills are mastered, Pei Yanzhi looked at the previous opera songs and found that there are many places in them, and if more Chinese music is added, it will be even more wonderful.
These six students are also in this week's time, and their admiration for Pei Yanzhi is increasing day by day, because in Pei Yanzhi's hands, all kinds of musical instruments are playing and flying, as if there is nothing he can't do, rearrange the Peking Opera singing segments, add various elements of Chinese music, and specially borrow a big drum, the strong drum beat, which suddenly makes people have a sense of enthusiasm for the battlefield.
Pei Yanzhi tailor-made a song for all six students, all of which added a lot of elements of Chinese music to the singing section of Peking Opera, rearranged and arranged with the rhythm of music, and the cooperation of various Chinese music was also refreshing.
The six students' admiration for Pei Yanzhi is like a mountain, they watched Pei Yan turn a Peking Opera singing segment into a current opera song bit by bit, and the name of creating a ghost fell on Pei Yanzhi's head!
