Chapter 169: Pei Yanzhi who doesn't read words
Today is the first formal word pairing, no need to go on stage, just go through the words first, and the band next to it is ready.
The plot is taken in an unnamed county, Pei Yanzhi was forced by the neon people to sing on stage, and then discussed with the theater owner Tong Jiahe how to die with the neon people, and the final fire scene, the whole play takes about two hours.
After all, the current Peking Opera is not the same as in the past, it is said that the common people like to watch serials, in fact, there were also serial dramas in Peking Opera back then, which was called Liantai play, with a few copies and hundreds of copies, that is to say, this drama is just like a serial, it was performed for several hours a day and for several months before the whole story was finished.
In the past, even the stage script was the troupe's housekeeping skills, a means to attract audiences, as long as your play is good, after watching an episode, fans can't help but want to look down, so that many fans are detained, and the income is naturally not bad.
The signature repertoire of the Sanqing class led by Cheng Changgeng is the thirty-six copies of "Three Kingdoms", from the winter solstice to the wax moon sealing every year, it is only performed once a year, which means "there is not much to give"!
However, over the years, due to the rise of other art industries and some changes within the Peking Opera industry, there have been fewer and fewer operas.
Nowadays, many troupes are performing so many plays over and over again, which makes fans feel that it is not new, but it is not enjoyable, and the actors of the troupe also feel very aggrieved, there is no new idea in choosing old plays, but it is difficult for the audience to resonate with the audience in new plays, in contrast, it is better to act in old plays more safely.
On the one hand, the inheritance of classic old operas is not enough, when actors learn operas, they only choose those classic and blockbuster plays to learn, and some other cold dramas and difficult plays are basically not learned, so the actors will only have fewer and fewer plays, and there will be fewer and fewer plays that can be performed.
On the other hand, a large number of new repertoire came to the stage blindly and hastily, without the run-in of time, and the artistic standard was not high, so it could not become a repertoire that was often performed.
As a result, the repetition rate of Peking Opera is getting higher and higher, and there are just a few plays, can the common people love to watch them?
The emergence of television is a kind of promotion for Peking Opera and other arts, but Peking Opera in TV programs is actually different from Peking Opera in reality.
In today's TV programs or evening performances, because of the limited time, opera performances often only last a few minutes, and many children who study opera will mistakenly think that it is enough to learn a few paragraphs to learn opera.
Mr. Mei Wenjiu rarely performs on TV, because he once said that entertainment is entertainment, art is art, TV cultivates stars, not artists, actors who want to study art must learn to sing the whole play, and must have solid basic skills, after all, only after acting in the whole play, your understanding of the role will be more thorough, otherwise, if you only sing a paragraph, you don't know the joys, sorrows, sorrows and sorrows of this person, how can you sing well.
Pei Yanzhi knows a very interesting example, which is the Youth Award of the Meilanfang Award last year, this award is to encourage young actors, and the best young actors in each industry will be commended every year.
And last year's Tsing Yi actor performed in the play "The Legend of the White Snake", which played the fold of "Wine Change", the White Snake's >>
The actor's singing skills are very good, Mei Pai's Tsing Yi, but Pei Yanzhi felt very awkward when she saw it, because she didn't have any emotions, and there was a lost Xu Xian lying on the ground, but when the white snake was talking to the green snake, the expression on his face was actually smiling, and the lyrics in this paragraph were very fast, if it was not handled well, it would be difficult for people to hear clearly.
However, the singing skills of this White Snake actor are really good, the skills are very in place, and the singing is also very brilliant, the only drawback is that there is no emotion.
This is the disadvantage of only acting in such a short scene, when you don't understand the cause and effect, or when you don't have so much foreshadowing, suddenly let you play a grief-stricken or smiling face, unless it is those old artists, otherwise, it is difficult to enter the role quickly.
Today's play "Chi Ling" should actually be regarded as a one-fold play, two hours, in fact, in the past, this kind of play was too short, so people couldn't enjoy watching it, but now, the two-hour play is already very long, and few people can sit there and listen to the play for such a long time!
......
More than a dozen main actors formed a circle, Pei Yanzhi put the words on his knees, leaned back against the chair, and looked calm.
Other actors have either been watching the drama with the words, or they are chatting with others with confidence, and some people are very similar to Pei Yanzhi, not speaking, closing their eyes and recuperating.
After waiting for a while, everyone quieted down, Pei Yanzhi opened his eyes and started talking.
Listening to Pei Yanzhi's recitation and singing, the people around him nodded silently, this taste is really good, it is really the same as singing with Master Ma Lianliang.
Pei Yanzhi mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, although it was just the right words, but everyone's momentum came up, and there were a few people, while singing, standing up, body, hands, and eyes, the performance also made Pei Yanzhi admire, worthy of being a first-line actor, this ability is absolutely first-class.
But while singing, everyone found a surprising thing, Pei Yanzhi didn't even glance at the lyrics, after everyone finished singing, when they changed him to sing, there was no delay in the slightest, which is too powerful.
Because Pei Yanzhi is the protagonist of this play, his lyrics account for almost 70% of the whole play, and he has no idle time from beginning to end, this play has a more troublesome place, that is, in the last play, Pei Yanzhi does not have much time to change his clothes, only twenty minutes at most, and he needs to change his old clothes into Tsing Yi, but the backstage has prepared this very well, and it is all professional.
When this play was over, everyone looked at Pei Yanzhi with appreciation in their eyes, and the previous arguments that Pei Yanzhi only relied on talent and good luck had disappeared.
All the people here have got the complete script, Pei Yanzhi's recitation and singing are very long, which makes everyone feel dizzy when they look at it, the new play, the most afraid is that there are many words, that is really hard to remember, even if they don't have many words at all, few of them can say that they have memorized all their words.
And singing is not the same as acting in a movie, you not only have to memorize the words, you also have to know when you sing, the band on the side will not wait for you, when the time comes, you take a wrong shot, an early shot or a late shot, it is a performance accident!
