Chapter 409: True Kung Fu in Peking Opera (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

Dong Qingqing in the side curtain kept teasing Sun Yaqi with her eyes, and after Sun Yaqi listened to Pei Yanzhi's "shameless" declaration, her face was also slightly red, and she made a mess with Dong Qingqing, who was teasing her.

Pei Yanzhi sat on the chair and said with a smile, "In fact, many of these car accident scenes that are not considered car accidents, the premise of turning decay into magic is that you have to have a full understanding of this character and know this play well, if you are very unfamiliar, or don't understand this character, don't think about it, a car accident is a car accident." ”

Looking at the audience listening with relish, Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "I have said so many stage accidents, but I still want to give our Peking Opera actors a proper name, although it is impossible to say that no matter how big an artist or a master is, he will not make a mistake in his entire career, but how to reduce the probability of performance accidents, we can still talk about it."

The so-called high-rise building rises from the ground, the more stable the foundation, the higher the building can be built, and what we are going to talk about next is actually one of the reasons why everyone thinks Peking Opera is very mysterious, that is, the real kung fu of Peking Opera!"

As soon as the audience heard this, they immediately became interested, the real kung fu of Peking Opera, even those who have not seen the play have seen Pei Yanzhi's apprentice Guo Ciyin play a fan on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and the fan is like acrobatics, which makes everyone full of curiosity about the real kung fu of Peking Opera.

Pei Yanzhi said, "Our Peking Opera has basic skills, that is to say, no matter what you sing, no matter whether you sing literary opera or martial arts, you have to practice basic skills, everyone knows that cross talk actors have four homework, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling!"

The audience shouted "Huh-".

Pei Yanzhi nodded and said, "I'm talking about Dezheng Society, other cross talk actors, and other people's four homework is to be abducted!"

"Poof", Pei Yanzhi's mouth is really damaged, and he is not afraid of offending people!

Dong on the side curtain was lying on Sun Yaqi's shoulder, laughing out of breath, and Sun Yaqi also looked at Pei Yanzhi who was talking nonsense on the stage with a strange face.

Pei Yanzhi coughed lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the four lessons of cross talk are to learn to sing, then we also have four homework in Peking Opera, called singing, reading, doing, fighting, what is singing, it is a speech with accompaniment, or lyricism, or theory, or quarrel, can be expressed in the form of singing, so how to practice the basic skills of singing?"

Every morning, we Peking Opera actors have to get up and shout our voices, also known as hanging our voices, the meaning of this is to expand the vocal range, exercise the endurance and timbre of the throat, vocal cords, so as to better portray the characters and roles in singing.

Then reading, is a cappella singing, that is, speaking, no accompaniment, but to have the rhythm and rhyme of singing, in addition to some special lines and roles, the rest of us have to bring a special rhythm when reading white, there is a strong charm, this reading is very difficult, there are many ticket friends will only go to the ticket singing, rarely will vote to read white, in our Peking Opera industry there is such a saying, called a thousand catties of white four two singing, this reading white accounts for a thousand catties, and this singing, only four taels, although it is an exaggerated technique, but you can also see how difficult this reading is great。

Next, let's talk about this doing and fighting, doing and playing actually belong to the category of dance, Mr. Qi Rushan once summed up the performance of Peking Opera in eight words, called 'there is a sound must sing, no movement and no dance', as the name suggests, as long as we have a voice on the stage, we must have the melody of singing, and if we move casually on the stage, we must have the beauty of dance. Therefore, there is such a principle in traditional opera, that is, real knives, real guns, and real objects are not allowed on the stage, and everything must be completed through the performance of the actors and the cooperation of the band, so the performances covered by 'doing' are very rich.

We pay attention to the hand-eye-body method, this hand, an ordinary scholar, a finger, just point it out!"

Pei Yanzhi stretched out his index finger, swiped it in front of him, and pointed out.

"People with martial arts need two fingers, this is called sword fingers!"

Pei Yanzhi stretched out his index finger and middle finger, and pointed out together very imposingly.

"The finger of Danjiao is called the orchid finger, and there are many people who don't know how to draw this orchid finger. Pei Yanzhi stood up, walked to the front of the stage, stretched out his right hand, palmed towards everyone, and said, "The orchid finger of Danjiao, the middle finger is slightly forward, the thumb is placed at the base of the middle finger, and the index finger should be forced, so that the shape is like an orchid, everyone can give it a try!"

The audience raised their hands and tried their orchid fingers.

Pei Yan's heart was secretly counted, "one, two, three, four......" hadn't counted to five, and the audience sighed, shaking their hands frantically, with a sour face.

Pei Yanzhi smiled slightly and said, "Don't think that the orchid finger is easy, when we practiced this when we were children, there were no less cramps, you just put it for a while and you couldn't stand it, when we were young, but we had to put it for at least half an hour!"

Dong Qingqing on the side curtain also tried it, but as expected, he felt that his hand was going to cramp after not holding on for a while, so he quickly shook his hand and asked with a painful face, "Yaqi, did you all practice like this when you were young?"

Sun Yaqi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, my hands cramp like chicken paws every day, and I can't come back!"

Pei Yanzhi said, "Next is the finger of Danjiao, the index finger is cocked hard, the thumb and middle finger form a circle, the ring finger is bent close to the middle finger, the little finger is close to the ring finger, just like that!"

When Pei Yanzhi was pointing, his eyes also followed, although he didn't wear makeup, he had a soft and charming air, which made people feel excited.

"This eye is the eye, I said before, when this actor appears, we call it appearance, and every character is the rule of his own appearance, but the eyes of each person are the most important!"

Pei Yanzhi looked up at the box on the second floor on the side, beckoned to the audience above, and said, "This box is the most expensive box in the entire theater garden!"

Seeing Pei Yanzhi waving to them, the audience in the van was very excited, and they also waved frequently, hearing that this was the most expensive, although they didn't pay for it, they also felt that their identities were different, and they were all arrogant.

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "In addition to Peking Opera, other places, such as Dezheng Society, they are the most expensive of the three boxes on the front, and in our opera garden, the box on the second floor of the next door is the most expensive.

Pei Yanzhi came to the side curtain of the upper door, and saw the two ladies looking at him with strange eyes in the side curtain, he also smiled, and quickly came out of the upper door again, at this time, the gong and drum guys of the band also beat up, stepped on the gong and drum point every step, took a step and paused, came to the position of Jiulongkou, pretended to brush the mustache with his hand, held the fan with his hand, as if holding a sword, raised his head slightly, looked at the side box on the second floor, and his eyes were certain, at this time, the gong and drum beat "Cang" , this is the first appearance of the characters in Peking Opera.

At this moment, everyone could see that the place Pei Yanzhi looked at was the location of the side box on the second floor.

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, " Everyone can also see that our Peking Opera actors appeared, not to the middle of the stage to appear, but to this one-third of the place, we are called Jiulongkou, we appear here, and we are not looking at the front, but looking at the position of the side box on the second floor, why is this, in fact, this is the past Peking Opera actors have studied, the side of the person, than the front of the person, can highlight the lines and momentum of the character, you can see a lot of sculptures in the past, most of them are side portraits, which appear mighty and upright, and can show the charm of the characters。

This appearance is very important, because you have just appeared, and you don't know how you sing below, but if you have light in your eyes at this time, and you look particularly energetic, the audience below will naturally be interested in you, if you come out loose, your eyes are dim, and you will float left and right, and the audience will not want to watch your performance below. Because you know at a glance that you are not a good horn.

We Peking Opera actors, it can be said that the most important thing is the eyes, because before you open your mouth, the audience can notice your first point, as the saying goes, the eyes are the windows of the soul, whether your window is bright or not, you can see how you are an actor!

There is also a very interesting place, everyone who has watched the play knows that there are some scenes in Peking Opera that are very easy to make people cry, that is, it is easy to hit your tears, but this premise is that our Peking Opera actors do not cry, our role is to make the audience cry, and the actors can not cry on stage, the first is not beautiful, and the second is to affect your singing, this is a kind of performance, freehand performance. For example, there is such a singing in "Wujia Po", which will make some viewers cry, that is, after the husband and wife recognized each other, Wang Baochuan saw Xue Pinggui outside the cold kiln with long hair, so he said, how can the son-in-law have five willow hair, Xue Pinggui sighed and sang"

"Young children and old people,

Pretty in Pink with two sideburns,

The third sister doesn't believe in Linghuazhao,

The face is not as good as in front of the color building. ”

Pei Yanzhi said, "When singing here, some viewers will feel that this word really hits the depths of their hearts, red face is easy to get old, Peking Opera has this kind of magic, it can make people laugh forward and backwards, and it can also make you cry, in fact, many people listened to opera in the past, it was because of the imperfection of life, you can make your life perfect in the repertoire of Peking Opera, in fact, it is the same as why everyone likes to watch movies and TV series with happy endings now, it is because of this!"

"Next, let's talk about this body, pay attention to the 'shoulder and back', the simplest example, you see, my sitting posture!"

Pei Yanzhi sat on the chair, adjusted his sitting posture, and said, "Look, my feet, one front and one back, my hands on the armrests of the chair, also one front and one back, look at my shoulders, also one front and one back, sitting like this, looking tall and good-looking, and if I yearn for the right finger, you look at my posture." ”

Pei Yanzhi first fell his body to the left, then to the right, stretched out a finger, looked at Sun Yaqi and Dong Qingqing in the side curtain, and said in his mouth, "Look at the two eldest sisters over there, they look like Tianzi and the country, I'm afraid they are heavenly maidens, hahaha——"

Dong Qingqing and Sun Yaqi couldn't help but laugh, this Pei Yanzhi is really shameless.

The audience also knew that there were two ladies sitting there, and when they saw Pei Yanzhi's rainbow fart, they couldn't help but boo.

Pei Yanzhi didn't pay attention to them, and said, "This is the shoulder and back, if you want to go left first right, if you want right first left, if you want to advance first retreat, if you want to retreat first, this is the taste and strength of Peking Opera, this is very important!"

"The next step is the step, the step, we talk about the step, when it comes to this step, I'll stand up first!"

Pei Yanzhi stood up, moved the chair behind him to the back, and said, "I'll learn this step for everyone, different ages, different genders, different identities, this step is different." ”

"Let's go to a normal young and middle-aged man first, that's how he walks, and the footsteps of the old students are all eight characters!"

The gongs and drums of the band next to him played, and with the sound of gongs and drums, Pei Yanzhi's right foot was raised, not raised high, the sole of his boot was bright, and then fell, and then his left foot was the same.

Pei Yanzhi said, "This is how most of the old and junior students take the stage. ”

"Next is the old man, the old man's steps we call the decline step, the old man first the old legs, in fact, the old is the knees, the heels and shoulders are wide, and the back is slightly bent! ”

With the beat of gongs and drums, Pei Yanzhi's footsteps were like dragging lead-filled legs, slowly pushing forward, almost without leaving the ground, looking old.

"Then let's talk about being an official, this is to have a style, this walk is like this!"

Pei Yanzhi's right foot was raised, he took a step to the right, and after landing on the ground, his body shook slightly, and then his left foot was raised, the same as the action just now.

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "The people who are in charge of the officials are all hugging each other, and this glance shows that this person is very proud." Just now, these are the three different ages and identities of the old students, and next, let's talk about how this Danjiao takes steps. ”

Pei Yanzhi introduced, "The steps of Danjiao are very particular, and the steps between different genres of Danjiao are not the same, I will talk about our Mei School and Pei School, because most of the characters created by Mr. Mei are Niangniang, Guifei, and everyone is beautiful, so the pace is more atmospheric and steady, dignified and generous." For example, Princess Tiejing in "Shiro Visits the Mother", wearing flowerpot bottom shoes, wearing a cheongsam, and carrying a flag head, this kind of step is called a flag shoe step. ”

Pei Yanzhi stood in the middle of the stage, just like that, he looked like a curling and graceful appearance.
