The audience in the audience was a little refined by Pei Yanzhi's neurotic logic.

Pei Yanzhi said with a sneering expression, "You go home and think about it, is this the truth, I said a movie actor in the twenties, you definitely don't know it, but I said a movie actor in the twenties, you know nine times out of ten, you say, is there any reason for what I said!"

Although the audience in the audience felt that there was something wrong, they really felt that Pei Yanzhi's words made some sense.

Especially the audience who stood up, sat back with a confused face, frowning, and kept thinking about the logic of this question.

The four elders sitting on the stage looked helplessly at Pei Yanzhi, who was "playing hooligan" in public, this kind of nonsensical sophistry was the only one he could show his face.

For fear of being discovered by the audience in the audience, Pei Yanzhi hurriedly continued, "Okay, let's not discuss classical poetry, continue our show!"

"Just now we talked about the upper ninth stream and the lower ninth stream, our Peking Opera was divided into the lower nine streams at the beginning, and it is the lowest existence in the lower nine streams, the so-called 'female cousins are ruthless, and the drama is meaningless', even from this sentence, you can see that female cousins are all in front of our opera!"

Poof!

This is not the reaction of the audience, but the reaction of the four elders in the back, just when Pei Jingqi felt thirsty, he just took a sip of tea from the teacup, and when he heard his son's words of hanging rails, his breath was suddenly chaotic, and a sip of tea almost didn't squirt out, and he coughed again and again.

And the other three elders also looked at Pei Yanzhi with the eyes of looking at monsters, although it was said that the status of the drama was very low in the past, it was indeed after the bitch, who said it can be seen from the order of this sentence, it is really a genius's brain circuit!

Pei Yanzhi peeked at his father, looked at him with a strange look at himself, and also shrunk his neck, and continued, "Although in modern times, we pay attention to the profession without high and low, only the division of labor is different, but in ancient times, everyone's identity is according to your profession, from a large aspect, Shinong industry and commerce, the identity of the scholar is the highest, the official, the scholar, the child of the family, these are all scholars, and the status of businessmen in the past is the lowest. ”

"And our singing opera belongs to the 'excellent ling' in the nine streams, which is specially used for the entertainment and pastime of the dignitaries and nobles, and is at the end of the 'nine streams', which is lower than the status of beggars and prostitutes, because you have no freedom, it is equivalent to a slave, in the past in the homes of the dignitaries and nobles, there will be such a group of people who sing and dance, and play musical instruments, this is the earliest 'excellent ling', this 'excellent' refers to male actors, and 'ling' refers to female actors, but now when it comes to plays, 'ling' is used. ”

Therefore, generation after generation of actors, in order to improve the status of our Peking Opera people, make unremitting efforts, you can think about it, from a status lower than a beggar, to now enter the house, sought after by 10,000 people, among them, those artists and masters, how much blood and sweat have been shed, so we have our current status in the Peking Opera industry, so our current Peking Opera people, must not forget those old-timers, if Peking Opera is in our hands to decline, extinct, you say, under Jiuquan, how to explain to these predecessors！”

The four elders nodded frequently, agreeing with Pei Yanzhi's words.

The audience also applauded Pei Yanzhi's words.

"In the past, opera actors could still be sought after on stage, but why do people still look down on them so much, it is because there is a saying from ancient times to the present, everything is inferior, only reading is high, and once you become an opera, not only are you not qualified for the imperial examination, but even your children and grandchildren have lost this qualification, so from the moment you become an opera, you and your descendants have engraved two words on their faces, 'lowly'. ”

"It is because of this humility and lowliness that our Peking Opera actors have to work hard to change this status quo after becoming a corner, because people demand progress, no matter who you are, when you are in the mud, you can't think of so much, but when you come out of the mud, you will try your best to wash off the mud on your body. ”

"In the past, you can see that many famous actors are sons inheriting their father's business, like my master Mr. Mei Wenjiu, who inherited the Mei faction, but Mr. Mei Lanfang did not agree with my master to continue singing at the beginning, but my master likes to sing, so Mr. Mei agreed. In fact, as a Peking Opera actor, if there is no way, I will not let my children continue to walk this path, I am talking about the past, now the identity and status of Peking Opera actors are different, it is a very noble profession, and ordinary people can't get into it if they want to!"

Looking at Pei Yanzhi who was screaming, the audience was too lazy to boo him.

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "This time I'm going to talk about one of the four famous men." Mr. Cheng Yanqiu's son, Mr. Cheng Yongjiang, said in an interview, his father was a declining aristocrat, and he studied in private school when he was a child, so his values are different, so his descendants are not artists, even if they become corners, others look down on you。 ”

"Mr. Cheng Yanqiu's identity may not be clear to everyone, Mr. Cheng Yongjiang said that his father is a declining nobleman, which is really not false at all, Mr. Cheng Yanqiu is a Manchu, surnamed Suo Xuanluo, a native of the White Banner of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and later changed his Han surname, and the surname Cheng is an absolute declining nobleman!"

"People like Mr. Cheng Yanqiu, mainly because of the education they received since childhood, have such a place in their hearts, like a pure land, and there has always been a hurdle that cannot be overcome for the identity of the actor, which we can also understand, people have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. ”

"In fact, when it comes to today, there are many people who have such thoughts, I just said that we can't get into Peking Opera if we want to, not that the threshold of our industry is high, but that there are too few children studying opera now, and there are so many students every year. Like our backstage, there are many old actors, when everyone chats together, they will talk to each other about the situation at home, ask, how old are the children, how old are the grandchildren, what are you learning recently, piano, violin, basketball, in our Shuangqing class, there are now more than 30 actors, even the backstage staff, there are almost 100 people, I counted it, their descendants are still learning drama, there is not one in ten. ”

The audience was a little surprised, generally speaking, isn't it a good thing for a son to inherit his father's business, why is it different here in Peking Opera.

The four on the stage also looked at each other with a wry smile, Mr. Mei Wenjiu has an only son, but he doesn't love Peking Opera, he prefers calligraphy, Jiu Ye doesn't have to let his son inherit the family business, and now Uncle Mei is also a very famous calligrapher, and in the next two generations, there is no one who sings, and Mr. Mei Wenjiu has no choice, after all, this era is different from the past era, there are many choices, and Jiu Ye is not the kind of dictatorial parent, the children are unwilling, then accept apprentices, so, Jiu Ye has accepted fifty apprentices in a row, and now the inheritance of Mei Pai is all over China, which also makes Jiu Ye's heart quite comforted。

Han Pingzheng also has only one son, and now he is the boss of Xiufang Pavilion, and he has no son to inherit his father's business.

Gao Feng has no children under his knees, but Pei Yanzhi is just like his son, and he can be regarded as a little comforted in his heart.

Pei Yanzhi said with a wry smile, " It's too hard to learn opera, this kind of bitterness is unimaginable to ordinary people, practice three nine in winter, practice three dogs in summer, these are commonplace for us, we have a natural ghost gate than other arts, that is, the warehouse, you start learning drama at the age of seven or eight, study for seven or eight years, it's a little bit like that, you can go on stage, at this time, the warehouse is not upside down, the throat is ruined, then you can't sing, the previous kung fu has been practiced in vain, and some, after four or five years of learning, see that you really can't learn, just tell you, child, you are not this material, go do something else, this is no way, the Peking Opera industry is like this, you have studied in the drama school for three or five years, and there are hundreds of people in the same subject, After coming out, there are only a few who have the possibility of becoming a role, and the rest of them will either leave the industry, or you will have to accept your fate to play a supporting role and play a trick, but it really can't work, so you will go behind the scenes and be unknown for the rest of your life. ”

"Therefore, many Peking Opera actors can't bear to let their children go down this road again!"

Pei Yanzhi sighed and said, " I thought of myself, in fact, I didn't say how much I love singing since I was a child, I can't talk about it, at that time I was seven or eight years old, or when I was greedy for fun, for singing, mainly because of my ears and eyes, I followed my father since I was a child, followed my master to listen to them sing, and when I came back, I also babbled to learn to sing, they thought I liked to sing, I don't know if I like it or not, children, it's easy to fool, so I embarked on this road, I slowly liked Peking Opera, but then because of the reason of the reversal, my throat was broken, at that time, I had some resistance to Peking Opera, so, I was loose in my practice for a while, a little profligate, but once, when I was at home, I heard a conversation between my father and mother, and I was reinvigorated. ”
