Chapter 291: The insidious deeds backstage of the Spring Festival Gala
Director Zhang was stunned when asked, and looked at Pei Yanzhi and Li Zhengsu with a confused expression, I don't know what dumb riddle the two of them were playing just now, why did they say a "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", Pei Yanzhi's face became so ugly, and he was uncharacteristically so sharp to himself.
Director Zhang said with some dissatisfaction, "Mr. Pei, I don't understand what you mean, I think this is a trivial matter, as for you to get it so online, isn't it just a change of costume, what's the big deal!"
Pei Yanzhi couldn't believe that this was from the mouth of an assistant director in charge of Peking Opera for the Spring Festival Gala, and couldn't help but wonder for a while, and looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that he was really aggrieved and didn't know anything, so Pei Yanzhi asked lightly, "Hasn't Director Zhang heard a word from the Peking Opera world?"
Director Zhang asked curiously, "What words?"
Pei Yan said word by word, "I'd rather wear it than wear it wrong!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Li Zhengsu showed a touch of relief in his eyes, and his eyes when he looked at Pei Yanzhi were also much softer, and compared with Pei Yanzhi, many young Peking Opera actors around him were at a loss, including this Director Zhang.
Although Director Zhang doesn't know the deep meaning of this sentence, this sentence is too simple, and the meaning is very clear, that is, this dress is definitely not something that cannot be worn wrong!
In fact, the "broken" in this sentence does not mean tattered, but because it is ugly, if the troupe is relatively poor, as long as the clothes worn are in line with the identity and status of this person, you don't have to use any gorgeous clothes to set off, but you must not wear the wrong clothes, just like you play a scholar, you can't let him wear a python robe, this is the most fundamental thing.
However, these rules have been established in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but now, Pei Yanzhi has found that there are still many actors who wear very inappropriate costumes when they are on stage.
In ancient times, when someone was singing, he was discovered by the audience below because he wore the wrong costume, and reported it directly to the official, and the singing was taken to the government at that time.
But this won't be the case now, but if you wear it wrong, you will always be laughed at by insiders, and you will laugh at it generously.
Director Zhang looked dissatisfied, thinking that Pei Yanzhi was deliberately looking for trouble, and said, "Mr. Pei, although I am not singing, I still have a deep understanding of Peking Opera, you see that today Ms. Li Zhengsu is going to sing "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", playing the role of a fairy, and this dress is the clothes of Roselle in "Luoshen", Roselle is also a fairy, both are fairies, there should not be much difference in this dress, so, I don't think there is any problem!"
Director Zhang also said that it was reasonable, and the actors on the side couldn't stop nodding, thinking that they were all fairies, so even if the costume was wrong, there was no problem, after all, the costume could not be worn.
Pei Yanzhi snorted coldly and said, "Director Zhang, it seems that you have also studied these two plays!"
A trace of panic flashed in Director Zhang's eyes, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, and said, "I'm the assistant director in charge of Peking Opera, of course I need to know more, what's so strange about this!"
Pei Yanzhi kept looking at him coldly, and said lightly, "But you don't know that the goddess in "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" is a fairy in Buddhism, and the goddess of Luo in "Luoshen" is a fairy in Taoism, the two can't be compared at all, are you letting a monk wear Taoist clothes to the stage to recite the immeasurable Tianzun?"
Li Zhengsu couldn't help but sip secretly on the side, saying Who is the monk, this unlucky child!
Pei Yanzhi didn't know that he had been "grudged" by Li Zhengsu, and looked at Director Zhang with a serious face.
Director Zhang showed a flustered expression, and said stubbornly, "The audience below may not know this, as long as Ms. Li Zhengsu sings well, who will pay attention to what is wrong with her costume?"
Pei Yanzhi said coldly, "There will always be people who know, for example, the person who specializes in soiling my senior sister's costume!"
Director Zhang was a little hairy by Pei Yanzhi's knife-like eyes, looked at a little girl next to him, and said sternly, "Tong Yiren, how do you take care of the clothes, how did you get the clothes dirty!"
Pei Yanzhi's eyes looked at this twenty-five or sixteen-year-old girl with an aggrieved face.
Tong Yiren wanted to refute, but he didn't know what he thought, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, careless, I dropped that costume on the ground, there happened to be a puddle of water there, so the costume has been scrapped!"
Pei Yanzhi glanced at Director Zhang next to him, and secretly said in his heart, what a decisive approach.
You must know that the costumes of Peking Opera actors, especially the costumes of this kind of valuable costumes, are all hand-embroidered with colorful silk threads, and the costumes are very beautiful, but the consequence of pursuing beauty is that the costumes are very delicate, and they must not encounter water, and they will rot when they encounter water, that is, if you throw this costume into the water and take it out, the costume will be wasted.
So in the past, there were coat boxes in the troupe, and when the clothes were changed, if they were stained with sweat or something, they would spray them with white wine, and when they dried, the sweat would volatilize with the alcohol, and then fold them and put them directly in their coat boxes, and they would never hang them out casually.
Pei Yanzhi looked at Tong Yiren and asked, "How long have you been doing clothing management?"
Tong Yiren looked up at Pei Yan for a moment, then lowered his head like a frightened rabbit, and whispered, "It's been five years!"
Pei Yanzhi shook his head and said, "It's been five years, you should know the importance of this costume very well, and this costume is still my senior sister wants to wear, I believe you won't let this costume fall to the ground so easily! It's definitely not you, you just need to tell who did it, I'll call the shots for you, if you think I can't be the master, I can go and invite my two masters in now!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Director Zhang's face directly turned pale, he lowered his head, and his body kept shaking.
Tong Yiren glanced at Director Zhang, swallowed his saliva, settled down, and said, "Yes, yes, it was Director Zhang who poured a bottle of mineral water on his costume!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the entire backstage was about to fry, and there were many heirs of the Mei faction here, and they were so angry that they were so angry that they were apricot eyes wide and scolded.
Li Zhengsu looked at Pei Yanzhi, with an expression of "you kid did a good job", took his mobile phone from the side, dialed the phone, and said, "The costume of the goddess, CCTV backstage, come quickly!"
Li Zhengsu dialed his own costume management phone, you must know that in the backstage of the drama troupe, costume management is a very important position, because just like today's incident, if you meet some actors who don't know how to do it, you will really let Director Zhang fool him.
Because there are many actors who don't know what kind of costumes they should wear to the stage, mainly because there are too many costumes in Peking Opera, in short, they are divided into five categories, pythons, draperies, leans, pleats, and clothes.
"Python", that is, python robes, are the common dress of emperors or officials with status, and are usually called "official clothes".
"Veil" is the regular clothes worn by officials at all levels and their dependents at home, just like when Mu Guiying sang "Fierce Listening", she wore it.
"Rely on" is the general uniform of military generals, which is divided into hard, soft, female, overlord, and improved.
"Pleat", the word in the dictionary is pronounced as "者", but when everyone in Peking Opera usually mentions this word, his pronunciation is "learning", this kind of costume style is a bit like the kind of clothes worn by monks and veterans, with a large oblique collar, oblique placket, and long robes and large sleeves, so it is also called Taoist robes.
"Clothes", and all other costumes that are not counted in the above four costumes, are counted as "clothes".
There are so many costumes, it is difficult for you to get an actor to remember these, so you need to have a very knowledgeable costume management, called "box", and in the past, each troupe would have a lot of suitcases, and those large troupes would have a set of "official boxes" (that is, shared lines), this basic equipment generally includes all the footsteps and costumes of the opera performance, which is general, so it is also called "full box".
The whole box is divided into coat box, second suitcase, third suitcase, helmet box, boots and shoes box, and handle box. The costumes are different, so I won't repeat them one by one.
In the past, each of these boxes would have a special "boxer" to watch, and it was impossible for outsiders to touch it.
And there is also a rule in the troupe, that is, people are not allowed on these suitcases, especially the coat boxes, because there may be dragon robes inside, and it is disrespectful to sit on them.
That is, Li Zhengsu had a number in his heart, so he argued with Director Zhang, but Director Zhang wanted to fool the past, but was directly debunked by Pei Yanzhi.
This incident has been so far, it has become a big trouble, even the director heard the news, came to the backstage with a blue face, and without saying a word, let Director Zhang be taken away first, and apologized to Li Zhengsu first, saying that this matter would definitely give her a satisfactory explanation.
Although this matter is not a big deal, but there is something hidden behind it, but it is very intriguing, a small assistant director, who dares to brush the tiger whiskers of the Mei faction, and it is Li Zhengsu, who is proud of the spring breeze, this is simply an act of death, but since he did it, it must not be his own problem behind it.
But Pei Yanzhi didn't care about this kind of problem, and soon, the new costumes had been sent, and Pei Yanzhi had also finished his makeup and was waiting to go on stage.
This little thing backstage quickly spread to the audience in front.
After Mei Wenjiu heard this, the smile on his face did not decrease, but there was a trace of fierceness in his eyes, and he continued to chat with Han Pingzheng.
Han Pingzheng smiled slightly, and said, "Your Mei family has such a Li Zhengsu, and Yan Zhi has been included in the account, and now you Mei sent into the fire to cook oil, flowers and brocade, the scenery is infinite, there will naturally be open guns and dark arrows, this time this trick is still quite insidious, if Su Su is not careful, he will fall for his trick!"
Mei Wenjiu also said with a smile, "Yes, thanks to Yan Zhi arguing on the side, I didn't expect Yan Zhi to be so young and know so much about these things, it shouldn't be you who taught you!"
Han Pingzheng couldn't help but pause, and said stubbornly, "Of course I taught it, didn't I teach it, could it be that you can't teach it?"
Mei Wenjiu said disdainfully, "Cut, you will teach him these things, you will not be Han Pingzheng!"
The two couldn't help but look at Pei Jingqi and Gao Feng not far away, only to see the two of them smiling and discussing something.
Mei Wenjiu and Han Pingzheng couldn't help but pout, these two people couldn't teach Yan Zhi these things, but how could this kid know so clearly!
The audience in front of the TV and the audience in front of the TV don't know much about these things in the background, and it is estimated that these things will not break out until midnight.
It's finally time for the "Opera Gala" that everyone is most concerned about.
The opening Henan Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Cantonese Opera all won everyone's applause, and finally came to the Peking Opera link.
The opening scene is Li Zhengsu's "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", she took the four celestial maidens to appear together, which was beautiful.
Li Zhengsu held a piece of colored silk in his hand, singing and dancing at the same time, just like dancing water sleeves, and dancing the colored silk in his hand like colorful clouds, it was really like a woman descending to earth in the world that day.
didn't know that Li Zhengsu almost had the most critical moment in his career, if Pei Yanzhi didn't come forward, maybe Li Zhengsu would be forced to be helpless, and finally he could only wear Luoshen's costume to perform on stage, then there would be a lot of unfavorable news for Li Zhengsu on the Internet the next day.
#专业京剧演员李正素在春晚舞台竟然穿错了衣服, is it the business or the ignorance?#
This kind of news is estimated to become everyone's after-dinner conversation the next day, although it will not have much impact on Li Zhengsu, after all, Li Zhengsu's identity and status have become those people at the top of the pyramid in the Peking Opera industry, but this kind of disgusting thing may have some fluctuations in her heart, so the wish of the black hand behind the scenes will be achieved.
"What's going on, what's going on with Lee Jung-so's costume?"
"I can't contact Zhang Buyu now!"
"Does he know your identity?"
"I don't know!"
"It's really a waste, I can't do this thing! No, I have to go find the old man, in case that Jiu Ye goes crazy, I can't afford to provoke it!"
......
Lee Jung-so's appearance won a full house.
"Susu is so beautiful!"
"The goddess of immortality!"
"Susu, I love you!"
"Susu, Mei Pai Da Qingyi, fairy!"
......
Li Zhengsu's performance on stage is really like a fairy, and the colorful silk in his hand is also beautiful, under the backdrop of the stage lighting and the stage behind him, the audience under the stage and in front of the TV is really like falling into a fairyland.
