Chapter 414: The Only Record of the Four Famous Dans on the Same Stage (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
At half past eight o'clock in the evening of the weekend, Mango Satellite TV's ratings suddenly rose to an unprecedented height, because today is the end of "Yan" Zhili", the tenth episode of the program.
The first nine episodes have accumulated enough attention for this show, and for two months, no program has been able to do "Yan" Reasonably" during this time period.
And today's program, Pei Yanzhi specially explained on Weibo that it should be kept secret, and the viewers who were selected to go to the scene to watch the recording all signed a confidentiality agreement, and before the broadcast, the momentum of the program was maximized.
And those viewers who watched the recording were all silent, but they were so suffocated that they blushed and had thick necks, and they wanted to tell everyone that the last episode of the show was too enjoyable!
Chen Hao is a taxi driver, usually at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it is the best time for business, but what makes him depressed is that there are so few people on the road today!
Suddenly saw a person beckoning in front of him, Chen Hao was excited in his heart, and finally lived, and immediately came to this person's side with a handsome tail flick.
This is a young girl, open the back door of the taxi, get in, look at the phone, and say, "Master, happy home, hurry up!"
Chen Hao glanced at the little girl, pressed down the meter, and turned on the radio with his hand, wanting to listen to music.
As soon as the voice came out, the little girl said impatiently, "Master, please turn off the music, I can't hear the sound of the show!"
Chen Hao was also as good as a stream, turned off the radio, his ears involuntarily pricked up, and he heard a somewhat familiar voice from behind.
"Hello everyone, welcome to watch my program, 'Yan' is reasonable, this program is sponsored by my senior sister and co-produced by Mango Satellite TV and Dream Media!"
With a familiar voice and a familiar senior sister sponsorship, Chen Hao's eyes lit up, and he said to the little girl behind him with a smile, "I said that there are so few people outside today, it turns out that Pei Yanzhi's show has started!"
When the little girl heard this, she finally raised her head, revealing a delicate face, and said with a smile, "Oh, it turns out that the uncle also knows Pei Yanzhi!"
Chen Hao, who was in his early thirties, felt a tightness in his chest, how could he become an uncle.
Chen Hao touched his bearded face, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I don't want to know, but every day my radio is playing his songs, and the young people in my car are talking about him, and when I get home, my wife and daughter are also talking about him, and I feel that my life has been surrounded by him!"
The little girl was a little funny when she heard what Chen Hao said, and said with a smile, "Yes, now Boss Pei is the most popular actor in China, but unfortunately, I didn't get to go to the scene this time, it's really not open, I haven't been drawn ten times, I'm so angry! Okay, uncle, I won't tell you, you can drive well, I'm going to watch the show!"
The corners of Chen Hao's mouth twitched, you can watch the show when you watch it, why do you still call someone uncle, even if it is like calling the master at the beginning!
......
Among the TV sets of thousands of households, Mango Satellite TV.
Pei Yanzhi looked at the audience and said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, it's time to get to the last episode, time flies really fast, the audience of this episode, I can tell you responsibly, you are so lucky, this episode of the show will be a very unforgettable memory in your life." β
Looking at the excited but puzzled faces in the audience, Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "Let's take a look at the layout on the stage today, it is very different from usual, because in the last issue of "Yan", I specially invited a few guests to introduce some small stories of Liyuan Xing. β
In the past, there was a Taishi chair in the middle, and a sandalwood case was placed next to it, on which Pei Yanzhi's teapot and some props were placed, but today's stage decoration is very interesting, a long table is placed in the center of the stage, and five chairs are placed in the back, which makes the audience speculate that it seems that the number of guests who came this time is really a lot, at least four people.
The audience's hearts are also itchy, and the audience in front of the TV is scratching their ears and guessing each other, and the fans watching on the Internet can't see Pei Yanzhi's face on the screen for a long time, all of them have been covered by the barrage.
Pei Yanzhi pointed to the position on the stage and said with a smile, " A few days ago, at the Golden Eagle Awards, there were many old-timers who were asked to stand in the C position, looking at the old-timers with a blank look, some people ridiculed them for not understanding the trend, old-fashioned, in fact, it is not right to say this, because this C position is a popular word, its origin should be from online games, in some games, people call the position of the core output carry or center, and then our entertainment industry took this and used it in the poster or the position of the appearance, and the person who stood in the middle was the C positionγ β
"Speaking of the C position, over the years, there have been a lot of jokes in the entertainment industry in order to compete for the C position, not that I am biased, I think it seems that women attach more importance to the importance of the C position, all along, the entertainment industry has used what 'Four Little Flowers' to describe those actresses who have been very popular recently, what is practical is the name of our Peking Opera industry, like the 'Five Great Flowers' in our Peking Opera industry, Mei Zu must be ranked in the middle, and no one else can compete with Mei Zu for this position. β
"These five positions on the stage, the middle position, should be the one with the highest status today, who is this, I won't say it first!"
Originally, the audience in the audience was waiting for Pei Yanzhi to say his name, but Pei Yanzhi made a big turn, and the steering wheel couldn't be found.
The audience greeted Pei Yanzhi in the most cordial way they had.
"Huh-"
Pei Yanzhi is also used to being booed, and said with an indifferent face, "In our Peking Opera industry, when it comes to the C position, then we have to mention two Peking Opera artists, one is the ancestor of the Tan family, Mr. Tan Xinpei, and the other is the ancestor of our Mei School, Mr. Mei Lanfang, these two were called the 'King of the Ling World' back then, even Mr. Ma Lianliang, the ancestor of our Ma School, has never received this title, and these two are the well-deserved C positions of the Liyuan Industry back then. β
"It's not just Peking Opera actors who have a battle for the C position, even if it's the old student and Tsing Yi, these two professions, in the history of the development of the Peking Opera industry, there have also been a battle for the C position, from the very beginning of the development of Peking Opera art, no matter what Dan Horn, Flower Face, Wusheng, are all for the old students, no matter how good you are, you are also for the old students, that is, the supporting role. β
"I had a good friend when I was a child, I was a scholar of the high school of swordsman, he was a student of Lao Dan, but after he arrived at the drama school, he went to learn from the old students, why, the teacher of the drama school at that time said to him, child, you are so talented, what kind of Lao Dan sing, even if your Lao Dan sings as well as Li Duokui, you have to be played by others. β
Looking at the blank faces in the audience, Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "Who is Li Duokui, that is the 'Li Duoye' back then, the founder of the Li faction Lao Dan, you just look at the actors who are now active in singing Lao Dan on the Peking Opera stage, no matter who they are, they are all Li factions, you can see how powerful this Mr. Li Duokui is, but such a powerful person, he can't pick a class to sing the leading role, and he also has to play Lao Sheng or Tsing Yi." β
Therefore, the current Peking Opera actors, who are a little talented or ambitious, either go to learn from the old students or learn from Tsing Yi, after all, these two are the C representatives of the Peking Opera industry. β
Pei Yan gave a thumbs up and said, "So, in the very early stage of the development of Peking Opera, Lao Sheng was a well-deserved C position, I also said before, at that time, the Danjiao, the division of labor was too clear, Tsing Yi, Hua Dan, Dao Ma Dan, Lao Dan, Wu Dan, what you learn, what you play on stage, Tsing Yi actors, on the stage is standing and singing, I also said before, in the past, the Dan horn is called holding the stomach and singing silly, that is, this hand has been on the stomach, singing expressionlessly, until there is a genius in the Peking Opera industry,' Tongtian Sect Master 'Wang Yaoqing, this is the singing Danjiao, he is to Mr. Tan Xinpei across the knife, in the process of working with Mr. Tan, the art of Danjiao has undergone earth-shaking changes, he has given Danjiao more forms, the essence of Tsing Yi, Hua Dan, and Dao Ma Dan has been fused together, creating a unique 'flower shirt' such a special industry, and now all Tsing Yi is basically regarded as 'flower shirt' This line. β
"It is because of the appearance of Mr. Wang Yaoqing that the 'Four Famous Dans' have sprung up in the back and provided the most important foundation for this new era of equal emphasis on life and Dan. On June 20, 1927, the "Shuntian Times" published an article on the selection of the "Best Actor of the First Peking Opera Danjiaoer", and finally, the four masters of Mei Shang Cheng Xun were rated as the top four, and Mr. Mei Lanfang was named the leader, and was named the "King of the Ling World", which established the status of our Mei School in the Peking Opera industry. β
"At that time, all the rich people who can invite these four to the house to perform the hall meeting, it is a very face-saving thing, if you can invite these four at the same time, it is not only rich, as I said before, Du Yuesheng of the magic capital invited all four of them at the ceremony of the completion of the Du Ancestral Hall, and performed a play, called "Four or Five Flower Caves", which was also the most exciting play in the Du Ancestral Hall at that time. β
"The so-called "Four or Five Flower Caves" should actually be called "Five Flower Caves" It is a big drama of Peking Opera Harlequin, which is generally performed when the box is sealed in the past, very lively, absurd, the content is Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian, the two went to find Wu Song, and they met five monsters in the Five Flower Cave, these five monsters looked at these two people, one tall and one short, one ugly and one handsome, they transformed into the appearance of the two, true and false Wu Dalang, real and false Pan Jinlian, the words are generally the same, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, so they scuffled with each other and came to Yanggu County to complain, and the county Wu cannon could not be distinguished, and the five poisonous spirits conjured up a county master, and made a mess in the courtγ β
"In the original play, one pair of true, one pair of false, this is called "Five Flower Cave", two pairs of true, two pairs of false, is the version of the original performance of the four famous Dan, this is called "Four or Five Flower Cave", this play has more, four true and four false, called "Eight or Five Flower Cave", five true and five false, called "Fifteen Flower Cave", this play is a lively singing, so, the more people, the more lively!"
"At that time, the largest record company, Great Wall Records, specially invited the four famous Dans to make this record, "Four or Five Flower Caves", which is also the only recording of the four famous Dans performing on the same stage that can be handed down, which is very precious. β
Pei Yanzhi beckoned in the direction of the door, Liu Liansheng and another backstage actor carried a big gramophone and put it on the table in the middle.
Pei Yanzhi looked at this gramophone and said with a smile, "This gramophone was Mr. Mei Lanfang's favorite object back then, I specially invited it from Mei Mansion, and the most important thing is this wooden box!"
Pei Yanzhi picked up the wooden box and said solemnly, "What is stored here is the record that the four famous artists recorded together!"
Pei Yanzhi opened the wooden box, took out a sealed record from it, and said, "Because the time of the record is too long, some parts of the magnetism in it have disappeared, so this record can only be used as a collector's item and cannot be played, I have to say that it is a very regrettable thing." β
The audience also sighed in disappointment, Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "You don't have to be too sad, we still have a record here, which was specially repiled by my master Mr. Mei Wenjiu thirty years ago, although the effect is not very good, but it is also the only sound left in the world by the four masters." β
Liu Liansheng came to the stage again, took a record, put it on the record player, and began to debug.
This kung fu, Pei Yanzhi said to the audience, "When it comes to the original production of this record, it can be regarded as a lot of work, first of all, it is the processing of the word cavity, the original record can hold a very short time, one side is three minutes and fifteen seconds, because this section is Xipi Adagio, so the time for a sentence to sing is very long, if you follow the kind of singing method on the stage, the two of them sing a sentence together, and then the next two people are left to sing a sentence together, because there is no change in the word cavity before and after, it will be difficult to distinguish each person's specialty in the record." Therefore, in the end, it was decided to sing a solo sentence for each person, with different lyrics and self-composed singing. β
