Chapter 422: Master Jiu, it's quite similar
Pei Yanzhi glanced at the four elders and said with a smile, "Today, let's let everyone see our Pei family's 'plastic father-son relationship', come on, father, the first one is you, anyway, if you beat me, I'll sue my mother!"
The audience in the audience was going to be laughed to death by this "face" person, and he actually said "sue my mother" so righteously!
Pei Yanyi stretched out his hand and said, "The two of us have parted ways just now, you said you wouldn't let me get too close to you, then I will be as good as a stream, you are still sitting on the very side, so that we don't have to get tired of seeing each other, the farther away the better!"
Pei Jingqi also nodded approvingly, and said, "Okay, it's enough that you know you hate it, I like this position very much!"
Looking at the remaining three masters, Pei Yanzhi had an idea and said, "Since I just talked about "Journey to the West", then let's follow the rules in "Journey to the West", the three masters, just follow the order of my apprenticeship, and sit down in order!"
According to Pei Yanzhi, the seat of these four elders should be, starting from Pei Yanzhi's side, the first is Mr. Mei Wenjiu, the second is Mr. Han Pingzheng, the third is Mr. Gao Feng, and the fourth is Mr. Pei Jingqi.
Although this kind of seat was chosen by Pei Yan with a pat on the head, it is actually quite exquisite.
The first is because Pei Yanzhi said that according to the order of apprenticeship, there is nothing to blame for such a position.
The second is because of Mei Wenjiu's identity, if there is no C position, then the closer to Pei Yanzhi, the "host", the more noble it is.
Therefore, Pei Yanzhi's choice was actually very carefully considered.
It was also because of Pei Jingqi's cooperation that this matter was successfully resolved.
After everyone sat down, the guilt in Mei Wenjiu's heart slowly subsided, but the guilt for Pei Yanzhi rose again, and his accusation against Pei Yanzhi just now seemed a bit excessive.
However, from ancient times to the present, there is no reason for a master to admit his mistakes to his apprentices.
Mei Wenjiu said with a smile, " Yan Zhi's program, I have been watching, very good, for the promotion of Peking Opera has played a great role, in the past, many people want to understand Peking Opera, but he did not have this way to understand, before our Peking Opera industry is not no one thought of doing a program to introduce Peking Opera, but most of them are documentaries, in fact, that kind of film is indeed a very interesting film for people who like Peking Opera, but for those audiences who have not yet started, it is a bit tasteless.
However, Yan Zhi's program is very good, in a very witty way, some small stories of Peking Opera, the rules of Peking Opera, and some tricks of Peking Opera are all displayed on the stage one by one, which has a very big impetus to Peking Opera, and the performance results of the two months reported by Peking Opera theaters in various places have increased the number of audiences very significantly, and the younger generation of opera fans has also progressed very rapidly! This is the result of Yan Zhi's efforts over the years! Now many colleagues in the Peking Opera industry have expressed their good feelings for Yan Zhi to me. β
Mei Wenjiu patted Pei Yanzhi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Keep working hard, don't be proud, keep your original intention, and sing well!"
These sixteen words, each of which represents Mr. Mei Wenjiu's expectation and recognition, smashed on Pei Yanzhi's heart like a hammer, making Pei Yanzhi's blood boil all over his body, and his eyes were red with excitement.
Pei Yanzhi stood up, bowed respectfully to the four elders, and said affectionately, "Please rest assured that my father and the three masters will never give up Peking Opera in this life, because this is my life!"
There is no need to make any poisonous oaths, no flags, let alone some illusory promises, just such a simple sentence made the four elders nod their heads one after another, because the sentence "Peking Opera is my life" has come to an end!
Han Pingzheng nodded his hand on the side and asked Pei Yanzhi to sit down, and he said with a smile, " Yanzhi's current achievements, everyone is looking at it, what will happen in the future, the old man still dare not say, but in the immediate future, over the years, no one has been able to surpass him's contribution, Peking Opera is still different from many of the current arts, the art of Jiao'er, there must be a seat to support, both are indispensable, so, what Yanzhi is doing now is to increase the number of seats, so next, whether you can keep the seats, it depends on whether our Peking Opera actors are really capable, that is, to see if you have the ability to play the role!"
Listening to Han Pingzheng's words, several people on the stage nodded one after another, the current Peking Opera industry is very different from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the theater troupe in the system, instead of the grass head team in the past, although it is said that the people who sing the opera are paid salaries and leave a mouthful of food, but such a system makes people inert, especially those Peking Opera actors who are not highly talented, anyway, they sing well in a month, and they have so much money, and they generally sing so much money, and even if they sing in general, the audience below can't hear it, so a large number of Peking Opera actors have turned singing into going to work, being a monk for a day and hitting the bell for a day, and practicing are slackγ
There will be a lot of such people in every troupe, so the current Peking Opera industry will become so sluggish, the audience doesn't like to watch, the actors are even more slack, and if the actors are slack, the play will not look good, and over time, the audience will not come, and the vicious circle will continue, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although the market for Peking Opera is booming again, there are still all kinds of problems, those young people who want to see the art of Peking Opera because of Pei Yanzhi, after entering the opera garden, the Peking Opera they hear does not meet the standards in their minds, which makes them have a greater rebellion against Peking Opera, thinking that Pei Yanzhi is lying.
Therefore, now, the quality of Peking Opera performers needs to be further strengthened in order to keep these would-be opera fans who flock to the opera garden and become real opera fans.
Mei Wenjiu said with a smile, "Yes, now that our market seems to be showing signs of recovery, then our actors have to be more attentive to keep people, it can't be said that Yan Zhi helped them make the meal and put it on the table, they didn't come to eat, and they saw that the rice was cold, smelly, and poured, and then they remembered that they were still hungry, so it's not okay!"
Listening to Jiu Ye's humorous metaphor, the audience also applauded.
Pei Yanzhi looked at his elders and said with a smile, "These elders of mine, to put it mildly, they are the Taishan Beidou in the Peking Opera industry today, and their love for Peking Opera does not need to be said, this life has been used in Peking Opera, so we want to talk about how to live for our love today!"
"Speaking of love, I feel a little ashamed, because just now you also heard my master Gao tell my father, I was basically lazy when I was a child, in fact, I think this is still understandable, after all, it is not like they were back then, at that time, what was the purpose of learning drama, for love,......
Pei Yanyi glanced at the four elders with a weak face, looked at them looking at him with a smile on their faces, smiled, and said, "Maybe, but it's more for living, for learning a craft, a craft for eating, in fact, most Peking Opera actors are like this, and they just regard this art as a means of making a living." β
But when Peking Opera actors reach a certain level, there are two ways to choose, the first way is to really regard this art as a craft for eating, then this life is like this, because there is no need to work hard, their skills are enough, enough to support their families, and even to live a good life. β
"The second way, that is, to continue to study, continue to work hard, this, you need to have a deep affection for Peking Opera, because this is not forced with a gun, this must be done from your heart, want to improve, this is to ask the actors to really love Peking Opera. β
"Like those great masters and artists, everyone is full of love for their industry, even if there are many artists who will say, I hate this art so much, but if there is no deep love, where can I hate it from the heart!"
"Like my four elders on the stage, each of them is full of love for Peking Opera, and they have come to their current position. β
Mei Wenjiu said with a smile, "Yan Zhi is right, the art of Peking Opera, although it looks high now, in fact, at the beginning, it was a means of making a living, no different from shaving the head and pedicure, and at that time, those who sang opera were called the lower nine streams!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the audience, "Master Jiu, I always hear that this is a ninth-rate, what does it mean!"
Mei Wenjiu was asked like this, and he was a little stunned, this statement of the lower ninth rate was only handed down from the past, and he had not studied this, so he really didn't know what it was.
Pei Yanzhi reacted quickly, and said with a smile, "This question, the master talked to me at the beginning, why don't I talk to the big guy!"
Mei Wenjiu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll see how much you remember!"
Han Ping was on the side to see Mei Wenjiu's small movements, when he was asked what the lower ninth stream was just now, Mei Wenjiu's hand clenched directly, Han Ping was his friend for many years, and he was very familiar with this action of his old friend, Jiu Ye only had such a small action when he was nervous and angry, and even Jiu Ye himself was not clear.
was asked by the audience just now, Jiu Ye was not angry, that is, he was nervous, Han Pingzheng was happy in his heart, Jiu Ye, pretending to be quite similar!
