Chapter 429: The Label on the Head of a Peking Opera Actor
Pei Yanzhi glanced at the surprised Pei Jingqi, and said with a smile, "One night, when I came out to pour water, I heard a quarrel in my parents' bedroom, I quietly walked over and heard my mother say with some dissatisfaction, you see that the child is no longer interested in Peking Opera now, and his voice no longer allows him to sing, you can't let the child be so wasted in the future!"
Pei Jingqi was stunned, his face showed a trace of astonishment, he remembered the conversation between husband and wife, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect to be heard by this kid.
Pei Yanzhi continued, "At that time, I heard my father say in a very deep voice, wait a minute, I think this kid still likes Peking Opera, he just can't turn this corner now, his voice is only one aspect, after many famous actors were defeated, they found another way and found their own way, you let me try again!"
"My mother couldn't help it at the time, and her voice was a little helpless, saying, give you a year at most, if he still doesn't want to learn, you can't stop him anymore, let him go with me to learn drama, we don't have such high requirements for voice. โ
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, " My voice was a little dumb at the time, I couldn't sing with a false voice, but there was no problem with acting in a drama, full of energy, and finally I heard my father use a very sad voice, whispered, try again, at that time my tears fell, I can feel how sad my father was when he said this, how desperate, I was his only hope, how many good seedlings wanted to worship my father's door, but my father didn't want any of them, and wanted to cultivate me well, you can imagine what kind of mood my father knew when my voice was ruinedใ โ
The audience looked at Pei Jingqi on the stage, looked at this respectable father, and couldn't help but applaud to express their respect for him.
Pei Yanzhi also bowed to his father, Pei Jingqi was willing, with a look of pride and pride.
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "From that day on, I am no longer confused, for the sake of my father, I also have to learn drama well, even if I can't sing in the future, I can't let my father down, so I started to practice hard, I hope my father will no longer be sad!"
Looking at such a filial son, Pei Jingqi's eyes were also slightly red, and a line of old tears was almost coming out.
Pei Yan said with a smile on his face, "It is estimated that my diligence touched Master Zu and rewarded me with this good voice, so that I can sing again, this is my happiest thing." โ
For example, I am now telling you that I am a Peking Opera actor, and everything else is my hobby, many people think that I am pretending to be bohe, but in my heart, I do think so, everyone, you must give yourself a very clear positioning, what are you doing, with this clear positioning, you can move forward in a down-to-earth manner. โ
"Just like many actors now, it's because of the blur of their positioning, so they disappeared without a trace within a few years of their debut, if you are a singer, you will honestly write songs and sing, this is your business, when your industry reaches a certain height, you can cross borders, act, do variety shows, in the end, you still have to return to your original business, singers, if you invest too much in acting and variety shows, and you can't come back, then you are very dangerous. โ
"So, for me, Peking Opera is my business, everything else, whether it is singing, acting, doing variety shows, is for Peking Opera, in this current era, we can't be like the past, a Peking Opera actor can drive the traffic of a city, so we can only find another way, I go to sing, those who like my songs, love the house and Wuxia, no matter how much or less, will listen to my play, slowly, the fans are cultivated, after listening to my play, I feel that it is not enjoyable, then go to listen to other people's plays, this is also my contribution to the opera industry๏ผโ
The audience in the audience shouted loudly and applauded again and again.
Even the four elders on the stage applauded lightly with a look of relief, indeed, it is undeniable that Pei Yanzhi has brought a large number of young audiences to watch Peking Opera in the past two years, which is a very remarkable contribution.
Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "Now this society is the best era for Peking Opera actors, because our status has improved, no one will say things like 'female cousins are ruthless, and dramas are unrighteous', we will not be looked down upon when we come out and go in, even if we say in front of the public, I am Peking Opera actor Pei Yanzhi, no one will look down on me!" We would like to thank this era and the predecessors of Peking Opera who have worked hard to improve the status of Peking Opera, and with them, we can stand here with our heads held high today. โ
"But this is the worst era of Peking Opera, because this era is full of lights, all kinds of art forms make everyone dizzy, Peking Opera is no longer everyone's first choice, in this era, we Peking Opera people need to face it with greater enthusiasm and more energy, we can't hope that the old-timers will bloom their artistic brilliance again,"
Saying that, Pei Yanzhi gestured to the four elders sitting behind him, looking at these elders, even the youngest Pei Jingqi had already dyed his sideburns white, their time had passed, and they had done their best in their time, no one could say anything to them.
"Now this era belongs to our era, in this era, we must give full play to our own light, illuminate a glorious road for Peking Opera, let Peking Opera continue to walk along this glorious road, towards glory, and once again bloom the glory of Peking Opera!"
Pei Yanzhi's words were sonorous and powerful, not only the audience stood up excitedly and applauded, but the four elders behind him were also excited, looking at Pei Yanzhi's back, it really seemed to see the glorious future of Peking Opera.
After everyone's emotions calmed down, Pei Yanzhi beckoned a person to come up from the side, holding a board in his hand, and handed it to Pei Yanzhi.
Everyone wondered, what is this, could it be that Pei Yanzhi forgot the words?
If these words are heard by Li Dan or Wang Jianguo, they have to take a sip of you, what is the, how can Pei Yanzhi have words, there is a framework on his script, how many points to say today, how long do you have to say each point, just such a piece of paper, every time they see this piece of paper, Li Dan and Wang Jianguo feel that Pei Yanzhi is not a person, this is a special fairy, he is making up words on stage, thinking of where to say, this skill is really impressive.
Pei Yanzhi turned this board upside down and let everyone see it, there are four labels on it, which say "uneducated", "very capable of acting", "fake Qinggao" and "ruthless and unrighteous".
Everyone was a little stunned, what is this, who is Boss Pei going to scold?
Because this board is facing the camera, the four elders on the stage don't know what is written on the board, but looking at the surprised faces of the audience, they also know that it is definitely not a good word.
Pei Yanzhi held the board and said with a smile, "Everyone sees that there are four labels on it, uneducated, very capable of acting, fake and high, ruthless and unjust!"
After speaking, Pei Yanzhi glanced at the four elders behind him and asked them to take a look as well.
As soon as these four people look at it, they know what the four labels on it mean.
Pei Yanzhi knocked on the board with his hand and said, "These four labels are the labels that others put on the actors of our Liyuan Tour." โ
As soon as the audience heard this, they reacted, it turned out that this was the meaning, everyone thought about it again, it seems that this is really the case!
Pei Yanzhi said, "So, I want to break these labels attached to the heads of our opera actors today, let's first say that this is not cultured, in the past, there was indeed this phenomenon, after all, the average singing children are ordinary people, they can't afford to eat, they don't want it at home, they are sent to learn opera, they grew up in the opera troupe since they were children, they do housework every day, clean up, practice and learn opera, and they have no chance to learn culture, but to say that they are not educated, it is a bit too underestimate them." โ
"What is culture, culture has nothing to do with academic qualifications, just like saying that a person who graduated from primary school, as long as he reads more books in the future, he will continue to write, and still become a literate person, you can't just say that he has no education because he has only studied for a few years, this statement is too one-sided. โ
"Just like the four elders sitting behind me, each of them is knowledgeable enough to teach at a university, and then there are eight great students and five famous men, each of whom is a versatile master and artist, because if you don't have culture, you won't have a deep understanding of the stories in Peking Opera, and you won't be able to understand what the social background of the people in the play is. โ
"Especially today, every Peking Opera performer's cultural class performance must meet the standard, and various art categories also need to be able to touch the class, so now, the label of 'no culture' on the head of Peking Opera actors can be thrown away!"
As he spoke, Pei Yanzhi tore off the label of "no culture" on the board and threw it away.
The applause from the audience immediately burst into applause.
Pei Yanzhi smiled and pointed to the second label.
"'Very capable of acting', this label is actually very difficult to hear in the past, this performance does not mean that you are good on the stage, but that Peking Opera actors are more able to act offstage, saying that we see people and talk about people, and when we see ghosts, we laugh and smile when we meet, and when there is no one behind them, in the past, in the eyes of the public, Peking Opera actors are such people!"
