Chapter 4 Kunqu Opera Peach Blossom Fan!
"Xiao Ran asked us to go out for a trip, do you think it's better to travel anywhere?" The father sat on the chair in the room, his face couldn't help but be happy.
As a parent, there is nothing happier than seeing your child grow up, happy to be independent, to grow up, to be able to stop worrying about him.
"Didn't Xiao Ran say that he was going to Jingzhou City to record the show, we also went over, and there was nothing to do with the front foot, when he recorded the show, we went directly to the scene to see, isn't it good to be an ordinary audience, and when there is no recording, we will go around Jingzhou City, where there are many attractions. Mother put down the needlework in her hand and said with a smile.
"Done, that's it!"
......
Early the next morning, Jiang Ran stepped on the train to Jingzhou City, how many pedestrians on the car, coming and going, when they were bored in the car, it was just right to think about life, a train of people, after a short period of the same journey, I am afraid that they will not meet again.
It's actually boring and tight.,Although the train isn't bumpy.,But it takes a long time.,Looking out the window at the scenery coming and going.,It doesn't seem to be a thing worth remembering.。。
Life is the same, like a huge train, carrying people coming and going, where the car stops, where is the end, some people get off the train and some people come up, endlessly spreading.
A melodious singing voice sounded, making Jiang Ran's eyes look over.
The sound cavity is tactful and elegant, soft and graceful, and the water mill cavity?
Kunqu Opera.
What is the water mill cavity, like the Jiangnan people's water mill lacquerware, water mill glutinous rice flour, water mill rice cake as delicate and soft glutinous, tenderness, this is the oldest kind of repertoire, known as the ancestor of a hundred operas, but also has a refreshing charm.
I didn't hang up the headphones to listen slowly, but turned on the external amplifier, but in this noisy carriage, even if I turned on the external amplifier, the sound was very low.
Jiang Ran didn't expect that on the train, he would also be able to meet people who also like Kunqu Opera.
Kunqu Opera's "Peach Blossom Fan", Kunqu Opera can stand out among so many operas, and has long been listed as a world-class intangible cultural heritage.
It was a girl in a white dress, about nineteen or twenty years old, with a beautiful face and a calm face, seeing Jiang Ran looking over, she also smiled politely, and then lowered the voice on the mobile phone.
Although the sound is very low, but that kind of charm is to make the noisy train have a piece of silence, Kunqu opera is suitable for listening quietly, it can be very immersed, it can calm people, make people's mood return to peace.
Along the way, there were not too many words.
The Kunqu opera along the way made Jiang Ran's expression a little soothing, listening to the opera is a kind of enjoyment, and even whether it is a civil and military ugly opera, or some big martial arts Huadan opera, it is another kind of enjoyment, the visual and auditory impact, which is not available in the entertainment methods on the side, so people in the past liked to listen to operas very much, and when there was demand, the supply came up.
In the opera garden, there are even more flowers, there are literati and artists, there are dignitaries, and there are also some ordinary people who understand opera and like this art.
The previous Jingkun years, accompanied by the old pear orchard, are gone.
Spring is coming, but it is not the spring day in the pear orchard, the old costumes, the old babbling, from few people to no one understands.
Turned into the dust of the times, buried forever in that unknown history, this is the fate of the opera, just like Daiyu buried flowers with tears, today's funeral flower people laugh at me, tomorrow bury me know who it is?
But now it seems that Kunqu Opera has once again ascended to the Hall of Elegance, and since it has become a world-class Elegance, how many people have listened to Kunqu Opera again is not for the sake of vassal elegance, but is really attracted by its charm.
Hundreds of years of inheritance and improvement, but now it is no longer a stereotyped model, but it has its own unique way of playing, from the singing structure, to the ruler notation, to a variety of music cards.
At the end of the line, Jiang Ran got off the bus, and the woman also walked here, along the way, the two sat opposite, but they didn't say a word, they just gave each other a smile, and at the same time, they also knew in their hearts that the other party knew how to play, and they both loved this art.
That's enough, who knows if we will meet again, Kunqu Opera, is it in decline? No!
There are still young and beautiful girls to like and listen to, the charm lies in this, waiting for people to come, art is never a lonely self-appreciation, but it needs to be discovered.
Jiang Ran felt that it was enough, the girl gave him some confidence to restore the tradition, not the stereotype in the impression, art needs a few people to inherit, but it needs a lot of people to listen, and only when someone listens will someone understand, and it will be better inherited and carried forward.
Quyi is like the end of the prosperity, the day is waning, and there are even many places where quyi has completely withered, green and yellow, and the speed of replacement is far less rapid than aging.
Without thinking too much, inheriting high-quality art is what young people should do, not for anything else, but for the pursuit of beauty in their hearts.
After getting off the train, I went straight to the agreed place, I need to arrange accommodation first, and then I will prepare it myself, and I will start recording a promotional video tomorrow morning, so it's time to get busy.
The recording probably lasts for two months, two months, 800,000 yuan, and an average of more than 300,000 yuan a month after tax, which is okay, but I don't know how much investment it takes to invite those judges.
But who knows, maybe the old artists don't need an appearance fee at all, the older generation really likes their art and dedicates their lives to it.
But those old artists don't need it, but Jiang Ran needs it very much, he still has a lot of things to do, every single one of them needs a lot of money, how difficult is it to put an idea into practice from scratch?
If there are no funds, what dreams are there to talk about.
After a few bus transfers, I arrived at the agreed location, which is a hotel, not far from the recording location, and many of the participants have already arrived here, after all, this is a competition, and Jiang Ran came late.
I just sent Gu Qiu a message of arrival, I thought I would get an address and a place to stay, but I didn't expect him to reply directly and wait for me.
In less than ten minutes, Jiang Ran saw this again, invited him across the province, and then introduced the environment here.
"Brother, you're here, come in with me, there is a single room, and there are daily meals, which will be sent directly to the room, don't worry about food and accommodation, according to your physical condition, standardize your diet, and you can also propose what to avoid eating." ”
No matter how big or small, Gu Qiu said it clearly, which made Jiang Ran have a good impression of CCTV.
"In addition, I also brought the contract, you can take a look at it later, of course, if you really have any concerns, it doesn't matter if you don't sign it, Liu Lao's face is worth the price." Gu Qiu said with a smile, "After all, you didn't record halfway and ran away, then we have to ask Liu Lao for an explanation, hahaha." ”
Jiang Ran smiled, but he didn't care, he just signed an agreement, if he was sincere, there was no need to prevaricate with distrust.
The two came to the prepared room, Jiang Ran put the agreement on the table, read it carefully, and was sure that there was no problem, and then wrote down his name one by one.
"It's so neat to write a signature?" Gu Qiu couldn't help but laugh. "The word is like its person, I believe that the Jiang Ran brothers are also the kind of upright one. ”
Jiang Ran shook his head, since he was a child, his mother taught him to write, horizontal or horizontal, vertical or vertical, every stroke must be just right.
Although the current handwriting is not easy to see, but the degree of neatness, Jiang Ran thinks that he is not inferior to those people.
"And we'll see you early tomorrow morning?"
"Do I need to prepare anything?" Jiang Ran asked
Gu Qiu smiled, "It's not necessary to prepare anything, publicity, just sing a few words and pose for it, add background music in the later stage, I understand that the promotional film is like this, if you really want accompaniment, then it's okay, we have a special music team, we just need you to hand over the score, if it's a traditional drama, then you don't need a score at all, if they don't even know this thing, we won't invite them." ”
"Are they all pianists of traditional opera?" Jiang Ran asked softly, and after asking, he felt that he had asked a little more than that, it was a traditional program in itself, if there was not even the most important pianist or anything like that, what kind of traditional national style was it called.
Gu Qiu smiled, "It took a lot of effort to put a lot of thought into it, if you are really not at ease, you can also bring the band over by yourself, these are all reasonable, after all, for people who really like this stage, there may be some problems in the run-in, which will affect the stage effect." ”
"Forget it, I don't care, I'll send you the score later, then I'll see you tomorrow. Jiang Ran said with a smile.
"Okay!" Gu Qiu nodded heavily.
He is still optimistic about Jiang Ran, after all, Master Liu is about to praise him to the sky, saying that it is a guarantee of ratings, that it is the savior of traditional opera, and that it takes 500 years to produce such a genius.
Although I also feel that some words are not true, after all, the history of Peking Opera is only how many years, from the beginning of the Hui Troupe into Beijing, it has only been more than 200 years, and it is a genius who has been seen once in 500 years, so it is not the same era as Kunqu Opera.
However, Gu Qiu has been watching people for so many years, and has always believed that there is no vanity under the fame, and besides, he still let an opera master recommend it like this, and the person is not bad, so he paid special attention to it for a while.
The conversation was very speculative, but it didn't take long for Gu Qiu to look at the time, "Brother, I'm sorry, I still have a little thing to do." ”
"Then you go and get busy with you, don't be polite to me. Jiang Ran said with a smile.
At the end, Jiang Ran asked again, "In addition, brother, are you a planner or a director?"
"I, just go and find out. Gu Qiu said with a smile, "There is my resume on it, well, I don't know who did it, it's very comprehensive." ”
Jiang Ran smiled and nodded, and sent Gu Qiu away.
Ten years ago, after graduating from Jingzhou University, he went abroad for further study, with a lot of resumes, and even became the editor-in-chief of a foreign journal with an astronomical circulation.
This is outrageous.
After returning to China, he served as the chief planner of CCTV variety shows, and the top boss of the Propaganda Department of Taili, and if he went further, he was really the deputy director.
Sure enough, it is a high authority, Jiang Ran sighed with emotion, as such a big person, he can still be a corporal of Lixian, it is not unreasonable to be able to do this, no wonder he can bring the document out casually, the document itself is conveyed to Gu Qiu.
After praising this person in his heart, Jiang Ran returned to his senses.
Start preparing for tomorrow's promotional screen, costumes and makeup artists should be available backstage, but you just need to prepare a singing segment.
"Pick one, it's about the same in a minute? No, it's good to give me five seconds of footage, so what should I choose?" Jiang Ran pondered, "Why don't you give them a few faces?"
Think about it or forget it, the face change in Sichuan opera is still really a bit learned, a few faces are okay, they have been made before, and they have been brought over, if they are large-scale productions, the time is a little not enough, Jiang Ran will prepare it after preparation.
Do you want to sing a little bit?
Forget it, it's just a promotional picture.
From the initial selection, to the inability to choose, to the final decision, it took almost two hours, Jiang Ran felt that he was almost a phobia of choice.
"Two sentences, but it took me so long, just kidding, I should write out everything that is ready, let's start the lottery next time, or, which one is drawn, don't get entangled. Jiang Ran shook his head and said with a wry smile.
A sentence of Kunqu Opera, in Jiang Ran's opinion, is the most appropriate, when I came up with this sentence, I thought of the plain woman I met this morning who likes Kunqu Opera, Kunqu Opera has a long heritage, even if it is a word, it is beautiful.
The old Peking Opera actors in the past were quite proficient in Kunqu Opera, Jingkun, and their voices were almost the same, and even said that the play "Shajiabang", in that year, was Zhao Lao's first singing of the role of A Qingsao, because it was too profound, and it was imprinted in the bones of A Qingsao, so even if he was eighty years old, he could sing so deeply into the bone marrow, and it was a smash hit in that era, and later after the old lady was devolved, a Kunqu Opera actor was selected to sing this model play.
But Kunqu Opera has never been Peking Opera, and its momentum is weaker, but that one is also worthy of a master, as far as "Shajiabang" is concerned, he performed his own style, which can only be said to have their own merits, and cannot be compared, but in terms of artistic achievements alone, it is definitely inferior to Mr. Zhao.
