Yue Opera, one of the five major opera genres (Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, Ping Opera, Henan Opera), the second largest opera in China, is known as the second national opera, known as the "most widely spread local opera", and is known as "Chinese Opera" abroad.

It is mainly prevalent in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Fujian, Anhui Province and other Jiangnan regions, as well as most of the northern regions such as Beijing and Tianjin.

Except for a few provinces and autonomous regions such as Guangdong, Guangxi, and Tibet, there are professional Yue Opera troupes with public institutions and career establishments in all parts of China, and some people have made rough statistics, adding up to nearly 300. As for the number of private Yue opera troupes, it is even more thousands, and it is impossible to count the specific number.

Since its birth in 1906, after decades of development, Yue Opera now has a high reputation and a wide mass base overseas, and is the most widely spread local opera in China.

As for why it can develop into the second largest opera in China and have a certain influence overseas, it is inseparable from the process of the opera artists in Yan County who rushed to Shanghai before the liberation.

With more than 80 years of development, Yue Opera has absorbed the culmination of Kunqu Opera, Drama, Shao Opera and other characteristic operas, and is good at lyricism, with a clear and graceful voice, and the performance is really moving, with the spirit of Jiangnan Lingxiu.

The singing and recitation of Yue Opera is in the dialect of Yan County, and there is a very interesting place in it: the place where the old robbers once came out was born at the same time, and the lingering and tactful Yue Opera was born at the same time, and one soft and one rigid were perfectly combined in Yan County.

Different from the makeup of Peking Opera, the makeup of Yue Opera during performance tends to be more natural, so it is more beautiful and close to the actor's no makeup.

Just watched the excerpt just now, bodyguards like Paul were not only attracted by the beautiful and beautiful singing, but also dazzled them with the water sleeves of the horns.

Charlize Theron has been to her brother's hometown before, but she has never enjoyed Yue Opera before, and the consequence of being attracted to it just now is...

She didn't think that the actor who played Liang Shanbo was a woman at all, and she was completely immersed in the charm of opera.

Hearing Charlie's exclamation, all the people from Yan County smiled, and Zhang Nan hurriedly smiled and said, "Charlie, you're rude."

Yue Opera Xiaosheng, that is, the actors of the role of young men are all women nine times out of ten, and there used to be the name of the girls' class.

However, there are also famous men who play male roles, not very many.

There are also young actresses who specialize in old students, that is, they specialize in playing middle-aged and elderly male roles that are above middle age, and many laymen can't tell that girls are playing..."

This Charlie immediately apologized to the actor, of course the other party didn't care about this little misunderstanding before, and even said that it didn't matter.

With this one back and forth, the atmosphere in the living room became more harmonious.

After talking quietly between the director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau and the head of the troupe, he asked Secretary Yunyi: What kind of repertoire will be on tomorrow?

This kind of thing is generally a guest and a host, but in Yan County, the secretary and the county magistrate have become real "guests", Zhang Nan is a native of the "master", and Comrade Yunyi directly threw this pot to Zhang Nan.

"Mr. Zhang, it's better for you to choose. ”

This treatment is good, Zhang Nan is not polite, and said directly: "Thank you for your hard work, then "Five Women's Birthday", how about it?"

The new parents don't understand Yue Opera, as long as it is a Yue Opera repertoire, Zhang Nan has no problem choosing anything, they will be lively at that time.

But the knowledgeable bureau chiefs, troupe leaders, and actors here are saying in their hearts: "Connoisseurs!"

When the connoisseur speaks, the pressure of the troupe comes - the scene of "Five Women's Birthday Greetings" is huge, which can be said to be the most difficult repertoire to perform in Yue Opera, and it is also the most test of the strength of the troupe!

It not only tests the ability of the actors, but also tests the troupe itself, if the hard power behind the scenes is insufficient, you can also play the behind-the-scenes personnel by the way, and you want to die!

If a troupe can perform "Five Women's Birthday", it shows that it has strength, and if it can perform at a high level, it will be even better.

As for the reason, it's simple - there are a lot of people!

A group of daughters brought their sons-in-law to pay their respects, plus 12 old men and wives, plus the adopted daughter's family, in-laws, and a group of supporting roles with a lot of lines.

Moreover, there are many costumes and props required, and the conversion speed must be fast, especially in several scenes where almost all the performers are present, and the problem of a single wireless microphone signal not crosstalking and interfering with each other is enough to test the hard power of the troupe's equipment and the ability of the personnel behind the scenes.

There is also a problem with the venue, the traditional stage can't be performed, so many people go to that station, let alone perform, they can't be stuffed!

The requirements are high, and there are not many Yue Opera troupes that can perform "Five Women's Birthday", but the Yue Opera Troupe in Yanxian County has no problem, and it performs very well, so those who know how to agree that Zhang Nan is an expert!

Is Zhang Nan an expert?

No, I don't even know a little, it's just that I once heard a few people from the Yue Opera Troupe talk about the special features of "Five Women's Birthday", and those people blew it into the height of a difficult drama for the people behind the scenes, so they were deeply impressed.

After seeing off the visitors, Zhang Nan and Charlie walked back to the hanging villa, which took a few minutes.

The estate is big enough.

"Brother, not many dramas in China are played by men and women, why did Yue Opera turn upside down?"

Chariz Theron was still thinking about what had just happened, and asked casually.

The lights on the side of the garden walkway were mottled, Zhang Nan glanced at the girl who was as tall as himself next to him, "It's not the other way around, the earliest Yue Opera actors were all men, but it didn't take many years for a women's class to appear, and it was more popular with the audience. ”

"Then are there any men who play women?"

"It's basically gone, I only know that there are a few ancestral Quyi families with this technology, and there are still people who have learned a few paragraphs, but the one on stage should be gone.

By the way, what do you think about it?"

Chariz Theron smiled and said, "Brother, you are either staring at your collection, or you are aiming at the Russian warship artillery.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, there is a Chinese film that has caused a sensation in Europe, "Farewell My Concubine", absolutely amazing!

The main character in it..."

As she walked, the street lights became brighter, and as she spoke, Charlie noticed that her brother was actually a little wanderer.

"Brother, are you listening?"

Zhang Nan smiled, "Listen." That's Peking Opera, not Yue Opera, don't get confused. ”

Charlie thought that Zhang Nan didn't pay attention to it, and thought that her brother didn't know what movie it was, and how did she know that she knew that April Fool's Day joke ten years later.

It's a pity, a few years earlier, I might have had the opportunity to let someone set up a bureau or something, and straighten out the one in Xiangjiang!

But think about it, I don't know each other very well, so it doesn't seem that necessary.

"It's not confusing.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's following the trend, Warner Bros. has just released a movie similar to "Farewell My Concubine", and I heard that it was specially selected to be released in the United States on China's National Day..."

The more he listened, the more wrong it became, Zhang Nan frowned and asked, "What film?"

""Butterfly Jun", which was first released in Canada last month, I watched it. ”

"I'll rub it, divine drama!" Zhang Nan complained in his heart.
