Chapter 21: Peking Opera

After taking over the role of Momei, Su Qin carefully studied the script at home and waited for Meng Xinfang's contact.

How do you know that this is three days? If it weren't for Meng Xinfang's initiative to call in the morning, Su Qin almost thought that Meng Xinfang had forgotten about it.

After making an appointment to meet, Su Qin took a ride to the Haishi Grand Theater.

The Haishi Grand Theatre is one of the city's landmark cultural buildings, and many well-known opera, drama, symphony and opera performances have been held here.

When I met Meng Xinfang in the rehearsal hall, this old artist, who was over half a hundred years old, was sweating profusely and directing the rehearsal on the stage.

"Xiao Su is here. Seeing Su Qin, Meng Xinfang said with a smile: "The days are delayed, mainly on the rehearsal schedule, Xiao Liu's movie, the main appearance is this opera." ”

Seeing that Su Qin was not impatient, he smiled happily and said, "Peking Opera learning, you also know that it is not a short-term thing. So I pondered, the main scene was practiced repeatedly, and the movements looked decent, and it was almost the same. ”

"It's not like Mr. Meng's style. Su Qin listened and couldn't help but joke.

Obviously, Meng Xinfang had a good impression of Su Qin, and instead of getting angry, he said: "Art comes from life, but it is higher than life." With post-editing, the problem is not big. You take a look at this drama first. ”

Su Qin nodded, followed Meng Xinfang and ignored Su Qin, but interacted with the actors on stage. In the brief conversation, Su Qin could see that Meng Xinfang's words revealed his own reserve for his own industry, but she had seen a lot of this kind of thing in her previous world, and she didn't care about it.

The literati are arrogant, and she still understands this truth. Not to mention an artist-level figure like Meng Xinfang.

Meng Xinfang directed the rehearsal of the opera, and she watched it carefully, and the 'super memory' she gained from coming to this world undoubtedly provided her with great convenience, enabling her to remember every move of each character on the stage to the greatest extent.

In the later stage of the rehearsal, Meng Xinfang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead before asking Su Qin, "Xiao Su, what do you think?"

"Is the rehearsal 'Three Accounts'?"

"Huh!" Meng Xinfang couldn't help but say in surprise: "Xiao Su, have you ever been in contact with Peking Opera?"

"Not really. Su Qin shook his head and said truthfully: "It's just that when Brother Liu introduced it last time, I talked about the role of Momei, and I learned a little about it, and it just so happened that there was this 'three accounts'." ”

"It's no wonder that not many people pay attention to this these days. Meng Xinfang smiled.

He shook his head, raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "Xiao Liu's play, the main scenes are from this play, Xiao Su, you have watched it for a long time, go up and try it." ”

The rehearsal ended earlier than expected, and he thought about Liu Zhenyang's entrustment, so he decided to let Su Qin perform on stage.

"Today is the first day, and the lines and makeup are forgotten. Meng Xinfang said hello to a few people who stepped down, avoiding everyone's gossipy eyes staring at Su Qin: "Go and try it." ”

This is Su Qin's first appearance on stage.

Although she had the experience of filming Wang Donghua's movie last time, it was too 'petty fight' in comparison, and if you count it seriously, it is just a tricky role with a few lines, and it is difficult to say whether she can show her face in the feature film. Today's stage show is her real first battlefield.

Seeing Meng Xinfang's attitude, the people next to them couldn't help but stay to see what the origin of this "outsider" was.

When Su Qin stood in the center of the stage, the direct rays of the surrounding lights made her feel a little dizzy.

As the music played, she recalled her character's every move and tried to imitate it.

She doesn't need to do singing, she just needs to do the export type here, which is also negotiated with the crew in the early stage, after all, she is an actor, and the singing will be done by more professional people behind the scenes. It's just that now she's on stage alone, and she needs to do it herself.

When she opened her mouth to make a mouth shape, she immediately realized that she was slowing down. In addition, the movements she expected did not follow up.

This makes her look a little funny.

She then tried to adjust her movements, but no matter what, she couldn't achieve complete coordination.

The crowd watching from below more or less dispersed, and when Su Qin finally stepped down, only Meng Xinfang was left on the scene.

"Teacher Meng. ”

"It's not very good. Meng Xinfang smiled and said, "Xiao Su, can you feel it?"

If there was no such experience, Su Qin would still have some confidence, but at this time she honestly said her feelings: "Yes, teacher." ”

"In the past, when I watched how others acted, I always thought that I could imitate it well, but in fact it was not. Su Qin said a little helplessly.

"That's right. Meng Xinfang smiled and said, "Your imitation ability is very good." This is also what Meng Xinfang noticed in the audience, Su Qin, not to mention her newcomer background, but what she showed on stage can be seen to be serious and attentive.

"Sometimes it's not necessarily a complete copy. Meng Xinfang said: "In this way, it is easy to lose one's spirituality." ”

"Teacher ......"

Meng Xinfang waved his hand: "Qinqin." Perhaps he was so affectionate to this girl that he even changed his title: "You haven't studied acting, and you don't have any stage experience, but I think, why do you want to stick to this?"

"I think your performance in Xiao Liu's crew is very good!"

"Teacher, what do you mean ......"

"You also said that movies and Peking Opera are different performances. Each has its own area of expertise. Meng Xinfang seemed to be a little emotional: "What I said, the movements look decent, and it's almost the same." Can you get it?"

Now Su Qin completely understood, it turned out that Meng Xinfang's starting point for saying this sentence was completely different from what he imagined.

Meng Xinfang is indeed teaching herself, being true to her role, experiencing her role, and playing her role. Even if there is a sense of disobedience.

"There are a few moves here that you need to keep an eye on. Seeing Meng Xinfang open his mouth to instruct, Su Qin also froze his mind: "And this, remember not to look like but to look like." ”

is different from Wang Donghua's easy-going as she perceives, Gu Ming's rigor, Liu Zhenyang's persistence, and Meng Xinfang at the moment, which is more of a chattering feeling. But for Su Qin, what he brought to himself was far from just a few words in the past.

The performance at the end of the next day was greeted by Meng Xinfang's satisfied gaze.

"Qinqin, you are very smart and have a good learning ability. Meng Xinfang sighed: "In this case, the investor will have no objection." ”

Su Qin keenly grasped the peculiar smell between the words: "In this way, if I play this role, it needs to be investigated." ”

"Not necessarily, Xiao Liu is not a person who changes his mind easily. Meng Xinfang shook her head.
