Chapter 103: Learning Drama

"Danjiao'er? why?" Xiao Chengru said strangely, "Don't you never wear girls' clothes? Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I don't wear normal clothes, but I don't think I've heard of an actor who refuses to perform because the characters in movies or TV series need to wear women's clothes. Xiao Yao said, "Actually, this is the case, you also know that I am now participating in the competition of "The Voice of China", and I now have an idea to add the singing voice of Peking Opera to the song during the competition. So not only do I have to learn, but I also have to learn it in a short period of time, at least to help me get to the point where I can perform on stage, can you help me find such a teacher?"

"I thought I was participating in a singing competition. Old man Xiao Chengru said with a little disappointment, "I thought you were interested in Peking Opera and really wanted to learn to sing." ”

"I'm interested in Peking Opera," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "that's why I wanted to combine pop music with Peking Opera." You don't want me to throw away everything I've learned and focus on singing, do you?"

Xiao Chengru thought about it. Xiao Yao has a lot of things since elementary school, and he has begun to produce results slowly. As an actor, he has won the best newcomer actor in the TV drama genre, he has already released singles in singing, and he has learned music and instrumental performance for more than ten years, so it is impossible to change careers to become a Peking Opera actor now. And the influence of the show "The Voice of China" is still very good, if he can sing a song with Peking Opera singing during the competition, isn't it also another form to help promote the quintessence of our ancestors?

"That's right. Thinking of this, Xiao Chengru nodded and said, "Since you want to learn, grandpa will definitely do his best to help." Speaking of the famous family in Yanjing City that my grandfather knew in this area, it had to be Mr. Mei's descendant, Mr. Qingchang. But the rules for his apprenticeship can be strict. ”

"No, I'm not officially apprenticed this time. Xiao Yao hurriedly interrupted his grandfather and said, "I'm mainly for this competition, and it's definitely impossible to insist on practicing like learning martial arts." I don't want to smash Mr. Qingchang's signboard in the future. I have enough masters now, and I don't want to have more masters in the future than I can count. Let's see if you can discuss it with Mr. Qingchang, if you don't apprentice, you just want to give guidance to your juniors on your face. If it really doesn't work, you can help me find a less well-known instructor. ”

"In this case, then I'll talk to Mr. Qingchang first. Xiao Chengru said.

"Say it now? You should have his phone. Xiao Yao struck while the iron was hot.

"You kid is in such a hurry. Xiao Chengru said a little funny.

"There are less than 20 days left to record the next game, so I need to know what level I can get to so I can prepare the corresponding songs. Xiao Yao scratched his head and said.

"Okay, for the sake of your kid listening to a day's drama with me today, I'll call you now to ask. Xiao Chengru shook his head and smiled and took out his mobile phone.

......

"Okay, okay, thank you very much. Xiao Chengru hung up the phone.

"Grandpa, what did you say first?" Xiao Yao saw Xiao Chengru end the call, and quickly asked out loud.

"Mr. Qingchang said that he would meet you first and hear how your voice is. Xiao Chengru said, "As long as your voice condition is not too bad, he is willing to help." ”

"Yes, it should be. Xiao Yao nodded, "When will you see you?"

"I know you're in a hurry, so I made an appointment for tonight. Let's go straight to his house after dinner. Xiao Chengru said.

"Okay, after listening to the play for an afternoon, grandpa, you're hungry too, I'll invite you to eat, let's go. Xiao Yao said immediately.

Xiao Chengru and Xiao Yao's grandson went to have a sumptuous dinner together, and after a short rest, they took a taxi to the house of Mei Qingchang, a famous Huadan family. When it comes to singing Peking Opera masters, Xiao Yao knows only one famous Mr. Mei Lanfang, who was born a hundred years ago and exists in the past and present life. As for this Mr. Mei Qingchang, Xiao Yao didn't know if he was a descendant of Mr. Mei Lanfang, nor did he know if there was such a number one person in his previous life. However, since grandfather Xiao Chengru said that he is a famous master in Beijing, he must also be a very powerful figure in the Peking Opera industry.

The Mr. Mei that Xiao Yao saw had white and firm facial skin, and there was not a single beard on his face, and he looked like a man who had been playing on the stage for many years.

After greeting the old man Xiao Chengru, Mei Qingchang paid attention to Xiao Yao. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is quite handsome, but his figure is much taller than that of ordinary children of this age. If it is on the stage of Peking Opera, it is not suitable for him to sing as a female Dan'er, and it is basically difficult to find an actor to play with him. However, people are going to the stage of the singing competition, but they just want to add a piece of Peking Opera to the song, that is, he performs alone, and there is no problem with the play.

"Do you want to learn to sing Peking Opera?" Mei Qingchang looked at Xiao Yao and said. Although Xiao Chengru had already told him on the phone, he still habitually wanted to ask the parties.

"Hmm. Xiao Yao nodded.

"Let's listen to it. Mei Qingchang commanded.

"Oh. Xiao Yao agreed, and then "Huh~ah~" came.

"Not bad, practiced?" Mei Qingchang nodded.

"Well, my grandfather is an actor," Xiao Yao pointed to Xiao Chengru on the side, and continued, "My father is a singer, and when I was a child, I learned the skills of opening my voice and practicing my voice from them, and I have been practicing for more than ten years. ”

"That's right, Xiao Lao's grandson, this can be regarded as a family history. Mei Qingchang looked at Xiao Chengru with a smile and said, "Your eldest grandson is very good." ”

"I don't need you to praise him, as long as you are willing to point him out, I will thank you for selling my face. Xiao Chengru also smiled.

"Okay, then what level do you want to learn?" Mei Qingchang turned to Xiao Yao again and asked.

"My requirements are not high, as long as I get started quickly, reach the professional level in the amateur, and be able to perform one or two passages on stage in ten days. Xiao Yao said frankly, "But since I have learned, I don't want to learn the wild road at the beginning and not be able to change it back later, so I asked my grandfather to invite you, the owner, to guide me." ”

"That's not too much. Mei Qingchang smiled, "I heard that you want to add Peking Opera to pop songs, do you want to add one or two passages to pop songs?"

"Yes. Xiao Yao said, "The main thing is to have a strengthening training so that I can sing these two passages." ”

"What kind of joke? Is there a score? Show me if it's difficult. Mei Qingchang stretched out his hand.

"No, but the lyrics and music are all in my head, but I can't write the score of Peking Opera. Xiao Yao said helplessly, "If I don't sing it for you, I will definitely not sing very well, just listen to that, okay?"

"Didn't you just have an idea after listening to the play just afternoon? Now that the lyrics and music are available?" Xiao Chengru said with some surprise.

"Well, it popped out of my head on the way here, so I might not be very mature. Xiao Yao had to lie and pretend to be embarrassed.

"It's okay, sing it. Mei Qingchang waved his hand.

Xiao Yao cleared his throat, and then held his throat and sang out the Peking Opera singing passages in the two popular songs in his previous life.

"Strictly speaking, these two sections are not real Peking Opera. Mei Qingchang frowned and said, "But ordinary people can hear the taste of Peking Opera, which can barely be regarded as Beijing rhyme." But it's not like you're going to the wrong door when you came to me, you really didn't sing very well just now, and if you want to sing these two paragraphs well, you really want to learn some Peking Opera skills. Well... It is mainly the skill of Tsing Yi in singing Dan Jiaoer. ”

"Really?" Xiao Yao just listened to songs in his previous life, and he really didn't delve into whether those two paragraphs were Peking Opera in the real sense. But now he doesn't care about this, he cares: "Then can I sing this well in ten days?"

"That depends on what you are doing in ten days... A few days, how much time a day you can have to learn from me, and how much time you can spend practicing when you go back. Mei Qingchang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was a little confused. Only then did he remember that he only knew that he would go to Shen Na's practice room tomorrow. I haven't said how long Shen Na arranged to receive her guidance in the practice room. Not only that, but this time he had to prepare two songs, and he had to prepare for the singing and rehearsal of another song, and the soundtracks for these two songs also had to take time to come up. In this way, where does he have more than ten days?

"Hmm..."Xiao Yao quickly calculated in his heart, and then said, "Count ten days, I will come to you for at least ten days, one to two hours each time, and then I will go back and practice by myself for another one to two hours." ”

"It's a bit of a hanging. Mei Qingchang shook his head and said, "It's more certain to add twice the time." ”

"It's okay, just double the time. Xiao Yao said, "At the beginning of August, it is a sixteen-in-four competition, and at the end of August, it is the finals. If it's too late, I'll change the song and bring this to Peking Opera... Jingyun's song is left to be sung in the finals. ”

"The little guy is very confident," Mei Qingchang said with a smile, "It seems that you will definitely make it to the finals, what if you are eliminated in the competition in early August?"

"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with being confident at all. Xiao Yao scratched his head and said, "Even if I am eliminated, I don't want to go on stage with a song that I haven't learned yet." But I still have to learn after all, even if I can't make it to the finals, I can use it when I release albums in the future. ”

"Okay, I like the little one's attitude. Mei Qingchang said, "Then you can come over early tomorrow morning, and we will start tomorrow." ”

"Not tomorrow, tomorrow several of our participating students will participate in the first guidance class of the instructor in the show, and I am not very absent. Xiao Yao continued to scratch his head. (To be continued.) )
