Chapter Eighty-Nine: Peerless

Then, Chu Youyou didn't give Gu Nanqiao a chance to ask anything, and took her arm and walked out of the door of the lounge quickly.

After arriving at the front desk, Gu Nanqiao finally saw the candidate sitting opposite the Eight Immortals Table talking to Fan Lingchu, and finally understood why Chu Youyou gave such a high evaluation.

It was a young man in his early twenties, long and thin, just wearing a trench coat and a white shirt, slightly pulling up the cuffs, this kind of simple dress, but when it came to him, he exuded an inexplicable cold temperament. The short black hair on his forehead hung down slightly, slightly covering his beautiful eyes, and also set off his delicate facial features like ice carvings and snow were very sharp, and he was arrogant when he didn't speak, and his slightly raised eyebrows carried a faint chill, with a sense of beauty that transcended gender.

If you have to describe the first impression he gives people, it should be the bamboo leaves trembling in the breeze, clearly lonely and depressed, but with a bit of arrogance, and there is a coldness of independence in the world.

It's really a beauty with a very special style and unforgettable.

"Nan Qiao, you came just in time, this young man is here for an interview with our drama team. ”

Seeing Gu Nanqiao, Fan Lingchu hurriedly beckoned and motioned for her to come over, "This is Feng Tan, he is a singer, mainly attacking Tsing Yi, and he can also do some kung fu with a sword, this is the art consultant of the Spring Garden, Gu Nanqiao." ”

The one named Feng Tan raised his eyebrows, and his peach blossom eyes should have been tender, but his eyes seemed to be sinking with ice and snow, silently revealing a chill.

He didn't say much, just stretched out his hand and shook it gently: "Fortunately." ”

Looking at this posture, it is not like a small person who comes to the interview for the first time, but it has the meaning of visiting with a few famous characters, and there is no scruple at all to leave a good impression on Gu Nanqiao, who is an art consultant.

Gu Nanqiao didn't mind this, and even aroused a little interest-of course she could see that this was not Feng Tan's deliberate pretense, but the arrogance revealed from her bones.

Most masters are a little arrogant, and they can treat others as mediocre people, so they must be a little extraordinary, so they disdain to deal with those ordinary people. On the contrary, if you are humble and self-contained everywhere, for fear that you will offend others by not saying a good word, it means that you lack confidence, and it is precisely because your ability cannot convince others that you must rely on those people who are familiar with the world to fill it.

And Feng Tan is obviously the first type.

The confrontation between the first meeting went on invisibly, Gu Nanqiao's gaze wandered lightly on Feng Tan's body, and he didn't reveal the slightest consideration in his heart, but just asked casually, "How many years have you been singing?"

Feng Tan hooked the corners of his lips and did not give a direct answer, but raised his eyebrows and smiled jokingly: "I am twenty-three years old this year, and I have been learning to sing since I can speak, and you say that I have been singing for a few years?"

Gu Nanqiao looked at Feng Tan quietly, and chuckled lightly after a few seconds: "Since you are here to apply for the role, you can't talk about it just by chatting, so it's better to ...... Let's try to play a part first?"

Feng Tan had no objection to this, and nodded lightly.

Then he stood up, raised his chin slightly, and handed over an inquiring look: "Where is the dressing room, I'll go put on makeup." ”

Gu Nanqiao raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the backstage, and only when Feng Tan left did Gu Nanqiao talk to Fan Lingchu in a low voice: "Master, what is the situation with this person, did he take the initiative to find us?"

"He is an audience full of spring, and he came to see a few of our performances a few days ago, and he looks like a practitioner. I'm a little familiar with him, and at first I thought that this was a young actor from a troupe who wanted to come to us to steal a teacher. Who knew that before the performance time today, he suddenly came to the door and said that he was going to come to our troupe to sing and apply for the position of Danjiao, and I was also taken aback. ”

Fan Lingchu thought for a while, and then continued: "As a man, he mainly focuses on Tsing Yi and has both swords and horses, which is not easy to sing...... However, looking at his appearance, he must definitely look no different. ”

Gu Nanqiao curled his fingertips slightly, knocked a few times on the table, and opened his mouth thoughtfully.

"I look like a connoisseur...... However, let's take a look at his performance level first. ”

After talking to Fan Lingchu, Gu Nanqiao went to say a few words to the band teachers.

After hearing that he was going to use an excerpt from "The Drunken Concubine" to try out the play for a while, Li Hetian was stunned at first, and then raised his eyebrows mockingly, and said with a joke: "Qiao girl, you are so embarrassed by that kid as soon as you come up, aren't you afraid to scare people away?"

Li Hetian's sentence is no exaggeration, if you consider Danjiao's skills, the play "The Drunken Concubine" is definitely the number one in the row, for no other reason, this play is quite well-known in the Peking Opera excerpts, and the performance is also quite difficult.

When it comes to Peking Opera performances, even if it is just the general public, there are few who don't know this singing segment.

β€”β€”This is one of the masterpieces that Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang has performed with all his life's work, and many famous artists of the Mei School are probably very good at this play, and lovers of the art of the Mei School are even more familiar with it.

Whether it is a master from all walks of life, or a large number of fans of the theater, they all regard the play "The Drunken Concubine" as a classic, and there are not a few people who have devoted great efforts to studying the singing voice and body in it. Since there is Zhuyu in front of them, and all kinds of famous artists have performed one after another, it is inevitable that they will be compared with each other, and for those who come after, this is itself an invisible pressure.

As for the singing itself, many parts of this excerpt have been fixed in the repeated performances and rehearsals, and have formed a conventional standard, and the choice of any note cannot be changed at will, otherwise it will destroy the classics.

Whether the classics can be perfectly interpreted is a considerable test of the actor's basic skills. As for how to add new ideas on the basis of the previous artists' hard work, while respecting the classics, singing their own unique style and characteristics is a rather difficult task.

What's more, it is even more difficult for Feng Tan to sing Dan as a man.

In this regard, Gu Nanqiao just chuckled lightly, and said very reasonably: "I originally wanted to test him, if I didn't choose a more difficult one, how could it be considered a test - don't worry, Uncle Li, I won't scare people away." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Nanqiao's tone paused slightly, and then added the second half of the sentence with a mocking.

"And if he was scared away after singing "The Drunken Concubine", it means that he has no real skills, and the most important thing we need in the spring garden is people with ability, if he is like that, he will not be qualified to enter the door of our troupe at all. ”

"Girl, you're right, our spring garden is not what it used to be, so we have to improve our staffing. Li Hetian casually raised the drumstick, looked at Gu Nanqiao, and laughed loudly, "Our Qiao girl, it's really getting more and more bossy, art consultant...... It's really good, you'll see later, Uncle Li will test him for you. ”

After a while, Feng Tan walked out of the backstage.

After seeing the appearance of the person in front of her, Gu Nanqiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she was surprised to find that while she deliberately wanted to take the test for Feng Tan, the person who was tested was actually quite conscious, and directly changed into Yang Guifei's costume.

Is this because he is too confident in himself, or is the hero seeing something in the same way?

But this surprise did not last long, and was dispelled by the strong visual impact. Gu Nanqiao's clear and agile big eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was fixed on Feng Tan's body, he really couldn't believe that someone could look like this.

The delicate and sharp contours of Feng Tan's facial features are brought into full play after the makeup is painted, and the unique cold temperament on his body makes the unique softness of Danjiao's appearance mixed with a rare heroic spirit, showing a bit of unusual beauty.

Silk cloud shoulder tassels hung softly on his shoulders, lining his delicate face impeccable, the silk embroidered costumes with colorful wiring outlined a thin and even figure, different from the girl's light and charming, Feng Tan's temperament was a little more atmospheric and arrogant, Rao is Gu Nanqiao couldn't help but admire this beauty beyond gender.

β€”β€”It feels like Yang Guifei, who is full of charms, is walking over with a slight step, and the pride of the Tang Dynasty is precipitated between the skirts, and the eyebrows and eyes are full of charm and luxury.

Before Gu Nanqiao could completely come to his senses, Feng Tan had already stepped onto the stage unhurriedly.

He tidied up the hem of his clothes slightly, and then bowed slightly in the direction of the band: ""The Drunken Concubine", "The Island Ice Wheel Turns at the Beginning", the hard band teacher. ”

With the sound of the drums, this classic singing section officially begins.

Feng Tan trembled his wide sleeves slightly, pinched his orchid fingers and raised his eyebrows, and after his appearance, he walked to the center of the stage with a round step, and his strong stage control was fully expressed.

And when he opened his voice a thousand times, and just sang a few notes, the huge stage belonged to him alone.

"Island Ice Wheel... The first turn ......"

Accompanied by a concise and moving soundtrack, the tactful and long Siping tune echoed in the courtyard full of spring, and a series of singing words were sung by Feng Tan so meaningfully, and in an instant, Yang Guifei, who was loved by thousands of people, traveled through the eternal time and walked to the stage with infinite spring.

However, in just one sentence of singing, Feng Tan completely attracted Gu Nanqiao's attention.

"The Drunken Concubine" is derived from the Kunqu Opera repertoire, and the lyrics structure is not very different from ordinary Peking Opera excerpts, and it sounds more euphemistic and lingering. And the one Feng Tan is singing now is about the singing of Yang Guifei on a moonlit night.

Yang Guifei and Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji met at the Baihua Pavilion for a banquet, but Tang Ming Emperor drove to the West Palace, and the concubine was full of resentment, frequently drinking, drinking and drinking to relieve sorrow, and finally got drunk.

"Jade Rabbit... It's early to rise in the east... The ice wheel..."

The first line of singing was accompanied by a stunning appearance, and after the word "sheng" came out of his mouth, Feng Tan deliberately slowed down the rhythm suddenly, and only after a short period of emotional precipitation did he unhurriedly lead to the word "that" in the next sentence.

Then Feng Tan turned around, pinched the orchid finger slightly, and then the lyrics overflowed from his throat.

"The moon is in the sky...... It's just like ..... Chang'e leaves the Moon Palace......"

He spoke at a normal pace, and soon sang the word "moon" of "Haoyue", according to Mei Lanfang's way of processing, using the Jingyin singing method, but not blindly following suit, mixed with Wu Nong's soft language in the tail note, it sounded particularly charming and moving.

In just a few sentences, the grace and luxury of the concubine and the affection in love are vividly displayed.

"The view... Sultry... Unconsciously came... Baihuating ......."

When the last line of the song fell completely, the audience was silent.

So much so that all Gu Nanqiao's thoughts were left with only one sentence - who is this person?

I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Xu You Spring Garden", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
