Chapter 15 Perhaps, I have a way
In the midst of the lightning, Gu Nanqiao's mind suddenly appeared Su Yiyang's sentence - the characteristics of the garden full of spring, or in other places, it is different from other private theater troupes or state-owned theater troupes.
Thinking like this, Gu Nanqiao's clear and beautiful eyes lit up a little, his sad face was swept away, and the corners of his lips curled slyly.
"Perhaps, I have a solution.
It didn't seem that Gu Nanqiao would say this, Duan Mingshan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly handed over his inquiring gaze.
"Qiao girl, what can you do?"
Gu Nanqiao didn't answer immediately, but said to himself: "There are few people in the spring garden, the performance team is far from luxurious, and it is very difficult to arrange the repertoire, and many classic dramas cannot be performed completely." But compared to those mature performance groups, this is also our biggest advantage. ”
Gu Nanqiao's voice hadn't completely fallen, and before Li Hetian and Duan Mingshan, the two masters of the technical school, could speak, Chu Youyou was the first to refute.
"You can pull it down, Sister Nan Qiao," Chu Youyou said bluntly, "What an advantage is this, but if you are an actor, who doesn't want to perform in the Grand Theater, you have a better opportunity to perform." We want lighting effects without lighting effects, we want to change the scene without changing the scene, the conditions do not allow the performance, we are not forced to have no choice. ”
As soon as Chu Youyou's words came out, the big guys present were a little deflated.
When the main creator had a small meeting here, the temporary workers of the band who counted the money according to the number of performances on the stage all hung up high, and they had already packed up their instruments and went to rest backstage. Li Mu originally wanted to come over to listen, but was stopped by Li Hetian with a look, and followed the large army to the backstage.
Just now a scene was singing lively, but when it was time to decide things, except for Fan Lingchu, who was still living in the hospital, there were only these four people who could really be busy. Among them, Gu Nanqiao was also hindered by the regulations of the theater troupe, so he could only help change the drama and act as a technical director, and could not really go on stage.
No matter how you look at it, they are withered, miserable, and completely incompatible with the advantages.
But under such circumstances, we continued to sing for six years and sang to this day. ”
Gu Nanqiao didn't care about everyone's low mood, those smart eyes seemed to be starlight, she paused in a tone, and continued to analyze along with Chu Youyou's words, "This is naturally indispensable to my master's persistence, but from another point of view, we are exploring a way to simplify the performance." ”
"Go to the complicated and simplify it......." Duan Mingshan repeated Gu Nanqiao's words, feeling that this girl's clear and beautiful voice suppressed the annoyance rising from the bottom of her heart, and her unhurried tone seemed to be inexplicably convincing.
"Qiao girl, do you mean that the investor has taken a fancy to our personnel structure?"
Gu Nanqiao bent his eyes and smiled, and nodded slyly: "Our spring garden has a limited number of personnel, in order to ensure the normal progress of the performance and save expenses and costs to the greatest extent, Master has streamlined the performance form to the extreme, which is our unique advantage, and other performance groups do not have it at all." ”
"Hey, that's kind of interesting, girl. Li Hetian slapped his thigh and grinned at the corners of his mouth, "The personnel expenses of other theaters and troupes are so big, and they haven't necessarily sung any famous halls, so it's simple for us to have a garden full of spring, relying on me, Lao Duan, and your master and our brother, we can support a big show." If you make a small fuss, you will make money, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss-making transaction, if you want to say how we can attract investors, this is the characteristic. ”
Li Hetian's words are not exaggerated at all, unlike the major theater troupes, which often have dozens of people in the band alone, the Peking Opera accompaniment in the spring garden is extremely concise. After a long period of performances, the iron triangle relationship between the drummer, the pianist and the horn on the stage has gradually formed, which is also a unique feature that is different from other troupes.
Peking Opera literary operas are generally sung with orchestral accompaniment, because Duan Mingshan is the most capable master, so he adjusts it during the arrangement and rehearsal, focusing on the Yueqin, relying on the three major pieces of Jinghu, Jingerhu and Yueqin, to ensure the performance effect.
The percussion band's martial arts performance, with the bangu as the core, while retaining the more obvious "stylization" and the indispensable set of "gongs and drums", only focuses on the three major martial arts of the bangu, the big gong and the rao pluck, and plays around Li Hetian, the "drum master", and the other instruments are only used as icing on the cake.
Without affecting the normal performance, the Spring Garden has streamlined the Peking Opera orchestra with dozens of people to the extreme, which may seem a little shabby for the Peking Opera group. However, it is always much easier to do addition than to do subtraction, and such an attempt has also undergone the initial test of the market, which can be regarded as a very rare adjustment.
Duan Mingshan and Li Hetian pondered Gu Nanqiao's words, and they both had the meaning of clearing the clouds and mist.
Although Chu Youyou is considered half of the core personnel, she came late after all, and she is young, so she can't turn around a little bit. Seeing that everyone present had suddenly realized that only she had not grasped the key point at all, Chu You was in a hurry.
She gently tugged at Gu Nanqiao's sleeve and muttered in a low voice, "Sister Nanqiao, why can't I understand it, co-author...... Is it a good thing that there are fewer people?"
"It's not just a matter of a small number of people," the smile in Gu Nanqiao's eyes became stronger, and he simply said more clearly, "We have maintained such a team in the spring garden, and we have been singing intermittently for six years...... This shows that there is no problem in our attempt to reduce complexity and simplicity, and perhaps this is the reason why investors chose us. ”
"But......" Chu Youyou heard it in a fog, and always felt that something was wrong, "If he is really satisfied with our team, why stop today's "The Legend of the West Chamber", I don't sing so badly today......"
The question Chu Youyou said was also the question that Gu Nanqiao had thought about for a long time before he figured it out.
Su Yiyang is not dissatisfied with the team full of spring, on the contrary, it is such a novel performance attempt that attracts him to the spring garden. But there is a fatal problem in this, that is, the existence of the Golden Triangle is completely based on the tacit understanding between Fan Lingchu, Duan Mingshan and Li Hetian for many years.
The advantages of such a situation are obvious, and the side effects are also very prominent - if the iron triangle of Fan Lingchu, Duan Mingshan and Li Hetian is broken, and other members of the troupe cannot be replaced, there is no way to form that kind of harmonious performance effect.
In a word, there is no universality.
Su Yiyang came all the way to listen to how the Iron Triangle after being tempered by the market sang a traditional Peking Opera repertoire in a minimalist style, but he listened to a half-hung "The Legend of the West Chamber" without praise or depreciation, and it would be strange if he didn't stop.
"Xiao Chu, it's not that you can't sing, it's that you have too little run-in with the two of us. ”
Before Gu Nanqiao could speak, Li Hetian, the drummer who was the conductor, took the initiative to comfort him, "This is also something that can't be helped, now you young people are all following the routine of the academic school, what you have learned in school over the years is how to develop the stylized art of Peking Opera to the extreme, so that you can follow my rhythm, which is a bit twisted in itself, and it is embarrassing for you." ”
Chu Youyou was half-understood when he heard this, and he bit his lip and was about to say something, but Duan Mingshan's sigh came first. He took a sip of tea, and there was some regret and bitterness in his words.
"Oh, it's a pity......."
Duan Mingshan is the big brother in the spring garden, and he worries about the troupe a lot on weekdays, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he does everything himself. What Gu Nanqiao said, he turned his head a little and thought about it, and he also figured it out.
But as Fan Lingchu fell ill, the iron triangle full of spring was broken, and no one could take over his team. If Gu Nanqiao was directly on top, it would still be a glimmer of life, but she served in the B Provincial Theater Troupe, and the last temporary rescue was an exception, which caused her a lot of trouble. If you take on private work outside for a long time, it will be nothing more than cutting off your future, even if Gu Nanqiao has this thought, Duan Mingshan can't look at this girl to be stupid.
The current situation of the spring garden is here, even if this investment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it is also fateful.
The atmosphere that was still warm just now cooled down instantly, and everyone present didn't speak again, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
"Wait, this matter may not have a turnaround...... In the end, it was Gu Nanqiao who broke the deadlock first, "Uncle Duan, Uncle Li, do you remember last year's "Champion Media"?"
When it comes to this play, Chu Youyou has the most right to speak, and immediately nodded: "Isn't this the final report of my junior year, what's wrong, Sister Nan Qiao?"
This play was sung by Chu Youyou at the end of the semester, and the singing section set by the school was the Cheshire Lord of "Champion Media", and that singing segment was not very difficult, but Chu Youyou never found the state. Especially the chief of the Peking Opera Instrumental Music Performance Department chased her before, but Chu Youyou couldn't get used to his appearance as a gentleman, so he didn't save him any face, so he refused directly.
After that, the chief had been hating Chu Youyou in his heart, and when he caught up with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he began to spare no effort to rectify Chu Youyou and retaliate with his life. During the performance, the young man pulled the Erhuang original board very hard to sing. Others may not be able to hear why, but Chu Youyou, who came on stage, sang very uncomfortably, hovering between broken sound and lack of breath several times, and the young girl of the Cheshire Lord couldn't express her eagerness and noble and dignified, and only relied on the broken gong voice to support herself.
Seeing that the final report is getting closer and closer, and if it goes on like this, Chu Youyou is really helpless, so he can only come to his idol sister Gu Nanqiao for help.
After Gu Nanqiao understood the situation, he knew that it was absolutely unreliable to solve the problem by reconciling with the chief, so he personally read the Peking Opera score for Chu Youyou, replaced the performance part of the chief, and used Chu Youyou's singing voice to change the top, and made a drastic adaptation of the classic singing section of "Champion Media", so as to successfully complete the final report.
At that time, Gu Nanqiao's adaptation idea was based on the performance style of the spring garden - when the help given by the band was extremely limited, Gu Nanqiao helped Chu Youyou adjust his usual singing habits, and reasonably made up for the blank part due to the lack of soundtrack, but thus highlighted the singing voice of Danjiao and obtained unexpected performance effects.
