Chapter 1048: Peking Opera Everyone
.lā
How can I have three major things in mind, even if I die in Jiuquan, it is difficult to look away. The first of my first things is that my mother is old and has no one to serve me, and the second is that I have made a wife and am not yet married, and in the third case, I am now dead, and no one knows about it, and I cannot take revenge on me......
In the Kyoto Peking Opera Troupe, a young student is singing with his voice open, but the audience is in twos and threes, scattered in the east and west.
In a box on the second floor of the main viewing platform, an old man with gray hair but clean and fresh clothes was listening with his eyes closed, sometimes nodding and shaking, sometimes shaking his head and frowning.
He is Mr. Shang Huiqiu, one of the few Peking Opera masters today, and it is his disciples and grandchildren who perform on stage......
Peking Opera is not the same as cross talk, it is not too senior, but if you talk about qualifications, it must be Mr. Shang Huiqiu's deepest.
He was born and raised in Liyuan, under the tutelage of Mr. Mei, with a big bowl on his head, walking on ice water, lighting incense and practicing his eyes, day after day, year after year, hard work to practice hard skills, singing, reading, doing, and playing all fine.
Sixty years ago, he moved the world with the name of Danjiao and became a big horn, and then he created the art of Shangpai, made a lot of work for the reform of Peking Opera art, and became an art master!
In today's China, female students and female students are not uncommon, but male students are really very rare, and even now it is almost impossible to find an outstanding representative.
And Peking Opera is also in decline...... made him, an old man who believed in Peking Opera, gradually depressed.
At this time, he has long ceased to perform on stage, but he still comes to the Peking Opera Troupe from time to time to listen to a few passages and chat for comfort.
It's just that compared with the grand occasion of the year, whether it is the corner on the stage or the audience under the stage, it is much worse than before......
He was frowning at the breath of the servant on the stage, but he saw the boss of the Peking Opera Troupe knocking on the door and entering.
"Xiao Dong'er is singing worse and worse in you...... It's too perfunctory! bring me back to practice!" Shang Huiqiu snorted, as if venting her dissatisfaction with the actors on stage on the boss of the Peking Opera Troupe.
The boss of the Peking Opera Troupe begged for mercy again and again: "I can beg you, Shang Lao, I don't have a few good roles here, you can catch me one more, my Peking Opera Troupe will be closed!"
"Hmph, even if the door is closed, you can't perfunctory the audience, wait and call that kid to come to me!" Shang Huiqiu said with a cold snort.
Seeing that he didn't mention bringing people back, the boss of the Peking Opera Troupe breathed a sigh of relief, as for what lesson Xiao Dong'er would receive...... Then he can only ask for more blessings!
He hurriedly changed the topic and explained his intentions: "Shang Lao, is someone looking for you outside?"
"Which old friend is it? Let them in, is it necessary to be polite?" Shang Huiqiu asked suspiciously.
The boss of the Peking Opera Troupe smiled and replied: "It's not an insider, it's a descendant of the entertainment industry, Yi Shuihan, have you heard of his name?"
"Yi Shuihan?" Shang Huiqiu recalled: "Oh...... I remember, he sang the song "Always Go Home to See" in the Spring Festival Gala and it was not bad......"
The boss of the Peking Opera Troupe wiped his sweat, it was all the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.
He quickly explained: "He is not only a singer, but also a good actor and investor, and he is a hot star in the circle in recent years!"
"Oh, that's a corner!" Shang Huiqiu frowned: "But people in the entertainment industry, what are you looking for me for?"
"Then I refused?" asked the old man of the Peking Opera Troupe in a low voice.
"It's all here, then let's meet, don't be said to be relying on the old and selling the old when the time comes. Shang Huiqiu waved his hand and said.
"Gotcha!" the boss of the Peking Opera Troupe immediately went out to inform that for Yi Shuihan, he thought it was still necessary to have a good relationship.
Although they are not in the same circle, there will be places to deal with each other after all.
This is easy to water cold...... It is almost foreseeable that he will become a giant in the entertainment industry in the future!
……
Yi Shuihan stood at the door, tidied up his clothes slightly, and took a deep breath.
He knew that he was facing Peking Opera artists who were important in the entire literary and artistic circles, and it was the key to the success of his "Farewell My Concubine", so he was extra cautious.
He knocked on the door, and a clear voice rang out in the box, and there was no trace of old age.
After entering the door, Shang Huiqiu carefully looked at this hot star, and her eyes lit up.
The cheekbones are just right, and the nose should be the best in the facial features, very high and straight......
The bite is normal, the lips are plump, and the slightly upturned chin makes the whole face look more sculpted......
The corners of the eyes are a little pointed, but they still look soft, the double eyelids are very narrow, biased towards the inner double, the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, and the eyes are moist and deep, which is the standard kind of affectionate peach blossom eyes......
This physiognomy is a mold...... is definitely a good seedling to play a male dan!
It's a pity that he is a hot star artist, and it is impossible for him to change careers to this declining Peking Opera.
What's more, I'm too old and it's hard to get results!
"Mr. Shang, the junior Yi Shuihan took the liberty to visit, and I ask for forgiveness. Yi Shuihan smiled.
"It's okay," Shang Huiqiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "The person who comes is a guest, sit and watch the play together for a while?"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Yi Shuihan sat down and looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "It's "Double Seal"." ”
Shang Huiqiu turned her head and looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise and asked, "You also have a study of Peking Opera?"
"It's not a research, but I know a little bit about it......" Yi Shuihan said with a smile, he has some dabbling in this traditional culture.
Especially after deciding to shoot "Farewell My Concubine", I read a lot of related books.
"It's really rare!" Shang Huiqiu sighed, feeling a little better for the young man next to her.
After the two of them watched the whole play, Shang Huiqiu looked at Yi Shuihan with a smile and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with looking for an old man like me?"
Yi Shuihan was sitting precariously, knowing that the main drama was coming, he looked at Shang Huiqiu Zhengse and said, "I want to ask Shang Lao to help me give me a movie." ”
"Then you're looking for the wrong person...... The old man doesn't have any research in this area, and he doesn't have the energy to try it!" Shang Huiqiu refused with a smile.
"What if I said that this movie is about Peking Opera?" Yi Shuihan asked with a smile.
"Peking Opera...... The movie you're going to make has something to do with this?" Shang Huiqiu was a little interested.
"Hmm...... It is a large span from the twenties to the sixties of the last century, and it also shows the scene of the prosperity of Peking Opera!" Yi Shuihan said.
"Is there a script? Show me. Shang Huiqiu was still moved, after all, she had dealt with Peking Opera all her life, and she heard that she could be put on the big screen, even if she didn't have much energy, she still cheered up.
"Yes!" Yi Shuihan handed the prepared script to Shang Huiqiu's hand, and seeing that he was struggling to read, he smiled and said, "Shang Lao, I'll read it to you, right?"
Shang Huiqiu raised her eyes and glanced at Yi Shuihan, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I have a heart!"
Yi Shuihan spoke in a straight and round manner, Shang Huiqiu didn't have any difficulty listening to it, he squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had listened to the drama before.
His voice suddenly pulled him back to the era when Peking Opera was at its peak......
