Chapter Seventy-Seven: Preparation

Chen Yixia changed his calm expression before, his eyes seemed to shine, staring at the stage motionless.

An actor from the drama crew who came with him also looked at the stage.

This actor is a national first-class actor and is very famous, sitting next to Chen Yixia.

"Prepare the horse!" Zhang Delin sang again.

"Hey!" shouted in unison.

"Raise your sword and serve!"

"Ah...... Hey!"

The sound of music suddenly sounded.

One after another, the old artists were still shouting loudly, and when the tune reached a high point, Zhang Delin sang with his voice: "General's ...... There was a bang for the mountains!"

I thought it was going to be calm, but suddenly, the group of old artists shouted again.

"Hey!" shouted and stomped his feet.

There were a few people who didn't know the old way and almost thought they were coming to smash the field.

"Man in armor and saddle immediately!"

"Huh...... Hey!"

"Big and small people shout!"

"Hey!"

"Urge the men and horses to the front!"

"Huh...... Hey!"

……

One after another, one after another, one higher than the other, the old artists on the stage completely let go of the performance, without the slightest stage fright, as if they were in their own yard.

"The outpost soldier reported it!"

"Hey...... Hi ......"

After singing the song, the veteran artists packed up their things and prepared to step down.

Chen Yixia suddenly stood up from his seat, and he suddenly shouted, "Who is lining up this show?"

The leader of the theater on the side was extremely nervous, and hurriedly ran over and said: "Director Chen, this is an old Huayin dialect, it is from Huayin, Liu Xingwu, don't dare to come over quickly!"

Liu Xingwu's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he had been waiting on the side for a long time, and ran over in a few steps.

Chen Yixia felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but she didn't remember it.

"Director Chen, meet again. Liu Xingwu said with a smile.

"Are you the old Huayin person?" Chen Yixia couldn't believe it.

There are a group of old men on stage, and Liu Xingwu is obviously a lot younger.

"Director Chen, our Huayin Laohua is a national intangible cultural heritage, and the Cultural Affairs Bureau has established the Laohua Protection Center, and I am the deputy director of the protection center, Liu Xingwu. "Introduce yourself.

"You have a very good rehearsal of this show, can you repeat the show just now?" asked Chen Yixia.

Liu Xingwu wanted to ask why he wanted to do it again, but he swallowed it back at the very end.

"I can act!" Liu Xingwu said firmly.

"Okay, then you can do it again for me, I want to see it. Chen Yixia said with a smile.

Liu Xingwu immediately ran to the edge of the stage and shouted at it: "Master Delin, Master Delin, don't go first, Director Chen will let you perform again!"

Zhang Delin didn't ask much, and returned to his seat directly.

Originally, they didn't sing enough after singing one voice, and it doesn't matter if they sing it again, it's not a problem to sing it a few more times.

Just now I sang "Will Shake the Mountains and Rivers", this time I changed the song and sang "Collecting the Five Tigers and Scolding the Way".

Seeing that the old artists returned to the stage, Chen Yixia hurriedly returned to his seat, but instead of sitting down, he stood.

Chen Yixia stood, and the people next to him were all standing, and no one sat down.

The song sounded, and Chen Yixia's eyes stared even tighter.

"Fingers open the way and shout and scold!" Zhang Delin suddenly sang.

"Hey!" the other entertainers shouted, stomping their feet.

"I'll scold you for being ignorant!"

"Hey!" shouted, stomping his feet.

Hearing this, Chen Yixia suddenly remembered that the type of drama recommended to him by Professor Li of the Central Conservatory of Music seemed to be called Huayin Laojiao.

"It's him!" Chen Yixia said secretly in his heart.

Originally, I didn't have any hope for the old dialect, and I didn't even write it down, but I didn't expect the most surprising thing to be the old Huayin dialect.

On the stage, Zhang Delin continued to sing: "Yesterday King Liang ordered you!"

"Hey!" the other artists echoed.

Chen Yixia was intoxicated when he heard it, and he couldn't extricate himself from it.

"Why don't you listen to it!" Zhang Delin pretended to be angry and scolded.

"Hey!" shouted in unison, stomping their feet.

……

"Push out the gate and ask for beheading!" Zhang Delin sang to the last sentence.

The other artists began to sing together: "Hey...... Hi...... Hi Hi Hi ...... Ahh......hhh Hi ......"

The whole theater was looking at the stage, watching the performances of the veteran artists.

The old dialect seems to be very popular now, but there are still many people who have not heard of it, even some personnel from the Academy of Opera.

Today, many of you here are hearing and seeing the performance of the old dialect for the first time.

There are only two words in everyone's hearts: "shock"!

This performance is like a bright moon in the night sky in this theater, which is eye-catching and unforgettable.

After singing the song, Chen Yixia was silent for a while, and then slowly walked in front of Liu Xingwu.

"Director Liu, how about we work together?" Chen Yixia said suddenly.

Liu Xingwu was directly dumbfounded, and his mind was blank.

Although he dreamed of cooperating with Chen Yixia countless times in his dreams, he still couldn't believe it when it really happened in front of him.

Chen Yixia really invited Lao Yan to cooperate with them in the drama!

The surrounding artists also all had gloomy faces and threw up their sleeves and left.

Chen Yixia fell in love with a rustic old man, and he couldn't watch other dramas, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

However, today's performance was originally prepared for the drama, but no matter how much resentment there is in my heart, I can't show it directly, so I can only leave.

"Director Chen, Director Chen, I'm ......" Liu Xingwu was a little incoherent.

He had countless words to say in his heart, but when they came to his mouth, they were all crowded together, and he couldn't spit out a word.

"Don't worry, you think slowly, you kid can't talk quite well in the toilet, why is this cowardly?" Chen Yixia teased.

Liu Xingwu's face turned red and said with a smile: "At that time, I didn't know that I could do it." ”

"Okay, if you don't agree, if you don't want to, I'll go find someone else. Chen Yixia pretended to be impatient and said.

"I promise! I promise!" Liu Xingwu hurriedly grabbed Chen Yixia's arm.

"If you say yes, hurry up and get ready, and we'll go to a meeting together. Chen Yixia said slowly.

The selection performance is over, and there is no need to perform if you don't perform later.

In Chen Yixia's heart, the old dialect is the most perfect and suitable, and there is no need to look for anything else.

Chen Yixia walked to the stage, took the microphone and said: "Thank you for coming over today, your performances are very exciting, I like it very much, I am very satisfied, but this drama needs a suitable opera, so everyone, I'm sorry." ”

What should be said is still to be said, so many famous people have come all the way to cheer, and they can't let people just leave.

After speaking, Chen Yixia stepped down.

The staff of the drama crew invited everyone to a meal together, and then sent those people away.

At the end of the selection, Liu Xingwu took the old artists to a conference room.

Chen Yixia and other members of the drama crew sat on the side, and the veteran artists sat on the side.

There are also actors sitting on the side of Qin Yan, and this time Chen Yixia only chose Qin Yan and Lao Yan as the music in the drama.

Looking at it, several people around Chen Yixia are actors, and they have often seen it on TV, so they are very familiar.

The old artists don't know Chen Yixia, but they know these actors.

Liu Xingwu on the side looked happy, it was very happy that his works could be recognized, and more importantly, Chen Yixia could see that these scenes were discharged.

Huayin Laojiao has performed countless scenes, and no one has ever asked or said this question, thinking that Laojiao has been like this since ancient times.

Chen Yixia can see at a glance that it is re-arranged, and his eyes are vicious.

"Director Liu, how many tunes do you have?" asked Chen Yixia.

"We have more than 200 plays, and we can do them whenever you want. Liu Xingwu swore solemnly.

Although many plays have not been performed, with the strength of veteran artists, it is still possible to perform with more practice.

"We don't need so much, we only need a dozen paragraphs. Chen Yixia said slowly.

"The two scenes on stage were very good, and I need to watch the other pieces again. ”

Although it has been decided that he wants to be old-fashioned, Chen Yixia still wants to take a look at it, so that he can know it in his heart.

If you want to combine the old dialect with the drama, it is not that it is good to insert it directly and strongly, the most important thing is to integrate it, not being blunt is just the most basic, and the most important thing is to make the old dialect have an amplifying effect on the drama.

Liu Xingwu originally wanted the old artists to continue performing here, but Chen Yixia proposed to go to Huayin to watch the performance in person.

The great director attaches great importance to the old style.

The group came directly to Huayin, and the venue of the performance was set in Zhang He's theater.

Chen Yixia led the troupe to sit in the audience, each with a notebook and pen in their hands, ready to record at any time.

After the performance began, Zhang Delin and others walked on the stage.

first performed the new song "Guanzhong Ancient Songs", Chen Yixia's eyes flashed, and he was very surprised.

Liu Xingwu is in the role of deputy director of the Laojiao Protection Center, and he is also the director of the Laojiao program.

Every play that he first performed on stage was choreographed by himself.

The performance of "Guanzhong Ancient Songs" ended, followed by a song "The East is Always Empty".

Chen Yixia and others nodded frequently, and they were very satisfied with the old performance.

The last performance was the shadow puppet show "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu".

After selecting a few representative and mature repertoire performances, Chen Yixia's heart was even more satisfied.

This is the kind of opera work he wants that can represent Guanzhong and the loess style.

"Director Liu, after discussion, we decided to use the old Huayin dialect as the interspersed music in the drama. Chen Yixia said slowly.

After the decision, the meeting officially began.

"I think we can use Huayin Laohua as a form of music and perform it in a drama. Chen Yixia proposed.

The old artists didn't understand, and Zhang He didn't understand either, so he sat on the side and listened to the big guy's speech.

"Director Chen, I don't think that's good. A member of the drama crew said.

Everyone looked at it.

"I also watched the performance of Huayin Laohua just now, and Huayin's singing has a feeling of 'narration', which is the most primitive rap, and we can hear the desolate charm from it, which is not found in other operas. The man said with a heartfelt voice.

What he said made sense, Chen Yixia nodded.
