Chapter 470: Absolute Classic!
"If the overlord had this sword, he would have slaughtered Liu Bang a long time ago! If you become the emperor, then you are the mother of the main palace. ”
"Senior brother, I'll give you this sword!"
"Oh, watch out, my little man! ”
Senior brother's casual joke when he was young, Xiaodouzi's promise has been serious for a whole life, because that promise is his true wish!
Cheng Dieyi's wish is not only to give the sword to the overlord, but also to become the mother of the main palace.
However, the senior brother is not the real overlord, and the junior brother can only be Yu Ji in the play, so the junior brother Cheng Dieyi was trapped in the play and couldn't extricate himself, and when he played Yu Ji, he reached the level of not being crazy and not living!
Every time he sings the scene of "Farewell My Concubine", it is actually a repetition of Cheng Dieyi's experience, only on the stage, the overlord Duan Xiaolou belongs to him alone, and he can enjoy this forbidden possessiveness.
After growing up, Cheng Dieyi still thinks about the sword and the throne of her main palace.
"From the beginning to the end, Senior brother, I want you to follow me... No, let me sing with you for the rest of my life, okay?"
"No, have you sung it for half your life?"
"No! It's a lifetime, a year, a month, a day, an hour, it's not a lifetime!"
Shang Changrong thought that he was old and had experienced the ups and downs of life, so he would not have any emotions for the characters in Zhang Chu's book.
But this sentence directly shattered all reason, and made him feel empathetic, this is Dieyi's insignificant wish, if you can't accompany your brother for a lifetime, then sing with him for a lifetime!
Just before, he still didn't like Zhang Chu writing about the relationship between two men in the pear orchard, but now it seems that he is a little moved, such a love story is not shameful.
Shang Changrong noticed that the old friend next to him had slapped his thigh several times, he put down the book and asked casually, "Old guy, why do you look like you are sighing for a long time?"
Xu Ji gently pushed his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose upwards, and said with emotion: "I heard Zhang Chu tell this story before, and I thought it would be average, but I didn't expect him to really integrate the story of the overlord Yu Ji into the story and background of the characters." In the future, the most famous Ming Duan of Peking Opera will probably belong to this!"
"It's possible, maybe the opera troupes around the country will increase the rehearsal lineup of this play, and if it can really let more people get in touch with Peking Opera, it will be a great achievement. ”
Peking Opera has a lot of famous passages as the quintessence of the country, such as "The Empty City Strategy", "The Drunken Concubine", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Su Sanqi", "Mu Guiying in Charge", "Red Lady", "Red Lantern" and so on, and the rest also have many wonderful repertoire.
If the content of "Farewell My Concubine" is of the same quality as the previous one, it will really greatly enhance the popularity of Farewell My Concubine, a famous Peking Opera segment, and even jump to the first!
After Zhang Chu heard the conversation between the two old men on the side, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is a good thing, but if you let Farewell My Concubine completely represent Peking Opera, it may be a bit too much." ”
"Don't say it, don't say it. I'd better hurry up and finish reading the rest of the content, this story of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou. ”
Shang Changrong shook the stack of printer paper in his hand with his hand and continued to look down.
……
For Duan Xiaolou, the sword is a prop for acting, and it is something outside the play. However, for Cheng Dieyi, it is the true love that has accumulated over the years, and it is in the play.
Dieyi gave the sword not to mention the drama, but to mention their previous agreement and affection.
Spinning and dancing, long sleeves flying, singing the fragment of "The Drunken Concubine" Cheng Dieyi can be called a peerless elegance, Yuan Siye applauded, and even the Japanese Ben Aoki Saburo removed the saber and took off his gloves to applaud, this is his highest moment.
"It seems that this is really not the prototype of Mr. Mei Lanfang, if it is really Mr. Mei, he will never sing for the Japanese people!" Xu Ji nodded in his heart, this is not history, but fictional reality.
When Dieyi was arrested for traitor, Ju Xian miscarried in the commotion of the officers and soldiers and the actors, and Duan Xiaolou was in a dilemma between his junior brother and his wife.
From the disputes of the Republic of China to the War of Resistance Against Japan, from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the ten-year revolution, Zhang Chu's pen tone is not in a hurry or slow, and seamlessly combines the stories of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou with the times.
The story of the EN Revolution period reminded Shang Changrong of the difficult years at the beginning, how similar is the experience of these two Peking Opera performers to himself?
Don't look at him as a Peking Opera master now, but he was also the target of criticism at the beginning, his father Shang Xiaoyun was still choreographing revolutionary modern Peking Opera before, and in a blink of an eye, he became a representative of the black line of literature and art.
And he Shang Changrong was also imprisoned, became a porter at a construction site, was criticized during the day as a propagandist of the emperor and generals, and was dragged out at night to play the heroic figure of Gao Daquan.
His father did not survive such criticism, but Shang Changrong finally waited for the dawn of the new era with the spirit of Ah Q!
Under such extreme conditions, Shang Changrong understands the actions of these characters very well, it is too normal, everyone reports and frames others for self-protection.
Only those who have experienced it understand that no matter how dark the depiction of human nature in literature, film and television works, it cannot compare to reality.
The ugliness of human nature was forced to the fullest in those ten years, and the conflict seemed to reach a high level at this time, resenting each other, betraying each other, and betraying each other.
Many years later, the two of them met again, and the two who had reached the twilight of their lives once again co-starred in Farewell My Concubine: when Dieyi held the hand of the hilt of the sword, she slowly stroked the hilt of the sword like water, and the evidence of the counter-revolutionary crime had been hanging on Duan Xiaolou's waist, and the lightning and flint were out of the sheath, and Yu Ji and Cheng Dieyi seemed to be integrated at this time!
sang Farewell My Concubine countless times, and finally died in his own dream.
"Good! Well written!" Xu Ji finished reading the whole story in a trance, perhaps this is the most happy ending.
Shang Changrong even clapped his hands, "Xiao Zhang, your book is amazing! I have never seen such a good integration with Peking Opera in my life, and now my heart is still a little blocked." ”
"Lao Shang, don't say it. He is really not bad, it not only involves the art of Peking Opera and the life of Peking Opera actors, but also has a lot of delicate thoughts on traditional culture and human nature. Go back and look at the books I was looking for.,What kind of stories are they?!It's not a level at all.。 ”
"Xiao Zhang, the story is excellent. To tell the truth, when I just watched the beginning, I wanted to kick you out, and now I have to pour you a cup of tea to keep it, although I haven't experienced the turmoil of the Republic of China, but the back makes me feel a kind of empathy, and I can see that you have a deep understanding of Peking Opera. ”
Shang Changrong shouted angrily: "Sister-in-law Song, pour Xiao Zhang a cup of tea!"
