159 Arrows and Uncles
Old students are generally divided into two kinds of civil and military, and from the focus of the performance, they can be divided into singing old students, working old students and martial old students.
The old students of singing workers are also called the old students of Angong, and they mainly sing. The main reason is that this kind of old student is mainly singing, so his action is relatively secondary, the range of action is smaller, his attitude is more leisurely and calm, and he is always more calm and stable when singing, so he is called an old student.
There is also a kind of drama between singing and workmanship, which is mainly recital, and both the old singer and the worker's student can perform it at the same time. Because it is difficult to master a large section of recitation, from the perspective of performance skills, it is much more difficult than singing and workmanship, so this kind of drama is rarely performed now.
The old worker, also known as the old student of the declining school, is a kind of industry based on performance. There are also two explanations for the decay of the old students, one is that this kind of old students play the role of old and frail and wearing white beards, so they are called the declining students.
Wu Laosheng includes two types: long support and arrow clothing (commonly known as short fighting). Relying on the old students is also known as relying on the old students. "Rely on" is a special term for Peking Opera, which is the armor worn by ancient military generals. Wearing armor, in Peking Opera is called draping or piercing.
"Handle" is the abbreviation of "handle", which is a weapon, commonly known as a knife and gun handle, and is also a special term for Peking Opera. All veteran characters who wear armor, hold weapons, and are good at martial arts are called relying on old students.
In addition, there is also a kind of martial arts laosheng drama wearing arrow clothes, called arrow clothes old students.
There are also some dramas that pay equal attention to civil and military, and they cannot be clearly divided. For example, "Dingjun Mountain" is generally included in the old dramas, and it is very representative. But this play must not only have a beautiful frame and skillful martial arts, but also be able to run around the circle while singing a fast allegro, and it must also sing in a sonorous rhythm, emotional, and clear and accurate words.
In addition to dividing the details of the old students' behavior according to the focus of the performance, there is also a way to divide the old students according to the type of clothing that should be worn according to the identity and social status of the role.
The types that are divided in this way are: old students with hats, old students with robes, old students with pleats, old students with handles, and old students with arrows.
The old student of the king hat refers to the king hat hidden on his head and the dragon robe on his body, which is to play the role of the emperor on the stage.
Pleats play the most roles.
Pleats are the name of a kind of clothing, and the style is a bit like the kind of clothes worn by monks and veterans, with a large oblique collar, a large oblique placket, and a long robe with large sleeves. Because it is very similar to the robes worn by monks and old Taoists. Therefore, it is commonly known as Taoist robes. This is a kind of casual dress on the stage, and it is generally divided into several types: one is embroidered on the top, called flower pleats, the other is relatively plain, called plain pleats, and the pure black ones are called green pleats. This is a kind of civilian clothes worn by ordinary people, or people with not too high status, or ordinary scholars and talents.
There are many characters who wear pleats, including some gentlemen and officials in the opposition, who also wear this kind of civilian clothes. Anyone who wears this kind of clothing is called a pleated old student.
The "arrow" of the old student is the abbreviation of the arrow clothing. "氅" means "氅", which is a coat that is covered outside. The old student of the arrow is the person who wears the clothes such as the open one on the outside of the arrow suit. Most of these people are from martial arts backgrounds, and there may not be martial arts fights in the play, but because these characters are from martial arts backgrounds, they also wear such costumes.
In front of Liu Fengying and many famous actors present, Cheng Xiaolou wrote a play on the spot that was a representative work "Wujia Po" among the old dramas of Jianyu.
Cheng Xiaolou has a lot of old-fashioned dramas in his head, but he thinks about it, and finally feels that "Wujia Po" and "Meilong Town" are the most suitable for tomorrow's occasion.
Because after all, it is a commemorative performance for the 10th anniversary of Liu Fengying's debut, plus the play he wants to sing, there are only four plays in total, two of which are Liu Fengying's famous works, and the other finale drama "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" is crossed by more than ten first-line celebrities.
If Cheng Xiaolou's singing is too noisy, how will the fans who will be here tomorrow feel in their hearts?
And what do you think about the other roles who played Boss Liu's cross-knife role?
Of course, there is also a very important point, that is, Cheng Xiaolou also wants to sing a play on the same stage with Liu Fengying in the real sense.
The reason why "Wujia Poe" was chosen instead of "Westgate Town" is mainly due to the difference in story content.
"Meilong Town", also known as "Dragon and Phoenix", is when Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in micro-clothes, he met Sister Li Feng, a lively restaurant girl in Meilong Town, and the two fell in love at first sight. After Zhengde returned to the palace, he wanted to marry Sister Li Feng, but was obstructed by the queen mother.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with choosing this play, but Liu Fengying's finale of tomorrow's performance was called "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", and he sang "Swimming Dragon and Phoenix", the dragon and the phoenix fought each other, and there was a faint meaning of fighting in the ring.
Moreover, Liu Fengying's status in the pear orchard world is indeed the king of birds, and although he Cheng Xiaolou has some fame, he is still only a newcomer to the pear orchard after all.
Compete with the world's No. 1 Tsing Yi Liu Fengying Liu Boss in the play, and when the time comes, there is a chance that someone will spray him, and his face will be full of saliva.
Cheng Xiaolou naturally wouldn't do this kind of stupid thing.
"I didn't expect that Boss Cheng not only sang well, but also wrote this handwriting really extraordinary, the strokes are round and beautiful, the frame is square, gentle and elegant, light and flowing, and the brushwork is exquisite and beautiful, and full of bookish and rich atmosphere. Good words, really good words!"
Cheng Xiaolou handed the written script to Liu Fengying, who took it and looked at it for the first time, and couldn't help but praise it in public.
"Hehe, Boss Cheng is really a treasure boy, although I don't know calligraphy, but your handwriting looks comfortable. ”
"I didn't believe that there was any genius in this world before, but now I do!"
"Boss Cheng, your handwriting is so good-looking, sign it for me in a while. ”
......
Several female characters who had a good personal relationship with Liu Fengying also came over, and they were also surprised to see Cheng Xiaolou's handwriting.
No one knows that Cheng Xiaolou's handwriting has been copied and practiced under the strict requirements of his grandfather since he was six years old, and he has practiced for thirty years before he can barely understand the essence of Zhao Ti.
The glyph tends to be flattened and square, the strokes of Zhao are round and beautiful, and the frame is square.
Zhao Ti skimming paintings, paintings, and horizontal stretching, the character gesture horizontally spread. Borrowing from the line of calligraphy, some of the words are between the lines, which is beautiful and moving.
Those who are familiar with Zhao Ti know that Zhao Ti calligraphy has four major characteristics.
One is to hide the dew knot, the stroke writing of the regular script is generally against the front of the pen, back to the front of the pen, the edge is hidden, extremely heavy and subtle. Zhao Tizi dares to talk about the reverse into the front, but the starting point of the Zhao Ti character strokes only focuses on taking the reverse trend, reversing from the air, and does not completely hide the edge. When the pen is closed, there is the meaning of returning to the front, but it is not deliberately frustrated to return to the front, and it is forced to be mellow. This kind of writing not only does not detract from the beauty of the animal, but adds a sense of vitality and natural lightness.
The second is that the pen is evenly stopped. The strokes of Zhao Ti have their own changes in weight and weight, but they are more Yan Ti. As for the willow body, it is obviously much more even. And there's no such fixed program. Which stroke should be heavier and which stroke should be lighter is completely randomly determined according to the needs of the word.
The third is the ups and downs, the painting of Zhao Ti, the horizontal painting is undulating, and there are twists and turns.
Fourth, the dot painting echoes, Zhao Ti Kaishu draws on the writing method of the line, there is the line of calligraphy, the dot painting echoes before and after, and the brushwork is connected. Some even simply use the way of writing calligraphy, and there is a ribbon between the strokes.
Cheng Xiaolou has been learning Zhao Ti since he was a child, and his grandfather taught him that he must abide by the word "single-mindedness" when learning calligraphy.
Therefore, since Cheng Xiaolou learned Zhao Ti calligraphy, he has never practiced the calligraphy of other calligraphers in his life, so in terms of Zhao Ti alone, he can indeed be regarded as a housekeeper.
After 30 years of study, in calligraphy, it is not an exaggeration to call him a calligrapher.
