136 Rehearsal of "Lock Five Dragons"
Cheng Xiaolou's last play is "Lock Five Dragons", which is about 17 minutes long.
In terms of time alone, it is neither long nor short.
When the makeup artist dressed him up, everyone on stage rehearsed exactly twice.
In this process, Cheng Xiaolou's eyes were always on the stage, and after watching it twice, he already knew the shortcomings of the people who played with the knife.
"Thank you for your hard work. ”
After changing his clothes and sketching his face, Cheng Xiaolou got up and nodded to the young makeup artist with a smile and thanked him, and then strode towards the stage.
Seeing the main man coming, everyone who had already rehearsed on both sides subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at him a little nervously.
Although they may have been singing for a longer time than Cheng Xiaolou, they have more experience on stage.
However, in front of Cheng Xiaolou, no one on the scene dared to put the score of the predecessors of Liyuan.
"Sifan" and "Night Run" were not only watched by the people present, Cheng Xiaolou's superb Peking Opera attainments are obvious to all.
"You have worked hard, and it is really not easy to get the play "Lock Five Dragons" out in just two days. ”
Cheng Xiaolou went straight to the stage, and the first thing he did was to bow solemnly to Wu Yong and the others who were holding the playbook.
"I can't help it, Boss Cheng, you are serious. ”
"Yes, yes, compared to you singing two new plays in two days, our hard work is nothing. ”
"Boss Cheng, this play is from you, please speak up if there are shortcomings. ”
......
Cheng Xiaolou's sudden bowing and salute startled everyone on the stage, especially the two people who happened to be standing in front of him, who were even more busy dodging, not daring to really accept such a big gift from him.
"Okay, time is pressing, I'll just say it when I have something to say. If there is any offense, please also ask Haihan. ”
He nodded lightly and said: "I believe you are already familiar with the script of "Lock Five Dragons", this play is about what happened in the Tang Dynasty in an ancient country called China on the parallel world earth. Li Shimin, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, attacked Zheng, Zheng Wang Shichong was defeated many times, and Shan Xiongxin rode alone into the Tang camp to fight to the death, and was captured by Wei Chigong. Before the execution, Wagangzhai's old friends Xu Ji, Luo Cheng, and Cheng Yanjin all went to the sacrifice, and they were determined to die. ”
"Lock Five Dragons" can actually be called beheading Xiongxin, you must know after two days of rehearsal, the whole play is about Xiongxin was beheaded, Wagang's old friends came forward to persuade him, was scolded by Ling Ran, and finally decided to die. ”
Cheng Xiaolou suddenly had a headache, without the support of the historical background and the script of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", no matter how he explained, he always felt a little dry.
Characters like Luo Cheng and Cheng Yanjin, who were familiar in their previous lives, don't seem to resonate with everyone at all when they are brought up here.
"Hey...... When the past few days are over, we must bring "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and other works to this world, otherwise it will be impossible to sing dramas related to historical figures in the future. ”
Seeing that everyone was at a loss, with an expression that seemed to understand or not, Cheng Xiaolou sighed faintly, and could only temporarily put aside those thoughts in his mind for the time being, and should continue to talk from a professional point of view.
"You are all experienced seniors, and you must know the special features of the net angle show. The sound cavity of the big flower face is magnificent, magnificent, and belongs to the sound cavity structure of the vigorous and pure and wide vocal range, and its sound vibration area and breath structure are far greater than those of other industries. ”
In particular, the full play of the resonance cavity has formed the unique vocal cavity momentum characteristics of the flower face industry. The singing voice of the flower face is not only good at expressing the character of the character, but also can fully express the emotions of the character. ”
When Cheng Xiaolou said this, he turned his gaze to the old student wearing a white costume and a black third on his chin and said politely: ""Lock Five Dragons" is a very emotional play, so you can let go a little more when singing, especially this teacher, Xu Ji you play needs to be a little more relaxed when singing. ”
Black san is a popular saying for a mustache, which must be divided into three strands, commonly known as three locks of long hair. There are black, pale, white, and red four colors, and most of them are worn for raw horns.
Mustache, a collective name for all kinds of false beards in opera, is also known as "mouth face", made of yak hair or human hair.
In the early days, the beard seemed to be tied with a thin rope, and the three locks of hair and full hair were shorter, close to the cheeks, close to realism. Later, copper wire was used as a hook, which tended to be exaggerated and decorative, and the style was gradually enriched.
The improvement of the mustache is related to the fact that the servants pay attention to using the mustache to do various body movements to portray the emotions and personalities of the characters, and thus form the "mustache mouth".
The color of all kinds of mustaches, generally black, gray (called "black", "cang" or "flower"), white, to distinguish the age of the characters, a few strange or violent characters and monsters, there are also wearing red hair, purple hair, blue hair, black and red hair.
"What Boss Cheng said is that he has been taught!"
The old student who played Xu Ji stroked his beard, and was not the slightest dissatisfied, but admired Cheng Xiaolou's Peking Opera attainments more and more.
Arching his hand politely, he looked at the actor of Wei Chigong and said: "The flower-faced singing voice first pays attention to the clear pronunciation, that is, the content of the lyrics must be accurately transmitted to the ears of the audience. If the words are not clear, the phenomenon of "sound eating words" will be formed, that is, fans can only hear the sound but cannot hear the words clearly, causing them a stupid "roar" feeling. ”
"Although your words only have the words 'in' and 'deling', it is precisely because of the lack of words that you must speak clearly and completely release that murderous feeling. ”
"Order!"
The middle-aged servant who played Yu Chigong immediately learned the movements of the characters in the play, and said loudly with his fists clenched.
The relationship between words and sound is the relationship between flesh and blood, and the combination of words and sounds is the unity of Peking Opera and other vocal arts and techniques.
The words are not clear, and the cavity is difficult to round.
The so-called "word collar cavity goes, cavity follows the word", this is the truth.??
"Yes, that's what it feels like. ”
Cheng Xiaolou nodded with a smile, gave a thumbs up with satisfaction, and looked at the little student who played Li Shiming and continued to talk.
These people who are cross-knife actors found by Li Jun have very rich experience in the stage, and their foundations are very good, the only shortcoming is that they have not yet fully understood the roles they play.
After his patient talk, everyone quickly found their feelings, and they were obviously better than just now.
After correcting some of their minor problems in turn, Cheng Xiaolou asked them to rehearse again.
In addition to correcting the deviations in singing, demeanor and limbs, this time is more to remind them of their positioning, standing and coordination on the stage.
