187 Practice before learning drama

"Okay, listen to Boss Cheng's arrangement. ”

"Xiaolou, you can arrange it however you want. ”

Mei Lang and Duan Lanquan both nodded at the same time.

As Cheng Xiaolou said, "The Legend of the White Snake" is a brand-new drama for them, even if they are all old people who have studied drama for many years, if they want to sing this play well, they still have to listen to Cheng Xiaolou's arrangement.

Especially Mei Lang, when he heard that Cheng Xiaolou was going to start with the basic skills, his excited hands were faintly trembling.

Cheng Xiaolou is now the most sought-after first-line big horn in the pear orchard world, and being able to let him teach the drama hand-in-hand is simply a blessing for Mei Lang in his previous life.

"Okay, in that case, you should take a step and try it first. ”

Cheng Xiaolou didn't ink either, and started immediately when he said that he would start.

In more than ten days, he will go to the Royal Peking Opera University to report, the time itself is very tight, "The Legend of the White Snake" is another big play, there are more than ten folds in total, according to his plan, how to discharge "Swimming in the Lake" and "Broken Bridge" first during this time.

When a new play is released, if you want to sing well, it will take a while to polish it.

According to Cheng Xiaolou's idea, when the time comes for him to start school, Duan Lanquan and Mei Lang can polish the details by themselves first, and then he will take time to rehearse with them, and when the polishing is completed, he can find a theater to audition.

This can only be the case for the big play, after all, it takes at least three months to rehearse and perform the entire "Legend of the White Snake", and with the time of rehearsal and polishing, it will not be possible to do it in half a year.

The total time for rehearsals will not be less than three hours, let alone singing, even if you stand on the stage and recite the words, it is estimated that few people can do it.

"It's not just used in the play "The Legend of the White Snake", it's used in many plays. ”

"Come, put your hands on your hips, lift your feet, squat your legs slightly, and stabilize yourself! Senior brother walks very steadily, Mei Lang, your upper body is stable, don't shake, your toes are half pulled to the soles of your feet. ”

At the beginning of the rehearsal, Cheng Xiaolou immediately changed into a strict teacher, and his requirements for Duan Lanquan and Mei Lang were very strict and harsh.

Especially Mei Lang, because he didn't know much about him before, Cheng Xiaolou also wanted to rehearse from the basic skills to investigate how well he practiced the basic skills.

The so-called miss is a thousand miles.

Peking Opera also pays attention to every move, every style, every smile must be in place, the same action, the same look, experienced people in Liyuan make it, and the foundation is not so thick Although it looks the same, in fact, it is not half a star.

The same action, how to look at how comfortable everyone in Liyuan is, how to look at it, how to make people feel pleasing to the eye.

With the same look, the Peking Opera master made it to convey a lot of spirit.

Therefore, the basic skills are not solid, which is related to the quality of the whole play.

If Duan Lanquan and Mei Lang's basic skills are not enough to get home, Cheng Xiaolou would even prefer to rehearse "The Legend of the White Snake" next year, and let them hone their basic skills every day this year.

When you have thoroughly understood the kung fu to be used in the whole play, when will you officially start rehearsing.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Waist waist waist, waist up, all remember, what you want on stage is that energy, all the movements have to be tightened and lifted, and it feels like there is always a rope on the top of your head to hold you again. ”

"Okay, hold on, steady. ”

"Let's walk for five minutes!"

Cheng Xiaolou stood up from the chair with the ring ruler and carefully observed every detail of Duan Lanquan and Mei Lang.

What made him feel relieved was that the two of them were basically very solid, even if there were a few small details that were not in place, after he had reminded them, whether it was Duan Lanquan or Mei Lang, they would adjust it as soon as possible.

"While you are walking, I will roughly tell you about the play "The Legend of the White Snake", so that you have a more intuitive concept in your minds. ”

Cheng Xiaolou began to explain while supervising the two of them with a ring ruler.

"The Legend of the White Snake" tells the story of the snake fairy Bai Suzhen who married Xu Xian, and was later suppressed by Zen Master Fahai to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda. ”

"The two snake immortals who have been cultivating for thousands of years in Emei Mountain came to the West Lake in the world and turned into beautiful girls White Lady and Qing'er. They met the young Xu Xian in the rain, and the white lady and Xu Xian fell in love and became husband and wife. ”

"Here, senior brother and Mei Lang, you all have to pay attention, the whole "Legend of the White Snake" starts with the meeting of the White Snake and Xu Xian West Lake, and this section is the first fold of "Swimming in the Lake". ”

Because it needs to be specific to the point of rehearsal, Cheng Xiaolou specially explained it in sections, he didn't ask Duan Lanquan and Mei Lang to digest the complete play at once, but the first fold of "Swimming in the Lake" and the entire story framework must be remembered by them.

At least you have a complete concept in your mind, whether it is Xu Xian of Duan Lanquan or Mei Lang's Xiaoqing, you must be clear about the overall direction of the play, and understand each other's mental journeys in each time period.

If they just rely on Cheng Xiaolou's cramming indoctrination, they will never want to sing the essence of "The Legend of the White Snake" in their lives.

The monk Fahai thought that this was a demon evil, so he tricked Xu Xian into drunk his wife with realgar wine on the Duanyang Festival. The white lady showed a snake shape when she was drunk, scaring Xu Xian to death. After the white lady woke up, she was in pain, and she forgot to die and went to the fairy mountain to steal the fairy grass and save Xu Xian.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xian recovered from his illness and was lured to Jinshan Temple by Fahai. The White Lady and Qing'er arrived, but Fahai did not allow the fairy to come out, the White Lady was helpless, and Qing'er mobilized the water tribe, the water flooded the golden mountain, Fahai invited the gods to protect the law to help the battle, the white lady was close to the delivery period, the physical strength was weak and retreated, fortunately there were many water tribes to escort, and they had to fight out of the encirclement.

The White Lady went to the West Lake Broken Bridge again, reminiscing about the past, and was extremely sad. At this time, Xu Xian had regretted coming to meet, Qing'er was angry, raised her sword to kill, the kind white lady hurriedly stopped, and explained the truth and hardship with tender words, which moved Xu Xian greatly, and persuaded Xiaoqing to forgive Xu Xian, reconcile the husband and wife, and rebuild the homeland.

Fahai cast a spell to dismantle Bai Suzhen and crush Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Tower. Subsequently, Xiaoqing rescued Bai Suzhen after a lot of hardships and reunited Bai Suzhen with Xu Xian and his wife. ”

Cheng Xiaolou tried his best to summarize the main content of the whole play in the most concise language.

Speaking of this, he paused and said again: "The story is roughly like this, I hope that in the next period of time, whether you are practicing, eating, sleeping, bathing, or even going to the bathroom, you will have to think about the roles you play." ”

"Mei Lang, if you are the green snake, seeing your sister White Snake being coaxed by Xu Xian to drink realgar wine, what kind of mood will you have, what will you do, what will your eyes, movements, and tone of speech be. ”

"If you want to sing this play well, then you have to become a green snake, and your senior brother has to become Xu Xian!
