Chapter 14: Zhou Bai's play
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone
Wandering in a long, long
Lonely rain alley,
I hope it will be
A clove-like
A girl with a grudge.
……
The poem "Rain Alley" has been written for almost 70 years, and Rain Lane has been on the list of recitation choices for so many years, but it may be easy for this work to pass, but it is difficult to be brilliant, because it is difficult to express the layering and artistic conception of the work without much change in tone.
When Zhou Bai on the stage recited in a low and sad tone, the people present were immediately attracted, and the hazy and deep beauty made them feel it clearly.
In fact, to deal with this work, the melancholy and lonely feeling is largely dependent on mature technology without the background music, and Zhou Bai's recitation skills are of course not as good as Qiao Zhen, Pu Cunxi and other famous artists, but it is better than the emotional truth, natural and delicate.
With Zhou Bai's recitation, the people in the examination room also followed his voice into the rain alley seventy years ago, the hazy smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, hesitant and lonely with a hint of dreamlike hope.
I have to say that Zhou Bai's handling of the poem "Rain Alley" is very smart, and he is excellent in the handling of rhythm, emotion, and intonation, and his performance is profound and complete, and the layering of this work has not been lost, which is particularly rare.
In fact, by the time this poem was finished, three minutes had already passed, and there was almost an extra minute of time, but the candidates in the same room were not dissatisfied, because in the face of excellent works, the charm of art attracted everyone, and after listening to them, there was only the satisfaction of appreciating the masterpieces.
"Bang Bang!" I don't know who started it, the candidates in the same audience actually applauded Zhou Bai, and even the examiners present gave face to the applause.
Zhou Bai bowed to the teachers, bowed to the fellow candidates who were applauding, and hurriedly stepped down.
Zhou Bai is still quite satisfied with this play, recitation has actually always been his strength, and his control of the breath has reached a certain level after long-term martial arts practice, and even when he didn't have the idea of participating in the art exam, he also liked to study recitation, and he performed recitations or sketches at the school party.
Wang Liya made eye contact with the teacher in the same room, and saw the satisfaction and a trace of shock in the other party's eyes, Wang Liya firmly had a thought in her heart, even if Zhou Bai's cultural class was very bad, she must recruit this candidate into the Chinese opera, even if it is a score reduction.
Zhou Bai's perfect performance still had an impact on the candidates behind him to a certain extent, and their recitation obviously carried a nervous and urgent mood, and they lost a lot of points.
Is recitation very important in the first attempt? It is very important for students, but not really very important to examiners and teachers, and the ultimate purpose is to observe students.
For example, the diva's ex-husband Li Yapeng, he took the art exam to accompany his friends, and the teacher asked him to sing, but he said no; Acting in a sketch, no; Tell me a story, I won't, I finally sang "Love Song 1990", but I forgot the words halfway through the song, but people just passed, it's magical enough, right?
For example, the international chapter in the "Eight Golden Hairpins", she can only dance, and she has no performance experience, and she didn't figure out the difference between dance and performance when she participated in the pre-exam tutorial class.
Another example is Lao Xu in Sidan, when she took the art exam, she couldn't sing and dance, so she performed a mosquito bite on her face, and she directly performed that she was disfigured by mosquitoes, but she finally ran around the examination room and was admitted. This run is a real run, a running run, is to run around the classroom with the sound of the piano, and then I was admitted, it's a myth!
After the recitation session, the proposition performance test did not start immediately, and several examiners began to communicate, exchanging opinions on the evaluation of the candidates just now, as well as the selection of the next proposition performance questions.
Compared with later generations, the current proposition performance exam is actually a lot more casual, and the ones that have passed are basically decided, and in the eyes of the examiner, those who have potential and moldability can pass without acting, yes, they are so capricious.
"Candidates, please note that everyone is gathered in the middle of the stage. Wang Liya clapped her hands and waited for everyone to look at her before she spoke.
Ten people soon gathered on the stage, and at this time, the expressions of the candidates who played well and the candidates who played badly were different, and some of them were already affected unconsciously.
"First of all, as your examiner, I want to say that I hope you forget the recitation session just now, no matter how well you just played, it is a thing of the past. And the next performance is the focus now, don't let the previous part affect your performance. Wang Liya said calmly, this is also a warning to the candidates.
The examinees in the audience were all thoughtful when they heard what they said, and some of the affected examinees also calmed down, and they all paid attention to listen carefully to the teacher's next speech.
And Zhou Bai has always been calm and natural, he has always been an orderly person, even if he didn't play well just now, he won't take it too seriously, to put it bluntly, this product is already big-hearted.
"Now I will divide you into groups, candidates No. 660 and candidates No. 662 and No. 666 are in a group, and candidates No. 661 are in a group ...... 667" Wang Liya divided the candidates in the field into four groups, and then arranged the order of the performance.
"This time, the title of your proposition performance is 'Rain', you will have five minutes to discuss, and then perform, are you all clear?" Wang Liya continued, and Zhou Bai's group was arranged to perform first.
Seeing that Zhou Bai and their group in the field all nodded, Wang Liya said: "Okay, you can discuss, I hope you can communicate well in five minutes." ”
The candidates who were divided into Zhou Bai's group included Yue Hongchang from southern Hunan with No. 660, and candidate No. 662 named Yang Sitian, from the magic capital.
It's raining, this proposition performance is very simple, if it's a solo performance it will be much easier, you can perform to hide from the rain, collect clothes, help people who have fallen, and help grandma cross the road.
But this is a three-person sketch, at least until the completion of this exam, they are all a team, how to cooperate is related to the results of each of them, in fact, this is also the purpose of the examiners, through the proposition performance to observe the student's teamwork ability, adaptability, response ability and so on.
After making eye contact, Zhou Bai suddenly found that Yue Hongchang and Yang Sitian were both looking at him, and they all looked at him like this, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Since it's raining, our performance has to be close to the topic, have a simple story line, and have the opportunity to show each other, which depends on everyone's discussion. Zhou Bai was not hypocritical, time was pressing, and he said directly.
"Why don't you set the story that after the rain, the people on the street will each hide from the rain?" Yue Hongchang's eyes immediately lit up and continued.
"No, that's too monotonous, and the story has no main line at all. Yang Sitian shook his head and denied that the sketch should at least have a complete story line.
"It's better to ...... like this," everyone began to discuss word by word, and then set the main line of the story.
They finally settled on a sketch about a girl who was shopping because of the sudden heavy rain in the sky, so she had to flee in a panic, and ended up breaking into a small shop with no customers. The boss is very kind and enthusiastic about her, but she didn't expect that an unscrupulous hooligan happened to come in to hide from the rain, and in this small shop, the hooligan, the girl, and the boss had a series of stories.
Zhou Bai's setting is that in the end, there will be another big reversal, it turns out that the boss is pretended to be a fugitive, the hooligan is pretended by the people's police, and the girl inadvertently hides from the rain and triggers a series of stories later.
The performances of the candidates in Zhou Bai's group are not very outstanding, but they are all decent, they are actually students, and they are all at the same young age.
The fugitive boss of Zhou Bai's performance made the eyes of the examiners present shine, not because of how good his acting skills are and how powerful his skills are, but from Zhou Bai's performance, they can see a high degree of plasticity, and the whole performance can be regarded as real and natural.
That's it, a try passed.
