"Candidates 381 to 400 enter, and candidates 401 to 420 prepare. ”

When it was almost half past nine, Cheng Xiaolou heard the staff guarding the door of the art building shouting with a small loudspeaker, and he immediately became energetic.

His exam number is 404, which happens to be in the next group.

The group of candidates from 381 to 400 stayed in for a relatively longer time, and it took about five minutes to come out.

"It's finally me, and I don't know if letting so many people wait like this will also be a disguised test for the candidates by the school. ”

Hearing the staff shouting again with a small loudspeaker, Cheng Xiaolou rubbed the slightly sore legs he was standing on, muttered in his heart, and quickly entered the art building with the other nineteen people.

After entering, he found that there were four classrooms for the first round of basic skills exams, and there were three examiners in each examination room, and five people entered separately according to the test number.

Cheng Xiaolou's exam number is No. 404, which happens to be in the first exam room on the left hand side after entering the door.

The other four people in the same group as him are not very old, they all look like they are about twenty years old, two men and two women, their looks and figures are not bad, and they look like people in the two lines of Shengdan.

"Don't be nervous, the first round of the basic skills test is very simple, you just need to complete the specified actions according to the selected subjects. Now let's start the lottery, which of you will draw?"

After the five of them entered the examination room and respectfully saluted the three examiners, the male examiner in his forties in the middle said with a pleasant smile.

The four people next to Cheng Xiaolou, you look at me, I look at you, no one stood up for a while.

"Hehe, since no one took the initiative to draw lots, then I'll help you draw lots, anyway, they are all basic skills that you usually practice, and they are very simple. ”

The middle-aged examiner in the middle didn't give a few people time to think about it, and casually pressed a small red button on the table as he spoke, and then Cheng Xiaolou saw that the long and short words on the big screen on the wall were scrolling rapidly, because the scrolling speed was too fast, he only vaguely saw the words "cloud hand" and "round field".

The big screen scrolled for three seconds and then stopped, and there were only two large black characters on the huge screen.

But these two seemingly very simple big characters made the faces of the other four candidates in this group except Cheng Xiaolou change their faces at the same time, and they subconsciously gasped.

Even if he was fully mentally prepared before coming in, when Cheng Xiaolou saw the word "zombie" on the screen, he also subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

Perhaps the layman does not know the meaning of the word "zombie" in Peking Opera, but everyone in this circle knows that "zombie", also known as "stiff", refers to the action of the character stiffening and falling to the ground, which belongs to the opera blanket gong soft somersault performance program. It is divided into "soft zombies" and "hard zombies", soft zombies must first lower their waists, bend their bodies backwards to 45 degrees, and then fall straight to the ground, and hard zombies will directly fall to the ground.

"Soft zombies" are often used in shocking episodes such as fainting, suffocation, death, suicide, etc. "The Legend of the White Snake" "Wine Change", Xu Xian was scared to death by the transformed White Snake, that is, he fell to the ground with a "soft zombie".

"Hard zombies" are often used in episodes such as sudden fainting, self-slaughter, and sudden death. "Qin Xianglian" "Kill the Temple", the general Han Qi disobeyed the order to let go of Qin Xianglian's mother and son, and did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, at this time he fell a "hard zombie", his body was stiff in an instant, his whole body was as straight as a door panel, and he fell to the ground with a bang, brave and heroic, and played the demeanor of a strong man.

Whether it is a soft zombie or a hard zombie, it is one of the most difficult skills in Peking Opera performances, and it is also the most worrying and easily injured blanket skill, even some horns who have been on stage hundreds of times may not dare to use it.

"Don't be stunned, boys are hard zombies, girls are soft zombies, let's start quickly, there are so many people waiting outside. ”

The middle-aged examiner sitting in the middle still looked smiling, and his tone was also very soft, but the words he said made the four people next to Cheng Xiaolou have the urge to turn around and leave.

Just when the other four people were numb in scalp and gritting their teeth and still hesitating, they suddenly heard a crisp snap, they subconsciously turned their heads to follow the sound, only to see that the white T-shirt boy who came in with them had fallen stiffly and straight to the ground.

Cheng Xiaolou simply fell decisively, and couldn't help but startle the four candidates next to him, and even the three examiners in front of him were shocked.

"Okay, fall to the ground simply and decisively, the action standard is in place, not bad. ”

After a short period of surprise, the three examiners had smiles on their faces at the same time, and they had already finished scoring with a few strokes of the brush, and the female examiner in her thirties on the left beckoned to Cheng Xiaolou who was lying on the ground, signaling that he could stand up.

After he got up, the middle-aged male examiner in the middle gave him a serious look before continuing: "The next keyword...... Lower. ”

"What, teacher, we haven't made a move yet. ”

Hearing that the examiner was about to go on, the other four people were immediately stunned, and they were about to start the next keyword before they did anything, so their scores in "zombie" can be imagined.

This year, the admission rate of the special recruitment of the Royal Peking Opera University is already low, and more than 2,000 people compete for 12 places, not to mention that they have not done a single action, even if it is 0.5 points, they may be able to open up a gap of more than a dozen.

"I know, so I gave you a zero for the first item of "zombies". ”

The middle-aged examiner still had that smiling look, and he didn't even change his eyes when he said that he scored zero.

The girl standing on the far left also gritted her teeth and protested: "Teacher, you have already scored before we did any moves, and I am Tsing Yi, and I have never practiced 'zombie' at all, this is not fair!"

"I think it's fair, you all eat the bowl of rice of Peking Opera, don't you know that the most important thing about 'zombies' is that sudden and crisp energy, when you are suddenly scared to death when you perform on the stage, you have to tell the audience to wait a minute, I don't dare to die, wait for me to brew it, okay......"

"What's wrong with Tsing Yi, I asked you not to practice the basic skill of 'zombie'? If you think it's unfair, the door is over there, you can go out now!"

The middle-aged examiner sitting in the middle had a smile on his face even when he was training people to speak harshly.

"I really thought that the Royal Peking Opera was so easy to test, I really thought that I could sing two babbling sentences and dare to say that I was from Liyuan, the real Peking Opera everyone who did not practice the basic skills one by one more solidly, even if they encountered difficult movements on stage, they were not frowning!"

"Little girl, if you want to continue to eat this bowl of rice in the future, you must remember the words 'drama is as big as the sky'!"

Seeing that the girl was teary-eyed by what she said in a few words, and the big tears kept falling down, the examiner's expression finally changed, and he sighed lightly, and a touch of sadness and loneliness flashed in his eyes.
