188 Rehearsal of "Swimming in the Lake"
Cheng Xiaolou is very strict when teaching drama, especially for "The Legend of the White Snake", which he values very much.
After letting Duan Lanquan and Mei Lang walk for five minutes, he said without stopping: "Okay, it's good to walk in a good way, now change Yunbu! Yunbu will be used in the first fold of "Swimming in the Lake", Yunbu should walk cleanly, don't wriggle like a worm on the stage when the time comes." ”
"Mei Lang, bring your feet together a little more, don't be too separated!"
"Okay Boss Cheng. ”
The latter agreed, and hurriedly and cautiously continued to walk according to Cheng Xiaolou's request.
The essence of Yunbu is to put the feet together, first the heels apart, the toes are opposite the toes, and then the heels are opposite, and the heels are opposite, and the body is moved sideways to the left and right. When to the left, the right foot is the point of focus, and when to the right, the left foot is the point of focus.
"Don't tighten your feet, senior brother, your legs should be relaxed. ”
"If it doesn't work once, go twice, if it doesn't work twice, go ten times, if it doesn't work ten times, then go a hundred times! One minute on stage, ten years of work off the stage, if you want to sing "The Legend of the White Snake" well, the basic skills must be solid. It's still the old rule, walk for five minutes, and remember that the movements must be standard!"
After Cheng Xiaolou corrected the two small details of Mei Lang and Duan Lanquan, he took the ring ruler and stared at the two of them moving sideways like crabs without blinking.
When walking in the clouds, he not only stared at the lower half of the two of them, but also asked them to lift their upper bodies vigorously, and there must not be the slightest sway.
"Don't shrug your shoulders, let alone shake!"
Mei Lang's body relaxed, his shoulders shook, and before he could react, the ring ruler in Cheng Xiaolou's hand hit him the shoulder, and the latter grinned in pain, and he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.
first walked for five minutes, and then walked for five minutes, Rao is Meilang and Duan Lanquan were both from elementary school, and their legs were also a little weak at this time.
Without waiting for the two of them to breathe a sigh of relief, Cheng Xiaolou let them walk again.
Boat steps are also the first fold of "The Legend of the White Snake" "Swimming in the Lake" to use the basic skills, White Snake Xiaoqing and Xu Xian met in the West Lake, it was raining, the three of them sat in the same boat, at this time the main basic skills used are boat steps.
When the two practiced the boat according to his requirements, Cheng Xiaolou continued to explain: "The play "The Legend of the White Snake" is much more difficult than you imagined, the plot of this play is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and the requirements for performance skills are very high. ”
White Snake Bai Suzhen from love at first sight when "swimming in the lake", to being drunk for love when "wine changes", to the love-hate intersection in "Broken Bridge", to the soft intestines when "Bowl", plus the start of "stealing fairy grass" and "water bucket", not only requires us to perform layer by layer, but also has the ability to resist the chaos of civil and military Kun. ”
"This big drama is also a big challenge to the physical strength of our performers, after a period of earth-shaking "water bucket" starts, it is the "broken bridge" reunion of a large section of the singing, so don't think that my requirements are too high, when the rehearsal officially starts in a while, you will know why I have such high requirements for you. ”
After inspecting several of their basic skills in a row, more than half an hour passed, and Mei Lang and Duan Lanquan's foreheads were slightly sweaty.
"Senior brother, you take a rest next to you first, Mei Lang, you put on the curtain, and we will officially start the first "Swimming in the Lake" now. ”
Cheng Xiaolou put on a white curtain by himself, and pointed to the cyan curtain on the clothes rack next to him and said.
"Okay, I'll change it right away. ”
As soon as the latter heard that the official rehearsal was about to begin, he was surprised, happy and afraid, so he was busy and changed his clothes according to Cheng Xiaolou's requirements.
Before he came, he never thought that Boss Cheng, who was a few years younger than him, would be so strict when he rehearsed again.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as strictly outrageous.
Even when he was a child learning from his master, the master's requirements were never so strict.
"No wonder Boss Cheng can become a hot first-line big player in the pear orchard industry at such a young age, with countless followers, not to mention anything else, just because of his seriousness in Peking Opera, few people can compare. ”
With the in-depth contact with Cheng Xiaolou, Mei Lang became more and more convinced.
Cheng Xiaolou is not only strict with them, but also has higher requirements for himself.
is also walking in the clouds, he walked out stunned to give people a sense of flowing water and pleasing to the eye, even if it looks at it, it will make people very comfortable.
"The fold of "Swimming in the Lake" is both simple and difficult, and the general content has just been said, so I will not repeat it here. Now I'll talk about the lyrics first, you have to memorize them carefully, you can remember as much as you can, you have also sung opera for so many years, you must know that silent drama is also a very important basic skill. ”
"If you can't even remember the lyrics, how can you talk about going on stage, don't you say?"
After changing his clothes, Cheng Xiaolou smiled and signaled him not to be too nervous, and continued before the formal rehearsal.
"Boss Cheng is right, don't worry, I will memorize the words in the shortest possible time. ”
Mei Lang nodded vigorously.
"Forget it, I'll go through the lyrics of the White Snake and the Green Snake in the whole way, Senior Brother, you are also listening carefully next to you. ”
Cheng Xiaolou thought about it, and decided to sing it first so that the two of them could find their feelings, which might help them understand better.
"Good!"
Duan Lanquan agreed, and quickly surrounded him.
"Mei Lang, pay attention to my movements, eyebrows, eyes, and demeanor. The first to appear is your role as the Green Snake. ”
Cheng Xiaolou told Mei Lang, and in the next second, he instantly turned into a cute and cute girl, walked a few steps in place briskly, and then pinched the orchid finger and made a few charming appearances, with joy between his eyebrows and eyes.
Coming to the picturesque West Lake, the green snake was very happy to see such a fairyland on earth, revealing the little girl's heart. Mei Lang, you must figure out the character and image of the green snake. ”
Cheng Xiaolou explained while doing it, from going on the field to waving to the white snake behind him, just a few steps, a few simple actions, he portrayed the image of the green snake into three points, and Mei Lang admired it.
As the saying goes, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one, Mei Lang asked himself if he also played the role of the green snake, and with just a few steps and a few actions in the opening, it would be difficult for him to reach the realm of Cheng Xiaolou.
"I always thought that Boss Cheng could quickly become famous in the pear orchard world, because of more than half of the luck component, and with the help of nobles. Hehe, I'm really a frog at the bottom of the well, I saw Boss Cheng's skills with my own eyes today, and I realized that I was still too superficial before. ”
Mei Lang carefully observed Cheng Xiaolou's every movement without blinking, but he was laughing at himself in his heart.
In the past, he always felt that his opera singing was good, and his basic skills were also solid, but after seeing Cheng Xiaolou's attitude towards Peking Opera and his Peking Opera attainments, he knew that he used to be a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky.
