Chapter 49: Shocking Performance
"Yezi, are you okay?" Before the rehearsal began, Zhou Bai found Liu Ye, and when he saw that the child's current state was not right, he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Liu Ye gave Zhou Bai a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous." ”
Zhou Bai looked at Liu Ye's somewhat pale face at this time, and he almost didn't know what to say, seeing that he was still wiping a cold sweat, he couldn't help but think helplessly: How can this product have a trace of the demeanor of the actor in the future, it is completely a rookie who was stunned.
"Yezi, nervousness is inevitable, but now it's just a rehearsal, just do what you have to do, where is the courage to practice your lines in the rehearsal homework and crowd a few days ago, don't have too many ideas, the more you think about it, the more nervous you will be. Zhou Bai patted Liu Ye's shoulder and comforted.
"Hmm!" Liu Ye nodded fiercely, stopped talking, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
Zhou Bai will inevitably be a little worried, it is still a rehearsal, and tomorrow night's official performance will be a big test for Liu Ye.
The stage layout is not too flashy, because everything is provided by the school, from props to costumes, and even makeup utensils, and these things are relatively simple, and the school also has to consider the problem of funding, after all, props can sometimes break.
Zhou Bai saw that Chang Li had already arrived in the audience and sat down, he walked over to say hello and chatted a few words before walking away, the rehearsal of the show was about to take place, and he also had to go backstage to help.
said that it is a show, but it is actually quite complicated, and the props used are different, which is related to the different programs that everyone chooses, such as Hu Yu's dance, Cao Jun's bodybuilding show does not use many props, but the sketches need to use props.
There are also costumes for the actors, which must be prepared one by one, so as not to make mistakes during the show.
For example, if Qin Hailu wants to sing "Mu Guiying is in charge", he can't even have a big backing, he must have a gun, at least the sense of ceremony will be much worse.
Choosing to sing Peking Opera, the actor's suitcase, helmet box, and box are really impossible to solve without help.
But this is a rehearsal, the costume is good to wear, but there is no makeup, the main reason is that it is too troublesome and annoying, Zhou Bai saw Zeng Li wearing a costume without makeup, and laughed at her for a while.
As time went by, the rehearsal soon began, and Liu Ye was still very nervous when he came to the stage to announce the curtain, but although he was a little stumbling, he finally finished his speech smoothly, and it should have been adjusted.
Niu Qingfeng and Chen Minghao both sing pop songs, but Chen Minghao plays and sings by himself, and the performance is very exciting.
Zhang Tong, as a class flower, and is also a literary soldier of the army, can be called versatile, and the song "Night of the Military Port" is sung very beautifully, and even Chang Li can't help nodding below.
Mei Ting also came out of the army, and the song she chose was "Honghu Water Waves Hitting the Waves", a song that had appeared in 1959, was sung by her eloquently, making people seem to be able to see the Honghu Lotus Sea, which is extremely vivid.
Looking at the performances of his classmates, Zhou Bai will inevitably feel a little pressure, everyone is extremely good, and he doesn't want to perform too badly
"Below, please enjoy the excerpt from the Peking Opera "The Legend of the White Snake" brought by Zeng Li, the 96 performance class, 'Qingmei slowly lifts the Longquan Sword'. As Liu Ye reported the curtain, Zeng Li, who was standing next to Zhou Bai, smiled at him and went on stage.
"Qingmei slowly raised the Longquan sword, and his wife told you the truth. Your wife is not a mortal woman, and her wife is a snake fairy in Emei. ”
With the beginning of the accompaniment, as soon as Zeng Li spoke, Zhou Bai was stunned, this voice is definitely quite outstanding, worthy of learning Peking Opera since childhood, the professionalism of singing skills, the stability of the breath, this is the best Peking Opera Zhou Bai has ever heard.
Zeng Li's performance gave Zhou Bai a great shock, this is Zeng Li he has never known.
At this moment, Zeng Li, who was standing on the stage, although he did not wear makeup, only this one figure in Zhou Bai's eyes, was dazzling, and the aftermath was lingering.
Until Zeng Li finished singing and got off the stage, Zhou Bai did not come to his senses, he saw Zeng Li singing for the first time, and he was shocked by Zeng Li's energy that erupted on the stage, and Zeng Li, who was on the stage, seemed to be earth-shattering in his gestures.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you in a daze?" After Zeng Li stepped down, he couldn't help but ask in disgust when he saw Zhou Bai in a daze, and waved his hand a few times in front of Zhou Bai.
"Well, I'm still immersed in your performance, your performance is so wonderful, I didn't expect Peking Opera to be so charming. Zhou Bai shook his head and came back to his senses.
"Even if you know the goods, I haven't practiced for so many years, one minute on the stage, ten years on the stage, this is not just talking. Zeng Li wrinkled his nose and said to Zhou Bai, thinking of the suffering he had suffered from practicing at that time, and now he has palpitations.
"What you sang just now makes me feel different from the singing I usually hear, soft with rigidity, rigidity and softness, it's so good. Zhou Bai asked curiously, his understanding of Peking Opera is really shallow, because he has only recently had a little contact, the singing voice he heard before seems to be different from Zeng Li's singing.
"That's because you don't listen to much, I sing the singing voice of 'Cheng Pai', although I don't major in this, but I like this section of "The Legend of the White Snake" very much, and I specially learned this singing method, which can be regarded as a farewell to me at that time. Zeng Li said that this paragraph was a paragraph she particularly liked when she was a child, and choosing this paragraph was also an explanation of her past.
"In this case, it seems that I can study more when I have time in the future. I listened to your singing lyrics in "The Legend of the White Snake", which mentions Xu Xian and Xiaoqing, don't you want three people? Xiaoqing and Xu Xian are not played, will it have an impact?" Zhou Bai nodded thoughtfully, remembering the lyrics in it, and asked curiously.
"Yes, I actually know that there are three people in this paragraph, and it seems that they are listening carefully. In fact, it doesn't matter if there is or not, Xiaoqing and Xu Xian have no words in this paragraph, only actions, and it's very troublesome to put on makeup or something when performing, I don't bother to find someone to help me do those few actions, and people don't have room to perform. Zeng Li said.
The nine-minute performance of the excerpt "Qingmei Slowly Lifting the Longquan Sword" is all sung by the White Lady alone, and finding someone to play Xu Xian and Xiaoqing is simply using people as props.
What she said was true, "Qingmei slowly raised the Longquan sword, and his wife told you her true feelings", these fifteen words were sung for almost three minutes in a nine-minute performance, and the other lyrics went from slow to fast, and this excerpt didn't need anyone to play Xu Xian and Xiaoqing.
"How good it is for you to say it earlier, maybe I can make a cameo appearance as Xu Xian, if I don't have to sing, I won't expose the fact that I can't sing, just learn professional movements, so that I can also go up and make a debut, let me pretend to be a connoisseur." Zhou Bai made a joke, he didn't know such a good opportunity to pretend to be forced, it was a mistake.
"If you want to go up and be a prop, I have no opinion, I'll design a section for you next homework. Well, how about adding a harlequin for you?" Zeng Li said with a smile, thinking of Zhou Bai dressed up as a harlequin, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh there.
Zhou Bai has a black line, I am still willing to dress up as Xu Xian, how can I say that Xu Xian is also a handsome guy, otherwise the white lady will not look down on him?
What kind of thing is it to pretend to be a harlequin, hunched over, with 100% on his face, like a martial artist, he can't be killed even if he is killed.
Zhou Bai's performance was relatively late, so he still had a lot of time, and this time it was a rehearsal, he didn't have to prepare too much, the background music was ready, so he had enough time to talk and laugh with Zeng Li there.
He didn't notice that Yuan Xiang, who was preparing to perform in the distance backstage, saw him and Zeng Li talking and laughing there, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, and his eyes became gloomy.
