Chapter 51: Boot up
Gan Jing's mood is not good or bad, but it is a little complicated.
As a young man, he didn't have any feelings about Peking Opera before, but he became interested in the acting experience of Farewell My Concubine in the Overlord, and until now, the only part he can call singing is Yu Ji.
The senior brother who sang when he left today hadn't been taught, but he read it on the disc and thought it was very good, so he took the opportunity to write it down.
This is a passage from the Peking Opera classic "Ganlu Temple", which talks about the three brothers of Liu Bei, and it is especially happy after a long paragraph.
Gan Jing's singing actually made a lot of mistakes, he just sang according to his own understanding, fortunately, there are no professionals, and it is particularly exquisite.
encountered such an incident, Gan Jing simply finished visiting the Forbidden City and went straight to Master Tan Yuan's house.
"Master, I met a foreigner. I entered the courtyard and greeted all the way until I saw the old man sitting on a bamboo chair.
Tan Yuan was squinting at the practice of his apprentice's grandchildren, and when he saw the registered disciple coming in a hurry, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?
"Well, there is. Ah no, I'm not talking about that. Gan Jing mentioned to the master on the phone that he played Mei Lanfang, "I went to visit the Forbidden City today, and a foreigner said that our Chinese cultural heritage is gone, and I said that there is Peking Opera, and he said that no one will watch it and no one will learn it!"
When he was outside, Gan Jing could sing that paragraph by himself to prove that he was learning Peking Opera, and he was also a little puzzled when facing his master and this master who had sung Peking Opera all his life.
On weekdays, in Yangcheng, he really didn't see anyone who liked to listen to Peking Opera.
This is true in Yangcheng, but what about other cities?
Tan Yuan heard the apprentice say such a thing, his squinted eyes gradually opened, he helped a bamboo chair, and sat up slightly: "Look." ”
Gan Jing was a little puzzled and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Tan Yuan, who had white hair, waved his finger and pointed to the courtyard, pointed to the disciples and grandchildren in the courtyard, and said, "Look at these children who are learning Peking Opera." ”
Gan Jing thought of the brothers who were in Yangcheng to promote Peking Opera.
Tan Yuan withdrew his hand and said a little lonely: "Peking Opera has not been broken, but it is also a fact that young people are watching less and less and learning less and less. ”
"What then?" asked Gan Jing a little anxiously.
"That's your business. Tan Yuan suddenly smiled, "Your senior brother Tan Shan is working hard, your junior brother Shang Xiaorong is working hard, and your junior sister Tan Shan is working hard." ”
"Anyway, they're trying. Whether Peking Opera can be passed on or not is already a matter of your generation. I've done what I had to do. Tan Yuan said very open-mindedly.
"Maybe Peking Opera needs to keep up with the pace of the times and change, this is all something that you need to discuss. He stroked his beard and said, "Let's stay for dinner today and meet your brothers." ”
This is Tan Yuan who took the initiative to ask Gan Jing to stay for dinner, and he didn't say this last time he came to visit.
This night, Tan Yuan talked very much, said a lot of things about Peking Opera, and also said a lot of his thoughts.
This night, Gan Jing listened a lot, and he had a lot of respect for the master who was also worried but still open-minded and optimistic.
……
"Let me introduce, this is Wu Gang, playing Second Master Fei. ”
"Second Master Fei, this is a newcomer, called Gan Jing, take care of this kid more. ”
"Gotcha. ”
Unexpectedly, after the actor was decided, the crew was quickly set up.
Many scenes of Mei Lanfang's movie were filmed in Beijing, and some actors who were already in Beijing soon came to report, and Wu Gang was one of them.
He is a native of Beijing, graduated from the Beijing People's Art Theater, and has participated in many performances, and his acting skills are very good.
It's just that, looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, this is a newcomer?
Gan Jing looked at him, and stretched out his right hand with some curiosity: "Second Master Fei, give me a lot of advice." "Second Master Fei is the role played by Wu Gang in the play, and there are not many scenes.
Wu Gang smiled and said humbly: "Don't dare, don't dare." Learn from each other. ”
Gan Jing nodded, looking at the busy people in the crew curiously, and wondered, what are you busy with......?
Wu Gang saw the newcomer's doubts and explained: "This is the whole start-up ceremony, worship God for good luck, and also gather the whole group to mobilize." ”
Gan Jing suddenly realized, no wonder he saw a long table over there, covered with a red cloth.
"Will everybody come?" Gan Jing really didn't know anything about this.
"Almost, the main actors will arrive. Wu Gang said, "It's also a politeness." ”
Gan Jing swept and found several familiar faces, Sun Honglei and Yingda......
He was a little excited, thinking that he would ask for an autograph later.
"Everyone is here, they're all here. Chen Kaige suddenly clapped his hands and shouted loudly, "The boot ceremony begins!"
The people who were originally busy suddenly put down their work and gathered towards Director Chen, and Gan Jing was also pulled by Wu Gang to go there.
Wu Gang really regarded this guy as a newcomer, and only thought that this was a person who played a supporting role like himself - but he was a newcomer with a relationship, and when he was first introduced, it was Director Chen who came to introduce him.
"Everyone is an acquaintance, so I won't introduce them one by one. Zhang Ziyi was still filming over there, and she joined the group in a few days. Chen Kaige grabbed an electronic loudspeaker out of nowhere, and the sound was very loud.
"Goodbye to Second Master Guan, the startup went smoothly. Chen Kaige had words in his mouth, beckoning everyone to stand up, and just wanted to turn around and prepare to worship God, when he suddenly felt that something was missing.
He turned his head to look, and Gan Jing looked at the excitement as if he was standing in the corner and chatting with Wu Gang.
Chen Kaige frowned, stretched out his hand at Gan Jing and said, "Gan Jing, come here." ”
Gan Jing was stunned for a moment, walked out, and heard Chen Kaige say: "Everyone else is very familiar, so I won't introduce them." This is the newcomer Gan Jing, who plays Mei Lanfang. ”
There have been rumors before that Dawn was squeezed out, some say newcomers, some talk about another superstar.
It's just that the words in the entertainment industry are half-truths and half-truths, and many things in the ups and downs are just listened to and can't be taken seriously.
At first, these people thought that Liming, like Zhang Ziyi, had no time to come over, and they waited a few days before joining the group, but they didn't expect that they were really replaced!
Among them, Wu Gang, who was chatting with Gan Jing just now, was the most surprised, what kind of newcomer is this?
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Gan Jing differently.
Gan Jing was pulled to his side by Chen Kaige and stopped, feeling the gaze of others a little awkwardly, and smiled at Sun Honglei and Chen Hong next to him humbly.
Chen Kaige didn't care so much, he didn't announce the news before to protect Gan Jing, a newcomer, but now that he is on the set, he has to bear it himself.
"It's good to go!" he shouted.
"It's good to go!" the others shouted.
Gan Jing shouted in a daze, unaware that his first day of acting had begun.
