Chapter 244: The Great Drama

"I wrote about him, but I didn't expect him to be a beauty. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Dimont laughed, "The last time I saw him, he was an abominable uncle. ”

Wang Yao pursed his lips and chuckled, and the whistles in the audience came and went.

"I'm really amazed that you are so beautiful. Di Meng looked at Wang Yao and said seriously.

"Seriously, I'm really a little embarrassed by that adjective. Wang Yao said shyly: "Let's get to the point." ”

"Yes, I still have a long way to learn about your beauty. "First of all, thank you and your troupe for bringing us this thrilling performance. ”

Wang Yao bent down and thanked, "I also want to thank my seniors for being able to bring me this performance to you." ”

Dimon was stunned and smiled, "I forgot, you are a child who is particularly obsessed with the motherland." ”

Wang Yao smiled, "Thanksgiving." ”

"Seriously, at the beginning of the scene, I believe we were all shocked. Dimon said seriously, "I want to ask, who wrote this play?"

"This is an old-timer in the opera industry, his name is Li Yu, and this play was created three hundred years ago. Wang Yao said in a deep voice.

The audience exploded again, and Dimon was stunned and blinked, "Are you sure? Three hundred years ago? ”

Wang Yao nodded, "That's right, it's three hundred years ago, and it's a same-sex theme." ”

"Oh my God, let me be amazed that someone could have written a script on this subject three hundred years ago?" ”

"Mr. Wang Yao, do you have any information to prove it?" an old foreigner stood up and asked.

Of course, he is also quite famous not only as a dramatist, but also as a lover of life. Wang Yao smiled, "If you are interested, I can provide some historical information about him." ”

"Kunqu opera is indeed beautiful, there is no doubt about it. Another old man stood up, "But I think this play is just as beautiful." ”

Wang Yao nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your favor." ”

"But there is one thing that I am a little curious about, that is, I don't know much about the ending, is it three people living together?" the old man continued.

"Yes. Wang Yao nodded, "The three of them live together." ”

"It's ridiculous. Someone exhaled softly.

"So this drama is not just a same-sex love story, right? The old man looked at Wang Yao with a calm gaze: "I have studied your Kunqu Opera's "Peony Pavilion", I originally thought that you would play that, it is also a great drama, but after hearing your explanation, I think this drama is also great. ”

Wang Yao bowed again: "Thank you for your favor." ”

Wang Yao only said that three people lived together, and the old man explained it clearly, which shows how simple it is to talk to smart people.

Opera is art, because it originates from life above life, and is based on reality and personified, and at first everyone thought that this play was a "Romeo and Juliet"-style theme of true love first, and the great charm of using love to dissolve everything.

But the three people end up living together, which can be said to deny that this is the theme of the supremacy of true love, because basic love is one-on-one, this is the law, and only a few examples may jump out of this law.

So this is a drama that reflects a certain era and phenomenon, and the characters in it are all a kind of anthropomorphism, and the most profound of them is Cui Jianyun's forbearance and Cao Yuhua's sacrifice for the sake of emaciation.

Forbearance and sacrifice are somewhat in conflict with Western values.

Because both of these words are inextricably linked to 'oppression', and the prevailing value in the West is anti-oppression.

But these two words can be explained by neutral words, which is intriguing, and several of these hundreds of viewers know more about Chinese history, so they can understand what is conveyed in this play.

But there are more viewers who can understand it, but they can't see through it, but they won't ask, they will only find the answer themselves.

What they need Wang Yao to explain is whether this play is whether the three of them will live together in the end, because this determines whether this play can be accepted by more people.

This is a question of some values that needs to be carefully explored, and this is a question of approaching the angle.

The superficial things expressed in this play have been understood by the audience through Wang Yao's performance, but for these professionals, the interests and expression of the drama itself are more important.

Cui Jianyun and Cao Yuhua's love fascinated them, as if it was the same love as "Romeo and Juliet", it was the same love at first sight, and it was the same desperate, which was equivalent to the same type of theme.

But after the interpretation of Chinese culture, the same story makes these Western audiences feel completely different, the similarity in the story is all the ancient masculinity represented by the male characters, but it is more gentle, not as tough as Romeo.

But the social problems at the time were not ambiguous at all, whether it was the male protagonist Fan Jiefu or Cao Yourong, including the officials who later represented the emperor's order, they all showed the Chinese male power of that era very intuitively, although the love of two women was allowed, but there was still a 'imperial order' and the name of two women serving a husband, which seemed to commend the greatness of love, but in fact it was still a kind of tolerance under male power.

In modern society, there has been an increasing number of disputes over the rights of men and women, so this issue is also a common topic all over the world in the next century, eliminating discrimination and equality between men and women, so the old man called this subject great.

Because an ancient person who lived in a society where male superiority and female inferiority were the norm more than 300 years ago, it was enough to show the greatness and wisdom of his predecessors that he could have this kind of problem of fighting for women's rights and reflecting the rights and interests of men and women.

And three people living together, this is actually a kind of happy ending in the context of the era of the story, but the drama must not be written to talk about the running account, there must be a reflection of the author's inner meaning.

Although they don't know about this sage Li Yu more than 300 years ago, they know from the fact that he can write this kind of subject matter that he is not a layman, so there must be a deeper core exploration in this.

This is a comedy, although Wang Yao's abuse, the core of the comedy is tragedy and irony, and after confirming the ending of the three people living together, they can find out what the author wants to express and reflect.

The love between Cui Jianyun and Cao Yuhua made them see what love is like in Chinese culture, Western culture is used to putting love and desire together, but this play allows them to experience another kind of love, love that separates love and desire, which is also hot and touching, and seems to be more pure and noble.

But in the final ending, the three of them lived together, and many people had ideas in their hearts, thinking that this was a mockery of the politics and male power of the time, and some people thought that it was a mockery of the assertion of women's status and male power, in short, this play aroused their greater interest.

The show was a success, just waiting to be announced like the world.

Kunqu Opera will become the first intangible cultural anomaly in Chinese culture to be recognized by the world, and it will also become the wealth of the entire human race in the future.

For these Western art researchers, opera has brought another dawn to their already somewhat boring careers, allowing them to study another strange and interesting culture in the future.

Although I knew that Chinese culture has a long history, no one wanted to understand it, because Westerners felt that art was worthless if it couldn't go abroad, but this performance really subverted their ideas.

For more foreigners who are about to see the news, the impression of China will be added to the labels of long braids, long coats, kung fu, and Bruce Lee.

After explaining the doubts of these audiences, Wang Yao returned backstage to prepare to remove his makeup, He Saifei and the others had already taken off their makeup and were lying on the sofa to recover their strength, after all, the three-hour performance was still very tiring.

"Wang Yao. The cotton pad in Wang Yao's hand had not yet soaked, and was interrupted by a voice behind him.

Silently sighed, turned to look at Dimon, and stood up, "Mr. Dimon." ”

"This lady has a strong urge to see you. Dimon smiled as he introduced a white gentleman behind him.

This gentleman has a scholarly atmosphere that Wang Yao is familiar with, her figure is a little thin but she looks straight in a suit, her medium-length curly hair looks particularly elegant, and the corners of her eyes are a little wrinkled, but she smiled gently, stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang Yao, excuse me, you can call me Judith." ”

This gentleman was not an ordinary person at first glance, and Wang Yao gave a kiss on the hand, "Hello, Ms. Judith." ”

"Ms. Judith is a Ph.D. from Yale University, specializing in women's studies, and is influential in our country. Dumont smiled and said, "She's as fascinated by your performance as I do, and she's very interested in the play." ”

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, specializing in women's research, this identity is still rare in the Dragon Kingdom, but he can probably guess her purpose" Ms. Judith is not confused. ”

Judith smiled and glanced at the other actors backstage, "It won't bother." ”

"It's fine. Wang Yao smiled: "I have to clean up for a while." ”

"Excuse me, I'll make a long story short. Judith smiled and nodded, "The first one is curious, how do you play a woman so well, to be honest, even I don't see the slightest problem." ”

Wang Yao blinked, "This, it can be regarded as some performance skills in our opera, my kind of reverse string in the opera has a history of nearly a thousand years, so it is a very mature set of performance skills." ”

"The technique is profound, but there will still be traces, but your performance, I really seem to see a real woman, mature, restrained, but sensual woman. Judith narrowed her eyes slightly, the expression on her face intoxicated.

Wang Yao pursed the corners of his lips and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know, that's how I acted." ”

"I believe that if I hadn't studied for a long time, I wouldn't have performed so perfectly. Judith laughed.

"It did take a bit of thought, in addition to reading the script, I also read a lot of other women's books of the same era, and then sorted out the characters, but there may still be some flaws. Wang Yao said modestly.

"You're such a humble actor. Judith smiled, "So, can you give me some advice on Cui Jianyun's view of love." ”

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Suggestion?"
