Chapter Seventy-One: Relationships

Wang Yao feels that innovation is not to jump out of a circle, but to draw this circle bigger and accommodate more people, so that it can be based on tradition and better innovation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If innovation is detached from tradition, innovation is meaningless, and it is called pioneering.

Wang Yao's "The Legend of Wu Xun" from a professional point of view, in addition to the singing and soundtrack in line with the traditional Yue Opera, is somewhat contrary to the traditional Yue Opera in terms of appearance.

After the performance, after the Hundred Flowers Troupe accepted the congratulations of their peers, several masters stayed to talk to Wang Yao.

"Will people confuse Yue Opera with opera and drama?" Jin Caifeng asked a question.

The makeup on Wang Yao's face has not been taken off yet, because he is playing a beggar, his white and tender skin can only be darkened and rough by means of makeup.

He Saifei took a makeup remover to remove Wang Yao's makeup, Wang Yao sat on a chair and listened to the lectures of several masters, and said with a smile, "Why can't it be an opera, a drama like our Yue Opera?"

Everyone was stunned, Xu Feng flipped through the script, and suddenly smiled, "Don't fool." ”

Wang Yao smiled, "Actually, I know your concerns, but the performances on the stage, in terms of form, are all the same thing, the only difference is the particularity of each, just like the language, can you speak Mandarin better than dialects?"

Xu Yulan raised her eyebrows, showed a smile, and glanced at the sisters, "Is it because we are inferior?"

"Uncle Shi, don't run on me. Wang Yao showed 'shyness' on his face, "As long as the core of our Yue Opera is there, then the change in form is insignificant." ”

Jin Caifeng nodded, "The truth is this, but Xiao Yao, I have to say, you are because you are not good at basic skills, how can you make the shape and watch so simple?

"Isn't this beautiful?" Wang Yao chuckled and raised his hand to pinch He Saifei's chin.

"Hey, hey, don't you want to die?" He Saifei, who was concentrating on removing Wang Yao's makeup, was suddenly teased and slapped Wang Yao's head angrily.

The crowd chuckled.

"This play is a popular version, a model play, and I think I will practice for new guys in the future, from shallow to deep. Wang Yao paused, "In addition, my play is going to be performed for college students, they are all 0 basic for opera, I made up the shape and table like "Fan Li and Xi Shi", don't those students all fall asleep?"

Xu Yulan and the others nodded in unison, "It seems that there will be this possibility, we don't know much about young people now, you know better." ”

"What do you think of my speaking device?" Wang Yao said with a smile.

"Didn't pay attention. Xie Ying said with a smile.

Wang Yao frowned.

"Lie to you. Zhang Guifeng chuckled, "That teleprompter works very well, otherwise we really can't hear what you're saying when you're playing Allegro." ”

"And you let it go too far on stage, and you played Xiaosheng as a harlequin. Xu Yulan said with a smile.

"There's no way, the tone is set on being funny, and I still dislike the senior sisters for not letting go. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"This book is really good. Everyone laughed for a while, Xu Yulan looked at Wang Yao and said seriously, "It's hard to imagine that this book was written by a child who has just entered the industry." ”

"I didn't write it, I hired a master. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"When are you going to officially start?" Jin Caifeng smiled.

"The day after tomorrow, it's just a school anniversary. Xu Feng said that Xu Feng has a great prestige in the education world, and major universities will give face.

"We're going to cheer you on when the time comes. Jin Caifeng said with a smile.

"Don't, don't take the student's place. Wang Yao laughed.

"You've just been so rampant, boy, you're not a horn yet. Zhang Guifeng joked with a smile.

These old ladies are really happy today, crying and laughing at Wang Yao's performance, as if they saw themselves at the beginning, and at the same time saw hope.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Yao couldn't bear to let these old people see their embarrassed side, because he had to prepare for the worst, which was to be cheered or coaxed by those peers.

Wang Yao didn't care, he was afraid that these old people would be discouraged.

Sending the old people away to dinner, Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the backstage, leaving He Saifei and Mao Weitao alone packing up.

Wang Yao sat on the head box, and He Saifeijiao shouted, and slapped Wang Yao with the feather duster in his hand, "Don't sit on the line, if you were in the past, you would definitely have to be beaten to death by the master." ”

Wang Yao smiled, squatted and opened the wooden box, the phoenix crown and the costume contained in it had a strange mixture of rouge and sweat, and frowned, "How many years has this thing not been washed?"

"I don't know if the costume can't be washed?" Mao Weitao walked over and pushed Wang Yao's head, folding the top costume, "The things nailed on it, as well as the silk threads, are all handed down by the masters, and they are easy to wash off as soon as they are washed." ”

"It tastes too big. Wang Yao chuckled.

"These big guys don't use them very often now, and now they're all freshly made, and they're all antiques. Mao Weitao covered the wooden box and went to sweep the ground. ”

Wang Yao took a broom and swept the makeup remover on the ground, "Why didn't you make a new set for these big guys?"

"This one is a few thousand, how can there be money in the group. He Saifei rolled his eyes at Wang Yao.

"The troupe is struggling, if you can make do with it, you think it's easy to feed a troupe of 100 people. Mao Weitao also smiled, "Besides, in the past, old gentlemen all came over like this, and it is normal to wear a piece of clothing for decades." ”

Wang Yao pursed his lips, "The times are advancing. ”

"Money. He Saifei stretched out his little hand coquettishly.

"Hurt feelings in advance. Wang Yao smiled and touched his nose, "By the way, senior sister, what about going to the European Art Festival?" Wang Yao suddenly remembered.

Mao Weitao's body stiffened, "Li Zhuo, they will go for us." ”

"Didn't you give some compensation?" Wang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gave us four tickets, at public expense. Mao Weitao smiled, "I'm too lazy to go, I'm just busy with you." ”

"Go, why don't you go. Wang Yao raised his eyebrows, "Don't go to travel at public expense?"

"Get down to business. He Saifei glared at Wang Yao.

Wang Yao smiled, "I haven't been abroad yet, is it too late?"

"Depends on how long you're going to act, eight days from now. Mao Weitao said with a smile.

"It should be enough. Wang Yao touched his chin.

"Are you a little worried?" He Saifei glanced at Wang Yao and chuckled.

Mao Weitao also looked at Wang Yao.

"Of course, my first public performance, if I smash the scene, how embarrassing it will be. Wang Yao chuckled, his expression a little stiff.

"Take it easy. He Saifei held Wang Yao's cheek and rubbed it, "With me and Mao Mao with you, if you smash it, you will also smash us." ”

Wang Yao smiled: "I'm the protagonist." ”

He Saifei glared at Wang Yao, "What's the matter?"

Wang Yao hurriedly confessed.

Xu Feng invited guests to charter a big restaurant, and ate until midnight before bulk goods, Wang Yao returned to his new home on Hefang Street, and Hu Congwu and Jin Wensheng were still sorting out the books.

"How's the performance?" Seeing that Wang Yao was back, Jin Wensheng asked with a smile.

"It was a success, and the audience cried. Wang Yao grinned.

"That's fine. Jin Wensheng patted Wang Yao's shoulder and said with a smile: "But tomorrow will definitely not have such an effect." ”

Wang Yao smiled.

"When I first debuted, I was a storyteller, and in the teahouse, I was also very sad to watch the guests in the audience walk one by one, one by one. Jin Wensheng smiled, "But don't worry, when the stage slowly adapts to you, you will be able to have a foothold, and you were rejected by the stage at the beginning." ”

Wang Yao frowned, "Stage?"

"Don't find fault with the audience, if there is a fault, it must be your own fault and that of the stage. Jin Wensheng laughed.

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"There are no gentlemen, no artists. This is an ancient saying, in ancient times, dignitaries and nobles liked things, so they would raise opera troupes at home, but now it is different, you have to train gentlemen, and your craftsmanship can make others applaud. Jin Wensheng smiled, "It's a bit vulgar, taking money from other people's pockets is the most difficult thing in the world." ”

Wang Yao pursed his lips, "But I'm doing it for free." ”

"What is the purpose of your charity performance?" Jin Wensheng glanced at Wang Yao, "You can't always perform for charity performances, you still have to sell tickets in the end." ”

"That's the truth, but it's not because you want to make money. Wang Yao frowned and said.

"Nobody cares about where you start, they only care if your ticket price is worth it. Jin Wensheng said, "Because money is a big thing, I can't explain it clearly, you want to save the opera, not to make a lot of money, but these have nothing to do with the audience." ”

Wang Yao nodded thoughtfully: "Mine still has to think about it." ”

Seeing Wang Yao return to the room in a daze, Jin Wensheng smiled and returned to his position, and said with Hu Congwu, "My apprentice is good at everything, but he is naïve." ”

Hu Congwu stroked his beard, "Only with a pure heart can you achieve great things." ”

"But the heart of a child is also the easiest to be crushed, the reality is cruel. Jin Wensheng sighed.

Jin Wensheng said this to Wang Yao in order to divert Wang Yao's attention and let him not have too much pressure, because he knew that it was the first time he was on stage, but he was still shouldering such a big mission, which was indeed a bit cruel for a seventeen-year-old child.

Although Wang Yao looks mature and steady, and does things tightly, in fact, Wang Yao has not experienced what real reality is, and Jin Wensheng is very afraid that some small storms will make Wang Yao lose confidence.

Wang Yao went back to the room and took a shower, lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep deeply, just thinking about Jin Wensheng and talking about things.

The relationship between the stage, the artist and the audience.

It is the stage that cooperates with the artist, and the presentation satisfies the audience.

Or the audience cooperates with the stage and allows the artist to present himself.

This is a question, Wang Yao has to think about it well and seriously.
