Chapter 167: The Great West Chamber
"A round of bright moon shines on the West Chamber, and the twenty-eight beauties are warblers and matchmakers. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info invited Zhang Sheng to the banquet, and no one jumped over the flower wall......" After glancing at the music score, He Xiangdong raised his head in surprise and said, "This is the West Chamber?"
Zhang Wenhai nodded, very excited: "Yes, this is the Great West Chamber, the track of ten non-idle lotus flowers." ”
The West Chamber tells the story of the scholar Zhang Junrui and the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, Cui Yingying, from the Yuan Dynasty miscellaneous playwright, Wang Shifu, who has been widely sung since the Yuan Dynasty.
The story is very simple, Zhang Junrui and Cui Yingying met in the Universal Rescue Temple, Zhang Junrui saved Yingying, and the two secretly promised for life, but they were opposed by Cui Yingying's mother, Mrs. Xiangfu, and the two were forced to become brothers and sisters.
The latter two often have private meetings, and after torturing the maid matchmaker, the old lady found out about this, but because of the view of the door, Zhang Junrui was required to take the test to get fame in order to marry Yingying, and there was a Shili Pavilion farewell.
In the end, it was naturally Zhang Junrui's champion who returned and married Yingying, as for Zheng Huan, who has been acting as a-stirring stick in the story, don't mention it.
"The Legend of the West Chamber" was originally a script written for the New Year's Day miscellaneous drama, and with the development and maturity of other operas in later generations, they also have their own art forms to interpret the West Chamber.
Kunqu Opera, Yue Opera, Peking Opera, Jingyun Drum and the Northeast Duo Zhuan have all adapted and sung this story, and the traditional opera has also sung the West Chamber, but because there are not many music cards that can be used for this story, there are repertoire of the West Chamber, but there are too many lost ones.
Even the art of Ten Lotus Blossoms is about to be lost, let alone some of the tracks.
Fan Wenquan and Zhang Wenhai have been tidying up for several months before, and they have stayed up several all-nighters during this period of time, and the two old men's bodies are almost weak, but their spirits are very excited, and they asked: "Dongzi, you quickly sing two sentences of the West Chamber for us first, this word was changed by us, how about you sing and see how it tastes?"
Zhang Wenhai's eyes were red, but he also looked at the eyes of hope, if it was only about Liu Huo'er, He Xiangdong would definitely crush all of them.
He Xiangdong is also a little excited, he knows the music card best, although there is no gong, drum and cymbal soundtrack, but his eyes are in his heart, after a little pause, he opened his mouth and sang: "A round of bright moon shines on the West Chamber, and the twenty-eight beauties are the red lady." Third, Zhang Sheng was invited to the banquet, and no one jumped over the flower wall. Mrs. Wugu knew the letter, and the six-flowered board tortured the warbler to interrogate the little red lady......"
Zhang Wenhai and Fan Wenquan showed extremely enjoyable expressions at the same time, and they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts when they looked at each other, no matter how carefully prepared the repertoire, if it couldn't fall into the hands of a good singer, it would only be a pearl covered with dust, and He Xiangdong definitely sang the taste.
The big west chamber is on the verge of being lost, but there is still the big west chamber in the two, and it is still performing in the northeast, and the words at the beginning are similar, but the music cards are different.
After singing this paragraph, He Xiangdong continued to look down, and the next thing was the song card of the four joys, the original words in the four joys were Fulu Shouxi, and the current music cards have not changed, but the words are made into the West Chamber.
"My sister is embroidering sachets in the room, embroidering all kinds of people in the West Chamber, this side is embroidered by Miss Cui, and that side is embroidered by Zhang Xiucai. Beans and beans choke. He Xiangdong didn't continue to sing, but just sang a sentence with Fa Sixi, and then raised his head and said in surprise: "Wow, it's really good, it's so suitable to sing the West Chamber with the song card of Fa Sixi." ”
Zhang Wenhai also nodded, and Lao Huai said with great relief: "Yes, when the old gentlemen performed at the cross talk conference in the past, they would sing the opening of the Ten Lotus Falls, but now no one sings them, and even the art of Ten Idle Lotus Falls is about to be lost." ”
Fan Wenquan took over the conversation and said: "So, Lao Zhang and I feel that since we have resumed the traditional cross talk performance, we should also add Door Liu'er, so the two of us have rearranged the big west chamber in the Ten Idle Lotus Falls, which can be regarded as one more thing that can be sung." ”
He Xiangdong didn't answer immediately, but looked down very seriously, some of the music cards in the Ten Idle Lotus Fall are more suitable for singing the big west chamber, just like the next slap, shelf song, and Taiping Year are all very suitable, Zhang Wenhai and Fan Wenquan The two old gentlemen also sorted out the west chamber of this music card. The Taiping Year mentioned here is the music card in the lotus fall, not the music card in the single string.
He Xiangdong finished reading all the lyrics and songs on the paper, and sang them silently in his heart, he really admired these two old gentlemen, they were both old, and they worked tirelessly to sort out the big west chamber where the ten idle lotus flowers fell, which was amazing.
He Xiangdong picked up the pile of paper with both hands, and sincerely admired the two old gentlemen and said: "You two are tired, this big west chamber is very good." In addition, the Ten Mile Pavilion in the Lotus Fall is also singing in the Great West Chamber, can this be added?"
Zhang Wenhai frowned and asked rhetorically, "Will you?"
He Xiangdong nodded and said: "I will, I have learned the Shili Pavilion where the lotus flower falls, in the past, the artists first sang the Su Da Cavity at the beginning, and the five watches sung by the Shili Pavilion, and then sang the old lady angrily, scolding the little matchmaker, there are about a dozen sentences." Further down is the shelf song and the peaceful year. ”
Hearing this, Fan Wenquan also nodded and said: "Okay, you write down the lyrics when the time comes, let's see if we can add it, the big west chamber is a complete story, and there should be a complete context after the song card is sung." ”
Zhang Wenhai shook his head and vetoed: "I don't think so, first of all, everyone knows the story of the West Chamber, it is widely circulated, and there are many opera arts, but there are really not many suitable music cards in traditional opera, and it is a little difficult to sing the whole story if you ask for it." ”
"There is also a time limit for our performances, if we spend too much time on Men Liuer, what about the cross talk in the back, it should be made into the kind that can be sung neatly or pinched. ”
He Xiangdong and Fan Wenquan thought for a while, nodded their heads, and agreed with Zhang Wenhai's statement.
After a pause, He Xiangdong said again: "Actually, there are some music cards suitable for singing the West Chamber, but they are not the music cards in the Ten Idle Lotus Fall." ”
After Zhang Wenhai and Fan Wenquan glanced at each other, Zhang Wenhai immediately looked at He Xiangdong and said: "It's okay, you just say, we are not so rigid, we have made the big west chamber to be used as a door willow, the more perfect it is, of course, the better, maybe this play can become a reserved track for us to the literary society." ”
He Xiangdong also smiled: "That's good, in terms of repertoire, how about you two take care of the flower platform?" (To be continued.) )
