Chapter 42: The Opening Singing

Fang Wenqi said: "In the past, there would be an opening singing before the opening of cross talk, our jargon is called Door Liu'er, and the singing is generally a small tune, and most of the ten lotus flowers are not idle, today we will sing it to everyone, you have a lot of praise." ”

Ten is not idle is a kind of folk rap art, originated from the Fengyang flower drum, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty has been very popular in Beijing, Jiaqing 14 years of the book "A String of Grass Beads" recorded: "Naughty people can break the wine face, regardless of origin and Jingman." Now the juggling is in the wind, and there is no leisure everywhere. ”

Shi Bu Xian is actually the name of a musical instrument, that is, percussion instruments such as gongs, drums, and cymbals are placed on a shelf to sing ten Bu Xian repertoire.

So why use ten not idle to name this rap art, there are two sayings, the first is that the ten not idle lotus road artist "grab the bun Zhao" believes that in the initial singing of ten not idle, one person played ten is not idle, one person plays the drum, one person plays cymbals, four people play the horns, three people play the harlequin, ten people are not idle, called ten is not idle.

However, scholar Zhang Cixi has a different view, he believes that the instrument of Shi Buxian is a gong and drum cymbal placed on a wooden shelf, and one person plays with a belt, and two drum hammers are also held in his left hand to beat a single skin and a big drum. Pull the rope with the right hand, knock on the small gong and the small cymbal, and tie the rope of the big cymbal to the ground, control it with your feet, and sing songs in your mouth, saying that it is very busy, so it is called ten not idle.

Lotus Fall is very similar to Shi Bu Xian because of the art form of rap, and later after the two sides slowly came into contact, they gradually converged, called Shi Bu Xian Lotus Luo, which is also the predecessor of Ping Opera. When the Ten Idle Lotus Falls in the performance, there is also an opening small singing, generally singing the Ten Idle repertoire "Four Joys", "Eight Palms", "Frame Song" and the like, and then singing the Lotus Falling tracks.

This art form has also been borrowed by cross talk artists, cross talk artists are actually a group of people who are very good at learning, and they often sing ten idle tracks in the opening song, of course, there is traditional cross talk, but there is no new cross talk.

Fang Wenqi turned around, and first came to a set poem: "Storytelling, singing, and persuading people, three roads go to the center." Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the right way in the world ...... Syllable...... It's the vicissitudes of life. ”

After falling the waking wood, the audience applauded, especially those young audiences who watched it was a novelty.

Fang Wenqi glanced around and continued: "Next is the track "Four Joys", Fulu Shouxi. ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of gongs, drums and cymbals suddenly sounded, and these Peking Opera musicians could also match the tunes of the ten.

Fang Wenqi took the lead in opening, don't look at his age, but his voice is still clear, his tone is very high, and he is full of charm: "The word Fu is happy, and the blessing is good and celebrates Ruiping." Blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and I hate that I am wearing red when I am late. "Hate" should be sung as "Han", and it is forbidden to sing hate in the song.

As soon as I heard it, the audience applauded continuously, and this charm was amazing.

Fang Wenqi didn't continue to sing, his left hand waved to the side to signal Fan Wenquan to sing next, Fan Wenquan smiled slightly, opened his mouth and came, he also played elementary school arts, these things have been learned, although the tune is not as high as Fang Wenqi, but it is also very tasteful: "Lu Xing smiled and said Lian Zhong Sanyuan, and the deer Lingzhi contained it in his mouth." Passing by the small bridge under the pine forest, the six countries were crowned as high-ranking officials. ”

The sound of gongs and drums vacated a few eyes, Fan Wenquan beckoned the two children behind him, came up to sing Shou and Xi, Guo Qing hurriedly trotted up, opened his mouth and sang: "Shou Xing Bingshou longevity is boundless, Shou Tao Shou noodles are placed in the center." Shou is ten thousand feet higher than Nanshan, and Grandpa Peng is high and healthy. ”

The audience was very applauded, and the applause was very warm, I didn't expect a child to sing so well.

In the end, it was He Xiangdong's turn, the kid walked between the two people, not timid at all, he has always been a live actor, the louder the scene, the better, turned the sleeves on both sides and looked up, and when the board eye was suitable, he immediately started singing: "Xi Huaer pinched and plugged his head, and poured a few Ou on the wine." The magpie bird landed on the edge of the house, and the good news was that Dengke took the lead. ”

When he opened his voice, the scene suddenly burned, and the applause almost overturned the roof, no one expected that this child, who was only a head taller than the table, would sing so well, whether it was the tune or the charm, it was not lost to two adults at all.

Guo Qing's face was a little ugly, he knew that his junior brother was good at singing when He Xiangdong sang the lyrics of Taiping, but he didn't expect to be so good at singing.

Fan Wenquan also secretly admired it, he had already heard Bai Qiang mention this child, and when he saw it today, he really got it, although he didn't know much, but his basic skills were too solid, and he didn't know how his senior brother cultivated it.

Fang Wenqi was not surprised at all, his apprentice himself knew best, Master Zu rewarded him with a good voice and a good head, and he had never wasted a day of hard practice in the past few years, it was normal to be able to sing like this.

He Xiangdong was very calm, bowed his hand to the audience, and went to the back.

Fang Wenqi continued: "Next, I will sing two sets of songs to you. ”

The audience was still there.

"Let the kid sing one more. ”

"Sing one more. ”

"We're going to hear the kid sing. ”

……

Fang Wenqi stretched out his hands and pressed them slightly, and only when the audience's voice dropped down did he say: "Since everyone is so popular, in this way, the set songs are all sung alone, I will sing a section of "One Door and Five Blessings", and then let my apprentice sing a section of "Come on Stage and Pay Attention", how about it?"

"Good ......" The audience was very respectful, and the applause was loud and loud.

The gongs and drums sounded again, and the audience quieted down.

Fang Wenqi picked up the folding fan on the table as a prop and sang: "One door has five blessings, three more than nine." Seven sons and eight sons-in-law, full of beds, better than the hundred sons of King Nawen. The birthday boy is dancing across the crane in the clouds, and the dragon head is lined with a purple gourd. There is fairy energy in the golden gourd, come on, you ......"

The three people in the back shouted, "How is it?" ”

Fang Wenqi sang: "Fly out 108,000 swallow bats. ”

Fang Wenqi beckoned, and He Xiangdong immediately trotted forward and stood in the table.

The audience applauded.

He Xiangdong sang: "As soon as you come to the stage, you will pay attention to it, on one side is the God of Wealth, and on the other side is the God of Joy." The God of Wealth holds a cash cow in his arms, and the God of Joy holds a cornucopia in his arms. There is a golden horse in the cornucopia, and there is a golden man sitting on the golden horse, and the golden man is holding eight big characters in his hand, come on, you ......"

The remaining three shouted, "How's it going?"

He Xiangdong arched his hand and sang: "May you all attract wealth and treasure, and make money every day." ”

This is a good word, and the audience applauds loudly. There are also some young viewers who exclaimed again and again: "I didn't expect cross talk to be like this, it's really interesting, it's not like this on TV, they all wear suits, and these people still wear coats, it's really interesting." ”

There are also elderly old viewers next to them to solve their doubts: "This is the old traditional cross talk, when I was young, I listened to cross talk like this, and there used to be an opening small song in the old tea house performances, and then they all said that no one sang the new cross talk anymore, but I didn't expect to hear it again today, and I don't know if there will be tomorrow, otherwise I will come." ”

The young audience member also said, "Don't say it, it's so good." ”
