Chapter Eighty-Three: Commentary
Commenting on the book is not an endorsement, it is not to say that the book is memorized as it is, this is the commentary, the first word of the review is the commentary, the first review and then the book, it is to have something to comment on, each reviewer has a different understanding of the book, and the taste of the words is not the same.
However, the artistic style required by the storytelling is still relatively unified, first of all, the characters and scenes it depicts must be delicate and realistic, so that the audience has an immersive feeling, this is not a simple job, just relying on a mouth can make the audience have the feeling of watching a movie, which can not be done without decades of hard work.
When the main characters are portrayed in the storytelling, their appearance and other aspects will be described, which is called "open face", which is delicate and realistic, so that the audience can instantly feel the character, and before seeing the person, lead the god first, just like Zhuge Liang's open face in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is: eight feet tall, with the same font and style, and the face is like jade. The eyebrows are colorful, the eyes are like stars, the nose is like a jade pillar, the lips are like Danzhu, and there are wheels in both ears. Lupine scarf, dressed in a crane, fluttering with a fairy temperament.
"There are many things in the world, but storytelling is hard to learn. Pretending to be a writer and martial artist, it's like a big show. "The art of storytelling also relies on the actor's mouth alone, integrating the ugliness of life and ugliness, smelting everything in one furnace, the performance form is single, but the effect is surprisingly good. The success rate of this line is also quite low, and it is difficult to learn the horns.
From today, He Xiangdong also began to formally learn art with Zhang Kuoru, and on the first day of study, Zhang Kuoru introduced him to the history and rules of storytelling, and then the practice of basic skills.
As expected, He Xiangdong's basic skills are very solid, the art of cross talk is very close to storytelling, and the practice of teaching their disciples the basic skills also has something in common.
Crosstalk pays attention to speaking and singing, and storytelling pays attention to speaking and commenting.
First of all, storytelling is naturally a storytelling, and this line is based on talking. The same is true for cross talk, most of the content of cross talk is mainly talking, He Xiangdong has practiced his verbal kung fu for so long, and he can completely do it quickly and slowly, and the truth is calm, there is naturally no problem with the basic skills of this statement, of course, it is far from being alert to the heart, and it is still far from listening to the point of automatic tolerance.
The acting in the commentary is the performance of the characters' dialogues, expressions, movements, etc., to show the characters from multiple angles, which is also similar to cross talk, He Xiangdong's work is the five-line poem, which involves many historical figures, all kinds of characters need to be expressed, and there are various characters involved in the passage, although this is different from the storytelling, but the foundation is here, and it is fast to learn.
Commentary is the top priority in storytelling, and if you don't comment on a story, the actor is incompetent. Commentary can explain the background of the story, can also construct suspense, guide the audience into the story, and more accurately describe the personalities of each character, which is very good for actors, and this is also He Xiangdong's weakest point.
The gimmick is the joke, and there are very few jokes in the storytelling, and they usually laugh heartily. Mr. Shuanghouping, a master of storytelling, is very good at this, his romance of the gods has given every god a nickname, which is humorous and humorous, and uses the gimmick to the peak, and people's evaluation of him is: in the narration of the ancients, secretly ridicule current affairs, do not show the corners, and make people feel refreshed. The kung fu of gimmicks should not be difficult for He Xiangdong, who was born in the cross talk door.
Learning has also become a skill, commonly known as the eight skills, which is widely used in storytelling. There are two main parts to learning in storytelling, one is to imitate the voice of nature, and the other is to imitate the voice of man. To give people a sense of realism, you must work hard from the mouth, thunder and rain, horseback fighting, and thousands of horses galloping are all coming out of one mouth, this difficulty is not small, especially kung fu. That night, He Xiangdong stirred up the voice of the hotel, Zhang Kuoru was not angry at all, but very happy, the reason for this was because He Xiangdong knew ventriloquism, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Of course, there are more and more advanced things in storytelling, and what I said above are some basics, just for understanding and reference. He Xiangdong made Zhang Kuoru feel relieved with his unique conditions and extraordinary talents, and he became more and more attentive to teaching.
And He Xiangdong is also very attentive to learning art, except for when he studied art with the master, he was all soaked here, and he never told the master about Zhang Kuoru, the key is that he didn't know how to speak, so he could only be silent all the time, and subconsciously chose to hide it.
Time flies quickly, the week-long ban on performances will soon arrive, and the news has long been released, every time the audience asks about it, they will talk about it, and Fang Wenqi and Yang San always talk about it on stage.
On Monday night, He Xiangdong was preparing backstage, but the audience was crazy, this small theater could seat 100 people, but it sold nearly 200 tickets, and this enthusiasm shocked everyone backstage.
Then they faced a huge problem, that is, there were not enough stools, and they could occasionally sell more tickets, but there were not so many, and there were not so many stools prepared.
But the tickets were all sold, so the audience couldn't be allowed to stand, Lin Zhengjun immediately decided to let all the actors in the theater run out to borrow stools from these shops next door, and it was okay to rent them if they couldn't borrow them.
Soon, a group of young men with big flower faces all rushed out, as if they were walking at night like a hundred ghosts, and they looked really panicked at night.
Lin Zhengjun walked to He Xiangdong's side, and said excitedly and excitedly: "Dongzi, Dongzi, tell me about you, why are you so likeable." ”
The audience who had been holding back for a week all broke out, and this scene also frightened He Xiangdong, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "There is no way to look good." ”
Fang Wenqi looked up at the sky, this shameless goods have nothing to do with me.
Yang San also made the same move.
There is also Baifeng Mountain.
In the end, Lin Zhengjun looked at the three people, and could only raise his head silently.
……
opened, He Xiangdong appeared with a smile on his face.
As soon as he took the first step, the audience was ablaze, applause erupted, and the terrifying sound shook He Xiangdong's ears a little deafening. He Xiangdong waved to the audience again and again, but the applause just couldn't stop.
Backstage, Yang San said to Fang Wenqi: "Look at Dongzi, this audience is simply amazing, he is only nine years old, this is simply a proper big horn, Fang Qi, you have a successor." ”
Fang Wenqi smiled and said: "It's too early to say this kind of thing, it is precisely because he is only nine years old that I am worried that it is not impossible for artists to be popular when they are young, but there are very few such people who can become famous in the future. ”
Yang San paused, and then said, "You still don't have confidence in Dongzi?"
Fang Wenqi said: "How can a person know the destiny of heaven, he just did his best, I wish everything is okay with this child." ”
