Chapter Seventy-Eight: Do You Want to Apprentice?
Wang Yi followed the old man Zou Shiyan to a nearby park. In a gazebo corridor in the corner, many old men and women in their 60s have gathered. When they saw Lao Zou coming, they all greeted Lao Zou.
"Old Zou! Why are you pinching a little bit today? โ
"Old Zou! Who did you bring here today, remember that your son is not like this, if you don't have a girl, then you are not an uncle. Lao Zou, it's not your illegitimate child! Hahahaha"
"Lao Zou is not that kind of person! Who is this little brother? โ
"Old Zou! I'm going to have a role this time, I haven't sung in years, and my throat is itchy! โ
Wang saw that Lao Zou was still very good here. Most people have a good relationship with him.
While playing haha with people, Zou Shiyan walked up to a slender woman with a gentle temperament, and pulled Wang Yi to introduce, "Shuilian, this is one of my New Year's friends, Wang Yi, he is very interested in our Peking Opera, I will take him to see our rehearsals!" โ
"Hello! I'm Song Shuilian. Welcome to the leader of this amateur Peking Opera troupe, welcome to the class! "Song Shuilian looks to be in her forties, with a calm, mature and calm elegant temperament and charm, and a bookish atmosphere.
"Hello, Mr. Song!" Wang Yi smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb!" I'm sorry for your trouble! โ
"Don't be so polite!" Song Shuilian said with a smile: "We wish that more young people would join us?" Do you know why we call it Chengqi Class? It is the meaning of inheriting the past and opening the future, we are doing it in the past, we have been working hard in the future, and you are here, which is also an encouragement to us! Teacher Zou, you can receive our child! I'm going to see how the band is going. โ
Watching Song Shuilian walk away, Zou Shiyan asked Wang Yi mysteriously, "Boy, guess how old she is?" โ
"I'm in my 40s!" Wang Yi looked at Old Man Zou pretending to be mysterious and felt funny!
"Cut!" Old man Zou had a look on his face that you had guessed wrong, and said, "It's already fifty-five!" It's been almost ten years since I retired! โ
"Why did you retire so early?" Wang Yi asked curiously: "Retired at the age of 45?" โ
"The rules of our cultural system stipulate that you can retire after 30 years of service!" Zou Shiyan said: "Our generation, even if they participate in the work from the theater school, most of them retire at the age of forty-five or sixteen, and the Huaxia Peking Opera Company is better, and we can be rehired after retirement, and we small theater troupes can't wait to retire!" Retirement gets the full salary, and non-retirement gets the difference salary, 60 percent. โ
"What a strange rule!" Wang Yi said: "If you don't work, you get more than you work." โ
In fact, this is very easy to understand, 60 percent is the financial allocation, and the remaining 40 percent is the company's own profit and loss, but most of it is a loss. So then they were all idle. Sixty became the norm. โ
Zou Shiyan shook his head and explained, at this time, there was already movement in the band. Zou Shiyan hurriedly said to Wang Yi: "You can take a look here!" Rehearsals are about to begin, and I still have a role. I won't be with you! โ
Wang Yi asked Zou Shiyan to be busy, don't worry about him. The gongs and drums sounded, and the rehearsal officially began.
Wang looked at it for a while, and generally understood that it was Mei Pai's signature play "The Drunken Concubine", Song Shuilian's Yang Guifei, Zou Shiyan's Gao Lishi, an old man he didn't know played Pei Lishi, and eight palace maids.
Song Shuilian's performance is called a thousand manners, and the form of the concubine Niangniang who is drunk and pregnant with spring is vividly expressed. I didn't expect to be fifty-five years old, and various figures and footwork such as lower waist, fan dance, and drunken steps are all out of the question. played Yang Guifei as both glamorous and feminine, and dignified.
Looking at the rehearsal, Wang Yi suddenly remembered a song, "The New Concubine Drunk" by Li Yugang on Earth. This is one of the best songs to combine opera with pop music, and there are several other songs on the planet that have tried this aspect, but Li Yugang's performance is so brilliant that this song is the most widely sung.
"Shangguan Jing." Wang Yi meditated silently in his heart.
"Master!" Shangguan Jing appeared.
"Redeem the song "The Drunken Concubine"!" Wang Yi said.
"Okay!" Shangguan Jing said: "100 experience points!" What else does the master command! โ
"No more!" After Wang Yi finished redeeming the song, he began to seriously observe Song Shuilian's performance. Unknowingly, Wang Yi actually followed the comparison. The same action is placed on Wang Yi, which is called a miserable one. There were already many people around Wang Yi who were snickering. It's just that Wang Yi didn't realize it.
A play is not long, between 40 minutes and 1 hour. When the rehearsal was over, Wang Yi reacted and made a foreign appearance. His face turned red all at once. I was so ashamed that I almost found a crack in the ground and got in. At this time, Zou Shiyan and Song Shuilian walked over.
"Mr. Wang," Song Shuilian spoke first, "I didn't expect you to be really interested in our Peking Opera!" โ
Wang Yi blushed and said: "The main reason is that Mr. Song's performance is so good, Mr. Song's performance has given me inspiration, and a song containing Peking Opera elements has surged in my heart." So I couldn't help but imitate Mr. Song's figure and singing voice. It's ugly! โ
"Boy! It's okay," Zou Shiyan said with a smile, "We often say that if you don't go crazy, you can't live, so there is a saying that a drama madman is actually an obsession with opera, and only people with this kind of obsession can succeed!" You're already on your way to success! โ
was praised by Zou Shiyan like this, and Wang Yi was even more embarrassed. It was Song Shuilian who gave Wang Yi a way to relieve the siege.
"I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be versatile," Song Shuilian said: "What song did Mr. Wang create, I'm curious, what does it have to do with my play?" โ
"How can I be versatile," Wang Yi said, "Mr. Zou knows, I am a bar singer, a few days ago, Mr. Zou asked me if I could combine songs and opera, I began to ponder." Seeing Mr. Song's performance, inspiration came suddenly. This song is based on the drunkenness of Teacher Song's concubine. It's called "The New Concubine Drunk"! โ
"Oh!" Zou Shiyan was excited and said, "Try singing two sentences!" โ
"I just thought of a few words! It's not mature yet! Wang Yi said.
"Sing it!" Although Song Shuilian encouraged Wang Yi, she didn't pay much attention to it. Can you combine opera with song after watching a rehearsal? Are you kidding!
"Hmmm! Well! Then I'll sing a few words, it's not mature yet! Wang Yi cleared his throat and began to sing.
That year, the snowflakes fell and the plum blossoms bloomed on the branches
There was too much sorrow left next to Huaqing Pond that year
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
In the first few sentences, Zou Shiyan and Song Shuilian disagreed, and the older the opera actors, the more they disliked pop songs. I just think that Wang Yi's voice condition is very good, and his voice is very good.
Love and hate are in a moment
Raise a glass to the moon like the sky
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
As soon as these words were sung, Zou Shiyan and Song Shuilian were shocked. This is a typical Danjiao singing voice, but I didn't expect Wang Yi's small voice to be so good. The falsetto voice is comparable to that of a female voice. If it is left in the previous troupe, then God will reward this mouthful of food, and the throat of Da Tsing Yi will be proper.
Wang stopped singing a short part. There was applause all around. Wang Yi is also very proud, this time he didn't use the system bonus, it was purely a personal play, but he didn't expect to be able to sing "The New Concubine Drunk" like Li Yugang.
"Mr. Wang is really talented!" Song Shuilian applauded and said: "You have a very good voice, you are a natural man, but you have not undergone systematic training, and your breath and voice are unstable, are you interested in learning from me for a while!" โ
Uh~, what's the rhythm? Wang Yi was stunned, do you want to apprentice?
