Chapter 262: The Essence of Sichuan Opera: Changing Faces
After putting away the things, Liu Yiyi still wanted to continue shopping, but Ling Fan didn't agree, he bought so many things and bought them, after shopping for so long, isn't he tired?
"Yiyi, you see that there are more people in the town now, I guess the temple fair is about to start, we should go to find my mother and them now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As time passed, the town of Meilong, which had been quiet, became lively. Many villagers carrying backpacks, snakeskin bags, and flat burdens continue to gather here from Shili Eight Villages.
Stalls were also set up on both sides of the bluestone road, which was still free, and the stall owners sat on the ground with a random pocket and began to put their goods on the ground. You can set up stalls at will in the town, but there will be no chengguan to collect the stalls, but you should also be careful not to get in the way, and you must clean it when you leave.
"Grandpa, why are you still watching here? The temple fair is about to start now. Liu Yiyi walked through the crowd of onlookers, came to the front of the stage, and immediately squatted down in order not to block the audience behind.
Before Grandpa Liu could answer, Grandma Liu beckoned to Liu Yiyi on the side, "Yiyi, come next to me, don't pay attention to this dead old man." ”
Grandpa Liu on the side smiled awkwardly at Liu Yiyi, and Liu Hongyu and his wife covered their mouths and smiled, they naturally knew that their parents were like this, amusing each other, but they were very fond of each other.
Liu Yiyi sat beside Grandma Liu very well-behaved, and Ling Fan also jumped from Liu Yiyi's shoulder into Grandma Liu's arms, winked at Grandma Liu, waved his little paws, and greeted her.
Ling Fan knew that Grandma Liu had the highest status in the family, and she had to please Grandma Liu, so that she would have a better life.
Touching Ling Fan's back, Grandma Liu said, "Yiyi, after we finish watching this scene, we will go to the temple fair, don't worry." ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just ......" Before Liu Yiyi finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers in the studio.
"Good!"
What's good? Ling Fan was very curious, but Ling Fan was so short that he couldn't see what was being played on the stage when he stood on tiptoe.
However, this is not difficult to see Ling Fan, who wants to see the strange, climbed on her shoulders along Grandma Liu's clothes.
"Squeak!"
I'll go, it turns out to be a change of face in Sichuan Opera! As the quintessence of Sichuan opera, Ling Fan had heard of "Rap Face" on the Internet before, the blue-faced Dou Erdun thief royal horse, the red-faced Guan Gongzhan Changsha, the yellow-faced Dian Wei, and the white-faced Cao ***-faced Zhang Fei chirping. Although he thought it was very strange, he didn't think it was so powerful, he only thought that it was covered with a costume, and then quickly changed to a mask, but now Ling Fan knew that he was wrong!
The theatrical actor on stage just waved his costume, and in the blink of an eye, his face changed to another one, completely unaware of the actor's movements.
"Grandpa, what's going on with this change of face?" As a curious girl, Liu Yiyi saw such a surprised change of face, and naturally wanted to understand the mystery.
"There are three main expressions of face change in Sichuan opera, namely face wiping, which is when the actor pre-applies makeup oil paint to a specific part of the face, and then uses his hand to wipe the face to make the face another color."
"Face blowing is when an actor places powdered cosmetics (gold powder, toner, silver powder) in a container at a specific position on the stage or in a vessel such as a wine glass used by a character, and then closes his eyes, holds his breath, and blows with his mouth to change the color of his face."
"Face pulling is when an actor stacks several faces painted on silk and covers his face, each with a specific silk thread and fixed in a specific position. With the needs of the performance, under the cover of the performance action, one by one was quickly ripped off. This method is ingenious, clean and neat. ”
Speaking of this, Grandpa Liu was extremely proud, as if he was a Sichuan opera actor himself, but there was some loss in his eyes.
For this, Ling Fan still understands, as an ancient performing art, it has been passed down to this day, and the charm in it is naturally indescribable. But now that society is developing, there are fewer and fewer people who like these ancient arts, and such national treasures are also facing the point of disappearing.
Seeing that the drama was also finished and ready to end, Grandpa Liu replied and said, "Yiyi, didn't you always want to go to the temple fair just now?" Let's go, let's go together as a family now. ”
"Let's go, Yiyi, you pull grandma, so as not to get lost for a while." Zhao Mingyue got up and grabbed Liu Hongyu's arm and said.
"I know, I won't let my grandmother get lost, don't worry." Liu Yiyi patted her chest and confidently assured.
After listening to Liu Yiyi's words, the whole family looked at her with strange eyes, and Ling Fan, who was standing on Liu Yiyi's shoulder, also wondered, why did he look at Liu Yiyi like this? Could it be that there was something wrong with what she said?
Seeing that the family was looking at herself with strange expressions, Liu Yiyi was very puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like this, there is no problem with what I said?" I'm sure Grandma won't get lost! ”
Zhao Mingyue looked at Liu Yiyi helplessly and sighed, "Yiyi, grandma, she is a local, will she still not know the road and get lost?" I told you to pull grandma so that you don't get lost, so that you don't have to look for you later. ”
"Mom, is it possible for me to get lost?" Liu Yiyi looked surprised and asked rhetorically.
Zhao Mingyue glanced at her, "Then do you remember what happened in Wuquan Town when you were eleven years old?" ”
"Ahh Liu Yiyi first recalled, and then quickly waved her hand and said, "Mom, don't mention that incident, I was so young at that time, it was normal to go the wrong way!" ”
It turned out that Liu Yiyi was in a town closest to Liujiawan, and had been lost because she remembered the wrong direction to go home, and the Liu family was in a hurry, and mobilized many people to look for it together, and finally it was an uncle who drove a tractor in Liujiawan who saw Liu Yiyi crying helplessly on the side of the road, so he sent her back.
After that time, Zhao Mingyue and the others also found that Liu Yiyi had some problems, that is, she was a bit of a road idiot and often remembered the wrong direction.
Damn, I said that when I started to visit the town, why did Liu Yiyi ask me to remember the route clearly, she was also a road idiot for a long time! Ling Fan opened his mouth slightly, looking at Liu Yiyi with a surprised expression.
"Mom, don't say it, let the balls know, it's a shame." Liu Yiyi saw Ling Fan's expression and immediately covered Zhao Mingyue's mouth, "Let's hurry up and go to the temple fair!" ”
The family looked at Liu Yiyi's shy appearance, smiled and said nothing, so Liu Yiyi became even more shy. (To be continued.) )
