Chapter 144: The Game Begins (2)
Huang Shichang glanced around and found that several junior judges around him, after watching this Kunqu Opera performance, were hesitant and did not dare to speak easily, as if they had no confidence in the comments on Kunqu Opera. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huang Shichang sighed secretly, extremely disappointed in his heart.
As a cultural person, seeing such a good quintessence of national opera, the ancestor of a hundred operas, the most elegant opera, the most famous and talked-about Kunqu opera in history, some of the so-called literati today do not know why, which really makes him sad.
The scene of "The Palace of Eternal Life" performed by Kunqu Opera just now is actually not a complete paragraph, but it is just a play drawn from more than 50 plays in the whole play, called "Shocking Change", but Rao is like this, and he also performed a lot of time, and an afternoon passed like this.
In the usual type of opera, the whole play has already been performed in one afternoon, but the Kunqu opera "The Palace of Eternal Life" was only performed in one afternoon with more than 50 plays, which shows the complexity of this Kunqu opera and the slow rhythm of singing.
Huang Shichang sighed: "Teacher Ji's performance is very good, when I was more than ten years old, it was still in the previous dynasty, and I watched the play performed by the troupe celebrating Lafayette's birthday in the Old Summer Palace with my family, which was also Kunqu Opera." At that time, I didn't understand it, and I didn't realize that it was good, but the relatives of the emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs who were watching the play at that time were all elated and applauded desperately. Since then, I have known that this drama is not simple, after all, no matter what the character of the people who watched the drama in the Old Summer Palace at that time, they must have knowledge. is not a well-educated person, a person with high power, and he can't enter the Old Summer Palace at all. With their vision and knowledge, they all applauded the Kunqu Opera performance, which seems to be really good. ”
He looked at several very old Kunqu opera performers and said with a smile: "When I was in my twenties, I was implicated by a friend, abandoned my wife's begging and went to the south to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Shichang said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that Kunqu Opera is in decline now, and it is far from the grand occasion of the past." As far as I know, there are less than 800 Kunqu opera performers who still insist on performing Kunqu opera, and the rest of the performers have changed careers to other genres due to the pressure of life. I have great admiration for the 800 teachers who insist on performing Kunqu Opera. It's not easy to keep performing under so much pressure, and I propose that everyone applaud them! ”
The audience applauded again.
Huang Shichang said: "As far as I know, the 800 teachers who still insist on performing Kunqu Opera are called '800 Heroes', a title that sounds heart-wrenching now. When did the most elegant, oldest, and most cultured drama of our Han Dynasty reach such a difficult point? ”
Huang Shichang looked sad, "The appreciation of elegant art is what truly reveals the overall cultural literacy of a country and a nation, of course, I am not saying that other types of opera are not elegant, but relatively speaking, Kunqu Opera has the highest artistic achievements and is the most worthy of people's appreciation!" But now? Many people don't know what kind of performance Kunqu Opera is! I'm really worried that in a few decades, not only Kunqu opera, but also other opera genres will be on the verge of extinction! ”
sighed a few words, and said that several old Kunqu opera artists standing on the stage were in tears, and the silent persistence and ununderstood depression for such a long time were mentioned by Huang Shichang at this time, and the Kunqu opera actors present were all in tears, and they couldn't help themselves. The audience below was also in a commotion, moved by the persistence of these actors.
On the judges' bench, Huang Shichang began to comment: "Several teachers are all skilled performance artists, and their figures, singing voices, and recitations have reached the point of perfection, and in my eyes as an old man, they are already very perfect." It's just that this competition is more than writing a new song.,Although the performance of a few people is extremely perfect.,But it's a little bit off with the theme of this competition.,Based on this,I can't give you ten perfect marks.,But... Nine points, I must give it! ”
Several Kunqu opera performers on the stage choked up: "Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Huang for your love, I hope you will pay more attention to Kunqu Opera in the future, support Kunqu Opera more, thank you!" Several people bowed and thanked them, and they were very excited.
After Huang Shichang finished scoring, the judges behind him also began to score, but most of them didn't understand the quality of Kunqu Opera, but it was bound to not give it a full score, and it would not work if it was low, this is an endangered drama that needs strong support in the future, if you don't give him a good ranking, how can you carry out protection and rescue work with great fanfare in the future?
Yes, a group of people discussed for a long time, and they all gave a score that was neither high nor low, either eight points or seven points, of which eight points were the most. On average, 7.8 points, because it is only the second game, it is difficult to determine whether this score is high or low in the whole game. You can only know when you come in the next place.
As soon as the Kunqu opera was finished, today's competition performance was over, and everyone in the audience got up and left the stage in twos and threes.
When Huang Shichang was about to leave, several Kunqu opera performers surrounded him and expressed their gratitude to him. Why Innovate? Not to mention that our Kunqu opera is going to be innovative, whether it can be inherited is a big question, and it needs to be innovated? If you can pass on some old classic repertoire, you will be of great merit! ”
An old woman asked, "Mr. Huang, if we don't innovate, no one will watch the acting!" ”
"You can't lose the traditional way of acting! Otherwise, what is it to blend modern elements into opera? Isn't it like four? On the contrary, it seems more nondescript! Huang Shichang was a little indignant, "Don't listen to your bullshit leader, is your leader's name Cao Yidu?" I'll call him when I get back and ask him to reverse this bullshit decision! A bastard who doesn't understand anything, and dares to command blindly? ”
After scolding Cao Yidu for a while, Huang Shichang comforted several actors and said: "Big brother, big sister, don't worry, hasn't the country paid attention to the plight of Kunqu Opera now?" In the next few years, the government will vigorously support it, you just need to sing your play well, don't worry about anything else! If you really suffer any grievances, just come to me! ”
Seeing that several actors were gone, Li Feiyang asked Huang Shichang a little curiously, "Grandpa Huang, is the current situation of Kunqu Opera so difficult now?" ”
Huang Shichang said: "It's really difficult! If you don't rescue it, it's estimated that it will really die! ”
"So serious?"
"It's serious! Some actors have left the troupe, and now the inheritance has been interrupted, and if they don't protect it, they are really going to break off such a drama! ”
Huang Shichang said worriedly: "Kunqu opera is different from other dramas, other dramas, as long as there is a storyline, a recitation, and the context of the whole story, there is no problem if the performance method is lost, it is a big deal to take some time to design a new performance." But this point does not work here in Kunqu Opera, this kind of old repertoire performance method, every line, every action, every tune, is all generations of literati and writers, scholars with very high literary and historical skills are carefully designed, almost will affect the overall performance level. It can't be changed easily! Regarding Kunqu Opera, if a play only has a script, but the performance steps, performance movements and singing are lost, then the play can basically be said to be lost! He has lost the value of his stage performance! Its final contribution can only be a bibliographic reference! ”
Li Feiyang said: "Hasn't the government started protective rescue now? Grandpa Huang, what are you still worried about? ”
Huang Shichang heard Li Feiyang ask this, and said angrily: "Protection? Rescue? To put it nicely, do they know what protection is? A bunch of stuff that doesn't understand anything knows how to shout slogans! What else do you want to innovate and develop? Phew! If you can't inherit it, you still want to develop? What a shame! ”
Speaking of this, Huang Shichang said: "No, I have to ask about this matter, the people at the bottom don't know how to pretend to understand, the layman commands the insider, don't really make this drama outdone!" Third child, you talk to Feiyang first, I have to find someone to deal with this problem! He left in a hurry, walked a long way, and suddenly turned around and said, "Feiyang, don't forget to go to our house for dinner today!" Third child, you take Feiyang home first, I'm going back a little later today! ”
Looking at Huang Shichang's distant figure, Li Feiyang smiled: "The old man is still so in a hurry?" ”
Huang Zhengnong said: "Isn't it? At such an age, you are not afraid of falling? Still such a quick temper! However, looking at his expression today, it is estimated that the leader of the Kunqu Opera Troupe is going to be unlucky! ”
"Oh? How do you say that? ”
Huang Zhengnong said with a smile: "The old man can't rub the sand in his eyes, and the most hated thing in his life is those officials who blindly command in an official tone, these people, for the sake of political achievements, always let the people below make some face projects to fool the leaders above, this kind of person is okay in the local officialdom, but once it comes to the cultural aspect, the damage will be great!" What the old man hated most in his life was this kind of thing that nominally said to protect culture, but in fact destroyed art! This time, this guy named Cao Yidu is going to have a hard time! ”
