Chapter 126: Striking the Golden Branch
Xie Fuzhi now lives in Li Feiyang's big courtyard, but Zhao Chunjiang's grandfather is extremely strict with his juniors, and he is not allowed to stay outside, so as not to cause trouble. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoTherefore, Zhao Chunjiang has to go back to the compound every day to rest, which is a little less free than Xie Fuzhi.
Zhao Chunjiang has also been to this Baylor Mansion a few times, at that time Li Feiyang had not yet entered Beijing, and Xie Fuzhi lived here first because he wanted to learn acting from the teacher of the drama theater, during which Zhao Chunjiang came here to play with Xie Fuzhi, and he was very envious of this courtyard, so he booked a few rooms for himself, even if he didn't come, he would occupy them, and let Li Feiyang keep them for him.
After Li Feiyang and Xie Fuzhi separated from Zhao Chunjiang, they arrived at Baylor Mansion, and Shao Zilong and Zhang Zhaofu were already waiting for them in the hall. To be exact, the two have been waiting for Li Feiyang for a long time.
Tomorrow is the first performance of the new play, Zhang Zhaofu and Shao Zilong are a little apprehensive, because Li Feiyang was not present at the rehearsal, and the two don't know what the effect of the first performance is, so today I want to ask Li Feiyang if there is anything missing in this play?
After knowing the intention of the two, Li Feiyang couldn't cry or laugh, "This performance hasn't started yet, I haven't even looked at it, how do I know what's wrong?" ”
Shao Zilong and Zhang Zhaofu were concerned about it, their thinking was a little tight, and they were teased by Li Feiyang at this time, only then did they realize that they were really out of proportion, and they laughed at each other at the moment, and each went back to their respective rooms.
On the second day, Xie Fuzhi was going to the teacher's house to make up for the performance training, because the filming time of "Divine Whip" was scheduled for March next spring, and the glass flower played by Xie Fuzhi was an extremely important negative role, and the director was extremely unoptimistic about Xie Fuzhi using a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child to play a twenty-year-old skin, thinking that the studio was fooling around, so he was a little disrespectful to Xie Fuzhi, and it was inevitable that there would be some words with guns and sticks between his words, which made Xie Fuzhi extremely depressed.
Xie Fuzhi is now holding back the fire in his belly, and he is trying his best to improve his acting skills, so that the director can know that he Xie Fuzhi is a powerful real man, not just a relationship that is forced into the shooting team.
Therefore, Li Feiyang wanted to go to the theater to watch the rehearsal of the new play of the Han Opera Troupe, and Xie Fuzhi couldn't follow to watch the excitement.
Whether he accompanies him or not, Li Feiyang doesn't care, anyway, he doesn't watch the performance and rehearse once or twice.
The rehearsal venue is in a large room, and the actors are only wearing costumes, and they do not open their faces with colored pencils.
The rehearsal program this time is "Hitting the Golden Branch", Shao Zilong plays the Tang Emperor, and Guo Yu plays a well-known actor. As for Guo Ziyi, the queen, and the princess, the roles are all played by old actors with solid basic skills in the troupe.
"Hitting the Golden Branch" was a classic repertoire in Li Feiyang's previous life, almost every drama has this joke, and Li Feiyang is most familiar with the HN Henan Opera joke "Hitting the Golden Branch", in which the Tang Emperor's singing voice starring Liu Zhonghe, the red-faced king of Henan Opera, is particularly exciting.
"Hitting the Golden Branch" tells the story of Tang Dynasty Zong who married his daughter Princess Shengping to Guo Ziyi's son Guo Hua as his wife, Princess Shengping relied on herself as a princess and her status was noble, and she didn't go to worship on Guo Ziyi's birthday, which caused Guo Hua's brothers and sisters-in-law to talk a lot.
As a result, Guo Yu was furious and beat Princess Shengping with the strength of wine, and Shengping was angry but went to the palace to sue the emperor, wanting his father to punish her husband Guo Hua.
At this time, Guo Ziyi also tied Guo Hua into the palace like the emperor to make amends, the Tang Emperor was reasonable, and the emperor dissuaded, and finally not only did not punish Guo Hua, but promoted Guo Wu to three levels in a row, so everyone was happy.
In fact, the plot in the opera is quite in line with the reality in history, for the common people, the attraction of this drama is that someone dares to beat the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves, which itself is for the ordinary people who imagine the emperor as omnipotent and determine life and death, beating the princess is a great rebellion, but the more rebellious it is, the more the people like to watch it.
In the end, why didn't the Tang Emperor kill Guo Yu written in the opera? It's not that you don't want to kill, but you don't dare to kill! Even the emperor has to call Guo Ziyi the emperor's brother, and try his best to envelop Guo Ziyi, how big of a deal can a princess be beaten? Is it worth turning against Guo Ziyi because of this trivial matter? It can't be a thing! Guo Ziyi was already too big to be suppressed, and the Tang Emperor did not dare to offend but deliberately enveloped him, so in the end, Guo Yu was only rewarded but not punished.
Some people say that in this play, the main performance is the magnanimity and rationality of the Tang Emperor, but in Li Feiyang's view, this drama shows more of the Tang Emperor's helplessness and submission in front of Guo Ziyi, a powerful general. Ordinary people see it as a drama of family ethics, but in Li Feiyang's eyes, what this drama tells is the delicate relationship between monarchs and ministers and the political means of making concessions to each other and giving face to each other.
Li Feiyang watched the Henan opera "Hitting the Golden Branch" in his previous life, and the more successful images in it were Tang Huang and the Empress, as for the two actors who played Guo Hua and Princess Shengping, to be honest, they didn't sing very well. The body sleeves are okay, but for the singing skills, I really dare not compliment.
Fortunately, in this life, I can see the birth of this play with my own eyes, as the "founder" of this play, Li Feiyang will definitely let it be presented in front of the audience with the most perfect side, and try his best to avoid the inadequacy of its singing.
At this time, the gongs and drums on the stage sounded softly, the curtain opened, and a group of actors who played maids began to move around, and then Princess Shengping appeared.
Seeing the actor who played Princess Shengping appear, Li Feiyang's eyes lit up, the actress waved a few shelves, Princess Shengping was flying and domineering, and the image of everything in her eyes was so abruptly impacted in front of the audience.
"This actor's acting skills are not bad!" With these few body sleeves, Li Feiyang has great expectations for this actor. After opening his mouth to sing the lyrics, Li Feiyang was even more satisfied, this is much better than the one he saw in his previous life!
Princess Shengping finished singing, and then the actor who played Guo Hua entered the scene, and the hand, eye, and body steps were okay, but the voice was a little not loud enough, and the appeal was not too strong. Li Feiyang frowned and said, "Stop for a moment, this section is a bit of a problem!" ”
The band stopped suddenly, and everyone on the stage looked at Li Feiyang to see if he had anything to say.
Now, the actors of the entire Han Opera Troupe are shocked by Li Feiyang, and they don't know how many good things this little kid has in his stomach. casually, it was a wonderful joke thrown to the group. They are professional actors, they know how difficult it is to write a good script, this Chinese drama has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are only a few classic jokes that have been handed down, but Li Feiyang alone, in this half a year, he has made three or four. Each one is a classic, which is no longer something that mortals can imagine!
Now that Li Feiyang said that there is a problem with this singing, then there must be a problem! Everyone stopped and waited for Li Feiyang's guidance.
Li Feiyang said: "The singing voice is a little low, you have to show Guo Hua's angry and corrupt demeanor!" You have to think about how angry it must be for a colt to risk his life to beat the princess? You've got to get your emotions into it! ”
The actor who played Guo Yu nodded again and again, he also felt that his performance was a little inadequate, but this scene was the first rehearsal of the whole play, and he was a little unfamiliar with acting and singing, and it was estimated that it would be no problem to perform a few more shows.
So I went down the line.
Then came the princess's complaint, and the Tang Emperor and the mother of the country appeared.
The Tang Emperor is played by Shao Zilong, and the Mother of the Nation is played by Wang Yumei, the pillar of the Han Opera Troupe. Shao Zilong himself is famous for playing a red face, and most of the reasons why he can become the head of the Han Opera Troupe are because of his high professional level, and the talents in the troupe serve him, otherwise, it will be difficult for a layman to lead an insider.
As soon as Shao Zilong opened his mouth, Li Feiyang knew that there was no problem with this drama, and it would definitely be popular! It depends on whether other troupes have more exciting stories than this, otherwise they will definitely be in the top ten.
In fact, in the opera creation competition at this time, the group that can really get the first place may not be the group with the strongest story and the best singing skills. Only the central idea is to defend the homeland and defend the country, and it is a red repertoire that praises the party's leadership can get a good ranking. Li Fei didn't expect such one or two plays to win the championship in one fell swoop.
In this country, and even in this world, most of the time, it's not you who do well and you become number one.
Because the first one needs to be judged, but as long as it is judged, there will be objections, and there is never an undisputed ranking!
If you just want to be number one, if you just want to get a good position, then the best way is to get the judges instead of working on your professional skills.
Just like if you want to kill someone, one bullet is enough, there is no need to practice kung fu.
But life can't just fool yourself for the sake of getting these hypocritical things, only by truly owning your own things can you get spiritual satisfaction. And it is precisely this kind of spiritual satisfaction that is the source and motivation of human progress.
