Bing'er really invited all the members of Li Yu's troupe to come to the Beijing Grand Theater to watch the performance of the Renyi class, and Li Yu happily took all his disciples to watch it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

To say that the theater that Fujin bought for his daughter and son-in-law is really enough for the situation, first of all, the stage is large, and then the venue is wide, that is, the space that can accommodate the audience is large. The second is that the facilities are good, the whole thing is indoors, unlike the open-air stage rented by Li Yu and them, which can't be performed when it's windy and rainy.

In the middle of the stage is the foam board with the big foam characters "Drama Special" processed by Yun'er, and the back is lined with large peony flowers, which is very three-dimensional. On both sides of the stage are the more heavy and rich curtains of the exotic kind, and there are several curtains. This is for the actors to go on stage. If it is the kind of small door that "goes out" and "enters the phase", it will be very inconvenient to have a repertoire that folds and plays with momentum.

At the front is a large curtain, a fuchsia velvet curtain that can be pulled open from both sides.

Before the start of the show, there is a loud bell to remind people to take their seats quickly, about five minutes, and the bell rings again and the show officially begins. A sweet-looking girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a full-fledged flag suit, came to the middle of the curtain in a graceful manner. In addition to the embroidered pale green cheongsam on her body, this girl also wears flowerpot bottom shoes. The jewelry and hairpins on the head, how beautiful and beautiful they are, make the young women in the audience envious of the little stars in their eyes!

The little girl gave a blessing to the audience, and then said in a crisp voice and clear words: "Fathers and elders in Beijing, brothers and sisters, adults, today is a special performance of the Renyi class drama, there will be a cappella and martial arts fragments of Peking Opera, Ping Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Henan Opera, I hope you can like it." Now the show begins! With that, he saluted again with a smile on his face, and the audience began to applaud when he finished the game.

The curtain slowly opened, except for the three-dimensional sign painting of the "Drama Special" hanging high, there were no props, and the middle of the venue was a carpet. At this time, from behind the curtain on the right side, there was a young man in a soldier's strong uniform, holding a yellow dragon flag in his hand, and he turned over his head and played the field, and the one that turned over his head was like a wheel, and he couldn't see anyone. Then the same four soldiers came out and turned their heels to play, but none of them had flags in their hands. While turning his heels, the gongs and drums were also beating rhythmically.

Li Yu's eyes in the audience are not enough. Don't look at a few heels, that's half an hour on stage and ten years off the stage. And the costumes and props are so exquisite, and the yellow dragons on the Yellow Dragon Flag are all embroidered.

walked around the stage and stood on the left and right. Then a more beautiful female general appeared, with a spear in her hand, and came up while practicing. Wearing a helmet with a seven-star forehead on his head, two long pheasant tails on his helmet, wearing a big red female general python robe, wearing half-high-waisted thick-soled boots on his feet, and four triangular flags on the hard backs behind him, holding a silver-headed spear with fiery red tassels, with a heroic, hearty and proud expression.

In the applause of the audience, the female general played a silver spear in her hand with the sound of gongs and drums, and flew up and down. From time to time, she made a heroic appearance, and the soldiers on the stage also followed her around the field.

On the right side of the stage, an enemy general with a big flower face came up, fighting with the female general. The gongs and drums became closer and closer, and at some point, there were many more soldiers waving flags and shouting on the stage, cheering for the two generals who were fighting together.

Li Yu's eyes followed the female general's body, not that he was a nymphomaniac looking at the actress Changjun, but that the costume she was wearing was too exquisite! I don't know what kind of clothing it is made of, it's a bit like silk and it's not silk, the silk is smooth, but the clothes on her body are a little fluffy and very structured. The color is very positive, the ironing is decent, and there is no wrinkle at all. I don't know what kind of gems are inlaid on the clothes, but when you turn around and jump, there will be a long ray of light passing by, which looks particularly gorgeous. And the barrel of the spear, I don't know what it's made of, it's shiny and shiny, and it can shine on people. These are not small in price! It's really rich. Li Yu's class leader admired the demeanor of the actors in the Renyi class very much, they were delicate and noble, as if the Manchu Qing Dynasty troupe did not have a class owner like them who was willing to spend so much money on the actors.

When you see what other actors are wearing, and then look at what your own actors are wearing, it's a world of difference! Li Yu's Li Jiaban actors are actually dressed well, they are all Hangzhou brocade embroidered costumes, very exquisite, but they are all afraid of touching and dirty, because the color is too delicate, the clothes made of brocade material can't be twisted, and it will be bad if they are wrinkled. Even the props of the performance are far inferior to others!

Old man Li looked up to the sky and sighed: "It can't be compared, it can't be compared, people have to die compared to people, and goods have to be thrown away." has been in the rivers and lakes for more than 40 years, and he is not as good as a teenager!

In the best room of the cinema box sat Prince Xuan and his four side Fujin. Each of them is a beautiful flower of the young prince, not only because he looks like a country, but also on his body and on his head, which can make many innocent girls envious!

"Guard Gelong, you go and invite the head of Li Yu and Li who is sitting in the front row to this king."

"Huh!" Gelong hugged his fists, turned around and went downstairs, came to the front row of the audience, and asked in a low voice, "Which one is the Li class master?" ”

Li Yu's ears were good, and he heard it immediately, and quickly stood up: "This master, down there is Li Yu." You are ......"

Gelong whispered: "The subordinates are the guards of the Xuan Wangfu Xuan Wangye, and my prince invites you to go to the upper box." Don't worry, there's nothing to do, just a few casual conversations. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away, and ask the guards to show me the way."

"Sir, please."

Li Yu thought to himself: "It's sixty years old, and it's the first time that a prince has come to invite." Don't say it's chatting, even if you don't dare to go away. ”

When he came to the door of the box, there were four young men dressed as soldiers guarding the door, and Gelong smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, sir, and my subordinates will go in and pass the word." ”

"Please."

Soon there was Gelong's voice: "Come in, Master Li." ”

When Li Yu entered the door, he saw a beautiful young man. The moon-white robe is embroidered with bamboo with fine brushwork, which is elegant, fresh, and smiling. Behind him are several young women like fairies, needless to say, it is the wife of Prince Xuan. To be exact, a concubine, such as a lady.

"Grass man Li Yu greets the prince, the prince is auspicious!" Li Yu immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Xuan'er hurriedly helped him up: "This king is young, how can Mr. be so gifted?" In terms of age, you should be from the king's grandparents. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the grass people are dozens of years old. I haven't said hello to a few Fujin yet. ”

"Excuse me. Sir, you may be seated. It's an informal place, and there's no need for those etiquette. This king has always admired Mr. Learning, not only to learn to be rich and rich. If nothing else, your "Liweng Rhyme" will make the two Fujin five bodies of this king fall to the ground. ”

"How dare you? When the prince said this, the grass people were embarrassed. Li Yu didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear of abruptly attacking the prince's daughter.

"Sir, please be seated, Gelong, and serve tea."

"Thank you for your hospitality, the grass people are a little flattered."

"Sir, don't be restrained. Three of the king's ladies were Han women, and one was unwell and did not come. One of these two is the Ling Concubine of Master Li, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the other is the Ling Concubine of Zhou Peigong, a scholar who is now a scholar around the Holy Shang. They are all scholarly families, and they are also affected by a little bit of everything, and they are very impressed by your "Liweng Rhyme", so today this king brought them to let them see the talented Mr. Li with their own eyes. ”

"Hello Mr. Li." Li Ling'er and Zhou Xinyao's bodies bent slightly, even if they were courtesy.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! The prince loves the grass people too much, the grass people are just a part of all living beings, where can they dare to be the name of the great talent? ”

"Sir, please be seated, please have tea."

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Sir's hometown seems to be in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

"Back to the prince, it's Lanxi, Zhejiang."

"Great place! Although this king has never been there, he has heard that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, so it is no wonder that there is such a talent as Mr. ”

"The prince said that he laughed, the grass people just wrote a few scripts to support their families."

After a conversation here, Lord Xuan asked Li Yu to go back. Li Yu delayed a period of Peking Opera "Borrowing the East Wind", but it was a good thing to be received by the "prodigy prince".

The curtain fell, and the girl in the flag costume came on the stage again: "The following is a fold of "Eighteen Miles Away" in the Yue Opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", please enjoy." ”

The curtain opened again, it is a landscape painting of the Jiangnan water town composed of four large drawing boards, it is really dripping with ink, and the warm and beautiful Jiangnan water town is really general! There are also reflections of peach blossoms and small pavilions in the water. Li Yu's eyes immediately became moist, and he couldn't help crying. What kind of hometown scenery is this painted by a talented person?

The music of Yue Opera became soft, and a pair of young scholars came out of the curtain on the right, one with thick eyebrows and slightly taller eyes, and the other was a scholar with delicate eyebrows and beautiful appearance. The taller ones wore emerald blue kaftans, while the shorter ones wore pink kaftans, which contrasted sharply.

Zhu Yingtai: I went out of the city and passed the customs, but I saw the woodcutter on the mountain carrying firewood.

Liang Shanbo: It's hard to get up early and go down at night, and it's hard to get by

Zhu Yingtai: Brother Liang, why did he carry firewood? For which do you send down the mountain?

Liang Shanbo: The two brothers went out, and the magpies were in pairs in front of the door. The magpie has always reported good news, congratulations to the virtuous brother on returning home safely.

……

Zhu Yingtai: A hundred flowers bloom in front of Phoenix Mountain

Liang Shanbo: There is a lack of peony and peony.

Zhu Yingtai: Brother Liang, if you love peony, return home with me. I have a good peony at home, and it is not difficult for Brother Liang to pick it.

……

Zhu Yingtai: Qingqing lotus leaf clear water pond, mandarin ducks in pairs and in pairs. Brother Liang, if Yingtai is a woman with red makeup, is Brother Liang willing to match a mandarin duck?

……

Zhu Yingtai: I have a little ninth sister in my family, and I am a big matchmaker with Brother Liang?

……

Zhu Yingtai: Brother Liang, you will carry the sedan chair early, and Yingtai will ask you to come to my house on Qixi Festival.

Accompaniment singing: It is difficult to separate at parting, I want to say a thousand words in my heart, and I hope that Brother Liang will come soon.

……

The beautiful voice, the performance is really touching, and the singing is beautiful and changeable, which shocked Li Yu and all the members of his troupe! This is Jiangsu and Zhejiang opera, the drama of my hometown! The lines, dialogues and lyrics are also in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects! Li Yu is a little uncontrollable, once upon a time, there was such a drama in his hometown? How come you don't even know a little bit? The tune is so graceful, melodious, pure and beautiful, and moving! How did he know that the final formation of Yue Opera was in the twelfth year of Xianfeng, and it was nearly two hundred years before they were now, and there was not even a shadow at the moment! The only thing that makes Li Yu feel that the fly in the ointment is that the lyrics are a little plain, but if it is sung to the common people, it is still very good. How did he know that this was written in the vernacular by the people of later generations?

Li Yu can't sit on the bench anymore, he has been traveling south and north all these years, and he has some knowledge, why don't he know anything about this Yue Opera? If your own troupe can sing this play, wouldn't it be an extra way to live? And this drama itself has a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, even if it is performed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will become a sensation, the singing is too good, and the performance is too beautiful! The two actors who played Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai really sang and read well, and their feelings were deep.

After returning to his residence, Li Yu began to investigate the matter of Yue Opera, and asked how many southern opera troupes in Beijing had been, but no one had heard of the word Yue Opera. I asked the opera troupe in the capital again, but I haven't heard of it! That's weird. How could such a drama appear out of thin air?

"Master, this is an invitation from the master of the Renyi class Zhao to you, inviting you to take the whole of our troupe to watch a full version of Huangmei Opera "The Female Concubine" tomorrow.

"Go, definitely go!" Master Li Yu couldn't wait to accept the invitation: "I didn't expect that there would be such an adventure in the capital!" We didn't come in vain this time. ”

Li Yu, who watched Huangmei Opera, simply couldn't sleep at night. The Huangmei opera, which is completely different from Yue Opera, has the same beautiful and beautiful tune, and the singing tone is like flowing water, euphemistic and fresh, delicate and touching, with a strong local flavor. is different from Yue Opera, although Yue Opera is good, it is not easy to understand. Huangmei opera, on the other hand, is easy to understand and popular. It can move people's voice, touch the heart, and be sultry.

In the Li Yu era, Huangmei opera also did not appear, it was a small folk opera that appeared in the late eighteenth century, at that time it was called tea picking opera, and later called Huangmei tune.

Next, Bing'er invited the entire Li Yu Opera Troupe to watch the full version of the Henan Opera "Mulan". Compared with Yue Opera and Huangmei Opera, Henan Opera has a passionate and unrestrained masculinity, and the tactfulness and femininity of Yue Opera is just the opposite. The singing is smooth, the rhythm is distinct, the words are clear, the lines are hearty, and it is very colloquial, so it is extremely easy to understand. This drama is good at expressing majestic scenes, with strong local characteristics, simple and popular.

Li Yu felt that his mental pressure was too great! I've been writing, rehearsing, and performing plays for almost 40 years, and now I'm still crawling in a small corner! The outside world is so big, but I am enjoying myself. Sixty years old, it seems that it is too late for anything! has acted in a lifetime of plays, not as good as a teenager. Of course, he is not jealous, but sighs to himself! What is the rich five cars? I don't even know what's going on around you! Just when Bing'er invited him to see the transfiguration tomorrow, Li Yu resolutely followed Shi Qing, who came to deliver the letter, to the Beijing Grand Theater, found Bing'er, and said that Zhao Banzhu wanted to talk to him if he had time. How could Bing'er refuse a sixty-year-old man's request? I happily agreed. Shi Qing took Li Yu to Bing'er's room, and after greetings, Li Yu asked where the repertoire staged by Bing'er's benevolence class came from.
