Chapter 71: Changing Faces (2)

In the dressing room, Kun Long had completed all the preparations, makeup and hairstyle, he sat on the sofa in his performance costume, looked at the big TV on the wall and couldn't help laughing.

Instead of a comedy movie, it was a live broadcast of the stage.

When he heard Xiao Yi's sentence "change face", he almost thought that he had heard it wrong, until a few seconds later, when he saw the reaction of the on-site judges, he knew that he had heard it correctly, Xiao Yi, who had always been regarded as his biggest opponent, actually performed a face change.

After laughing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that the scene when Xiao Yi came on the field did have a great impact on his heart, so much so that he subconsciously regarded Xiao Yi as his biggest enemy, and even a minute ago he was still apprehensive in his heart, but at this moment, after learning that Xiao Yi was going to perform a change of face, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

A long breath came out, and Kunlong's face, which was more handsome after makeup, became gloomy, and there was hatred in his eyes.

"When I finale, I will definitely let all the sighs just now turn into cheers" Kun Long gritted his teeth, and his fist was clenched to death: "And you Xiao Yi, I remember you, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, you will pay the price for what you did today, definitely!" ”

……

"This kid thinks this is an acrobatic troupe, are you here to perform acrobatics?" The magic world leader who was in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law for his apprentice snorted.

Another master of the magic world who had not yet found an apprentice retorted: "How can this change of face not be considered magic?" ”

The face change of Sichuan Opera is one of the stunts of Sichuan Opera performance, which is used to reveal the changes in the hearts, thoughts and feelings of the characters in the play, that is, to transform the invisible and imperceptible abstract emotions and psychological states into visible and perceptible concrete images - faces. Sichuan opera face change is a kind of stunt used in the art of Sichuan opera to shape characters. It is a romantic technique that reveals the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters in the play.

There is still a debate about whether the face change is magic and acrobatics!

Acrobatics and magic are the accumulation of ten years of work on and off the stage, the difference is that a real knife and a real gun, and a hidden knife, the common point is that they are all playing with knives.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Gan's eyes, who was sitting on the side.

Regardless of whether this face change is magic or not. Even if it is, who has never seen this face change, magic is a novelty, so as long as the magician who is a little more advanced disdainfully performs the magic performed by others.

Some people define magic as a "show that makes people feel incredible", and if the audience has seen it, then what is incredible?

So in Liu Gan's view, these five minutes were purely wasted, because no one was destined to marvel at his performance.

In the audience, Ling Hongsleeve smiled from ear to ear: "Change your face, when will even those who sing can enter your black magic?" ”

Wang Ya kept a calm face and did not speak. Lily on the side turned pale with nervousness.

"Please, the next time you ask for foreign aid, please be professional, this will be a plastic surgery and a singing drama, who did you invite?" Ling Hongsleeve played with his fingernails and said casually.

Wang Ya was still silent and did not speak.

The reason why Ling Hongsleeve didn't say it on the surface about inviting foreign aid was because Kun Long was not a member of the Vision Magic Association, strictly speaking. Everyone is asking for foreign aid, so it is tacit in this matter.

Lili, who is also from the Black Arts Magic Association on the side, was in a panic, if Xiao Yi really changed his face on stage, the chance of winning was almost zero. There is no doubt about that.

In the judges' seat, the two giants of the magic world were still talking, and their tones were much softened, without the previous-for-tat meaning. It's more like an academic discussion.

Liu Gan on the side still listened silently and didn't say a word.

"When I was young, I once went to S Sichuan to visit the face changing master Peng Sihong, and I know a little bit about face changing!" The old man, who had no apprentice, said softly.

The old man, who was anxious to help his apprentice find his daughter-in-law, shook his brows in shock. There was a look of shock on his face full of folds: "You mean that late Peng Sihong?" ”

"Well, it's him, the only person in history who can change his face by luck!"

"Luck has changed?"

The old man who didn't have an apprentice continued: "There are three kinds of face changing, namely wiping the face, blowing the face, and pulling the face.

"Facial makeup is applied to a specific part of the face, and then you can change the face with your hands."

"Face blowing is only suitable for powdered cosmetics such as gold powder, toner, silver powder, etc. Some people put a very small box on the floor of the stage, filled with powder, and the actor then does a dance move on the ground, and when he takes the opportunity to blow his face close to the box, the powder pounces on his face, and immediately changes to a face of another color."

"Pulling the face is relatively complicated but it is also the most common, it is to draw the face mask on a piece of silk in advance, cut it, tie a handful of silk thread on each face, and then stick it on the face one by one. Silk threads are tied in a convenient and unobtrusive part of the garment (e.g., on a belt). As the plot progresses, under the cover of dance moves, tear it off one by one......"

"As for the change of luck and face, it has now become a legend, but I saw it with my own eyes at that time, when Mr. Peng Sihong played Zhuge Liang in "The Empty City Strategy", when the qin boy reported that Sima Yi's soldiers had retreated, he was able to use qigong to make his face turn from red to white, and then from white to blue, showing the kind of palpitations after being relieved to the fullest."

The old man, who was in a hurry to help his apprentice, was surprised: "I didn't expect you to even dabble in these?" ”

"Oh, I'm afraid of your jokes, let me tell you, there are still many places where you have to admire me"

"Come on, you've heard you say so much, what do you think this kid on stage is about to perform?"

"I don't know" shook his head, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and continued: "He didn't wear a costume, and he didn't have makeup on his face, whether it was wiping his face, blowing his face, or pulling his face!" ”

"Could it be that luck has changed face?"

"If you change your face by luck, you have to paint your face, he doesn't paint anything on his face, he becomes a fart!"

When he heard this, Liu Gan's body shook, and a trace of curiosity suddenly flashed in his indifferent eyes.

In the audience, sixty percent of the audience is already drowsy, whether it is the roar of applause or the shouts of excitement, it is obviously not as good as before, if this situation is not surprising, it is very likely to continue until the end of Xiao Yi's performance.

Obviously, it wasn't a good playing time.

Syllable!

The lights go out, and the spotlight shines on Xiao Yi's body, which means that the time for the performance has come.

"Even if you want to change your face, you need special props and costumes, right?" Lily clutched Wang Ya's sleeve tightly.

Wang Ya's brows were so frowning that she was about to wring out the water, and she didn't say a word, staring blankly at the figure on the stage.

Some trusts, not innate, are more indestructible.

The magic trick he played since he was a child failed somewhere...... And when there was a robbery, he ventured to call the police alone...... And a few days ago, I heard that he stayed at the bottom of the sea by himself in order to save others......

All these things invisibly changed Wang Ya's opinion of Xiao Yi, and inadvertently made this girl unconditionally begin to trust Xiao Yi, even if it was the whole world that didn't trust him.

Therefore, until now, Wang Ya still wants to say to Lily: "Trust him, he won't let us down!" ”

It's just that I don't know why, but the words came to my mouth but didn't say it, which doesn't mean that the trust is not firm enough, on the contrary, it is precisely because she is so firm that she is too firm to explain this inexplicable trust to anyone in exchange for the approval of others.

……

On the stage, Xiao Yi looked in the direction of the audience, and a confident smile appeared on his handsome face.

In a trance, Wang Ya seemed to see that under this smile, the handsome face changed.

Her eyes widened and she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.

Lily noticed the change in Wang Ya's expression, and couldn't help but turn her face away, her face suddenly changed, and her mouth opened wide.

Ling Hongsleeve, who had already eliminated Xiao Yi from the list of opponents, looked at the scene on the stage and frowned.

On the judges' seat, Liu Gan's pupils shrank, he sat up straight suddenly, and leaned forward, as if he wanted to see it more realistically.

The two leaders of the magic world also noticed the change in Xiao Yi on the stage, and the two faces full of wrinkles were shocked at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people noticed Xiao Yi's changes, and the audience was terrifyingly quiet, but more and more viewers were woken up by their companions.

At this moment, the entire gymnasium was silent, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on the thin and slender figure, and their faces were the same, and they all had big mouths, shocked.

On the stage, Xiao Yi's face slowly changed under everyone's gaze, and his face shape, contour, nose, eyes, and mouth were all changing, as if a pair of invisible hands were fabricating.

This kind of change is different from the change of face in the impression, it is not a different face in an instant, there is no heavy and complicated costume in the impression, and there is not even the iconic face.

His face was so unobstructed that it slowly squirmed under the gaze of everyone, until a few seconds later, it completely changed into a different face.

Offstage, Liu Gan's eyes widened, even as a world-class magician, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.

Because what happened on stage was incredible.

That face is extremely familiar to Liu Gan, more familiar than anything, because......

That's his face!

At this moment, the audience was shocked!!

……

At the same time, at the corner of the stairwell on the second floor of the Harbour Stadium, this is a voided stairway, piled up with a lot of scrap, and there seems to be a faint sound of metal crashing.

Following the prestige, I saw an iron chain and the handrail of the stairwell tied to it, and something seemed to be pulling at the other end of the chain.

Looking around, it turned out to be a person.

"Number three, I'm exposed, and now I'm locked by him to the railing on the corner of the second floor!" The ruffian gritted his teeth, but finally decided to call for help. (To be continued......)
