……
Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou City, People's Grand Theater.
Zhang Liuling laboriously took off the heavy costume on his body, and his whole body was wet, all covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his face was pale, showing a layer of gray gas, like a patient who had just recovered from a long-term illness.
"It's less than half an hour before I can't take it. Can't you sing big dramas anymore? Zhang Liuling thought with a dim look in his eyes.
Zhang Liuling was born in 1995, 24 years old this year, born in a drama family, and has been singing big operas since his grandfather's generation. Grandpa sings big operas, my father sings big operas, and he also sings big operas. He has been on stage since he was 3 years old. At the age of 5, he put on his own makeup and followed his father to perform in various places.
In modern times, where the pace of life is getting faster and faster, many traditions are gradually disappearing. Although traditional opera has been vigorously protected and promoted by the state, and there has been a boom in listening to opera in recent years, it is still inevitable that it will decline under the impact of the tide of the times. Up to now, not many young people are willing to learn to sing.
Among the peers Zhang Liuling knew, even the children of opera families no longer learn to sing, and some people like modern dance and modern music. More people are busy with life.
Zhang Liuling was envied by many people, envying him for singing big operas, but at the same time, he was ridiculed by more people, ridiculing him for being a fool, what age is it, and he still clings to the past.
Zhang Liuling didn't defend either, whenever others argued with him, he laughed it off.
Zhang Liuling doesn't think that singing big operas is backward. Because of his love from the bottom of his heart, he regarded singing as his all. Treat it as a lifelong career to love.
If there is no accident, Zhang Liuling will keep singing until he can't sing, and at the same time pass on his singing skills to prevent the ancient culture from being lost.
However, an accident. Zhang Liuling's life was completely disrupted. When he was invited to perform last year, the stage suddenly collapsed, and he fell to the ground, causing a comminuted fracture of the leg bone in his right leg!
The three-meter-high stage suddenly fell from above. Not dying was considered a great luck, and Zhang Liuling felt fortunate afterwards, but when the doctor told him that his right leg could no longer move as freely as before, his happiness immediately turned into great fear, because it meant that he could no longer sing.
Sure enough, although it has been half a year since he recovered, his right leg still can't stand it, and he struggles very hard when singing, and he can't hold on for half an hour.
This feeling is very bad, and it makes Zhang Liuling feel that life is worse than death.
"Liuling, haven't you gone back yet?" Liu Hong, the actress who walked very quietly with him in the troupe, walked over, looked at him like this, and immediately showed a look of pity and sympathy on her face, and asked, "How are you?" Does it matter? ”
Liu Hong is not very beautiful, and her face is very attractive, but she is very temperamental, knowledgeable, and a flower in the troupe. Zhang Liuling likes Liu Hong and knows that Liu Hong has a good impression of him. If it hadn't been for that accident, he would have confessed to Liu Hong by now.
But now, looking at Liu Honghong's fluttering beautiful face, Zhang Liuling felt a deep inferiority complex for the first time, as soon as his gaze touched Liu Hong, he immediately moved away, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired, just take a rest." ”
Liu Hong's heart hurt as much as a needle prick, she felt that she should help Zhang Liuling, so she mustered up the courage to ask, "Liuling, what are your plans in the future?" ”
Zhang Liuling smiled bitterly: "What are my plans now?" Perhaps, I should quit the opera industry and go outside to find an ordinary job and live an ordinary life. ”
Liu Hong said loudly: "You have been learning to sing since you were a child, and until now, what can you do when you go outside?" Do you want to give up on the dream you've always had? The Zhang Liuling I know is not a person who admits defeat lightly! ”
"No matter how great a dream is, it also needs the support of the body, and the body is the capital of a career. With my current body, I can't sing at all, and even if I have ambitions, I can only do nothing. Zhang Liuling said helplessly, with a bitter look on his face.
"No, there must be a way!" Liu Hong retorted excitedly, her face even redder.
Zhang Liuling glanced at her deeply, as if he wanted to engrave her voice and appearance in the depths of his heart: "Liu Hong, thank you!" But you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have just figured it out, there is more than one way for people to live in the world. Since I can't sing, I won't sing, I'm still young, and it's still too late to change careers. ”
Liu Hong smiled bitterly.
While talking, the two walked out of the theater.
"What's your dream?" On the surface of a tall building on the side of the street, a calm voice came from a huge electronic screen.
The two turned their heads to see that a TV program was playing on the screen, it was CCTV's "Brilliant Chinese", and the conspicuous position on the screen was "Zhao Xingchi" among the three judges, and he asked a question on the stage about a beautiful woman dressed as an ethnic minority who had just finished singing a folk song.
"My dream is to be a singer, make a record, make money, improve my family's life, and support my brother with his surgery." The minority beauty replied very seriously, looking neither sad nor happy.
"You're honest!" Stephen Zhao commented.
Subsequently, the ethnic minority beauties talked about the family situation in detail and answered the questions of the other two judges.
I have to say that the hardships of ethnic minority beauty families are really distressing and sad. Moments later, the three judges gave the green light and agreed to her clearance.
The overwhelming applause immediately came from the power of the electronic screen.
"Liuling, why don't you go to participate in "Brilliant Chinese"?" Liu Hong suddenly said.
"Brilliant Chinese?" Zhang Liuling was taken aback, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't have any other special talents except singing, and I can't pass the test if I participate." ”
Liu Hong argued: "That's not necessarily, you can actually go up and sing, even if you can't finish singing, but with your skills, it's still no problem to sing a paragraph, when the time comes, tell what happened to you, and then tell Xing Ye that your dream is to heal your leg injury and continue singing, they will definitely let you pass." ”
Zhang Liuling frowned, and said a little angrily: "Use this method to win sympathy, I'd rather not go!" ”
Liu Hong stomped her feet angrily: "Why are you so stubborn?" ”
Zhang Liuling smiled bitterly: "Liu Hong, I know that you are for my good, but I really can't do this kind of sympathetic thing, and it's not that I can't live without singing." ”
Liu Hong said coldly: "I think you are simply dying to save face and suffer crimes!" ”
Zhang Liuling suddenly stopped talking.
The two ended up breaking up.
Zhang Liuling returned home, mentioned the matter to his father, and asked Zhang Tong's opinion: "Dad, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Tong was silent for a while, and said slowly: "You have gone into a misunderstanding, singing is not just your kind. I've been thinking about which plays are suitable for you to play with your physical condition these days, and after thinking about it, I finally found a kind of play that is most suitable for you, and I believe you can definitely play it well. ”
"What play?" Zhang Liuling was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked.
"Monkey play!" Zhang Tong replied, then got up and went back to the study to get a book and throw it to him.
Zhang Liuling took the book and immediately saw three gilded characters "Journey to the West" on the cover!
"Journey to the West? Monkey play? Can I really do it? Zhang Liuling will be skeptical.
What kind of book is "Journey to the West", of course Zhang Liuling knows, it is Xing Ye's masterpiece, and it is the most popular novel of gods and demons in recent times. Zhang Tong threw "Journey to the West" to me, and said that acting in a monkey play, could it be that I should play "Monkey King"?
Zhang Tong's words proved his guess, and Zhang Tong said: "That's right, I'm going to let you play Sun Wukong." And didn't you just say that Liu Hong encouraged you to participate in "Brilliant Chinese People"? I think you should listen to Liu Hong and go to participate in "Brilliant Chinese", maybe this is an opportunity for you! ”
Zhang Liuling subconsciously asked, "What chance?" ”
Zhang Tong scolded with a smile: "Silly boy, of course it is the opportunity to star in the Monkey King in the "Journey to the West" TV series!" ”
Zhang Liuling reacted at this time, and was suddenly surprised and delighted, scratching his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to say, which provoked Zhang Tong to laugh and scold again: "Look at your current appearance, you are a monkey alive." ”
Zhang Liuling sneered: "Am I really suitable?" ”
Zhang Tong waved his hand and explained: "You have also learned monkey play, although you are not as proficient as other plays, but the time has come." What's more, your body is thin and weak, and the current problem with your right leg makes you walk crookedly, which is actually the most suitable appearance for acting in monkey plays. ”
Zhang Liuling smiled bitterly when he heard it, but he was no longer discouraged, he regained his fighting spirit, he stood up and said loudly: "I'll sign up!" (To be continued......)
