In the shouts of "open the book" and "open the book" in the long voice, the two slowly walked through the crowd to the stage. In front of the stage, Qian Dingzhang stopped and made a gesture of invitation, signaling Lu Zuixian to take the stage first. As a hard-working white-collar worker in the 21st century, crawling in the office building all day long, letting the lady go first has become a conditioned reflex, and I don't feel how at this time. Lu Zuixian was stunned, looking at his outstretched right arm and not knowing what to do.

"Mr. Lu, please first"

"Oh, oh, thank you, thank you" After finishing speaking, he lifted the hem of the front piece of the cheongsam slightly and swayed on the stage.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the audience applauded. After Qian Lu smiled and thanked him, Lu Zuixian pretended to be surprised and asked, "Mr. Qian, why did you come to the stage, today is me and my sister-in-law's partner, you made a mistake, go down quickly"

Qian Dingzhang's face was solemn, his right hand gently patted his forehead and slowly stroked it down, his facial expression also changed, his eyebrows were wrinkled, his eyes were like fighting cocks, and his nose was crooked.

As soon as the audience saw Qian Dingzhang like this, they were already happy before he could speak. Qian Dingzhang deliberately hummed his nose and said, "Just now I heard the owner of the bookstore say that Mr. Lu is the red corner of Shencheng, and we are a novel book that runs to the dock, and I want to rub the red corner, so this book is my partner."

Lu Zuixian feigned anger, "You go away, this is my and my sister's bookend, oops, it's already open, this little ghost girl is not serious, where is the person"

Qian Dingzhang laughed again, "Uh-huh, I already knew that you didn't want to, so your sister was detained by me with immortal methods, and I will naturally return her to you after you honestly sing this show with me?" ”

"Returning the immortal law? You sang "Three Laughs" alone, how can you come to sing "Fengshen Bang" today? , To be honest, fairy law, you will and I will too, little Niangyu (Suzhou dialect, little girl), I will conjure him out, hum"

"Huh!?" Qian Dingzhang pretended to be shocked.

Lu Zuixian began to chant words, and just as the audience was listening intently to what she was reading, a small head with a double bun suddenly poked out from the curtain behind the two, who was He Ruoxi.

I saw her walk to the front of the stage in three steps and two steps, and called out sweetly, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Lu Zuixian interrupted her by eating her, so he was angry, "You little ghost girl, but you will come out later, let me pretend to be a ghost to scare this silverfish?" ”

Over there, Qian Dingzhang pretended not to hear the conversation between the two, and shouted, "Oh, it's not good, the white lady appeared and changed Xiaoqing out."

The listeners remembered that in the first half, when he sang "Catch White", he compared Shuangshu to two snakes in blue and white.

Qian Dingzhang saw that at this time, the cousin was carrying the kettle to refill the water one by one, and said in his mind, "Hey, cousin, let me tell you to pay attention, now that Bai Niangniang is on the stage with Xiaoqing, you have to concentrate on pouring water, don't look at it with your eyes, otherwise the copper cho will be poured into someone else's head and neck, and something big will happen?" ”

"Boom" everyone in the audience collapsed, and some listeners coaxed, "You little gentleman is not happy, you have to divide the upper and lower costs for a gimmick"

"Yes, yes, it's a gimmick of yin testing, and it doesn't come out coldly, and I can't even breathe through the laughter."

Qian Dingzhang saw that the atmosphere in the venue was lively, and the impact of the turmoil just now had gradually dissipated, and he plucked the three strings with his right hand and said, "Today, you old listeners are calculating, and you can do big things with a little money."

Wang Laolang took the lead and asked, "If you want to put a gimmick again, you can talk about it, how do you say this?"

"Look, you spent a few copper dollars to listen to the book, and you watched this big change on the stage, I watched Western tricks in the Shencheng World, and you want to charge me two corners of Xiaoyangzai"

When everyone heard this, they looked at He Ruoxi, who had already sat on the performance seat, and thought that it was really like this, I didn't know how this little lady did it, so she suddenly appeared on the stage, and there was a burst of laughter.

Lu Zuixian took over the conversation at the right time, "Forget it, forget it, our sisters don't have the same knowledge as him, or the three files will be counted today"

"Next, please enjoy "Three Laughs, Making Articles on Your Behalf"," He Ruoxi said sweetly.

After officially entering the book, Qian Dingzhang's cold sweat came down, this drunken fairy really didn't just rely on that beautiful face to eat, and he said that the foundation of the four homework of playing and singing was solid enough. But the gap between this sister and the sister was immediately revealed, in the final analysis, she was not experienced enough on the spot, and many times she played and sang hard, thinking that she could win the applause of the audience, and Lu Zuixian brought the atmosphere to her side with a few clever words.

There is an old saying in the line of playing words, "Move your fists and feet on the stage, and recognize your uncle on the stage". Of course, it does not mean that martial arts should be performed on stage, but that once the artist is on stage, he must do his best to perform, and he must not have the mind of releasing water, etc., and when he arrives in the audience, he must talk about the rules in an orderly manner.

At this time, seeing that the whole limelight was about to be robbed by Lu Zuixian, Qian Dingzhang secretly moved, "Damn, I can only make the housekeeper skill." At this time, just as it was his turn to sing, his hands moved slightly, and a string of passionate and high-pitched rhythms gushed out from the three strings in his hands.

There are insiders in the audience, "Oh, I haven't heard this prelude, it's like Xu Tune but not like Xu Tune, and why is the tune so high, the pipa in the lower gear is going to be troublesome."

Qian Dingzhang's so-called housekeeping skill is the prelude melody he recorded from later generations, the three-stringed strings used by lyricists in this period are called "old strings", made of silk, and the only exception in the same period is the Xu tune he learned, Xu Yunzhi, the founder of Xu tune, in order to make the three strings more suitable for his own melody singing creatively used steel wire strings, and the sound of metal strings is more high-pitched and passionate. Originally, the three strings and the pipa played against each other, because the pipa has always used metal strings, so it can always overpower the three strings in terms of timbre and sound quality.

But now, in the face of the sudden popping of Qian Dingzhang, who can play a new prelude to the tightrope strings, Lu Zuixian immediately struggled here, on the one hand, she is the lower hand, and the melody of the pipa must always follow the three strings, and she can't dominate the crowd. Therefore, on the one hand, you must secretly calculate the board eye of the new tune and adjust your own rhythm, and on the other hand, the opponent's tune must be adjusted accordingly. In this way, it slowly slides downwind.

Qian Dingzhang was overjoyed when he saw that the plan was sold, and at the same time, his head was full of cold sweat, "This woman is too powerful, fortunately... He cleared his throat and began to sing, for the intro and passage were fresh, and complemented his modified voice. After singing Qian Dingzhang in six sentences, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, "After today's fooling is over, hurry up and pester the old man to ask him to pass on more stage skills to me, damn it, fortunately, Lao Tzu's brain turned quickly and used the new prelude, otherwise it would have been planted"

He was not happy here, and someone in the audience exclaimed, "Listen, listen, this pipa is starting to open the door."

"Fuck, sister, you're going to play with me today", just now he was still in a cold sweat, and now the hot sweat on his forehead is rising.

The so-called big open door, small open door is the pipa playing jargon, the pipa has four strings, and the syllables of daily accompaniment are generally more on the second and third strings, so some artists have invented the playing method of small open doors: five fingers are mostly concentrated on the second and third strings, so that the space range of finger movement is small, and the high score can be quickly popped, the disadvantage is that the melody level is not rich enough, and the corresponding big open door is to control the four strings at the same time, with the plucked "pin" of the left hand, the difficulty is doubled? ! Strictly speaking, this is not a way to play the lyrics, but some solo pipa techniques, but because of the high difficulty and the extreme energy and physical strength to play, it is rare.

==================== popular science ==================================

The problem of strings, Chinese folk music has always been called silk foot, uh, not silk bamboo, that is, most of the musical instruments are composed of silk strings and bamboo, no wonder the Japanese call China a nation of bamboo, and call themselves a nation of wood. This kind of silk string is also called an old string, and it is also used to tie patients in the classic cross talk "Tooth Extraction".

But since the invention of nylon materials, the troublesome and indurable silk strings have gradually been eliminated, and they are now extinct! The method of making silk strings has also been lost. Sad. It is said that some people in Jiangnan have been studying the restoration over the years, and they don't know how it is progressing.

By the way, the so-called tune. The period of the Republic of China in Beiyang is a period of great development of the lyrics, famous masters, the Jiangnan region has always had the spirit of innovation, and the apprentices who taught are not proud of the master's copy, but try their best to sing their own special tunes. So there is the saying of X tune, Zhang Jianting's Zhang tune, Jiang Yuequan's Jiang tune, Yang Zhenxiong's Yang tune, and so on. It is similar to the X faction in Peking Opera.

The Xu tune sung by Qian Dingzhang is a generation of masters, created by Mr. Xu Yunzhi. Throughout the whole Danci session, whenever a new tune appears, everyone can always hear its inheritance or origin, for example, Mr. Jiang Yuequan's Jiang tune has obvious traces of Zhou tune.

But there are three exceptions, namely Mr. Yang Zhenxiong's Yang tune, Mr. Zhang Jianting's Zhang tune, the former is directly based on Kunqu Opera, all sung by Xiao Sang in a row, elegant rhyme, is the highest achievement of the lyrics. Zhang's tune is different, its source is the early Shaoxing black-headed class, so the singing voice is vigorous and vigorous, and the small bridge and flowing water of Pingtan are very different, so Zhang's Kunzhong only officially entered Shencheng seven times before and after, and became a loud block. In addition, the two sang Xia Hesheng's summer tune at the beginning, but they basically didn't see any related influence in the later period.

These two hardly found their origin from the lyrics but borrowed from other opera arts, but Xu Tune is different, it is completely out of nowhere, and all the changes in singing voice are perfunctory by Mr. Xu Yunzhi alone, which is almost terrifying. And Xu is also a must in cultivating apprentices, the most famous is Yan Xueting, the emperor of Pingdan, and there is a Huashi Pavilion, although the two of them are deep teachers, but they also sing their own strict tunes and Chinese tunes on stage. In 04, Mr. Hua Shiting, who was nearly eighty years old, participated in the meeting, and in the face of the audience, the old gentleman specially brought two strings to the stage, and sang a few words of Xu tune with the steel strings, and the audience cheered. The following year, Hua Lao died. There is this video on station b.
