"It was awkward at the beginning, I was the only boy in the class, and I didn't want to learn women in front of them, but if I had such an idea, I couldn't sing well, and the things I made wouldn't look good." Qin Sizhe smiled shyly, "That time was when I was most confused, my father was more determined to think that he thought I was wrong, and then I thought clearly, whether the actor is male or female, he is just a carrier of the characters in the play, whether it is a smile or a look on the stage, it must conform to the prescribed state of the characters in the play." ”

A child who is only fifteen or sixteen years old can say such a thing, which makes Ying Ru very shocked, but more shocked.

In fact, before she filmed this documentary, she knew very little about Peking Opera, and if it weren't for her grandmother's love of listening to operas, she wouldn't even know about Du Chengqi.

The reason why she decided to choose this topic was really that she was repeatedly rejected by the topic, so she thought about it quickly, and the topic selection materials she handed in were all learned about her on the Internet, but after nearly two or three months of filming, she had a different understanding of Peking Opera.

Especially when this group of people are still working hard for this declining art, it is a different kind of touch.

At the end of the filming at the art school, Ying Ru invited the three children out for a meal, and when they separated, she hugged the three of them seriously, and then said to the three children seriously: "You will definitely succeed!" ”

After she said this, Qin Sizhe suddenly shed tears, and he hugged Ying Ru tightly, crying silently.

Ying Ru gently patted his back, Meng Xi on the side saw Qin Sizhe crying, and finally couldn't hold back crying, Tao Tao was young, naturally he couldn't understand the pressure on the two elder brothers, she studied opera, and it was supported by her family.

Tao Tao gently grabbed Meng Xi's hand: "Brother Meng, don't cry." ”

Meng Xi wiped his tears with some embarrassment, and Qin Sizhe also stood up straight, looking at Ying Ru's clothes that were wet with his own tears, and he was also very embarrassed.

Ying Ru felt sad for a while, and then stretched out his hand and patted the hands of the three children: "Go in, and contact you often in the future." ”

The three children nodded heavily and walked into the school together.

Ying Ru watched the three children enter the school gate, and then turned around, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure standing next to his car, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.

"Why are you here?" She was overjoyed and hurriedly walked over.

Lu Sinian smiled and held her hand: "Bai Wenyuan told me." ”

When they were filming, they often couldn't be contacted because the mobile phone was silent, so Lu Sinian asked Ying Ru to give him the numbers of the other three people, and today Ying Ru invited the three children to dinner, and the other three people naturally attended, but they were separated at the door of the hotel, and Ying Ru drove the three children back to school alone.

"Shooting is over?" After the two returned to the car, Lu Sinian asked.

Ying Ru shook his head: "Du Chengqi always feels that there are still shortcomings, but he can't remember it." ”

In fact, Du Chengqi lacks storytelling, and documentaries also need storytelling, but because the biggest feature of documentaries is authenticity, they can't fabricate it.

It's a good job of shooting at the art school, and there are all kinds of contradictions and conflicts in the three children.

"Forget it, if you can't do it, you can only use the art school as the main line."

What Yingru didn't expect was that just as they were about to end the shooting and put into post-editing, two things happened at once.

The first is the death of Tang Wenbin, the successor of the "Tang School", at the age of eighty-two, which is just a sad news for the public, but for the male actors who are now rare, this seems to herald the official end of an era. Mr. Tang Wenbin's father was the famous Peking Opera performing arts master Tang Tingsheng, who developed and improved the singing and performing arts of Peking Opera Danjiao in his more than 50 years of stage life, forming an art genre with a unique style, known as the "Tang School".

The death of Mr. Tang Wenbin was a big shock in the entire opera industry.

The second, the death of Mr. Tang Wenbin, a memorial service was held in the imperial capital, and a person named Yu Yuan came back from the United States.

Ying Ru was originally going to film Mr. Tang Wenbin's memorial service into the documentary, and after obtaining the consent of Mr. Tang's family, they filmed Mr. Tang's memorial service, and Du Chengqi naturally attended.

What Ying Ru didn't expect was that there was a person named Yu Yuan who attended Mr. Tang's memorial service, and he had an inextricable relationship with Du Chengqi.

After the memorial service, Yu Yuan walked to Du Chengqi: "Long time no see." ”

Du Chengqi bowed slightly: "Fat." ”

Yu Yuan smiled: "You have lost weight." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yu Yuan offered to invite Du Chengqi to dinner.

When they arrived at the restaurant, after ordering the food, Yu Yuan looked at Ying Ru and the few of them with a smile: "You can also sit." ”

"No need." should be so hurriedly excused.

"Sit down." Du Chengqi looked at the four of them with a smile, "It's rare for him to come back once, you must slaughter him well." ”

"You're film school students?" Yu Yuan asked with a smile.

Seeing that Ying was like a chin, Yu Yuan seemed to sigh a little: "It would be nice if there were people who could pay attention to Peking Opera like you." ”

Du Chengqi smiled slightly: "Then won't you leave?" ”

This sentence seemed to ask Yu Yuan's sore spot, he smiled awkwardly, and quickly pulled the topic to something else.

Yu Yuan is the apprentice of Mr. Tang Wenbin, who followed him to learn Danjiaoer, but when he was approaching thirty, he went abroad and stopped doing this business, no one blamed him, after all, Peking Opera has declined, and there are always people who have higher pursuits.

There are still a few people like Du Chengqi who have been watching.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic finally returned to Peking Opera.

"Peking Opera is a thing that must be diligent in order to produce results, if you are not diligent and do not work hard, you will not be able to achieve any results, how much you practice underneath, how much you can perform on the stage, this is proportional" Yu Yuan seemed to be a little drunk, taking advantage of the good atmosphere, he came to a throat, and he could still see the skills of the year.

But Yu Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "I'm old, I can't practice for so many years." After a pause, he seemed to sigh with emotion, "Ten years ago, I played a male dan, and I was a male actor in our school." Now ten years have passed, and there are still no new male dancers coming out of the school, the general environment is like this, Cheng Qi, if you want me to say, you take advantage of your current fame, hurry up and develop a side business, whether it is to develop in the entertainment industry, or to the side, don't drill to death on this road. ”

"Do you want to learn from you?" Du Cheng looked at him with a smile, "The decline of Peking Opera is related to the general environment, but it has nothing to do with you people who give up halfway?" ”

This sentence made Yu Yuan's wine seem to wake up a little, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.

"If they went to your previous school during this time, there was another boy in the school who sang Danjiao, two generations of the family were from Rong, his parents and grandparents didn't let him learn, and if he didn't rap well, he would go home, you know how difficult it is for your school to evaluate every time, that child is under such double pressure, and he insists on learning drama, Yu Yuan, he makes me respect more than you."

Du Chengqi stood up, picked up his bag, and looked at Yu Yuan with a slightly cold gaze: "I didn't go with you at the beginning, I regretted it in the middle, and now I am very happy, because we pursue differently, I heard that you just gave birth to a little daughter recently, treat your wife well, and when you return to China in the future, I will invite you to dinner, but today, I will go back first." ”

Yu Yuan listened to her words, stood up, and his eyes fell on her: "You haven't found anyone until now......"

"It's none of your business." Du Chengqi smiled, "Don't think too much, it takes fate to meet the right person, even if we had a fate, but that's all in the past, I'll leave first, and I'll contact you later." ”

When they saw Du Chengqi going out, they hurriedly helped pack up the machine and prepared to catch up.

Just as he was packing up the machine, Yu Yuan suddenly stopped Ying Rushi.

"Little girl."

"Uncle, is there anything wrong with you?" Ying smiled politely.

Yu Yuan glanced at the other three: "Can I talk to her alone?" ”

Bai Wenyuan turned his head to look at Ying Rus, and saw that she didn't speak, so he said to her, "Then we'll go out and wait for you." ”

When only Yu Yuan and Ying Ru were left, Yu Yuan suddenly smiled bitterly: "Little girl, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"Uncle, you say."

Yu Yuan slowly took out a ring made of glass from his pocket and handed it to Ying Rusi: "This, please help me hand it over to her, okay?" ”

Ying Ru took the ring and nodded: "Okay." ”

"Little girl, can I trouble you, don't make this into your film, okay?"

Ying Ru listened to his words, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately listened to Yu Yuan explain: "Oh, I mean the part where the two of us talked. ”

"Uncle Yu, the machine has been put away, and it hasn't been photographed." Ying said with a smile.

Yu Yuan waved his hand: "I know, I mean, doesn't your documentary have a commentary?" I asked you to help with this paragraph, don't talk about going in? ”

"Okay." It should be like this, with a slight bow.

Bai Wen Yuanyuan walked out as such, hurriedly greeted him, and asked, "What is he looking for you for?" ”

Ying Ru said what Yu Yuan asked her to help with, and then said, "What about Teacher Du?" ”

"She said she would go back first."

Ying Ru bowed slightly, Du Chengqi should have been in a very bad mood in the past two days, Mr. Tang's death, and today's dinner with Yu Yuan, if it was Ying Ru, it would be very uncomfortable.
