3. Win by surprise and conquer people's hearts
Praise as a science, its mystery is endless, "know how to do" is a very important rule, the essence of "know how to do" is to be able to grasp the essence of the things praised, do not speak layman's language, so that others sound sophisticated, mature, so as to be convinced of your praise.
Once, when Zhao Peixin introduced Tang Zaojin to Master Cheng Yanqiu, he praised him: "This is Tang Zaijin, a top student of St. John's University, in Zaojin to the old students, Tsing Yi, Hua Dan are all very good, recently I have been concentrating on your Cheng dialect, according to what I heard, it is exactly the same as Zhou Changhua."
At that time, Tang Zaijin was studying Huqin from Zhou Changhua, hanging his voice for Peking Opera, and he was still a little-known young man, Cheng Yanqiu was a master of Peking Opera and a famous artist in Liyuan, if Zhao Peixin did not have a considerable level of introduction, this young man might not attract Cheng Yanqiu's attention. Zhao Peixin introduced very well, and his terms, such as "Lao Sheng, Tsing Yi, Hua Dan", were used appropriately and skillfully, showing that he has a certain study of Peking Opera, has a certain appreciation of Peking Opera talents, and has the vision of "Bole", and generally will not be wrong. In particular, he said that he was concentrating on the Cheng cavity founded by Cheng Yanqiu in Zaojin, which made the master even more happy.
Secondly, you must have a certain level of attainment in a certain line, and your praise will be accepted by insiders and regard you as a confidant and friend. Or take Tang Zaojin as an example, Tang Zaojin's conversation with Cheng Yanqiu shows this young man's understanding and understanding of Peking Opera.
Cheng: "You learn Huqin from Changhua?"
Tang: "Well, I've been studying with Mr. Zhou for three years. ”
Cheng: "Do you want to learn drama?"
Don: "Learn too." ”
Cheng: "Okay (nodded with a smile), just now, Pei Xin said that you originally pulled Yu Yuchen Laosheng?"
Tang: "Yes, I did his performance, but I like to pull Tsing Yi, and I like your play even more!"
……
Tang: "Your singing voice is deep, delicate, rhythmic, novel and beautiful, full of changes, especially melancholy, rich in feelings, and contains rich content......
Cheng Yanqiu listened intently, and his gaze gradually became soft and deep. Finally he happily said, "Good! Our Peking Opera must be improved, that is, we need college students with a high level of education to participate in it. You're welcome!" Later, the two became close friends.
Tang Zaijin's praise of Cheng Yanqiu reveals his attainments in Peking Opera everywhere, if he doesn't understand this truth and can't make such an expert and unique evaluation of Cheng Pai's singing, how can Master Cheng Yanqiu easily welcome him?
As a famous quyi artist, there is no shortage of admirers around Cheng Yanqiu, and the voices of praise are endless, but Tang Zaijin's insightful and insightful analysis, hearty and elegant analysis, deeply moved Cheng Yanqiu.
This story tells us that to praise others to stand at a certain height, only by standing tall can we fully explore the significance of others' strengths and achievements, and pay attention to examining the influence range of others' achievements or strengths, so as to make your praise more specific and appropriate, so as to achieve a surprising and winning effect.
Of course, this requires a wide range of knowledge and a high level of literacy.
