Chapter 431: Class Separately
Qian Chang whispered to Muyang: "You say, this won't scare those American children, if one or two are scared, let's not explain to the education department in Houston, the law in the United States is very fucked." ”
There is no stage for this performance, it is basically a face-to-face performance, and the performers are only five or six meters away from the audience.
"Brother Qian, then what do you think." Muyang also felt that this was not very reliable.
"Why don't we contact other cities and see if there's a suitable one." Qian Chang said.
"It's a long way away, it's only 10 minutes of performance time in total, and it's not a big stage, and you have to bring a lot of family affairs, so it's not easy to say." Mu Yang scratched his head and said.
"Don't worry about it for now, let's try it, it's really not okay to talk to the leaders, just let the old men go, I think the children of the United States will not be so fragile." Qian Chang said.
The two took out their phones and connected.
However, they were unlucky, they contacted Chinese organizations in several cities, and after listening to the performance for a few minutes, they had to run hundreds or thousands of kilometers, and the other party directly refused.
Mu Yang and Qian Chang scratched their heads, did they really let the old men go up and call their voices, it was too unaesthetic.
At this time, Muyang's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something, and tried to say to Qian Chang: "Brother Qian, is Sichuan Opera okay?" ”
"You have contacted the performer of Sichuan Opera, what kind of drama?" Qian Chang said curiously.
"Change your face, Sichuan Opera change your face." Muyang Road.
"Change your face," Qian Chang said with joy on his face: "I've seen this on TV, it's very interesting." It's like performing a magic trick, and I guess the kids will enjoy it. Some of the people you connect with can perform face changing. ”
Mu Yang shook his head and said, "No." ”
"And what do you say he's doing?" Qian Chang's face fell.
"I will." Muyang Road.
"You will, you will perform a face-changing. Aren't you from the capital? Qian Chang wondered.
"Does this have anything to do with where the people are, can't the people of the capital eat Sichuan hot pot?" Mu Yang said.
"That's great, you show me one." Qian Chang urged.
"I'm going to go back and prepare the performance props, don't look at it for just a few minutes, it's very troublesome to perform." Muyang Road.
"Okay, let's go back to the Consulate General."
Bidding farewell to a few opera lovers who were still entertaining themselves, Muyang and Qian Chang returned to the Consulate General, and Muyang returned to the room and traveled to the time and space of the Anti-Japanese War.
Do you want to say that Muyang really knows how to change his face? He really learned, and there was a full set of guys, costumes, face masks, and even fire-breathing devices.
During the Anti-Japanese War, many Chinese fled the country to escape the war, and in 1942, Chang Maonian took his family to Sweden.
Chang Maonian is a famous Sichuan opera performer in Chengdu, although he is not a master, but he is also one of the leaders, and once studied under the Sichuan opera performance master Fang Kuian. In 1942, Chang Mao was 30 years old, which was a good age for experienced and strong people, but because of the war. had to go elsewhere.
When he was performing in the past, he met Nils, a businessman from Denmark who came to China to sell glass. The business is also unsatisfactory, after watching Chang Maonian's performance. I was impressed by the art of changing the face of this Sichuan opera, and I wanted to ask for the mystery at that time.
But since ancient times. Sichuan opera's face change is the biggest secret of the master, and after entering, you need to swear a heavy oath and never disclose it to the public, so Chang Maonian will not tell Nils, but the two have become friends.
As the war intensified and many people felt precarious, Nils was ready to return home, and he approached Chang Maonian before leaving, and asked him if he would follow him to Denmark and perform the art there.
At this time, the domestic turmoil, many people have become a problem to eat, Chang Maonian's income is also deteriorating, and the daily income is only enough for a family's population, and finally under the persuasion of Nils, Chang Maonian resolutely sold his house in Chengdu, plus Niels's donation, only to scrape together enough money for a family's ferry ticket, and embarked on a long journey.
But before arriving in Denmark, they heard that Denmark had been occupied by the Germans, and even Niels could not go back, so the two families had to disembark in Malmö. Malmö is separated from Copenha, the capital of Denmark, by only a strait of about a dozen nautical miles.
finally settled, Nils also lost his job, became Chang Maonian's agent, Chang Mao began his own acting career, but the people here are not very acceptable to this art from the East, and people are more interested in treating it as a kind of magic.
In any case, Chang Maonian has an income, which can be regarded as being able to support his family, and it is quite stable here, so he lives peacefully.
Muyang saw Chang Maonian who was invited to perform at a cocktail party for a local wealthy businessman in Malmö, and was very happy to be able to see his hometown people thousands of miles away.
When the two met, they naturally told each other about their hometown, Chang Maonian learned that Japan had been defeated, and after the victory of the country, he was also happy to leave tears, and he had to stay away from Chongyang because of those little Japan, and came here to make a living.
Nils is now Chang Maonian's agent, and he often comes into contact with the upper echelons of Malmo, so he naturally knows that Muyang is such a wealthy Chinese businessman, and he is naturally happy to be able to get in touch with Muyang.
Muyang and Chang Maonian became friends, and the two families also moved around each other, Muyang was also very curious about the Sichuan opera face, after watching the performance, he checked the content about this on the Internet, and found that there were a lot of teaching CDs and costumes and props sold on the Internet.
Mu Yang was curious, and also bought a set, with clothes, masks, and fire-breathing props, which was quite complete, but after fiddling with it for a long time, he found that he couldn't enter the door.
Finally, I have to consult Chang Maonian, Chang Maonian has been in Sweden for more than three years, and he also knows that his skill is not so valued abroad, and he has become good friends with Muyang, and he may have to ask this friend to take care of him.
In the end, Chang Maonian told Mu Yang that he could give him the know-how, but he was not allowed to pass it on at will, after all, if this thing spread, it would actually smash many people's jobs, and Master Zu would blame him.
Muyang didn't point to this thing to eat, it was just curiosity and hobby, so he naturally agreed.
There are generally three types of face changing techniques: 'wiping face', 'blowing face', and 'pulling face'. In addition, there is a kind of 'luck' that changes face. In fact, what you often see is that you pull your face, and the performance of 'wiping your face' and 'blowing your face' is very cumbersome, requiring all kinds of oil paint and color powders, and the requirements are also more troublesome.
