Chapter 654 The Wandering Spirit
After listening to Tang Yuansi's words, Mu Qianmei immediately said:
"Tang Gongzi's words are bad, everyone is unique, no one is more noble than others, especially those who can achieve great achievements in their own fields, they must have their own uniqueness, what I am good at, maybe they will be worse, but what they are good at, I may not be able to do as well as them."
As soon as Mu Qianmei's words fell, the host's voice came from the hall, and I saw a gentle and elegant middle-aged man, who said enthusiastically in a deep and affectionate voice:
"On the occasion of the upcoming Lingyun List competition, in order to promote the spirit and culture of Dabi, our Shengyin Theater specially invited Lu Shudie and Liang Yingcai, two opera masters, to hold this opera feast at this special moment."
"The Lingyun List competition outside the sky is a grand event in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a grand event of the country, most of the players who participate in the competition are from the rivers and lakes, but what they represent is a sect of five countries, if they win, not only the personal reputation, but also the honor of the national sect."
"In order to fit such a theme, after many discussions, I finally chose the two tracks "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" composed by Mu Qianmei, the first talented woman in Xiyu Country, for adaptation."
"These two songs, one is written about the rivers and lakes, and the other is written about the country, both of which are classic repertoire, and they are also the songs with the highest degree of singing in the sky."
"We at the Shengyin Theatre have made bold adaptations of them, each of which has been changed into a five-act opera."
"The rivers and lakes are divided into five sections: apprenticeship, mountain, adventure, fame, and retreat, and the state is adapted into five sections: uprising, overthrow, establishment, prosperity, and destruction."
"All the stories are included in the lyrics and dance, the lead singers Lu Shudie and Liang Yingcai, the accompaniment and dance are all musicians and actors of the Shengyin Theater."
"Well, no matter how much you say, it's better for you to watch it in person, laughing at the sea, surging tide on both sides of the strait...... Please enjoy the opera performance "Smiling Proud Jianghu"! ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the stage.
Then the curtain on the stage slowly opened, and on a slightly higher step, there was a guqin, a beautiful woman in her twenties, dressed in red dress, sitting in front of the guqin stage, seemed to be ready to play at any time.
Behind her, a man in white of the same age stood, holding a flute, slowly putting it to his lips, ready to play.
The two are the famous opera characters Lu Shudie and Liang Yingcai.
Lang is talented and beautiful, like a pair of fairy couples.
Judging from their appearance alone, the two people on the stage are no worse than Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng, and they have a little more mature charm, but they are slightly lacking in temperament, and they lack some aura and charm.
Behind them, there was an accompaniment orchestra of about sixty people, and in front of them, about twenty or thirty different instruments were placed.
Just looking at such a lineup, it looks very gorgeous, and it also has a sense of ceremony.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the soothing sound of the flute finally sounded in the accompaniment, which was the familiar Xiaoao Jianghu song, and then the sound of the guqin spread through the magical amplification equipment on the stage.
However, this time, the piano and flute ensemble is simply the sound of the piano and the flute, without lyrics, as if it is just background music.
In the music, a beautiful and lovely little girl appeared on the stage with light dance steps, wearing a blue dress, fresh and refined, not stained with dust, as if a little fairy was dancing.
When the little girl appeared on the stage, the accompaniment suddenly changed to light and soothing music, and with the girl's dance steps, Lu Shudie, who played the piano, lightly opened her lips and sang slowly:
"Spring returns to the earth with a hundred flowers, and the breeze blows enchanting; What do you want to be alone? Apprentice to the art of seekers. ”
"The mountains are full of wildflowers, and there are thousands of postures competing for scenery; In the golden color of chasing flowers and butterflies, all flowers have lost their color. ”
……
Lu Shudie's voice is tactful and sweet, coupled with her profound singing skills, which quickly brings people's emotions into the scene on the stage.
The light song and dance, beautiful and soothing, shows the process of a little girl stepping on the spring light, flying flowers and going up the mountain to find a hermit to learn art month by month.
As the plot develops, a white-haired old man with a small hoe comes out of the stage on the other side, carrying a medicine basket on his back, revealing a few picked medicinal herbs.
Immediately afterwards, the old man and the little girl met on the stage, and the stage became a dance of two people interacting.
Lu Shudie then sang again:
"An old man in the deep mountains, holding a hoe in his back to collect medicine; On the way, I happened to meet a butterfly girl, and it turned out to be a lost pearl in the sea. ”
"The old man was originally an outsider, and he hid in the mountains regardless of the mundane; I met a flower picker in the flowers, and I was surprised that I was a genius. ”
……
The lyrics are easy to understand and catchy to sing, making it easy for the audience to understand the meaning of the opera.
On the stage, when the girl followed the old man a few turns and crossed a few rivers, she came to a thatched house in the mountains, only to see a handsome boy in white happily greeted her, and took the medicine frame and a small hoe from the master's hand, and welcomed the two to the thatched house.
At this time, Lu Shudie continued to sing:
"The name of this mountain is Ethereal Mountain, the boundless sky is beyond the sky; The old man called himself a mountain savage, and there was already a disciple in the door. ”
"The name of the woman in the back is charming, and her writing is outstanding and her appearance is like a fairy; Just because he is an older disciple, he is not called a senior brother in succession. ”
"The closed disciple becomes a senior sister, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are taught to the senior brother; The younger brother passed on the swordsmanship on behalf of the teacher, and the senior sister and younger brother were happy. ”
"Smelling the chicken, dancing and practicing diligently, the junior brother's name is Liu Tingfeng; The morning glow went out to step on the moon and returned, and the mountains did not know how to rush the years. ”
……
Liu Tingfeng, who was sitting in the private room of Tianzihao, looked at Mu Qianmei and said:
"Senior sister, they are singing our story!"
Mu Qianmei nodded and said:
"Yes, I haven't even changed my name, it's just that Master's name is probably taboo, so I didn't write it."
After finishing speaking, Mu Qianmei looked at Tang Yuansi and asked:
"Did Tang Gongzi know what they were going to sing in advance?"
Tang Yuansi shook his head and replied:
"I only know the name of the opera, but I don't know the specific content, this is also an improvised adaptation, and it is the first time it has been performed externally."
Mu Qianmei thought about it, and knew that these things were some of her half-truths and half-truths that she had said to the outside world at that time, and the last time she told her story from Mr. Storyteller, it was probably spread like this, which was not unusual.
This opera is different from the opera I know, it is more like a simple version of the combination of song and dance drama and drama, which looks fresh.
Tang Yuansi said curiously:
"It turned out that Liu Gongzi entered the master first, but Miss Mu was a closed disciple, if the lyrics are correct, Miss Mu's swordsmanship was taught by the junior brother on behalf of the teacher?"
Mu Qianmei nodded and replied:
"The master has also taught in person, but more time is spent explaining and helping the younger brother to improve, which can indeed be regarded as teaching the art on behalf of the teacher!"
While a few people were talking, the passage of apprenticeship on the stage had been sung, and when it was time to change to the next scene, the men and women dancing on the stage had been replaced by fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys.
On the stage, the white-haired old man handed over the sword in his hand to the hands of the two apprentices, which was a scene of letting the apprentices go down the mountain.
The young man and woman took the sword, and after thanking the master, they turned around and left slowly, at this time, the music on the field seemed a little sad about parting, and Lu Shudie then sang:
"It's been three years on the Ethereal Mountain, and the swordsmanship has become a wound and parting; I can't bear the disciple to go out of the mountain, so it's a long way to go to the rivers and lakes. ”
"The banquet in the world must eventually disperse, and the end of the world is far away; The eagle strikes the sky and the dragon enters the sea, turning the clouds and rain to listen to the snow building. ”
"The Heroes of Castle Peak Inn will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop; The smiling proud rivers and lakes spread all over the world, and the reputation spreads far and wide. ”
……
As the plot develops, there are more and more actors on the stage, but the two young men and women are always in the middle of the stage, and they are the well-deserved protagonists.
Immediately afterwards, she sang about Mu Qianmei's three poems for a manor and staying in Plum Blossom Villa, and then her experience of winning the championship on the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, and sang until the establishment of Tingxue Building and Tingxue Academy, which can be regarded as singing her mountain, adventures and fame.
However, when they sang the part of the Taoist retreat, they sang the master in their opera, the old man who called himself a mountain savage.
The whole process was sung with ups and downs, twists and turns, and it really sang a kind of heart-wrenching atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, especially after the end of the retreat, the music on the stage suddenly turned around, and returned to the song of Xiaoao Jianghu, which became majestic.
And this time, Lu Shudie played the long flute, and Liang Yingcai came to play the guqin and sing the lyrics.
Liang Yingcai's voice is rich and high, and he is very emotionally engaged, not only singing the heroism of the song, but also singing the loneliness in the song.
When the song ended, the scene remembered warm applause and cheers, and it lasted for a long time, which showed that the audience was very excited.
This is because under the background of music and dance, coupled with the easy-to-understand lyrics, the people on the field have a strong sense of substitution, as if the wonderful experience of the rivers and lakes is the general of their own adventure.
Tang Yuansi said with a smile:
"This opera is sung so well, I can't help but envy your experience of the rivers and lakes, after such a pist, your reputation will go to the next level!"
Even Ye Yuzhu, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth and praised:
"It's really exciting!"
Liu Tingfeng could feel that Tang Yuansi's praise was somewhat sour, and his smile was not very sincere, but Ye Yuzhu's simple four-word praise was from the heart, not hypocritical at all.
Mu Qianmei smiled lightly:
"In fact, sometimes the experience in reality is even more exciting than what is sung in the opera, and of course, there is a lot of helplessness in it."
