Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rehearsals Begin (Asking for Follow-up, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
Early the next morning, after Lin Mu finished his morning exercises, he rushed back to the National Peking Opera Company.
At 8:15, Lin Mu came to the practice room!
Push the door in and see that the main actors have arrived.
Feng Jianxun glanced at Lin Mu and said dissatisfiedly, "You don't live in the National Peking Opera Company, why did you get up so late?" ”
Lin Mu said with a smile, "I just came back from morning exercises." ”
Hearing Lin Mu's voice, and then looking at Lin Mu's spirit, Feng Jianxun nodded, and the expression on his face eased a lot!
"Although everyone is already very clear about the lyrics, each genre still has some of its own understanding, so let's go through the words first, understand the habits of the other party, and if there is anything inappropriate, say it in advance, and save yourself from being embarrassed on stage!"
Feng Jianxun's words made everyone nod secretly!
Don't underestimate this, even if two master-level Peking Opera actors work together, they must be in harmony with each other in order to sing a play well!
The four famous dans and the four major students often sing together in class, especially in compulsory dramas!
The so-called compulsory drama is the kind of performance that did not charge remuneration in the past.
In the old days, in order to help poor actors or participate in social welfare activities such as disaster relief and charity fundraising, the Peking Opera industry united with the famous actors of various opera troupes to hold grand performances.
All income from the performance, except for necessary expenses, shall be paid to the Liyuan Association or relevant organisations.
These big horns don't often cooperate on weekdays, and in this kind of compulsory play, they are often arranged to perform together!
If the styles of the two are very different, even the top masters will overturn!
is like Ma Lianliang and Cheng Yanqiu, one is the only one among the four major susheng before and after, and the other is the most unique Cheng school patriarch among the four famous Dans!
At that time, the names of these two people could be described as a moment of brilliance, but they had never cooperated, so that time, the compulsory play, I specially arranged for these two to perform a "Baolian Lantern" for everyone!
Just like Feng Jianxun came to the National Peking Opera Company to perform a play, it still took a period of rehearsal, but back then, there was almost no rehearsal talk, just three words, see you on stage!
See you on stage is a jargon in the Peking Opera industry, which contains two meanings!
The first meaning is very simple, both of them are famous actors, everyone is at the same level, it depends on the two of them on the stage, if there is any problem, we can solve it ourselves on stage!
The second meaning is different, see these three words on stage becomes the meaning of challenge, let's go to the stage, see the truth!
And Ma Lianliang and Cheng Yanqiu do not have this situation, naturally the first one, both of them are very confident in their art, thinking that even if there is a problem, their stage experience is enough to deal with!
However, there is such an old saying in Liyuan Xing.
"Don't let your father on the spot, raise your hand without mercy"!
The so-called see you on stage depends on whether your stuff is good or not, and there is no human affection to talk about.
Generally speaking, there are only three kinds of results seen on stage.
One, everyone is happy, everyone is doing well.
One is heavy-headed, one plays well, and the other plays badly.
There is another kind, both of them don't act well!
And Ma Lianliang and Cheng Yanqiu were the last ones, and they didn't sing happily!
This is not because the two are not capable, but because the artistic styles of the two of them are very different, so the effect of the performance is miserable!
The play "Baolian Lantern" is a one-day show, Ma Lianliang has performed with Mei Lanfang, Zhang Junqiu, and Cheng Yanqiu has also cooperated with Wang Shaolou, Guan Dayuan and others.
Everyone's performance was wonderful!
It's just that you have to be clear that Ma Lianliang and Mei Lanfang cooperate, so naturally Ma follows Mei, and Ma Lianliang and Zhang Junqiu cooperate, that is, Zhang follows Ma.
And Wang Shaolou, Guan Dayuan and Cheng Yanqiu cooperated, so naturally the two of them followed Cheng Yanqiu!
So Ma Lianliang and Cheng Yanqiu are standing on the stage, who follows whom!
At the beginning, the status of the two in Liyuan was comparable, and the styles were very different, the bad thing was that the two had never played against each other backstage, they both felt that they were so familiar with the play, no need to be right, see you on stage!
As a result, something went terribly wrong!
The main reason why the two can't sing together is that the artistic styles are different!
In short, it is slow and fast, and the horse is urgent!
Cheng Yanqiu's style is slow and tight, tight and slow.
Sometimes you think that he has finished singing and reading, but in fact, he is in the middle of that line of words, you think it is gone, and just about to open his mouth to answer, his tone or words come out again, which always makes you anxious and can't wait.
The style of the horse pie is crisp and crisp, crisp and concise.
This time, he was about to die of discomfort, because he always had to wait for Cheng Yanqiu to finish his speech there, and he couldn't be in a hurry.
Because of the Cheng School created by Cheng Yanqiu, you have to be calm, sit still, not in a hurry, do enough tricks, and do a good job in your body before you can sing!
Singing also requires singing between virtual and real, ups and downs, such as crying and complaining, and circling the beam for three days without dispersing.
One is a fire house, and the other is a well!
The most important thing is that both of them are famous actors, and after they get on stage, no one will obey anyone, and no one will let anyone!
They both feel that their size is right, and the other party should follow them.
So, this play can be barely sung!
However, for two people, don't mention how uncomfortable it is!
At least, before the liberation, the two never shared the stage again!
Therefore, the importance of rehearsal is reflected, especially when singing with unfamiliar people, you must know where the other person's size is!
Although Lin Mudu has memorized the lyrics of this play, he still picked up his own lyrics and followed everyone together!
In the morning, the words were corrected twice, and the three of them almost knew each other's performance style!
After eating in the cafeteria at noon, I returned to the practice room again in the afternoon, and began to sound the row!
The so-called rehearsal is accompanied by a band, but there is no need to wear costumes or makeup.
Although the word match in the morning was not bad, when it came to the rehearsal, many problems appeared!
I don't know when, Yu Zhikui, Li Zhengsu, Zhang Jianguo and Liu Changyu The four Peking Opera masters all stood at the door of the practice room, looking at their rehearsals seriously!
"Stop, stop!"
Suddenly, Yu Zhikui directly shouted to stop the rehearsal, frowned, looked at Lin Mu, and said, "Xiao Mu, you didn't feel right just now!" ”
Lin Mu hurriedly lowered his hands and listened carefully!
Yu Zhikui came over and compared with Lin Mu!
Li Zhengsu also walked to Hua Yiting's side and whispered to her about some of the problems just now!
