At the end of the performance, Bai Yansen rushed onto the stage in three steps and two steps, silently reached out to hold Teacher Wang Hongyu's arm, showed a look of admiration on his face, and said cordially,

"Teacher Wang's singing, every word is in the ear, round and jade, look at this appearance, it is really beautiful!"

"You must know that it is not easy for Teacher Wang to come to the competition this time, because when she signed up, Teacher Wang was sick, and it was a very serious hydrosis, and the doctor had warned her not to sing anymore, otherwise her life would be in danger!"

Wang Hongyu still had a warm smile on her face, but Bai Yansen, who was holding her arm, could clearly feel that Wang Hongyu's body was trembling uncontrollably, and the cold sweat on her forehead was constantly pouring out!

Bai Yansen's voice also trembled slightly!

"You may not know that when Teacher Wang Hongyu was young, the performance venue has always been not a place like our Mei Lanfang Grand Theater, basically in the fields, which is also the down-to-earth performance method of Henan Opera, so after too many years of wind and rain, Teacher Wang's body has been exhausted!"

There was a hint of choking in Bai Yansen's voice!

Indeed, compared with Peking Opera, Henan Opera naturally lacks such a noble temperament!

Since its birth, Henan Opera has always existed in the lives of ordinary people!

Most of the Henan opera performances are in the countryside, with a grass platform set up, and the people are surrounded below, both windy and rainy!

Wang Hongyu has always performed Henan Opera in this environment, so when she is over sixty years old, her body bones are no longer good!

Bai Yansen held Wang Hongyu's arm with his hand and said emotionally,

"Teacher Wang's family members are very stern that they will not allow her to participate in the competition, saying that you are not going to die!"

"But Mr. Wang told them very calmly, I don't sing, what else do you want me to do, such a big stage, if I don't come, even if I live to be a hundred years old, I won't be at ease!"

From beginning to end, Wang Hongyu maintained a warm smile and looked at Bai Yansen with the same eyes as her own nephew.

These days, Bai Yansen has also asked herself not to participate more than once, of course she knows that it is all for her own good!

However, Wang Hongyu feels that in her life, she will sing opera, and if she doesn't let herself sing, it is really better to let her die!

Wang Hongyu picked up the microphone, adjusted her breath, and said with a smile, "What Xiaobai said is a bit exaggerated, but I really like the stage, I just like singing, I have been singing for more than 50 years, you can't help me continue to sing!" ”

"In this competition, for me, whether the champion is the champion or not, I don't care about it, because I know that I can't last until the finals!"

"The most important thing is that I came, I came on behalf of Henan Opera, I let everyone know that in fact, our Henan Opera can also be very beautiful, on such a big stage, all opera genres can appear here, what a good thing, of course I want to come!"

"The Henan opera I sang, as long as I can get everyone's recognition and applause, I am already satisfied!"

Wang Hongyu speaks a strong dialect of Henan Province, which makes people feel very kind, and many people can't help but show a curtain expression, as if they are looking at their grandmother!

The audience at the scene all stood up and applauded Wang Hongyu!

And on the Internet, crazy discussions also broke out!

"I'll go, is this Henan Opera, doesn't it say that Henan Opera is very earthy, how can it be so beautiful!"

"Yes, in my impression, Henan opera is not all rustic, especially the accent, but why do I feel so kind!"

"Teacher Wang Hongyu's Henan Opera is really beautiful!"

"This is the first time I've listened to Henan Opera, and it really makes me beautiful, I can't believe it's an old lady in her sixties!"

"Suddenly, I have a new understanding of Henan Opera, it's amazing!"

"I'm from Yu Province, I feel like I've been listening to fake Henan dramas!"

……

Among the judges, there is a very special person, she is the oldest of all the judges.

Mr. Ma Jinfeng!

One of the five famous Dans of Henan Opera, the pioneer of the "Shuai Dan" industry of Henan Opera, and the founder of Henan Opera "Ma Pai"!

Mr. Ma Jinfeng's life is really a legendary life!

mentioning her name is a history of blood and tears!

Born in Cao County, one of the four first-tier cities in China, Ma Jinfeng, a poor family, was originally surnamed Cui!

In order to make a living, his father took Ma Jinfeng to sing Hebei Bangzi, Ma Jinfeng began to learn opera at the age of six, and began to perform on stage at the age of seven, and was nicknamed "seven-year-old red" by the audience!

However, due to the background of the times, the art has not been able to change the poor family!

And Ma Jinfeng, because of his family and poverty, was forced to make a living, and was sold three times, and with the resale, Ma Jinfeng's surname also changed back and forth!

The last time, her mother knelt outside the troupe for three days, and a good person surnamed Ma ransomed it, and finally in order to thank this benefactor surnamed Ma, she took the surname Ma!

Don't look at Ma Jinfeng's honor now, she was useless in the mouth of the troupe owner!

If you want to look good or not, you have to have no voice, Ma Jinfeng still had two nicknames back then, called "Four Sentence Support" and "One Kick"!

The so-called "four sentences" means that she doesn't have a good voice, and she often can't sing four sentences before being bombarded down.

And "One Kick" was when Ma Jinfeng was twelve years old, he sang "Qin Ying Zhengxi" on stage, and his voice was completely silent when he was halfway through the singing.

True gold needs to be tempered by fire and phoenix nirvana before it can be reborn. Like her name, Ma Jinfeng began to launch a high-pitched "shout" about her ordinary and bumpy fate!

Ma Jinfeng once said, "People call me 'golden voice', where did I have gold, but it was just dug out of the sand." ”

You know, the best place to shout is in a place where there is water, the air is moist, and it is good for the throat!

At that time, the place where Ma Jinfeng was located was seriously sandy and very arid, and there was no place to find water!

So, Ma Jinfeng thought of a way to fill the big clay pot with water, and Ma Jinfeng knelt beside the water jar and shouted at the mouth.

After persisting for more than three years, Ma Jinfeng finally practiced a "golden voice"!

There is another person who has an indelible effect on Ma Jinfeng's artistic career!

That is Mr. Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera!

The most commendable thing about Ma Jinfeng is that in "Mu Guiying in Charge", she played Mu Guiying who combined the two roles of Tsing Yi and Dao Ma Dan into one furnace and founded the industry of "Shuai Dan"!

And among them, it is absolutely inseparable from Mei Lanfang's guidance!

Mei Lanfang not only invited Ma Jinfeng to watch her performance, but also never let people see Mei Lanfang, who made up her backstage, and specially asked Ma Jinfeng to come backstage to see how he put on makeup.

Mei Lanfang also gave her precious phoenix crown to Ma Jinfeng as a gift for the apprentices!

This period of master-apprentice relationship made Ma Jinfeng truly reborn from the ashes and made her what she is today!

And Wang Hongyu is the apprentice of Teacher Ma Jinfeng, dear!

Although the age difference between the two is more than 30 years, Teacher Ma Jinfeng's physical condition is obviously much better than Wang Hongyu!

Looking at his most proud disciple, Teacher Ma Jinfeng's eyes also flashed with a trace of regret!

Sixty-four years old, in the opera industry, this is not a very big age, there are many opera masters who can still perform on stage when they are seventy or eighty years old!

Just like Mr. Ma Jinfeng, he can still be on stage in the first two years, and he is indeed a little powerless in the past two years, but his mental state is still very good!

A judge picked up the microphone and said with respect on his face, "Mr. Wang's performance really shocked me, as a southerner, I often listen to Henan Opera, and this part of "Three Sedan Chairs", I have also listened to it many times!" ”

"But today, Mr. Wang's performance gave me a very strong audio-visual impact, because I know that even those very famous Henan Opera masters dare not move this play, because this play is really too difficult, too tired, and I have to cry and make trouble, one will be in the sedan chair, one will get off the sedan chair, and continue to perform on stage, which is a huge challenge for every Henan Opera actor!"

"Mr. Wang's physical state, and being able to interpret this play so well, is really admirable!"

"And what surprises me the most is that Mr. Wang's interpretation method is different from many Henan Opera actors, because she uses a different style, affectionate but plain, not like most Henan Opera actors, there is no hysterical crying, just singing her inner pain in a plain and straightforward way!"

"And under this seemingly calm singing, people can feel that emotion of despair and grief, which is a very remarkable way of expression, and I think she is redefining Henan Opera!"

The judge's words made the audience in an uproar!

Redefine Henan Opera, what a high evaluation!

Wang Hongyu's face also showed a somewhat stunned expression, and she quickly waved her hand!

Teacher Ma Jinfeng, who was sitting in the judges' seat and didn't talk much, coughed lightly, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile,

"Redefining Henan Opera, it's a bit exaggerated, Hongyu doesn't have that ability yet!"

Ma Jinfeng said with a smile,

"This play is the name of the Chen faction, let's take it, it must not be the same as them, so, we changed it, as for Hongyu's performance style, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is because her current body can no longer withstand the kind of crying and fussing scene, so-called, I rearranged this scene according to her style and singing voice, indeed, her performance today is really good, but it is not as exaggerated as you say, haha——"

Mr. Ma Jinfeng has always been very low-key, and he has never regarded himself as an artist!

"I'm a singer, as long as someone is willing to listen, I'm willing to sing to everyone!"

This is what Mr. Ma Jinfeng often says!

She is 99 years old this year, and she will be 100 years old next year, and she has already lived a thorough life!

Others praise their apprentices, there is still a little bit of exaggeration, what redefines Henan Opera, just listen to it, if you really believe it, that's your problem!

Wang Hongyu on the stage naturally knew that the master was protecting himself and redefining Henan Opera, Master Chang Xiangyu had also done this kind of thing back then, and was almost persecuted to death by those diehards, let alone her!

Shang Changrong coughed lightly, looked at Teacher Ma Jinfeng, and said, "Sister Ma is too biased!" ”

This sentence immediately stunned everyone at the scene, and then burst into laughter!

Ma Jinfeng couldn't help but smile!

"Brother Liu's speech is too biased", a well-known Henan opera singing segment that is familiar to the people of the whole country, was slightly changed by Shang Changrong, and the effect is outstanding!

Shang Changrong smiled, then his face became serious, looked at Wang Hongyu on the stage, and said seriously,

"Wang Hongyu's "Three Sedan Chairs" can really be said to be a representative work of the new school of Henan Opera, and our Chinese aesthetic spirit has three exquisiteness!"

"The first one is exquisite, supporting things and words, and being reasonable!"

"And Wang Hongyu's performance just now has achieved this, although I can clearly hear that she is lacking in breath during the singing process, but she makes up for this with her own emotions!"

"In fact, every actor will be old, and there will be times when their voices are not good, and many Peking Opera actors can't sing anymore when they are older, and that's why, but there are many old artists, in the case of their lack of voice and breath, they still use skills and emotions to make up for their own shortcomings, which is a very remarkable ability!"

"The second is exquisite, concise, concise and modest, and Wang Hongyu's performance has completely achieved this!"

"The last one is to pay attention to both form and spirit, far-reaching artistic conception, this is our highest opera aesthetics, pay attention to the high unity of knowledge, emotion, meaning and action, Wang Hongyu is very close to this direction, I hope you can take care of your body, for the development of Henan Opera, make your own contributions, I like your Henan Opera very much!"

Shang Changrong's words were deeply affectionate, and deeply analyzed some of the connotations in Wang Hongyu's performance just now.

These words also moved Wang Hongyu with tears.

Master Shang Changrong, as the top elder in today's Peking Opera industry, and even the opera industry, can have such a high evaluation of her art here, which makes Wang Hongyu feel that her life is worth it!

Bai Yansen was also moved by Shang Changrong's words on the side, and said with admiration, "Teacher Shang's words really speak to my heart, Teacher Wang Hongyu has insisted on performing on the stage for so many years, adhered to his own concept of Henan Opera, and sang Wang Hongyu's own Henan Opera, everyone, this, that's it, Henan Opera!" ”

Bai Yansen said these words word by word, and the last five words were so loud that the entire audience exploded!

This is Henan Opera!
