Chapter 218: Qi Sect's Trick (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"The drums of war are vibrating in winter—"
"Could it be that the Rogues have entered the Forbidden City—"
"Climb Jingshan again to watch the movement-"
Three sentences and two yellow shakers, Lin Mu vividly embodied the panic of Emperor Chongzhen!
The gongs and drums are urging!
Lin Mu began to run in the round with the sound of drums like raindrops.
In the round field here, Lin Mu not only has to reflect the embarrassment of Emperor Chongzhen, but also to ensure the quality of the round field!
Whether an actor runs the round is beautiful or not can best test his basic skills.
The standard requirement is that the upper body must not lean forward and backward, sway left and right, and the feet must not drag mud and water, but must be steady and refined, tight but not chaotic, fast but not floating.
And Lin Mu's four skills and five methods have basically reached the realm of masters now.
Singing, chanting, doing, and fighting, hands, eyes, and body steps, each item, Lin Mu has been polished to the extreme of what he can!
Especially in this section of the round field, when Lin Mu was rehearsing below, he noticed every little detail!
Lin Mu's beautiful round also attracted frequent nods from the judges!
Whether the singing is good or not, it is a matter of talent, and whether the round is beautiful or not, that is a matter of basic skills!
It can be seen that Lin Mu is not only talented, but also hard enough!
This made the judges look at Lin Mu differently!
After all, they have been in the opera industry for so many years, and the geniuses they have seen can be said to be like carp crossing the river, but there are a few people who can reach the same status as them!
Most of the talented young people are because their talent is too strong, and they can beat the others with their talent alone, so they lose the urge to practice!
However, talent only represents the ceiling of a person's achievement, and hard work is the lower limit that determines this person!
For example, your talent is 95 points, but if you don't work hard, you can show your strength, which is around 90 points, and if you indulge it, you may not even reach 80 points!
And if a person's talent is 80 points, as long as he works hard enough, he can cash out all his talents, and the level of performance is no less than the genius above!
And Lin Mu may be more talented, and he also works harder, and has enough enthusiasm for opera, which is what the judges value the most!
The talent is good, and he works hard enough, so he doesn't leave anyone else with a way to live!
……
Lin Mu ran and ran, and came to the vicinity of the next door, and then, when he turned around and was about to continue running the round, the next moment, the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation!
It turned out that the thick-soled boot that Lin Mu was wearing on his right foot fell off his foot directly, and flew high and landed directly in the middle of the stage!
I'll go, it's ...... Stage accidents?
Even everyone on the judges' bench showed shocked expressions!
What's going on!
How could such a big mistake occur?
You must know that Lin Mu is wearing thick-soled boots on his feet, which are not like those thin-soled shoes, which are easy to fall off when the action is big!
Thick-soled boots have straps, and after tying the straps, even if they are hard to take off, it is difficult to take them off directly!
Well, there is only one reason, and that is......
Lin Mu, deliberately?
No one noticed that Pei Yongjie, who had been sitting in the waiting area very calmly, stood up with a shocked face when he saw this scene, and a thick incredulity flashed in his eyes!
Next, Lin Mu continued to run the round, and the audience below didn't know whether Lin Mu was accidental or deliberate, and their expressions were very entangled!
However, the fifteen judges all widened their eyes and looked at Lin Mu's round carefully, all of them showing shocked expressions!
It's not difficult to round the field, as long as you study seriously for a year or two, you can run a good round field!
Even if it is such a relaxed and beautiful round as Lin Mu before, many Peking Opera masters can show it!
Therefore, Lin Mu was able to run out of the round just now, just to make everyone feel that at his age, he can have such attainments, which is very outstanding!
However, now Lin Mu's round field is no different from the round field just now, which surprises those who know how to do it!
Why?
Because Lin Mu lost a boot!
If both boots are gone, then there are still excusable circumstances, now Lin Mu has boots on one foot and no boots on the other!
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the round field run out of one high and one low?
You must know that the boots Lin Mu wears are three-inch thick soles, which is equivalent to wearing high heels on one foot and barefoot on the other, let alone running, normal people can't walk even if they walk!
However, Lin Mu on the stage did not have this feeling at all, he still ran so evenly and agilely, and his legs were not unusually light and heavy, one high and one low.
The audience under the stage also slowly realized this, and couldn't help but applaud Lin Mu's wonderful performance!
And when Lin Mu's round ran to the side of the door, he saw him stumbling, kicking the purple gold crown with his left foot, and the thick-soled boots on his feet also fell off his feet and flew straight to the middle of the stage!
To be impartial, this platform boot actually landed next to the boot just now, and it stood there without moving.
If everyone hadn't watched these two boots fly over, they would have thought that someone had deliberately put two boots on the stage!
Although the position of the two boots is not so tight, this scene is enough to make everyone's jaws drop!
What kind of fairy operation is this!
The stage of Mei Lanfang Grand Theater is 15.3 meters wide, 7 meters high, and 16.87 meters deep.
In other words, the distance from the upper and lower doors to the center of the stage is almost seven meters.
Lin Mu kicked two boots from his feet from seven meters away twice, and he was able to land in almost one position, this kind of precise control simply made people feel their scalp tingle!
It's a stunt!
Among the fifteen judges, many of them sat there dumbfounded!
Although Lin Mu had made them feel how strong Lin Mu's talent was many times in the previous competition, this time, Lin Mu's acrobatic boot throwing action directly shocked them to the point of losing their voice!
As connoisseurs, they naturally know how difficult this technical move is, and this skill definitely depends on a little luck on the stage!
Don't talk about using your feet, even if you throw it with your hands, you may not be able to throw it better than Lin Mu!
Shang Changrong looked at Lin Mu with a strong sense of appreciation in his eyes, and his eyes were also horrified.
He can be regarded as the person who has watched Lin Mu grow slowly in the past two years, but the speed of Lin Mu's growth really makes him jaw-dropping.
He still remembered the first time he saw Lin Mu, and he was impressed by this young man's performance, but Lin Mu at that time was just a young man with a little talent!
However, in more than a year, Lin Mu has grown to the point where he is now, even if he is he, he doesn't know where the upper limit of Lin Mu is now!
Feng Xiaozhi in the audience had a strong pride on his face, this is my apprentice, you just say that it is not a cow!
I have to say that Lin Mu's performance just now made Feng Xiaozhi sweat for him in his heart!
Feng Xiaozhi was surprised at the same time, but also frowned slightly, because he remembered that his master, Mr. Ma Lianliang, seemed to have told him about this boot throwing technique, who was talking about this trick at that time, it had been too long, and his memory was already a little ambiguous!
And Pei Yongjie in the waiting area was trembling a little, what did he see just now!
Lin Mu had stood up in shock from the first time he threw his boots just now, until the second time, when he saw that the boots happened to fall together, this scene instantly made his hairs stand on end!
That's right!
That's right!
This is exactly the original technique of his master, the founder of the Qi School, Mr. Zhou Xinfang, the Qilin Tong, when he acted in this play!
Around 1930, Mr. Zhou Xinfang re-created "The Hatred of the Late Ming Dynasty", and before the last hanging, that section of the circle was the same as Lin Mu's performance today!
And after the 50s, this play has basically not been staged, and this skill has been lost!
Even Mr. Zhou Xinfang's son, his master, Mr. Zhou Shaolin, was not able to inherit this master!
Don't underestimate this trick, it can be said that this is the embodiment of Mr. Zhou Xinfang's decades of skill.
Not only should it show the embarrassment and stomping of Emperor Chongzhen when he fled for his life on the stage, but also the movements of the circle can not be scattered, especially after the first boot is thrown out, it can also maintain balance, which is the same as the previous circle, which is not the same as in the Peking Opera industry today!
When Pei Yongjie was learning this play, he heard his master tell him countless times about the style of his master when he performed this play, especially when he heard the last twist, Mr. Zhou Xinfang's round scene, coupled with the unique skill of throwing boots, couldn't help but be fascinated!
However, whether it is Chen Shaoyun's re-created "Hatred at the End of the Ming Dynasty", or this version that Pei Yongjie has been performing, the last fold has been deleted!
There's no other reason than because they can't act at all!
Mr. Zhou Xinfang has played this drama to the extreme, and no one in their descendants can inherit this unique skill!
Not to mention throwing boots, even the ability to run a circle on one foot, they can't guarantee that they can do it perfectly!
Therefore, there is only one way, and that is to delete it and not act!
Whether it is Chen Shaoyun or Pei Yongjie, their version is that after the Zhou Hou hanged himself, the princes fled from the palace one after another, the princess was cut off an arm, the entire palace was empty, Emperor Chongzhen himself came to Jingshan, was hanged under pathos, and there were no singing passages and movements before Lin Mu at all!
After all, Zhou Xinfang's version back then had a total of 34 scenes, and there was another version with 28 scenes!
The version performed by Chen Shaoyun cut and sorted out these scenes, and finally condensed them into five scenes.
So, a lot of things in it are missing, but it's normal that some mediocre content has been deleted!
However, the deletion of this scene in the end made Mr. Zhou Xinfang's most brilliant scene of the year completely lost!
Pei Yongjie doesn't know how many times he has practiced in private, as Zhou Xinfang's descendant and grandson, of course he also wants to reproduce Mr. Zhou Xinfang's unique skills!
However, there are some things that cannot be succeeded by hard work alone!
In private, Pei Yongjie practiced countless times, but he couldn't even make both boots fall vertically on the stage at one time, either falling crookedly on the ground or on the ground upside down!
After practicing for a long time, Pei Yongjie could only reluctantly admit that he didn't have that kind of talent, so he had to give up practicing!
And today, right in front of his eyes, Lin Mu succeeded at one time, and landed the two boots perfectly in the same small area!
Because Pei Yongjie has practiced countless times, he knows how difficult this technique is!
Seeing Lin Mu's performance, Pei Yongjie was shocked in his heart, but also showed an expression of admiration!
Money presses slaves, and art presses pedestrians!
Only when your ability surpasses that of the other person, and the other person does not see the possibility of chasing, will he bow to you!
Pei Yongjie is this psychology now, and I have to admit that Lin Mu's talent is really too strong!
……
Lin Mu saw that the two boots landed perfectly in the middle of the stage, and his heart was also relaxed.
Indeed, although this technique requires a lot of difficulty, the most important thing is luck!
This is also the main reason why Mr. Zhou Xinfang did not act in this play in his later years!
It's because he can't guarantee that he can throw his boots so perfectly every time!
The biggest attraction of this technique is perfection, if one boot hits the ground vertically and the other boot is crooked, then this action is not necessary!
Today's luck is still very good!
Lin Mu was barefoot, picked up a Bai Lingzi with both hands, turned his back to the audience, hung Bai Lingzi on the crooked neck tree behind him, and hanged himself!
When the lights dimmed, the audience at the scene reacted, and they all stood up involuntarily, expressing their shock and excitement with warm applause and crazy cheers!
The fifteen judges also stood up one by one, shook their heads helplessly, and applauded Lin Mu!
Lin Mu's performance just now really shocked them beyond measure!
Bai Yansen also walked on the stage with an amazed face, looked at the two boots in the middle of the stage incredulously, and looked at the distance from the upper and lower doors to the middle of the stage, the expression on his face was really wonderful!
After Lin Mu's performance, he hurriedly ran over, sat directly on the ground, and put the two boots on his feet again!
Looking at Lin Mu's down-to-earth scene, the audience couldn't help but laugh!
"Lord Mu is so cute, just sit on the stage and put on shoes, haha!"
"Lord Mu's action of throwing his shoes just now is too handsome, I don't think I can throw them so accurately with my hands!"
"This is a unique skill, Lord Mu's hand, no, this kick, the skill is amazing!"
"That's it, if you look at those judges, they were all shocked by the performance of Lord Mu!"
"I still think that the round field of Lord Mu just now is the most exciting, without a shoe, the round field is still running so well, this is the real kung fu!"
"Ah, it's amazing, why don't I think so!"
"You put on one high heel now, and then don't wear anything on the other foot, go out for a run and try it, and you will know how powerful the Lord Mu is!"
"I went, I felt it, I apologized for what I just said, I tried it, don't say it, the Internet speed in the hospital is really fast!"
