Chapter 250: The premiere of "Red Cliff".
Chang'an Grand Theater.
The audience below is full of seats, because today is the premiere of the large-scale historical Peking Opera "Red Cliff" jointly created by the three major national theater troupes!
The first few rows are all the old-timers in the Peking Opera industry and the leaders of major theater troupes, and this performance can be said to be the largest investment from the country and the highest standard of actors in the past ten years!
Yu Zhikui, Li Zhengsu, Meng Guanglu, Li Hongtu, these four are all leaders of their respective professions and leaders of the troupe, and it is really impossible to unite the four of them to perform a play, except for such a performance!
Even those dragon actors are famous and famous actors in various Peking Opera Theaters, and being able to show their faces in such a performance, even if it is a dragon set, is a rare opportunity!
After all, being able to observe their performances up close by the side of these elders is an opportunity that money can't buy!
Feng Xiaozhi wore a black Mao suit, and sat in the second row with his wife Chu Lianxiang, on the stage today, there was not only Lu Su played by Lin Mu, but also Bu Qi played by his grandson Feng Jianxun, who was one of Zhuge Liang's tongue battle group Confucian!
The lights slowly dimmed, and the audience at the scene was quiet!
The curtain slowly opened, and the scene on the stage made many people exclaim!
Even many Peking Opera actors had shocked expressions on their faces!
The huge high-rise building simulates the appearance of the court of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sits on the high platform, and below is dozens of beauties in palace costumes dancing, with a sense of extravagance!
The singing on the side is "Tongque Taifu", and the opening chapter points out what will happen next!
Suddenly, the sound of the music changed, and more than a dozen soldiers with halberds rushed out from the direction of the upper door, frightening these palace maids to retreat in a hurry!
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also panicked!
"Wield the sword—"
"Sweep Liuhe—"
"Robes—"
Cao Mengde, played by Meng Guanglu, walked out of the door!
The audience below applauded, Lao Meng is worthy of being the new king of the Ling world, this voice, this momentum, as soon as it came up, everyone was covered!
Dressed in a red flat gold python robe, Meng Guanglu's whole person is full of domineering, which is even more expensive than the Han Emperor on the high platform!
walked to the entrance of the stage, the water sleeves shook, a handsome appearance, and another round of applause and applause!
At the same time, all the civil and military officials on the stage bowed down respectfully at him, which vividly embodied Cao Cao, a generation of traitorous males!
"Han Zuo is declining, and the dynasty is falling-"
"Relatives, eunuchs, traitors, and generals are all disturbing-"
"Wind and rain in China, the wind and rain are shaking-"
In this section of Huilong's frustration, Meng Guanglu sang with a heart-wrenching heart, and the audience in the audience looked like they were shaking their heads, it was too enjoyable!
From Meng Guanglu's performance, the leaders below were relieved!
Lao Meng is on the hook, I believe that the actors behind will not relax!
Indeed, all the actors who were already waiting backstage listened to Meng Guanglu's performance, and their eyes were full of war!
With such a level of performance, no one wants to be left behind, although everyone is not a troupe on weekdays, but it is inevitable that fans will be compared together, who is good, who is bad, and who has more fans!
And this time, everyone is performing on the same stage, and the competition can't be talked about, but you must not overshadow me!
So what's going on, no, let's go all out!
Lin Mu stood behind the side curtain and listened, watching Meng Guanglu's awe-inspiring performance on the stage, he was really impressed!
Decades of skill are not comparable to those of a lucky person like himself!
Especially in the face of this kind of Hongdae historical theme, the kind of kung fu accumulated over decades is really admirable!
Live Cao Cao!
Although Lin Mu hadn't seen what Cao Cao looked like, when he saw Meng Guanglu standing there, he felt that this should be Cao Cao's appearance!
Watching Meng Guanglu finish a long section of heart-wrenching singing, he turned around and bowed slightly to Emperor Han Xian on the high platform, and said, "Minister Cao Cao, I've seen Your Majesty!" ”
Before Emperor Han Xian could speak, the civil and military officials shouted at the same time,
"See the Prime Minister!"
Emperor Han Xian's face became gloomy, and he had already wanted to get up, but he also took it back!
Meng Guanglu shook his sleeves and said,
"That's it!"
Emperor Han Xian got up and said with a smile on his face,
"Ah, Prime Minister, please sit down!"
Meng Guanglu stretched out his hand and stroked his mustache, and said suddenly,
"Your Majesty has made a decision on what the minister asked yesterday?"
Emperor Han Xian pretended not to know and asked,
"Prime Minister, what are you talking about?"
Meng Guang's pale complexion sank, and he snorted coldly, and suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene also sank!
With this cold snort, even the audience below felt a suppressed feeling!
Lin Mu bowed slightly, Meng Guanglu has always been known as the first face by many fans, but many people feel that he is not worthy of his name.
However, after experiencing the baptism of "Lingjie Little King Competition" and the experience of winning the championship in the end, Meng Guanglu seems to have broken the last shackles in his heart and completely integrated his art!
Today's Meng Guanglu, and the previous Meng Guanglu, are definitely not the same!
Meng Guanglu snorted coldly, so frightened that Emperor Han Xian stood up directly from his seat and said in a trembling voice,
"But what about Liu Bei and Sun Quan?"
Meng Guanglu turned around at this time!
Emperor Han Xian said with a sincere face,
"I think, the imperial court has used troops again and again, and the soldiers are tired, so it is advisable to take a break from the army!"
Seeing that Meng Guanglu didn't say a word, Emperor Han Xian thought that his words had moved the other party, and hurriedly said while the iron was hot,
"Besides, Liu Bei is my imperial uncle, and the Han clan is ......"
Hearing this, Meng Guanglu sneered and said,
"Oh! Han clan relatives? Hmph, hum, hum, hahahaha-"
This series of laughter is really creepy, and it vividly expresses Cao Cao's arrogance that no one is looking at!
Emperor Han Xian stood there as if he had eaten a fly, and the light hit his body, feeling so sad!
Lin Mudu, who was standing on the side curtain, couldn't help but shudder, it was too immersive, as if he was standing on the court at the end of the Han Dynasty, watching the conversation between Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian.
Large-scale immersion in Peking Opera!
Not to mention Lin Mu, the audience in the audience felt even more deeply, the lighting, sound effects, and the superb performances of the actors on the stage made them have an illusion!
Is this watching Peking Opera?
It feels like you're watching a 3D movie!
That's too true, isn't it?
On the stage, Meng Guanglu waved his sleeves and said,
"Hundreds of officials have listened, Your Majesty has an edict!"
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Han Xian stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Meng Guanglu with a shocked face, and said,
"Lonely ......"
Without waiting for Emperor Han Xian to continue, Meng Guanglu turned to look at him, and then said word by word,
"Your Majesty has an edict—"
The sonorous and powerful dragon and tiger sound made everyone's scalp tingle, and at the same time, it also made Emperor Han Xian, who had just risen a trace of anger in his heart, as if he had been splashed on his head by a basin of cold water, his legs were weak, and he sat back on his dragon chair in a panic!
"Edict, edict—"
Emperor Han Xian had no choice but to submit to Cao Mengde!
The lights on Emperor Han Xian's body dimmed, and all the lights fell on Meng Guanglu's body!
"The generals will obey!"
"Yes!"
"Eight hundred and thirty thousand horses, the old man himself is the commander, and he will send troops on the same day to exterminate Sun Liu and level the river-south-"
Meng Guanglu's voice is high-pitched and penetrating, and it surrounds the beam for three days without stopping!
The audience in the audience also applauded loudly for Meng Guanglu's hard-working performance!
The first fold of "Bronze Bird Xingbing" came to an end, and in the interval between the curtain changes, the audience was discussing, and they had too much to say in their hearts about this form of Peking Opera!
Lighting, sound effects, sets, and stage design, this is not just a Peking Opera performance, but also includes some techniques of song and dance drama, drama, stage play, and even film, which can be said to be an improvement of Peking Opera performance!
As for whether this improvement is successful, it depends on whether the next performance can satisfy the audience!
……
The second fold is the stage for the other protagonist of this play!
"Tongue War"!
The curtain slowly opened, and the audience fell silent again!
Looking at the huge "Wu" character on the curtain behind, everyone also knew what this was!
Soochow!
In the dim light, the civil and military officials of Eastern Wu were all panicked when they heard the news that Cao Cao's army was heading south.
"Princess, something is wrong! ——”
A shrill voice sounded, and the lights slowly lit up!
A harlequin actor in a red court dress with a white tofu block painted on his face walked briskly from the side.
This person is none other than Yu Fu, a famous minister of Eastern Wu.
After Yu flipped onto the stage, he directly grabbed the sleeve of a white-bearded old man and said loudly,
"It's a big deal!"
All the people gathered around and asked, "What's the alarm, speak quickly!" ”
Yu Xuan said, "Then Cao Jun took Jiangling again, and took Jiangling again——"
Hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked, and it was a mess for a while!
At this time, the lights on the stage dimmed again, as if representing the panicked hearts of Dongwu!
All the Soochow officials on the stage had their backs to the audience, and on the curtain behind them, through the curtain, it seemed that they could see huge ships thinking about their attack!
The audience in the audience also let out an exclamation, what a strong visual impact.
There was a sound of gongs and drums, and everyone turned their sleeves and turned their heads at the same time!
The person who was grabbed by Yu Chu's sleeve just now was Zhang Zhao, and at this time, he said with a frightened face,
"Cao's army is strong and difficult to resist!"
Feng Jianxun's Bu Qi stepped out and said,
"Dongwu is outnumbered, it's better to surrender early!"
It's all capitulation!
And the generals on the other side all shouted loudly,
"The water comes to Tutun, and the soldiers will block it!"
Another veteran actor who played Xue Zong came out and waved his hand, saying,
"Hit a stone with an egg, and you will die in battle!"
The generals shouted in unison, "Fight!" ”
Not to be outdone, the civil officials said, "Surrender!" ”
"Fight! ——”
"Surrender! ——”
The two sides were also at a stalemate for a while!
At this moment, a clear shout rang out.
"Mr. Kong Ming has arrived—"
Hearing this familiar voice, Feng Xiaozhi and Chu Lianxiang in the audience showed relieved expressions on their faces!
Many people also heard this voice, and they couldn't help but shout Lin Mu's name!
Today, Lin Mu is a well-deserved top performer in the Peking Opera industry!
Especially at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala a week ago, Lin Mu suddenly became a hot figure with a song "Young China Says", and was regarded by countless people as the most sober young man in modern times!
Because most of the Chinese people have been brainwashed by this materialistic society, their values have become distorted.
And Lin Mu, although he has become famous and his net worth has surpassed that of many people, he still does not forget his original intention, has always insisted on the opera stage, and has always hoped to use this kind of positive energy song to understand more people!
This makes Lin Mu the most maverick existence!
……
On the stage, the Dongwu civil and military forces, who were still facing each other violently just now, also dispersed instantly when they heard this!
A flute sounded and blew away the aura of the sword soldier just now in an instant!
A young man in the audience smiled and whispered, "Young, this Zhuge Liang also brought his own BGM to the stage!" ”
Lin Mu walked out first, walked to the entrance of the stage with a friendly smile, and arched his hand in the direction of the door!
Yu Zhikui, who played Zhuge Liang, walked out quickly!
The audience directly sent a meeting!
Because of Lin Mu, an excellent actor, Yu Zhikui was able to stay away from the heavy performance tasks and let his body get a good rest!
This more than a year of rest has not only allowed Yu Zhikui's art to decline, but also given him more time to calm down and study and correct some of his shortcomings, but has made a lot of progress!
Many people couldn't help but shed tears of excitement when they saw Yu Zhikui on stage!
Because they obviously felt that Yu Zhikui's temperament and spirit were very different, and they even felt that Yu Zhikui was a lot younger!
Yu Zhikui has been performing non-stop, although everyone likes him very much, but it can also be seen that the 60-year-old Yu Zhikui has a feeling of being a little powerless!
Lin Mu was able to take Yu Zhikui's place, which made many people happy that Yu Zhikui could take a back seat!
And this time, seeing Yu Zhikui's performance with such a spirit again, it is like a world away!
Yu Zhikui was dressed in a white crane, holding a white feather fan in his hand, with a towering scarf on his head, and a fairy look, standing there, so that the handsome Lin Mu was compared!
This costume, which is a real Su embroidery, is handmade, and it is worn on Zhikui's body, so handsome that you don't want it!
One of the biggest attractions of "Red Cliff" this time is the costumes!
In this performance, hundreds of costumes were all made by the embroiderers of the south!
These costumes alone are worth more than 100 million!
At that time, when this offer came out, some people felt that it was too expensive, and for a performance, they spent more than 100 million yuan on costumes alone, which was also too extravagant!
However, several of the leading actors finally settled the matter!
After all, for a premiere that is destined to go down in the history of Peking Opera, costumes are one of the most crucial points.
In the first fold before, Meng Guanglu's red dragon python robe overwhelmed the audience as soon as he appeared, and the importance of costumes can already be seen!
And in this scene, the white crane on Yu Zhikui's body is even more shining, directly raising the image of Zhuge Liang to an incredible height!
Handsome exploded!
