Chapter 262: Famous Actors from All Walks of Life Appear on the Scene (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The round platform under Wang Yanli's feet went down, and a round platform next to it lit up, and a woman dressed in a magnificent dress stood there!
It is Zhang Huodeng, the excellent inheritor of Cheng Pai Tsing Yi, who has also been affectionately known by fans as the Tsing Yi actor of the "God of Lights"!
"Listen to Xue Liang's words to tell me-"
"Full of arrogance and snow disappear—"
Cheng Pai's unique singing voice made the audience below applaud!
Mr. Cheng Yanqiu, the ancestor of the Cheng School, is definitely a Peking Opera genius.
Mei Shang Cheng Xun's four genres, if you let a person who has never heard Peking Opera and knows nothing about Peking Opera listen to it, and then ask her, which one is the most special singing voice!
If you find a hundred people, it is estimated that these 100 people will choose Cheng Pai!
Because Mr. Cheng Yanqiu was not as good as before after the collapse, at the beginning, Cheng Pai's singing style was jokingly called "ghost sound" by the original Peking Opera industry!
This statement is half positive and half depreciated, because the saying "ghost sound" is generally used in some singing skills of old students!
For example, the singing segment of Wen Zhaoguan's soldiers, the original version of Erhuang Kuai: "Who am I talking to coldly...... Daddy, Mother, ......" is used to express the grief of the characters.
This is a kind of sound made by an old student in the high register with a "falsetto".
This sound is very effective when used as a color timbre, but if you use it too much, the listener will feel tired and uncomfortable.
The traditional Tsing Yi industry uses a "small voice" instead of a "ghost sound".
The two are audibly easily distinguishable, and the timbre is quite different.
The "little voice" has a sweet voice, while the "ghost sound" is not so crisp and bright.
In the early days of Chengpai's vocal cavity creation, many "small cavities" were biased towards "ghost sounds".
This is because after Mr. Cheng's vocal cords changed his voice, his vocal cords were rough and poorly closed, and he couldn't make a "small voice" sound, so he had no choice but to do so.
And Mr. Cheng is also very clear about his own problems, so he said to the juniors, you have a good voice, don't learn from the Cheng School.
In fact, this is starting from the pursuit of timbre, and praising and depreciating one's own voice realistically, not that only people with a bad voice can learn the Cheng School!
The pursuit of the style of the line, the decline of strength in his later years, and the timbre of avoiding the "ghost sound" as much as possible, these factors led to Mr. Cheng's singing style in his later years to be dominated by a low and tactful tone.
Therefore, the current Cheng faction's singing voice sounds incompatible with the other three factions!
However, it is undeniable that Cheng Pai's vocal cavity is really one of the four famous artists that can compete with the Meipai vocal cavity system!
The most important point of Cheng Pai is that the words are correct and round!
Xuecheng School, if your pronunciation is not accurate, then the tone you sing will be very ugly!
Zhang Huodeng can be regarded as the best among the heirs of the Cheng faction today!
"Human warmth and coldness are made out of thin air——"
"Who can move it by half a cent—"
"I'm not enough, she's under—"
"She's hungry and cold, I'm delicate—"
Seeing the "God of Lights" standing there singing a low turn, many lantern fans also shed tears of excitement!
Because Zhang Huodeng has been a visiting professor at the Huaxia Opera Academy in recent years, he has rarely even appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala!
Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang Huodeng was able to represent Cheng Pai on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again, and he was standing here as the heirs of the four famous Dans, which made those lantern fans excited!
After all, the Cheng School, as the second only school in the Mei School among the four famous Dans, has the most descendants, but due to some historical reasons, the interior of the Cheng School can be said to be full of mountains.
The problem of the Cheng faction has been around for a long time, and now it is the public saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother is reasonable.
However, this time, Zhang Huodeng was able to appear here, which was also beyond the expectations of many people!
"Give me a coral treasure—"
"Ann her half a life of the phoenix nest-"
"Busy whispering to Mei Xiang—"
"Don't tell your name—"
There were more than a dozen "whoops" in a row, and the audience who listened to them all shook their heads and applauded loudly!
"Suo Lin Bag" can be said to be the most classic repertoire of the Cheng School, and in this play, what is very impressive is the "busy calling Mei Xiang in a low voice" in this section of "Spring and Autumn Pavilion", and a series of Cheng Pai's unique low-pitched and tactful trills "Whoop", which makes the audience have a deep impression of this play!
Mei Shangcheng, the three genres have been displayed, and everyone looks at the actor on the fourth round stage, although he can't see clearly, but has a slender figure and a delicate energy!
The lights of the fourth round platform lit up, and sure enough, it was the most famous character of the Xun faction, the little matchmaker!
And this person is also an actor of the National Peking Opera Company, a Hua Dan actor of the Second Troupe, Zhang Jiachun.
Zhang Jiachun is not very old, he is just forty years old this year, but he has amazing talent, he has studied under many famous masters of the Cheng School, and now he is the pillar of the second regiment!
This time, she was able to represent the Xun faction on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which was also a great encouragement for her.
I saw that she was wearing a red costume and a phoenix bun on her head, and the whole person looked so festive!
"Tell Zhang Sheng to hide under the chessboard—"
Zhang Jiachun vividly expressed the naughty and cute appearance of the matchmaker, and the streamers and chessboard in his hands couldn't stop swaying up and down, as if he was following the handsome Zhang Sheng!
"I'll walk and you climb step by step—"
"Be bold, swallow your anger, and be afraid—"
I saw Zhang Jiachun like an acrobatic, pinching the opposite corner of the chessboard with both hands, and with a little force, the chessboard was like a spinning top, turning quickly between her hands!
"Follow me, little matchmaker, and you'll be able to meet her—"
"It's a romantic story—"
"Listen to the order and don't alarm her-"
Zhang Jiachun held the chessboard with one hand, his hands couldn't stop dancing, the chessboard and streamers were intertwined, and the audience was dazzled!
Mei Shang Cheng Xun, the four famous Dans, really deserves his name!
From the end of the twenties of the last century, in the "First Peking Opera Danjiao Best Actor" activity, Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, and Xun Huisheng were elected and were known as the "Four Famous Dans" of Peking Opera.
Since then, it has also established the status of Danjiao, and it has become the two most important industries of Peking Opera with the old students!
Today, the four famous Dans have long been ancient, but their descendants are still on the stage of Peking Opera, and their singing and spirit will continue to carry forward!
After the performance of the descendants of the four famous Dans, then next, many audiences are looking forward to whether it will be the descendants of the four great Susheng who are about to appear!
The lights on the round table came on again.
"The dragon and the phoenix enter the imperial city—"
A loud voice that resounded through the sky immediately attracted everyone's attention!
An old Dan actor with a dragon head cane appeared in the camera!
It is the descendant of the Li faction of the Jinmen Peking Opera Company, Lan Wenyun.
Lan Wenyun learned from Lao Dan master Li Duokui, although she did not directly apprentice to Li Duokui, but she is the best Lao Dan actor who inherited the Li faction, and her appearance also rejuvenated the somewhat sluggish Lao Dan industry!
In a section of "Fighting the Dragon Robe", Lan Wenyun sang a heart-wrenching performance, making Lao Dan's profession rarely bloom on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala!
Next, on the lit round platform, Mr. Li Hongtu, the successor of the Ye School Xiaosheng, also came!
"General Ji is going to be full of anger—"
"A certain family has come to listen carefully—"
In a heart-wrenching fragment of "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate", Li Hongtu interprets the generation of war god Lu Bu to the extreme!
After Li Hongtu's performance, another round platform lit up!
Seeing this person, many people's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be Mr. Zhu Shihui, the director of the Peking Opera Company in Hubei Province!
I saw him wearing an official uniform of a Jiupin sesame official, with a piece of tofu drawn on his face, looking extremely funny.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Lao Dan, Xiaosheng finished performing, and this time it was the turn of the harlequin to appear!
Zhu Shihui should be regarded as the first ugly in today's Peking Opera industry, his clown is no longer inferior to any harlequin sage, many people say that Zhu Shihui's clown is already the ugliest in the world!
And Zhu Shihui also created a unique industry, called "Ugly Sheng"!
Because he learned the old students first and changed the ugliness later, he introduced the concept of "ugly students" in his performance masterpiece "Xu Jiujing's Promotion to Official"!
Just like the "handsome dan" of the famous teacher Ma Jinfeng of Henan Opera, it has been recognized by the Peking Opera industry!
Zhu Shihui also lived up to expectations and sang a part of his masterpiece "Xu Jiujing's Promotion to Official"!
The witty and humorous singing style attracted more than one applauding from the audience!
The next round table lights up and a young face catches everyone's attention!
All the actors who appeared before are almost evergreens in the Peking Opera industry, as long as they are fans, everyone is familiar with them!
But the young man who appeared now, the audience felt a little strange!
However, this young man is not ordinary, he comes from the Kyoto Peking Opera Company, and he is one of the few young martial artists of the famous martial arts master Ye Jinyuan.
His name is Zhou Enxu, he looks handsome, has a good figure, and the most rare thing is that he has a good voice that is not inferior to that of an old actor!
Zhou Enxu sang a piece of "Hanjinkou", Guan Yu's appearance amazed the audience, and the singing voice impressed everyone, sure enough, none of the actors who can appear on the Spring Festival Gala are good at stubble!
After Zhou Enxu finished singing, the round platform next to him lit up, and a black figure appeared.
It's Bao Gong!
And the actor who plays Bao Gong is Meng Guanglu, who has just won the title of "Little King of the Lingjie"!
"Master Pony's money looks at it—"
An allegro of "Quanmei Eucalyptus", which everyone is familiar with, directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the climax!
Sure enough, he is the first person with a flower face today!
When Meng Guanglu finished singing, everyone's eyes looked at the four round platforms in the middle of the last row!
It seems that this must be the heir of the four great sushengs!
"A horse has left the Western Liang Realm—"
A high-pitched voice that is not particularly outstanding made the audience's eyes look over!
Many people have complicated expressions in their eyes!
Because this is the heir of the longest-standing old-fashioned genre in the Peking Opera industry today!
The heir of the Tan faction who has been passed down for seven generations, Tan Zhengyan!
Tan Zhengyan looks good, but compared with his ancestors, his voice conditions are too bad!
In fact, Tan Zhengyan's voice is more suitable for singing Tsing Yi or Xiaosheng, and even becoming a big martial artist is also good.
However, as the sister-in-law of the Tan faction, it seems that inheriting the Tan faction is his responsibility to be born!
Today's Tan Zhengyan's status in the Peking Opera industry is very embarrassing, not up or down, this time he can represent the Tan faction on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it is estimated that his surname Tan has given him a great advantage!
Compared with the four famous descendants in front, Tan Zhengyan's performance is really unsatisfactory!
The light on the round platform next to it is lit up, and it is also from the Kyoto Peking Opera Company, the excellent successor of the Xi School, Mr. Zhang Jianguo!
"The autumn wind and the leaves are drifting—"
One sentence and two yellow touch the board, Zhang Jianguo showed the Xi faction's tone to the fullest.
I heard that some old drama fans were all admiring one after another, and they really deserved to be the first person in today's Xi School!
"I'm worried about the old scholar on the street—"
"The people by the river are fighting for the boat—"
"The dust of the road is non-stop—"
"Eyes come and go—"
"It's a test taker—"
"I, Fan Jin, am the only one trapped at home—"
"I'm restless—"
"If you want to go, you can't go-"
"I don't have three taels of silver in my pocket—"
A piece of "Fan Jinzhongju", Zhang Jianguo's interpretation is very in place, although this play is somewhat unsatisfactory in the Spring Festival Gala, but I have to say that Zhang Jianguo's Xi faction sings really well!
The lights of another round table are on!
An actor wearing a yellow backrest suit, with a backing flag behind him, and a gray beard scattered all over his chest, appeared in the camera!
His appearance immediately attracted the audience to cheer!
"Lin Mu—"
"Lord Shepherd—"
Screams rang out one after another at the scene!
This person is Lin Mu who plays Lao Huang Zhong!
"This letter came at a good time—"
"God helps Huang Zhong succeed in his work-"
"Stand at the camp gate and shout—"
"Big and small, listen to the roots and seedlings—"
"The head is drumming, and the war rice is made-"
"Two drums, tight robes—"
"Three-way drum, knife out of sheath—"
"Four drums, hand over the soldiers—"
"Advance and retreat must listen to the order-"
"A knife in the violation—"
"I'm going back to the camp with my grandfather—"
"By three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will succeed—"
In the last sentence, Lin Mu's voice raised an octave again, and the amazing high tone suddenly made the audience applaud excitedly!
Dressed handsomely and with a high voice, many Peking Opera actors and fans are emotional, Ma Pai is really lucky to use such a talented seedling as Lin Mu!
The lights at Lin Mu's feet dimmed, and the audience still had a feeling of unfinished!
The eighth round platform lit up, and a handsome guy with a lupine scarf appeared.
The audience at the scene immediately applauded!
Because this person is the first person to be a veteran of Peking Opera today, Mr. Yu Zhikui, the vice president of the National Peking Opera Company!
Since playing the role of the new Peking Opera "Red Cliff", the title of "Living Zhuge " has fallen to Yu Zhikui's head!
This Spring Festival Gala, Yu Zhikui also lived up to expectations and re-dressed as Zhuge Liang!
"I'm a Wollongong outman—"
The rhythm of Xipi's adagio, Yu Zhikui's singing voice is already superb, and the audience is applauding continuously!
Since Yu Zhikui is no longer in charge of the performance task of the first troupe of the National Peking Opera Company, the state of the whole person has been very different!
For a long time, the performance tasks of the National Peking Opera Company and the heavy affairs in the theater have overwhelmed Yu Zhikui!
Insomnia, heart season, high blood pressure, these symptoms made the string in Yu Zhikui's head tightened, for fear that when he would fall on the stage!
Fortunately, the appearance of Lin Mu took over the banner in Yu Zhikui's hands!
Over the years, Yu Zhikui has not wanted to quit the performance ranks, but because there is no successor!
The National Peking Opera Company is also trying its best to train young actors, and several young veteran actors have a certain degree of popularity, but it is impossible to take over too Zhikui's class at least within three or five years!
And the emergence of Lin Mu, his popularity has increased like a rocket, and in about a year, he has already gained great popularity.
Since the National Peking Opera Company saw that Lin Mu was able to pick a class to sing roles, and his popularity was no worse than that of Kui Zhi, it agreed to Yu Zhikui's application to withdraw from the performance sequence!
Yu Zhikui, who got a good rest, has undergone earth-shaking changes in his mental state!
At the end of the year, the performance of "Red Cliff", Yu Zhikui's Zhuge Liang gave people a feeling of reaching the peak!
"On Yin and Yang is like Baoding Qiankun——"
"The first emperor went down to Nanyang to drive three times——"
"That's it, the Han family's business is three points-"
"The official seal to the Marquis of Wuxiang is in charge of the handsome seal-"
"The East and the West are fighting in the north and the south, and the ancient and the present are connected-"
"King Wen of Zhou's visit to Jiang Shang's Zhou room is greatly inspired—"
"How can I compare to the gentleman of my predecessors-"
"I'm idle in the enemy building, and I'll shine a shell of piano sounds-"
Yu Zhikui stood there, shaking the feather fan lightly in his hand, and singing the words slowly in his mouth, but that kind of charm is endlessly memorable.
Finally, Yu Zhikui sighed and sang,
"I don't have a soulmate in front of me—"
Although there is no gag tune, no show-off, and no treble in this singing, everyone can feel that this is the best Peking Opera!
Professional theater fans never listen to any high-pitched or quack tunes, and they also hate the deliberate show-off skills of some actors.
On the contrary, what fans like to listen to the most is the slow board and the loose board, which can show the actor's singing ability.
Because Xipi is flowing water, Xipi Allegro, as long as you have a sharp mouth and sing fast enough, it is enough!
However, when you sing adagio, your basic skills, children's skills should not be bad at all, and if you are a little weaker, your singing voice will have problems!
And the loose board is the best board style that reflects the ability of a Peking Opera actor!
The reason why it is called a loose board is because there are no regulations!
No one dictates the way to sing this segment, it all depends on the actor's own ability to sing it!
Often the top Peking Opera actors are the most wonderful when they sing adagio and loose boards!
Because they can show their singing talent perfectly!
Just like Yu Zhikui, he has a light feeling, but the feeling of showing it has an inexplicable shock!
The descendants of the four famous Dan took the lead in winning people, and then the leaders of Lao Dan, Xiaosheng, Harlequin, Wusheng, and Flower Face appeared, and finally, the descendants of the last four major Susheng appeared, a shocking Peking Opera performance, so that the audience was addicted to the play!
The thirteen well-known figures in the Peking Opera industry today seem to be saying to the thirteen sages in the Peking Opera industry a hundred years ago, we have lived up to your efforts!
In the end, the lights were all on, and the thirteen Peking Opera performers sang a song to wish everyone a happy New Year at the same time.
