"Master's oral teachings, when they come to us, need to go through a process of digestion from the outside to the inside and then from the inside to the outside, and they must not be rigidly imitated and mechanically copied."

"The so-called from the outside to the inside is to crush what we hear, see, and learn little by little, and slowly integrate into our own performances through imitation and learning, and feel these things with our own hearts!"

"From the inside out, it is to slowly show these things that you have realized on the stage, adjust and correct, and slowly, make these things your habits."

"However, one thing must not be rigidly imitated and mechanically copied!"

"Although many people think that Peking Opera is not just an imitation, just like our horse school, whoever learns from Mr. Ma Lianliang is the most similar, then whoever is the best!"

Lin Mu shook his head with a smile and continued,

"Actually, this is not the case, Peking Opera has never been an imitation of the arts, at the beginning of learning, of course, you can only imitate, but after a certain stage, if you still blindly pursue the same as the founder of the genre, then you are really going astray!"

When Bai Yansen heard this, he also interjected a sentence in a timely manner!

"How can it be misguided, I think it is indeed a very powerful thing to be able to imitate it, don't many actors now pursue to be like the founder of the genre?"

Bai Yansen also asked knowingly, helping some laymen and beginners to ask!

Lin Mu shook his head and said, "I also said that beginners learning Peking Opera must be imitated, which is an inevitable thing, but one thing is very important, any genre is studied by the founder according to his own voice characteristics and performance style, that is to say, any genre is the most perfect singing voice for the founder, and for others, it may not be!" ”

Lin Mu's words, like a bolt of lightning, exploded above many people's heads!

It's not that no one has thought of this, but few people can say it so thoroughly!

Bai Yansen's eyes when he looked at Lin Mu had become very admiring!

Lin Mu can say such words, which means that he has begun to explore his own way!

Nowadays, most Peking Opera actors are still on the road of imitating the founder of the genre, listening to old recordings every day, watching former videos, learning the founder's tricks and styles, and trying to make themselves like the founder of the genre as much as possible!

It's not that they don't want to find their own path, it's that they don't have the ability!

Just like the founders of those genres at the beginning, he also learned the singing methods of other genres at the beginning, and then learned from others, eliminated those things that were not suitable for him, and slowly found his own style, and finally formed his own genre through more than ten years or even decades of stage experience!

Of course, individual talent and hard work are important!

Bai Yansen said with emotion, "It's really better to listen to your words, it's better to read for ten years, Lin Mu, have you started to explore your own style now?" ”

Lin Mu bowed his head slightly and said, "This is the only way for every aspiring Peking Opera performer, I want to be like those predecessors who created the genre, I want to see what the wider world is like!" ”

Lin Mu's words made everyone feel that his body was shining!

At this moment, no one dares to say that Lin Mu is not worthy of the show "Jiao'er is Coming"!

Some Peking Opera masters who are not too old showed helplessness and admiration when they saw this!

Lin Mu's truth is actually known to many people, but it is easier said than done, not every Peking Opera actor has such talent and understanding!

In the entire 200-year history of the Peking Opera industry, there are only dozens of people who can create their own genres!

"It's amazing, I hope you can succeed soon!"

Bai Yansen also nodded at Lin Mu with a serious face!

As a colleague in the Peking Opera industry, he naturally hopes to see the emergence of a grandmaster-level Peking Opera master who can lead the Peking Opera industry back to glory!

……

"Lin Mu, I think the 'comprehension formula' you just said shouldn't have finished yet, right?"

Bai Yansen pulled the topic back again!

Lin Mu bowed his head slightly and said, "This 'comprehension of words' of mine was actually realized from my master, Mr. Feng Xiaozhi. ”

"When I first started my apprenticeship, I practiced with Master every day, and I felt that I was already singing very well, but one day, Master asked me to practice in front of the mirror, and without saying anything, he asked me to sing in front of the mirror."

"At the time, I didn't understand what was going on, anyway, I sang it, and I sang it every day, and after singing for a month, I realized that something was wrong, because I felt that the me in the mirror was no longer me!"

Hearing Lin Mu's words, Bai Yansen's eyes couldn't help but widen and asked,

"It's not you, what do you mean?"

Suddenly, a kind of coolness surged into the hearts of many audiences!

I'm going, is it so exciting?

Lin Mu smiled slightly and said, "Don't have that expression, I'm not talking about feudal superstition, I mean, the state I show in the mirror is different from what I think in my heart!" ”

"Seeing that I seemed to understand something, my master called me to me and told me the purpose of doing this!"

"After all, singing is to perform in front of the audience, but the state you show may not be consistent with what you think in your heart, so you have to look at the mirror every day to perform, and feed back your eyes, expressions, figures, and style to your heart one by one, when, you in the mirror are consistent with the one in your heart, then your performance can do whatever you want!"

"This is the key to 'understanding the word', looking in the mirror, reflecting your 'appearance', reflecting your figure, your style, and your 'heart'!"

"Distraction is not distraction, every word is true and false, the drama starts from the heart, and the stage is full of love."

Lin Mu said these twenty words word by word, and Bai Yansen's eyes lit up when he heard it, as if he heard the sound of Lun.

When many Peking Opera actors in front of the TV heard this, they also seemed to be enlightened, and they seemed to have a trace of enlightenment in their hearts!

Lin Mu's twenty words, although they sound simple, there is nothing special about them.

However, the truth of the world is actually very simple, and it is not as complicated as everyone thinks!

Not to mention the Peking Opera industry, let's just say that in the film and television industry, there are some actors who are praised as fairy acting skills, and what they act like.

If you ask him how he did it, the answer is basically the same!

Feel the role, understand the role, and go deep into the role,......

In fact, it boils down to one word, intentions!

Only if you really put your mind to it, many things will come naturally!

There are many Peking Opera actors on the stage, don't look at his singing, he seems to be very hardworking, and his performance is also devoted, but the feeling to the audience is one word, fake!

In fact, this is the result of carelessness!

The so-called reading should be taught, and learning drama should be taught!

It means that you have to use your brain to understand the content of the play and bring the characters in the play to life!

"In the past, our opera masters were very modest, and when they spoke, we had no culture, but their so-called lack of culture, in fact, was about the kind of culture that the public understood, they were really lacking, because most of them had not gone to school, so a lot of knowledge was missing, in today's words, it should be that they have no diploma, but they have no culture, that is all a lie!"

"It's like a doctoral student today, he may not be able to have more common sense knowledge than a high school student, but for the subject he specializes in, he is the real king, can you say that he has no culture!"

"Every opera master, in the opera industry, they are equivalent to the top doctoral supervisors, and their understanding of opera is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

"Another point is actually very important, that is, the perception of life, acting must understand the drama and drama theory, and find out the life basis of every word and tone in the play, and every move and style, so that the program action has a purpose, and the characters performed in the outside will be "live". ”

Bai Yansen nodded with deep understanding and said, "Well, that's right, the opera people I interviewed also once said that although everything on the stage is fake, the feelings must be real, so that fans and friends can recognize you!" ”

Lin Mu nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, I used to sing with my own feelings, and rarely figured out the heart of each character, once, when I was playing "Fishing and Killing Home", I played Sean, rowing on the field, the scene played the gong and drum beat of 'string hammer', Sean had a paddle while throwing the mustache action, at the beginning of the performance, I just threw three mustaches according to the master's teaching, but I don't understand why I did it! ”

Lin Mu's words made Bai Yansen also fall into thinking.

The play "Fishing and Killing Home" can be regarded as a very classic one-day duel in Peking Opera, and almost every old student and Hua Dan actor has performed this play.

This play is about Ruan Xiaoqi, who retired to the rivers and lakes in "Water Margin", and obtained a jewel under the pseudonym Xiao En, which was put on his head to avoid water, and later this jewel was regarded as a token of his daughter Xiao Guiying and Hua Rong's son Hua Fengchun.

Xiao En couldn't catch fish due to the drought and shallow water, so he owed the fishing tax to the village eunuch Ding Shixie, and Ding Zixie sent Ding Lang to collect the fishing tax.

The Ding Mansion sent the master to lead the family to take Xiao En, but Xiao En couldn't bear it anymore and beat everyone to the ground.

Then Xiao En went to the yamen again and sued the fishing tyrant Ding Shixie, but the Dante Mansion colluded with the official office, and the county official Lu Ziqiu scolded Xiao En with a cane of forty and forced him to cross the river to Ding to apologize.

Xiao En was indignant, and he took his daughter across the river at night, and in the name of offering the orb, he entered the Ding Mansion at night and killed the whole family of the fisherman.

The whole name of this play is "Qingding Zhu", which is composed of excerpts such as "Debao", "Qingzhu", "Competition", "Zhu Hiring", "Fishing", "Evil Revenge", "Blame", "Offering Pearls", "Killing Family", "Surrendering Relatives", "Robbing Prison", "Zhu Yuan" and other excerpts!

Among them, the two folds of "fishing" and "killing home" have endured for a long time, so they synthesized a play, "Fishing and Killing Home"!

In this play, Bai Yansen also sang Sean when he was ticketing the play, and he also knew the action of three slashes, but after hearing Lin Mu say this, he also suddenly reacted, why did he do this action?

Many veteran actors in front of the TV are also in deep thought, except for some veteran actors of the older generation, there are only a handful of people who can answer Lin Mu's question!

Bai Yansen asked curiously, "Then do you have an answer?" ”

"Because I was so busy at that time, I didn't go back to the capital, and I didn't have time to visit Master, so I didn't get an answer!"

When Bai Yansen heard this, he was a little disappointed in his heart.

"However, one time I was performing in a mountain town, and the show was over, and I wanted to go shopping in the mountain town, so I swept a shared bicycle."

Lin Mu changed his words and mentioned the experience of a performance, which made Bai Yansen suddenly interested!

"Everyone also knows what the road conditions are like in the mountain city, so when I go uphill, I have to stand up and push hard, and as a result, my body sways from side to side, and the scarf around my neck also swings naturally."

"At that moment, I realized!"

Lin Mu's words made Bai Yansen, who was sitting opposite, also shine in his eyes!

He also understood what Lin Mu meant when he said this experience!

Many veteran actors in front of the TV also had this scene in their minds!

Basically most people who have ever ridden a bicycle will have this experience!

However, everyone has experienced it, and there are very few people who can relate this point to Peking Opera!

Later, I went to the master to confirm my thoughts, and the master told me that the reason why I wanted to shake the mustache was to reflect the old age of Shaun, the boat arrived in the center of the river, the water was deep and rapid, and in order to paddle hard to make the boat move forward, the mustache on the chest was driven to swing back and forth, and the three "mustache throws" were programmed to show Xiao's hard paddling and arranging the figure. ”

As he spoke, Lin Mu stood up directly, picked up a pair of mustaches from the table next to him and put them on!

I saw Lin Mu's head flick slightly, and his mustache suddenly stretched out in the air, full of beauty.

What a trick "mustache and mouth work"!

With the action of paddling in Lin Mu's hand, coupled with these three flicks, it suddenly confirmed what Lin Mu just said!

Indeed, these three movements of throwing the mustache are to highlight Sean's old age, and when it comes to Jiang Xin's hard paddling.

All of a sudden, the image of the character comes alive!

And after throwing the mustache three times, Lin Mu didn't come back, but said, "When I got off the field, Sean still had three more kicks, which echoed the previous three times, but the mood was completely different!" ”

So, Lin Mu paddled again, and three consecutive slashes, and the camera was also very intimate to give a close-up shot, so that everyone could see Lin Mu's eyes and expressions!

The first time he shook his mustache, Lin Mu's eyes looked up, the second time he shook his mustache, his eyes looked into the distance, and the third time he shook his mustache, his eyes looked at the ground under his feet!

There is a clear difference between these three times and the first three flicks, especially the eyes and expressions!

After doing these actions, Lin Mu said with a smile, "These three movements are completely to reflect Sean's mood at this time, the first three flicks are caused by the sparkling lake just appeared, and Sean struggled to row, and the last three flicks were because Sean was funded by a friend, had money in his hands, and was naturally happy in his heart, so the first time he saw the bright moon, the second time he saw the reeds by the river, and the last time he saw the sparkling lake, he went home in a cheerful mood!" ”

Lin Mu's explanation made Bai Yansen applaud!

Many old actors in front of the TV also showed their expressions!

They are also grateful to Lin Mu for being able to explain this paragraph in such detail in the show!
