At half past six in the morning, the sun is rising and the weather is fine!

Gu Che had already woken up at half past five, quickly cooked quick-frozen dumplings for breakfast in the apartment, and habitually squatted in the toilet to browse information.

Recently, he has not slept well, and he is always dreaming, and there are many bizarre contents in his dreams.

What's even stranger is that every time he finishes a dream, he remembers what happened in the dream very clearly, but fortunately, the biological clock still wakes him up on time.

"The place called the earth in the dream is quite interesting, it is very similar to the history of Xia Kingdom, but it is not like, although the entertainment industry is not as developed as Xia Kingdom, there are also many innovative places." Gu Che said to himself.

He had been dreaming about "Earth" for a week.

In his dream, he became an otaku, and his favorite food is the fat house happy package - potato chips with cola, and he also likes to watch various variety shows on the Internet, listen to music, watch movies, etc.

Because he still remembered the content very clearly after waking up from the dream, Gu Che was very envious of himself on the earth in the dream, after all, he had several suites in his hands, and he could live a very nourishing life just by collecting rent.

Although he continued to have "strange dreams", Gu Che's heart was still quite strong, and his work and rest were normal.

He thought to himself that if he had another week of dreams, he would see a psychiatrist.

Although he felt that he was not under much pressure, he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Half an hour later, he was wearing a loose practice uniform, doing all kinds of movements to stretch his muscles and bones, pulling left and right, and the children's skills he had practiced hard since childhood gave him a strong softness in his body.

After practicing for half an hour, the time came to half past six.

Gu Che didn't change out of his practice clothes, just trotted out of the door with a mobile phone, facing the newborn sun, and walked on the sidewalk leading to Binjiang Park.

He lives in the capital of Nanzhou in the Xia Kingdom, a city called Huadu, which is one of the most prosperous cities near Nanzhou.

Gu Che was extremely satisfied with being able to rent a single apartment of about 50 square meters in the bustling Huadu with a housing subsidy of 1,000 yuan per month, not to mention that this apartment was also close to a nearby scenic park.

There are mountains and rivers, good scenery!

As he ran, he occasionally looked at the endless river not far away, and the sun was shining, like a salted egg yolk that would glow high on the riverside.

People had already started their morning jog on the sidewalk, greeting each other, and occasionally a car or two would swish by, rowing through a long whine.

The whole city slowly woke up.

Gu Che also smiled and greeted the people who had come back from a morning run on the road, and the people who were running in the morning were always the same group, and they could bump into each other every morning, even if they were strangers, they would greet each other.

"Gu Che, good morning, go to the park again?" An aunt with a fashionable hot roll rode a shared bicycle parallel to Gu Che with a jingling bell.

"Good morning Aunt Luo, I'm not calling it a hanging voice, it's called practicing the voice, in Cantonese opera, the vocal practice method is called 'ai) sound', and in Peking opera, it is called 'shouting voice'. Vocal practice and voice singing are two different things, simply put, singing is singing, and singing is vocal practice. ”

Gu Che learned about Cantonese opera with Aunt Luo, although Aunt Luo always couldn't remember it.

Every week, Gu Che can meet Aunt Luo, who is a frequent visitor to square dancing in the early morning.

Aunt Luo said with a smile: "Hey, I have this memory, you just told me about it last time, snort snort, anyway, you have to open your voice every day when you sing." ”

Gu Che ran and walked, his face was not red and he said breathlessly: "Yes, auntie, we who study opera, we have to insist on practicing our voice every day since the beginning of enlightenment, so that we can train our hearing and pitch, enhance the lung capacity in the body, and explore ways to fix the resonance of the abdominal cavity." ”

Gu Che said a little more to Aunt Luo today because he still remembered that the last time he left the park, Auntie mentioned to him that she had a little granddaughter who was very curious about Cantonese opera, and asked him if he could send him to study in the Cantonese opera troupe he was in.

The Cantonese opera troupe he worked in was a small Cantonese opera troupe, and the master was dissatisfied with the innovation of Cantonese opera and lost the old taste of the past, so he specially recruited a group of people to sing classical Cantonese opera and strive to preserve the fire of classical Cantonese opera.

In the Cantonese opera troupe, Gu Che plays the role of Xiao Sheng or Xiao Wusheng.

Naturally, it is impossible for a small Cantonese opera troupe to open children's interest classes.

However, some large Cantonese opera troupes will hold relevant interest courses every winter and summer vacation, which can be attended by men, women and children, which can be regarded as making a little contribution to the inheritance of Cantonese opera.

Last time, Gu Che mentioned to her aunt that if her granddaughter is really interested, she can recommend some Cantonese opera interest classes for her aunt, his senior brothers and sisters are all working in large Cantonese opera troupes, and there are channels in this regard, where they will teach with their hearts, and where they will purely play, they all know.

However, my aunt just mentioned it at the time, and I am afraid that I will forget it later, after all, Cantonese opera is a hobby of the older generation, and there are very few people who like it in the new generation.

In terms of children's interests, various Western musical instruments account for half of the sky.

In recent years, there has been a rise in traditional oriental instruments, but this has not stopped Cantonese opera as a niche hobby.

Gu Che thought of this, and sighed slightly-

Cantonese opera!

Who would have thought that Cantonese opera, which once had the reputation of "southern red beans", would be brilliant in its glory and quickly come to an end in just a few decades.

In the past, the "children of the red boat" took the red boat used for singing and opera, shuttling back and forth to and from various ports to perform in the riverside inland river, and the flowers were endless, but now the Cantonese opera in some places is unable to make a living, and one after another has closed down.

From the thousands of Cantonese opera houses, only more than 100 are still active.

Alas, the loneliness of Cantonese opera is something that the industry has recognized.

Gu Che shook his head and deliberately glanced at Aunt Luo, not knowing if she would remember what she asked last time.

The last time his aunt asked casually, he remembered that he went back and asked the senior brother and sister, but he was embarrassed to mention it to the aunt again, some things can't be forced, and it won't be beautiful to say a few more words.

Today, Aunt Luo was different from usual, she didn't immediately overtake Gu Che after saying hello, and took the lead to go to the square to occupy a place.

The red light came on in front of us, and everyone stopped.

While waiting for the traffic light, Aunt Luo turned her head to look at Gu Che's handsome face, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and asked, "Gu Che, how old are you this year?" ”

Gu Che: "Twenty-five years old, auntie. ”

Aunt Luo smiled: "Okay, good, you look like a college student who has just graduated!" ”

Gu Che smiled, just wanted to say that he was not like a college student, he was successful in the graduate school entrance examination and was still studying in college, but the next sentence of Aunt Luo's words floated in-

"Do you have a girlfriend, do you want your aunt to introduce you?"

The smile on Gu Che's face froze.

He didn't expect the pain that Senior Brother had encountered recently to befall him so quickly, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Gu Che quickly replied: "Not yet, Auntie, I'm still young, I want to make more money first, don't worry." ”

The red light goes out, the green light comes on, and the crowd begins to surge.

Auntie rode slowly and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, but I can talk to someone first, I have a relative's daughter, who is beautiful and has a good job, and is about the same age as you, why don't you get to know you another day?" ”

Gu Che shook his head resolutely: "No need Auntie, I have no plans for this for the time being." ”

Aunt Luo was a little regretful, but she also knew that some things could not be forced, so she only said: "If you want to find it in the future, you can ask me, and Auntie will definitely introduce you to a good one!" ”

She has a very accurate eye for people, this handsome young man is sincere and cheerful, enthusiastic and kind, although the work of singing is not very popular, but she can inquire that singing makes a lot of money.

After all, this job is not for everyone.

As for the family background, those who can come to inquire later, such a handsome person will grab him by the hand first, and he will not be able to do it later...... Isn't it okay to fall in love?

How simple!

Gu Che said with a smile: "Okay aunt, next time I take the initiative to look for you, I will definitely come to you, don't dislike me at that time, I want you to introduce me." ”

The smile on Aunt Luo's face was even bigger: "No, no, Auntie likes a sincere and kind young man like you." ”

After the traffic light, Gu Che trotted a little longer and came to Binjiang Park.

Riverside Park is overcrowded at this time, so there are fewer people than at night.

In the park, the most deserted time is during the day when people go to work.

Gu Che can sing anywhere, and there is no fixed place in the park, but recently I found a few "old friends" who like to sing, so everyone fixed a location-

The rain lotus garden next to the three willow trees on the bank of the big river lake.

Yuheyuan is the name of a small pavilion that was originally occupied by a group of square dancing aunts.

Later, the dancing team expanded, and the aunts thought that the seat of Yuheyuan was too small, so they decided to abandon it.

The uncles who had been watching for a long time seized the opportunity to quickly occupy Yuhe Garden, and pulled Gu Che, who was also a singer, into the camp and completely gained a foothold in Yuhe Garden.

"Gu Che, here, I haven't seen you for a week, have you?" Uncle Qing, whose temples were gray, lit up and shouted.

Gu Che grinned: "Good morning, Uncle Qing, I went to other places with the troupe last week for exchanges." ”

Last week, he went to Sai Chau with the Cantonese opera troupe and had a friendly exchange with the Sichuan opera troupe there.

However, in Gu Che's view, the troupe is more like two poor animals hugging each other to keep warm, and the two old troupe leaders call Big Brother with tears in their eyes as soon as they meet, telling each other about the world's difficulties.

Cantonese opera is quite miserable, because it is limited to the local language, it has always been relatively niche, but there are still a group of old fans in the local area to support it.

As for Sichuan Opera, Sichuan Opera is not very good, and it has been learned that people only know how to change their faces when they mention Sichuan Opera, and they don't know anything else.

It's a pity that a big drama lasts three or four hours, is it possible that Sichuan opera has to change its face for three or four hours to be a colorful kaleidoscope?

can only say that the world is not easy, and drama is difficult.

Taking out the mobile phone, Gu Che was about to turn on the unique music for sound accompaniment, but was pulled by Uncle Qing.

"No, there is a heavyweight coming over today, and he is a good player who can pull "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", and he will accompany us!"

Gu Che was stunned, a little surprised: "Isn't it a bit overkill to be able to pull Erquan Yingyue and pull 35231 for us (the representative notes of Cantonese opera, the beginning of the ruler score, which is equivalent to the Bangzi knurling of Cantonese opera)?" ”

Uncle Qing glared and disagreed: "How can it be overkill, I haven't disliked him yet!" ”

"Okay, you Erqing, I just came here and heard you bury me!"

A gentleman with the same gray sideburns walked over, wearing a special performance costume for pulling erhu, and a pair of round black glasses pinned between the collar.

The old man walked over, saw Gu Che, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Can you sing Cantonese opera?" ”

Gu Che smiled shyly: "Yes, uncle, I am a singer in the Cantonese opera troupe." ”

"Will it be the Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms?" The man asked.

"The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms" describes Su Qin, a student of Guiguzi in the Warring States Period, who went to the Six Kingdoms to lobby for a plan to unite the Six Kingdoms from being invaded by the Qiang Qin. Su Qin was eloquent, and was influenced by the princes of the six countries, and the ministers of the six countries, and the seal of the six countries.

The two most troublesome, tiring, pomp and circumstance in the Cantonese opera industry are also the largest: "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms" and "Split Fork".

There is a jargon called "life seals, death forks", which is enough to see that the latter is more difficult than the former.

The people of "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms" take turns to play, and there is room for one person to play multiple roles before and after, while "Split" has a link where all the characters are on the same stage, and it is impossible to take tricks.

In the past, all Cantonese opera troupes had to sing a song called "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms", and each actor would be given a period of time to perform their basic skills, as well as show off their luxurious clothes and props.

Wen Jiao shows his acting skills, and Wu Jiao shows his skills, which is similar to reviewing the nature of actors.

Due to the large number of characters, the drum music is sonorous and magnificent, and the performance must be full of the strength of the troupe. Therefore, playing this on the first night in a new place is similar to the meaning of showing the strength of an opera troupe.

The true scale of a drama troupe can already be seen by looking at the first scene of "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms".

It's just that with the changes and development of the times, many people who watch the opera are impatient to watch "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms", and Cantonese opera troupes are often urged when they can play in the main opera, so many Cantonese opera troupes have abolished this tradition.

Of course, this has also caused dissatisfaction among many old Cantonese opera fans, and some Cantonese opera troupes will be scolded for cutting corners if they do not perform "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms" when they go abroad for visits and exchanges.

The success is also the audience, and the defeat is also the audience, which is embarrassing.

Gu Che really likes Cantonese opera, otherwise he wouldn't have told his parents that he wanted to learn at a very young age, plus a little fate and talent, he coincidentally apprenticed to Ding Taiqi (one of the masters of Cantonese opera in the old era).

The master is very dissatisfied with the changes and innovations of Cantonese opera in recent years, and as a traditional master of the older generation, the Cantonese opera troupe he has set up will definitely follow the old routine.

With the song "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms", you can know if you are an old Cantonese opera fan.

Gu Che's eyebrows fluttered and said: "That's for sure, the traditional Cantonese opera must be able to play!" ”

"Okay, I'll accompany you after you're done, or I'll sing a play of "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms", and your theater should have your role in it, right?"

Seeing that Gu Che was refreshed, the old man was also arrogant in his heart, and his hands were itchy and wanted to pull for a long time.

Gu Che thought that he was willing to communicate with Cantonese opera lovers, but after the snort, he almost had to set off to check in and report to the Cantonese opera troupe.

Even if the Cantonese opera troupe doesn't take over the play, they still have to clock in and go to work.

Well, the kind that goes to work with pay!

Without waiting for Gu Che to think about how to refuse, Uncle Qing said: "People are going to work in the Cantonese Opera Troupe, and they don't have time to sing!" Huang Dashuai, don't you toss hard when you see a person, and you have to find a special theater to listen to the play. ”

Huang Dashuai glared at Uncle Qing, and the two glared at each other, no one was convinced.

It was still others who shouted whether they wanted to make a noise or not, and the two of them gave up.

In the erhu scale with the traditional ruler notation, everyone practices the monophonic notes such as "babbling", "ya", "oh" and "woo" from low to high, and then from high to low.

Hissing is a very boring process, and it is also a process of waking up the throat, which is the basic skill that opera actors must do every day.

The voice that has not gone through the sound is the overnight sound, and the voice is dry and stagnant compared with the normal state, and it is not bright and mellow enough.

If someone pronounced it incorrectly, Gu Che would help correct it.

The pronunciation is wrong, it's more about the wrong way to open your voice, and if you practice wrong for a long time, it will hurt your throat.

During this period, there was square dancing music next door, which made Gu Che a little distracted.

It suddenly occurred to him that the music he heard in his dream was a little similar to the music of this square dance.

It's all the same upbeat tunes and dynamic melodies.

When he thought of the music he heard in his dreams, he remembered many songs that were perfect for square dancing, and were called square dance divine comedy on earth.

Suddenly, his body shook, his eyes widened, and his face was horrified, surprised, panicked, and incredulous.

After a week of strange dreams, he realized it later-

The earth in the dream is a completely different world from the Xia Kingdom.

In other words, there are no music, variety shows, film and television, animation, etc. on the earth!

Is he okay then......

Bring the music from the earth to the Xia Kingdom, including a few Cantonese opera classics that are out of the circle on the earth?!
