Chapter 166: Love at a Glance
As the white snake's humming ended, the lights suddenly dimmed, and when the lights were raised again, they returned to the appearance of no one on the broken bridge.
The first two big words "love" were hit on the big screen.
In the audience, many people were attracted by the opening chant, and although some people could not understand Cantonese opera and could only read the subtitles, they could feel the graceful beauty of Cantonese opera.
Some of them are natives of Nanzhou, and they suddenly heard such a tone of Cantonese, and they all expressed different feelings.
The stage is getting ready, and the audience is already excitedly interacting with each other.
"The actor who just appeared on the stage is Gu Che's senior sister He Huanying, her stage makeup is so beautiful!"
"Gu Che's senior sister is also very proficient in Cantonese opera, and she has only heard her Cantonese humming in music before, but it is too short to judge her strength. Now that I hear this, I really deserve to be the horn of Hua Dan! ”
"You don't know this, Gu Chebai's teacher is Ding Taiqi, Ding Taiqi is a Cantonese opera master in the last century, an artist of the older generation, but he is gradually retiring and asking about the world. They all got the true biography of Ding Taiqi, and it is normal for Cantonese opera skills to be good! ”
"Alas, why didn't I hear Gu Che sing Cantonese opera, the opening remarks were all on the White Lady."
Just as the audience was talking, the lighting of the stage changed again, and several girls wearing Cantonese opera costumes appeared.
They swayed in a puff of smoke, and gradually, more and more girls appeared, singing and dancing merrily.
"Blue sky, water ripples, a night of lotus boats rowing through the water and sky, the water is wide and the fish sinks, why do you need to look for it"
Some girls waved their hands with lotus leaves, and everyone realized that this was a group of lotus leaf essences!
So cute!
This piece of music is an old song card [Love Song] that has been re-filled with words and is being performed on stage in a new way.
The so-called song brand name is a general term for the tune name used in the traditional lyrics and notation, commonly known as "brand", which was created early in the morning and is a song and song handed down in ancient times.
Later, the beautiful tunes were screened and retained, and the new words were re-filled according to the rhythm of the original words and tunes, and they were put on the stage to show.
Some people's expressions moved slightly, this melody is somewhat similar to Gu Che's song "Moonlight Illuminates the Ground"!
These Cantonese opera actors have the same pace and movement, and the makeup is also the same, giving people a sense of harmony and regularity.
Just as this group of lotus leaf spirits was humming, the White Lady and Xiaoqing appeared on the broken bridge.
In order to reflect the feeling of the snake's fluttering lightness, the steps of the White Lady and Xiaoqing on the stage are specially designed, and many times they walk on tiptoe, showing lightness and agility.
The two of them mingled with a group of spirits, dancing and frolicking with them.
At this time, many people who were new to Cantonese opera also found that this Cantonese opera was very much like a song and dance drama, and there was almost no moment when the music stopped.
Even if they stopped the music during the conversation, the Cantonese opera dialogue they used had its own rhythm, as if it were being hummed like a song.
The two are chatting about the good season in the world now, the dignified and elegant white lady, and Xiaoqing's lively and very amused and cheerful little expression, all of which left a deep impression on the audience.
"It turns out that Cantonese opera is not so boring!"
"Who said that Cantonese opera is only liked by the elderly, I like to watch Cantonese opera now!"
"I didn't think those Cantonese opera songs were good before, but the song "Blue Sky" completely made me into the pit!"
The audience under the stage stared intently at the stage, and the anchor on the other side, who deliberately started the live broadcast, also stared at the stage without blinking, for fear of missing every good-looking detail.
Those anchors can't even take care of their mobile phones unknowingly, because they have a hunch that this drama is going to be popular!
While you can still see the scene, hurry up and watch it!
Don't want to buy a ticket to watch it at that time, you can't buy it!
Not to mention what the anchor thinks in his heart, those netizens who are lucky enough to enter the live broadcast room can't sit still after seeing the picture from the anchor.
Because Cantonese opera has a protection agreement on the surface, even if the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" does not prevent netizens from sharing it, but on some social platforms, this kind of sharing cannot get the blessing of traffic.
Even, some platforms with heavy sharing attributes will also suppress the related popularity.
Because they know that this kind of live broadcast is not allowed.
Even if the program team doesn't say anything, their platform already has regulatory requirements for content, and it is impossible to illegally allow these pictures to spread.
Therefore, those anchors who broadcast the stage of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" live are counting on the hope of gaining a group of traffic and fans.
However, the crew's signboard is still very loud.
Because sharing is not forbidden on social media.
If you're streaming the whole thing, that's definitely not okay, but if you're just shooting a minute or two clip and posting it on the site, that's perfectly fine.
In the face of this kind of "short video" with a short time, the platform will also give some traffic support based on popularity.
Now, there are some smarter netizens who followed various clues to the anchor's live broadcast room to watch "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" starring Gu Che together.
Among these netizens, there are Gu Che's fans, as well as sunspots and trolls with unknown attributes, as well as all kinds of passers-by who came over to join in the fun.
As soon as they entered, they felt like they had been "killed"!
[Is this the strength that Cantonese opera should have? How do I feel so strong! 】
[It's too strong, the songs in it are all good! ] 】
[The song is good, the dance is also very beautiful, this is the most valuable wealth left by our ancestors! ] 】
[I used to think that the makeup of Cantonese opera actors was ugly, but now I don't think it anymore, it's really beautiful]
Even more shocking to the audience under the stage and the netizens in front of the screen is still to come.
The next song card [Dressing Table Qiu Si] brought a wave of nostalgia from Cantonese opera fans.
Who likes Cantonese opera and hasn't heard of a song of Imperial Flowers?
And the music card used by the emperor's flower is [Dressing Table Qiusi].
As soon as the melody of this song card sounded, everyone not only thought of the imperial flower, but also evoked a wave of memories to kill.
The lyrics in "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" are naturally not as good as the lyrics of the goddess flower, but being able to bravely start with [Dressing Table Qiu Si] without being wrapped up in classic lyrics has surprised many Cantonese opera fans.
They thought to themselves: This crew is really brave!
The white lady sang while thinking about the front edge, with spring water in her eyes, her cheeks like peach and plum, a sentence like autumn waves "I want to meet him", the trills of the word "he" are just right to do it incomparably, and the inner thoughts are expressed.
Xiaoqing vividly named the biggest contradiction entanglement in this drama-
"Sister, but we are snakes, how can we fall in love with others?"
The white lady's eyebrows were smart, she looked into the distance from afar, and tapped her fingers: "Xiaoqing, do you want to ......"
The music card [take advantage of the good weather] is inserted, giving people a wonderful viewing experience.
Some audiences who don't understand the difference between Cantonese opera and other dramas clearly think that Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera are operas!
It's just that opera is often said by foreigners, but not so in China.
But.
Just look at how many songs appear in "The Legend of the White Snake: Love", saying that this is not a stage play with singing and dancing, they will be the first to jump out and refute it.
No, no, it's clear! Thoroughly yes! Definitely!
Under the watchful eye, Xu Xian, played by Gu Che, slowly walked onto the stage, and deliberately accompanied a very stylish poem.
"It's empty words to go away, and the moon is slanting upstairs for five watches!"
In a crisp whistle, Gu Che appeared in front of everyone, holding a folding fan in his hand, but did not open it.
As soon as he appeared, he also sang a piece of Cantonese opera.
"Dreams are far away, and the book is urged to become ink. Wax shines on half a cage of gold jadeite, musk smoke slightly embroidered hibiscus.
Liu Lang already hates Pengshan far away, and he is more separated from Pengshan by 10,000 weights, and he is separated from Pengshan by 10,000 weights~"
This Cantonese opera is still a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin, called "Untitled Four Songs".
This is the first time that many people have heard Gu Che sing Cantonese opera with their own eyes, and it is so complete that everyone has a very different feeling.
Gu Che is worthy of being a singer who has specialized in Xiaosheng for many years, and as soon as this singing voice is released, experts will know if there is one!
Under the stage, Xie Lianchun, the head of the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe, looked solemn for a while, and when she heard Gu Che's singing, she couldn't help frowning.
But this is not to say that Gu Che sings badly.
It's that Gu Che sings too well!
Gu Che was going to record the show before, so Xie Lianchun went to Feiyue Studio to keep an eye on it, especially the actor who replaced Gu Che to play the spare Xu Xian, who was a very talented student in her Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe.
Xie Lianchun attaches great importance to this actor, and her frequent visits to the studio are also to ensure the quality and let them not slack off.
If Gu Che's recording of a variety show causes the progress of the drama to lag too far behind, it is very likely that the first stage will be for the actors of the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe to play Xu Xian.
Even if no actor from the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe was selected as a standby Xu Xian, Xie Lianchun's attitude in the early stage remained the same.
After all, in addition to the protagonist, the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe also won several main supporting roles.
Not for the protagonist, but for the main match, she also has to ensure the quality.
But later, after Gu Che came back from recording the variety show and devoted himself to rehearsals, Xie Lianchun watched several of his performances and found that he was extremely easy, obviously he could appear as the number one actor, so he didn't go to the studio too much.
Although she couldn't win over Gu Che, she also knew Gu Che's attitude somewhat.
As long as he does something, Gu Che will complete it conscientiously, not to mention that the Cantonese opera rehearsed this time is still related to his brother's future and whether the new Cantonese opera can be developed.
Therefore, Xie Lianchun thinks that Gu Che will be very attentive and attaches no less importance to her.
So not long after Gu Che returned to the stage, she didn't keep an eye on it so diligently.
Occasionally came to the Leap Studio, but I didn't see the scene of Gu Che's rehearsal.
Xie Lianchun didn't know that Gu Che's singing skills were even more mellow and sleek than what she heard a month ago!
It's unscientific, but it's not incomprehensible.
Cantonese opera is also very talented and inspired.
Some Cantonese opera actors originally sang very ordinary, but they suddenly became enlightened by a flash of inspiration, and they jumped from an ordinary actor to an important actor with unique personal characteristics and cannot be replaced.
In Xie Lianchun's eyes, this is the case for Gu Che.
A month ago, his singing segment just made people feel that he had a strong foundation and good skills.
But that's it.
Compared with his senior brother Kong Ping, senior sister He Huanying, and even his second senior brother Luo Mingli, he feels a little less, because the singing segments of these three people are all with their personal style characteristics, which are very distinct.
As soon as you hear them sing, you know who is singing.
A month ago, Gu Che had not reached the height of his senior brother and sister.
Looking at it now, Gu Che has made leaps and bounds and formed his own personal characteristics!
Xie Lianchun frowned, and couldn't help but express a deep doubt:
"Is it really helpful to sing Cantonese opera in the entertainment industry?"
Didn't I see that Gu Che was a guest on a variety show, and after coming back, the rehearsal of Cantonese opera was not delayed at all, and his achievements soared?
Xie Lianchun had heard before that there is a saying in the entertainment industry called "red gas to raise people", is it under the nourishment of red gas that Gu Che will advance by leaps and bounds?
At this moment, Xie Lianchun really moved the idea of letting a few young Cantonese opera actors under his command go to the entertainment industry to mingle.
She took a deep look at Gu Che on the stage, not to mention that she was as popular as Gu Che, as long as she had half of Gu Che's popularity, it would be very helpful for the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe to promote its own Cantonese opera.
On the stage, the White Snake and Xu Xian met again, and the White Snake avoided Xu Xian in panic, and was named by Xiaoqing: "Sister, keep the person first, and then I will pull the wire for you!" ”
Xiaoqing twisted her body vividly, her little expression was very cute, and the audience couldn't help but be amused by her, and named her "Xia Guo's good best friend".
As the dance and music gradually sounded, Xiaoqing exchanged for rain, and the White Lady and Xu Xian finally intersected on the broken bridge!
On Earth, "The Legend of the White Snake" has been adapted into many versions of film and television dramas.
But almost all versions, about the first time the two met, were coincidentally gathered at the broken bridge because of a rain, and no other factors intervened.
However, Gu Che's adaptation of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" attaches great importance to the display of "love", and has long set the tone for the love between White Snake and Xu Xian.
It was originally a lotus in front of the Buddha, and it should have been together, and the white snake came with the memory of rolling red dust, just to have a demonic love with Xu Xian in the world.
Look, isn't this affectionate feeling coming out?
wrote such an introduction in advance, which would not make the audience disappointed and very dissatisfied with Xu Xian's later choice, and at the same time, he also had an explanation for White Snake's love for Xu Xian so much.
"The Sword Comes"
Xiaoqing begged for rain, but on that amorous and hazy rainy day, Xu Xian slowly walked on the broken bridge with an umbrella, and met the white lady who was also walking on the broken bridge.
Both of them walked in a hurry, and when they collided with each other, they almost fell out.
At the critical moment, Xu Xian grabbed the hand of the white lady, and the two came to a clever dynamic rotation, and then looked at each other affectionately.
At this glance, it seems as if 10,000 years have passed.
The plot is cliché, the action is predetermined, but the audience's thoughts are pounding.
The plot is never afraid of clichés, but I am afraid that it will be too vulgar and will not attract the hearts of girls who watch the movie.
But at least in this scene, Gu Che's design won everyone's praise.
"It's knocked, it's knocked!"
"An aura that automatically turns pink hahaha"
"This is the so-called golden wind and jade dew, once they meet, they will win countless in the world!"
