Chapter 29: The Heart of a Child Has Never Changed!
"Next question!"
"Mr. Liu, you must have suffered a lot to become a famous opera artist, can you introduce us to it?"
Liu Xikui smiled and nodded.
"In our pear orchard industry, learning drama is also called playing, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you can't become a talent, I was beaten by my master when I was a child."
"Although there are often scars on my body, Master still loves me very much, and he will teach me the way of performing opera without reservation, and care for my life."
"Of course, now it's a new society, and this way is more crude and not very suitable."
"However, if you want to learn drama, you have to endure hardships, practice three dogs in summer, count nine in winter, hang your voice, press your body, and memorize drama texts...... You have to learn all of these things seriously. ”
"As the saying goes, one minute on stage, ten years of work off the stage!"
……
"Teacher Liu is right, in fact, everything is like this, if you don't study hard and practice hard, how can you succeed?"
"From an opera student to a famous opera artist, Boss Liu doesn't know how much he has to suffer during this period!"
"Yes, there are so many opera actors, and there are only a few who can become famous, this road is really difficult!"
……
"Good! The last question, I'll ask it after I think about it! ”
"Mr. Liu, we have rehearsed a new play from Bangzi, Hebei Province, called "Northern Beauty", which tells your story! Can we perform a short segment for you? ”
"My story? Oooh...... Of course. ”
Liu Xikui was a little surprised, she couldn't imagine that her story would also be made into an opera.
Seeing Liu Xikui agree, those opera actors got out of the way, and an actress wearing costumes from the Republic of China period walked out and bowed deeply.
"The next thing I sang was a fold in Hebei Bangzi's "Northern Beauty", called "Ode to Youling"!"
With that, the opera drums sounded, and the actress began to sing.
"Heaven and earth have righteousness, Lingxiu is clear and clear, in the mountains and forests for the nectar, in the grass for the wind, infiltrating the art garden for the talent, the whole world knows how many strange and famous people. The ancestor Tang Ming Emperor is spiritual, praised by a generation of grandmasters, and the great musician Li Guinian is famous......"
After singing the fold, Liu Xikui burst into tears and kept nodding his head.
"Sing well, sing well! I am very pleased that later generations of operas can have this kind of performance! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Liu!!"
……
"The young lady sings really well, if Teacher Liu Xikui can really hear it, she should be very happy!"
"It's a pity it's just a show."
"Still, it's a good way to do it!"
"If I have the chance, I want to sing a song for those revolutionary martyrs!"
……
Su Qingyue hid her figure and waved her hand again, and the scene immediately changed to a field wounded hospital built by tents.
"This is the rear battlefield of the anti-flower aid high, and these volunteer soldiers are enduring the torture of their injuries at this time. Teacher Liu Xikui was over 60 years old at this time, but he still insisted on coming to the battlefield to comfort the soldiers. ”
"Comrades! You are working the battlefield for the country, and my wife is not to be outdone, I can't do anything else, but it's okay to sing a few plays for you! ”
After that, Liu Xikui began to sing the melodious opera, and the wounded soldiers listened to these operas, with smiles on their faces, and even the pain seemed to have been reduced a lot.
……
"Teacher Liu Xikui is awesome! The soldiers of the Volunteer Army must be very happy to hear the opera in a foreign country. ”
"In his sixties, he went to the battlefield, and Mr. Liu Xikui was just like the young man who preached patriotism and salvation back then."
"Teacher Liu Xikui's pure heart has never changed!"
……
Su Qingyue waved her hand again, and the picture flowed, and she came directly to the Huaxia Revolutionary Cemetery and stood in front of Liu Xikui's tombstone.
"After the death of teacher Liu Xikui, she was buried in the Chinese Revolutionary Cemetery, her life is magnificent, full of legends, but the same will always be that patriotic heart!"
"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides ......"
A familiar piece of music sounded, and the audience in front of the screen sang along to the song.
……
"It's on fire!"
"This song is so familiar, I've been singing it since I was a child!"
"I love my homeland! I love my hometown! I love Chinese opera! ”
……
Cemetery of the Chinese Revolution.
Countless young people came here spontaneously, holding flowers in their hands, and personally placed them on Liu Xikui's tombstone.
"I'm sorry, I don't know enough about your deeds, but now I have a little understanding when I see the program "Dialogue between the Past and the Present"!"
"Teacher Liu Xikui, you are a strong person, no hardship can defeat you, you are a hero!"
"Mr. Liu Xikui, thank you for your contribution to Chinese opera! You can rest assured that Chinese opera will not disappear! ”
……
Huaxia Academy of Opera.
A group of opera students silently walked into the rehearsal classroom, practicing opera singing and posture.
Sweat was constantly oozing from their foreheads, but not once did they cry out tired.
Yes, compared with Mr. Liu Xikui, what is this little bit of bitterness and tiredness?
As long as we can inherit our Chinese civilization and carry forward the Chinese opera culture, all this training is worth it!
……
Inside an elementary school.
Countless elementary school students are singing along with the songs in the show with their immature voices, their eyes are firm, and the red scarves on their chests are very bright.
……
Su Qingyue snapped her fingers, the picture returned to the studio, the opera drums sounded again, and those faces and costumes all turned into particles and danced, and finally turned into a huge golden record floating in the air, with "Chinese opera" written on it.
"Dialogue with women heroes and promote traditional culture! I'm the host Su Qingyue! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen! The fifth episode of "Dialogue between Ancient and Modern" is all over here, and we will see you next time! ”
As the drums of the opera continue to beat, the curtains on both sides slowly move towards the middle, like the curtain call of the opera.
……
"I'm so impressed! This episode of the program allowed me to get to know a famous Chinese opera artist, and Chinese opera is really amazing! ”
"Who says it's not, Chinese opera must be able to regain its vitality, I believe!"
"I want to do some cultural and creative projects related to Chinese opera to get more young people involved!"
"I'm going to go to the pear orchard more times in the future! Chinese opera is really good! ”
……
A foreign video platform.
"Oh my God, is this the Peking Opera of China?"
"No, this is Hebei Bangzi! There are many types of Chinese opera, not just Peking Opera. ”
"Oh, that's good! I love Chinese opera! ”
"No, no, no, this is not a Chinese opera, this is obviously an opera of our Goryeo Kingdom!"
"Come and see, everyone! Goryeo is stealing again! ”
……
A digital music company.
"Boss, the background shows that there are a large number of users listening to the opera! Clicks and comments are skyrocketing all the time! ”
"Okay, okay, you should hurry up and contact the Huaxia Opera Research Institute now and get their opera music license! Not bad for money! Got it? ”
"Understood!"
……
A certain opera troupe.
"Captain! There are so many theaters that have sent us invitations to come and perform? ”
"What's going on?"
"I heard that the audience watched the show "Dialogue between Ancient and Modern", and they bought tickets and wanted to come to the scene to listen to the play!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and notify everyone, perform on stage!"
