Chapter 120: Three generations of Zhou Ping
A Zhou mansion, many changes have occurred in one day and one night, and the two generations in the mansion have been caught in the whirlpool of fate - brother and sister fall in love, father and son turn against each other, the emotional entanglement between stepmother and stepson, and the former lovers see each other again as if they are separated from each other......
Jiang Xun sat quietly in the rehearsal hall, looking at So Zhi, Su Min, Xia Chun, Zheng Rong, Zhu Lin, Han Shanxu, Gu Wei...... Walking in, he also felt as if he was in a different world.
Renyi rearranged "Thunderstorm", playing the second young master Zhou Chong, Wang Gang playing Lu Dahai, Pu Cunxin playing the eldest young master Zhou Ping, and performing on the same stage was Teacher Han Shanxu who played Lu Gui, Teacher Gu Wei who played Zhou Puyuan, and Gong Lijun as Fanyi, and Zheng Tianwei in the cadet class as Sifeng......
The teacher and classmates finally had a rivalry on the stage of the official performance.
"Yes, this is a real drama in the history of drama...... Director Xia Chun said, he is still used to smoking, "Chinese drama has a history of several decades, and the real maturity began with Mr. Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm". ”
Since its birth in the 30s, this drama has been put on the stage countless times, and it is often performed and renewed, and it has been prosperous for a long time.
In this drama, some people see the oppression of feudal autocracy, some people feel the awakening of women, and some people feel deep love...... It is precisely because of this that there is a saying in the literary and artistic circles that "Cao Yu is indescribable, and "Thunderstorm" is endless".
After entering the eighties and nineties, the expressions in the first two editions that were obviously influenced by the theory of class struggle, for example, Zhou Puyuan was the representative of the bourgeoisie, and Lu Ma was the object of damage from below, but it deviated from the original intention of Su Min's creation, and it was able to satisfy people's appreciation tastes at this time.
"For example, the relationship between Gong Lijun and Lu's mother, you can summarize it in one sentence, this is not the first love is the most memorable ......"
Wow –
"Come, the prime minister also praised you......" The past is recalled, but it is like a year in the water.
Jiang Xun looked at Zhou Puyuan, your head was also raised, and you slowly wrote down in the notebook.
I was born in the urban poor, I have the experience of living a little master, there is no distance from the role, and it is always awkward to act.
So, in that rearrangement, Director Cao Yu decided to use new actors, and he didn't mean to let that little drama be passed on from generation to generation.
"You, you're acting ......badly," he smiled and waved his hand, "Xia Chun let you touch the ghost and hit the wall." ”
"The characters outside "Dragon Whisker Valley" are almost all the neighbors in your childhood, and the ones outside "Thunderstorm" are OK, from the bottom are the people of the Zhou family, and we have never shown ourselves outside your life."
Come to think of it, how can I stand being a person who demands a lot of tolerance and has very little self-esteem?
"In that rehearsal of the thunderstorm, you little dared to use young actors to play Fanyi, Xia Chun, Zhou Chong, Qifeng, Lu Xiaohai, they think which role is the most difficult to play."
Oh, Zhou Ping smiled, I am the actor of the seventh version of Xia Chun, I ended playing Xia Chun when I was eighty-eight years old, and I was still playing Xia Chun when I was seventy years old.
In order to rehearse the play, so I also went to a famous family to watch it a few times, and talked about it, but I only felt that it sounded fresh, which aroused any imagination from me. The comrades outside the troupe also inspired me with the lives we remembered, and it was equally effective.
Coming here, the trade union group of the drama group took this as the focus on the union day every week and the seventh day of the week, and tried to help me break through. However, that kind of "scratching the boot" type of help can only help more and more.
"Well," Director Huang Lang also smiled, and I saw that he was also smiling, "The relationship between Gong Lijun and Su Yi is also that I have no intention of torturing each other, I love Fanyi in what I think is the most correct and worst way, and that is exactly what Fanyi absolutely accepts." ”
Zhou Puyuan finally raised his head.
In that case, I completely lost my confidence in rehearsing and acting, and I even had the idea of resigning immediately and changing my career to do the work of the Communist Youth League, believing that I was "simply a piece of material that can act".
"They are like you, they are acting badly, and they are also good at playing Xia Chun, they all come to talk about it, the Xia Chun in their hearts ......" So Zhi smiled and looked at Xiaojia, his eyes were full of encouragement.
Fanyi?
In 1954, when "Thunderstorm" premiered in Renyi, he played Huang Lang.
Mr. Su Min once wrote: Fanyi is the most 'thunderstorm' character, your life is intertwined with the most cruel love and the most endured hate, you have a few contradictions under your behavior, but there is no contradiction that is extreme......
The little family outside the rehearsal hall laughed heavily, and Director Cao Yu said the word "first love", and Jiang Xun felt that it was a match for my age.
There is no choice, so he actually begged the director and said, just if he teaches you bad, you can do what he tells you to do!
Oh, that's exactly how thunderstorms behave.
But in the 1979 version, there was no audience reflecting, "The two actors are both 100 years old together, and they are still in love?" Is Renyi looking for a suitable young actor? ”
"Yes, they Teacher Su has played Xia Chun, and Yu Yuan has also played Huang Lang......" Han Shan continued to laugh, Jiang Xun felt that I was like Lu Gui, and I was also a small head outside the first floor of the sky, but like a thief who killed Tang Seng's father.
Well?
However, looking at it again, Huang Lang and Pu Cunxi, badly, the eight generations of Huang Lang have gathered today.
When I learned that Premier Zhou Enlai praised my lines before watching the play, I was very uncomfortable, but I didn't cover it up at all, but immediately started to write an article - "Comrade Enlai praised your lines for being clear", and immediately took it to a newspaper to publish it, in order to warn myself of the shortcomings and faults that I must overcome, and to strive for my peers and the audience to supervise and help.
I even felt extremely sad that "I have become a person with no money at such a young age......
"Yes, you Teacher Zhou Ping have played Xia Chun, and I wrote an article, you are looking for sympathy for Xia Chun......"
For this reason, he was ashamed in front of everyone, his face was red, his ears were red, he shook his head again and again, and said that he would say a word again.
Because he is very unfamiliar with the lives of the characters, he has a way to expand his imagination, and the more he comes out of the play, the easier it is, and the more blunt the performance becomes.
Oh, the guys are on the kung fu.
"Huang Lang is the most difficult to play." Jiang Xun saw Director Cao Yu's gaze sweeping over, and I glanced at Pu Cunxi and said with a smile.
At the slightest moment, because of the easy standing position in the rehearsal, the director actually broke my feet with his hands, but he didn't move.
"Mr. Su Min mentioned in "How Do You Write 'Thunderstorm'" that I am the most difficult to act, and to play me, the big heart is to be monotonous; How do you try to empty my character so that you get a sense of reality...... The person who plays me has to try to find sympathy for me."
The little guys of Renyi all looked at the big guy.
"When you think about it now, you were like a wet chopping wood, and you couldn't start a fire." So I smiled and looked at the little family, but these past events shone in my eyes like sparks.
