Chapter 45: The Locker
Yang Fenglou said confidently: "Actually, I have prepared a new drama for our Liu family class, ...... new play."
"Oh?"
Liu Puhe was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yang Fenglou deeply, and said with a smile:
"I want to hear ...... detail"
The words were very contemptuous, and it looked like I didn't believe it at all.
"The name of this new play is called "Suolin Bag"......"
Yang Fenglou smiled secretly in his heart, and according to the order of the normal script, he first introduced the main characters in the play, as well as their trades and lines.
These alone have already made Liu Puhe's mouth grow in surprise.
When Yang Fenglou told the plot of the whole book "Suolin Bag", he even made the Liu family's class stupid!
Peking Opera was praised as the quintessence of the country by later generations, and its breadth and profundity are absolutely breathtaking.
Especially as a representative play of Cheng Pai Tsing Yi, "Suolin Bag" is even more so.
"Suolin Bag" is about the fact that there is a rich daughter who marries, and her mother gives her a Suolin bag before she gets married. On the day of the wedding, it coincided with the heavy rain, sheltered from the rain in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and happened to meet the poor woman who also sheltered from the rain.
Six years later, the daughter of a wealthy family went home to save her family, the road was flooded, separated from her family, and in desperation, she only got a rich local family, acting as an old mother, when she was playing with the little son of a rich family, she strayed into the garden building, and just saw the lock of six years ago, and couldn't help but let out a sad voice.
It turned out that after the poor lady got married, she used the wealth and goods in the lock Lin bag to do business, and finally the rich party was grateful to the person who gave the bag that day, and enshrined the lock Lin bag at home.
After the truth was revealed, a poor and a rich woman met each other, with mixed feelings, and the family of the rich family came to find them, and finally regained the old fashion clothes, and they were all happy.
The play "Suolin Bag" is a personal play tailored by the famous playwright Weng Duohong in later generations for Mr. Cheng Yanqiu, who is one of the four famous Dans, and is one of the representative plays of Cheng School Tsing Yi.
When this play was just staged, it became famous in Beijing, and then became popular all over the country, and then it was inherited by many disciples of the Cheng School, which can be said to have been sung for many years in later generations, and it has its own charm.
Yang Fenglou spoke up, regardless of the suspicion of panic, and also sang the most classic singing segment of "Suolin Bag? Spring and Autumn Pavilion":
“......
Listening to Xue Liang's words, he was full of arrogance and suddenly disappeared.
Human warmth is made out of thin air, who can move it by half a cent.
I am rich, she is little, she is hungry and cold, I am delicate.
Divide me with a coral treasure and settle her half a phoenix nest.
Hurriedly called Mei Xiang in a low voice, and didn't tell her name. ”
Especially the rejection of the word "call" in "Busy calling Mei Xiang in a low voice", singing it is called a heart-wrenching, although it cannot be compared with the Cheng Pai Tsing Yi of later generations, but it is enough to hook the soul!
After Yang Fenglou finished singing, there was silence in the background.
Nie Yijin is even more beautiful, completely attracted by the plot of "Suolin Bag".
The children of the rivers and lakes value the word love and righteousness the most, although the daughter of the rich family is not the children of the rivers and lakes, but after seeing the poor woman, she feels pity, righteousness and wealth, quite chivalrous spirit of the rivers and lakes, at the end of the story, and ends with a great consummation, this kind of story of good retribution is the most for her appetite.
Moreover, the drama "Suolin Bag" is centered on a rich daughter named Xue Lingxiang, and in the Liu family's class, it is simply tailored for her!
Thinking that he would have the opportunity to sing "Busy Mei Xiang in a low voice" in the future, Nie Yijin couldn't wait to be on stage now.
The old class leader Liu Puhe thought more than his daughter.
This old man who has inherited the art of whipping and sweeping lanterns, although his reputation in Chang'an City is not obvious, but he has enough vision and knowledge, when he listened to Yang Fenglou's "Suolin Bag", he immediately realized that this is definitely a masterpiece, if you can let Liu Jiaban come to perform, it will definitely move the world!
However, after the heat in his heart cooled down slightly, Liu Puhe shook his head helplessly, he found that this play, the small Liu family class, could not be acted at all!
First of all, there is a shortage of personnel, not to mention anything else, just in the compromise of "Spring and Autumn Pavilion", there are rich daughter Xue Lingxiang, poor woman Zhao Shouzhen, maid Meixiang, Xue Liang in the courtyard, Zhao's father Zhao Luhan, an old man and a young lady, as well as many tricks of carrying a sedan chair to send relatives, this fold play, at least more than ten people can be played, and Liu Jiaban counts Niu Si, there are only five people in total.
Secondly, the industry is insufficient, listen to Yang Fenglou's meaning, in this play, there are trades that need to be worked, there are Tsing Yi, there are Lao Dan, there are old students, there are clowns, and there must be dolls, these trades, Liu Puhe has never heard of them, Liu Jiaban has always performed military dramas, and the serious professions are only two canghu and joining the army, which cannot be divided so finely at all.
Again, the props used in the performance are insufficient, what sedan chairs, what gongs, what small buildings, and most importantly, there are no chain bags, if you perform this play, you can't take a rag bag to deal with it, right? Liu Jiaban's family background is not thick, and these things are not needed to perform military dramas, if they are reorganized, it is not something that the little Liu family class can support.
The most important thing is that the vocal cavity singing method is completely different, listening to Yang Fenglou's singing, the accent is somewhat like Huainan Road, and some like Henan Road, and the tone is some like Jiangnan Road, but the plot in the play takes place in Dengzhou, and it has become Shandong Road, which is really difficult for Liu Jiaban and others to grasp.
Liu Puhe felt a lot of difficulties in an instant, so he said to Yang Fenglou in embarrassment.
Yang Fenglou smiled.
Class Master Liu really has a broad vision, but what he thinks of is still too far away.
He would never have imagined how exquisite the stage costumes of Peking Opera in later generations were, how strict the civil and military scenes were, how rigorous the stage performances were, and how many rules there were for backstage management!
However, Yang Fenglou wasn't going to tell him this, just smiled slightly.
"Uncle Liu, just rest assured, as long as our Liu family class wants to perform this "Suolin Bag", everything is wrapped up in me!"
After speaking, Yang Fenglou suddenly blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "However, since you want to prepare for this play, I'm afraid you ...... Liu Jiaban is nearly, but he can't leave......"
Liu Puhe was stunned.
Nie Yijin next to him had already run to his side, holding his arm and shaking violently, and the cry of "Dad" was even more resonant than Cheng Pai Tsing Yi's singing.
Liu Puhe looked at Yang Fenglou, patted Nie Yijin's little hand helplessly, and said to Yang Fenglou: "So...... I'm going to trouble the young man of Fenglou......"
Yang Fenglou hehe, hey Yile, from Yang Shaoxia to Fenglou Shaoxia, there has been a lot of progress.
When he raised his eyes, he just saw Nie Yijin's glance, and his heart shook even more.
At this time, Niu Si came up and smiled shyly.
"Big brother, I didn't expect you to be able to write a new play...... Look, do you arrange a role for me in the play?"
Yang Fenglou looked at Nie Yijin's smile like a flower, and was fascinated by it, but was disturbed by Niu Siyi, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said angrily:
"Okay, there are two children in total, which one do you want to play?"
Niu Si suddenly had a bitter face.
"If I play Xue Lingxiang's son, won't I be the son of you and Miss Nie......?
