I really don't want to fight with gods

Chapter 775

Like an enemy!

It feels like Jing Xiaoqiang is here to kick the field.

All the old, middle-aged and young people working at the San Carlo Theater came out!

Of course, it's also because Jing Xiaoqiang's name is too thunderous.

Last year, he won the signing of the Lincoln Center Metropolitan Opera House, which is already the hard currency that countless European singers dream of.

No matter how arrogant Europe is, it still knows that signing a contract in the metropolis of Xinxiang is the most sought after by the global market.

And from Citigroup to Jiaopan, they are also the richest people who can spend the most money this year!
In addition to saying sourly, how can the Chinese have a master of bel canto, and they are all upstarts messing around, and I can only envy them in my heart.

But then the Metropolitan Opera will release the aria concert album, and the NHK orchestra's famous selection album will be released next to each other. Some people still hear it from the CD. This incomparable Asian genius is undoubtedly a Neapolitan school...

Naples is the transliteration of Naples, and the music industry likes to use this word.

Indeed, in the ears of connoisseurs, one can distinguish the way from the pronunciation, resonance body cavity, and airflow characteristics.

It's like the San Carlo Theater is a living fossil.

The Napoli School is also known as the European Academy of Music.

You must know that the so-called "Italian Opera Overture" was first fixed here.

An easy-to-understand piece of music directly opened the curtain of the opera.

The recitative has also been greatly developed here, and the accompaniment instruments have also undergone changes. The continuo bass has gradually weakened, and the aria has gradually been dominated by the return aria.

In the orchestra part, the number of woodwind and brass instruments gradually increased, and the violin became more and more important. They often played gorgeous music in unison, and the entire accompanying orchestra gradually formed the later opera style.

Many normative traditions of opera have been formed in this place.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the status of Shaolin Wudang. The other one is of course Hans' Bach.

And Jing Xiaoqiang's Italian must have Hudelssohn's Neapolitan accent.

It's like Chinese is national, but the dialect of a province is actually divided into countless accents. Only the local natives can clearly distinguish the people from which mountains and dams.

No matter how idiomatic a foreigner learns, it is often a refined and comprehensive accent.

Unlike Jing Xiaoqiang talking on the street just now, all the locals looked like they had seen a ghost.

Maybe the opera houses all over Italy have heard Robert's CD, but the San Carlo Opera House is definitely the most listened to.

Because no matter where they go this year, they will be asked by their peers who is the student who taught Robert.

It's annoying to be mentioned all the time.

And these days Nike's advertisements are piled up all day long!
The colleagues are even more joking, that Robert of yours went to shoot a lingerie advertisement, is that how you Napoli school?
In short, after being rejected by Hans, he called directly to complain, who of you taught the disciples, so disrespecting the tradition, so ignorant of the rules? !
So the Puzzling San Carlo Theater is very wary of Jing Xiaoqiang's visit, what are you going to do?
Jing Xiaoqiang is a good actor. He didn't think about his Neapolitan accent, and he used a very standard dialect: "We are visiting from Shanghai, China, and I really want to meet Mr. Purcinis. If we can invite you to have a meal together Best."

The expression has to be controlled so that it feels like he is greeting.

Sure enough, all eyes were on a middle-aged man who looked thinner, and he felt like a traitor who leaked the secrets of the gang!
The middle-aged man in a casual shirt with glasses hanging on his chest is completely innocent: "Me? Where did you know me, and what does it have to do with me?"

Jing Xiaoqiang began to talk nonsense: "Our playwright, since he read "The Travels of Marco Polo", he has been very fond of Yidali, and hopes to create a play about Marco Polo. You once wrote a paper on Marco Polo..."

While talking, he signaled to Mu Chunlei with a happy smile that you can give gifts, this is my teacher.

Poor Mu Chunlei, who is well-educated, is restricted by the times. He is proficient in English reading, and his writing can only be regarded as excellent, which is much worse than Chinese writing. He can listen without any problems, but his pronunciation is even more tragic than that of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who speak Mandarin.

Italian is definitely not understandable at all, especially the Napoli dialect accent is a bit guttural.

But Jing Xiaoqiang never expected that Mu Chunlei, in addition to accepting the Suzhou embroidery gift solemnly presented by Li Ji, also insisted on thanking him in rather rough English: "Robert is a very good boy, thank you very much for learning from you." Best singing skills..."

Jiaopen people are famous for their funny accent when they speak English. Hey, Lao Mu's English pronunciation shocked both Sakai and Li Ji.

At any rate, the little art soldiers communicated with foreigners from the beginning, and they also had tape recorders, unlike the older generation who mostly gnawed at the phonetic symbols and lost their files.

Jing Xiaoqiang panicked, because the Italians in the audience were also confused, which language do you speak? !
But there are always some words that can be distinguished: "What to learn, what to learn?"

Jing Xiaoqiang had no choice but to be wise: "Tense, the tense is wrong, he means to send me to you to learn and communicate, he is my teacher in drama..."

Mu Chunlei was really emotional: "He is only 20 years old, but he has the mentality of 50 to [-] years old..."

It may be the mentality of an essayist. If the Chinese is too deep, the order of the words will be reversed, just like reciting poetry.

Puccinis and others were puzzled: "What the hell is he talking about?!"

The whole living room was in chaos, and Jing Xiaoqiang had no choice but to keep the Chinese accent from becoming a stalker like the Jiaopan people: "This scene can only remind me of "Secret Marriage", which is also the reason I listened to Puccinis. Mister's singing album, can you share with everyone the arias you have learned?"

Well, you might as well just say this as soon as you come.

"Secret Marriage" is equivalent to the Nianhuazhi in Shaolin Temple. It is the most famous and proudest among the 72 stunts, because it is the culmination of the master's creation of Neapolitan comedy. It was written and arranged for the premiere at the San Carlo Theater. Classic repertoire of the late eighth century.

It is still the repertoire of the San Carlo Theater, and it is the proud work of Puccinis when he was the protagonist. Of course, Hudelssohn learned more deeply from his teacher.

The whole scene broke up immediately, and I went to call the orchestra to prepare, the actors to prepare, and the theater manager to listen to everything.

No one cared what the serious old Chinese man said.

Jing Xiaoqiang hurriedly handed the Suzhou embroidery to Puccinis, and winked at Li Ji.

Sakai didn't react so fast, Li Ji immediately went to help Mu Chunlei, you better stop reciting poems, foreign devils can't understand.

Mu Chunlei still wanted to express his passion, but he walked through the baroque-style living room together, and walked into the theater through the side door passage. The three bumpkins, oh, including Jing Xiaoqiang, felt that they were bumpkins.

Even if he has seen the Metropolitan Opera House of later generations, Sakai comes from the Jiaopen, the most upstart. This theater is an ancient building 250 years ago.

The kind of luxury and extravagance, the golden gilt that can be seen everywhere, the dark red gold velvet curtains, and the exquisite murals on the dome all show that when Qianlong ascended the throne, his side was already magnificent. to what extent.

And when did our theater get so luxurious.

The horseshoe-shaped box is five stories high!
Surrounding the seats in the middle, there are 28 boxes on each floor, and facing the middle of each floor is the royal box, which is wide and large, and is now used as a media seat for reporters and drama critics.

No wonder the foreigners played in Once Upon a Time in Huang Feihong felt extremely backward when they came to China.

Since then, we've widened the gap from all angles, and now we're paying that debt.

Jing Xiaoqiang arranged a seat for the dean of his family: "I will sing a song for them, and it will be a report performance. After singing, we will go to dinner. I am a correspondence student, so I don't pay much attention to it."

Li Ji didn't close his small mouth when he came in, and looked around with a dazed face, dizzy.

Words such as the so-called temple are used here.

Sakai is better, but just as she held up her Polaroid, she was rudely reminded that it is not allowed to take pictures casually on such occasions. Do you understand the etiquette? The flash will affect the ancient buildings.

Jing Xiaoqiang has already stepped onto the stage. Although this is the first time for his body, his soul is very familiar with this place. The habit of countless times of precise positioning made him stand on the earl's throne and began to sing the famous "I'm a Scumbag" aria excerpt.

In terms of mood, Jing Xiaoqiang wanted to play tricks, he just sang a song and interrupted Lao Mu's exclamation speech.

But when he sings, whether he wants to go out in a fair and respectful manner, or Hudelson's soul is already excited and wants to express.

"I'm a frivolous, lecherous, and alcoholic scumbag, don't fall in love with me..."

Except for singing in the Metropolitan Opera House, Jing Xiaoqiang himself has never been in this kind of high-end opera house, especially the opera house 200 years ago did not have electronic equipment, and tried every means to expand the reflection through architectural acoustics, so Europeans make high-end audio With background, they have indeed studied here for too many years.

Now when the brilliant and ironic singing reverberates throughout the theater, the actors who were rehearsing for the evening performance, the reporters behind the media seats, and a group of tourist groups mainly passing by along the tourist passage, the tour guide also Holding a small flag.

All of them were dumbfounded with the actors, managers and others two or three rows in front of the infield!
To be able to sing the earl's arias, it is often an old actor in his 30s who has accumulated a lot of experience.

Apart from the fact that there are a few skills like parallel sentences that are very difficult to sing, the main reason is that this kind of attitude that scumbags take for granted is difficult for young children to show.

Jing Xiaoqiang laughed while singing. It turned out that 250 years ago, the theory that rich and powerful men could occupy an absolutely strong position in the marriage and love market has not changed after so long.

What's wrong with this society, haven't women stood up yet?

As a result, a female figure immediately stood up from the audience and sang "I will forgive the Earl for his frivolity"...

That's right, as long as you have money and talent, you can do whatever you want.

Jing Xiaoqiang has saved up all of it now.
