Rebirth: Uranus Superstar

Chapter 385 A Song for Grandpa

Shonan Satellite TV, "Singing Caravan" crew.

The host Li Rui glanced at the guests of the latest episode, and immediately frowned, "Pei Xueman? Director Zhou, the guests invited by our program group seem to be getting more and more crotchless, not to mention Li Qing, Superstars like Li Ang are invited, but we have to invite some first-line stars to join, right? Otherwise, how will the ratings of our show increase?"

"Li Rui, it's not like you don't know what's going on with the program group? Originally, the station doesn't provide much funding. It's okay to invite first-line singers, but you can't invite them often. It's too expensive."

Director Zhou Jinpeng said with a wry smile: "Besides, Pei Xueman is already considered a relatively good singer among the applicants who submitted the application letter. Their company just recently spent several million to buy Han Sen's song. Let's "Sing for Joy" The ratings of the next episode of "Caravan" will depend on Pei Xueman's new song."

"Han Sen?"

Li Rui's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "The champion of "The King of Masked Singer", Han Sen?"

"Correct."

Zhou Jinpeng nodded and said: "I don't know if you don't surf the Internet often. Recently, there are quite a lot of hot searches on Pei Xueman. After all, it is the first time to cooperate with Han Sen, and I heard that it is a song tailored by Han Sen for her." For the song, the public's expectations have already been raised very high, if you invite Pei Xueman, the ratings will not be too low."

Li Rui agreed as soon as he heard it, and immediately began to join the discussion with the director team. After confirming the itinerary, he immediately flew to his destination, Huizhou.

Anhui Opera is the predecessor of Peking Opera. There are still many large theaters here, and elderly middle-aged and elderly people often flock to the theaters to listen to the opera.

Peking opera is mainly based on scene layout, focusing on freehand brushwork, with Xipi and Erhuang as the main accents, accompanied by huqin, gongs and drums, etc., and is regarded as the quintessence of China.

The reason why the latest issue of "Singing Caravan" is set in Huizhou is to match the background of Pei Xueman's new song.

Under the investigation of Zhou Jinpeng, Li Rui and other staff members of the director team, they keenly discovered the hidden story behind Pei Xueman's new song. After learning that Han Sen specially composed this song for Pei Jiaban, they immediately Immediately decided the latest recording schedule.

The so-called lifelong infatuation, no dream to Huizhou.

When the crew of "Singing Caravan" came to Huizhou and stood on the streets of Huizhou Old Street, looking at the long Qing records in the alleys and the memorial archways that symbolized honor, all the staff could not help but take out their mobile phones , camera, and began to record the beautiful scenery in front of me.

Pei Xueman is no exception. After meeting with "Singing Caravan", she did not start recording immediately, but felt the customs of the whole Huizhou.

The street in front of you is called Fish Street. As the name suggests, it got its name because it looks like a fish.

Here is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the entire street is paved with pebbles in an orderly manner, just like fish scales.

Pei Xueman was wearing flat shoes, a sun hat, and sunglasses, and stepped on the pebbles under her feet, feeling extremely at ease in her heart.

The ancestral home of the Pei family is from Huizhou. Although Pei Xueman grew up in the capital, she would return to Huizhou to celebrate the New Year. The scenes in front of her are so familiar, such as the old houses on both sides of the street, row upon row, two The gate is either open or closed.

The houses with the open doors are the former business houses, shops, and warehouses.

The thick roof beams and old railings are full of mottled years. In the contemporary era, it has developed in line with the times and transformed into a homestay, receiving tourists from all over the country.

"That caravan looks like a singing caravan?"

At this time, some tourists saw the caravan that often appeared on TV at a glance.

Many people are very familiar with this caravan. The host Li Rui will often drive this car and bring the guests of the show to the streets and alleys all over the country for performances. At the same time, he will invite passers-by and audience to sing on stage.

This caravan was transformed from a caravan, and when it opened, it became a huge stage. Whether it was the audio facilities or the stage design facilities, it was the ultimate that a caravan could carry.

Therefore, when someone found this caravan, they spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon, the entire Fish Street was full of tourists, and even some local residents and businesses ran over excitedly and looked forward to it.

Although the ratings of "Singing Caravan" are not top on Shonan Satellite TV, it is also one of the best programs in the whole country, and from time to time, first-line singers will be invited to the stage. Of course, the normal invites on TV are some second- and third-tier singers. This leads to high and low ratings of the show.

Even so, "Singing Caravan" is also an opportunity that many artists dream of.

At this time, the evening is approaching, and the sunset glow in the sky is falling on the whole Huizhou, blooming with amazing brilliance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the "Singing Caravan" program team immediately began to open the caravan, revealing the stage, and started shooting the latest episode.

Soon, amidst the director's yell, cameras and recording equipment were turned on one after another.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause from hundreds of passers-by and audience, the host Li Rui stepped onto the stage, took advantage of the breeze of the setting sun, raised the microphone, and said with a loud laugh: "Friends from the audience in Huizhou, good afternoon, I am your favorite Host, Li Rui!"

Amidst the applause, Li Rui continued to say enthusiastically: "Today, the program team of "Singing Caravan" came to Yujie, a thousand-year-old town. This is one of the birthplaces of Peking Opera, and the long history is left behind for Yujie. The rich cultural heritage including Hui style architecture!"

"Here, we will appreciate the elegance of the old streets of Huizhou. At the same time, we have also invited a well-known singer to be the guest singer of this program!"

"Now, with the warmest applause, let's invite the singer, Pei! Xue! Man! And bring her latest single, "Red Ling"! Please!!"

Amidst thunderous applause, Pei Xueman appeared on the stage.

Beside her was an old man with white beard and hair. The old man had a white face painted on his face, but he was wearing a Tsing Yi, waving his sleeves, and his gestures were chic and awe-inspiring.

His name is Pei Yongchun, and he is Pei Xueman's uncle. Like his father, Pei Yongzhen, he is a well-known opera performer in the Beijing opera circle.

After receiving a call from Pei Xueman, he heard that it was an opera performance. He wanted to find a dramatist to play the male lead of the MV and take over a series of subsequent performance tasks. The uncle didn't say anything, just carried the suitcase, and went to From the place of residence in the south of the Yangtze River, he flew to the capital overnight.

The elder uncle in his 50s has a rosy face, but his beard and hair are already white. He wears a Tai Chi shirt and black cloth shoes. He walks like a soldier with a straight back.

Although he is a well-known Peking Opera artist in the industry, his uncle's job is as a Tai Chi martial artist.

He founded a Tai Chi martial arts gym. In addition to training Tai Chi children, he also specially taught some older uncles and aunts to practice Tai Chi to keep fit.

Occasionally, I will think of my identity as a Beijing opera artist.

When I wake up in the morning, I will also be interested for a while, and I will sing a few songs in the park under the surprised eyes of others.

It takes hours to sing.

But unfortunately, no one cares.

Theatre has been in decline for many years. Unless you are a master, ordinary opera performers will lose money every time they perform a performance.

Therefore, there has long been no place for drama in all parts of the country.

All dramatists treat theater as a hobby, not as a profession for a living.

However, hearing that his eldest niece wanted to revive the drama, Pei Yongchun flew over from Jiangnan without saying a word.

As soon as they met, they actively asked about the cause and effect.

After reading the lyrics and music of "Chi Ling".

Pei Yongchun was silent for a while, and then he sighed in public:
"Actors were once classified as low-ranking. This is a tragedy caused by history."

"However, since the day when the new Chinese dynasty was established, they are no longer 'players' exploited by the feudal system, but like the general public, they are the masters of the country and part of the people."

"A play is like life, and life is like a play."

"Huaxia opera has a long history. It has been more than 200 years since the Hui troupe came to Beijing. During this period, talents and heroes abound."

"And Pei Yanzhi, the ancestor of my Pei family class, is one of the best..."

Pei Yongchun showed excitement: "Han Sen was able to write the story of my ancestors into a song. It is a great favor. He has a heart! This alone is of infinite value! Not to mention, such words, such a song--Worthless Yu Pei Yanzhi's three words!"

"Besides, he also fulfilled your grandfather's wish. At that time, seeing the decline of opera, your grandfather once proposed an idea to combine drama with modern music, actively integrate it into modern music, and once again bring the charm of opera to life. Carry it forward, but unfortunately, it was too difficult and eventually ran aground. Now it seems that this heavy burden has been placed on your shoulders, Xueman..."

At that time, Pei Xueman also felt empathy when she heard her uncle's excited words.

In a trance, she even thought of her childhood.

That day, grandpa took him to the stage in front of the village.

A group of Peking Opera performers are singing.

A group of people in the audience applauded.

At that time, the girl didn't know what a yellow face and a white face were. She only thought that the singer's appearance was extremely scary, but at the same time found it interesting.

Then it rained, and everyone in the village went back, and some hid under the eaves and continued to watch, but they couldn't help the heavy rain and left one after another.

But the two people who can sing have been singing.

I was with my grandfather at the time, and when I saw this scene, I couldn't help asking curiously:
"It's raining, why don't they go back?"

Grandpa said with a smile: "The old ancestors have rules. The singer must finish singing when he opens his voice, no matter whether there are people watching or not."

The girl Nahan asked, "Why?"

Grandpa was silent for a while, then sighed leisurely: "Because ordinary people don't listen, it doesn't mean that old people don't listen."

now.

Grandpa is long gone.

Standing on the stage in Huizhou, Pei Xueman looked at the eager eyes of the passers-by and the audience, thinking of her uncle's words, thinking of her grandfather, she felt choked up for a while.

She took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and began to perform.

The play has begun, and all directions are open to listen.

One side is human, three sides are ghosts, and four sides are gods.

Grandpa, I will sing this song to you.

……

In the high-pitched piano and the leisurely sound of the erhu.

Pei Xueman's singing sounded.

"When the play breaks, the water sleeves rise and fall
Singing joys and sorrows, singing separation and reunion, it has nothing to do with me
Fans open and close, gongs and drums ring and silence

Outsiders in the drama, who can say..."

Beside him, Tsing Yi, played by the uncle, was wearing a red costume, dancing with the singing, walking slowly on the stage.

When he walks, it is like a gentle breeze blowing willows.

When she spoke, it sounded like Yan Yu was whispering, as if she was singing along with Pei Xueman.

"I'm used to blending joys, sorrows, and joys
So what about clichés?
My bones and ashes are all mine
In troubled times, duckweed endures watching beacon fires burn mountains and rivers

The humble did not dare to forget the worry about the country

Even if no one knows me..."

Accompanied by this crying song.

Director Zhou Jinpeng sat up suddenly, picked up the script in his hand with a look of surprise, opened the lyrics of "Red Ling", and read it carefully.

Accompanied by the singing in my ears.

He observed carefully, and for a moment, he was slightly lost in thought.

In troubled times, Duckweed bears watching the flames of flames burning mountains and rivers, and dares not forget to worry about the country even if no one knows me...

Even if no one knows me...

"good words!"

Zhou Jinpeng couldn't help applauding.

His voice was so loud that almost the entire audience could hear it, and it even slightly affected Pei Xueman's performance.

And the audience seemed to empathize with it, and even applauded at this moment.

Especially seeing the actor in the bright red costume, with a sad and determined look on his face.

For a while, many people felt a slight pain.

Distressed.

As the saying goes: Actors are ruthless.

But the truth and falsehood are all in the jokes, how can the audience know what the singer is thinking.

When the war is raging, even actors will eventually abandon their green clothes, take off their makeup, bathe in blood, and swing for nine days with a Wu hook in their hands!

When the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, even if the status was low and the status was low, he never thought about surviving.

In the face of humiliation, dare to take up the sword and deliver a blatant blow to the provocateur!
While everyone was in a trance.

The accompaniment rose again.

Pei Xueman's anger sank to her dantian, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, she put out her sword fingers with both hands, waving the gesture of an actor, and sang a deafening drama.

"The audience walked by
no old colors--

people on stage singing
Heartbreaking farewell song—"

Under the stage, the host Li Rui looked at Pei Xueman, who was waving the actor's gestures and singing in a dramatic voice.

For a moment, his face was full of surprise.

Pei Xueman's singing skills are so profound?
Is this still the Pei Xueman he knew?
The change is so huge?

Suddenly he remembered the songwriter of this song, and for a moment, his expression was full of understanding.

"Perhaps, it's not the person who sings, but the person who writes the song?"

At this moment, the Kunqu accent was graceful, and amidst Pei Xueman's singing, Tsing Yi waved his sleeves on the square-inch stage, which caused a burst of applause from the audience.

Someone picked up a mobile phone, recorded excitedly, and sent relevant clips to the Internet from time to time.

There are also people who are real fans of Pei Xueman, who accidentally heard this new song at the scene, their eyes were red with excitement, and they kept shouting on social platforms: "Jimei, it's so good! Sister Man's new song is so good!! Highly recommended!!"

on site.

Accompanied by the spread of opera, more and more people came to hear the sound from all directions amidst the interweaving of music.

Police officers who have already been notified are maintaining order.

But even the police, at this moment, were immersed in Pei Xueman's drama, slightly absent-minded.

"Love is hard to write
she sings blood shall make peace
curtain up

The curtain falls

Who is the guest—"
