Director of the Centre

Chapter 223 Xiaohan, I will support you

Storytelling is the same as singing, you need to speak correctly, and you can't just rely on your voice when you speak, but also use the energy of your dantian.Otherwise, for example, the story of "Passing Five Levels and Killing Six Generals".If you keep talking, your throat will be choked up before the second pass, and Second Master Guan won't have the strength to fight any more.

Not to mention decades ago, even now, there is no sound amplification equipment in teahouses.Today's teahouses are decorated elegantly and luxuriously. If you put a pair of big speakers and a microphone, it doesn't look good!

There are many people in the teahouse, and sometimes it can be messy. It is important to let everyone hear what you say.

Secondly, the speed of speech should be well controlled, fast should be fast, slow should be slow, high and low pitches should be switched in a timely manner, and no knots should be allowed.

Practicing voice is the basic skill of an opera actor. Tao Tao was considered articulate back then, but she also put in some effort.When she was practicing pronunciation when she was a child, she still had stones in her mouth and almost swallowed them.

And then there is the story, you are on stage, but no one will give you a book to read slowly when you forget.

However, there is still a way.

Hou Shirong said that the opening remarks still need to be memorized, which cannot be sloppy, but the rest can be freely played, such as the dialogue of characters, which can be added to the language of modern people.Otherwise, for example, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is all vernacular. If you recite a passage of Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Situ to death, few people will understand it.In this way, you can find a trick, you only need to remember the general storyline.For example, when you talk about "Battle of Wancheng", you only need to sort out the context of a story. Prime Minister Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, who fought with whom, and how the outcome was.Cao Mengde accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender, and was bored at night, asking his subordinates, "Is there...that, that, etc. in the city?" Then, Zhang Xiu stormed Cao Ying at night in a rage, and Dian Wei died in battle...

At this point, he coughed: "Boss Tao, you have sung all these stories, but this time you just changed the singing to tell stories."

Tao Tao showed a smile on her face: "It seems that telling the book is quite simple."

The scumbag boy shook his head: "Don't think it's simple, the story is that story, how to fill in the details within the framework of the story, how to shake the burden, and how to tell the characters and events interestingly is the real skill. Really good, even the story Needless to say, you can chat with you for an hour if you grasp a point. Another example is the Zhan Wancheng just mentioned, Cao Mengde and asked his subordinates, believe it or not that I can chat with you all night in one scene?"

Tao Tao's expression changed: "You are playing a hooligan."

Hou Shirong knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and wiped the cold sweat from his brow: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's continue practicing."

……

Since then, Tao Tao began to practice storytelling.As mentioned earlier, storytelling in Southwest Province is divided into two categories: Lei Peng and Qing Peng.

The ancient teahouse was a leisure place for the lower Liba people, and there was nothing particular about it, just set up a shed by the river.Storytellers go there to talk about their mouths to make a living, that is, to enter the shed.It is much higher than the grade of the street performing arts, at least it does not need to be exposed to the wind, sun and rain.

Qingpeng refers to literary and opera, which focuses on talents and beauties, and the customs of the world. Tao Tao used to sing Da Qingyi, so it should be said this, and it is quick to learn, and there is no need to memorize the words of the story.

However, she has sung Tsing Yi for decades, and she is a little tired of aesthetics, so she decided to say Lei Peng.

Lei Peng is playing dramas, such as dramas of emperors and generals, such as "Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Little Five Justices" and "Legends of Heroes".

"The chaos has not been divided into the heaven and the earth, and the vastness is indistinct. No one sees it. Since Pangu broke the majesty, he has opened up the distinction between the clear and the turbid. Overwhelming all living beings, upholding the utmost benevolence, and inventing all things are good. .”

That's right, this is the opening poem of Journey to the West.

"The monkey is in the mountains, but it can walk and jump, eat grass and trees, drink streams, pick mountain flowers, and forage trees and fruits; it is accompanied by wolves and insects, tigers and leopards are in groups, roe and deer are friends, and macaques are relatives; it sleeps on rocky cliffs at night. Underneath, in Chaoyou Peak Cave. There is really no Jiazi in the mountains, and the cold is so cold that I don’t know how long it will be."

The southwestern mandarin used is Tao Tao's practice at home.

Tao Tao is from the north and speaks standard Mandarin.Han Lu and Han Guoqing belong to the Basin Tu nationality, and Trump speaks slickly.

But the strange thing is that although Han Xiaomei was brought up by two elders, she can speak Mandarin well without an accent.

Tao Tao: "Xiao Han, can I speak the Southwest dialect?"

Han Lu: "It's not good, it's terrible." Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, he hurriedly asked: "You really plan to make money by talking about storytelling, but what you said is not very nice, I think it's a bit confusing."

Tao Tao: "You——fart."

"What a big Tsing Yi, how can you be so rude and indecent."

"Then you think I speak well?"

"It sounds good, it sounds good, it sounds really good." Han Lu didn't want to get entangled with her. His wife has depression, and it's not a solution to be idle every day.Running outside with the scumbag can also improve her mood, which is good for her condition.

Money is not important, the key is that she is annoying when she is not at home.

She left home to perform, isn't spring coming for me, Han Lu, my father and sister?

Han Lu was a little puzzled. He remembered that after his mother passed away, he and Tao Tao reached a reconciliation. The two of them were as good as honey, and they couldn't get enough time to stick together for 24 hours.For some reason, as long as she is at home, the air pressure in the room is at least two, and the whole family is unhappy.

It's so weird.

Tao Tao is a persevering person. From then on, she began to speak Southwest Mandarin and dialects with her family members, and even borrowed materials from her work unit.If I have nothing to do, I will memorize the notebook, and watch the video materials of dialect storytelling all day and all night.

When I was free, I even caught the whole family to listen to her for a few paragraphs.

After speaking, how about asking with high expectations?
Han Guoqing is from the older generation, and he said, "It's good, it's good."

Han Lu: "Wonderful, sister, you are a blockbuster, Xiao Kuocheng, Sai Tianfang, Wang Gang is so mad."

Tao Tao threw away the notebook in her hand, and said in high spirits, "Then I will go to the acupuncture point, Xiao Han, you have worked hard for you these years. When the family encounters difficulties, it is time for me to stand up."

"Sister, I think you have to be cautious. Gouta will talk about it after a few years." Han Lu reminded kindly.

Tao Tao: "A few years is too long, just seize the day and night. Xiao Han, I will support you."

Xiao Han felt speechless: Actually... sister Taozi, the book you mentioned is really not good!
Boss Tao, who feels that he has a great skill, suggested that it is time to go out to perform when he was practicing kung fu with the scumbag boy, so he could see money at least.

Hou Shirong said: "Do you want to take it easy?"

Tao Tao raised her eyebrows, and before she could get angry, the scumbag said repeatedly: "Let's go tomorrow, let's go tomorrow, let's go to Spring City, you go home and pack your luggage."

What he was most afraid of in his life was Tao Tao, who robbed other people's houses back then, and could not hold his head up in front of Master Tao for the rest of his life.

Hearing Boss Tao said that he was going to perform in Spring City, Han Lu only said to be careful all the way and let Hou Shirong drive more safely. In addition, you have to bring your medicine with you and take it on time. Let's play the video while taking the medicine, so don't fool me.

Our director Han has something on his mind in the past few days. Yang Guang is about to retire, who will be the leader of the superior row, and where the future of the cultural and art center will go is unknown.
