Artists of the national tradition start from the puppet show

Chapter 78 Yu Zhikui Lost His Voice
After the meal, Li Zhengsu also officially announced to everyone that he accepted Lin Mu as his apprentice.

This time, everyone looked at Lin Mu differently.

Prince!

This is a proper prince!

The head of the first troupe of the National Peking Opera Company is Li Zhengsu, and Yu Zhikui is the vice president of the National Peking Opera Company.

Lin Mu turned out to be the common apprentice of these two tycoons, this status, this status, is simply amazing!

Most of the actors showed envious expressions, only Zhang Fan put his arms around Lin Mu's neck and said excitedly, "Mun Shen, you will be my idol for the rest of my life, and I will only obey you in this life!"

Seeing Lin Mu's distressed look, Li Zhengsu patted Zhang Fan's arm fiercely with a distressed face, and said angrily, "It's not serious, you can strangle him to death again!"

Zhang Fan shrank his neck, there was nothing he could do, the woman protecting the calf was too scary!

However, Zhang Fan still winked at Lin Mu. Zhang Fan really admires this idol from the bottom of his heart!
And Lin Mu's sense of Zhang Fan is also very good. Ever since he came to the troupe, Zhang Fan has been taking care of him.

Even staying in the hotel this time, Zhang Fan lived with him. The relationship between the two can be said to be very good!

Yu Zhikui also said with a smile, "Okay, let's have a rehearsal in the morning, and prepare for the formal rehearsal in the afternoon!"

The sound platoon in the morning was very successful, and everyone completed their tasks meticulously.

I had some lunch at noon, took a short rest, and then started to make up and prepare for the formal rehearsal.

This is also the first time for Lin Mu to see two teachers, Yu Zhikui and Li Zhengsu, rehearsing with full makeup on the spot.

Yu Zhikui dressed up in a handsome old man, wearing a black trio, wearing a square gauze hat, decorated with a horse cover, with pheasant feathers inserted, wearing a red dragon flat gold python, hanging a jade belt, colored trousers on his lower body, and thick soles under his feet.

Li Zhengsu dressed up handsomely, combed his flag head, decorated with tall pieces, wore a blue embroidered cheongsam, a small waistcoat, colorful trousers, flag shoes, and held the god of joy in his arms.

This time, Lin Mu did not stand on the side curtain, but quietly went to the audience, found a corner to sit down, and watched the rehearsal from the perspective of an audience.

Wonderful and shocking, although this is not the first time Lin Mu has watched a play live, the famous actors are different.

It is almost a popular opera in Beijing opera, "Silang Visits His Mother", but under the performance of two teachers, Yu Zhikui and Li Zhengsu, it looks extraordinarily unusual.

During the camp tour, Yu Zhikui didn't look like an old man in his sixties at all. He performed a beautiful somersault, landed silently, and sat up with one arm.

Lin Mu was terrified watching this scene.

The so-called hanging hair is the movement of Peking opera actors showing sudden falls.

During the tour of the camp, Yang Silang tripped over the horse rope while riding a horse, and fell off the horse.

The whole movement is to move your body forward, turn your head down, flip in the air, and land on your back. After turning over, curl up your right leg, push hard, and stand up.

This action should be regarded as the basic skill in Peking Opera.

However, only in "Shiro Visits His Mother", this action is very dangerous.

It is because in "Silang Visits His Mother", there is a command arrow stuck in the back of Yang Silang's neck, which is inserted directly along the collar of the back of his neck.

When hanging the hair, the back is easily pierced by this command arrow, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be injured.

However, as an old actor, Yu Zhikui has acted in this play countless times, so he naturally knows where the joints of this action are. A beautiful hanging hair makes the actors in the backstage secretly pick their thumbs.

When the rehearsal was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two hours before the official performance would begin.

At this time, everyone should eat a little, but not too much.

Lin Mu didn't care, and came to Yu Zhikui and Li Zhengsu's dressing room with a boxed lunch.

Looking at Lin Mu who was devouring the food, the two teachers had amused expressions on their faces.

In front of Yu Zhikui was a small lunch box, which contained an egg, two slices of ham, a piece of bread, and a glass of water on the table next to it.

In front of Li Zhengsu, there was an apple, a box of milk, and nothing else!

Lin Mu asked while eating, "Two masters, you only eat this, won't you be hungry on stage?"

While peeling the eggs, Yu Zhikui said with a smile, "You really haven't been on stage before, haven't you heard of the phrase "Puff and Hungry?"

After swallowing the mouthful of rice in his mouth, Lin Mu said, "I've heard of it, but I never understood it. I can't bear to sing an opera on an empty stomach!"

Li Zhengsu chuckled, picked up an apple and took a bite, and said, "When you really go on stage, you will know how uncomfortable it is to sing on stage when you are full!"

Lin Mu said noncommittally, "Master Susu, this is not necessarily the case. How did I hear that some Peking opera masters have to eat more before going on stage!"

Li Zhengsu gave him a blank look, what is Master Susu? People have different hobbies. For example, when Mr. Zhang Junqiu sang "Su San Qi Jie", after singing the first part, he could eat forty dumplings in one breath when he returned to the backstage, and then continued to sing the latter part of "Three Trials". There is also an old gentleman in the troupe, he must eat a big elbow before the show starts, otherwise, he will not be happy singing today!"

Lin Mu listened to Li Zhengsu's anecdotes with a look of surprise, listening with gusto.

"However, these are individual cases. Most of the actors in Peking Opera just need a little padding before the start of the performance. You can't eat too much. After all, if you eat too much, your stomach will be full of things, and you will not be able to get angry. , But, I can’t do without eating, there are really actors who don’t eat, and they fainted from hypoglycemia on stage, that’s also not acceptable, so ah, just eating a little is enough!”

Yu Zhikui also said with a smile, "That's right, our Beijing opera actors' schedules and meals are different from normal people's. After the show is over, we will have normal dinner time!"

However, Lin Mu's face changed slightly, because he heard that Zhikui's voice seemed a little hoarse.

As Yu Zhikui's old partner for many years, Li Zhengsu also heard the problem with Yu Zhikui's voice, so he couldn't help but look over.

Yu Zhikui didn't notice anything, but seeing both of them looked at his face in surprise, he said unnaturally, "What's wrong, is my makeup messed up?"

As soon as these words came out, even Yu Zhikui felt a problem, because his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly utter a sound.

Yu Zhikui's expression changed immediately, he put down the half-eaten egg in his hand, and drank quickly.

After spitting out everything in his mouth, Yu Zhikui opened his mouth to speak, but the sound he made made him feel that something was wrong!
