King of soft rice

Chapter 51 – The Big Voice Xu Xian

After Zhai Nan finished reading the script, Director Sun couldn't help asking: "Are you sure about singing this part?"

Zhai Nan smiled lightly.

It's a joke, but my brother has a singing voice.Can you stop me by singing a little song?

Zhai Nan waved his hands and said, "Singing is not a problem, the problem is what to sing?"

Director Sun said: "Peking opera requires not only to be able to sing, but also to sing and play. I was looking for a teacher from an opera school, but by coincidence, his wife gave birth, so he rushed back. Now I can't find anyone. After all, although there are not many plays for this role, it is difficult to find someone to replace it."

Zhai Nan nodded slightly, and asked, "Which play are you singing?"

Zhao Qianqian replied directly: "In "The Legend of the White Snake - Touring the Lake", you play Xu Xian. You don't need to sing too much, as long as the first part is enough."

Zhai Nan immediately recalled in his mind that "Legend of the White Snake" is one of the classic pieces of Peking Opera.And Xu Xian's roles are performed by young students, which is a test of the school's actors' skills.

If it is an ordinary actor nowadays, I am afraid it will be difficult to perform the role of Xiaosheng well, because this requires a background in Peking Opera.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Director Sun deliberately found a teacher from the opera school to perform.

But now that the teacher has left in a hurry, it is difficult to find someone temporarily.

When Zhai Nan was recalling Xu Xian from "Legend of the White Snake", comparing the memories of the two generations, he suddenly discovered that in this world, there is no singing style of Xu Xian with a loud voice.

In the memory of the previous life, the big voice Xu Xian was created by Mr. Li Shaochun.Back then, "The Legend of the White Snake" was re-adapted and pushed to the world stage.

But Xiaosheng's dragon and phoenix voice was not accepted by foreign audiences.Therefore, Mr. Li Shaochun boldly used the old-fashioned singing voice, which was perfectly integrated into the role of Xu Xian, forming the singing style of Xu Xian with a big voice, and promoting the quintessence of Peking Opera to the world stage.

But in this world, Peking opera artists have their own persistence, and they have not changed their singing styles because of the preferences of foreigners.Therefore, the singing style of Xu Xian with a big voice did not appear on the stage of opera in this world.

While Zhai Nan was thinking, Zhao Qianqian and Director Sun thought Zhai Nan was afraid.

Director Sun said directly: "Zhai Nan, if you can't sing, you don't have to carry it hard. After all, this is the quintessence of the country. Without more than ten years of hard work, ordinary people really can't sing."

Zhao Qianqian said the same way: "I came here to ask you, if it doesn't work, forget it, I didn't intend to rely on you to complete this scene."

Zhai Nan smiled lightly and said, "I have no problem singing Xu Xian, but my singing method may be a little different."

Director Sun frowned, "It's a little different, what do you mean? You can't, and don't mess around!"

Zhao Qianqian smiled directly: "Do you still want to sing like a rock?"

Zhai Nan shook his head and said, "That's not true, but I will make some innovations."

When Director Sun heard this, he couldn't help snorting, and said with a light smile, "Can you innovate Peking Opera?"

Zhai Nan raised his eyebrows frivolously, "How can I say that I grew up under the roots of the imperial city, and even listened to Peking Opera when I was young. It's hard to say whether I can innovate Peking Opera, but at least the role of Xu Xian, I can be different."

Director Sun sneered directly, "I've seen a lot of crazy people, but I've never seen you so crazy. Peking opera has been around for hundreds of years, and I really haven't seen anyone who can innovate!"

Zhai Nan also chuckled, "That means you are ignorant. No matter what kind of art form is, it is constantly innovating and seeking development. Even if you are talking about Peking Opera, which has been around for a hundred years, it is also an innovation of Hui Opera, and at the same time it integrates The singing of operas such as Kunqu Opera and Qin Opera, and finally formed an art form. If the opera artists back then were as old-fashioned as you, I am afraid that there will be no Peking Opera now.”

After Zhai Nan finished speaking, Director Sun was immediately speechless.

Compared with his knowledge reserve, Zhai Nan was really not afraid of anyone.

With the ability of photographic memory, no matter what it is, as long as he glances at it, it will be imprinted in his mind forever.

Comparing Zhai Nan with dropping his schoolbag, that is hitting himself at the muzzle of a gun.

Zhao Qianqian was also a little embarrassed seeing the two of them blushing from the quarrel, and quickly said, "Everyone take a breath, don't worry."

When Director Sun saw Zhao Qianqian talking, he just snorted softly.

But Zhai Nan just smiled. Although this grandson's words were rude, Zhai Nan respected him very much.After all, he fights for the art he understands, rather than following the trend.At the very least, he treats his plays very rigorously.

Zhai Nan looked at Director Sun and smiled, and said directly: "Director Sun, it's all a lie if we just talk and don't practice. My understanding of the role of Xu Xian is good or bad. In the end, it depends on the audience's acceptance." I don’t accept it. Let’s go outside and sing a section now, and see if the audience can accept it.”

Director Sun groaned and said, "Just try it, I don't believe you can sing flowers!" After saying that, he got up and went out to greet people.

Zhao Qianqian looked at Zhai Nan, and said coquettishly: "You are really good at causing trouble. It was like asking you to play a role, but I didn't expect you to cause trouble."

Zhai Nan smiled and said, "Whether it's a trouble or a surprise, you'll know in a while. Come on, Miss Zhao!" Then he made a gentle gesture of invitation.

Zhao Qianqian smiled helplessly, and followed Zhai Nan out of the dressing room.

At this moment, in the open space outside, the whole production crew had already gathered around.

Director Sun said directly: "This newcomer has just been recruited, and now I want to try his play, everyone give some advice. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wei, please both of you." The teacher of the boatman's opera school nodded, and then waved at Zhai Nan, "Let's start!"

And Zhao Qianqian also studied Peking Opera when she was a child, so she is naturally a professional with skills.It's just that I haven't practiced for many years, but now this appearance is not too bad.

Needless to say, the two opera school teachers are both professionals in their majors.

In front of the three of them, Zhai Nan was just a layman among laymen.

However, Zhai Nan's actor-level acting skills and singer-level voice are not given for nothing.Especially the agility of more than 100 is also playing a role now, allowing Zhai Nan to quickly keep up with the rhythm of the three without dragging down the scene.

Although there was no accompaniment at the scene, when Zhao Qianqian opened his voice, everyone applauded.

I only heard Zhao Qianqian sing: "Leaving Emei to the south of the Yangtze River, there are such beautiful lakes and mountains in the world. The Baochu Pagoda on this side is reflected in the waves, and the good tower on the other side is next to the Three Pools. Yang Liusi on the Su Causeway took the boat The child pulls lightly, the peach and plum blossoms in the trembling wind are like shy spring cold..."

After Zhao Qianqian sang this passage, many people started applauding.

Not to mention whether Zhao Qianqian's singing is good or not, just because of her status as a first-line star, she can sing this passage in a precise manner, which is already worthy of everyone's applause.

And Zhai Nan is naturally not bad, and sang after him: "The spirit of the tomb-sweeper just left, and the wind and rain suddenly blurred when he returned. The wind blows the willow leaves, and the rain beats the peach blossoms. How can there be leisure in the busy schedule? Willow under the shelter How is it suitable for rain?"

After Zhai Nan sang this sentence, everyone present was stunned, even the two opera teachers who followed him in the show also stayed where they were.

"Big voice Xu Xian?"

"The singing is good, but it's a pity that the singing is wrong."

"What the hell is this, how can it be sung like that!"

"Where did this guy come from? Will he play Xiaosheng?"

Under the attack of a group of old fanciers, a group of young people nodded slightly.

"This man sings well!"

"It's probably the teacher I just found."

"It sounds different from what I've heard before, but I think he sings better."

"His singing style is very interesting, with a unique charm!"
