I want to make headlines

Chapter 51

Gan Jing's mood can't be said to be good or bad, but it's a bit complicated.

As a young man, he didn't have much feeling for Peking Opera before. He only became interested after experiencing the acting experience in Farewell My Concubine. Until now, the only part he can sing is Yu Ji's part.

The brother who sang when I left today has not yet taught it, but he saw it on the disc and thought it was very good, so he took advantage of the situation and wrote it down.

This is a passage from the Peking Opera classic "Ganlu Temple". It is about the three brothers Liu Bei, and it is especially enjoyable after a long passage.

In fact, Gan Jing sang a lot of mistakes. He just sang according to his own understanding. Fortunately, he didn't have any professionals, so it seemed particularly delicate.

Encountering such an incident, Gan Jing went straight to Master Tan Yuan's house after simply visiting the Forbidden City.

"Master, I met a foreigner." Entering the courtyard, I greeted all the way until I saw the old man sitting on the bamboo chair.

Tan Yuan was squinting at the practice of his disciples and grandchildren, and when he saw the named disciples hurrying over, he smiled and said, "What? There are foreigners in your play?"

"Uh, yes. Ah no, I didn't mean that." Gan Jing mentioned to his master on the phone that he played Mei Lanfang, "I went to the Forbidden City today, and a foreigner said that our Chinese cultural heritage is gone. I said yes. Beijing opera, he said that no one will watch it and no one will learn it!"

When he was outside, Gan Jing could sing a passage on his own to prove that he was learning Peking Opera. When facing his master, this master who sang Peking Opera all his life, he was also a little puzzled.

On weekdays, in Yangcheng, he really didn't see anyone who liked to listen to Beijing opera.

This is the case in Yangcheng, but what about other cities?By extension, what about nationally?
Tan Yuan heard his apprentice say such a thing, his squinted eyes gradually opened, he helped a bamboo chair, and sat up a little: "Look."

Gan Jing was a little puzzled, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Tan Yuan, with white beard and hair, pointed to the yard, pointed to the disciples and grandchildren in the yard, and said, "Look at these children who are learning Peking Opera."

Gan Jing thought of his brothers who were in Yangcheng to promote Peking Opera.

Tan Yuan withdrew his hand, and said a little lonely: "Peking opera has not been interrupted, but it is also a fact that young people are watching less and learning less and less."

"Then what should we do?" Gan Jing asked anxiously.

"That's your business." Tan Yuan suddenly smiled, "Your brother Tan Shan is working hard, your junior brother Shang Xiaorong is working hard, and your junior sister Tan Shan is working hard."

"No matter what, they are working hard. Whether Peking Opera can be passed on is a matter of your generation. I have already done what I should do." Tan Yuan said very open-minded.

"Perhaps Peking Opera needs to keep up with the pace of the times and change. This needs to be discussed by you." He stroked his beard and said, "Let's stay for dinner today and meet your brothers."

This was Tan Yuan's initiative to ask Gan Jing to stay for dinner, and he didn't say this when he first came to see him last time.

That night, Tan Yuan talked a lot about sex, he talked a lot about Beijing opera, and he also said a lot of his thoughts.

That night, Gan Jing listened to a lot, and he respected Master who also had worries but was still open-minded and optimistic.

……

"Let me introduce, this is Wu Gang, playing the second master Fei."

"Second Master Fei, this is a newcomer named Gan Jing, please take care of this kid."

"Got it."

Contrary to Gan Jing's expectation, after the male lead was settled, the crew was set up very quickly.

Many scenes of Mei Lanfang's movie were shot in the capital, and some actors who were already in the capital soon came to report, and Wu Gang was one of them.

He is a native of Beijing. He graduated from the Beijing People's Art Theater. He has already participated in many films and his acting skills are very good.

However, looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, is this a newcomer?It's like I haven't seen it at all before.

Facing his scrutiny, Gan Jing stretched out his right hand curiously: "Second Master Fei, please give me your advice." Second Master Fei is Wu Gang's role in the play, and he doesn't have many roles.

Wu Gang smiled and said humbly, "Don't dare. Learn from each other."

Gan Jing nodded, looking curiously at the bustling people in the crew, wondering, what are they busy with?feet not touching the ground...

Wu Gang saw the doubts of the newcomers, and explained: "This is the start-up ceremony. Worshiping God for auspiciousness is also a way to get the whole team together to mobilize."

Gan Jing suddenly realized, no wonder he saw a long table over there covered with a red cloth.

"Will everyone come?" Gan Jing really didn't know anything about this.

"Almost, the leading actors will be there." Wu Gang said, "It's also a courtesy."

Gan Jing scanned and found several familiar faces, Sun Honglei, Yingda...

He was a little excited, thinking that he would ask for an autograph later.

"Everyone is here, everyone is here." Chen Kaige suddenly clapped his hands and shouted loudly, "The opening ceremony begins!"

The busy people suddenly put down their work and gathered towards Director Chen, Gan Jing was also dragged there by Wu Gang.

Wu Gang really regarded this guy as a newcomer. He only thought that this guy was playing a supporting role like himself—but he was a related newcomer. When he first introduced him, Director Chen actually came to introduce him.

"We are all acquaintances, so I won't introduce them one by one. Zhang Ziyi is still filming and will join the group in a few days." Chen Kaige grabbed an electronic speaker from nowhere, and the sound was very loud.

"Bye bye Guan Erye, the boot is going smoothly." Chen Kaige muttered something, calling for everyone to stand up, and just about to turn around and prepare to worship God, suddenly felt that something was missing.

He turned his head and saw that Gan Jing was standing in a corner chatting with Wu Gang as if watching the excitement.

Chen Kaige frowned, stretched out his hand towards Gan Jing and said, "Gan Jing, come here."

Gan Jing was stunned for a moment, and came out, and heard Chen Kaige say again: "Everyone is familiar with the others, so I won't introduce them. This is the newcomer Gan Jing, who plays Mei Lanfang."

There had been rumors before that Liming had been squeezed out, some were about a newcomer, and some were about another superstar.

It's just that the words in the entertainment circle are half true and half false, and many things about the ups and downs are just listened to, and can't be taken seriously.

At first, these people thought that Li Ming, like Zhang Ziyi, had no time to come and waited a few days before joining the group, but they didn't expect to be replaced!

Among them, Wu Gang who chatted with Gan Jing just now was the most surprised. What kind of newcomer is this?Squeeze out dawn when you come up?This is too violent!
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Gan Jing differently.

Gan Jing was pulled by Chen Kaige to stand beside him, felt some awkward gazes from others, and smiled modestly at Sun Honglei and Chen Hong beside him.

Chen Kaige didn't care too much. He didn't announce the news before to protect the newcomer Gan Jing, but now he has to bear it when he arrives on the set.

"Good luck!" he yelled.

"Good luck!" The others followed suit.

Gan Jing yelled along in a daze, unaware that his first day of acting had just started like this.
