Chapter 107
Jiang Muliang let the young actors who participated in the performance of the Kunqu opera "Legend of the White Snake" perform on stage for Shen Ge. While these actors were excited, Shen Ge was also flattered.He was just here for a visit at the invitation of Su Lin, but how could their behavior feel like he was here to inspect...

Besides, even if he gave them the complete "Legend of the White Snake" as a gift, it doesn't have to be like this. He is still a newcomer in the Kunqu opera world, and he has not even studied Kunqu opera for as long as Su Lin!
But Jiang Muliang and Mr. Lin naturally didn't know this. Shen Ge came suddenly. The actors didn't wear makeup or costumes, so they just performed for Shen Ge on stage like a rehearsal. Su Lin played Bai Suzhen, and the other A Kundan plays Xiaoqing. Although the two are young, they have good skills, and everyone in the audience is pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Su's personality has always been like this. If she is not in a hurry, she will become a great weapon in the future!" Elder Lin praised with a smile.

"Yes," Jiang Muliang nodded, with a satisfied look in his eyes, "Although he is not very talented, he is very down-to-earth. Over the past few years, I have watched him grow step by step..."

Having said that, he looked at Shen Ge again, "Brother Shen is young, and he is somewhat similar to Lin Er, but both in terms of talent and hard work, he is much higher than my apprentice!"

Shen Ge smiled modestly: "Senior Jiang is absurd!"

"Hey," Jiang Muliang and Lin Lao said in unison, "Modest!"

At the end of the Yizhe opera performance, all the Kunqu opera performers on the stage got off the stage.Su Lin came to Jiang Muliang, scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Master, I made a few mistakes just now!"

"It's ok!"

Jiang Muliang waved his hand, "Everyone is not familiar with this play. It's normal to make some mistakes. Don't blame yourself, just rehearse slowly. And it's just a discount. If the whole play is performed, I'm afraid it will There are more mistakes, don't worry, just correct the mistakes, and Lin Lao and I won't blame you..."

Hearing this, several young actors nodded heavily.

"I don't know if little brother Shen is interested in participating in the rehearsal of "Legend of the White Snake". After all, your strength is not bad, and you gave us this Kunqu Opera as a gift. If there is a performance at that time, you can bring it to show on the stage." On stage, that would be great!" Jiang Muliang said to Shen Ge.

"Uh……"

Shen Ge pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and refused with a smile: "Senior Xie Jiang's kindness, but I am not yet proficient in Kunqu opera. If I perform "Legend of the White Snake" on stage, forget it, but I want to join everyone Rehearse the play."

Jiang Muliang glanced at Shen Ge and nodded: "Okay, but if you want to perform, our music club welcomes you very much!"

"Thank you!"

Shen Ge thanked.

Li Ying on the side stared blankly, although she didn't know how high Jiang Muliang's identity was and how powerful she was, but she only learned from the Yanjing Kunqu Opera Institute!From the name, it can be seen that this music company is many times more powerful than the master's Tianyuan Theater in Chuzhou; moreover, Senior Jiang Muliang and Elder Lin are so polite to Shen Ge, which makes her feel a little incredible.

Even though the master told her that Shen Ge's background might be unusual, but according to her recent observations, in her eyes, Shen Ge's performance is nothing more than a college student with a great talent for drama.

Because his life is not so comfortable, in addition to attending classes every day, he also comes to the theater to perform in the evening; sometimes he can even be seen bringing books to the theater to study. These behaviors are no different from ordinary college students. She had almost forgotten what Master had said to her.

But looking at it now, the master may not be wrong, and from what Senior Jiang Muliang and Elder Lin said, it seems that Shen Ge also gave them a complete copy of the Kunqu Opera "Legend of the White Snake", which is unheard of, because He has only performed Mei Pai singing in Tianyuan Theater, but looking at it now, maybe he will do other things.

Li Ying looked at Shen Ge with more and more curiosity. At the same time, she suddenly remembered what the master said to her that night, and she understood why when she learned that Shen Ge was coming to the capital, the master who seldom asked for help Suddenly let him bring her to the capital, besides letting her come out to see the world, maybe there are other reasons...

As if aware of her strange gaze, Shen Ge slightly raised his head to look at her, and Li Ying hurriedly turned her head to look to the other side.

Shen Ge was a little puzzled.

"Let's not talk about that, it's almost time for dinner now," Jiang Muliang said with a smile, "I have long said that I will hold a banquet to thank Little Brother Shen, so I just took advantage of this opportunity to entertain!"

"it is good."

Shen Ge smiled.

There is a saying in Yanjing that if you don’t go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and it’s a pity not to eat Quanjude Roast Duck.

As one of the most famous delicacies in Yanjing City, the name of this restaurant was interpreted by Premier Zhou as "all and perfect, gather together but never leave, benevolence is paramount" spanning three centuries, and even the whole duck feast has been mentioned several times by Zhou Selected by the Prime Minister for the state banquet, it is known as "the best food in China"!
Although Shen Ge stayed in Yanjing for a long time, Bai Huawei took him to eat all the famous snacks in the streets and alleys, but this was the first time to eat the roast duck in Quanjude.

When Shen Ge, Li Ying and the others looked at the delicate and artwork-like delicacies being put on the table, the greedy worms in their hearts were hooked, and the eyes of everyone were shining with excitement, and they couldn't help but Call the boss directly in my heart!

"This is really under the influence of Teacher Shen Ge!"

Su Lin said with a smile.

A person next to him glanced at him, "It's the same as if you don't come to eat normally."

"Brother Su often comes here to buy roast duck!"

"Brother Su is a regular visitor here!"

One sentence immediately aroused everyone's agreement.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

Jiang Muliang glanced at Shen Ge, waved his hand, and signaled him to try it first.

"Senior Jiang treats guests, so I won't be polite!" Shen Ge smiled slightly and said to everyone, "Let's eat together."

Although there is no express rule that opera actors cannot smoke and drink, basically all opera actors will not choose to do such things that ruin their future in order to protect their voices.So no one on the court drank alcohol, they all drank tea.Of course, it may be that they dare not, after all, Jiang Muliang and Lin Laoke are still here, if anyone really takes out the wine, they may be scolded to death by the two, or directly expelled from the sect.

Therefore, the so-called "wine table culture" such as "fish raising" and "if you don't drink, you don't give me face" is even less likely to appear on their table.

Everyone had a great time eating this meal. Chen Ge chatted with Mr. Lin and Jiang Muliang for a long time. These two are big figures in the opera world, and they know more about Kunqu opera than he doesn't know. How many times, after some discussion, Shen Ge benefited a lot.

Jiang Muliang also pointed out a way for Shen Ge, which was Mei Zu's way!
Because the situation of the two is similar, not to mention that he learned from the Mei school, if he followed the path of Master Mei Lanfang, although it would not allow him to reach a high level, it would be enough to save him from taking many detours.

For this, Shen Ge did not express clearly that he would follow the direction Jiang Muliang said, because as he said, following Mei Zu's footsteps can indeed save a lot of detours, and if he persists, maybe in the future, after a thorough understanding, there will be Mei Zu. Maybe Zu's demeanor.

However, he has his own ideas. He can learn from Mei Zu in the process of honing his opera singing, because after all, he has integrated the charm of Mei School in his body now.But he just wants to learn from it, not to imitate it completely. Even though he doesn't have any lofty goal of establishing a school at this moment, he still intends to blaze a trail of his own.

Shen Ge thought of an old senior in the Beijing opera world, senior Guan Zhengming known as "Guan Laoxie". Although others called him "Xie", this word meant praise and praise. The complex melody of the singing has both the bright tone of the Tan school, the chicness of the Ma school, and the gentle and elegant style of the Yan school, thus forming its own unique singing and performance style.

In his later years, Guan Lao's style became more and more obvious, and he seemed to have the idea of ​​establishing a sect, but in the end, only his son inherited some characteristics of the "Guan School". Apart from this, there was no other inheritance. Therefore, the "Guan faction" has not been fully formed and implemented.But now, some Peking Opera actors and fanciers have begun to call themselves "Guan School" and admit to "Guan School"...

"To establish a sect, for me who can only know Mei School, Yan School and Kunqu Opera, it's a bit too ambitious." Shen Ge smiled bitterly in his heart, "I don't even dream of doing this kind of dream, let's take it slowly. As for the future There won't be a school of 'Shen School', who knows for sure."

Jiang Muliang and Elder Lin naturally didn't know what Chen Ge was thinking about laughing at himself at the moment, and they were just a suggestion to him about the path, what to do would ultimately depend on the master behind Shen Ge and his own thoughts.

After it was over, it was agreed to come to the Kunqu Opera Research Club to rehearse "The Legend of the White Snake" with everyone tomorrow, Shen Ge and Li Ying took a taxi back to the hotel where they were staying.

On the way back, Li Ying looked at Shen Ge hesitantly, and finally couldn't help expressing the doubts in her heart, "Obviously you are about the same age as me, and I have been running around with Master since I was a child. You are just a college student with a teacher who likes to sing, but now I find that you are so mysterious, I can't see through you at all."

Shen Ge suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, he finally knew why she looked at him so strangely all day long, it turned out that she had been struggling with this matter, he looked at Li Ying and sighed helplessly: "What can I be mysterious about? Just like you said, I am just a college student who loves to sing, otherwise what do you think? Could it be that I am still a reclusive expert, immortal..."

"no!"

Li Ying shook her head seriously, "Why do you know so many things at such a young age, and know so many seniors? I can't figure it out."

"It's just that I have a better talent," Shen Ge smiled, and explained: "The reason why I knew Senior Jiang from the Kunqu Opera Club was because I came to the capital once a while ago, and I happened to know Su Lin, and then I met Su Lin again. I got to know senior Jiang Muliang and Mr. Lin. After all, it is more convenient to have close friends when you are away from home, and you can learn a lot with them."

Li Ying blinked.

Shen Ge smiled bitterly: "Otherwise you think how mysterious I am!"

"So that's how it is..." Li Ying showed a dazed look, "I just didn't expect that you are about the same age as me, but you feel much more mature than me."

"Are you calling me old?"

"No no!"

Li Ying waved her hands again and again, "You look so young and handsome, how could I call you old!"

Seeing her like this, Shen Ge smiled lightly and did not speak.

The next day, Shen Ge and Li Ying came to the Kunqu Opera Research Club again, preparing to rehearse "Legend of the White Snake" with Su Lin and other young actors.

In the hearts of Jiang Muliang, Lin Lao, and many young actors, they all felt that the reason why Shen Ge chose to rehearse with them was just because he was embarrassed to say that he was guiding them, so he just used an excuse to rehearse together, otherwise he would not have kept emphasizing I don't perform on stage anymore.

It's just that they don't know that Shen Ge really doesn't know "Legend of the White Snake", and rehearsing with them really wants to practice this play!

With Shen Ge playing Bai Suzhen and Su Lin playing Xiaoqing, they rehearsed several twists and turns of The Legend of the White Snake several times in the morning, and at the same time showed Jiang Muliang and Lin Lao the most classic Broken Bridge quite formally.

"Not bad, really good!"

After the performance, Jiang Muliang praised it sincerely.

Shen Ge said modestly: "There is still a lot of room for improvement."

"I didn't feel much when I played Bai Suzhen before, but today I played Xiaoqing, and I always felt that I didn't use much strength, like a dispensable supporting role," Su Lin's face was full of doubts. , he scratched his head and said, "Could it be because Bai Suzhen, played by Teacher Shen Ge, is an older sister, and she can't help but suppress me in terms of momentum?"

Jiang Muliang smiled and shook his head, then turned to look at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge understood, and after a pause, he explained to Su Lin: "It's not because I am the first road and you are the second road; I am the older sister and you are the younger sister..."

"Why is that?" Su Lin asked in confusion.

"The reason why you feel this way has nothing to do with who plays Bai Suzhen, but because you have never played Xiaoqing before, so you don't know the full role of Xiaoqing in the play. Xiaoqing is a key character in the play, not only Only with Bai Suzhen's help..."

"Bai Suzhen's feelings for Xu Xian are love and hate, while Xu Xian is regret, love and fear for the white snake. Of course, he and Bai Suzhen are a couple after all, so I know that even if Bai Suzhen hates, it is impossible to really kill her." killed him."

"But Xiaoqing is different. Compared with Xu Xian, she cares more, and the one who loves her more is naturally the White Snake. As a younger sister, seeing Bai Suzhen being hurt like this by Xu Xian, if he didn't still have scruples, I'm afraid he would have given Xu Xian to him a long time ago." It's broken into pieces."

"So, Xiaoqing only hates Xu Xian!"

Speaking of this, Su Lin suddenly realized, "When I played Xiaoqing, I was just a supporting role to set off Bai Suzhen. It was a bit too facial, and the emotions were not intense enough!"

"Yes!"

Shen Ge nodded, "Although Xu Xian is afraid of the white snake, he has nothing to worry about; but Xiaoqing will really kill him. So one of the main reasons why Xu Xian completely repents is not only his love for the white snake, but also his fear of the green snake." Just now in the play, you didn't show that kind of resentment, wanting to get rid of it and then quickly, that's why you have a feeling that you are dispensable..."

　Thank you Zhenqing for your reward, thank you for your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets ξ(>)
