National style artist

Chapter 134
As the saying goes, raw books are familiar with operas, and raw books are familiar with operas. The reason why this opera is said to be so is because it can stand up to listening and the polishing of opera actors!
From the birth of opera to the present, although many famous masters have created many classic operas, the ones that have survived to this day are not that special. When the play was performed, I didn't feel any dullness. This is the charm of opera.

A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, and a thousand opera actors can also perform different styles when performing the same opera.

The play that Du Jinfang told him is the complete play "Si Lang Visits His Mother" that has been completely preserved at present. Because of this, the whole play is rare, and basically all schools of Danjiao have performed this play. , but compared with Mei and Shang, Xun and Cheng are relatively less, after all, they have their own characteristics.

Master Du Jinfang started from the background story of this play, and then talked about the relationship between Princess Iron Mirror and Yang Yanhui. She became a princess, stayed for fifteen years, and gave birth to a little elder brother. This is a point of conflict.

In fact, before the oath in "Sitting Palace", when Princess Tie Jing learned of his identity, she had already expressed her attitude towards Yang Yanhui. When Yang Silang planned to say that he was the general of the Yang family, Princess Tie Jing Immediately suppressed him, beckoning him to keep his voice down, don't want others to hear, from here she showed the character of Princess Tie Jing, who has been with Yang Yanhui for fifteen years, not only knows Yang Yanhui's temperament well, but also the two The relationship between husband and wife is also very good.

And why did she want to make the vow of the consort?
This has already been said in the libretto, "Where are you going to change your words, I will not stop you if you want to worship Gaotangmu!", the ice and snow smart Princess Tie Jing learned of Yang Silang's true identity, and he She also planned to go back to Songying to visit her mother, and her intuition as a woman told her that this kid didn't say everything, and there must be a wife at home, so she was afraid that Yang Silang would not come back, so she specifically said that you were going to see you Of course I won't stop my mother.

As for whether Yang Silang understood what she meant, it is unknown.

Some people in the opera world are very puzzled, why does "Si Lang Visits His Mother" have a discount for seeing his wife? They think that since Yang Yanhui already has Princess Tie Jing, after coming to Songying to see his mother, he can just go back as agreed, and add more Wouldn't it be difficult for Yang Yanhui, who lives in the Northland and has been married to Princess Iron Mirror for fifteen years, to be a wife? It will inevitably have some impact on this character's personality setting. .

However, some people think that "Meeting My Wife" is indispensable, and it enriches Yang Yanhui's character. Waiting for his wife for more than ten years, on the one hand, she has been with him for 15 years, gave birth to an heir for him, and even took the risk of stealing the arrow to let him go back to the camp to visit his mother, so no matter what he chooses, he will let Yang Shiro was in great pain.

The fourth wife, who was lazy to wear flowers for Yang Silang and put on this dressing table for Yang Silang, said helplessly to Yang Yanhui when he was about to leave: "You have to come and take me."

In fact, whether it is Yang Yanhui or the fourth wife, they both know each other very well. After meeting this time, maybe they will never meet again in this life. She also knows that her husband can't take her away. The background of this play is determined. Yang Yanhui is destined not to be in charge of Zhaoyang Courtyard with Wang Baochuan and Princess Daizhan like Xue Pinggui.

Nowadays, when opera actors are acting in this play, some will perform the twist of "Seeing Wife", but some will not. As for the reason, it may be due to different genres or personal habits.

In a certain version of "Si Lang Visits His Mother", when Yang Yanhui bid farewell to Princess Tie Jing at the end of the pass, Princess Tie Jing asked him to help with a message: "The iron mirror girl is crying, respect my son-in-law and listen to me. I'm going to see you now." I went to my mother-in-law's face, and brought a few words for me. I wish my mother-in-law a healthy life, and I wish the emperor a happy life."

This is to say hello to the mother-in-law.

Although the two countries are at war, the previous relationship between this individual has nothing to do with it. The husband is the husband, and the mother-in-law is the mother-in-law. Otherwise, when Princess Tie Jing learned of Yang Yanhui's true identity, she should have dragged him out and beheaded him.

After Yang Yanhui returned to the camp to see his mother, Mrs. She asked whether Princess Fanbang was virtuous or not, Yang Yanhui naturally had to boast a few words: "Princess Tiejing is so cute, she can be called a filial daughter with a jade skirt, a husband and wife who have loved each other for fifteen years. I gave birth to a little baby."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. She understood, and sang: "Looking at Fanbang's deep worship, the virtuous daughter-in-law cannot come..."

If we consider it according to this version of the libretto, it is obvious that Yang Yanhui does not have an original wife, and Mrs. She is also very satisfied with Princess Tie Jing. .

So don’t think that everyone plays "Si Lang Visits His Mother" and think it is just an ordinary Peking opera. In fact, there are still many twists and turns in it. Many young actors do not understand this. When mentioning this play, I was the first to think of "Sitting in the Palace", and I can sing this classic directly.

It is true that you can sing, but how well you sing is thought-provoking.

If there is no emotion at all, what's the use of just performing this part mechanically, dryly!

Time passed quickly. This time, Shen Ge felt the feeling that Li Ying told him at the beginning. He clearly felt that only an hour or two had passed, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark. , Unknowingly, four or five hours have passed.

Although the tea was refilled for Master one cup after another, Shen Ge was immersed in it and never recovered from listening to Master Du Jinfang's explanation. Now that he had finished speaking, he shook his head, patted his face, and cheered up. Spirit: "I didn't expect such a long time to pass, it's already past six o'clock, Master worked so hard to teach me about the play all afternoon!"

"it's okay no problem!"

Master Du Jinfang smiled and waved his hands, "You have a good sense of understanding, you can understand me if I say a few words, I learned a lot this afternoon, go back and digest it well, don't just eat it with steamed buns Stomach gone."

"Hahaha!"

Shen Ge said with a smile: "Master, look at what you said, how can this be possible, I remember every word you said in my heart!"

"That's good."

Shen Ge asked again: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go buy something and come back to make it."

"You don't need to go out to buy anything, you have everything at home," Master Du Jinfang said with a smile, "I don't eat much at night, you can eat whatever you want, I just have some soup."

"it is good!"

Shen Ge nodded.

He knew the master's habits, and after hearing her words at this moment, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and went straight to the kitchen to cook.

The master is old, so naturally he is not very interested in big fish and meat, and Shen Ge is also not a person with heavy taste, so he boiled millet porridge and a plate of green vegetables. , but it is enough.

"Xiao Shen, why do you eat so little?"

Seeing Shen Ge's appetite, Master Du Jinfang couldn't help being surprised and said: "Look how thin you are, and you don't know how to eat more."

"Master, I can't get fat from eating."

Shen Ge smiled wryly, and said: "I've always looked like this since I was a child, no matter how much I eat, I won't gain weight. My mother often said that I'm a glutton but not fat..."

"Hahaha, a glutton is not fat, why did your mother say that about you?"

After hearing his words, Master Du Jinfang was amused by him.

"I don't know either." Shen Ge shook his head, "I don't eat much all the time. When I was at home, my mother would call me gluttonous every day. I really can't figure it out. This saying can't be applied to me."

"But for you, there's no harm in eating more."

Master Du Jinfang said seriously.

People depend on food, and it seems that in the eyes of the elders, eating fat for nothing is a manifestation of health.

Shen Ge's grandfather once told him about the history of the Great Famine in [-]. People ate up everything, bark, grass roots... It really fully reflected the word starvation everywhere.

The master and apprentice had a very pleasant meal, because the daughter of Master Du Jinfang married far away to Italy, so usually only some old friends, disciples, and younger generations would come to have a look. The arrival of Shen Ge added to the house He brought a lot of vitality, and he often made Master Du Jinfang laugh, and the master and apprentice got along very well.

This time it was hard to find time to come here, Shen Ge naturally wouldn't just study for an afternoon and leave. At night, he left the master's house and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

The news of coming to Yanjing has not been told to Bai Huawei and Su Lin. Otherwise, if they know that he has come to the capital, they will inevitably invite him to live in the capital. How long to stay here before deciding whether to tell them or not.

After arriving at the hotel, Li Ying sent him a message.

"The people from the Yunfeng Theater still didn't come to make trouble today. Could it be that this is the end of the matter? But this is not Ye Yunfeng's vindictive character. I always feel that they are holding back some evil intentions."

Shen Ge replied: "The business of our theater is still very good, right?"

"Ok!"

Li Ying continued to send a message: "It is still full of seats today. This business is very strange. It has never happened before. It feels like all of a sudden, all the theater fans in Chuzhou City came to our theater to listen to the show. .”

"Hahaha, it's not good that business is booming."

Li Ying: "It's just that many people didn't see you today. They feel very sorry. I told them that you will be back in two days. I don't know if they will come..."

Shen Ge: "I should. I'll be back in two days. I'll learn a little more from Master these days. After all, time is money."

"Okay, then go for it!"

After the two chatted on Weixin, Shen Ge washed up and fell asleep.

The next morning, he got up early as usual, Shen Ge always felt that compared with lunch and dinner, getting up early in the morning to eat breakfast always had a special feeling.

Yanjing's breakfast: soybean juice, fried liver, coke rings, deep-fried dough sticks... According to the famous old Yanjing Internet celebrities on the Internet, when you get up in the morning, you get a bowl of sticky fried liver, drink it in circles, and then put the coke rings Dip it in, two words - authentic!That's Louise's sister, interesting enough!
Shen Ge asked for a bowl of soy milk and two steamed buns for breakfast.

Although the old BJ internet celebrity always said that food is not expensive for wage consumption, but he thinks it is still a little expensive.

The hotel he was staying in was not far from Master Du Jinfang's residence, and because Master had specifically told him not to let him bring breakfast, Shen Ge walked towards Master's house after eating.

When he was walking on the road, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings and the busy traffic on the bustling streets, he suddenly felt a little emotional. In the past, Master Mei Lanfang was like this, going out from home to perform in theaters every day. In life, he also An ordinary person, but in the world of opera and traditional culture, he is a dazzling star that will never fade away.

Stepping on this road, Shen Ge can clearly see the land under his feet, stretching forward, but he has a blurred vision of the future, and has no idea where he will go.

As Tang Yu once told him, during the final exams of last semester, because he didn't study hard and knew nothing, he was always worried that his grades would fail, but he knew deep down that there would be I found a way to copy someone else's answer, although I will still be worried about it next time...

Before they were in their twenties, most people basically followed a well-planned route. Only after graduating from university did they choose more paths, and there was a lot of variability. People who were originally full of confidence will be confused.

However, Shen Ge was very clear about his plan, but he didn't know what the result would be if he went on.

When he arrived at Master Du Jinfang's home, he expressed his doubts to his master. Master Du Jinfang didn't say anything else, but smiled slightly and said to him, "But do good deeds, don't ask about your future."

Shen Ge nodded with a vague understanding.

During the whole morning, Master Du Jinfang was still imparting the knowledge of Shen Ge Peking Opera and Mei School, but this time the two of them did not stay at home, but chose a park.The air here is fresh, refreshing and pleasant, and the breeze is blowing, which makes people feel very happy, and learning things is not so boring.

It seems that with Chen Ge's company, Master Du Jinfang is also in a good mood. Occasionally, an old theater fan passing by recognizes her, and she also greets people with a smile. She has a very similar temperament to Mei Zu, and she has always been kind to others.

After the lecture was over, Master Du Jinfang suddenly said to Shen Ge: "Do you have any plans to participate in the Youth Competition?"
