Chapter 136
Chuzhou City, Yunfeng Theater.

As the owner of this theater, Ye Yunfeng was sitting with Mr. Liu at the moment, and both of them put down a cup of steaming tea in front of them. He pushed forward and said, "Mr. Liu, please use it!"

Mr. Liu didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, then took the teacup and took a shallow sip.

"How about this tea?"

Ye Yunfeng asked.

If other people in the theater saw his respectful attitude towards Mr. Liu, their jaws would probably drop in shock, because no one in the theater had ever seen Ye Yunfeng treat a person like this.

"Not bad!"

Mr. Liu was still holding a folding fan in his hand. Hearing Ye Yunfeng ask him this question, he nodded and replied, "This tea should cost tens of thousands of yuan per cake. Leader Ye is interested."

"Mr. Liu, what are you talking about?" Ye Yunfeng hurriedly said: "You are a distinguished guest of our theater, and it is right to treat you with this high-quality tea. You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Liu!"

Hearing this, Young Master Liu smiled and didn't say anything further.

Seeing that he hadn't moved, Ye Yunfeng looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously said to him: "Young Master Liu, the matter of Tianyuan Theater..."

"rest assured!"

Hearing his words, Mr. Liu smiled indifferently, patted the table with the folding fan in his hand, and said: "It's just a small Tianyuan Theater, don't pay attention to it at all, Shen Ge and Li Ying count What, with a little trick, I really think of myself as a role!"

"That's right!"

Ye Yunfeng hastily praised: "These people are not of the same order of magnitude in front of you and the Liu family. They are like the difference between an ant and a big tree. If you move your fingers a little, they will all be disabled..."

But who would have thought that when Mr. Liu heard his words, his face did not show the comfort of being praised. Instead, he frowned and said to him: "I ran out secretly this time, don't mention Liu's family. Besides, even without the support of the Liu family, just mentioning my name is enough to scare people in a small city of Chuzhou."

"I know, I know."

Ye Yunfeng came back to his senses, and immediately added: "Young Master Liu is right, if you tell those people your name, it will be enough to scare them to the ground and run away, let alone, with your strength, You can walk sideways in the capital!"

"OK OK."

Mr. Liu was very pleased with his flattery, he waved his hand at this moment, fanned the wind with a folding fan, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about Tianyuan Theater, I, Mr. Liu, will not be with you You eat and drink for free here, and the two actors really take themselves seriously by using some commercial marketing methods, so I will go over and solve them for you at night!"

"Thank you Mr. Liu, thank you Mr. Liu!"

Ye Yunfeng said hurriedly.

……

At the same time, Shen Ge has no class now, so he stays in the Tianyuan Theater to train with Li Ying.

"There are not many Peking Opera repertoires left in the opera industry, and only those few can be performed in the end, and the Qingjing Competition is a national competition. At that time, outstanding Peking Opera actors from various cities and provinces will participate, so the program Not only will it be repeated, but the repetition rate will be extremely high, especially for classic pieces such as "Shiro Visits His Mother" and "The Drunken Concubine", maybe eight or nine out of ten contestants will perform the same Peking Opera."

"Therefore, under such circumstances, the requirements for Peking Opera actors will be very high. Everyone is performing the same play. In contrast, it is clear to the audience and judges who performed well or not! "

Hearing what Shen Ge said, Li Ying nodded, "Yes, since you dare to participate in the Qingjing Competition, everyone must have great confidence in themselves, and those with poor strength can only be reduced to make up for it. If you continue to sieve, it will become more and more difficult to fight!"

Shen Ge smiled. Although the Qingjing Tournament has been held for several times, and the gold content gradually decreases later, his influence still cannot be ignored. Some of the unknown players may also have good strength. A few years later, the Youth Beijing Tournament is now being restarted. During this period of time, many Peking Opera masters must have grown up. Today is different from the past. When the game comes, you must be the first to be eliminated.

"Are you from the Tsing Yi group or the old student group?!"

Li Ying knew that Chen Ge was not only a Tsing Yi from the Mei School, but also an old student from the School of Speech, so she couldn't help but ask him curiously at this moment: "Or, are you two teams participating in the competition together..."

"Tsing Yi Team!"

Shen Ge said to him.

Since the master has brought this matter to him on the initiative, he must have the intention to let him participate, so he will naturally not disappoint the master's expectations, and as the authentic heir of the Mei school, if he does not go to the Qingyi group , but if he went to the senior group to compete, what would others think of him.

As for what Li Ying said, if the Tsing Yi and Lao Sheng teams compete together, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but after much deliberation, he finally dismissed the idea.

One is that, from the beginning of the Qingjing Competition to the present, it seems that there has never been a precedent for one person to participate in the competition across two industries, and he does not know whether the organizer will agree to his request; In comparison, his speech style is still very immature now. If he finally wins the award, it will be fine, but if he doesn't win the award, it will be a waste of time.

There is also a third reason, what Shen Ge is thinking in his heart is that before meeting Teacher Yan Xingpeng next time, he does not intend to show people his style of speech in a particularly high-profile way, only when his style of speech is similar At that time, coupled with the plan he planned, at that time, he will officially tell everyone that he is not only the Tsing Yi of the Mei School, but also an old student of the School of Words, who has learned from Yan Xingpeng.

"Then we are a team!"

Li Ying said.

Shen Ge said with a smile: "Why are you still so happy after learning that we are in the same group? You are not afraid to meet me when the time comes, and I will destroy you with my hands and eliminate you directly."

"Hahaha!"

Li Ying waved her hand nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I am a few catties, I know in my heart, if someone else eliminated me, I might not be convinced, but if it is you, I have nothing to say Say!"

"Don't say that," Shen Ge said: "Why do you feel like giving up on yourself? The Qingjing competition hasn't even started yet, so if you say such frustrating words, even if you meet me, you have to fight with all your might. , what if I get eliminated, right..."

"Then I guess I'm going to wake up laughing from my dream!"

Li Ying said.

Shen Ge blinked: "Or, let's win an award together!"

"If there is such a possibility, then I guess it's not the two of us who woke up laughing, but my master." Li Ying looked at Master Chen who was resting on a rattan chair not far away, and said in a low voice: "A small theater appeared. We have won two prize-winning actors in the Qingjing Competition, so we have to make fun of him. If the publicity is made, then all the theater fans and audiences in Chuzhou City will come to us to listen to the show. Not only will the money come in handy, but also Yunfeng will be mad at him to death. Ye Yunfeng, the villain of the theater!"

"indeed."

Shen Ge nodded.

Li Ying suddenly said again: "However, it's strange to say that Ye Yunfeng hasn't come back in the past few days since he and that Liu thing came that day. This is not like his style. He won't think of a way Let’s do something bad.”

"I don't know!" Shen Ge shook his head, "However, according to what you described, with his character, he probably won't let it go easily."

Speaking of this, he thought of the situation when he met Wang Zixuan when he participated in "The Beautiful Youth of the Country", and he couldn't help sighing: "Sometimes, even if you eat fast and chant Buddha, don't step on ants when you go out, no matter how well you treat people Okay, but it will still offend people. On the contrary, sometimes being a bit more vicious will not easily attract the hatred of others..."

"In the final analysis, the reason is that I am not strong enough, because the reason why many villains are afraid of vicious people is not because of how fierce or hateful they are, but because of their own strength or the influence of the forces behind them. Powerful, giving them vicious confidence, under such circumstances, others will naturally be afraid, and at the same time link the villain with strength!"

"You're right!"

Li Ying nodded, and told Shen Ge one thing: "When I was young, when I was running around with my master, I met someone who broke the scene in one place. At that time, there was a bald uncle with a pretty face in the theater troupe. Strong, just stood up and shouted loudly, scaring away the group of people who came to make trouble!"

"They probably think that the bald man with the painted face is tall and tall, and he frowns fiercely. He doesn't look like an opera actor at all, but more like a big brother in the society. Hahaha... But in fact, the uncle with the painted face usually He has a very good personality!"

"This is momentum."

Shen Ge said.

After he finished saying this, he found that Li Ying was looking up at him at the moment, and couldn't help being a little puzzled: "What are you doing, is there something on my face?"

"No," Li Ying shook her head, "I'll see if you have that kind of aura. If Ye Yunfeng and the others come again next time, you will scare them away viciously."

Hearing this, Chen Ge smiled helplessly. Although he is a little taller, his body is not very fat, and he is even a little thin. It feels like they all have a gentle and elegant bookish atmosphere, where can I learn that kind of fierce and domineering aura.

So when Li Ying observed him quickly, she shook her head: "No, that kind of aura doesn't suit you!"

"Let me just say, I'm a female singer, I don't have the figure of a painted face actor."

Shen Ge laughed.

The female roles are originally played by female roles, so the figure is naturally slim and graceful, such as Master Mei Lanfang, Master Shang Xiaoyun...

what?
You said Cheng Zu.

Cheng Zu said that the pork knuckle is really delicious!
The painted face actors, that is, the pure behavior in Sheng Dan Jing Mo Chou, are divided into copper hammer painted face and shelf painted face, four artistic methods in opera performances, "singing, reading and fighting", and the master worker of copper hammer painted face "singing" and "nian", while the airy face is "doing" and "fighting". Although there is a difference between the two, the roles they play are strong and brave characters, such as Zhang Fei, Li Kui, and Jiao Meng.

Therefore, the requirements for actors in this industry are to be tall and burly, and most of the characters are strong and reckless. Roof tiles can be seen from this.

In addition, most of the actors with painted faces basically choose to shave their heads bald for the convenience of hooking their faces, and they often play characters with strong temperaments. Feel.

Most of the dan role actors are like Shen Ge.

Of course, this mainly refers to actors in different professions, what is the external feeling, not the true temperament of actors in private. judgment.

It can't be said that the actor who often plays the bad-faced Cao Cao is really a treacherous person himself.

"As the saying goes, a thousand lives are ten thousand days, but a clean one is hard to find!"

Li Ying said to Shen Ge: "There has never been an actor who sang face in our theater."

"After all, today is different from the past. There are fewer people listening to operas, and even fewer people singing operas, especially the actors who sing operas."

Shen Ge said.

Compared with Sheng Xing and Dan Xing, the job of painted face has more requirements. It not only requires extremely solid basic skills, but also pays great attention to hand, eye and body skills, not to mention that in order to express the figure and character of the characters, actors must Painted heavily on the face, put on baggy costumes, and hair and beard.

Wearing heavy clothes on the body, but also doing various movements, and at the same time, the voice in the mouth cannot be stopped. After a play, I am often tired and sweat profusely.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer actors in the net.

However, in this youth competition in Beijing, you will definitely meet good actors with colorful faces.

"Which Liu thing came with Ye Yunfeng that day, if it is an opera actor, it must also be a dan role."

Li Ying said suddenly.

Shen Ge nodded: "It looks like it."

"However, it's too feminine!"

Li Ying pouted and said.

At this time, it was approaching the start of the performance in the evening, and the audience came in one after another to find a good place to sit down, waiting for the start of the performance.

With the passage of a few days, the number of people who came to listen to the play has not decreased, and all the seats were filled up soon, and the audience was enthusiastic. Most of the people who came from the backstage were familiar faces, because the new audience The more times you come, the more you will naturally become familiar faces.

As for why there are so many familiar faces, it’s because there are more people who come to the opera every day, and the new audience who come here just because of the name don’t know how to buy tickets. .

After Ye Yunfeng saw this lively scene, he was extremely angry. Most of the audience were regular customers of his Yunfeng Theater, but now they came here to listen to the play, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists secretly.

"Yunfeng Theater, Shen Ge, Li Ying..."
