Chapter 151 Long time no see
There are a lot of people at the Qingjing competition, even if it is because of the long performance, let alone a whole morning, even if it is a whole day, there may not be a few performances. After all, apart from the time for each actor to perform, there is still During the scoring process by the judges, and some situations that may occur in the middle, the progress of the competition is not fast, and it can even be said to be a bit slow.

Among Shen Ge, Dou Xiaoxuan, Fu Jia, and Li Ying, only Senior Sister Dou Xiaoxuan performed in the fifth round before the exam, and even if it was the fifth round, according to her estimation, she should have to wait until after lunch It's her turn until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the morning, Dou Xiaoxuan and Fu Jia just brought Shen Ge and Li Ying here to get acquainted with each other. At the same time, they stopped by to see if they could meet some acquaintances. The old friends were very busy and did not meet often. If you have the opportunity to participate in the Youth Competition in Beijing, maybe you can meet each other again.

The other young actors at the scene, like them, also came here to meet other people and familiarize themselves with the environment. Shen Ge looked up and saw the blank and curious expressions on the faces of many young actors. The name of the competition It's called the Qingjing Competition. Although there are senior Peking opera actors like Senior Sister Dou Xiaoxuan and Senior Sister Fu Jia among the contestants, young actors are still the main force.

The preliminary rounds of the previous Qingjing competitions used to watch the video discs of the contestants to screen the contestants and directly enter the semi-finals. The reason for this is that there are so many contestants, and the performances will be like today, and the progress will be very fast. Second, due to many conditions, the elimination selection of the preliminary round will be made by watching the video.

It's just that this method also has some obvious disadvantages, so when it was decided to re-host the Youth Beijing Competition this year, the official program team did not use this simple method, but conducted the preliminary competition through live viewing one by one.

The program group has been prepared for a long-term battle from the very beginning, and the lineup of young actors across the country is very large. The Qingjing Competition has officially designated Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai as three competition areas, and the competition schedule in each place is simultaneous. Doing it, saves a lot of time.

And when the competition progressed to the end, there were fewer contestants, so there was no need for three competition areas, and the finals would be held directly in the capital.

Shen Ge and Li Ying live in Chuzhou, which is relatively far from Jincheng and Shanghai. In addition, Master Du Jinfang and the world to participate in the competition are both in Yanjing, so there is more or less a support here. .

What's more, even Shen Ge himself was a little afraid of the coquettish manipulations made in the Qingjing competitions in the previous sessions. There is a master named Du Jinfang in the capital, he doesn't want the judges to know about himself, he just hopes that he won't be deliberately targeted at that time.

I have seen people like Wang Zixuan and Mr. Liu, to be honest, Shen Ge is not afraid, but disgusting people are really disgusting people.

"The people in the Jincheng and Shanghai competition areas also have masters!"

Li Ying said.

Senior Sister Dou Xiaoxuan nodded: "That's for sure. Some of my friends are from the Jincheng Peking Opera Theater and the Shanghai Peking Opera Theater. We will definitely meet in the final.”

"There used to be a saying in our trip to Liyuan," Senior Sister Fu Jia said suddenly, "Study art in Beijing, become popular in Jincheng, and earn a lot of money in Shanghai!

Although this sentence may not be so absolute, the popular character can be famous everywhere, but most of the facts are like this.

Beijing, Jincheng, and Shanghai, the three cities have gathered many highly talented opera actors. Now that these three cities are chosen as the competition area, the officials still have certain considerations. People who don’t have two brushes really dare not come. Participate in the competition! "

After hearing her words, Shen Ge nodded slightly. Sister Fu Jia was right. Most of the famous Peking opera actors in the opera world are basically from the National Peking Opera Theater, Yanjing Peking Theater, Jincheng Peking Opera Theater and others. People in the Shanghai Peking Opera Theater.

Even if an outstanding young actor is not an actor in these four Peking Opera theaters, he will choose to be transferred to these four Peking opera theaters when his fame reaches a certain level, just as the saying goes in Liyuan Xing, Whether it is learning art, developing, or making money, there is more room for improvement here than in other places.

When the four major Anhui troupes came to Beijing, many famous Peking opera masters were born in the capital, and the capital has also become the cultural center of opera and folk art. What is the purpose of opera actors coming to Beijing? Only by studying in a class can we have an authentic inheritance.

Yanjing has the most famous masters and famous subjects, so there is a saying about studying art in Beijing.

The meaning of "Singing Red in Jincheng" does not just mean that Peking opera actors will go to Jincheng to sing themselves after they have learned their skills. Could it be said that they can't be popular in Beijing?

of course not!

The main reason is that audiences and theater fans in Jincheng love to watch operas very much, and they still really understand operas, and some fanciers are even as good as some famous artists.

This also caused the audience in Jincheng to be tricky!

Audiences in other places may be more tolerant, but in the eyes of the audience in Jincheng, if there is a small mistake, it will definitely not escape the eyes of the audience under the stage.

It is rumored that Boss Ma Lianliang, the head of the Four Susheng, once sang an opera in Jincheng. He made a small mistake at that time. hooting.

From this we can see the strictness of Jincheng opera fans.

Therefore, Jincheng has also become a touchstone for Peking Opera actors. As long as a Peking Opera actor can be recognized by audience fans in Jincheng, it proves that this Peking Opera actor has really mastered his kung fu. There will be no more major problems.

This is the real meaning of Jincheng singing red.

Why do you say "Shanghai City earns a lot of money"? !
This is very easy to understand, because from the past to the present, Shanghai has been a very prosperous metropolis, and people's ideas are also somewhat different from those of Beijing and Tianjin. Actors in Shanghai can get several times their salary in Shanghai.

"The prosperity of Beiping has plummeted, and the number of halls and conferences has decreased. Famous actors can only make money by going out to the docks... Famous actors can eat for half a year if they go to Jincheng once, and can eat for a year if they go to Shanghai once!" This is Ding Bingsui in " A sentence written in "Ju Tan Jiu Wen Lu".

At the same time, it was also in Shanghai that had an impact on Master Mei Lanfang. Unlike in Jincheng, Jincheng opera fans who are strict in requirements and tricky in watching operas don't like new plays very much. In contrast, everything is based on the old; while Master Mei Lanfang, who is popular in Shanghai, is vigorously developing new plays, thus laying the foundation for establishing a school.

Therefore, no matter how the audience or Peking Opera actors in these three places are, their influence in the Peking Opera world is extraordinary. This is why many Peking Opera actors go to these three places after becoming famous.

Shen Ge himself entered the opera world for the first time, not to mention Peking opera actors from Jincheng and Shanghai, even some famous Peking opera actors in Beijing can't be recognized clearly.

Along the way, he and Li Ying followed Dou Xiaoxuan and Fu Jia, two senior sisters. Many Peking opera actors who knew them kept coming up to say hello. At the same time, some people who regarded them as their idols came to ask for a group photo or an autograph. What.

It wasn't too troublesome. Dou Xiaoxuan and Fu Jia followed them and signed a group photo.

Seeing this scene, Li Ying was very envious, and she couldn't help but subconsciously said, "I don't know when I will have so many fans and fans like Senior Sister Dou and Senior Sister Fu."

"Hahaha," Fu Jia said with a smile, "It's not easy, as long as you get a good ranking in the Qingjing competition, you will naturally be liked by many people!"

"Just take a good ranking..."

After hearing her words, the corners of Shen Ge's mouth twitched slightly, "You said it lightly, but the question is, how simple is it?"

"It's not easy at all."

Li Ying said very seriously.

Fu Jia didn't say anything, just said: "Come on!"

At this time, a girl suddenly walked towards them. The girl looked about the same age as Senior Sister Fu Jia.

Fu Jia obviously knew her, and when she saw her approaching, she smiled and said, "A while ago I asked you if you would come to participate in the Qingjing Competition, but you couldn't tell me, you are here again today, you really can bear it." what!"

"Mainly because I didn't think you would believe it either."

The visitor greeted Dou Xiaoxuan and Fu Jia, then looked suspiciously at Shen Ge and Li Ying beside him, and asked, "Who are these two?"

It seems that there are still relatively few people who know themselves.

Shen Ge thought to himself.

Of course, some people recognized him at the competition today. After all, he performed at the People’s Theater with the members of the Kunqu Opera Research Institute, and with the help of Master Du Jinfang as his teacher, he still has a little bit of fame in the Beijing opera circle. of.

It's just that this popularity is not enough in front of the young Peking opera actors all over the country. They are just a nobody.

"I told you about him."

Fu Jia said directly.

The girl in front of her was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "It's the little junior you mentioned, right?"

"Yes."

Fu Jia nodded.

She sized Shen Ge up, "He's pretty handsome, and he has a very good temperament. He's a good candidate for a role. But why do I always feel like I've seen him somewhere..."

"We both just came back and saw him, where did you go to see him?" Dou Xiaoxuan said.

"I don't know, I can't remember for a while!"

The girl shook her head.

Senior Sister Fu Jia said: "I think you feel like you've met him when you see a handsome guy, and now you're targeting my little junior brother again."

"No way!"

The other party hurriedly said: "I really remember seeing him somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while."

Shen Ge guessed that she should have seen the video of her performance on the Internet, but after such a long time, she couldn't remember clearly.But he didn't intend to speak up, there was absolutely no need for that, and if Dou Xiaoxuan and Fu Jia knew about it, they would definitely ask him about the past.

After making a few jokes, Senior Sister Dou Xiaoxuan stopped teasing her and introduced each other. Shen Ge learned that the girl in front of her was Kong Hongyu, a Beijing opera actress of the Cheng school.

Compared with the Mei School, the Peking Opera actors of the Cheng School are relatively few. Apart from seeing the full version of "Lock Lin Bag" with Bai Huawei in the capital, she is the first opera actor Shen Ge met. Two Peking opera actors of the Cheng school.

Although Kong Hongyu's performance is a little higher, but she still needs to come to her performance the day after tomorrow, so today I just came to the venue for a first look.

And she seemed to be very interested in Shen Ge. When the three of them were hanging out here, they chatted with Shen Ge from time to time. Shen Ge could only respond politely. There are not many friends in the opera world, so we should make more friends.

Since today is the preliminary competition, there are many inexperienced young actors participating in the competition, and a lot of things have happened. Apart from the situation that they sing wrong songs and get low scores due to nervousness during the competition, there are also some Because of the low scores, the young actors openly questioned the shady scenes of the competition, which made many jokes.

Everyone present can see how well that person sang, and the judges gave her a low score. It is not unfair; besides, it is only the preliminary round, and those who have the ability to shady the judges should not be unable to pass the preliminary round. Should be saved for later.

What's more, it's just a preliminary round, so it's necessary to be shady.

In the afternoon, the four of Shen Ge stayed in the theater and watched the live broadcast on the big central screen. Speaking of which, most of the contestants were relatively average in strength, and Shen Ge compared them in his mind. , I feel that I am still good now.

Of course, I also saw a few outstanding players who were eye-catching. According to Senior Sister Dou Xiaoxuan and Senior Sister Fu Jia, these people are all disciples of several famous masters in the capital. It is normal to have this kind of strength. If they meet each other, they will be more formidable opponents of Shen Ge and Li Ying.

Shen Ge nodded, remembering the names of these people.

Soon it was Senior Sister Dou Xiaoxuan's turn, and she was going to sing "Si Lang Visits His Mother". She had performed this play for countless times, so she was very familiar with it. Coupled with her own skills, after the preliminary round, she would be very familiar with it. It's as simple and easy as doing addition and subtraction within ten.

After the next contestant appeared, her score came out, 9.98 points, which is currently the highest score in the audience. It is estimated that the lack of full score is the room for improvement left by the judges, or it is just a symbolic space. When I was in school, no matter how good the composition was, I never got full marks. This should be the reason.

After Senior Sister Dou Xiaoxuan's performance was over, Shen Ge and the others stayed here for a while after learning the result, and were about to leave, but they just stood up and didn't take a few steps, but found an acquaintance walking towards them.

Li Ying was surprised, isn't this Mr. Liu? !
Shen Ge smiled and said, "Long time no see!"
