Chapter 153: Natural Plum Bone
"This Chen Yu is from the Shanghai Peking Opera Theater."

Shen Ge looked at the No. 1 contestant Chen Yu's selection unit on the data sheet, and said to himself, maybe it was because it was inconvenient for others to go back in Yanjing, so he chose to participate in the Qingjing competition in Yanjing's competition area preliminaries.

This Chen Yu's face is actually a bit fat. Although the Peking Opera actor's face will look much smaller after posting the photo, he still looks a little fat even after posting the photo.

If he played the role of Concubine Yang, it might be better, because Concubine Yang has a phoenix crown on her head and a python robe and jade belt, which will cover her face and figure very well, but if she plays Wang Baochuan, the audience will lack such a loss Lost sense of substitution.

After all, Wang Baochuan, who has been guarding the cold kiln for eighteen years and lives so hard that he eats wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger, should not eat so much.

Of course, this is just a joke. Wasn’t Cheng Zu like this back then? The actors’ bodies and looks are all born, and they are not singing. Whether they sing well or not depends entirely on the skills of the opera actors, and there is nothing wrong with their appearance. The problem is, listen to the play first and then watch the play, the appearance is just a little bit of extra points.

This section of "Wujiapo" by Chen Yu and his old partner is a repertoire often performed by Peking opera actors in the opera world. If you just ask someone from the competition scene to ask, there is probably no one who can sing this section; moreover What's more, in Shen Ge and his team's match, in addition to No. [-] Chen Yu, No. [-] and No. [-] contestants will also perform Wujiapo.

In a game, the three collided with the show.

The proficiency between each other is enough. As for the other scoring points, it depends on how well the actors perform on the spot and how the partners cooperate. It can only be a pity if they are nervous because they are participating in the competition for the first time.

Because it was the preliminary round, Shen Ge was aiming at the final and ranking. Although he cared about the preliminary round in his heart, he didn't pay too much attention to it. If he put all his thoughts on the preliminary round, then how much would he do in the future competitions? Tired.

According to the thoughts of the general contestants, the "Farewell My Concubine" sword dance that Shen Ge will perform in the preliminary competition today is discounted, and most people will not start performing in the preliminary competition.

why?

Because it is difficult!

Compared with other plays, the sword dancing part in "Persuading the King to Drink and Listen to Yu Song" in "Farewell My Concubine" is relatively difficult. Compared with the two plays "Slope" and "Silang Visits His Mother", "Farewell My Concubine" was performed less frequently.

Basically all the actors know that the difficulty of the preliminary competition is not high, and its function is only to screen out most of the poor Peking opera actors. Therefore, when they choose the scripts to perform in the preliminary competition, they will choose some Peking opera actors to use as a foundation. This kind of play is not very difficult, it's just a test of kung fu. If you use a difficult play to perform, it feels like hitting mosquitoes with a cannon.

Maybe this statement is a bit exaggerated, but the truth is still the same.

Of course, if a Peking Opera actor is strong enough to specialize in one opera, he will naturally be able to make it all the way to the finals and win the championship with just one play...

But this kind of situation will basically not happen, because no Beijing opera actor will only specialize in one opera, and if a drama is performed too much in front of the judges, the judges will be tired of aesthetics. The preliminary and semi-finals are fine. Some of them may pass through with their Beijing opera skills, but in the finals, there were all gods fighting, and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea each showed their magical powers. If it was still the same play, they would definitely not win any good rankings!

Shen Ge didn't feel much about it. For him, the Qingjing Tournament was not only a competition for him to get a ranking and a reward to be famous, but the most important thing was to train him, so he didn't care about singing "Overlord" by himself. "Farewell My Concubine" will be unfavorable to him in the future competitions, all he cares about is his feet, step by step, maybe he will walk slowly and win the championship by accident.

His purpose is just to practice his acting and singing, and to see what impact and progress it will have on himself when he is on the same stage with those big guys!

Soon No.1 Chen Yu’s performance was over. On the stage, he briefly chatted with the host about the reason why he chose this play, and then the host asked the judges and teachers to score. "Score, 9.81 points!
Generally speaking, this section of "Wujiapo" he sang was quite satisfactory, there was nothing wrong with it, and at the same time, there was nothing that stood out. It can be seen that he played very steadily and did not feel nervous. At one point, he is already ahead of most young Peking opera actors.

Next is the No.2 contestant Guan Rou. She looks about the same age as Senior Sister Fu Jia. The play she is going to sing is "The Drunken Concubine", some of which are as difficult as "Farewell My Concubine". It seems that like Shen Ge, they have confidence in their own strength and don't care about Tian Ji's horse racing tactics.

As soon as that voice came out, Shen Ge knew her strength. He didn't expect that there was a hidden master in his match today. He looked young, but his strength was very impressive!

"This is……"

When Senior Sister Fu Jia heard it, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "The successor of the Zhang School, Guan Rou, has never been heard of before."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the information sheet on the side and saw that Guan Rou's selection unit was Jincheng Peking Opera Theater. After thinking about it carefully, she still didn't think of who she was.

"I also know the people in Jincheng Peking Opera Theater, but I have never heard of Guan Rou, the descendant of the No. [-] Zhang School."

Senior Sister Fu Jia shook her head slightly.

Shen Ge said with a smile: "Maybe it's someone from the folk theater, you don't know, it's normal, except for the Peking opera actors in the Peking Opera theater, the folk theater troupes are also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, although the resources and platforms may not be as good as those in Beijing. There are Peking Opera actors in the theater, but their talent and strength are not bad at all!"

"I suspect you are praising yourself and Li Ying."

Senior Sister Fu Jia stared at Shen Ge and said.

Shen Ge suddenly felt dumbfounded. He really didn't think of this when he said this sentence. Now that I think about it, it seems to be a bit of a compliment to myself, "Haha, I didn't think so much, it's you who think so of."

Guan Rou on the stage continued to perform. After listening to it for a while, Shen Ge and Fu Jia both nodded. Senior Sister Fu Jia said: "The piece of "The Drunken Concubine" she sang is really good. The taste is quite authentic, presumably he should be an actor with an orthodox teacher, but I don’t know who it is..."

The Zhang School Tsing Yi created by Master Zhang Junqiu is the most widely spread and most influential school of modern Danjia after Mei Shang Cheng Xun. The number of Peking Opera actors who learn this school is no less than the four schools of Mei Shang Cheng Xun .

Master Zhang Junqiu first worshiped the "Tongtian Jiaozhu" Wang Yaoqing as his teacher, and then learned from four masters, Mei Lanfang, Shang Xiaoyun, Cheng Yanqiu and Xun Huisheng. The "tenderness" of Zhang School, the "firmness" of master Shang Xiaoyun, and the "softness" of master Xun Huisheng, taking the best of the four schools, form the unique characteristics of vigorous, gentle, pretty and fresh!

After a section of "The Drunken Concubine" ended, Zhang Pai's Tsing Yi contestant Guan Rou won unanimous praise from the judges. The final score was 9.92 points, far surpassing the No. [-] contestant Chen Yu!

After Guan Rou's performance was over, it was Shen Ge's turn to appear.

Senior Sister Fu Jia and Li Ying waved to him at the same time, encouraging him, "Come on!"

Shen Ge nodded, ready to go on stage.

Speaking of which, the play "Farewell My Concubine" is still Master Mei Lanfang's private play.

What is a private play?

That is to say, this play was specially created for Master Mei Lanfang.

When this play was created, the magnificent master Mei Lanfang was in full swing, and it is conceivable how wonderful this play was adapted from "The Struggle between Chu and Han".

Master Mei Lanfang put a lot of effort into this play, because at that time, the costumes and costumes of the characters on the stage were basically combed with "big hair" and wearing a series of long clothes with "pei" and "pleats". The characters are basically the same. If you don't know opera, you can basically tell who the Peking opera actors are playing.

The appearance of Yu Ji, the master of Mei Lanfang, breaks the traditional image of women with vague faces. Wearing ancient clothes, combing her hair in ancient costumes, and the Yu Ji crown specially made for Yu Ji, all show that Master Mei Lanfang has paid for her. hard work.

Since the play "Farewell My Concubine" was once a private play specially created for Master Mei Lanfang, and Shen Ge inherited the charm of Master Mei Lanfang, and also worshiped Master Du Jinfang as his teacher, in this kind of With the blessing of the conditions, Shen Ge started to learn "Farewell My Concubine", naturally it can be regarded as like a fish in water, with ease.

After preparing for a while, Shen Ge appeared.

This appearance immediately surprised everyone.

I saw the Yu concubine crown on the head, wearing a yellow costume embroidered with phoenix flowers, a horse-faced skirt on the lower body, and a fish scale armor with red silk tassels, holding a mandarin duck sword, and slowly walked onto the stage amidst the sound of the scene. .

"This is too beautiful!"

Li Ying had never seen Shen Ge dressed as Concubine Yu before. When she saw Shen Ge appearing in Concubine Yu's attire at this moment, she couldn't help but exclaimed, praising Shen Ge's appearance again and again, it was really too beautiful up!

"Junior brother Yu Ji doesn't look like Master, but really looks like Mei Zu!"

There was also surprise in Fu Jia's eyes, and he said to himself.

During this period of time, she did not know how many times she had listened to Shen Ge sing the excerpts of "Farewell My Concubine". Many of them were taught by her junior brother, and the new junior brother that the master gave her was gifted. It's really against the sky, many places are basically easy to understand, as if he was born with an opera material, and whether it is singing or figure, he has the demeanor of Mei Zu in the past. The master has nothing to hide from her and his senior sister Dou Xiaoxuan Said it several times.

Of course, the two of them didn't have any jealousy, because they both knew exactly what Shen Ge's specific strength was, as if he was really born for the Mei faction. Apprentice, I guess my heart is already happy!

Fu Jia was right in her mind. At this moment, Master Du Jinfang was watching the live broadcast of the Qingjing Competition in front of the TV. She had always paid close attention to the Qingjing Competition, because these young Peking opera actors participating in the competition were the future of the opera world , she was very concerned; not to mention that her little apprentice was going to be on the field today, so she stayed in front of the TV all morning, watching the live broadcast on TV calmly.

The moment Yu Ji played by Shen Ge appeared, Master Du Jinfang, who was staring at the TV screen, suddenly lost his eyes. When he looked at the TV screen again, he seemed to see his master.

"You have to go out and show a meridian face at the 'Jiulongkou', which shows that Concubine Yu is not only capable of writing but also martial arts. Otherwise, how can she fight with the army?"

"When reading 'Ming Mie Toad Light, in the golden wind, the drum horn is desolate', there must be a change in tone. The first sentence "Ming Mie Chan Light" should be accentuated, exaggerating the atmosphere and reading it more high-spirited and full. And the second sentence "Drum Horn is desolate" It expresses the war-weariness of Concubine Yu and the general public, they hope for peace, but do not want to fight, so the mood is low, and the tone changes accordingly."

"Concubine Yu's affection for Bawang is very deep. 'Ten years of loving and loving each other' shows that the two share weal and woe..."

Master Du Jinfang suddenly heard the teacher's earnest teachings to her when she was studying the play "Farewell My Concubine". Now she is watching the TV calmly, and two drops of tears are silently falling from the corners of her eyes down.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the TV screen again, and there was still Shen Ge's figure inside.

Seeing Shen Ge standing on the stage wearing a wishful crown, wearing fish scale armor, and holding a mandarin duck sword, Grandmaster Du Jinfang suddenly chuckled and said to himself: "Born with plum bones, born to belong to the Mei family!"

At the same time, in the live broadcast rooms of the major network platforms, the Youth Beijing Competition also flooded with many viewers at this moment. Except for some netizens who rushed to watch the show and curious netizens who didn't know why, the other big Some of them were aimed at Shen Ge.

Because Shen Ge revealed on the Douyin platform that he was going to participate in the Qingjing Competition some time ago, one is that he needs to gain prestige through this, and the second reason is that he hopes more people will pay attention to this stage The program, as the Qingjing Tournament officials thought, could attract one person. After all, although he doesn't have many fans, it still has a little effect if he attracts people.

[I'm here for Shen Ge! 】

[Cheer Shen Ge! 】

[I purposely squatted down to boss Shen Ge, I finally waited for you, luckily I didn't give up! 】

[Yu Ji's appearance is so beautiful! 】

[Some time ago, I listened to "Legend of the White Snake" by Shen Ge, and I look forward to his "Farewell My Concubine"! 】

Shen Ge's introduction of this wave of traffic is still considerable. Whether it's Douyin, Kuaishou, or Beep, many netizens flooded into the live broadcast room of the Qingjing Competition at the same time.

It's just that the official focus of the Qingjing Tournament is still the ratings of the live TV broadcast, and it's just simple maintenance for the live broadcast. Seeing this scene, the staff were just surprised, but they didn't care much.
