Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 168
What?Grandpa Dean is gone!

Hearing Zhou Jinhong's words, Shen Yuelou's body was shaking, tears welled up in his eyes, and his heart was full of grief.

To him, Shen Changxin exists like a relative. Unexpectedly, the last time he saw him, it turned out to be a farewell.

"Dean Shen's heart has not been very good. This time he had a sudden myocardial infarction. When he was sent to the hospital, he was unconscious. The medical conditions of the county hospital are limited, and there is no time to transfer him. We tried our best to rescue him, but unfortunately, we couldn’t save him.”

While Zhou Jinhong was speaking, Shen Yuelou had already pushed open the door of the ward and came to Shen Changxin's bed.

The bed had been covered with a layer of white cloth, and beside the bed, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl crying softly.

The little girl was wearing a blue and white school uniform, her straight black hair was tied into braids, her skin was fair, her face was beautiful, her red eyes from crying and her trembling body were very distressing.

Her name is Shen Ruyi, and she was originally a child of the Qianshan Welfare Institute.

At the age of four, she was adopted by a young couple who were barren.

Later, the couple divorced and formed their own families, so they sent her unrelated child back.

According to the regulations of the orphanage, it is not good for a child who has been adopted to return to the orphanage. Seeing that the child was really pitiful, Shen Changxin directly recognized her as his granddaughter and brought her back to the Shen family to raise him.

"Brother Xiaoyou, grandpa..."

As soon as she saw Shen Yuelou, Shen Ruyi couldn't help but threw herself into Shen Yuelou's arms and burst into tears.

Hiding in Shen Yuelou's arms, Shen Ruyi's grievances, fears, and grief over the death of her relatives were all expressed at once.

"It's okay, Brother Xiaoyou is here."

Gently stroking Shen Ruyi's hair, Shen Yuelou caught a glimpse of Shen Changxin's remains under the white cloth from the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help the tears overflowing from his eyes.

After staying in Qianshan County for three days, after Shen Changxin's funeral was completed, Shen Yuelou suspended school for Shen Ruyi and took her back to Yanjing to take care of her.

After Shen Changxin left, Shen Ruyi lost her relatives in Qianshan.

With her current state, Shen Yuelou was really worried about keeping her in Wanzhou.

……

After returning to Yanjing and settling Shen Ruyi down, Shen Yuelou received another call from He Ling.

The preparations for the program "The Rise of Chinese Drama: Youth Season" have already begun, and it's time to release the second promotional song.

It's just that Shen Yuelou still needs to decide on the release order of "Rap Face", "Resentment" and "Clown Order".

"Let's release Rap Facebook first."

This song is more popular, and the lyrics and music are very innovative. It should attract many Peking Opera teenagers to sign up for the competition.

"Okay boss, I see."

……

Yuan Shaoting is a sophomore in the No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to Huaxia Academy of Opera.

In fact, according to Yuan Shaoting's original intention, he prefers modern dance and pop songs.

Especially songs with a bit of an old style.

Those popular songs of Shen Yuelou Boss Shen are very suitable for his taste.

That night, Yuan Shaoting was watching a beautiful modern dance on the Internet, when suddenly, the account of Shen Yuelou studio that he followed before released a new song.

Boss Shen released a new song?

Then I have to listen carefully.

I hope it's a song like "Chi Ling".

Yuan Shaoting has a colorful face, a generous figure, and a rough voice, but he just likes things that are tender and tender.

Huh? The cover of "Rap Face Makeup" is a big painted face. Could it be related to our pure deeds?
Look at the subtitles next to it. The lyrics are written by Shen Yuelou, the music is composed by Shen Yuelou, and the arrangement and production are all Shen Yuelou, but the singers are Lin Xiaolin and Xu Zhaolin.

It's a pity that Boss Shen doesn't sing.

Click on the video, only to hear the sound of gongs and drums, a beautiful young lady of seventeen or eighteen years old and an old man with white hair are shuttling on the Peking Opera stage.

Xu Zhaolin finished drawing his face and stood quietly on the stage.

"That day, my grandfather took me to watch a Beijing opera, and I saw a lot of painted faces on the stage.

Red, white, yellow, green, blue color oil face.

Singing and shouting, wow ah ah ah ah.

It seems that the thunder "twitter" really seems to be in my ears. "

Hearing that young lady's clear and lovely voice, Yuan Shaoting couldn't help but smile.

It’s a good image. If someone who is not used to Peking opera singing goes to listen to a play, it is indeed like listening to thunder.

"The blue-faced Zhao Erdun steals the imperial horse, and the red-faced Duke Guan fights Chang Sha.

Dian Wei with yellow face and Xu Chao with white face.

The black-faced Zhang Fei is called Chacha... ah..."

Listening to the singing, Yuan Shaoting had already been amused by the cute action of the young lady in the video, but suddenly, he was really amazed when he heard Xu Zhaolin's colorful singing from Boss Xu.

The Hualian singing voice has been integrated into pop songs, and it's so nice, it's so nice.

For the first time, Yuan Shaoting felt that the Hualian singing in Peking Opera could be so beautiful.

Continuing to read, I saw that young lady rapped to the old man again: "To tell you the truth, Peking opera facial makeup is really pretty.

But the singers all spoke in dialect, which I couldn't understand no matter how I listened. They sang slowly, babbling, and humming for a long time.

The band accompaniment is just gongs and drums, and there are three big pieces.

How can this keep up with the times and trends, and attract contemporary young people? "

Lin Xiaolin's libretto deeply aroused Yuan Shaoting's thinking.

As an art student studying Peking Opera, the status quo of Peking Opera he has seen and heard seems to be true. The lyrics here are really well written.

"The purple Heavenly King Tuo Pagoda, the green Devil Dou Yasha. The golden monkey king, the silver monster, and the gray elf laughing haha... ah... ah..."

Hearing Xu Zhaolin's colorful singing voice again, Yuan Shaoting was still very surprised.

"My grandpa was angry and said I was just messing around, what a beautiful and wonderful artistic Chinese treasure,
Even foreigners clapped and applauded, and kept praising.

It's not easy to sing at the end of Shengdanjing and practice hand, eye and body skills. You don't understand opera and talk nonsense, and the angry grandpa's beard turned straight on his face.

Grandpa, don't be angry, allow me to argue,
Even if you eat delicacies all the time, you will get bored. Art cannot be too far away from the times.

To innovate and develop,

Wow...

Let everyone, young and old, male and female, enjoy watching it,
National heritage is passed down from generation to generation. "

Hearing this, Yuan Shaoting couldn't help being overwhelmed.

Boss Shen's lyrics are so well written, pointing out the evils of the times, in every sentence, this is exactly the voice of our young generation.

Boss Shen really understands us very well.

Continuing to look at it, the last part of the screen, the last part of the colorful singing, turned out to be from the mouth of the little girl.

"A picture of bright mandarin duck tiles, a group of vivid living Bodhisattvas,

A stroke of outline, a little exaggeration.

Face after face, Meijiajia... ah... ah... ah. "

Let the young lady who didn't like to listen to opera sing the last paragraph, this is the meaning of inheritance.

It was so moving.

After exiting the video, Yuan Shaoting suddenly discovered that in just two or three hours, "Rap Face Makeup" had already reached more than 200 million views, and there were more than [-] comments below.

"The lyrics of this song are really good, and Mr. Shen's work really did not disappoint."

"Describing the status quo and inheritance of Peking Opera in the form of dialogue between young and old, this form is very novel."

"The little girl's rap is also a must, the rhythm is too good."

"When I heard this song, I actually had the urge to cry. Peking opera is such a beautiful thing. How come fewer and fewer people like it?"
