Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 232 Butterfly Lovers Premiere
It was agreed that Han Zaifen, Yu Zhenfei and Lin Yanqiu went back to their respective rooms, and Shen Yuelou also went out and called ten translators including Zhang Jing into the room to start translating the script and plot.

Not only the scripts of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Peony Pavilion" and "Hate of Life and Death", but also scripts of alternative plays such as "The Drunken Concubine" and "The Mulberry Garden Party" must be translated.

Fortunately, these tasks are divided among ten people, and the tasks are not too heavy.

After receiving the script, Zhang Jing and others went back separately, and Shen Yuelou also started a trip to visit relatives and friends.

My younger sister, Shen Ruyi, has been in Yingzhou for seven or eight months, and she hasn't even returned to Yanjing for the Chinese New Year. She promised to come to the capital to see her, and now, she has finally fulfilled her promise.

After arriving at Shen Ruyi's residence by car, Shen Yuelou finally met her younger sister Shen Ruyi.

"Brother Xiaoyou, you finally came to see Ruyi."

As soon as she saw Shen Yuelou, Shen Ruyi immediately smiled and surrounded her.

Not seeing each other for more than half a year, Shen Ruyi has grown a lot taller, her complexion is getting better and better, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

It's just that her clothing, makeup and hair are influenced by some Yingzhou culture.

Her hair was dyed creamy white, with a black bow tied on it, her clothes and makeup were also in Gothic style, and there was a black rabbit doll hanging in front of her.

These innocuous subcultures are not unacceptable to Shen Yuelou.

However, in his heart, he still hopes that Shen Ruyi can accept the influence of Chinese traditional culture more.

Seeing her brother staring at her clothes and hair color, Shen Ruyi immediately explained: "Brother Xiaoyou, I am a character in the cartoon of Lai Yingzhou in Cospu, and this hair color was specially dyed for this character. If it weren't for going to Comic Con today, I wouldn't normally wear these.

If you don't believe me, you can ask sister Xiaonan. "

Hearing Shen Ruyi's transformation, Pan Xiaonan stepped forward and reported to Shen Yuelou: "Miss Ruyi doesn't talk much, she usually studies very hard, and this time she changed into this outfit for the exhibition."

Shen Yuelou nodded, and said to Pan Xiaonan, "Xiaonan, you have worked hard for the past six months."

"It's not hard, these are what I should do."

After chatting for a while, Shen Yuelou got up and was about to leave, Shen Ruyi said with a look of reluctance: "I just came here and I'm leaving, brother Xiaoyou, can you stay with Ruyi for two more days?"

Shen Yuelou touched Shen Ruyi's head, and explained softly: "My brother has a heavy responsibility this time, and he is not here for fun. These are two tickets for the Kyoto Theater. The night after tomorrow, you can have a meeting with sister Xiaonan. Let's go to the Kyoto Theater to watch my brother's performance."

"Well, well then, brother Xiaoyou, goodbye."

After receiving the performance ticket from Shen Yuelou, and hearing that she would see her brother the day after tomorrow, Shen Ruyi's face turned cloudy.

After leaving Shen Ruyi's residence, Shen Yuelou returned to the Kyoto State Guest House.

After a night of recuperation, Shen Yuelou and his good friend Ichiro Sakamoto made an appointment the next day to visit Yingzhou National Treasure Kabuki Master Sakadong Yusaburo together.

On this trip to Yingying, Sakadong Yusaburo contributed a lot, and Shen Yuelou should come to thank him both emotionally and rationally.

"Mr. Bandong, Mr. Shen came here uninvited, and I still wish Haihan."

"Hahaha, Mr. Sakamoto and Mr. Shen, these two guests are here hand in hand. Tamasaburo is really happy."

After exchanging greetings with Sakamoto Yusaburo, Shen Yuelou and Sakamoto Ichiro followed him into the waiting room.

The tea ceremony in Yingzhou was very popular, and it took a lot of effort and watching the etiquette before Shen Yuelou finally drank the tea soup that Bandong Yusaburo respected for him.

Taste, that's all.

After drinking tea, the three chatted casually.

Through Ichiro Sakamoto's speech, Shen Yuelou knew that Tamasaburo Sakamoto was a name, and the person in front of him was the fifth generation Tamasaburo Sakamoto, and there were four of them before.

Moreover, Tamasaburo Bandou is the female form of kabuki, which is very similar to the Kandan of Peking Opera. Shen Yuelou and Tamasaburo Bandou had a brief exchange of skills, and they immediately felt like they had met at a late age.

……

The second night, Yingzhou Kyoto Theater.

Today's Kyoto Theater is overcrowded. The news that the actors of the Huaxia Opera Cultural Exchange Troupe will perform at the Kyoto Theater tonight has already spread throughout the Yingzhou literary circle. Out of curiosity about Chinese opera culture, Yingzhou literary and art circles have gathered in Kyoto. theater.

Seeing the full audience in the theater, the actors of the Huaxia Opera Cultural Exchange Delegation felt a little bit excited.

The Jingdu Theater, the highest art hall in Yingzhou, is performing Chinese operas here, which is unprecedented.

This time, we must do our best to conquer them with the artistic charm of Chinese opera culture.

"Welcome everyone to come to the Kyoto Theater to watch today's joint performance between Chinese opera actors and Yingzhou Kabuki artists..."

At the beginning of the performance, the host of the Kyoto Theater passionately introduced today's situation.

Firstly, the lineup and repertoire of Yingzhou Kabuki actors were introduced. The host kept some suspense for the audience about the actors and repertoire that the Huaxia Opera Cultural Exchange Troupe will perform.

Kabuki is a typical national performing art of Yingzhou, and it is called the three major national dramas of Yingzhou together with Noh and Ningyo Joruri.

Its form and theme have many similarities with Chinese opera, which is why Yingzhou chose Kabuki for its first co-production with the Chinese opera delegation.

Shen Yuelou also gained a lot of nourishment after watching "The Twelve Stages of Kamikaze" and "Nanfo Dance" performed by Yingzhou Kabuki actors.

The plot of the story, the acting skills of the actors, and the aesthetics of makeup and costumes are lackluster, but their use of props and the design of stage layouts are worth learning a thing or two.

After waiting for two hours, I finally got the big axis tonight.

"Thank you Matsumoto-kun and Mr. Oyuki for their wonderful performances. Next, I would like to invite the Chinese Opera Culture Exchange Group led by Mr. Shen Yuelou to present a Huangmei Opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" to everyone."

The host of the theater finished speaking in fluent Yingzhou language, and then quietly left the stage.

The applause sounded, and the lights on the stage were suddenly turned on.

Before the curtain opened and before the actors stepped onto the stage, Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen sang an introduction together in Danjiao Huangmei tune: "A story has been sung for thousands of years, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. A pair of colorful butterflies Spread love, fly to the flowers again today, and fly to the flowers again today (Alas~~)."

The story of Liang Zhu has not been sung for thousands of years in this world, but it can be interpreted as the playwright's expectation.

At the beginning and subsequent sub-acts, the introduction of the plot with subtitles sung by Yingzhou is also used to make it easier for the audience in Yingzhou to understand the plot.

Hearing Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen's melodious and melodious Huangmei Danjiao duet, and seeing Yingzhou's text prompt appearing in the center of the stage, the audience immediately applauded vigorously.
