Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 243 Takarazuka Theater

Chapter 243 Takarazuka Theater
As soon as "Life and Death" was sung, Shen Yuelou bowed and left the stage with the actors of "Lou Troupe", and the applause of the audience continued for a long time.

"Uuuuuuuuuah, the whole story is so sad. Han Yuniang is so pitiful. When all the hardships came and the joys came, she died."

"The reason for all this is war. I hope there will be no war in the world, so that there will be no more tragedies like Han Yuniang."

"I really like the art of Chinese opera. The singing and acting are beautiful. Every move, every word and every sound is full of beauty."

"I said that a good flower and a full moon make a man live longer. That part is so brilliant, and I still feel it in my ears."

……

This play did not arouse the suspicion of the masters. They thought that the style of Huaxia opera was mainly tragedy, so they didn't think much about it.

As for the theme of anti-war, all Blue Stars are anti-war, and the play is written about the grievances between Beiliang and Dazhou, and has nothing to do with Yingzhou.

After removing the makeup, Shen Yuelou was invited to the seats of the guests, chatting with them and taking pictures as usual, it was a happy scene.

After the banquet was over, Shen Yuelou returned to the Akasaka State Guest House with the actors of the "Lou Opera Troupe".

Akai Ryota followed closely and not only congratulated Shen Yuelou on the success of this hall performance, but also told him the venue and time of the next performance - Takarazuka Theater in two days.

At that time, Emperor Xiaochuan of Yingzhou will bring Prince Jiaren and other members of the royal family to watch the performance of the Chinese opera cultural exchange delegation, and Yingzhou TV will also broadcast the whole process.

Hearing this news, Shen Yuelou was also very excited.

The largest theater in Yingzhou, the audience with the highest status, plus the broadcast of the largest TV station...

The specification of this performance is already the top specification in Yingzhou.

After glancing at Akai Ryota, Shen Yuelou clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Akai, for such a deep friendship, Yuelou is very grateful."

"Boss Shen, you are being polite. Please prepare well for the performance in two days' time."

Sending Akai Ryota away, Shen Yuelou immediately took Han Zaifen and the other three to tell the good news to other actors of the Huaxia Opera Cultural Exchange Delegation.

"It's really great. Being at the Takarazuka Theater, the royal family of Yingzhou came to watch the performance, and it was broadcast by Yingzhou TV. The mission of our delegation has already been overfulfilled."

"That's right, everyone should work harder for the last performance in the capital of Yingzhou."

"Boss Shen's "The Peony Pavilion" is so wonderful, it will definitely impress the audience in Yingzhou."

……

Two days later, Takarazuka Theater.

After the performance of Huangmei Opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and Shen Yuelou's wonderful performance at the Yingzhou Red and White Song Festival, the audience in Yingzhou was looking forward to the performance of the Chinese opera delegation.

Before the good show officially started, the Takarazuka Theater, which can accommodate [-] spectators, was already packed.

The cameras of Yingzhou TV Station have already aimed at the stage of Takarazuka Theater, and reporters from many literary newspapers in Kyoto also took out pens and papers to write essays about watching the drama.

Shen Yuelou was sitting backstage in the theater, and he had made a lot of preparations for this extremely grand performance.

Last night, he spent 70 opera prestige points to dream of Du Liniang, just to be in full condition during the performance.

"Welcome everyone to come to Takarazuka Theater to watch tonight's performance. In addition to Tomoki Sonoda's performance tonight, Mr. Tamasaburo Sakato will also make an appearance.

Of course, Boss Shen Yuelou will also bring you a new play.

Let's all look forward to it. "

Hearing the introduction of the theater host, the audience immediately applauded enthusiastically.

"Wow, there is a performance by Mr. Tamasaburo Sakato tonight."

"I heard that Mr. Ban Dong made great efforts to facilitate the performance of the Huaxia opera cultural exchange delegation in Yingzhou."

"Mr. Bandong and Boss Shen are both female actors. It would be great if they could act together in a play in the future."

"Today is really worth it. Not only can you appreciate the elegance of Chinese opera, but you can also see Mr. Bandong's performance."

……

The good plays were performed one after another, and the actors who were able to go to the Takarazuka Theater and perform in front of the Emperor Yingzhou were naturally the top actors in Yingzhou.

Seeing Tamasaburo Banfuyu performing famous Yingzhou Kabuki songs in full makeup, Shen Yuelou also saw in him the deep accumulation that a Yingzhou national treasure Kabuki actor should have.

When Bandong Yusaburo finished performing "The Lion in the Mirror", all the audience in Yingzhou applauded enthusiastically.

"Mr. Bandong's acting is so good. Not only can he interpret the "female form" vividly, but when he transforms into a demon, the domineering and boldness of the "lion spirit" is also vividly displayed."

"Mr. Bandong's acting skills are superb, and this play is impeccable."

"I heard that Boss Shen of Shen Yuelou is also good at acting in "female form". I wonder if Boss Shen will also perform in the form of "female form" in this scene?"

"Hehe, probably not. After all, he played a man in the last "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". In this scene, Mr. Bandong's jade is in front of him. Head Shen should want to avoid Mr. Bandong's edge of."

……

"Thank you Mr. Bandong for the wonderful performance, this scene is so well acted, it is both domineering and tender.

In Huaxia language, it should be hard and soft, I don't know if I'm right?

Next, artists from the Chinese Opera Cultural Exchange Delegation will be invited to perform a Kunqu opera "The Peony Pavilion". "

After the host of the theater introduced the repertoire that Shen Yuelou and others were going to perform, he walked off the stage directly.

The curtain slowly opened, and the background of the stage was an ink garden painting, which looked appropriate in color, clean and elegant.

The flute and sanxian sounded, and Tang Xianzu, played by Shen Yuelou, slowly stepped onto the stage.

I saw him wearing a gray scholar's robe, holding a folding fan, and a fluttering beard, giving people a feeling of being talented but free and abject.

"Leave people where they are busy.

Thinking of everything, no one is happy.

In the daytime, there is only love that can't be complained.

The front of the Yuming Hall is at night, red candles welcome people, and the handsomeness is helped by Jiangshan.

But lovesickness is not negative, and the Peony Pavilion is on Sansheng Road. "

After singing Butterfly Love Flower, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but read sadly to the audience in Yingzhou: "Love doesn't know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper.

The living can die, and the dead can live. Why is the feeling in a dream untrue? "

After reading the opening paragraph, Shen Yuelou left the stage gracefully, and the audience burst into applause.

"The days are spent in heartbreaking sentences, and there is only love in the world that is hard to express. ... I don’t know where the love begins, but it goes deeper and deeper. These plays are so beautifully written."

"Hahaha, I guessed right, Commander Shen really didn't pretend to be a "female" this time, but, isn't this appearance a bit too sloppy.

Even if you don't pretend to be a "female", you should at least pretend to be a handsome scholar. It's a pity that you have such a good appearance. "

"The singing here is different from that of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", and also different from "Life and Death". It is mellow and melodious, and the singing has an elegant and delicate feeling."

"Is this Kunqu Opera? Huaxia's operas are really rich, and each genre has its own unique flavor and charm."

 Originally, I wanted to write that after the protagonist performed "Life and Death", there were some ups and downs, but he was targeted by the cabinet ministers and was forcibly detained.

  Then, Sakamoto Ichiro and Sakadong Tamasaburo asked the big shots for help, and then led to the granddaughter of Emperor Yingzhou to fall in love with the protagonist, and there was a scandal.

  Of course, the protagonist definitely doesn't like the imperial daughter of Yingzhou.

  I thought about it later, if I write this way, I will definitely be blocked, and it may not be popular with readers.

  Forget it, don't write risky ones, finish the Yingzhou chapter as soon as possible, and go back to China.
