Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 6 Contract Filming
Seeing this group of lively high school female students in front of her, Shen Yuelou couldn't help feeling envious of their carefree life.

Studying at ease on campus, without having to worry about livelihood and food and clothing, surrounded by many playmates of the same age, my life when I was studying drama was much harder than them.

If you don’t learn well, you will have no food to eat, and you will be punished if you sing the wrong opera or use the wrong posture. Sometimes the apprentices in the same class make mistakes, and you have to be whipped...

It's really hard to look back on the past!

After inquiring from Zhang Yuanxi about the learning progress of the students in Class [-], Grade [-], and getting acquainted with them through roll call, Shen Yuelou began teaching for the first time in his life.

He is just an external teacher, and there are not a few lessons every week.

The reason why Chen Qingkui asked him, a novice teacher, to teach the figure and singing of the "Lan School" is also because the "Lan School" is a prominent school in Tsing Yi. By the third year of high school, what should be taught has already been taught. He only needs to help students do some brief review in class. That's fine.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been asked to take charge of the senior high school students right from the start.

Shen Yuelou naturally knew what Chen Qingkui was thinking, but since she became their teacher, she couldn't just idle around, she still had to teach what should be taught.

"The basic requirement for Peking opera actors is to master the four skills and five methods, and the focus of each profession is slightly different.

The four skills are singing, reading, doing, and fighting.

The five dharmas are hands, eyes, body, dharma, and steps.

Singing in Peking Opera naturally means singing with Xipi or Erhuang Peking Opera singing tunes and different banyan.

Nian refers to the chanting of Peking Opera. In Danxing, our Tsingyi Zhengdan has very high requirements for singing skills.

Therefore, Zhengdan mostly speaks rhyme, reads words with rhyme, half reads and half sings, singing more than reciting, while ordinary Huadan only needs to read Jingbai.

Doing is a general term for a series of dance-like body movements. In addition to singing and chanting, Peking Opera actors also express the emotions of the characters through the use of hands, eyes, body, methods and steps.

Fighting naturally refers to martial arts.

Generally speaking, Laosheng is the one who puts the most emphasis on singing skills among the Four Elements, Dan Xing is the most important on singing skills, and we in Qingyi are the ones who put the most emphasis on singing skills among Dan Xing.

Dagong, Wudan and Daomadan can be used. Our Zhengdan mainly sings Wenxi and seldom uses it. For Tsingyi, reciting is also singing.

Therefore, our future teaching focus will be on singing and doing exercises. "

Glancing at the teaching memo Zhang Yuanxi left for him, Shen Yuelou went on to say: "The Lan School is a master in Tsing Yi, and the orthodox and meticulous Lan School voice and body are almost taught by Teacher Zhang and Teacher Song.

The teaching level of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Song is definitely not comparable to me.

I can only do my best to teach everyone what I know about the physical training and vocalization methods commonly used in old school classes.

First of all, let's learn from the gestures of hands, eyes, body, method, and steps. I will teach you some basic gestures of "Lanpai" Tsingyi. "

While talking, Shen Yuelou slowly stretched out his right hand, spread his palm flat, slightly hooked his index finger, and made a gesture of accepting nectar.

"This action is called "Chenglu."

After pausing for a while, Shen Yuelou quickly changed his hand movements, lightly gathered the upper three fingers together, and extended the last two fingers slightly outward.

"This action is called "butterfly loss"."

"This movement is called "Cuisi", this movement is called "Douhua", this movement is called "Reflection"...

Look carefully, pay attention, and pay attention to the transitions and changes between them. "

Stretching out those slender hands that were as delicate as beautiful jade, matching her figure, Shen Yuelou made graceful gestures one after another in front of the students.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

"Natural and smooth, so silky feeling."

"We have seen the twelve basic gestures of Diezi, Chuilu, Doufang and Chuzhuan in the video before.

It didn't feel like much at the time.

Why is it that Mr. Shen is so beautiful and graceful as soon as he makes it? "

The girls in Class [-], Grade [-] couldn't help being amazed after watching Teacher Shen's fluid and exquisite gestures.

……

After school at noon, I had a simple lunch in the cafeteria of the Second Affiliated Middle School. Shen Yuelou immediately took out her mobile phone and made a phone call with the casting director of the short film.

"Hello Mr. Sang, I am Shen Yuelou, we just met yesterday at Wenchang Street in Xicheng.

The meeting yesterday was too hasty and many things were not discussed in detail. Do you have time now?
I would like to read the script of the short film you mentioned first. "

Hearing Shen Yuelou's words, Sang Yue replied with surprise on his face: "I have time, Mr. Shen, where are you now? I will bring the script to you right away."

"I'm currently in the No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to Huaxia Academy of Chinese Opera. If you have free time, come and find me!"

After two classes in the morning, there was no class from him for two consecutive days, Shen Yuelou is very free now.

About half an hour later, Sang Yue came to Shen Yuelou with the script of "Linghu".

Carefully flipping through the script with only a few thin pages, Shen Yuelou couldn't help frowning slightly.

Short, very short!
It's not a big deal either.

The problem is, in the script, the male lead's feelings for the second male seem to be quite subtle.

No wonder such a good thing would happen to him.

Just let yourself, a newcomer, play the male lead.

It is estimated that most handsome young students who want to develop in the entertainment industry for a long time will not accept such a role.

Lin Xiao also chose to act as the male lead, because the male lead was normal throughout the whole process and did not show that tendency.

"Uh, this, Mr. Sang,..."

After putting down the script, Shen Yuelou was already retreating.

Although I have no long-term plans to be involved in the film and television industry, I still want to avoid this kind of role if I can.

Seeing Shen Yuelou's expression, Sang Yue immediately launched a money offensive: "Mr. Shen, the shooting period of our short story film is less than ten days, and the salary is a full 30 Chinese yuan."

Ten days, 30 Huayuan?

It is more cost-effective than participating in "The Track of Heartbeat".

Shen Yuelou's heart moved, and he immediately replied: "Okay, I will take this job."

"Hahaha, cheer up!"

After signing the contract with Sangyue, Shen Yuelou took the script of "Returning Home on a Snowy Night" and went straight to the Yanjing People's Art Drama Club.

In fact, before going to Yanjing People's Art Drama Club, he originally wanted to go to the China Copyright Bureau to register the relevant copyright information of "Returning on a Snowy Night".

After communicating with the system, Shen Yuelou learned that as long as the literary and artistic works issued to him by the system would be automatically included in the register by the China Copyright Bureau and written under his name, there would be no risk of being impersonated by others.

Tsk tsk tsk, even the Huaxia Copyright Bureau can be connected, this system is really miraculous.

This saves me the time and money to go to the Huaxia Copyright Office to register.

30 Chinese yuan for ten days, even if a small part of the tax is deducted, the rest is worth the total salary of teaching at the No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to Huaxia Opera Academy for ten years.

Therefore, it is better to engage in a sideline business to make more money.

Thinking of another drama sideline that she was about to start just now, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but chuckled and shook her head.

To take back the previous sentence, not every side job can make a lot of money.

In the Chinese literature and art circle, the salary of a drama actor is not much different from that of a Beijing opera actor. Anyway, they are not very high.

Shen Yuelou decided to act in a drama because she just wanted to complete the system tasks and get the three rewards given by the system.

The script of the attached drama "Returning on a Snowy Night" is already so good, and the script of the famous Peking Opera included in the award is even more worth looking forward to.
