Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 84 New Book Release
After talking about the prescription, Sun Baolin went on to answer Shen Yuelou's previous questions, and talked about Zhu Yushan's teachings to him in detail.

"After apprenticeship, Master Bamboo devoted himself to teaching me the performing arts of painted faces, and had very strict requirements.

He taught me to develop in an all-round way, not to be confined to one end, to have a slick mouth and a good body, and I must not be "invulnerable".

My teacher's teaching method to me can be roughly summarized into four aspects-sun, teaching, blogging, and acting.

Smoked is subtle, subtle.

Whenever the teacher performs, I will be there to observe and learn my teacher's make-up, face hook, tie-up, performance, etc. on and off the stage.

After half a year, the master officially taught me how to sing.

Hehe, the art of hooking the face and the method of singing and reciting taught by the master are all secret skills of our school, so I will not pass them on.

Bo is to learn from others' strengths and turn them into one's own use.

The formation of a genre, in addition to inheriting the excellent performing arts of its own industry, must also learn from and absorb the essence of other industries, as well as brother dramas and sister arts.

It is precisely because the teacher flexibly blended the melody of many old students, niche students, Tsing Yi and other professions into his singing, and seamlessly blended with the Hualian singing, so he is called "Shiquan Dajing" by the world. ", won the reputation of one of the four great masters.

It goes without saying that acting is practice. "

After listening to Master Zhu's teaching method, Shen Yuelou also felt that he had benefited a lot.

Especially in the aspect of learning from others' strengths, as he deepened his study of opera theory, he found that Peking Opera itself is a product of learning from others' strengths, fully absorbing the essence of Hui Opera, Han Opera, Qin Opera and Kunqu Opera.

After listening to Mr. Sun finished speaking, Shen Yuelou asked a few more questions related to Peking Opera performances, and then Chai Xun and Sun Baolin discussed some anecdotes about the Liyuan.

……

At noon, the group had lunch at Sun's house. Before leaving in the afternoon, Shen Yuelou suddenly and mysteriously avoided Chai Xun and the others, and sneaked up to Sun Baolin and Zhu Jingzhang.

"Mr. Sun, Boss Zhu, to tell you the truth, Mr. Shen is also a Peking Opera actor, and his job is Tsing Yi.

In the interview just now, Shen was very interested in the prescription that Mr. Yu Shan mentioned.

Shen is also very aware of the preciousness of this prescription, if it is exchanged directly for money, it would be a bit too vulgar.

This is a Peking Opera script written by Shen earlier. It is a play between Hua Lian and Qing Yi. If you two agree to donate the prescription, Shen will give the role of "Overlord" in this play to the two gentlemen's disciples.

In the future, if this play is staged in Liyuan, the "Bamboo Sect" must be invited to respond. "

Shen Yuelou wanted to ask for this prescription, not only for himself, but also for the actors of the Lou Theater Troupe.

Xiao Lian's eleven actors who entered Beijing were limited by talent, and the level of Peking Opera has not been greatly improved. With the help of such a proven "miracle medicine", perhaps the overall strength of the Lou Theater Troupe can be greatly improved. Big cut.

Moreover, this prescription will also be of great help in attracting and cultivating talents in the future.

There is a proverb in Liyuan Xing, it is difficult to find a clean one after a thousand lives.

But people's "Bamboo Sect" can be full of talents, Shen Yuelou expected, it must be related to this prescription.

Hearing Shen Yuelou's words, Zhu Jingzhang smiled in his heart, with a look of disapproval.

What a joke!
You actually want to obtain the secret medicine of our sect with an opera role, do I look like an actor who lacks a face in my "Bamboo School" disciple?

Let’s talk about you, there are four major Beijing opera troupes, but whenever there is a big play, the role of Jing Xing is the first choice for our Zhupai Hualian.

Turning around and seeing that Sun Baolin hadn't spoken, he couldn't say anything.

Just wait for the master to read the script before making any calculations.

Perhaps because of the pleasant interview and chat just now, Sun Baolin has a good impression of Shen Yuelou. After receiving the script, he began to read it.

"Farewell My Concubine", a good name.

To pull the mountain out of the world, the time will never pass away.

The majestic spirit, the bold and wanton demeanor, among which there is no lack of heroic tenderness.

This overlord of Chu is too charming, and too suitable for the art of painted faces.

Seeing this character, Sun Baolin couldn't help thinking of his master Zhu Yushan.

If the master is alive, he definitely wants to play the role of Overlord.

"The script is so well written, once the role of Overlord is staged, there will definitely be another classic role for the face.

I agreed to exchange the prescription for Mr. Shen's role as the Overlord in the play. "

Hearing Sun Baolin's words, Shen Yuelou was overjoyed, and quickly cupped his fists in thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, when this "Farewell My Concubine" is going to be rehearsed, I will come to invite me personally, I believe that day will not be very far away. "

Carrying the script of "Farewell My Concubine" with her, Shen Yuelou originally planned to show it to Mr. Sun for observation, even if there was no prescription, he would still take out the script.

This is an excellent opportunity to make friends with famous actors and actresses.

Shen Yuelou worked hard to facilitate this visit to the old man in Liyuan in the name of opera research. Naturally, he planned to take this opportunity to catch up with all the famous and decent circles in China.

Even if you can't come up with the corresponding famous drama scripts to attract you for the time being, you can get familiar with them first, and in the future, there will be a way to get famous actors from all walks of life.

In the Peking Opera circle, contacts and resources are much more valuable than Huayuan.

Holding the prescription, Shen Yuelou went back to the Opera Research Institute with Mr. Chai and the others with a satisfied face.

What a surprise!
I don't know how much success this prescription can increase for myself.

……

Back in Shuxiangyuan's room, Shen Yuelou was thinking about the questions he would ask when he visited Xiaosheng Xu Miaoxiang's disciple Jiang Xiaoxiang tomorrow, when suddenly, his mobile phone rang.

"Mr. Shen, I called you because I have good news to tell you.

Congratulations, Mr. Shen, after nearly two months of preparation, your novel "Begonia" will be released nationwide at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning.

The first edition was released, and we only printed 30 copies. If it is not enough, we will print more later.

I originally thought about holding a new book signing event for you before the release, but when I thought about you being a popular singer now, I was afraid that the book fans would be too enthusiastic and the order would not be maintained, so I gave up. "

Hearing Yao Yumin's words, Shen Yuelou couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Hehe, editor Yao really knows how to joke, what kind of singer am I.

The new book signing will not be held unless it is held. I have something to do recently, and I really can't spare it.

Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Yao, for worrying about the release of the novel "Qiu Begonia". "

From publication to sale, it has been busy for more than two months. Shen Yuelou can also see how much Yao Yumin and Huaxia Literature and Art Publishing House attach importance to his "Begonia".

"Teacher Shen is too polite, this is what we should do.

You are busy first, and I will call you later when I need it. "

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call. See you, Editor-in-Chief Yao."

"Goodbye, Teacher Shen."

After talking on the phone with Yao Yumin, Shen Yuelou posted a message on his social account that a new book was about to be released, and stopped paying attention to the sale.

The work is indeed a good work, as for how many copies it can sell, it is not up to him to decide.

Fortunately, Huaxia Literature and Art Publishing House has been in operation for many years and has its own set of effective methods for publishing new books, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

……

The next day, at 07:30 in the morning, before the novel "Qiu Hai Tang" was released nationwide, a news was published on the front page of "Yanjing Morning Post": Shen Yuelou, a famous Peking opera actress, entered the literary world for the first time. sale.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Many people are very curious about what kind of book "Autumn Begonia" written by Mr. Shen is.

At [-]:[-], not long after the novel was released, many well-known literary critics on "Wen Wei Po" began to comment on "Qiu Haitang", and everyone gave this work high praise.

The well-known scholar Zhao Qingfeng published an appreciation article on "Qiu Hai Tang" in his column, which specifically described Qiu Hai Tang's mental journey from birth to death.

Liang Guiping, a famous literary critic, called it the "first tragedy" of Liyuan novels in the Republic of China.

……

The famous historical writer Pei Qingfeng wrote the preface, the well-known literary editor Yao Yumin edited it, and Yanjing Satellite TV celebrity Gao Yan recommended it wholeheartedly, "Autumn Begonia" is worth having.

After a lot of publicity, the novel "Qiu Haitang" has sold nearly 21 copies in just three days since its launch, and it was sold out of stock on the fourth day with a sales volume of 9 copies.

Huaxia Literature and Art Publishing House immediately decided to print another 50 copies.

On the fifth day after the new book was released, "Begonia" was ranked No.11 on the best-seller list in China that week due to its good reputation and sales.
