The author has something to say: the article was published two years ago, and it was locked at a certain period last year, and it was revised at the same time, hoping to make some progress.Go ahead and update now.

Thank you to the students who have commented and favorited!

I am a rookie in Beijing opera, and I am trying to watch the opera. I am purely learning and selling the relevant professional content in the article. If there are any mistakes, please feel free to correct me, thank you!

This is the first time I write an article in JJ, I implore everyone to criticize and give some points, you can throw away bricks and steamed buns~

Received an urgent notice from the Provincial Department of Culture to reorganize the provincial traditional theater troupe.Only one troupe of the same type of opera will be retained in each city, and the rest of the same type of opera troupe at the municipal level will be merged; only one local local theater troupe will be retained in each district and county, and the remaining local local drama groups at the district and county level will be merged; all districts and counties will be disbanded except for local local operas.

Lin Weiran sat cross-legged in the corner of the roof, replaying in his head the lengthy tongue-twister speech of the team leader at the staff meeting in the morning.

He couldn't remember how long the head of the group had spoken, and he wasn't sure how much he missed. Anyway, Lin Weiran memorized verbatim what the head of the group said that made the whole group boil: According to the requirements of the province, we The County Peking Opera Troupe is disbanded!

It was so categorical that if you didn't listen to the content, you would think that the head of the group was speaking at the mobilization meeting for the new repertoire.Lin Weiran felt a pain in his heart.

Peking Opera is not a local opera in their county, and there is a local theater troupe next door to their troupe, so according to the provincial document with black and white letters and a blood-red seal, the Peking Opera troupe in his county cannot be kept and must be disbanded. The personnel resettlement and real estate transfer work will be completed within one month.

Staffing?What else is there to worry about? Didn’t the group leader talk to everyone one by one in the end, talking about a lot of difficulties in the group, such as insufficient funds and limited policies, but the question is when will their group have sufficient funds and loose policies?

Now it's the end of April, and the performance fees for the Spring Festival are still in arrears and haven't been paid to everyone. Fortunately, Lin Weiran has no wife and children to support, and is single.He understands what the head of the group means, that is, let everyone find a job by themselves, the group doesn't care, you Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers.

No wonder those boys in the regiment didn't practice hard these past two months, and ran out whenever they had time!Lin Weiran thought they had a girlfriend outside!

In the final analysis, Lin Weiran himself was too honest.In fact, the reform of the troupe was not a surprise attack by the provincial government. Whether it was groundless or unfounded, someone in the troupe had spread gossip half a year ago, and people were panicked for a while.

For this reason, the head of the group held a special meeting to let everyone rehearse with peace of mind, and don't listen to the wind is the rain.Lin Weiran was the youngest in the regiment, and he always listened to the organization the most. This time was no exception. He continued to go to the river every morning to shout his voice, and every evening he had to wash a few sweaty exercise clothes.

For half a day, everyone has already run around to get the new job, but he has nothing to do with his lack of heart, and he is stuck in the practice room every day to get the big head!The co-author group. The organization is not telling the truth!

Lin Weiran's brain was roaring, did his father really hit the spot: What kind of play are you singing, Yiyi, you are a smear, I think you will come back sooner or later and tell me about these paddy fields at home!

Lin Weiran stood up suddenly, he didn't want to go home and farm!

He didn't look down on farmers, his grandfather was a farmer and his father was a farmer.He was born in a peasant family, and he never denied this. He loves the freshness of the fields and the openness of the forest, but farming is not his favorite job.

When he was four or five years old, a Peking Opera troupe sent a play to his hometown. His elder sister carried him on her back and led his elder brother by the hand, and walked a few miles with the aunt next door to see the play.When they went, they had already started singing. Taking advantage of their small stature, the children sneaked back and forth in the crowd and jumped to the front.

As soon as Lin Weiran raised his head, he saw a bearded man shaking a white cloth on the temporary stage at the gate of the ancient temple.He has never been in touch with opera, so of course he doesn't know it's called Dai Ran shaking his sleeves, but he is fascinated.

After returning home, he clamored to learn opera, but there was no opera school near the village, not even an ordinary compulsory school, and the children in the village had to climb a mountain to go to the neighboring village to go to school.

In the east of the village, there is an old man who likes to hum model Peking operas along with the radio. Lin Weiran said he wanted to learn from him, but was chased and scolded all the way by his father with a rolling pin.

His father said: "Learn from that old Pao Tiao? Didn't Lao Pao Tiao's own cows slip into the irrigation ditch and break their legs in fright last time when he yelled behind them!"

Don't look at Lin Weiran's young age, but he has a stubborn temper. At this moment, he is sure that he wants to learn opera, and he is determined to fight his father to the end.Reminded by his father, Lin Weiran trotted to his pigsty, squatted down, covered his ears, and started screaming.

Stop meowing a few times and say that you won't let me learn it, so I'll just bark every day to see what your pig will do.He's so anxious to keep his father by the side, the sow is going to give birth in more than half a month, what's wrong with being scared!And pointing at this litter of piglets to save tuition for their children!

Either it is said that I always love my son, or his father, a 1.8-meter strong farmer, can't control Lin Weiran, a little boy?In the end, he still couldn't bear to hear Yao'er cry, and waved the rolling pin in his hand for a long time without hitting it.

Seeing the sow grunting in pain, and hearing that the baby son's voice was about to become hoarse, his father finally agreed to take him to live with his third uncle's house in the county town for a few days during the slack season, and ask the county Peking Opera troupe there No one taught singing.

Just like that, two months later, Lin Weiran joyfully followed his father to the third uncle's house in the county seat.The third uncle took them to the county Peking Opera Troupe again.As soon as he went in to inquire, his father regretted it.It turns out that the County Peking Opera Troupe really has a children's class, which is recruiting students.

His father knew that there was a theater troupe in the county, but he never knew that there would be any children's classes. At first, he thought that such a little kid would go to learn opera, and he was not half as tall as an actor.He just wanted to take the child to a snag, so as not to frighten the pigs and sheep at home, and to bring some fresh farm products to his third brother who was a teacher in the county.

It turned out to be a good one. When Lin Weiran heard that there was a children's class, he jumped higher than when his ass was blown by firecrackers during the Spring Festival last year. He dragged his father's arm and ran to the admissions office. His father never knew how strong this kid was. It's so big, the pain from the shoulder is almost the same as the last time I helped the old Zhang's family stop the startled horse.

The admissions teacher first asked him why he wanted to study drama.Lin Weiran's small head was held high, and she said that she likes to sing operas, and she will be on stage in the future, wearing a black beard, shaking white sleeves, and wearing colorful flags behind her back.

The teacher listened to it, and felt very happy.Most of the children who signed up before were sent by their parents to learn physique and practice pronunciation. There was even a little girl who forced her child to fulfill her wish because her grandmother liked to listen to operas but she had no conditions to learn. The whole interview process was small. The girls are crying.

No matter what you learn, interest is the biggest motivation.

The teacher asked Lin Weiran to sing a song, and Lin Weiran sang Little Swallow Wearing a Pied Dress.His father stared at him and said that this unlucky kid was singing nursery rhymes in the exam. Didn't he learn to sing the national anthem from his brother a few days ago?His third uncle whispered that people want to see how children feel about music, not how many songs you know.

The teacher demonstrated several movements for Lin Weiran to follow.His father gritted his teeth again when he saw it: This doll is not too shameful. The teacher pretends to be a monkey and he learns.

In the end, the admissions teacher carefully looked at Lin Weiran's face, touched his spine, and asked Lin Weiran seriously: "Do you really want to learn Peking Opera and become a Peking Opera actor?"

"No, no, we are just learning to play, not to eat this bowl of rice." His father answered for him first.

The teacher ignored it and asked Lin Weiran again.His third uncle poked his father with his elbow, but his father fell silent.

"Willing! I want to sing!" Lin Weiran cheered.

After getting an affirmative answer from the child, the teacher said to his father and uncle: "This child is good at learning opera, work hard, and he will be able to sing in the future."

Just like that, his father paid the tuition fee reluctantly.

It's not expensive, the teacher said that this children's class is subsidized by the county, but his father really doesn't want the children to sing, why do they have to smear their faces when they are doing well, and they still stop every step when they walk.The key point is, what is the use of learning this thing? Bao Longtu can make rice ripen early by meditating in Kaifeng Mansion?When Su San left Hongdong County, did the hen lay double yolk eggs?

On the contrary, his third uncle kept persuading him, saying that Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country, and it is good for children to like traditional culture.

Lin Weiran was very grateful to his third uncle's family.The third uncle works as a language teacher in the county No. [-] middle school. The house allocated by the school is not big at first, and it is a bit crowded for his family of three to live in.But the county children's class does not provide accommodation, and the regiment dare not provide accommodation for such a young child. It is too much trouble, so they can only go to school.

In order to support himself in studying opera in the county, the third uncle tore down the big bed at home, and asked an acquaintance in the smelter to weld two high and low beds for a total of four beds.Worried that the two children would fall off in their sleep, the third uncle and the third aunt each slept on the upper bunk, and Lin Weiran and the third uncle's daughter slept on the lower bunk.

At that time, Lin Weiran and his cousin were young, and they thought the bunk bed was new. The children were so happy, and his cousin even pulled out some long hairs. The two of them walked back and forth through the holes in the mosquito net. Play.But later, as he and his cousin got older, the third uncle separated the two beds by a certain distance, and hung a layer of opaque curtains in between.

Now that Lin Weiran is sensible, in retrospect, he feels that it was too difficult for the third uncle and the third aunt for him. I have never heard of a couple who slept like this, with a curtain between them, and slept like this for six or seven years!

Thinking of the third uncle, Lin Weiran came to his senses, looked up at the sky, it was terrible, it must be past six o'clock, so he hurried home.

His third uncle served as the head teacher of the graduating class for many years. The average grade of the class he led exceeded the average score of the province many times. He himself was rated as an outstanding teacher at the provincial level twice.In addition to teaching well, Mr. Lin also has strict management of students.He also brought home the set of rules from school. Over the years, Lin Weiran has been in charge of going home every day after practicing, and the troupe must report in advance if there are plans to go out for performances.

Usually he always goes home at three or four in the afternoon, passing by the vegetable market to buy some food.

Since he started working, he gave his salary to his third aunt from the first month, but his third aunt turned around and remitted it all to his parents in the countryside.

Lin Weiran is a conscientious child, he knows that now that he has earned money, he should not continue to eat and drink for nothing.The third uncle and the third aunt refused to ask for his money, so he bought vegetables and daily necessities as a subsidy for the family.I came home late today, and there was nothing fresh in the vegetable market. Lin Weiran took a bamboo dustpan back home, the one at home was too old, and scratched my third aunt's hand a few days ago.

He hadn't even taken out the key at the stairs when he heard the quarrel in the house.Lin Weiran felt cold.

The Beijing Opera Troupe in their county did not have the funds to build a dormitory, and all the actors they recruited were locals, and everyone went home to live.Fortunately, their troupe often goes to various villages to deliver performances, and they don't stay at home for a few days a month.But even if it's only a few days, I have to come back, so Mr. Lin's family can only sleep in two bunk beds for four people like Lin Weiran did before he was admitted to the drama school.

For the first time, his third uncle approached the school leader for a personal matter, and arranged a dormitory for his daughter at the school through the back door.It is reasonable to say that local students are not given a dormitory, but when Lin Weiran graduated from 16 years old, now he is [-], and his cousin is the same age as him, how can this girl and boy sleep together through a curtain? At that time, there was no such thing as renting a house in this small county.

Lin Weiran was ashamed of her behavior of occupying the magpie's nest.In a few months, his cousin's school will be on holiday, and there is only one room in the house, there is no distinction between a living room and a bedroom, so the third aunt and cousin can only sleep on the upper bunk, and the third uncle and him will sleep on the lower bunk, which is regarded as taking care of women Give them some privacy and put some personal clothing and sanitary products on the upper bunk.

Every time I feel that the third aunt turns over very slowly and lightly on the upper bunk, for fear of waking him up and affecting his rest, Lin Weiran really wishes that the troupe could perform outside 360 ​​days a year, and he promises not to complain tired.

Last night he fell into a drowsy sleep, and heard a few whispered arguments between his third aunt and third uncle, but he didn't know why.Now, although he knew it was not good to listen to the corner, he put his hand in his pocket and did not take out the key.

He has been very worried that his existence will affect the life of the third uncle's family.
