grandfather's daughter-in-law

It goes without saying that the competition is fierce.We have some superficial understanding of various drama genres, and we are no longer blindly confident, but all the actors are gearing up to try it out, and everyone inevitably wants to compete.Yu Minxiu warned everyone that since it is communication, it is enough to do your best, and put aside winning or losing for the time being.Having said that, if we really lose dishonorably, how can we face the people of Baodao?Therefore, everyone is still secretly struggling.

The quintessence of Peking Opera is well-deserved, as soon as the voice is bright, it is already overwhelming.The repertoire of Peking Opera is "Farewell My Concubine". This is a tragic song about heroes in troubled times. The story of the hero losing his way and the beauty dying for love is vividly interpreted by the actors. People feel sad, just like poetry Yun: "Strengthen the mountain and the world is overwhelmed, and the time is not good. The time is not dying. The time is not dying. What is there to do, what is the time to be in trouble!" , Mo can look up.In addition, there are Henan Opera "Mu Guiying Strange Handsome" and Huangmei Opera "Pairing of Immortals". "Mu Guiying in Command" is an old play, which has been performed vividly and vividly by generations of elite actors. The older the play, the harder it is to perform it. The more familiar it is, the harder it is to perform new ideas. .However, Mu Guiying vigorously and tragically shouted, "The old lady still has the courage of the past, but Mu Guiying, I don't have the prestige of the past? Who will be in command if I don't lead the army, and whoever leads the army if I don't lead the army!" , the audience was all moved, as if they were in the hatred of the family and wanted to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop to serve the country.No matter how many years have passed, this deafening declaration of Lingyun's ambition is still stirring our hearts. "Seven Fairies Descending to Earth" is a popular folk tune, but it was later rewritten and renamed "Pairing of Immortals". The plot of "Pairing of Immortals" is quite different from the original plot, but it seems more reasonable.The Seven Fairies marrying Dong Yong is no longer at the request of the Jade Emperor, but descends to the earth in private; The three-year long-term work was changed to a hundred days, thus highlighting the ups and downs and preciousness of the relationship between the two. This eternal regret is even more embarrassing.This kind of rigidity, tenderness and loyalty is as gentle as jade like a lady of every family, and as affectionate as Xiaojiabiyu. Although they are performed in different ways, they all express the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness that have been sung through the ages and the love for beautiful love and love. Yearning for a happy life.

Among these wonderful and magnificent works, the one that impressed us the most is the Sichuan opera "Legend of the White Snake. Jinshan Temple". Because the story told and "Wishing Love" are all changed from "Legend of the White Snake", everyone is waiting to see. worry. "The Legend of the White Snake. Jinshan Temple" tells the story of the White Snake Fairy who was imprisoned in the White Lotus Pond by the Tathagata Buddha for a long time because of her love for Guizhi Arhat. , and later with the help of the green snake, they married the Guizhi Arhat (Xu Xian) who was relegated to the earth.According to the Tathagata's will, Zen Master Fahai followed him down to earth and repeatedly inflicted harm until the happy marriage was broken up.In order to protect the pure love and fight back against Fahai and his ilk's perverse actions, the White Snake showed its magical powers in anger, flooding Jinshan, and fought fiercely with the Green Snake.In the end, the green snake gave up his life for righteousness, and finally fulfilled the happiness of the white snake.

There is nothing new in the story, but it is the first time for us to watch it in Sichuan opera.Yu Minxiu couldn't help but be a little stunned. The face-changing, fire-breathing, and water sleeves are unique, and the witty remarks, plus the freehand stylized movements contain endless charm, and even the Sichuan dialect with a strange accent has become full of wit up.This is a completely different interpretation method from Gezai Opera.Gezai Opera was originally based on the landing sweep in the Yilan area, and was developed by absorbing elements such as car drum arrays. The buffoon's gags make a joke.The silk and bamboo instruments in Wenchang and the percussion instruments in Wuchang are not much different from Peking Opera.

Seeing her dazed in a daze, I hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hold her hand.At that time, she had already painted her face with makeup, and she was wearing that shiny white snake dress.I don't know what the production team came up with, but actually arranged "Ask for Love" after "Legend of the White Snake. Jinshan Temple". .

"Don't worry," I said.It was she who warned us to put aside success and failure, but only think of the most nervous person when we don't think of her.

She smiled back at me, "I made you laugh."

I didn't know what to say, I just looked at the stage, and I saw a person who swept his sleeves and changed a mask, it was really miraculous.I couldn't help admiring: "The face-changing skill of Sichuan opera is really unique in the world."

"Well," Yu Minxiu replied in a low voice, and after a while, she heard her say: "You said that if this face-changing is also used in Gezai Opera, would it be considered a feature?"

I was amused by her whimsical idea and couldn't help but smile, "You're talking about dreams, let's just say that in our Gezai opera, who hasn't worked hard for ten or eight years and dares to make a fool of himself on stage? Look at his proficient skills. I'm afraid I won't be able to practice it in ten or eight years. What's more, why did they teach us this housekeeping skill?"

Yu Minxiu looked at it thoughtfully, but didn't answer. I thought she was discouraged, and after a while, I heard her say again: "If you haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work?" Then she walked to the backstage , don't watch anymore.

When "Ask Love" first appeared on the stage, it did not resonate with the audience.Although the appearance of White Snake and Green Snake used modern dance techniques, the audience didn't seem to understand.There were not many people, and we just sat in a few rows motionless. It is said that they all seem to be the leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. This made us very restrained, and now we are even more at a loss.No matter how eloquent I was before, now I am afraid that I am only suspected of selling myself and boasting.Because of the singing in Hokkien and the unique tunes of Gezai Opera that have never been performed in mainland China, all the leaders watched so blankly from the beginning to the end of the first show, only to burst out at the end. Orderly applause.

Both Yu Minxiu and Lin Jiaxi were obviously aware of the whole problem.

"Do they not like our plays?" Lin Jiaxi said, "I've never seen someone listen to a play without talking or laughing."

The first white snake meets Xu Xian, the story of borrowing an umbrella on a rainy day is not dramatic, nor does it make people cry, but according to our performance experience in Taiwan, at least we should have something to look forward to at this time, not to mention we have been Claiming that it is unprecedented to add modern dance elements to Gezai opera, or even other traditional operas, the cold reaction of the audience is really unexpected.

Yu Minxiu pondered for a moment, then said: "Probably not, I also watched the previous performances, even if the plot was wonderful, they never applauded, they just applauded, it's still very ostentatious."

"This may be the culture of the mainland." I said.

"Mainlanders are also really strange, they always watch dramas so rigidly." Lin Jiaxi said with emotion.

Then the second match began.Knowing that one-on-one watching is probably the characteristic of mainlanders, we no longer obsessed with interacting with the audience, and only performed our housekeeping skills vividly on the stage.Sure enough, with the development of the plot, until the White Snake stole the medicinal herb, the Jinshan Temple was filled with anger and anger, and the originally restrained audience and judges completely let go, and there was a burst of exclamation. A few spectators in the corners came down from the stage, picked up our props and played with them in their hands.This is the true appearance of Gezai Opera, unrestrained, originating from life and blending into life.The actors on the stage worked harder to show their true nature.

Why is flooding Jinshan a turning point?In fact, it is impossible to really flood the golden mountain with water. In the premiere in Taiwan, we used steel wires to suspend people high into the sky to reflect the superb magic of the white snake, creating an artistic conception of green snakes and white snakes flying through the clouds and fog when the water flooded the golden mountain. After that failed, we He thought otherwise.Later, thanks to the inspiration of those naughty children, Yu Minxiu proposed to use small plastic foam balls to replace the water source.Two high-pressure jet machines were set up on the stage background cloth, from which small foam balls were sprayed out continuously, which also achieved the effect of flooding the golden mountain.This is another combination of classical and modern, which can be described as advancing with the times and pioneering a unique approach.At that time, the wound on the corner of my eye was completely healed, leaving only three stitch marks of small size, which happened to be unevenly opposite to the wound when I was a child.After the premiere in Taiwan, Yu Minxiu never brought up this matter again. I secretly thought about the reason why she was struggling to find another way.

Later, when the green snake blood splashed the Leifeng Pagoda, the audience was completely moved by the scene on the stage.Traditional Gezai opera is more white than less, and the rhythm is free.Most of the music tunes are seven-character tunes, Duma tunes, major tunes, crying words and miscellaneous thoughts.In the Green Snake Blood Splattering Leifeng Pagoda, we added a new tune, which was composed by the teacher of the opera troupe, and I accidentally heard it and used it in "Ask for Love", which was later named "Acacia Tune" by me. ".In the end, the green snake fell into a pool of blood, using this "Lovesickness Tune" to sing the desolate libretto, which made the audience cry.

Someone once thought that the green snake was a man, and that only a man could have such a tolerant heart.Although White Snake doesn't love him, he still respects her choice.White Snake wanted to find Xu Xian, so he set them up as a bridge.He was afraid that Xu Xian would believe in slander and hurt White Snake in the future, so he made a three-chapter pact with him.He made sacrifices for the White Snake time and time again, and finally gave his life.When I lay in her arms and watched her shed tears of gratitude for me, but there was no love in those eyes, I felt that I was very much like the green snake.When I first took over the play, I felt that the character was very much like myself.Regardless of whether the green snake is male or female, his love for the white snake is unquestionable, and he will sacrifice his life for her freedom and happiness.But the white snake and the green snake are extremely similar, and her love for Xu Xian is also unswerving, and once she falls in love, it will be a lifetime.

This is probably life.
