Is this cross talk partner officially announced today?

================

On this day, Xu Fenglai, Zhao Longqi, Bai Ruining, and Chi Ruize, who had finished their commercial performances, finally came back from other places.

"Come on, come on, this is a gift for you."

"Here are the snacks and tea over there. We bought a lot."

At this time, leisurely living in the backyard, the four people who came back were eagerly digging out gifts for Chen Xi and Han Tianye.

"Are you going to a business show, or are you going to rob, as for buying so many things!" Chen Xi was a little bit tongue-tied looking at the gift boxes all over the floor.

"The main reason is to make money, so I will bring you some more together." Xu Fenglai smiled at Chen Xi.

"Master, it's rare for us to go out to make money, so this gift is indispensable." Bai Ruining also had a smile on his face.

Chen Xi and Han Tianye knew that these four people were in high spirits and didn't refuse, so they happily accepted these gifts.

The gifts were almost distributed, and Chen Xi also told them what happened during their departure, the most important of which was the special event.

"I will bring our entire performance team to perform in this special show, you guys have to work harder!"

"That's a good feeling."

"This is the first show of our four teams!"

The four of them were very happy after hearing this, but Xu Fenglai frowned when he thought of something.

"Xiaoxi, there are a lot of opera elements in your special performance, which is much more difficult than a pure cross talk performance."

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Our performance team Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this is not a problem."

The others nodded, feeling the same way.

"And..." Chen Xi paused, "This year is the big celebration of our Jiqing Hall, and the training is expected to be more difficult than in previous years. In this way, we will be more confident in our special session."

"Yes, there is also a training camp."

Hearing Chen Xi's reminder, Bai Ruining's face suddenly became bitter, and Chi Ruize's expression on the side was also a little bad.

Looking back at these two people, Xu Fenglai and Zhao Longqi were much calmer.

"What training camp?" At this time, Han Tianye asked.

Everyone looked at him, and then they realized that Han Tianye didn't seem to know about the annual training camp.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled wickedly. He patted Han Tianye's shoulder: "Don't worry, you are indispensable. I will go out with my brother for a walk someday."

Han Tianye smiled slightly, grabbed Chen Xi's hand that was patted on his shoulder, and squeezed it hard: "Who is the elder brother?"

"pain!"

Chen Xi wanted to retract his claws, but Han Tianye held them tightly, and finally he had to beg for mercy.

"You are brother, you are brother!"

Only then did Han Tianye let go of his hand in satisfaction.

However, Chen Xi added another sentence: "But I am your father." After speaking, he immediately fled towards the backstage.

"Hey!" Han Tianye got up and chased after him.

Others couldn't help laughing when they saw the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time, still interacting so naively.

■

In the early morning of this day, Han Tianye, who was standing at the gate of Beijing Opera Academy, looked at Chen Xi beside him.

"This is where you said it was?"

"Yes, let's go in."

The two entered the campus, walked along the tree-lined path, and came to a building.

Stepping up the steps and entering it, the field of vision instantly becomes wider.

This is a rehearsal hall with an interior of about 2000 square meters and a height as high as two floors.

At this time, the place is in full swing, and nearly a hundred people are rehearsing.

Some people practice martial arts with real swords and guns;

Generally speaking, it can still be seen at a glance that these people in simple costumes are rehearsing Peking Opera.

Han Tianye also saw a few familiar people in it, they were Xu Fenglai, Zhao Longqi, Bai Ruining, and Chi Ruize, and they all came for training.

"This is our training ground for the second half of the year." Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Xi said to Han Tianye beside him.

It is said that the unpacking and sealing of Jiqingtang every year consists of two parts.

One is cross talk, and the other is Peking opera.

In order to seal the performance at the end of the year, every June and July, the cross talk disciples in Jiqing Hall who have inherited Peking Opera have to practice.

The reason for this is to start with the history of Jiqingtang.

The patriarch of Jiqingtang has followed the theater troupe from the very beginning.

It should be said that it is precisely because of the opportunity to intersperse cross talk in troupe performances that today's Jiqingtang is established.

The patriarch of Jiqingtang, in order to express his gratitude for the mutual help with the opera troupe, stipulated at the beginning that the cross talk disciples under his school must choose Peking Opera as another inheritance.

Generally, the disciples who enter Jiqingtang are from two disciplines. In addition to learning cross talk, they also have to learn Peking opera.

Of course, with the expansion of Jiqingtang's enrollment, it stipulates that the other inheritance of disciples is no longer limited to Peking Opera.

Dagu, Allegro, Pingshu, etc. can be chosen, but no matter what, Ji Xingtang's requirement for students is that they must embrace both disciplines.

No one can say why, maybe it is for one's own disciples to have one more skill to survive, or it may be regarded as one of the conditions for selecting outstanding disciples, anyway, this tradition has been passed down to this day.

With the rapid development of the social economy and the diversification of people's entertainment methods, the national quintessence of Peking Opera is no longer as brilliant as before. On the contrary, the grassroots art of cross talk has become more and more popular, and it has suddenly become popular.

Seeing the decline of Peking Opera, Jiqingtang's cross talk business is booming instead. Jiqingtang also intends to promote Peking Opera again, so this is why it has unpacked and sealed performances, presenting Peking Opera as the most important program on the stage.

Every year, they rent a venue at the Academy of Chinese Opera for a unified training session, which is considered the annual practice of Jiqingtang.

The appearance of Chen Xi and Han Tianye attracted the attention of some acquainted brothers and sisters. When Chen Xi saw it, he immediately raised his hand to say hello.

At this time, Li Chengyu saw two people appearing and walked over.

"Brother, why are you here?" Seeing Li Chengyu, Chen Xi was also a little surprised.

"I'll take a look at everyone's rehearsal situation, and then choose a few programs to finalize. You also know that this year is the big celebration of our Jiqing Hall." Li Chengyu said with a smile.

With so many people in Jiqing Hall, it is not realistic for everyone to perform a show, so in previous years, the stage performances were arranged according to which disciple worked the hardest and had the most exciting show.

As the head of Jiqingtang, Li Chengyu also spent a lot of thought to ensure the fairness of the performance.

And this year also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Jiqingtang, and the programs presented on the stage must be refined, so he, the head of the family, must come and see it in person.

Chen Xi nodded: "Brother, what show do you like?"

"Still watching."

Li Chengyu didn't answer directly, instead he looked at Chen Xi, thinking of something,

"By the way, if you say that your Peking Opera has inheritance, don't you plan to perform another one this year?"

Hearing this, Chen Xi shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, brother, please forgive me."

Seeing Chen Xi's expression, Han Tianye at the side became interested: "What's going on?"

Li Chengyu immediately laughed when he thought of Chen Xi's show last year, and directly explained Han Tianye's doubts:

"Last year, Chen Xi and Feng Lai performed a piece of "Zhaojun's Exodus". After the show, Chen Xi vowed never to act in Peking Opera again."

Chen Xi sighed, and continued:

"The "Zhaojun Out of the Fortress" we performed is a section where Zhaojun (Da Qingyi) rides a horse and gallops with the horse boy (Wu Sheng). Xu Fenglai pretends to be Zhaojun, and I am the horse boy. The footwork of the trade is all integrated into it, such as big cross legs, big bow legs, big whip, pile mud, and horse riding to round the field, Xu Fenglai has learned Peking Opera Da Qingyi since he was a child, whether it is turning over, lying on the fish, or pulling out the feathers. , but I can’t. Although my grandfather taught me Peking Opera when I was young, it was neglected for a few years, and some of the basic skills were forgotten. It took three months of training before I regained my sense. After I died on the stage, after I stepped off the stage, I plan to never act in Peking Opera again, that is simply not something ordinary people can do." He said, touching his face in embarrassment.

Thinking of his and Xu Fenglai's performance on the stage before, which won applause from the audience, although I feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart, I am really tired.

Hearing this narration, Han Tianye smiled.

In fact, this is a traditional opera artist. Don't look at the short 10 minutes on stage, but often have to pay a lot of hard work off the stage.

"What is this called!"

Li Chengyu looked down on Chen Xi's lazy look,

"Look at all the seniors, apprentices and grandchildren present here who are training hard, and plan to fight for the opportunity to perform on stage this year, but you are still holding back!"

"Brother, you asked me to talk about three or four hours of cross talk, I'm totally fine with it, but you asked me to do a piece of Beijing opera, I'm not a professional, I can't make it at all!" Chen Xi said with a worried face.

"You really want to talk about cross talk this year." Li Chengyu looked at Chen Xi, "Your four teams are so popular, as the captain, you must have a part."

Chen Xi was not surprised at all. The popular actor back then would definitely be in the box. He is so popular now that it would be unreasonable for Ji Qingtang not to let him in.

However, Li Chengyu's next sentence wiped out his happy mood.

"And I'm going to let you do a piece of Peking Opera, let's say "Sanchakou." Li Chengyu felt that it should be more difficult for such a lazy guy.

"Sanchakou" is a classic passage between Wu Sheng and Wu Chou, and it is not at all simpler than that of "Zhaojun's Exodus".

"Sanchakou" is based on "The Romance of the Yang Family", which is a traditional martial arts repertoire of short combat.

During the Song Dynasty, the Yang family killed Jiao Zan and Wang Qinruo’s son-in-law Xie Jinwu was dispatched. He passed through Sanchakou and stayed overnight in a hotel. The owner Liu Lihua fought to save Jiao Zan and Ren Tanghui who came to secretly protect Jiao Zan fought in the middle of the night, and finally the misunderstanding was resolved. , rescued Jiao Zan, and went to three levels together.

The most exciting part of the play is the dark fight between Liu Lihua (Wu Chou) and Ren Tanghui (Wu Sheng).

Actors have to imagine being in a dark room, and then perform.

Because in order to perform virtual performances, the actors have to show that they are close at hand and cannot see each other, and they must also show these subtle movements of hearing, smelling with the nose, and sensing with the hands, which not only tests the martial arts skills of the actors , but also test the acting skills of the actors.

"Senior brother, isn't it difficult for you? "Sanchakou" is so difficult, and most of the wonderful martial arts are all on Wu Chou. Aren't you killing people!" Chen Xi suddenly became anxious.

Chen Xi learned from his grandfather Wu Chou, that is, the buffoon profession, so he naturally knew the character he was going to play in "Sanchakou".

He played the role of a Wusheng horse boy in "Zhaojun's Outing" before, and that was when he was temporarily recruited as a young man. According to the profession taught by his grandfather, he should be a serious Wu Chou.

Although the fight in the dark in "Sanchakou" is two people's cooperation, Wu Chou is still ugly. In addition to martial arts during the performance, he also showed various embarrassment and ugliness.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Chengyu quickly reassured, "Our Ji Qingtang is not specialized in Peking opera after all, we can make a proper adaptation and simplify the martial arts, don't worry, it won't kill you."

"That's difficult enough." Chen Xi wrinkled his face.

"The martial arts student who plays with you, I plan to find a martial arts student from the Academy of Chinese Opera this year. He is also a martial arts student in Peking Opera since elementary school. He has a solid foundation in martial arts, and he is a good match for you..."

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Han Tianye suddenly spoke,

"Brother, since I'm Chen Xi's partner, how about I perform "Sanchakou" with him."

"What?"

"real or fake!"

Chen Xi and Li Chengyu looked at Han Tianye in shock.

"This is not a joke, have you seen "Sanchakou"?" Chen Xi hurriedly asked Xiang Han Tianye.

This guy is crazy, a person who has no background in Peking Opera actually wants to perform "Sanchakou".

"I've seen it, the classic fight in the dark, it should be said that even those who don't know Peking Opera have seen it." Han Tianye shrugged.

"Have you studied Peking Opera before?" Li Chengyu's focus was whether Han Tianye had any background in Peking Opera.

"My grandfather taught me when I was young, and I think with my ingenuity and the acquired skills of mixed martial arts, I should be able to train for three months. Besides, Chen Xi and I are partners, and we have a tacit understanding when we cooperate."

Han Tianye is quite confident, and what he said is that he doesn't need to look for others, just look for him.

Chen Xi was dumbfounded, what kind of crazy is this smoking!

If it's jealousy, it's not the way to eat it. It's the Peking Opera "Sanchakou". If the performance is not good, people will laugh at it, and it may ruin Jiqingtang's reputation.

Li Chengyu looked at Han Tianye and fell into deep thought, and said after a while, "That's fine."

The reason why he agreed was because of what Han Tianye said, "Grandpa taught me when I was young".

You must know that Chen Xi and Han Tianye's two grandfathers are also very interesting. They were partners when they were young, and they also studied Peking Opera.

Chen Xi's grandfather is a buffoon, and Han Tianye's grandfather happens to be a martial artist.

The two were also acting in "Sanchakou" back then.

If it is said who is the most suitable partner to play "Sanchakou" with Chen Xi, it must be Han Tianye.

"what?"

Chen Xi looked at Li Chengyu, and felt that this world was a bit unreal, and his elder brother actually agreed.

"Actually, in "Sanchakou", Wusheng's moves are not as difficult as Wu Chou, as long as he is handsome and looks good. Of course, I am not saying that Wusheng's martial arts are easy. I mean that Han Tianye can try it first, and then in the formal See how it goes during the rehearsal, if possible, he will go, if not, I will find someone else to cooperate with you."

Chen Xi was a little speechless: "Senior brother, you want me to die on stage so much, why don't you just replace me too?"

Li Chengyu laughed loudly, and patted Chen Xi on the shoulder:

"You learn from your partner. In order to be able to perform with you, your partner even took over "Sanchakou". You said that you are embarrassed not to work hard."

Chen Xi: "..."

Following Li Chengyu's words, this year the Jiqing Hall was sealed, and Chen Xi and Han Tianye's Peking Opera program was officially confirmed.
