After that, Zhao Hong went to Teacher Mei's house every Saturday and Sunday to study. Teacher Mei was indeed right.

Zhao Hong learns Peking Opera very quickly. His voice is naturally perfect and he can sing any Peking Opera repertoire perfectly. Also, he has a foundation in acting, so he can learn Peking Opera performances very quickly.

Zhao Hong learned all his acting skills through the system. It can be said that he knows everything about movies, and he is also an expert in this field. How could a director not know about acting!

His current acting skills can be said to be very superb, and can be said to be actor-level acting skills, but he is not participating in the acting. A person's time and energy are limited, and it is enough to do what he likes most in the limited time.

Teacher Mei was even more pleased with Zhao Hong's skills. His physical fitness was so good that he could do any kind of action.

At this time, the advantages of his boxing skills since elementary school were revealed. Now his physical fitness is more than ten times that of ordinary people.

Zhao Hong had no problem switching back and forth between "Xiao Sheng" and "Qing Yi" with this face. Zhao Hong became more and more interested as she learned more.

Even during the vacation this semester, Zhao Hong only made a hurried trip back to Xiangjiang. After staying with her family for two or three days, she went to the capital to continue studying Peking Opera.

Zhao Yazhi came to the capital to stay with him for more than a month. After Zhao Hong studied, the two of them played around. Zhao Yazhi also liked to give herself a holiday in the mainland, where she could interact with Zhao Hong freely. She also lived in

In the courtyard, the relationship between them has become deeper after getting along for the past few years. Now Zhao Hong and she have done everything except the last step, which means that the whole relationship is still a little bit away.

In this way, the holiday has passed, and Zhao Hong's Peking Opera studies are on track. The semester that is about to start is the last semester. Zhao Hong is starting to write the novel "Farewell My Concubine". Through studying Peking Opera, Zhao Hong

It becomes easier to write.

"Farewell My Concubine" is a novel written by contemporary writer Li Bihua. It was first published in June 1985.

The novel is set in Beijing from the 1920s to the 1980s, and tells the story of the love, hatred and hatred between three characters, Cheng Dieyi, Duan Xiaolou and Juxian.

The author uses the background of the times to interpret the emotional entanglement of obsession and betrayal of the little people. At the same time, he uses the complexity and splendor of traditional Liyuan and Peking Opera as the keynote to systematically narrate the love and death between the three of them. Of course, it also has some reflections with the characteristics of the times.

It highlights the powerlessness of little people facing the torrent of history, and also has a certain reflection on human nature.

This novel is an epic story about a villain in a big context.

It mainly tells the story of Dieyi who was forced to cut off the last trace of ties with her mother after she was sold out by her mother to work in a theater troupe.

Without thoughts, he had no choice but to plunge into opera. At this time, Dieyi was not an opera fanatic, and he devoted himself to singing opera just to cover up the emptiness and confusion in his heart after becoming homeless.

Fortunately, I had the blessing of my senior brother Duan Xiaolou on the difficult and helpless growth path. The hardships I suffered as a child and my stubbornness with no one to rely on at a young age were finally moved by my senior brother's careful care.

They grew up together and became famous actors together, and Dieyi's worries grew rapidly day by day.

On the stage, the senior brother is his and Yu Ji's overlord, and his affectionate lover; off the stage, the senior brother is a relative like a brother and a father, and is his last support in this world.

Dieyi naturally regards Xiaolou as an indispensable part of her life, but after getting off the stage and putting on makeup, they are actually brothers who are both men.

Dieyi's heart was not without hesitation and wavering, but one day after performing "Farewell My Concubine" again with his senior brother, he was supported on stage by the theater owner's fawning support. The theater fans almost crazy shouts and applause made him in.

At that moment, I suddenly felt relieved: As long as I can keep singing with my senior brother, it will last forever.

However, the arrival of Juxian gave Dieyi a fatal blow.

Under Juxian's cry, Duan Xiaolou only hesitated for a moment before loudly promising to marry her. Dieyi was heartbroken but could not help his senior brother's decision, so he had to watch the two leave with tears.

It happened that night, because Duan Xiaolou insisted on organizing a wedding to marry Juxian, Dieyi had to go to Yuan Mansion alone for the Hongmen Banquet, and finally lost her virginity to Yuan Shiqing.

When Dieyi left Duan's house overnight with her face full of makeup and lost her soul, she saw the two getting married.

After that, Dieyi learned to smoke cigarettes, and even broke up with his senior brother and reconciled.

Dieyi reluctantly accepted the fact that her senior brother was a husband, but she could not accept Juxian from her heart.

Juxian is good at observing words and expressions. After several interactions, he figured out what Dieyi was thinking.

During the "Carrying Stickers" period, Dieyi went to sing for the Japanese in order to save Xiaolou, but was almost beaten to a pulp and sent to prison.

On the stage, Juxian tried to help the two brothers break up a fight, but was kicked in the stomach during the chaos, causing a miscarriage.

Until Wenha, under the pressure of "rectification", the two exposed each other in an environment that was frequently out of control.

When Duan Xiaolou couldn't stop the car and pointed out the matter between Dieyi and Yuan Shiqing, Dieyi's trust in Duan Xiaolou was completely destroyed at this moment.

At the end of the story, Dieyi and Xiaolou, who are over fifty, meet again on the Hong Kong River.

Talking about the past, Duan Xiaolou revealed in his words that he had understood Dieyi's intentions very early, but he had always been avoiding them. Dieyi got the answer from the other party, and he could no longer deceive himself.

In the end, the two put on makeup and went on stage to sing "Farewell My Concubine", and they never saw each other again.

Zhao Hong has read this novel many times. The novel uses a combination of paragraphs to narrate the life experiences of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou in major historical events such as the warlords' melee, the "Japanese War", the founding of New China, and the clam story.

, which strengthens the impact of historical process on personal destiny.

At the end of the novel, Cheng Dieyi unexpectedly reunited with Duan Xiaolou in Hong Kong. The old Yu Ji, the overlord with a bad voice, returned to the stage to sing "Farewell My Concubine".

After the play was over, Cheng Dieyi just pushed himself up, dusted himself off, and then went back with the group.

Compared with the plot of drawing a sword and killing oneself in the movie, the ending of the novel reveals more of the despair and helplessness of secularization.

Dieyi's life is undoubtedly tragic. His body condenses the history of blood and tears of the alternation between the old and the new society.

Both the novel and the movie are very exciting, so Zhao Hong doesn't dare to write casually. If he can't inherit it perfectly, it will be the biggest loss.

This is why Zhao Hong wants to learn Peking Opera herself. The novel itself is very delicately written. Zhao Hong just made the novel more masculine, made the daily life of Peking Opera more real and natural, and also described the atmosphere of life in Beijing.

More natural.

Just for this reason, Zhao Hong read all the books in the Tsinghua Library that described the capital during the Republic of China period.

Zhao Hong wrote this novel from the beginning of this semester to the time of graduation. Zhao Hong spent a lot of energy on it. He made several revisions of the novel, focusing on the details of Peking Opera life.

He asked Teacher Mei to help him think about it and strive for perfection. He did not stop writing until there was nothing he could change. During this period, Zhao Hong and his sister Zhao Yingying urged him to draft the manuscript several times, but Zhao Hong remained unmoved.
