Chapter 427 Taiping

Street lights stood quietly on both sides of the cold road. Xu Rong drove the car and listened to the family sitting in the back row chatting aimlessly, and his restless mood slowly calmed down.

In the past, his few memories of traditional opera were probably the stages at temple fairs during festivals. He had no exact impression of how many temple fairs he had, but he had never heard of a complete play, because

There are so many fun and beautiful things at the temple fair, such as placing a circle or watching an old man telling fortunes in the next village after having a meal. These are more interesting than watching a play. The most attractive thing at the temple fair,

The only thing is the closed, tightly sealed shed, which looks like a yurt but is much larger. It is said that it is acrobatics, which is different from the stage where you can see it for a long time by moving a stool. You have to buy tickets when you watch acrobatics.

Even after many years, he still clearly remembers that after following his fellow villagers sneaked into the greenhouse where he was playing acrobatics, he realized that what he was playing was not acrobatics at all, but a body art exhibition that made people blush and his ears and heart beat faster.

But at that time, he never expected that watching the show would be such a tormenting experience.

Although his body sat in the theater for the past three hours, his mind was as restless as if he had drunk ten cups of coffee.

So Teacher Zhi once gave a piece of advice to young people who are engaged in performing: Young people should not learn traditional opera.

The basis of traditional opera is programmatic, that is, "establishing a certain standard of law", that is, there must be certain norms in performance, which are permeated with "singing, reciting, doing, and hitting" and "hands, eyes, and bodies.

, method, step, etc., such as the simpler body movement of "mounting a horse", the performance scales of each industry vary. A general is like riding a horse. The movement of a horse is large and the legs are raised to show the spirit of a general.

, The civil servants are like riding a dog, the height of the lifting legs is moderate, and the movement amplitude is moderate, so as to express the elegant temperament of the literati. The horse is like stepping on a turtle, and the height of the lifting legs is almost close to the ground, and the movement amplitude is small, so to express the feminine beauty of women

.

Although opera has the saying "a program that changes ever-changing", proving that its highest pursuit is the same as film and television drama performance, its method is very different from film and television drama with "reality" as the core.

The typical characteristics of opera "walking around the world in three or five steps, six or seven people and millions of soldiers, and a thousand years of careers in an instant, and the abbot's land and the country." are more contrary to the "three laws" and "fourth wall" principle of drama.

Three-one requires that the creation of dramas be consistent between time, place and plot, that is, the story told in a play takes place within one day or one day and night, the location is in a scene, and the plot obeys a theme.

The fourth wall refers to the realistic interior scene on the frame stage, with three walls, and a non-existent wall along the entrance of the stage, which is regarded as the "fourth wall" to separate the actors from the audience, so as to make the

The actors forget the audience's existence as much as possible.

Compared with other Western dramas, traditional opera is similar to the popular Apple products today. Its comprehensiveness, virtuality and programmatic characteristics run through all levels of the Four Practices and Five Methods, and is completely self-organized and difficult to learn from.

"Grandpa, parents, how about it? Today's drama is OK, right?" Xu Rong smiled and looked at the crowd from the rearview mirror. "I heard that Geng Qichang and Li Weikang sang better in this drama, but they

Now that I won’t be on stage, in another half a month, I will say that there will be a match between Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu. Then Xiao Zhang will take you to see you."

"Haha, she is not happy to come. When she went back to watch the show with me, she either ran out for a long time and couldn't find anyone, or she slept from beginning to end."

The father-in-law smiled and explained, "Young people don't love this now. They like to go to concerts and dance."

Grandpa looked at Xu Rong's back and said, "Yes, let's not talk about that. In the past, when there were temple fairs, the vast crowds were all people. I couldn't find any empty space to go later, but in the past few years

,The audience is all old men and women watching the show, and no one has listened to the show."

"Not all, I think there are a few who are about the same age as our Xiao Xu."

"yes."

Xu Rong heard the car suddenly quiet, took over the conversation, and said slowly: "Actually, I think there are two things we don't like to watch dramas now. One is that the pace of life is too fast. Not to mention watching dramas, it's just

Even watching TV series can't be played twice as quickly as possible. How can I appreciate this kind of drama that can turn three turns in one sentence? Secondly, the idea is different. Nowadays, young people talk about freedom and money first, while opera seems to be talking about fairy tales.

Stories, such as the filial piety promoted in "Fishing Golden Beetle", the etiquette and righteousness promoted in "Chicang Town", the loyalty and faithfulness promoted in "The Case of the Chopping of Beauty", the wisdom in "The Association of Heroes", and the loyalty and righteous culture in "Meeting the Dragon Robe of the Back"

Wait, it can be said that opera can't keep up with the times, both in form and content."

"Look, aren't there anyone who listens to the opera? It's very clear."

"Hahaha."

After returning home, Xu Rong helped his grandfather into the room and was about to go out to go upstairs, his grandfather stopped him and asked, "You have nothing urgent, right?"

Xu Rong turned his head, looked at the old man in confusion, and asked, "No, what's wrong?"

The old man pointed to the wooden chair opposite and said, "You are busy day by day, not your head, and your feet are not your feet. Let's talk to me."

"That Jin Fangfang is not an ordinary woman." As soon as Xu Rong's butt was touched by the chair, his grandfather's words made him feel excited.

In the middle of the night, my grandfather left him behind and told him that Jin Fangfang would not be for no reason.

He laughed dryly and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he said nothing, because he and Jin Fangfang were just pure cooperative relationships, and there was nothing to defend himself.

"I'm not saying what Jin Fangfang is doing, but there are too many women around me. If it were not easy to support children, I would have lost my life if I had a headache and fever. In order to continue the family line, it is legal for men to have three wives and four concubines to be polite.

But now it is illegal and not polite. Besides, Xiao Zhang has nothing to say to you. Go and ask, whose wife is willing to serve her parents-in-law? Not to mention my grandfather who is not close to me, I am old.

But she is not stupid. She is willing to serve me. It is for your sake. Before you do something to be sorry for her outside, it is best to ask if you are kind enough to ask if you are right. These words are not easy for others to follow you.

Say, but you have to be a sensible person in your heart.”

Xu Rong responded, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Grandpa paused and asked, "I see, you are like a monkey with a hot butt tonight. Are you worried?"

Xu Rong shook his head instinctively, looked at his grandfather and smiled. He also smiled, and lit it twice, saying, "It's a little bit, but it's not particularly important."

Grandpa nodded gently and said, "You bullied you by the little guy. You never said a word to me. Now that you have grown up, you still haven't changed at all. No matter how much hardship or fatigue you have suffered outside, you will be home all the time.

It's a good thing, you are afraid that I am worried, and Xiao Zhang is worried. You think that when we know, we will only worry about being unable to sleep, and it will not work. But you have to know that you can hide it from others, you really think

Can you hide it from me or Xiao Zhang?"

Xu Rong heard Xiao Zhang talk about some of his little habits in his life, and even the emotions covered by some tone. He didn't feel strange about his grandfather's irritability and said, "Actually it's not really.

Please, you used to always say that Li Xuejian and Chen Baoguo's play was good. I also made this job. Of course, the goal was to surpass them. But recently I found that maybe when I reach their height, I might be in my fifties.

”

The old man listened quietly. Influenced by traditional thinking, he rarely praised Xu Rong in person, but he was always satisfied with the energy in his heart.

Most of those who know Xu Rong think he is steady and down-to-earth, but such a steady and down-to-earth person has greater ambitions and greater ambitions than an unstable person. However, the steadfast and taciturn he shows is

It is a process to realize ambitions and ambitions.

The elderly are not very knowledgeable and have only been to private schools for a few years, but understand that people who have always realized their lofty ambitions either keep silent or shout slogans are never "ambition" itself, because ambitions are often self-interested, while slogans are often altruistic.

.

He did not interrupt him. As Xu Rong became busier, the chances of the grandfather and grandson chatting like this were fewer and fewer.

"I heard many seniors say they have benefited a lot from dramas, but my eyes were almost sore today, and I didn't think there was anything to learn from."

The old man pondered for a while and said, "I often hear Xiao Zhang say that acting is a skill. I don't know where the technology is. But since some people act well and some people act badly, there must be some tricks, but I

I have something to ask you, what did you tell me about this drama today?"

Xu Rong opened his mouth, and the focus of his attention was not on the plot.

When the old man saw that he couldn't answer for a long time, he said, "Look at you, and said you went to see the show, but you didn't even understand what the show said, and you still hope to learn something?"

Xu Rong hesitated and defended: "I actually don't want to learn this."

"I don't know if what I said is right. What is your idea like? It's like seeing other people's corn grows better, so I took a handful of corn seeds and studied it over and over again to figure out how much it has applied.

Fat, how much water was poured, and when did it be used, that wouldn't work at all. On the other hand, you go to learn other people's plays, but in the end you don't even understand what the plays were told, and you still want to learn something.

It's too much to take it for granted."

Seeing Xu Rong no longer defended, the old man said, "You think the play you act is different from the play they act, but I think it is the same. You are all telling stories. Since they are telling stories, who can tell them clearly.

, I will listen to anyone who speaks interestingly."

"But what about you, since you meditated, jumping up and down like an ant on a hot pan, scratching your ears and heads, and wishing you could jump to the stage. What can you learn?!"

Xu Rong nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time, he felt that his grandfather was standing and talking without any pain in his back.

It is generally equivalent to starting with "put aside the facts" before the speech.

"Since others say that they can learn something, they must be able to learn it. If it really doesn't work, just take a break."

"Um."

Xu Rong responded, and he felt that this sentence suddenly came to his heart. Others can do it, but he must do it. It is an attitude of reconciliation and reluctance, and "just take a break" is an open-mindedness after seeking it, which is also

His life creed has always been regretful, but he will never regret it.

"Go back and sleep."

"Okay, you can rest early, too."

Xu Rong closed the door lightly. At this moment, a strange thought suddenly appeared in his heart. If his biological parents did not abandon him, what kind of person would he become?

But after all, there is no if.

"Click."

He turned off the lights casually and went upstairs.

The next morning, Xu Rong had something to eat and hurried out.

And at 7:30 pm, he dragged his tired body to the theater again.

It's a little different from yesterday. Today he didn't bring a laptop, nor did he have to learn some determination and urgency.

When he came here today, he did not impose any tasks on himself, nor did he even specify when he would go home, and watched a show with the most relaxed and entertaining attitude.
