Today is Xu Rong's first time watching Chi Xiaoqiu's play. Before, he often went straight to Guojing to see the play. He didn't understand the market, so he instinctively felt that the overall standard of Guojing should be higher than

Beijing Peking Opera Theater.

Watching Chi Xiaoqiu walk to the stage, Xu Rong slowly sat up straight. He really didn't expect that an ordinary middle-aged woman would be so stunning when she changed into her outfit, not only her appearance, but also her appearance.

When she appeared on stage, she walked lightly and had a graceful figure.

Looking at the cheerful Chi Xiaoqiu on the stage, Xu Rong couldn't help but think of the words "Move the lotus steps lightly, the old winds of the Han Palace fly swallows" appeared in Xu Rong's mind. In the past, it was difficult for him to form a specific concept of this poem in his mind.

It's somewhat vague now.

Chi Xiaoqiu's voice is very distinctive. He saw her today at noon. Her voice is relatively normal, but the singing voice at this time uses a resonant tone based on the falsetto, which makes her sound like a male dancer.

This is a typical feature of Cheng style singing, but there is a hint of thickness in the male dan's resonant voice and the female dan's voice, which are two completely different styles.

Until then, Xu Rong understood why Pu Cunxi, Ren Ming and others looked like perverts this morning.

No normal man can refuse Cheng Pai's flirtation.

Through the control of the volume of the voice, the control of the strength of the breath and the use of a variety of breaths, Cheng Pai fully embodies the feminine beauty of women. If only this is the only thing

I'm afraid it would be difficult to attract the fascination of male audiences. The morbid feminine beauty will only make the audience worry about whether the actor will die on stage in the next second.

In Xu Rong's view, Cheng Yanqiu's most impressive innovation lies in the use of resonance, which means Cheng style singing sounds slightly "rough". This tone makes Cheng style singing unique among soft melodies.

The strong spirit fully embodies the characteristics of "softness with strength, strength and softness at the same time", which is in line with the image of a "chaste and martyr woman" in traditional culture.

In daily life, women who speak in this tone are often young women. Not only a young woman, but also a young woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

A young woman in her prime.

Regardless of whether such a woman exists in reality, a young woman or a married woman with so many characteristics can be devastating to men.

He turned his head and looked around half a circle. 80% of the people in the theater were men. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Mei Shang and Cheng Xun understood men. The genre they created included the cold lady in the male role, the heroic girl, the worried young woman, the lively young lady.

Lolita has been pushed to the extreme, and Cheng Pai's unique melancholy and dignified singing voice adds a unique charm to "Sorrowful Young Wife" to arouse the male's strong impulse of love and conquest.

"Xue Liang asks me for a question."

"Listening to Xue Liang's words of advice, my arrogance melted away."

"The warmth and warmth of human relationships are created by heaven, and no one can move them even an inch."

"I am not as good as her, she is hungry and cold and I am delicate"

"good."

Listening to the cheers in the theater and looking at the flash of reluctance on Chi Xiaoqiu's face on the stage, Xu Rong couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment on her face.

There seemed to be something wrong with her breathing.

The word "Xue Liang" was about to rise in tone, and she also rose in tone, but she lost her previous ease.

She seemed to be aware of her own problem and took a breath before rising into the tone, but this was tantamount to drinking poison to quench her thirst.

Chi Xiaoqiu's talent should be top-notch, and her singing skills can also be seen from her singing skills. Her habits show that this sentence was very easy for her in the past, but for some other reasons,

As a result, her current basic skills cannot support her physiological foundation.

Xu Rong looked at Chi Xiaoqiu on the stage and felt a little bit regretful. It is true that when a person reaches a high place, the scenery is infinite, but it is also true that he will be shattered into pieces when he takes a step back.

Cheng School was founded by Cheng Yanqiu, which mainly uses falsetto and supplemented by real voice.

The congenital conditions of men and women are different. Men's vocal cords are naturally broad and vibrate at a lower frequency, so their voices are thicker, while women's are just the opposite.

However, due to the confinement of feudal ideas, all the female actors in the past were men, such as Mei Shang and Cheng Xun. Their gender determined that their vocal cords were wider than those of ordinary women, and their unique conditions made them more "thin" than men.

voice".

The endowment of men determines that their core strength far exceeds that of women, which means they have more Dantian Qi, which is often said in the opera industry.

Opera often talks about "Dantian Qi", which is abdominal breathing in modern performance theory. Xu Rong didn't understand why opera practitioners always like to make simple and easy-to-understand techniques and concepts confusing and blabbering, like

The real voice, falsetto voice, and resonance voice that he learned in vocal music lessons are called big voice, small voice, and back of the head voice in Peking Opera.

The essence of "Qi comes out of the Dantian, and the combination of the small and large voices and the sounds at the back of the head form the unique singing style of the Cheng School" is "based on abdominal breathing, the combination of true and false voices, and making full use of resonance is the singing method of the Cheng School", but

The difficulty of understanding the two is not at the same level. Opera has not been standardized, standardized and widely circulated. These pretentious characterizations cannot be exempted from the blame.

Even today, some opera practitioners still ignore scientific facts and deny that "Qi in the Dantian" is abdominal breathing, and still insist on the anti-scientific statement that "Qi comes from the Dantian".

Cheng Yanqiu's singing style was tailor-made according to his own characteristics. Thanks to his strong basic skills and good innate talent, this unique singing style is like eating and drinking to him, but it is not very friendly to female dandies.

First of all, its "soft and gentle" feature requires actors to have strong core strength, maintain precise control of breath, and ensure that it is high when it should be high and low when it should be low.

Secondly, the characteristics of "the lotus root is broken and connected" and "if broken and then continued" require ventilation. When stealing breath, the actor must use extremely strong lung capacity and core strength as support.

The physiological structure of the human vocal cords is not static. After adolescence, as the age increases, the vocal cords will gradually relax, the elasticity will weaken and even gaps will appear, resulting in a reduction in the frequency of vibration. In order to maintain pitch, actors perform

A stronger breath must be given, which in turn intensifies the pressure on the core strength and breath.

Compared with male dan, female dan has no advantage in the most distinctive features of Cheng style singing.

He looked at Chi Xiaoqiu on the stage, quietly took out his cell phone, and checked Chi Xiaoqiu's information.

After a quick glance, he raised his eyebrows. If Chi Xiaoqiu didn't change his singing style, he might not be able to maintain even the most basic dignity after October of the following year.

She was born in October 1965, and she would be 49 years old in October 2014, which was also the last major point in the cliff-like decline of female physiological functions.

"Nei Jing - Ancient Innocence Theory" says: Qiqi, the Ren pulse is weak, the Taichong pulse is weak, the Tiangui is exhausted, and the tunnel is blocked, so the body is bad and childless. That is, according to the law of big data, when a woman reaches the age of 49, because

With the decline of Qi and blood, various physiological functions will decline significantly compared to the past, even fertility, including but not limited to lung capacity, core strength and even the physiological structure of the vocal cords.

The point at which a woman's physiological function declines at the age of 49 is not absolute. Depending on the results of her health regimen, it may be a year or a half earlier or later.

This is also the reason why he keeps wolfberry and red dates in his hands all year round. Men's physiological functions decline significantly for the first time around the age of 40. He is not greedy and will be satisfied if he can postpone it for eight years.

But judging from Chi Xiaoqiu's current situation, her health care results are obviously mediocre. She is only 47 years old now. As a professional actor and a representative of the Cheng Pai, her physiological functions have declined to the point where she has difficulty even singing high notes.

There are several reasons, either congenital physical weakness, overwork the day after tomorrow, or miscarriage or failure to sit properly during confinement.

In fact, it is not troublesome to solve the problem. Just stop being obsessed with the so-called "Cheng School".

Mei Shang, Cheng and Xun each have their own characteristics, just like the experience and performance of drama each have their own strengths, but no actor would pat his chest and say that he is an absolute experientialist or expressionist.

That is ignorant talk from a layman.

Western actors are all typical pragmatists, regardless of their school of thought, whatever is easy to use, but domestic actors are relatively more "hypocritical". They claim to be experientialists every day, but in fact, emotional memory, emotions

It is easier to replace one than the other.

But no matter what, film and television actors have one thing in common: their mouths are restricted by schools of thought, but their bodies are extremely honest.

Chi Xiaoqiu is just the opposite. Not only is she restricted by the "Cheng faction", but she is also restricted to death.

Looking at Chi Xiaoqiu on the stage, he suddenly remembered another national quintessence, traditional martial arts.

In traditional martial arts, there is a saying that boxing is afraid of young people, and the Cheng style is roughly the same. This kind of singing method relies heavily on physical conditions. Once the physiological function severely declines, no matter how much experience you have, it will be in vain.

With Chi Xiaoqiu's background in Peking Opera, if he could find a singing style that best suited his physiological conditions, it would be impossible to reach the heights of Mei Shang and Cheng Xun, but he would not make a fool of himself on stage.

But he estimated that it was unlikely. Everything she had today was brought about by the "Cheng Clan". If she took the initiative to cut off from the "Cheng Clan", given the intensity of the internal fighting within the Cheng Clan, she would probably die immediately.

The reason why Xu Rong could see the problem with Chi Xiaoqiu was that he had started researching the localization of pronunciation and pronunciation since two years ago. As an important part of the lines, breath and voice were also his focus.

Unfortunately, there was no suitable experimental material around him. The only one who was interested, Wang Lei, did not dare to touch it after getting to know it a little bit.

If Chi Xiaoqiu is willing to try, it is his duty as a master uncle!

"good."

"good."

After singing the song, looking at Chi Xiaoqiu bowing towards the audience and leaving the stage, Xu Rong clapped her hands and thought of herself. If one day her performance declined due to objective reasons, would she still insist on performing on stage?

Xu Rong didn't move after the show ended. He barely listened to the scene. From Chi Xiaoqiu's state, he thought of himself again.

Do you want to develop a method that only you can use, or is it a technique that every film and television practitioner can learn?

For the time being, he chose the former.

He hasn't studied it himself yet, so how can he have time to consider others? Furthermore, whether others can learn from it is none of his business.

"Puyuan."

"Hey, Xiao Lei, why are you here too?"

"I came here with Captain Xu."

Only then did Pu Cunxi notice Xu Rong. He saw him looking at the stage blankly and said, "Hey, hey, don't be in a daze. Everyone has left."

Xu Rong suddenly came back to his senses and said: "Ah, oh, it's over?!"

On the way out of the theater, Pu Cunxi looked at Xu Rong with his head lowered and said nothing, and said, "Don't think nonsense. Even though he is more than twenty years older than you, he still cares about the younger generation."

Xu Rong suddenly raised his head. After getting rid of all the questions about his choice, another doubt appeared in his mind: Is his level really as bad as Shang Changrong said?

He is just a beginner in the Peking Opera industry, but in the big industry of acting, he can be regarded as half an authority. Compared with Chi Xiaoqiu, he feels that there may be a gap between him and others, but the gap is definitely visible.

"What did you just say?" Xu Rong looked at Pu Cunxi in confusion, "I didn't pay attention. After watching Xiao Chi's performance, I felt that I wasn't as bad as I thought."

"Xiao, Xiaochi?" Pu Cunxi almost couldn't breathe, but after thinking for a few seconds, he found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Xu Rong's title.
