Republic of China: With the support of the veteran actor system, it is invincible

The show was a blast from the start!

"I am Qiao Xuan, a native of Jiangdong!"

"He had no sons, but two daughters. The eldest, Da Qiao, was married to Sun Ce, but died young because he was establishing his empire."

"The second daughter, Xiao Qiao, married Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu was appointed Admiral of the Navy!"

"Although I am a relative of the emperor and hold a high position in the Three Palaces, I do not inquire into the affairs of the court. I am just following the crowd. Let's not talk about this for now."

"Yesterday, when I came home from court, I saw lanterns hanging in every house and colorful decorations everywhere. The people in the city were all talking to each other. I wondered what was going on."

Lin Mu sat upright on the chair, his voice rising and falling as he recited, but the rhythm was so strong that people couldn't help but listen carefully.

A thousand words are worth four ounces of singing!

This is no joke!

Look at those amateur Peking Opera performers. Ask them to go on stage and sing a piece. They can all sing very well, almost as well as the professionals!

However, if you ask them to say a few lines, they will be exposed immediately!

Because when you sing, there is a band accompanying you. To put it bluntly, someone is leading you.

However, reciting the lines depends entirely on your own voice. Not only do you need to have a strong grasp of the rhythm, but you also need to have a deep understanding of the prosody of each word!

For a Peking Opera actor, it is very difficult to achieve the following: pronounce words clearly and pronounce voice loudly!

Why are many actors in later generations criticized for not being able to understand their lines clearly? It is because their pronunciation is not correct, so their voices are not round.

Peking Opera actors pay attention to clear pronunciation. The beginning, middle and end of the word must be read and sung out loud. This is called correct pronunciation!

Once your handwriting is straight, your tone will naturally become rounder!

After the system rewarded Lin Mu with the singing styles of so many masters, he has already had a deep understanding of this point.

Especially after learning Cheng Yanqiu's singing skills, Lin Mu's pronunciation improved dramatically!

Cheng Yanqiu's Cheng style Qingyi is completely different from the three schools of Mei, Shang and Xun, and it doesn't even resemble the singing style of Qingyi.

However, you cannot deny that Cheng Yanqiu's understanding of vocal music is no less than Mei Lanfang's.

Pronunciation is like a cat catching a mouse. It must not kill it immediately, but catch it while keeping it alive. Only in this way can the content be expressed and the artistic charm be retained.

After gaining a deep understanding of Cheng School's singing style, Lin Mu felt that he was definitely among the top three in the opera industry in terms of singing skills alone.

"Cangtou, come here, I have something to ask you!"

Lin Mu shouted, and the clown butler who had come up secretly from the side came over!

"My Lord, would you like some tea?"

The cangtou interrupted with a trembling look.

"I have something to say!"

"Hang the painting? The painting is already hung!"

"Words of speech!"

"Does the Prime Minister have anything to say?"

Wow, the two of them were talking about one thing and another, just like the crosstalk "Learning to be Deaf and Mute", making the audience in the audience laugh!

The role of the clown on the opera stage is to make jokes and comedic remarks.

The main thing is that a play can be as short as one hour or as long as three to five hours, and even scripted plays can be performed for several months.

If everything were rigid and serious, people would feel aesthetically fatigued, so occasionally a few clowns would tell a few jokes to change the mood of the fans.

Qiao Xuan asked the housekeeper why there were lights and decorations outside. The housekeeper said that it was because Liu Bei from Jingzhou came to marry Sun Shangxiang.

Qiao Xuan was shocked when he heard this. Although he did not care about state affairs, as a state elder, he did not even know about such a big thing.

So, Qiao Xuan hurriedly asked the housekeeper to go out and find out carefully when the wedding would be held!

The old man has stepped down!

The door curtain was lifted, and Meng Xiaodong and Ye Shenglan walked out one after another!

Seeing these three people on the same stage, the audience cheered again.

"My king and his ministers were uneasy when they arrived in Dongwu—"

"Like a bird in the sky flying into a cage—"

"I hate Zhou Lang's vicious plan to kill me—"

"Even with wings, it's hard to fly—"

Meng Xiaodong's four lines of Xipi Yaoban perfectly reflect Liu Bei's anxious mood at that time!

Liu Bei in this play does not have the bearing of a king at all. After all, he had just suffered a great defeat, and even his wife died on the battlefield. It can be said that Liu Bei's faith in Taoism was broken by Cao Cao!

In addition, Liu Bei was forced by Zhuge Liang to come to Jiangdong to marry, so he could be said to be very resentful at this time!

"Fourth brother, you and I have crossed the river to come to Dongwu. It's like a bird in a cage, sitting on pins and needles. How can we deal with this?"

Meng Xiaodong looked at Ye Shenglan with a distressed look on her face and spoke.

Ye Shenglan plays Zhao Yun, who is full of courage and determination. He cups his hands and says,

"My Lord: Before I left, you gave me three brocade bags and told me to open the first one when I arrived in Dongwu."

Taking out the brocade bag, Meng Xiaodong took it and looked at it, muttering,

"Good or bad marriage, don't take marriage lightly. When the king and his ministers come to Dongwu, they must pay a visit to Qiao Xuan's house—"

Meng Xiaodong recited the last sentence in a high-pitched voice like clouds.

"My lord, who is this Qiao Xuan?"

"This man is the father of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the father-in-law of Sun Ce and Zhou Lang, and quite knowledgeable. If you want me to visit him, you must have some instructions. Fourth brother, prepare a generous gift and accompany me to visit General Qiao."

"As ordered!"

The two of them walked around in front of Lin Mu. Because the stage itself was not big, when Meng Xiaodong walked around, she almost touched Lin Mu. However, Lin Mu looked as if he couldn't see her and squinted his eyes.

The so-called legs for singing and mouth for storytelling!

These two are the fastest!

The storyteller is quick-witted, and with just one sentence, “Summer goes and spring comes,” a year has passed!

The actors have fast legs, so they can just walk around the stage in a circle and reach the destination no matter how far away it is!

"I'm already here, who's at the door?"

The old man came out to answer and learned that it was Liu Bei who came to visit. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Since he came to visit, he didn't have to go out and ask!

Hearing that Liu Bei was coming, Qiao Xuan naturally did not dare to be arrogant. He opened the middle door wide and played music to welcome him.

In ancient times, this was the greatest etiquette!

You should know that the main door of an official's house in ancient times would not be opened easily. The middle door would only be opened when the owner came in or when an important guest came. At other times, no matter who it was, they had to enter through the side door!

Opening the door wide and welcoming with dynamic music, this is definitely the highest level of etiquette!

Lin Mu came out to greet Meng Xiaodong and Ye Shenglan, and brought them into the mansion and arranged for them to sit down!

There was nothing special about this scene, it was just a pure greeting. A gift list was presented. Qiao Xuan didn't want to accept it at first, but the old man took it directly!

Seeing that the gift had been delivered, Liu Bei took Zhao Yun and said goodbye and left!

When the two left, Lin Mu suddenly widened his eyes and scolded,

"You slave, Uncle Liu gave me such a generous gift, and you boldly accepted it before I even asked for it. What's the reason?"

The old man laughed and said,

"Lord Qi: Uncle Liu is related to our Eastern Wu, so he is our honored guest. If you don't accept his gift, it will be embarrassing for him."

Although he said so, Lin Mu still hesitated, shook his head and said,

"It's just such a generous gift, I don't deserve it!"

"How difficult is that? When you enter the palace, just say a few good words for him in front of the Queen Mother, and you'll have it."

Hearing this, Lin Mu also smiled and said,

"I am on my way to see the Queen Mother. I have ordered a sedan chair to be prepared outside."

Now that we have the steps to go down, we can accept this gift!

If you accept a gift, you have to do the job. Qiao Xuan is a pretty good person!
