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

As a veteran in the opera industry, I know Mei Lanfang very well!

Although this person looks gentle and has a weak temperament, he will never give in when it comes to Peking Opera.

Looking at the long-lost fire in Mei Lanfang's eyes, Yang Xiaolou could only mourn for his apprentice in his heart!

If Lin Mu used old men to fight, Yang Xiaolou would still have some confidence, but Lin Mu actually said that he would use young clothes to challenge, which was simply courting death!

Even the media in Shanghai did not give much coverage to Lin Mu's Qingyi performance in Shanghai. They just thought that Lin Mu was occasionally performing a cross-dressing role to give back to his fans!

Therefore, the actors in the capital didn’t even know that Lin Mu could sing Qingyi!

……

Shanghai's rising star Lin Mu vs. Beijing's Peking Opera giant Mei Lanfang.

The news spread throughout the capital that day.

"Lin Mu, who is it?"

"Who is this Lin Mu? How dare he challenge Mei Lang? He must be crazy!"

"I heard that Lin Mu is a southern-style old-style actor, very popular in Shanghai and Tianjin!"

"No, I heard he's also a Qingyi actor, and this time he came here specifically to challenge Boss Mei!"

"Don't guess, let me tell you, this Lin Mu is indeed an old male actor, but the role he challenged Boss Mei for is the Qingyi role, which means that this Lin Mu can also sing Qingyi."

"What the hell? Two-door embracing! Damn, what's the point? It's a losing game! I'm too lazy to even watch it!"

"According to gossip, this Lin Mu is actually the younger apprentice of the Winter Emperor. This time, his family is here to seek justice for my senior sister!"

"What? He's the junior brother of the Winter Emperor. Is that so exciting? I don't care. This time I have to support Lin Mu!"

"Tsk, Meng Xiaodong is not worthy of Mei Lang at all. It's normal for her to be dumped. She still has the nerve to ask for help. Bah, Mei Lang will definitely win this time. A little brat from Shanghai, who sings Lao Sheng, is probably here just to disgust Mei Lang!"

For a time, the entire opera industry in the capital was in an uproar!

The Kai Ming Theater and the Zhonghua Theater were both on high alert.

The two theaters are located directly opposite each other and are of similar size, making them perfect for this competition!

"Farewell My Concubine"!

In 1922, Mei Lanfang performed Farewell My Concubine for the first time, with Yang Xiaolou playing the role of Overlord.

At that time, Mei Lanfang made major changes to the content of the play, highlighting the role of Yu Ji!

Even because Mei Lanfang was so popular, after Yu Ji committed suicide, the fans all left the theater, which made Yang Xiaolou, who still had a long part of the show to perform, very embarrassed!

So later, Mei Lanfang simply deleted the following scenes, and the play ended abruptly at the moment when Yu Ji committed suicide.

Nowadays, most of the "Farewell My Concubine" are based on Mei Lanfang's routine!

The role of Overlord has many roles!

From the earliest Hualian, to the later Wusheng, to the current Laosheng, he can also play it!

Of course, the actor’s styling must be good, after all, not everyone can have the demeanor of a king!

In the Zhonghua Theater, Yang Xiaolou was instructing Meng Xiaodong on her scaffolding!

Although Meng Xiaodong can sing Overlord, she didn’t sing it often and was not proficient in it!

Especially her demeanor. If it were Meng Xiaodong before she came to Shanghai, she would never have been able to play Overlord!

However, since training with Lin Mu in Shanghai, Meng Xiaodong's martial arts skills have improved greatly.

Especially after Lin Mu taught her the plum blossom stance, her waist and leg skills improved even more!

When Yang Xiaolou saw Lin Mu in costume, his eyes immediately lit up!

He also didn't expect that his old disciple would be so pleasing to the eye after dressing up as a Qingyi!

But when Lin Mu opened his mouth, Yang Xiaolou was stunned!

Lin Mu's singing style is similar to Cheng Fei Cheng, his voice is clear and penetrating, his pronunciation is clear and accurate, and there is not a single flaw to be found!

After listening to a while, Yang Xiaolou turned around and left!
