The gentleman shook his head and said otherwise.
In the past, according to the rules of Lingxing, the most valuable characters on the stage were somersaults. Generally, they were new martial arts students who were new to the stage. They had little experience and could not talk, so they started with somersaults. , and become familiar with the audience.
The flowers are full of flowers, full of enthusiasm, but not chewy. On the stage, it is just a lively performance.
If you want to see martial arts, you can go to Dashilar in the capital. If you want to see acrobatics, it is better to go to Cangzhou Wuqiao.
There are many people playing tricks, embroidering their legs, holding bowls on their foreheads, and breaking big rocks on their chests. If you save a few copper coins, you can watch it all day long.
The gentleman took out two silver coins from his purse, knocked them lightly, made a soft sound, and placed them on the table in front of him.
"Those sixteen somersaults, the hard work of working hard, is worth two oceans, but it is nothing more than hard work. If you want to win a good reputation, you have to endure it."
At that time, Cao Xuan didn’t know much about the theater.
But the teacher also aroused his interest.
Liyuan, like calligraphy and painting, is also an incredible industry with a huge income gap between the rich and the poor.
He had vaguely seen similar descriptions in the newspaper, and the teacher’s metaphor of two oceans went too far.
This kind of somersault-turning little martial artist can survive until he can become famous and sing.
Often you can only get half an ocean a month, which is no more than an ocean salary, which is worse than the last luthier waiting to play the piano.
That’s it, I also want to thank those pillars in the pear garden.
Because this piece of work, half a piece of ocean work, is given to you by the seniors to eat, not earned by you. You have to rely on you to sell tickets, so everyone in the team will drink the northwest wind and starve. dead.
As for the great master Mei Lanfangmei, the theater company offered him a sky-high salary of 2,000 yuan as early as 20 years ago.
Attention.
It’s 2,000 pieces of silver ocean every month, not every year.
Boss Mei even once won the title of "Mei Half City" in the newspaper.
This time the Southern Painting School holds a commemorative exhibition, we invite Tongxin Society, which happens to be performing in Shanghai, to perform.
One performance only costs the troupe appearance fee, not counting rewards. Southern The Painting and Calligraphy Association just threw away thousands of dollars like water in the ocean, and it was Yang Xiaolou who gave him face that he was willing to perform.
The difference in treatment between famous actors and ordinary actors is like a chasm between heaven and earth.
"Even if he doesn't know how to do somersaults, Yang Xiaolou can earn hundreds of times the income of an ordinary child just by wandering a few steps without blushing, panting, or sweating. Those few steps are really hundreds of times better than someone else's somersaults."
Young Cao Xuan squinted at the interlacing figures on the stage, still teasing in his tone.
Pa
"Why do you call him Yang Xiaolou uneducated? Boss Yang, Mr. Yang?"born. "
He was hit on the forehead unceremoniously by the gentleman with a folding fan.
"Why don't you accept this and allow this full house of guests to sell a painting and write a poem? The calligraphy is dozens or hundreds of times the retouching fee of the down-and-out scholar who sells calligraphy and painting, writes letters, and ghostwrites couplets at Panjiayuan Liulichang. He is not allowed to practice his voice hard since he was a child and sing opera steadily. Sing well, survive, and make a lot of money."
The gentleman still looked at Cao Xuan with a smile, but the old man's tone also had a hint of teasing and sarcasm.
"Xiao Xuan , this is not quite right, is it? Why didn’t my teacher know when you had a pair of dog eyes? ”
“Uh, it’s different. "
Cao Xuan still looked a little arrogant.
He probably knew how to say it, and he would inevitably be hit on the head with a fan, so he forced the words "One is Qinggui" that had reached his throat. The argument that "literati, one is a singer and an actor" was suppressed in my stomach.
"What's the difference? Your heart can't sink when you watch the show, so you can't understand the goodness of Boss Yang." "
The gentleman pointed two fingers on the tea table, as if he was drawing a little man walking.
"The Overlord of Chu, played by Yang Xiaolou, walked around from behind the screen. Come out and walk around to the center of the stage, which is a distance of two feet, three feet and three inches. Taking a step with the left foot is called a step, and taking a step with the right foot is called a step. In the past, the traditional singing method of this play, the distance of two feet, three feet and three, just required ordinary people to walk in eight steps. ”
“Boss Yang thought that Xiang Yu was such a powerful and powerful hero that the eight steps were too small and too dense to show the momentum of the overlord of Western Chu, so he pioneered the step-by-step method. The eight steps are simplified into six steps. The step by step is calm, the step by step is majestic, the step by step is awe-inspiring, and one looks like a hero. "
On the tea table, Mr. Yang demonstrated the square step with two fingers and explained, "Later, Boss Yang performed it for two years and studied it again. After all, King Xiang was trapped in Gaixia, and the battle situation was gradually declining. Although his heroic spirit was not diminished, he could not live up to his former glory of conquering the world, so he added half a step to the six and a half steps on the stage today. ”
“In the short distance of two feet, three feet and three feet, and the increase and decrease of the steps, the whole character has entered the soul. No one who has watched it can say that this play is well performed and the acting is lively. The performance is like that of Xuxuru, the overlord of Western Chu, who couldn't help but cheer loudly and heartily in front of his face."
Learn art in the capital, become famous in Jinmen, and make money in Shanghai.
This is the jargon of Liyuan.
There are many kings and ministers at the feet of the emperor in the capital, and there are many opera troupes. Since the Hui Troupe entered Beijing, the capital has been the birthplace and ancestral home of Peking Opera actors all over the world. Tan, Yang, Mei and others all learned their skills in the capital.
It is because of Tianjin that they became famous. The people in Wei are so lively.
The audience is the most knowledgeable, with many enthusiasts and art lovers.
In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Jinmen became famous for countless famous drama actors, cross talk masters and drum music kings. .Being famous there means tomorrow.Even the most picky senior audience below can’t find fault with you.
The play has been performed with great proficiency and is very impressive.
Making money in Shanghai is because there have been many wealthy merchants in the south since ancient times, and many of them have long-standing scholarly families. The Magic City is a metropolis where internal and external exchanges occur. It is the most prosperous pearl in the entire Eastern Xia and even in Asia. If you want to carry sacks and boxes of them back to earn silver dollars, you can only do so in the Magic City.
This jargon is loved by audiences in Beijing and Tianjin.
Only the people in Shanghai did not listen to it, and felt that it was a bit ridiculing that they were old haters who only understood money and did not understand drama.
Why are the audiences in the South not as knowledgeable as the audiences in Tianjin?
Everyone is so excited.
So when listening to a play in Shanghai, everyone listens attentively and watches carefully.
When young Cao Xuan saw the somersaulter, he applauded loudly.
Seeing Yang Xiaolou's exquisite footwork, but not knowing how to appreciate it, is just like the stereotype of a layman who doesn't understand the drama.
It happened to be that he was sitting next to his husband, a senior theater fan, and was stared at with curious and curious eyes by others.
After listening to the teacher's explanation, Cao Xuan finally understood some of the key points and looked at the stage intently.
But at that time Hu Qin was mournful, and it had already reached the stage where King Xiang sat and watched Yu Ji dance her sword.
He could no longer look back and figure out what the teacher had said.
"But watching a play is like watching a painting. People who need to break it down to understand why are not destined to be together after all. Xiaoxuan, you still have something to learn about the difference between somersaults and catwalks. I don’t know what you can figure out, but you can understand it.”
“It’s a waste for you to watch this show in such a restless mood.”
< p>The gentleman looked a little lonely, shook his head slightly and sighed.That time.
The teacher did not hit him with the fan. Cao Xuan saw the teacher's melancholy expression, but it made him feel more depressed than the feeling of the fan bone hitting his forehead, which was not too painful.
Time flows like water.
Cao Xuan has already achieved fame and become a master and leader of the painting world who is admired by countless people.
From the bottom of his heart, he still didn’t fall in love with opera, but he always remembered his teacher’s teachings.
These years.
He doesn’t often attend plays, but as long as he walks into the auditorium, whether it’s a professional performance at the National Center for the Performing Arts, a group performance in a small theater by some overseas amateur fans, or even a record played at home.
Whenever Cao Xuan hears the opera mixed with the beats of Huqin and drums, he will always listen very carefully, and he will always think of his husband, with a folding fan slowly harmonizing with the lyrics on the stage, in his hand Micro-patting and humming.
The light from the electric lamp on the stage shone on his wrinkled face. At that time, he always looked like a statue carved from stone.
"Sir. Later I thoughtI understand what you are trying to say. ”
Mr. Cao sighed slightly, tears dripping down his cheeks, dripping on this precious old photo.
My teacher that day The hidden meaning in the words
The six and a half steps that Boss Yang buried on the stage, one subtraction and one increase, are similar to the paintings of the masters of traditional Chinese painting. Isn't it the word "pay attention to"? Well.
You only need to pay attention to it.
There is enough flavor in it.
The teacher has already said everything. He told himself this in his own unique way, but it was only many years later that he figured it out.
Gu Weijing had painted such a "fine" painting early on.
< p>Cao Xuan did not let his teacher wait until he handed over the enlightened answer.This is really enviable, I am more concerned about that. The boy is far behind. "
Cao Xuan said slowly.
Naruo had a tea break and when they left.
Cao Xuan's teacher took out a Yu Ruyi handed it over to the steward of the theater, saying that watching the theater today was very sad and enjoyable. It was a worthwhile trip.
Thanks to Tongxin Society for providing such a wonderful performance. Performance, sword given to heroes, this Fang Yu Ruyi was specially given as a thank you gift to Boss Yang of Yang Xiaolou.
This Fang Yu Ruyi is a collection of the teacher. It is of excellent quality and not too old.
It is not the kind of particularly precious Qin jade and Han jade, it is Ruyi from the late Ming Dynasty, but it is rare because it is a jade handed down from generation to generation, not the kind of jade unearthed from tombs. It is moist and clear all over, without any trace of it. It smells earthy.
I spent more than 800 taels of silver to buy this square jade when I was young. It was a big deal.
Cao Xuan was jealous of the teacher. Jade for a long time.
He was watching this scene from the side, just like how Tang Ning felt now when she heard that Mr. Cao might accept another apprentice and send away the big treasure that might belong to her. Wu Er, his mouth was almost pouting.
I was just shocked by the teacher's majestic gaze and the folding fan in his hand, so I didn't dare to express my opinion.
The manager is also very knowledgeable. You know it's not cheap just by looking at the luster. I bowed and thanked you for the great reward.
The gentleman shook his head and corrected specifically, this is not a reward. Today on the stage, he experienced the style of the living overlord. This is. Thank you.
The steward asked again, why don’t you go backstage to have a cup of tea with Boss Yang and Boss Mei? They also want to meet you great painters.
Mr. Shaking his head, he replied that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
It would be tacky to talk about the overlord Yu Ji in the audience.
The current situation is not easy. , The world is difficult.
The play is like life. He has heard the generous and tragic meaning in the play, and he admires it, but his current mood is different.I wanted to paint so much that I gave him a jade pendant as a gift.
"After this farewell, we will cherish each other and see you again when we are destined."
A gentleman will feel like old friends as soon as he sees them, so he will give them a thousand pieces of gold as a gift.
And this difference.
When mountains and rivers are broken, it becomes farewell forever.
Two years later, the Japanese invasion of China broke out. On July 7, 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident began.
On July 29, the capital fell.
On November 12 of the same year, the Battle of Songhu ended, and the Magic City area was officially declared occupied.
Mei Lanfang, the great master of the generation, went to Hong Kong to escape the harassment of the Japanese invaders. She had to make a clear decision and vowed not to act for the Japanese.
It is rumored that before leaving the capital, he had urged Yang Xiaolou to go south and seek refuge. You are not in good health. If the Japanese come, you will not be able to stay in the capital.
Yang Xiaolou replied, people praise me and call me Zhao Yun, living overlord. The overlord of Western Chu can die, but have he ever escaped?
In that dark cloud, it was so long that it was almost impossible to see. In the endless winter.
Yang Xiaolou died at No. 36 Zizhu Hutong, Hepingli, Beijing. Hundreds of celebrities, including Ma Lianliang, went to express their condolences, and the cries continued for three days.
In Director Chen's Farewell My Concubine, Duan Xiaolou, played by Zhang Fengyi, said a classic line to Leslie Cheung's brother, "I am the fake Overlord, but you are the real Concubine", which has become the most classic line in Chinese movies. One of the lines.
Yang Xiaolou, who is rumored in history, is undoubtedly synonymous with the true overlord on the stage.
The same year.
The old gentleman, who was also unwilling to stay away from his hometown to avoid trouble, died of illness in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The painting world was shocked. In accordance with the teacher's last wish, the disciples took charge of handling the teacher's funeral affairs and inherited most of the collection of books and art collections. The candidates for the "mourning master" are not the older apprentices who are already well-known, nor are they the daughters who are already married.
It was Cao Xuan, who was the youngest and underage at the time.
The older generation of masters, Cao Xuan’s gentlemen, whether in painting or life, have used their lives to practice their artistic philosophy of preferring to bend rather than bend.
"The Han soldiers have captured the territory, and they are besieged on all sides. The king's loyalty is gone, and how can I live with my concubine?"
"Oh, my concubine, no"
In the quiet study room in Hamburg, there are only babbling records, which still faithfully restore the voices of their owners many years ago.
The overlord has committed suicide, and his spirits are as good as before.
"Grind the ink."
Cao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the dull assistant Lao Yang, "Bring me a pen and paper."
Mr. After listening to an exquisite play, he gave Ruyi a jade worth thousands of gold as a gift.
After receiving such an exquisite painting from Gu Xiaozi as a congratulatory gift, Cao Xuan suddenly had the long-lost idea of writing. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
