For Xin Zihao, today is definitely the most special and outrageous day in his memory!
Watching Peking Opera was nothing. After watching Peking Opera, he and other children followed Uncle Yang Qian to the backstage to visit the uncles and aunts who were performing Peking Opera. Only then did Xin Zihao face the strongest shock in his life!
"Hello, kids! I am the Peking Opera actor who played Xue Xiangling in the play just now. My name is Huang Songyuan. You can just call me Uncle Huang!"
Xin Zihao was stunned when he heard "Xue Xiangling", who had not yet taken off her makeup, talking to them in a rough male voice.
what's the situation?
Why did aunt become uncle?
If Huang Songyuan hadn't been standing in front of them wearing the same makeup as on the stage, Xin Zihao wouldn't have believed his ears, and he would have definitely felt that someone had been replaced secretly.
But it is precisely because of such a contrast that Xin Zihao, like several other children, was stunned, not believing his eyes at all, and even felt messy in the wind!
"Brother, they probably still can't connect you with Xue Xiangling just now. How about you show your hand?"
Yang Qian smiled.
What's so difficult about this?
Huang Songyuan put on his posture and opened his mouth:
"My ears are filled with sorrow and my heart is pounding,
Why are my fellow travelers howling like this?"
hiss.
That's right, there was no substitution, but this voice
Xin Zihao sounded even more confused. Although he was not very interested in Peking Opera before, at least he still felt that it didn't sound inconsistent.
Now when he thought of Huang Songyuan's masculine male voice just now, compared with the sad and sharp female voice now, he felt full of contradiction!
"Uncle Huang, are you a Hua Dan?"
A little girl who looked like a porcelain doll raised her hand and asked.
Xin Zihao looked over, and then couldn't help but take another look. She was Jin Wei, the girl Xin Zihao thought was the most beautiful among the children!
Jinwei has big eyes and extremely white and tender skin, and her parents always dress her up like a princess. The fluffy skirt looks like a blooming rose flower.
She is also ten years old this year, and is considered one of the older children in this group. Girls develop earlier than boys, so when she stands in the crowd, she feels a little bit standout - just based on her height.
It’s hard not to attract the little boy’s attention!
"Children know a lot. Uncle Huang will ask you a question. Do you know what the trades in Peking Opera are?"
Huang Songyuan knew that now was the time for them to communicate with the children, and there were photographers from Mango Channel following them, and it would be edited into a program in the future.
Therefore, he works hard to popularize science with children, hoping to promote Peking Opera in front of the camera and leave a good impression on the audience.
"Business?"
Jin Wei was stunned.
The "huadan" she just mentioned was just a word that popped into her head and she didn't know where it came from. In fact, she didn't understand what "business" meant.
The little girl passed the tenth level of the piano test, but she had never been seriously exposed to Peking Opera before. After watching it today, she thought it was quite interesting, so she showed great interest.
"Uncle Huang, is it 'the purest and most ugly'?"
A boy raised his hand to help the embarrassed Jin Wei.
"That's right! This kid answered very well."
Huang Songyuan's praise made Xin Zihao a little annoyed.
He also knows the words "生丹 Pure Mo Chou", although he must be like Jin Wei in not being able to connect them with "business", but how good would it be if he said it?
He wanted to stand out in front of the little girl he liked, but Xin Zihao, a brat, had already vaguely realized this.
"Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, and Chou are indeed the five major roles of our Peking Opera. Even many operas are classified in this way. However, now it is generally said that the roles of Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou, and Mo have been integrated into Sheng.
middle.
Let’s talk about students first. Students are divided into Xusheng, Hongsheng, Xiaosheng, Wusheng, Wansheng, etc. Xusheng is also called Laosheng. It has the word "beard", so everyone should be able to think of beard, right? It refers to the character in the play.
A character who is over 10 years old and wears a beard"
When Huang Songyuan teaches children science, his language is relatively uninteresting. After all, he faces old actors from his Peking Opera Theater all year round.
But fortunately, the content he talked about was something that the children had never been exposed to before, and in order to make them understand, Huang Songyuan also picked up beards and other props on the dressing table nearby to show them.
Yang Qian was beside him and helped him interact with every opportunity, asking the children to raise their hands and try wearing these props themselves.
Only then did the children listen with gusto, and even Xin Zihao became active.
"Then when it comes to Dan, there are Zhengdan, Huashan, Huadan, Daomadan, Wudan, and Laodan. Zhengdan also has another name, which you may have heard of, and that is Qingyi, which refers to a more dignified, serious, and decent woman.
The characters range in age from young to middle-aged. Xue Xiangling, whom I sang just now, and Zhao Shouzhen, played by teacher Yuan Danqin, belong to the Qingyi category, which has relatively high requirements for singing. And the Hua Dan mentioned by the child just now is in the play
Young female characters, with brighter costumes and lively character movements, like teacher Liu Yizhi who plays Mei Xiang in our play."
Hearing Uncle Huang talk about Dan Jiao, Jin Wei lowered her head in embarrassment and grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands to stir it up.
I guessed just now, but I guessed wrong!
After being reminded by Yang Qian, Huang Songyuan learned to interact more with the children.
He knew that the children might not be impressed enough by telling so many stories, so he called two Peking Opera actors, Yuan Danqin and Liu Yizhi, who played the corresponding roles.
They happened to be taking off their makeup in the dressing room, and Huang Songyuan asked them to show their unique skills to the children.
Whether it's the stunning sleeve dance, or the children's screams, especially the boys jumping up and down and playing tricks, this interaction directly made them jump from the stage of interest to the stage of concentration.
A stage of great joy!
"This is so cool, I want to learn it too!"
Xin Zihao forgot his previous comment that Peking Opera was "boring". He jumped and clapped, his face flushed with excitement, and he even forgot about Jin Wei's attraction to him.
The photographers and assistant directors who followed Mango Channel were very excited after seeing this scene. Doesn’t the children’s love for our national quintessence represent a very positive signal? If this episode is broadcast later, it will definitely win the approval of the audience.
Good review!
However, at this moment, the dressing room door was knocked open.
