Shonan Satellite TV, the crew of "Singing Caravan".
The host Li Rui glanced at the guests in the latest episode and frowned, "Pei Xueman? Director Zhou, the guests our program team invites in each episode seem to be getting more and more stretched, not to mention Li Qing,
We invite superstars like Li Ang, but we have to invite some first-line stars to join us, right? Otherwise, how can we increase the ratings of our show?"
"Li Rui, it's not like you don't know what's going on with the program team? Originally, the funding provided by the station is not much. It's okay to invite first-line singers, but you can't invite them frequently. It's too expensive."
Director Zhou Jinpeng smiled bitterly and said: "Besides, Pei Xueman is already a very powerful singer among this group of applicants. Their company recently spent several million to buy Han Sen's songs. Let's "Sing"
The ratings for the next episode of "Caravan" will depend on Pei Xueman's new song."
"Han Sen?"
Li Rui's eyes lit up and he said with some surprise: "The winner of "The King of Masked Singer", Han Sen?"
"right."
Zhou Jinpeng nodded and said: "If you don't go online often, you wouldn't know. There have been quite a lot of hot searches for Pei Xueman recently. After all, it's her first time to collaborate with Han Sen, and I heard that it was a song tailor-made for her by Han Sen.
The public's expectations for the song have been very high. If Pei Xueman is invited to come, the ratings will not be lowered."
Li Rui agreed as soon as he heard it, and immediately began to join the discussion with the director team. After confirming the itinerary, he flew to the destination, Huizhou, as soon as possible.
Hui Opera is the predecessor of Peking Opera. There are still many large theaters here, and middle-aged and elderly people often flock to the theaters to listen to music.
Peking Opera mainly focuses on scene decoration, pays attention to freehand brushwork, uses Xipi and Erhuang tunes as its main tunes, and uses huqin, gongs and drums as accompaniment. It is regarded as the quintessence of Chinese culture.
The reason why the latest issue of "Singing Caravan" is set in Huizhou is to match the background of Pei Xueman's new song.
Under the investigation of Zhou Jinpeng, Li Rui and other members of the directing team, they keenly discovered the hidden story behind Pei Xueman's new song. After learning that Han Sen specially composed this song for Pei Xueman's class, they
The recording schedule for the latest episode was immediately decided.
The so-called obsession in life is to never dream of going to Huizhou.
When the crew of "Singing Caravan" came to Huizhou and stood on the streets of Huizhou Old Street, looking at the long lines of clear records in the alleys and the archways symbolizing honor, all the staff couldn't help but take out their mobile phones.
, the camera began to record the beautiful scenery in front of me.
Pei Xueman was no exception. After joining the "Singing Caravan", she did not start recording immediately, but felt the customs and customs of Huizhou.
The street in front of you is called Fish Street. As the name suggests, it got its name because it looks like a fish.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the entire street is paved with uniform pebbles in an orderly manner, just like fish scales.
Pei Xueman was wearing flat shoes, a sun hat, and sunglasses. She stepped on the pebbles under her feet and felt extremely at ease in her heart.
The Pei family's ancestral home is Huizhou. Although Pei Xueman grew up in the capital, he would go back to Huizhou to celebrate the New Year during the holidays. The scenes in front of him were so familiar, such as the old houses on both sides of the street, row upon row, with two doors.
The door is either open or closed.
The houses with open doors are former business houses, shops, and warehouses.
The thick roof beams and old railings are all stained by time. In modern times, they have adapted to the development of the times and transformed into B&Bs, hosting tourists from all over the country.
"That RV looks like a singing caravan?"
At this time, some tourists with keen eyes saw the caravan that often appeared on TV.
Many people are very familiar with this caravan. The host Li Rui often drives this car and takes show guests to the streets and alleys across the country to perform performances. At the same time, he also invites passersby to the stage to sing.
This caravan was remodeled from an RV. When it opens, it is a huge stage. Whether it is the audio facilities or the stage design facilities, they are all designed to the extreme that a RV can carry.
Therefore, when someone discovered this caravan, they spread the word, and soon the entire Fish Street was filled with tourists. Even some local residents and merchants came over excitedly and looked forward to it.
Although the ratings of "Singing Caravan" are not top-notch on Hunan Satellite TV, but nationwide, it is also one of the best programs, and it will invite first-tier singers to the stage from time to time. Of course, the regular invitations on TV are some second-tier and third-tier singers.
This causes the program's ratings to fluctuate.
Even so, "Singing Caravan" is an opportunity that many artists dream of getting.
At this time, evening is approaching, and the sunset is falling on the entire Huizhou, blooming with amazing brilliance.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the "Singing Caravan" program team immediately began to open the caravan, reveal the stage, and start filming the latest episode.
Soon, at the director's shout, the cameras and recording equipment were turned on.
Amid the enthusiastic applause of hundreds of passers-by in the audience, the host Li Rui took the stage, took advantage of the sunset breeze, raised the microphone, and laughed loudly: "Good afternoon to all the audience friends in Huizhou, I am your favorite
Host, Li Rui!"
Amidst the applause, Li Rui continued to say enthusiastically: "Today, the program team of "Singing Caravan" came to the thousand-year-old town, Fish Street. This is one of the courthouses of Peking Opera, and the long history left for Fish Street
Rich cultural heritage including Huizhou architecture!”
"Here, we will appreciate the charm of Huizhou old streets. At the same time, we have also invited a well-known singer to be the guest singer in this program!"
"Now, let us use the warmest applause to invite the singer, Pei! Xue! Man! and bring her latest single, "Chi Ling"! Please!!"
Pei Xueman appeared on the stage amid thunderous applause.
Next to her was an old man with white beard and hair. His face was painted in a white costume, but he was wearing green clothes, waving sleeves, and his gestures showed a natural and unrestrained aura.
His name is Pei Yongchun, and he is Pei Xueman's uncle. Like his father Pei Yongzhen, he is a famous opera performer in the Peking Opera circle.
After receiving a call from Pei Xueman, he heard that it was an opera performance and wanted to find a dramatist to play the male lead in the MV and to take over a series of subsequent performance tasks. Without saying a word, the uncle picked up his suitcase and left.
From Jiangnan, where we settled, we flew to the capital overnight.
The uncle, who is in his fifties, has a ruddy face, but his beard and hair have long since turned white. He wears a Tai Chi shirt and black cloth shoes. He walks like a sergeant with a straight back.
Although he is a well-known Peking opera performer in the industry, his eldest uncle's profession is a Tai Chi martial artist.
He founded a Tai Chi martial arts school. In addition to training Tai Chi disciples, he also specialized in teaching some older uncles and aunts to practice Tai Chi and strengthen their bodies.
Only occasionally do I think of my identity as a Peking Opera artist.
When I get up in the morning, I will be interested in it for a while, and I will enjoy singing a few songs in the park under the astonished eyes of others.
I sing for hours.
But unfortunately, no one cared.
Theater has been in decline for many years. Unless everyone, or ordinary opera performers, loses money every time they perform a performance.
Therefore, there is no place for drama anywhere in the country.
All dramatists only regard drama as a hobby, not a career to make a living.
However, when he heard that his eldest niece wanted to revive the drama, Pei Yongchun flew over from Jiangnan without saying anything.
As soon as we meet, we actively ask about the causes and consequences.
After reading the lyrics and music of "Chi Ling".
Pei Yongchun was silent for a long time before sighing in public:
"Actresses were once classified as low-class. This is a tragedy caused by history."
"However, since the day when the new Chinese dynasty was established, they were no longer 'actors' exploited by the feudal system, but like the masses, they were the masters of the country and part of the people."
"A play is like life, and life is like a play."
"Chinese opera has a long history. It has been more than 200 years since the Hui Troupe came to Beijing. During this period, talents have emerged in large numbers and heroes abound."
"And the ancestor of my Pei family, Pei Yanzhi, is one of the best..."
Pei Yongchun looked excited: "Han Sen can write the story of my ancestors into a song. This is a great favor. He has a heart! This alone is of infinite value! Not to mention, such words and such music - worthy of
Yu Pei Yanzhi these three words!"
"Moreover, he also fulfilled your grandfather's wish. Back then, seeing the decline of opera, your grandfather once proposed an idea to combine drama with modern music, actively integrate it into modern music, and once again bring out the charm of opera.
It was a pity that it was too difficult to carry it forward, and it eventually ran aground. Now it seems that this burden has been placed on your shoulders, Sherman..."
At that time, Pei Xueman felt the same emotion as he listened to his uncle's excited words.
Suddenly, she even remembered her childhood.
That day, grandpa took him to the stage in front of the village.
A group of Peking Opera performers are singing.
A group of people in the audience cheered.
At that time, the girl didn't know what yellow face and white face meant. She only thought that the singer's appearance was extremely scary, but she also found it interesting.
Later, it rained, and everyone in the village went back. Some hid under the eaves and continued to watch, but they couldn't bear the heavy rain and left one after another.
But the two opera singers kept singing.
I was with my grandfather at the time, and when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but curiously asked:
"It's raining, why don't they go back?"
Grandpa said with a smile: "Our ancestors had rules. When a singer opens his voice, he must finish singing, regardless of whether anyone is watching or not."
The girl wondered: "Why?"
Grandpa was silent for a long time, and then sighed leisurely: "Just because mortals don't listen, doesn't mean that old friends don't listen."
now.
Grandpa passed away long ago.
Pei Xueman stood on the stage in Huizhou, looking at the eager eyes of the passers-by and the audience. Thinking of her uncle's words and her grandpa, she suddenly felt choked up.
She took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and started performing.
The play has begun and everyone is listening.
One side is human, the third side is ghost, and the fourth side is god.
Grandpa, I will sing this song to you.
…
In the treble piano and the leisurely sound of erhu.
Pei Xueman's singing started.
"When the play breaks, the sleeves rise and fall
Singing joys and sorrows, singing separation and separation, it has nothing to do with me
The fans open and close, the gongs and drums sound and then fall silent
Love is in the play and outside the play, who can say..."
Next to him, Qing Yi, played by the uncle, was wearing a red costume, dancing gracefully to the singing, and walking slowly on the stage.
When he moved, it was like the breeze blowing through the willows.
When he opened his mouth, it sounded like a whisper in Yan language, as if he was singing along with Pei Xueman.
"Has the habit of blending all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy into the ink
So what if the lyrics are sung right through?
Bones and ashes are mine
In troubled times, duckweed endures to watch the beacon fire burning mountains and rivers
In humble position, I dare not forget to worry about my country
Even if no one knows me..."
Accompanied by this cry-like song.
Director Zhou Jinpeng suddenly sat up, picked up the script in his hand with a surprised look on his face, opened the lyrics of "Chi Ling", and read it carefully.
With the singing in my ears.
He observed carefully and for a moment, he was slightly lost in thought.
In troubled times, Duckweed endures to watch the mountains and rivers being burned by war, but in my humble position, I dare not forget about my country, even if no one knows me...
Even if no one knows me...
"good words!"
Zhou Jinpeng couldn't help but applaud.
His voice was so loud that the entire audience could hear it, and even slightly affected Pei Xueman's performance.
The audience seemed to feel the same way, and they even applauded one after another at this moment.
Especially when I saw the actor in the bright red costume, with a sad and determined look on his face.
For a time, many people felt a slight pain.
Feeling distressed.
As the saying goes: actors are so ruthless.
However, the truth and falsehood are all in the words of the play, so how can a theatergoer know what the singer is thinking.
When the war continues, even actors will eventually abandon their green clothes, take off their theatrical makeup, bathe in blood on the battlefield, and swing around for nine days with a Wu Gou in hand!
When the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, even though the status was low and the status was low, they never thought of living in an ignoble way.
In the face of humiliation, he dared to pick up the sword and strike a decisive blow at the provocateur!
Just when everyone was in a trance.
The accompaniment is high-spirited again.
Pei Xueman was so angry that her Dantian was filled with anger. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they could see her raising her sword fingers with both hands, waving the gestures of an actor, and sang a piece of opera that was deafening.
"The people in the audience passed by
Missing the old color——
People on stage are singing
Heartbroken Farewell Song——"
Off the stage, host Li Rui looked at Pei Xueman, who was waving actor's gestures and singing in a dramatic voice.
For a moment, his face was filled with surprise.
Pei Xueman’s singing skills are so profound?
Is this still the Pei Xueman he knows?
Is the change so huge?
Suddenly he remembered the songwriter of this song, and for a moment, his expression was full of understanding.
"Perhaps, it's not the person who sings, but the person who writes the songs?"
At this moment, the Kunqu opera was melodious, and in Pei Xueman's singing, Qing Yi waved her sleeves on the square stage, which aroused a burst of applause from the audience.
Someone picked up their mobile phone, excitedly recorded the video, and sent relevant clips to the Internet from time to time.
There are also people who are real fans of Pei Xueman. When they mentioned this new song at the scene, their eyes turned red with excitement and they kept shouting on social platforms: "Jimei guys, it sounds so good! Sister Man's new song is so good!! Wall Highly recommended!!”
on site.
With the opera traveling across the ocean and the interweaving of music, more and more people came from all directions to hear the music.
Police officers who have been notified long ago are maintaining order.
But even the police were immersed in Pei Xueman's drama at this moment and were slightly absent-minded.
"The word love is hard to write down
She sings and must be reconciled with blood
The drama begins
The drama ends
Who is the guest—"
