Yan Mulin chose Zhejiang Haining shadow puppetry with the style of the Southern Song Dynasty. Haining shadow puppetry is an ancient art passed down from the Han nationality. "Yiyang Tune" and other classical tunes were changed from northern tunes to southern tunes, forming ancient music based on two loud tunes of "Yiyang Tune" and "Haiyan Tune", with bright and melodious rhythms.
In his previous life, Yan Mulin had been an apprentice for a few years, and he also learned Zhejiang Haining shadow puppetry. He respected traditional art and would not adapt it. Zhejiang Haining shadow puppet classical dramas want the kind of charm of the water town. Of course, because of the guidance of Yan Mu Lin's Master Bian was not from the Zhejiang Haining Opera Troupe, so the shadow puppets he controls are naturally not as good as Haining shadow puppet "less engraving, heavy painting, single-line flat painting, round and lively face, one-eyed profile, less exaggeration, and close to reality. On the other hand, in the first episode of the show, he didn't want to steal the limelight from his predecessors too much, and he was afraid of scaring Zhou Wenjing.
Under the strong light in the background, the shadow figure in Yan Mulin's hands became transparent and bright in color, and he used bamboo sticks to adjust the shadow figure in his hand to make it lifelike. In addition to the backstage accompaniment, the team that cooperated with Yan Mulin Apart from the personnel, besides himself, there are only four other people manipulating the shadow man in the frontcourt.
According to the relationship between the characters in the play "Peacock Flies to the Southeast", three people are enough to support the end of the show. There are shadow boxes for sorting the filmmakers at their feet, and the operator at the front desk can get the filmmakers needed for the performance at any time. The play mainly tells the story of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi who were deeply in love and were forced to separate and both committed suicide.
The repertoire has been streamlined, and the time is not as long as that of the theater troupe. After the streamlining, the plot of the repertoire is compact, and the singing of the refined lines is more memorable. This is the result of discussions between Yan Mulin and the troupe. The members have up to forty performances every day, and they have also simplified their lines and performance content, which hit it off with Yan Mulin's ideas.
In fact, there is only one reason for the streamlining of the repertoire. According to his speculation, whether it is the seniors or Tao Bochen, they must all choose a fixed role, but today, Yan Mulin is doing the opposite. He wants to recruit The audience is not only those in the audience, but also those in front of the TV. I hope that today's performance can surprise everyone, not scare them.
Accompanied by flute and erhu, melodious Jiangnan music sounded.
The beautiful and delicate female voice accompanied by the melodious and melodious ancient tunes told her grievances for many years: "My husband, I can weave white silk at the age of thirteen, I learned to tailor at the age of fourteen, I learned to play the harp at the age of fifteen, and I learned to play the harp at the age of sixteen. I was able to recite poems and books at the age of seventeen. I became your wife at the age of seventeen, but I often feel pain and sadness in my heart... "
Jiao Zhongqing held his wife's hand and whispered, "My wife, you have suffered."
His wife, Liu Lanzhi, looked at her husband: "I can't stand my parents-in-law's driving, so it's useless to stay here in vain. Just tell my parents-in-law and send me back to my mother's house in time."
Husband Jiao Zhongqing: "Lanzhi..."
His wife Liu Lanzhi threw herself into her husband's arms, weeping uncontrollably.
In this plot, the wife tells her grievances, while the husband patiently listens to her story, and comforts her with a gentle voice. The ending scene is a husband and wife embracing, which is touching.
The melodious Jiangnan melody suddenly changed to a high pitch in vain. The gentle woman and her official husband suddenly disappeared on the screen. This is Jiao Zhongqing's mother.
Jiao Zhongqing revealed his firm feelings for his wife to his mother, but his mother scolded her fiercely, her voice was high-pitched, like a dominatrix: "You are so narrow-minded and stubborn! Your daughter-in-law is lazy, independent, and free. She doesn't look like a daughter-in-law. I don't like it." She, you get rid of her quickly!"
With grief in her heart, Jiao Zhongqing shouted, "Mother, how can it be?"
Poli's mother: "I have already favored you a virtuous woman in the east neighbor. From now on, you will divorce your inappropriate wife and marry me to the woman you want!"
…
After a lot of struggle, Jiao Zhongqing, who couldn't fight against his mother, was angry with grief, but he couldn't fight for the time being. In desperation, he had to send his gentle and beautiful wife back to her natal home for the time being, and promised her that she would welcome her back in the future .
When bidding farewell to her mother-in-law, Liu Lanzhi dressed up gorgeously and beautifully, which is unrivaled in the world, but her mother-in-law didn't even look at her. Perhaps Liu Lanzhi's voice was too calm, calmly describing what she had done to the family in the past, That kind of sadness deeply touched the hearts of many women present, their noses were sore, Lanzhi under the feudal society was really pitiful.
When the husband and wife parted, they confided in each other's hearts, and the two were in tears again and again.
…
After returning home, Liu's mother and her eldest brother were going to marry her to someone else. The helpless Liu Lanzhi had a fight with her overbearing brother and mother. It was another scene. Liu Lanzhi was extremely helpless. Her theory Did not get the brother's understanding.
The domineering brother knew that his sister was going to reject the marriage proposal from a high-ranking official, and felt very unhappy. He was very impatient with his sister, and even decided on her own marriage: "That's how the marriage will be handled. I will find a matchmaker to count the days for you!"
…
Jiao Zhongqing, who learned that his wife was going to be his wife, came to Lanzhi's house, and the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Jiao Zhongqing hugged his wife lightly, and said firmly: "The rock is square and thick, and it can last for a thousand years; the pussy reed can be made overnight..."
Tears fell with the words, Lanzhi choked up and said to her ex-husband: "I will meet you in the underworld, don't violate today's words!"
Both of them went home and bid farewell to their parents. One threw himself into the Qingshui River at dusk, and the other hung the southeast branch in the courtyard.
When we meet in the underworld, we will never be separated.
The show is over.
The female audience in the audience wiped away their tears one after another, and they did not forget to applaud the actors in the backstage. The acting was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it was so good, I really hope that I can beat the stubborn mother Jiao and the overbearing Brother Liu severely, and destroy the Other people's marital feelings are simply unreasonable!
Lanzhi Qingyue's gentle and gentle Jiangnan woman's voice is particularly distressing. The kind of humiliation as a married woman, the kind of forbearance in the face of family members, all make people want to embrace this poor ancient woman.
Some of the male audience present could not help but think that when marrying a wife, one should marry a virtuous and caring woman like Lanzhi, and take good care of her. Of course, the tigress at home should also be taken good care of now. It's not easy, it's really hard.
The audience with a feeling of reluctance found that the shadow puppet theater ticket they bought tonight was very worthwhile. Everyone's repertoire brought them joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and emotion.
Hua Qian returned to the stage after "Peacock Flying Southeast", and received warm applause from the audience. Hua Qian raised his hand and said: "Now, please vote the two places you have selected into the designated ballot box. Thank you audience for your cooperation!"
Some audience shouted from the audience: "We want to know who played it."
Hua Qian replied: "Please look forward to "Where is the Voice" on November 11th at 8:00 pm, thank you again for your cooperation, I wish you all a wonderful night, good night!"
Originally, the program team wanted to let the five actors come out to meet everyone after the audience voted, but considering the flow of people around the theater, they chose to cancel the meeting. Too many fans will affect the traffic in the surrounding streets. .
At the same time, when Shao Nuoyu, who was sitting in the private room, heard Pei Tezhu's report that the fifth place was Yan Mulin, he paused for a moment when he took the melon seeds, then put the melon seeds in his hand back into the melon seeds box, and quickly placed them in the box. Holding the ten tickets on the table, he asked Mr. Shao, "Dad, give me your tickets."
Shao Laogang wanted to hold his ticket tightly, looked at his son and said, "No, I like Monkey King, you can't grab it..."
Before he finished speaking, Shao Nuoyu snatched the votes from Mr. Shao's hands in lightning speed, and stuffed them on Pete's assistant, and said with a serious face: "Go and vote for five votes." No."
Mr. Shao and Special Assistant Pei were injured for a moment. Is the person who grabbed the ticket just now my son/boss
I can't bear to look directly at it.
Old Shao joked, "Is that girl your idol or your lover?"
Shao Nuoyu said, "What girl."
Old Shao said, "Isn't number five the same Liu Lanzhi? It must be a girl."
Shao Nuoyu shook his head: "No, he's a man."
Shao Lao suddenly became a little confused, what do you mean? He continued to ask, but Shao Nuoyu stopped mentioning it.
Dead boy, wayward!
Also sitting in the auditorium, among the four dubbing masters, some people are worried about how to evaluate the performance of the five actors. Since the five actors are all male, the masters invited this time are also male. The purpose of the program group It is for fairness and justice. Among the four masters, Teacher Fu Chunrong is the oldest, nearly 60 years old. The other three teachers all call him Big Brother, and the youngest is Li Jin, who is nearly 40 years old.
As the hall began to close, the recording of the four masters was transferred to a comfortably furnished leisure room, where the cameras had been set up, waiting for the four masters to sit down. Before the director came over, the four masters sat down With such a conversation.
When Mr. Tong Jianhua was young, he was in the same school as Mr. Fu Chunrong. They were brothers and sisters. He called Fu Chunrong his senior and said, "Senior brother, how do you feel?"
Although Mr. Fu Chunrong is nearly 60 years old, his brain is very clear and his body is very strong. Today he is dressed in a Tang suit and looks energetic. He asked Tong Jianhua: "Tell me what you think, I think there is a young man who is particularly interesting."
Tong Jianhua followed Fu Chunrong. He was wearing a modern and improved Tang suit. He said: "I personally think that the fourth one will be better in terms of emotional expression."
Li Jin sat upright. This rigorous man in a suit and leather shoes, with a square scarf folded in his pocket, was meticulous. Even his hair was combed smooth and shiny. He said: "Although I don't know if I feel the same as my brother, but I There are also options."
Holding a fan that had never been opened before, Huang Xingyun said, "Anyway, I won't choose Lu Bu. I really want to know who came up with Zhang Fei's terrible lines."
The conversations of the four people were all recorded on the camera, and the four masters now have some ideas of their own, but their words made the cameraman confused. I don’t know what kind of riddles they are playing, but you guys tell us every time. Who is behind this performance
In fact, the four masters are not very familiar with the five actors. They can only distinguish between strong and weak through their voices. Of course, you can give it a try if you are familiar with it later.
The four masters were sitting on the sofa, and standing opposite them was the director Teng Jianren. The director said: "It is a great honor to invite four high-level masters in our dubbing industry to the program group. I believe that all teachers have seen five different shows today. From the point of view of dubbing, the shadow puppetry performance of the repertoire, I believe that the teachers already have certain answers in their hearts. So, in order not to waste everyone's time, we are now entering the grading stage. Write down the score of the first performer."
Each teacher got the board sent by the staff, and they wrote the first place score on it. Of course, what they didn't know was that at this moment, the five actors who had finished their performance were sitting together in another lounge watching the teachers grade through the TV broadcast.
The older you are, the more famous you are, the more nervous you are. Among the five present, except for Yan Mulin who had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, the faces of the other four were all stiff. Tao Bochen, who was named just now, was short of breath and his face was pale. He thought that his innovation would be well received by the judges. These old guys don't understand him at all.
Without further ado, the four teachers began to score.
Teacher Fu Chunrong gave five points, teacher Tong Jianhua seven points, teacher Li Jin six points, and teacher Huang Xingyun five points.
Fu Chunrong couldn't help laughing and said: "Jianhua, you are soft-hearted here."
The other two teachers nodded in agreement.
The director saw the opportunity and asked: "Okay, the number one actor got twenty-four points. Teachers, can you tell me why you gave this score?"
Serious and rigorous Li Jin became the representative: "No matter how the play is arranged, just pointing to Lu Bu's character, the actor has not grasped it well. As a human being, although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is written about three-sex house slaves, the real Lu Bu is not slavish, it might be better if the actors figured it out more before performing."
Director Teng asked again: "Do the other teachers have anything to add?"
The teachers waved their hands one after another, there was really no need to add, it was just too bad.
Director Teng then asked: "Then the second actor's rating is for the play "Wu Song Fights the Tiger". Teacher, please rate..."
Lu Zhongting was lacking in acting, so he finally scored 28 points. Tang Wenhao's "Three Beats of the Bone Demon" scored 29 points, one point higher than Lu Zhongting. The two began to look at each other in the lounge, and they really wanted to get started. What to do, I can't control it!
Tian Zhenyang is a former professional shadow puppet actor whose score was significantly higher than the first three. He got thirty-four happy, and the other four applauded collectively. The score is really high!
Tian Zhenyang heaved a sigh of relief, at least the score is not too embarrassing, he made a downward gesture: "Let's see Mu Lin's score."
Naturally, they didn't forget that seeing Yan Mulin's performance on the live TV screen just now really moved them a little bit. Lu Zhongting and Tang Wenhao praised Yan Mulin's performance very well and with emotion, but now there is Tian Zhenyang Now, they can't boast anymore, Tao Bochen, they patronized and got nervous backstage, and didn't pay much attention.
At this time, the four teachers suddenly changed their previous calm state. They seemed to be looking forward to grading the fifth actor. Are they blind? Yan Mulin also felt that he was blind, and his attitude changed a little quickly. what's the situation? Did they see their performance backstage? Is there really such a powerful master? Just by listening to the sound...
The moment Yan Mulin looked directly at it, four whiteboards were erected on the screen, three with nine points and one with ten points, Tong Jianhua gave ten points.
Others: "..." Hey, what's the situation with you, Master!
Why are the scores so different! ! !
As the chief director, while admiring the four masters, Director Teng had to continue to ask questions: "Which teacher will comment on this actor? Can you tell me the reason for your high score?"
At first they wanted to fight, but after Fu Chunrong coughed, the three teachers looked at Fu Chunrong tacitly, and said silently in their hearts: I know that it is shameless to rely on the old to sell the old.
Fu Chunrong gave them a look of "you are really sensible", and he waited to say this sentence to the director: "Why are there two types of scores given for the same emotional drama, because it is very simple, "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" "After the whole performance, there was only one voice, and I believe that actor surprised us old men."
Li Jin said silently: "I'm not an old man yet. However, we all agree with the elder brother's statement. What we heard is indeed the case. The actor's voice is constantly changing backstage, and the voice of each character is portrayed vividly. For us, this is a real performance, a real art, and I think it should be one of the few talents in the dubbing industry. Maybe the audience can't find it, but it can't be hidden from our ears."
Huang Xingyun waved his fan and said to the camera: "My friend, if you are willing, if you are under thirty years old, I sincerely hope that I can accept you as an apprentice."
Tong Jianhua was speechless: "...Old Huang, you are not fair, you still have apprentices."
Huang Xingyun said: "There are not too many talents."
The director and others: "..." They did not expect that in the first episode, Yan Mulin would become the subject of discussion among the masters.
That's right, during the performance of "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast", there are five people who manipulate the shadow figures, but only one person moves the mouth, talks and sings. All the voices in the repertoire come from Yan Mulin, one play five roles.
The touching dialogue between husband and wife, the stubborn and stubborn mother Jiao, the overbearing and unreasonable brother Liu, and the powerless mother Liu, all these lively characters, their voices come from Yan Mulin's mouth.
Therefore, in "Peacock Flying Southeast", Yan Mulin is the only one performing all the vocals and dialogues that move his mouth. There is no doubt that he is the well-deserved number one today!
In the waiting room of the masters there was a heated discussion, but in the waiting room of the five actors there was silence. Even Tao Bochen didn't know what to say to choke. Lu Zhongting looked at Yan Mulin's expression, With an obsessed look on his face, Tang Wenhao slapped him on the back.
The apprentice the master wants to accept, envy...
An actor praised by everyone, envious...
Being able to play five roles at the same time, envy...
Tian Zhenyang just shook his head at Yan Mulin, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was probably lamenting that Yan Mulin is a person who should not be underestimated, he is not someone like Tao Bochen who has everything written on his face, he is really hard to guard against, he can always surprise and win.
As for Yan Mulin, well, he simply wanted to show off his skills.
Here, no one knows him, he is free to use his strengths, he has no idol baggage, he can perform freely, do what he wants, he is freeing himself, from now on!
It's just that he didn't expect that a master with great influence throughout the country would propose to him an invitation to accept apprentices.
It's better to be reserved, don't promise for now...
