Chapter 66
"You still carry cash with you!" Bai Huawei looked at him a little strangely. It seems that in the current era of mobile payment, it is very strange for a young man like Shen Ge to carry some cash and change with him. matter.

Shen Ge smiled: "Isn't it useful now?"

"What did that person give you?" Bai Huawei stopped discussing the topic, and focused on the two tickets in Singer Shen's possession, "Is it a movie ticket?"

Speaking of this, Bai Huawei blushed a little. Obviously, the woman just now regarded the two of them as a couple, so she gave them movie tickets for them to watch together.

"No," Shen Ge shook his head and handed the ticket to her, "It's two tickets for Peking Opera performances."

"It turned out to be this."

Bai Huawei's interest suddenly decreased a little: "I guess she didn't buy this ticket, it should be given to her by someone else. She didn't want to go to see it, so I just gave it to you."

Shen Ge nodded, Bai Huawei was right.

Traditional culture is declining in this era, and opera, one of the quintessence of the country, is also in decline. Although there are many fans who love opera, it is only a small circle after all. Even now, the tickets for the performance are not so easy to sell. , can only be promoted as a reward in some activities, or as a gift between friends.

Of course, even so, there may not be many people who can watch the performance.

The program of this performance is the classic play "Suo Lin Nang" by the Cheng school, and this play is also one of the four famous actors, the masterpiece of Mr. Cheng Yanqiu.

Judging from the introduction of the actors on the ticket, this play is performed by several young actors today.

"The People's Theater, isn't it right in front?" Bai Huawei said, seeing the address and pointing in the direction ahead.

Shen Ge asked: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Okay!" Bai Huawei nodded.

In fact, Shen Ge is also a theater fan. He practiced old-fashioned singing for a period of time before, but his voice broke down later, so he stopped practicing.

As they walked, they came to the entrance of the theater.

The entire theater is built in an antique style, with a strong humanistic atmosphere, red and white tones, red wooden doors, complicated patterns painted on the walls, and raised eaves corners on the top, all highlighting its former glory and scenery .

Since the People's Theater officially opened on May 1955, 5, it has gone through ups and downs for half a century, and it still looks so solemn, solemn, elegant and simple.Perhaps, it is the strong historical and cultural atmosphere that endows it with such a heavy feeling after years of precipitation and condensing.

The residence of Mr. Mei Lanfang, the first dean, is not far from the theater, and he can go to the theater for rehearsals and performances every day within a few minutes.Although the master has passed away, the scenes of "Farewell My Concubine", "The Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers", and "The Drunken Concubine" are deeply engraved here with the opening of the theater...

Even if it is lonely now, it will never fade away.

Shen Ge and Bai Huawei stepped into the theater. At this moment, the theater looked deserted. Occasionally, one or two people passed by them. There were not many people in the hall, and the elderly accounted for the vast majority. It is some middle-aged people.

And there are even fewer young people like Shen Ge and Bai Huawei. In addition, the number of them does not exceed ten fingers. A few of them are bored with their heads down and playing with their mobile phones. It seems that they did not come in to watch the performance, but just to have a A place to rest.

"Twenty and ten minutes."

Shen Ge glanced at the time on the ticket, and it officially started at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Bai Huawei said: "I suddenly remembered that I used to listen to opera with my grandfather when I was young, but at that time I was still young, singing babbling on the stage, I didn't understand anything, I just thought it was fun, watching the opera on the stage The actor flipped his sleeves, and the wind swayed small steps like willows, as beautiful as a fairy..."

"Indeed." Shen Ge nodded.

After 10 minutes, the performance officially began.

"Suolin Sac" is a classic play of the Cheng school, and the Spring and Autumn Pavilion is one fold, and the two-six turn running water segment is even more classic among the classics. Therefore, the difficulty of this play is not too big for a young actor , especially in the full version.

Shen Ge looked at it. It was written on the ticket that there were two actors playing Xue Xiangling. Presumably, the two should play alternately. After all, this play lasted for nearly three hours. I understand, but if the throat is broken, the damage will be great.

"Suolin Bag", also known as "Peony Tribulation", was written by Mr. Cheng Yanqiu who invited the famous playwright Weng Ouhong. It is mainly about Xue Xiangling, a rich lady, who is kind-hearted and rescues the impoverished woman Zhao Shouzhen who married with her on her wedding day...until a natural disaster later The story of being in trouble, but being recognized and helped by the impoverished woman who once helped.

The dowry was [-]% off, and as soon as the actor who played Xue Xiangling opened his voice, the smell of Cheng Pai came out instantly.

People who are not familiar with opera may not be able to recognize the unique voice characteristics of each school, but feel that the timbres are all mellow and charming, making it difficult to distinguish; The dignified features make people know it at a glance.

There is a sentence that summarizes the characteristics of the four schools of Mei Shang, Cheng and Xun:

The style of the Mei School, the singing of the Cheng School, the waves of the Xun School, and the greatness of the Shang School!

It is enough to show that Cheng Pai has its unique characteristics.

However, at this moment, Shen Ge knows the taste contained in this play, Bai Huawei knows it, and the old man in the front row who beats the time with his hands knows it. Besides, who else knows?
Young people who bow their heads and play games will not know; middle-aged people who take pictures and post them on Moments to show off their culture will not know; and those who regard this as a lullaby and sleep on the table will not know...

Shen Ge smiled slightly, and continued to watch the performance on stage.

The decline of culture does not allow him to criticize anything, but there is emotion.

The actors on the stage sang word by word, and they hadn't experienced too much performance training. Their performance was undoubtedly flawed, but Shen Ge and the old man who loves Peking Opera watched it with relish.

Compared with the popular Western culture, the opera culture shrinks like a small circle, and some theater fans in this small circle are too extreme. Whenever they see young actors making mistakes, they will criticize, lament, and say Some discourses such as "you can't perform on stage if you don't have enough skill", "it's really not as good as one generation after another".

In this era, the audience should give them more tolerance, understanding and encouragement, and give them more opportunities to grow. Otherwise, without fresh blood, this circle will only shrink even smaller.

On the stage, Xue Xiangling was singing:

"This is all a myth made out of thin air, boasting the rich and the rich."

"Where is Lin'er sent by a god, Jade saplings will be born only after virtue."

"What's the point of a little sac, save her hunger and thirst than Qiong Yao."
