"Dan? Why? " Xiao Chengru said strangely, "don''t you never wear girls'' clothes? It''s a woman''s role. "
"It''s normal not to wear clothes. Costumes are not included. It seems that no actor refuses to perform because the characters in movies or TV plays need to wear women''s clothes." Xiao Yao said, "actually, as you know, I''m participating in the contest of the voice of China. Now I have an idea, that is, to add Beijing opera to the songs during the contest. So I not only need to learn, but also need to finish it quickly in a short time. At least it can help me reach the level of being able to perform on the stage. Can you help me find such a teacher? "
"It was for the singing competition." Xiao Chengru, a little disappointed, said, "I thought you were interested in Peking Opera. You really want to learn opera."
"I''m interested in Peking Opera," Xiao said with a smile. "That''s why I want to combine pop music with Peking Opera. You don''t want me to leave everything I''ve learned and concentrate on singing, do you
Xiao Chengru thinks so. Xiao Yao from primary school many things, also began to slowly out of the results. As an actor, he has already won the best new actor of TV drama type, and he has also produced a single in singing. Moreover, after more than ten years of music and instrument playing, it is impossible to change his career to be a Peking Opera actor now. Moreover, the influence of the program "voice of China" is also very good. If he can sing a song with Peking opera singing during the competition, isn''t it another way to help promote this quintessence handed down by our ancestors?
"That''s true." On this thought, Xiao Chengru nodded and said, "since you want to learn, my grandfather will do his best to help. When it comes to the famous master in Yanjing city that my grandfather knew, it must be Mr. Qingchang, the direct descendant of Mr. Mei. But he has strict rules for accepting apprentices. "
"No, I''m not going to be a teacher this time." Xiao Yao quickly interrupted his grandfather and said, "I''m mainly for this competition. I''m sure it''s impossible to keep practicing like learning martial arts. I don''t want to smash Mr. Qingchang''s signboard in the future. I have enough masters now. I don''t want to have more than I can count in the future. You see if you can discuss with Mr. Qingchang. If you don''t pay homage to your teacher, it''s just for your face to give advice to the younger generation. If not, you can help me find a less famous instructor. "
"Well, let me talk to Mr. Qingchang first." Xiao Cheng is Confucian and Taoist.
"Now? You should have his number Xiao Yao''s way to strike while the iron is hot.
"You are in such a hurry." Xiao Chengru has some funny ideas.
"There are less than 20 days left for the recording of the next game. I have to know what level I can reach early to prepare the corresponding songs." Xiao Yao scratched his head.
"OK, you''ve been listening to the play with me all day. I''ll call you now to ask for it." Xiao Chengru shakes his head and takes out his cell phone with a smile.
...
"OK, thank you very much." Xiao Chengru hangs up.
"Grandfather, what do you say first?" Xiao Yao sees Xiao Chengru end the call and asks in a hurry.
"Mr. Qingchang said to see you first and listen to your voice." Xiao Cheng said, "as long as your voice condition is not too bad, he is willing to help."
"Yes, it should." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "when can I see you?"
"I know you are in a hurry. I have an appointment for tonight. Let''s go straight to his house after dinner. " Xiao Cheng is Confucian and Taoist.
"OK, after listening to the play all afternoon, Grandpa, you are hungry too. I''ll treat you to dinner. Let''s go." Xiao Yao said immediately.
Xiao Chengru and Xiao Yao went to have a big dinner together. After a short rest, they took a taxi to Mei Qingchang''s home. When it comes to the famous singer of Beijing opera, all Xiao Yao knows is a famous Mr. Mei Lanfang who was born 100 years ago and has the same existence in past and present lives. As for Mr. Mei Qingchang, Xiao Yao does not know whether he is the descendant of Mr. Mei Lanfang or whether there is such a person in his previous life. However, since his grandfather Xiao Chengru said that he was a famous master in Beijing, he must be a very powerful figure in Beijing opera.
Xiao Yao saw Mr. Mei''s face was white and tight, and there was no beard on his face. At first sight, he looked like a man who had been on stage for many years.
After exchanging greetings with Xiao Chengru, Mei Qingchang focuses on Xiao Yao. Seventeen or eighteen year olds are pretty, but they are much taller than other children of this age. If it''s on the stage of Beijing opera, it''s not suitable for him to be a female Dan actor. It''s basically difficult to find an actor to play with him. However, they are going to the stage of the singing competition. They just want to add a section of Beijing opera to the song, that is to say, they perform alone. There is no problem of supporting the opera.
"Do you want to learn to sing Peking Opera?" Mei Qingchang looks at Xiao Yaodao. Although Xiao Chengru and he have said on the phone, but he is still habitual to ask about the parties.
"Well." Xiao Yao nodded.
"Let''s hear it with a voice first." Mei Qingchang said."Oh." Xiao Yao agreed, then "eh ~ ah ~" came.
"Not bad, have you practiced?" Mei Qingchang nodded.
"Well, my grandfather is an actor," Xiao Yao pointed to Xiao Chengru on one side, and then said, "my father is a singer. When he was a child, he learned the skills of opening and practicing voice with them, and he has practiced arithmetic for more than ten years."
"That''s true. Xiao''s grandson, it''s a family tradition." Mei Qingchang looked at Xiao Cheng with a smile and said, "your grandson is very good."
"I don''t need you to praise him. As long as you are willing to give him some advice, I will thank you for selling my face." Xiao Chengru also said with a smile.
"Well, how much do you want to learn?" Mei Qingchang turns to Xiao Yao again and asks.
"My requirements are not high either, as long as I can start quickly, reach the professional level in my spare time, and perform one or two paragraphs on stage in more than ten days." Xiao Yao said frankly, "but since I''ve learned, I don''t want to learn the wild way at first, and I can''t go back, so I asked my grandfather to invite you to guide me."
"It''s not demanding." Mei Qingchang said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to add Peking Opera to pop songs. Do you want to add one or two paragraphs to pop songs when you say you can perform them?"
"Yes." Xiao Yao said, "the main thing is to strengthen training so that I can sing one or two paragraphs."
"What kind of jokes? Do you have a score? Show me how difficult it is Mei Qingchang stretched out his hand.
"No, but the lyrics and music are all in my head, but I can''t write the score of Beijing opera." Xiao Yao said helplessly, "if I can sing for you, I''m sure I can''t sing very well. Just listen to that, OK?"
"Isn''t it just an idea that you just finished listening to the play this afternoon? Now we have all the lyrics and music? " Xiao Chengru was a little surprised.
"Well, on the way here, my mind came out, so I may not be very mature." Xiao Yao had to lie and pretend to be embarrassed.
"It''s OK. Sing it." Mei Qingchang waved his hand.
Xiao Yao cleared his throat, and then held his voice to sing the Beijing Opera Aria of the two popular songs in his previous life.
"Strictly speaking, these two passages are not really Peking Opera." Mei Qingchang frowned and said, "but most people can hear the taste of Peking Opera. It''s just the charm of Beijing. But it''s not wrong for you to come to me. You didn''t sing very well just now. If you want to sing these two passages well, you really need to learn some skills of Beijing opera. Well, it''s mainly about the skills of singing in Tsing Yi
"Really?" In his previous life, Xiao Yao only listened to songs, but he didn''t really study whether those two passages were real Peking Opera. But now what he cares about is not this. What he cares about is: "can I sing this well in more than ten days?"
"It depends on how many days you spend in the past ten days, how much time you can learn from me and how much time you can practice after you go back." Mei Qingchang said with a smile.
"Ah?" Xiao Yao is a little confused. He only knew that he was going to Shen Na''s practice room tomorrow. How long Shen Na arranged to receive her guidance in the practice room has not been said. Not only that, he has to prepare two songs this time. He also has to prepare another song for rehearsal, and the soundtrack of these two songs will take time to work out. So, where does he have more than ten days?
"Well..." Xiao Yao quickly calculated in his mind, and then said, "count ten days. I''ll come to you for at least ten days, one or two hours at a time. Then I''ll go back and Practice for another one or two hours."
"It''s a bit of a suspense." Mei Qingchang shook his head and said, "it''s more certain to double the time."
"It doesn''t matter. Double the time." Xiao Yao said, "in early August, it''s a 16-to-4 competition. At the end of August, it''s the finals. If it''s too late, I''ll change a song and leave the song with Beijing Opera and Beijing charm to the finals. "
"Little guy is very confident," Mei Qingchang said with a smile. "It''s as if you will make it to the final. What if you are eliminated in the competition in early August?"
"Ha ha, there''s nothing wrong with self-confidence." Xiao Yao scratched his head and said, "even if I''m eliminated, I don''t want to take a song that I haven''t learned well. But I still have to learn. Even if I can''t make it to the finals, I can use it when I release albums in the future. "
"All right, kid. I like that attitude." Mei Qingchang said, "come here early tomorrow. Let''s start tomorrow."
"Tomorrow can''t, tomorrow we a few contestants collective participation in the program tutor''s first guidance class, I''m not good absent." Xiao Yao continued to scratch his head.
