Chapter 749 "Yu Xi Tan" by Da Qingyi
Li Qingyi, Chen Xingchang's beloved disciple.
Last year during the Spring Festival Gala, he sang a song called "The New Drunken Concubine" and became famous all over the world.
After becoming popular, he did not dive into the entertainment industry like others, but returned to the Peking Opera circle and used his own fame to promote it.
On one side is the golden entertainment circle, and on the other is the declining Peking Opera circle.
Another person would not hesitate to join the entertainment industry, dream? How much is the dream appearance fee?
The price of ten Peking Opera performances is not as good as him singing "The New Drunken Concubine" on stage.
But he still insists on singing Peking Opera for his dream.
Such people deserve respect.
Over the past year, Peking Opera’s life has become better, but it is still difficult.
He sang "The Drunken Concubine" while singing Peking Opera.
The audience would get tired of always singing the same song, so he added "Chi Ling", "Watching on the Wall", "Wukong", "Rap Face", "Slow Voice" to his playlist ” and other songs.
Xu Nuo originally didn’t plan to charge him, but he insisted on paying.
With his efforts, Peking Opera began a difficult reform, incorporating new musical instruments, adding popular elements, and changing the pronunciation of dialects.
Everything is for one goal, to make the audience like it.
The changes in the Chen Jiaban also attracted numerous criticisms. Insiders accused them of being "traitors to Peking Opera" and "heretics", and that they were leading Peking Opera to a dead end.
And when they were looking for performance opportunities, they were ridiculed by people in the industry, "This is lowering their status!"
People in the industry did not understand, and outsiders also felt that they were asking for trouble. eat.
For decades, Peking Opera’s dramas have been relying on state funding, with performance income not even 3%.
The main theme is that although you are not very rich, you can ensure the harvest despite droughts and floods, and you will not die of hunger.
So in the eyes of most people, this is hard work.
Chen’s class is still difficult.
So this year’s Spring Festival Gala promised to invite him again, and he wanted to help them again.
The song Li Qingyi will sing tonight is "Yu Xi Tan". The reason why he chose this song is because of Zhao Lei.
The song Zhao Lei sang for a while was "Farewell My Concubine", which was just right.
This was what Zhao Lei took the initiative after learning about Li Qingyi's situation.
On the stage, Li Qingyi wore a long skirt.
Music sounded, war horses neighed, and there was a lot of noise.
The audience immediately thought of the siege of Gaixia. In this siege of Gaixia, the Overlord was defeated and committed suicide. According to legend, Yu Ji also died in love.
In fact, history does not have too many records about Yu Ji, not even her real name, year of birth and death, birthplace, etc. are not recorded.
Later generations speculated from "Gaixia Ge" that Yu Ji died for her love.
After the prelude, Li Qingyi, dressed in red, began to sing.
"The sands of the Chu river have gathered and dispersed, the sun and the moon have changed, and the vicissitudes of life have changed.
In troubled times, many beauties have changed with a long sigh. br>
After all, it's just a breeze. "
Li Qingyi's pure drama made the audience applaud as soon as he opened his mouth.
"That's it! ”
“Awesome! Li Qingyi is invincible! ”
“Goosebumps are rising. ”
Li Qingyi was still singing, her red clothes fluttering.
"It is difficult to say farewell to each other with a spear and a horse to level the world."
I heard tears in my eyes,
Drinking this cup with you in the warm and cold west wind and recalling it all night long The blowing keeps on,
I stay drunk and watch the sword concubine dance in the dim light.”
At this time, a person suddenly walked out from behind the screen on the stage.
A strong man wearing armor, holding a spear and a sword at his waist.
The spear was waved, and cold light splashed everywhere.
The audience knew immediately that Xiang Yu was here, but they didn’t pay too much attention to it. They probably thought he was a backup dancer.
When the light came to him, it turned out to be Zhao Lei! ! The audience applauded.
"Zhao Lei is awesome!"
"Damn it, Overlord Yu Ji's dream collaboration!"
"I'm in tears."
Zhao Lei is famous for singing "Farewell My Concubine" ", coupled with the fact that he has always been called the voice of the emperor, the audience has high recognition of his Xiang Yu.
"The next song of Gai Li Chaan Chu is singing from all directions,
With sadness, Cijun drank the sword and the blood fell into the frost.
It’s hard to let go of a past, so why not let it go?
The place where your soul returns is the vastness. ”
Li Qingyi was singing and Zhao Lei was dancing with the sword.
The audience thought that Zhao Lei would sing a duet with Li Qingyi, but unexpectedly he just came up to dance with him.
You must know that Zhao Lei is a member of the national team, and he is already one of the top players, and now he is dancing as a backup for the not-so-famous Li Qingyi.
Zhao Lei, who is willing to be a green leaf, received warm applause from the audience.
People in the country admire the conduct of a gentleman, and at this time, Zhao Lei is considered a gentleman by everyone.
“It’s hard to say farewell to each other with a spear and a horse to level the world,
There is a sound of laughter and tears are streaming down my face,
Drinking this cup with you, the cold and warm west wind blows memories all night long.
I stay drunk and watch the sword concubine dance in the dim light. "
Zhao Lei performed the sword dance well on the stage. Zhao Lei, who had practiced for a long time, tried his best.
"The swords of the Han soldiers broke the moonlight in confusion,
< br>I am alone in a boat by the river without thinking about it for the rest of my life,
It's hard to let go of a past relationship, so why not,
I will be with you in the next life. "
Li Qingyi suddenly snatched the sword from Zhao Lei's hand. Zhao Lei stretched out his hand to block it, but failed in the end.
The singing suddenly stopped, the sword clanged to the ground, and Li Qingyi fell to the ground.
The music gradually died down.
Gaixia is a tragedy for Yu Ji and Xiang Yu. Heroes and beauties go to hell together.
Zhao Lei knelt down slumped to thunderous applause.
The audience applauded the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, and also applauded the wonderful performances of Zhao Lei and Li Qingyi. "Mom, what is this aunt? She sings beautifully."
"He sings Peking Opera."
"Yeah, Peking Opera."
The old people were unexpectedly generous after hearing such "opera style".
Some of them have also heard the story of Li Qingyi and know what this person is doing.
“It’s good to be alive. Only when you are alive can you sing and watch plays.”
There are fewer and fewer Peking Opera performances today. The Grand Theater looked down on San Gua Liang Zao and was reluctant to perform, and could not get jobs for small road shows.
There are fewer and fewer places to watch theater. In the eyes of the elderly, being able to watch theater is a good thing.
In Beijing, Chen Xingchang looked at his beloved disciple on the screen, his eyes a little red.
Li Qingyi was his apprentice. It could be said that he had watched him grow up. Chen Xingchang felt heartbroken.
In this year, Li Qingyi suffered too much.
He must practice singing well. This is the only way out for him and the Chen family class.
When singing, he must be very energetic. If he doesn't sing well, he will lose his reputation.
How could Chen Xingchang not feel distressed when two big mountains were pressing down on him.
On the other side, in a courtyard, several old people looked at Li Qingyi on the TV and did not speak for a long time.
"Old Li, is this really okay?"
"I don't know, but my apprentice said something that I still remember until now." An old man closed his eyes slightly, faintly Said: "He said that Peking Opera finally has some vitality."
The other old man was startled and looked at the others with cloudy eyes.
“Yes, if there is no vitality, Peking Opera will really die.”
“Hmph, if Peking Opera relies on two deviant boys, then it will really die. ”
“This is a waste of national essence!”
“It’s better to live than to die. Let’s live first!”
A group of Peking Opera masters were arguing endlessly. They saw the changes in Li Qingyi and Chen Jiaban. Some people were firmly opposed, some were ambiguous, and some secretly supported it.
But the audience welcomed this change.
Li Qingyi's goal was achieved. With the help of the Spring Festival Gala stage, the promised help, and the support of Zhao Lei, Peking Opera once again stood in front of the national audience.
Li Qingyi doesn’t know whether he will succeed or not, but he will keep going.
On the Spring Festival Gala stage, the curtain reopened.
The scenery is still the same scenery, and the people are still the same two people.
"Farewell My Concubine", when Zhao Lei sang it before, there was always only Bawang without Ji, but this time Ji is here.
"Now please enjoy "Farewell My Concubine"!"
Zhao Lei still has the long sword in his hand.
“I stood in the fierce wind,
I wish I could let go of all the heartache,
looking at the sky,
the clouds are moving in all directions,
with the sword in my hand,
asking the world who is the hero. ”
Li Qingyi danced gracefully behind him. This kind of linkage was very new to everyone.
The "Yu Xi Tan" sung by Li Qingyi just now is very nice, and the "Farewell My Concubine" sung by Zhao Lei is a must-play song in KTV.
“You are the most important in my heart,
We share joys and sorrows in life and death,
Your tenderness is deep in my bones,
In exchange for my arrogance and indulgence. ”
The Overlord danced with the sword, and the Concubine danced with majestic singing and graceful dancing. The audience did not hesitate to applaud.
The collaboration between the two was an eye-opener for the audience, and Li Qingyi made another success A wave of presence, for him and for Peking Opera.
Zhao Lei. and Li Qingyi stepped down, and then performed a few more shows, but the ratings did not drop at all.
There were three heavyweights who did not appear on the cast list, Wu Gaofeng, Xu Nuo and Lin Wanqing. Without these three people, the Spring Festival Gala would be incomplete
The audience waited and waited for the cross talk show "Interviews with Liar Company" by Li Zhanshan and Liu Qun.
That’s right, it’s another mission-based program.
Many people want to change the channel when they hear this name. Why? Everyone doesn’t like to watch this kind of program.
No one likes to be preached during the Chinese New Year. There is something wrong with those who like to be preached to.
“Slip away.”
"It's boring."
Many viewers had already placed their hands on the remote control. At this time, the subtitles were displayed, and they saw the familiar name, Promise.
"Hey, it's a promise again? Then take another look."
"You have to give him some face. Just watch it for 30 seconds. If it's not funny, change it."
Li Zhanshan and Liu Qun started shaking off their baggage as soon as they came on the stage. As the music played, Li Zhanshan began to bow.
Bow, bow, bow again.
The audience immediately laughed and applauded.
“Your name is Jia, isn’t it fake?”
“Fake! Can we tell people their real names in our profession?”
After some pulling, Liu Qun was also confused. "Which of your words is true and which is false?"
Li Zhanshan took out an ID card and said, "I brought my ID card!"
When Liu Qun saw it, he was immediately relieved.
“The ID card is fake!” Li Zhanshan was happy.
The audience also laughed.
“It’s interesting.”
"It's okay, not awkward."
"You can always trust Li Zhanshan and Liu Qun."
"No, I believe in the promise."
The crosstalk advances, The universe of Thieves begins to gradually improve.
Scam company surfaced.
