Chapter 749 Da Qingyi's "Yu Xi Tan"
Li Qingyi, Chen Xingchang's favorite disciple.
He sang "The New Drunken Concubine" on the Spring Festival Gala last year, and became famous.
After becoming famous, he did not plunge into the entertainment industry like others, but returned to the Peking Opera circle and used his fame to promote it.
On one side is the entertainment industry full of gold, and on the other side is the Peking Opera circle that is gradually declining.
Who else would not hesitate to plunge into the entertainment industry? Dream? How much is the appearance fee for the dream?
The price of ten Peking Opera performances is not as much as his singing of "The New Drunken Concubine" on stage.
But he still insists on singing Peking Opera for his dream.
Such people deserve respect.
Peking Opera has had a better time this year, but it is still difficult.
He sang "The New Drunken Concubine" while singing Peking Opera.
The audience would get tired of always singing the same song, so he added "Chi Ling", "Bi Shang Guan", "Wukong", "Rap Mask", "Sheng Sheng Man" and other songs to his song list.
Xu Nuo originally did not intend to charge him, but he insisted on giving it.
With his efforts, Peking Opera began a difficult reform, incorporating new musical instruments, adding popular elements, and changing dialect pronunciation.
Everything is for one goal, to make the audience like it.
The changes of the Chen family class also attracted countless criticisms. People in the circle accused them of being "traitors to Peking Opera" and "pagans", and they were leading Peking Opera into a dead end.
And they were sneered at by people in the circle for looking for performance opportunities everywhere, "This is a self-degradation!"
People in the circle don't understand, and people outside the circle also think they are asking for trouble.
For decades, Peking Opera dramas have been living on state funding, and the performance income is less than 3%.
Although the main one is not very rich, it is guaranteed to make money regardless of drought or flood, and it is okay as long as you don't starve to death.
So in the eyes of most people, this is a hard way to eat.
Chen's class is still difficult.
So this year's Spring Festival Gala Xu Nuo invited him again, and he wants to help them again.
The song that Li Qingyi will sing tonight is "Yu Xi Tan", and the reason for choosing this song is because of Zhao Lei.
The song Zhao Lei will sing is "Farewell My Concubine", which is just right.
This is also what Zhao Lei took the initiative to propose after learning about Li Qingyi's situation.
On the stage, Li Qingyi is wearing a long skirt.
The music sounded, and the war horses neighed, making a commotion.
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 committed suicide for love.
In fact, history does not have too many records about Yu Ji, even her real name, birth and death years, birthplace, etc. are not recorded.
Later generations speculated from "Gaixia Song" that Yu Ji should have committed suicide for love.
After the prelude, Li Qingyi, who was dressed in red, began to sing.
"How many times has the Chu River flowed and scattered, and the vicissitudes of life have changed.
How many beauties in troubled times have exchanged for a long sigh.
Who has ever stepped on the Qin Pass in Julu? Thousands of miles of wars and blood,
In the end, it is nothing but a breeze and a cloud."
Li Qingyi's pure opera voice made the audience applaud as soon as she opened her mouth.
"That's the taste!"
"Great! Li Qingyi is invincible!"
"I have goose bumps."
Li Qingyi is still singing, her red dress fluttering.
"I rode a horse and conquered the world, but it's hard to say goodbye this time.
A cry of "Yu Xi, Yu Xi" has brought tears to my eyes.
Drinking this cup with you, the cold and warm west wind blows all night long, and the memories keep blowing.
I watch my sword concubine dance under the lamplight."
At this time, a person suddenly walked out from behind the screen on the stage.
A strong man wearing armor, holding a long spear and a sword on his waist.
The long spear was waving, and the cold light splashed.
The audience knew at a glance that it was Xiang Yu, but everyone didn't care too much, and guessed that he was a dancer.
At this time, the light was on him, and it turned out to be Zhao Lei! ! The audience applauded.
"Zhao Lei is awesome!"
"Fuck, the King of Chu and Yu Ji are linked in a dream!"
"My eyes are full of tears."
Because Zhao Lei sang "Farewell My Concubine" and has always been called the voice of the emperor, the audience has a high degree of recognition for his Xiang Yu.
"At Gaixia, the song of Chu songs is heard everywhere.
I drink the sword with sorrow and the blood falls into the cold frost.
It's hard to let go of the past, but it doesn't matter if the relationship ends.
The place where my soul and you return is the vastness."
Li Qingyi was singing and Zhao Lei was dancing with a sword.
The audience thought Zhao Lei would sing with Li Qingyi, but he just came up to dance with her.
You should know that Zhao Lei is a member of the national team and his status is already the top one. Now he is dancing with Li Qingyi, who is not so famous.
Zhao Lei, who is willing to be a supporting actor, received warm applause from the audience.
Chinese people admire the gentleman's style, and Zhao Lei is a gentleman in everyone's eyes at this time.
"I rode my horse and conquered the world with my spear, but now it's hard to say goodbye.
I cried when I heard "Yu Xi, Yu Xi".
I drank this cup with you, and the cold and warm west wind blew all night long.
I watched my sword concubine dance under the lamp in my drunkenness."
Zhao Lei danced with a sword on the stage in a very realistic way. Zhao Lei, who had practiced for a long time, used all his skills.
"The chaos of the Han soldiers' swords broke the moonlight.
I am alone in a boat by the river and don't think about it for the rest of my life.
It's hard to let go of a past, but it doesn't matter if the relationship ends.
I will spend the next life with you in the mountains and rivers."
Li Qingyi suddenly snatched the sword from Zhao Lei's hand. Zhao Lei stretched out his hand to block it, but he failed to block it.
The singing stopped suddenly, the sword fell to the ground with a clang, and Li Qingyi fell to the ground.
The music gradually subsided.
Gaixia was a tragedy for Yu Ji and Xiang Yu. The hero and the beauty went to the underworld together.
Zhao Lei knelt down dejectedly, and the applause was thunderous.
The audience applauded the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, as well as the wonderful performances of Zhao Lei and Li Qingyi.
"Mom, what is this auntie's song? 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 nowadays. 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's eyes turned red as he looked at his beloved disciple on the screen.
Li Qingyi was the apprentice he raised single-handedly. It could be said that he watched him grow up, which made Chen Xingchang feel 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 didn't speak for a long time.
"Lao 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 and said quietly: "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 more vitality, Peking Opera will really die."
"Hmph, if Peking Opera relies on two deviant boys, then it is really dead!"
"This is a waste of national essence!"
"It's better to be alive than to be dead. Let's live first and then talk about the rest!"
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 the change.
Li Qingyi's goal was achieved. Peking Opera once again stood in front of the national audience with the help of the Spring Festival Gala stage, the help promised, and the support of Zhao Lei.
Li Qingyi doesn't know whether he will succeed or not, but he will keep going.
On the Spring Festival Gala stage, the curtain opened again.
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 had the long sword in his hand.
"I stand in the fierce wind,
I wish I could wipe out the endless heartache,
Look at the sky,
Clouds move in all directions,
Sword in hand,
Ask the world who is the hero. "
Li Qingyi danced gracefully behind him. This kind of linkage was very new to everyone.
"Yu Xi Tan" sung by Li Qingyi just now is very nice, and "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, life and death together,
You use your tenderness to cut into the 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 gained another sense of presence, both for him and for Peking Opera.
Zhao Lei and Li Qingyi left the stage and performed several more shows, but the ratings did not drop at all.
There are still three heavyweights on the list of performers who did not appear, Wu Gaofeng, Xu Nuo and Lin Wanqing. Without these three, the Spring Festival Gala would not be complete.
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.
During the Chinese New Year, no one likes to be lectured. There is something wrong with those who like to be preached to.
"Slip away."
"It's boring."
Many viewers had already put their hands on the remote control. When the subtitles were displayed, they saw the familiar name, Promise.
"Hey, is it written with 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 stage. As the music played, Li Zhanshan began to bow.
Bow, bow, and bow.
The audience immediately laughed and applauded.
"Your name is Jia Bujia?"
"False! In our profession, can we tell others their real names?"
After some pulling and 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 laughed too.
"It's interesting."
"It's okay, not awkward."
"You can always trust Li Zhanshan and Liu Qun."
"No, I believe in the promise."
As the cross talk progresses, the Thief universe begins to gradually improve.
Scam company surfaced.
