Chapter 72 Basic Skills of Opera

"Thank you, Teacher Xiu, I will pay attention." Chen Shuo bowed deeply with joy upon hearing this.

Xiu Qing helped him up and said, "Okay, don't call me teacher. I'm not a teacher, so I feel embarrassed.

Also, forget about yours. I think you are not very old. If you don’t mind, just call me Uncle Qing. "

Seeing that he was easy-going, Chen Shuo relaxed a lot and said with a smile: "Then let's call you Brother Qing. Don't call me old anymore."

"Okay, if you don't feel awkward, it's okay to call me that. Just don't call me teacher anymore, and don't call me yours."

Xiu Qing no longer dwelled on this, looked at the desire in his eyes, and said, "If you are not in a hurry, then let's start now?"

"It's what I asked for."

"Well, before learning, you have to understand the history of opera. Opera originated from a primitive song and dance...

There are many types of opera, and each type of opera has different factions, and the types are as diverse as the stars.

The Baihua Garden of Opera has been formed with the five major opera types of "Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, Ping Opera, and Henan Opera" as the core.

What I studied was Yu Opera, and as for the factions, it was a family tradition. There are no famous figures, so it cannot be called a faction. "

Xiu Qing paused and then said: "These may be a bit far.

‘Singing’, ‘reading’, ‘acting’ and ‘playing’ are the four basic skills of opera.

‘Singing’ refers to singing skills, ‘nian’ refers to musical chanting, ‘doing’ refers to dance-like body movements, and ‘fighting’ refers to martial arts and falling skills.

The walking movements you want to learn can be classified as "doing" work.

Let’s start with the most basic hands, eyes, body and steps of ‘doing’ Qigong.

Let’s start with the steps.

To learn to walk, let’s talk about the feet first. There are three foot postures: hooking the foot, stretching the foot, and spreading the foot. There are foot positions such as forward, figure-eight, T-shaped, poke-leg, and step-up.

…”

It is really a reality to teach young people, from the origin of opera, from the origin of Henan opera, from the most basic hand, eye, body and steps, all the guidance.

Correspondingly, Chen Shuo learned very quickly when faced with such teaching. Basically, Xiu Qing did it once and he could follow it.

Seeing that he was learning quickly, Xiu Qing was also very happy. Any master would want to teach a smart apprentice.

It's just that he also knows that nowadays opera is in decline and not as popular as the performing arts industry. Otherwise, he really wants to ask Chen Shuo if he is willing to learn opera from him.

Seeing that the crew was about to set off, the two of them ended their morning's teaching.

After thousands of years of development, opera has developed a complex and systematic practice method.

Just talking about it might not be enough to finish it in a day or two, let alone teach Chen Shuo.

In one morning's work, Chen Shuo only learned the most basic foot posture and position, and also learned the most basic square step.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn more, but the fact is that he has no previous foundation.

Even if he has the foundation of Wu Qin Xi and can learn it quickly, he still has to do it one by one, plus Xiu Qing's explanation, which takes a lot of time.

Another thing, no matter how early the two of them got up, they didn't have much time to finish practicing. The crew was also busy with filming in the past two days, so they had to leave work early.

Being able to teach so many things was thanks to Chen Shuo's quick learning.

After learning the Sifang Step and finishing the tutorial, a message appeared in front of Chen Shuo:

"The character completes a drama performance learning challenge. Based on the character's gains, career experience +100, skill: drama experience +100."

This time's learning challenge, coupled with the gains from yesterday's filming, have made significant progress in experience.

Seeing that the crew's motorcade was about to leave, Chen Shuo rushed into the restaurant and swept away a lot of food.

Before the crew set off, I gave some to Xiu Qing to eat on the way.

Today, because of the reason he was teaching himself, he was unable to have breakfast. There was nothing he could say to make people hungry.

Then he said goodbye to him and got on the car heading to Niujia Village. Xiu Qing had to film other scenes today, which was not the same venue as him.

When he got to the car, Chen Shuo first said hello to Wang Gang and others. Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Huang Xiaolei, he sat directly in it.

Chen Shuo handed the plastic bag containing the buns to her and asked, "Do you want it?"

Huang Xiaolei picked up a bun unceremoniously, took a bite and asked, "When did you meet Teacher Xiu?"

At this time, Chen Shuo asked Ren Yuanyuan and Huang Chong on the other side: "Do you want it?"

"No, we've already eaten." Ren Yuanyuan's throat moved and she waved her hands. She felt like she had gained weight during this period and she really couldn't eat anymore.

Huang Chong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

Chen Shuo put the plastic bag on his lap and said to Huang Xiaolei: "We met during practice this morning. Brother Qing also taught me some basic opera skills."

As he spoke, he stuffed a small bun into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.

Things here in the south are small. A small bun is less than two fingers wide, which is not enough for him to fit between his teeth.

He might as well pick up two at once and stuff them into his mouth together.

"You're pretty good at building relationships. You're no less good than me. You've been so familiar with it all morning." Huang Xiaolei said, seeing how delicious he was eating, she reached out and took another one.

"Pa!" Chen Shuo opened a cup of soy milk with a straw and handed it to her. He opened another cup and drank it all in one breath.

"Brother Qing has a good temper and is very enthusiastic."

Chen Shuo picked up two more Shaomai and stuffed them into his mouth. As soon as he chewed them, he was stunned and swallowed them in a few gulps.

He picked up another Shaomai and opened it. It turned out to be rice.

He couldn't help but said: "I'll go, does this siomai also have rice wrapped in it?"

"I was also very puzzled, so I didn't eat it again after eating it once." Huang Xiaolei took another meat bun and said empathetically.

Ren Yuanyuan is from the south. She looked at the two of them and said in confusion: "Shouldn't Shaomai be made with rice?"

As he spoke, he reached for a shaomai, took a bite, and said, "It's quite delicious."

She saw that Chen Shuo and the two were eating so happily that she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Isn't Shaomai wrapped in meat?" Chen Shuo asked doubtfully: "Shaomai skin is a staple food, rice is also a staple food, and there are staple foods wrapped in staple food?"

"There are also vegetarian dishes, but I think the glutinous rice ones are still more delicious." Ren Yuanyuan said.

"What does it mean?" Chen Shuo took a steamed bun and a shaomai and stuffed it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he said, "I can understand it if I'm a vegetarian, but I really didn't expect this rice bun."

Then a group of people in the car chatted all the way about what to pack with shaomai.

When they arrived at the place, Chen Shuo had already finished eating and drinking the five-pot steamed buns, four fried dough sticks, and four cups of soy milk.

Ren Yuanyuan said she wouldn't eat anything, but in the end she ate two shaomai and one steamed bun.

As for Huang Xiaolei, she ate with Chen Shuo until the end. She was full, but Chen Shuo felt that his stomach was still a little empty.
