Today, we continue with the last chat:
Ever heard the term "tick bar"? What does that mean?
Quyi became more developed in the Song Dynasty, producing a colorful "washe art". At that time, the larger comprehensive shopping mall was called "Washe", which had a variety of trades, and there were amusement venues that performed various operas and juggling, also known as "hook bars", and the most important of these was "talking".
In addition to the ticks, there are also entertainers who sell their art in towns, villages or crowded dams.
The Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You described in his poem "Small Boat Tour Near the Village":
Xieyang Guliu Zhaojiazhuang,
The blind man with the negative drum is playing.
Who cares after death,
Manmura listens to Cai Zhonglang.
During the Song and Yuan dynasties, quyi was not only more popular, but also produced scripts and developed into Zhang Hui novels.
The "speakers" of oral creation and the "novelists" of literary creation began to develop independently, and although the authors of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" that people saw were Wu Cheng'en, Shi Naihao, and Luo Guanzhong, if there were no oral "scripts" of the storytellers of past generations, could these famous works be produced?
I'm afraid it's also unlikely.
Therefore, the blood and sweat of those nameless music artists are also condensed in these famous works.
Quyi can be passed down and developed for a long time because it has tenacious vitality and its own unique style.
Theatrical performances, song and dance performances require many people, but also have a head, costumes, props, sets, lights, bands, and the corresponding makeup and sound, etc.
However, the quyi performance is flexible and lightweight, not limited by time, space and venue, saving people, trouble and money.
At the same time, it is short and concise, and it is particularly suitable for timely propaganda and agitation in line with the times; it is inextricably linked with the broad masses, comes from the masses, is familiar to the masses, and is a cultural form that the broad masses of the people like to hear.
There are more than 260 kinds of songs in the country, which are roughly divided into three categories, namely "story", "rhyme", and "drum music";
In the performance repertoire, there are also long books and short paragraphs.
Most of the commentaries and commentaries are long stories, and they used to be lectured in bookstores.
Short segments are suitable for stage performances, and they win with flexibility and humor.
Throughout the ages, the repertoire and repertoire of heroes and heroes loved by the singing masses have been the mainstream of all kinds of songs and repertoire, and quyi performances praise justice and lash out at evil; quyi art is entertaining and educational, and despises low-level vulgarity.
When quyi actors speak and sing stories, they should narrate their feelings, explain the time and environment, replace the character dialogue and monologue, simulate the character image, action, and dress up as a martial artist... "One person and one play, as if the play is not a play."
In order to "act well in a play, a fake play can also win the real play", so the music actor must understand and master the various skills of the performance and performance of the music art.
Actors use words or singing to narrate romance, explain time, environment, substitute character dialogue, monologue belongs to the "table"; knife dance, fighting, dressing up, simulated image is called "acting", which means that the voice is the table and the form is the performance. The organic combination and alternation of the two is the complete performance.
The biggest feature of quyi performance is that men, women and children perform alone, and thousands of people speak alone.
"One person jumps in and out of multiple angles, does not need to wear makeup or change clothes, and narrates the situation to simulate the character."
The performer is both the narrator (third person), the performer (first person), and the commentator (from the audience's side). In the process of performance, "jump in, jump out", jump in into the role, jump out and be an actor, and sometimes have to comment from the perspective of the sidelines.
During theatrical performance, there is an invisible "wall" between the actors and the audience, but during the performance, the invisible "wall" between the actors and the audience has an open "window", and the actors and the audience can communicate emotionally like friends.
Using the language of art, the exquisite performance guides the audience to the scene of the story, and uses image thinking to create a living character image in the audience's mind, so that the audience is immersed, as if it hears its voice, and if it sees its people;
Use the audience's own imagination to enrich the vast space.
Through this open "window", the distance between the actors and the audience is very close, and a successful performance can be completed with realistic god-like actions, with full of enthusiasm, and with concise and pleasant language to impress the audience, infect the audience, and arouse their resonance.
Speaking of this, some people may say, I am not a music actor, is it useless to read your book?
wrong! This book I wrote is not only for the music and art actors, after you read it, you will see the wisdom of the people, the so-called drama is like life, life is like a drama. After reading this book, some can increase their insight, some can improve their eloquence, some can realize how to treat people and things, and some can penetrate the various forms of life! As for whether I said such a cow, and listen to Ho Bo continue to talk about the ancient.
Let's talk about it in the next issue.
Good bye.
