Chapter 5 I watched two enjoyable plays

When I was in the mainland, the author, Meng Guangheng and Zhao Zhongan were old partners in listening to the opera. After listening to the opera, I always asked each other if we enjoyed it.The so-called enjoyment means that the martial arts are strictly played, the writing is strictly supported, and the actors are strictly covered on the stage. With these three, plus the well-known actors and actresses, this play is considered enjoyable if we listen to it. In recent years, the author spends more time in the south than in the north. Performing Peking Opera in the south is a rare event in a century, not to mention whether the performance is good or bad.

This time, the Dapeng National Opera Troupe performed for ten days in the Cultural Activity Center. The arrangement of hot and cold is appropriate, and the deployment of the characters is also red flowers and green leaves, which complement each other, and it took a lot of thought to improve the tone of the play. In the opening scene of "Little Cowherd", Du Kuangji, a shepherd boy, and Yang Lianying, a village girl, erased a lot of drama words because of the large number of dramas, but the singing and writing are still meticulous. This sentence made the audience feel anxious for them, but instead they sang and danced, full of energy, danced delicately, and sang every word to their ears.Because of Yang and Du, one is Wu Chou and the other is Wu Dan. Their martial arts are solid and they practice steadily under their feet, so they can be a perfect match.In particular, the playing of the flute is very seamless, which is not much better than that of the Nine Gusts of Wind Wang Changlin. In my opinion, it can be included in one of the enjoyable Peking Opera plays I listened to in Taiwan.

"Picking Flowers and Chasing the Mansion", as far as it is concerned, not many people have heard of this play, and there are probably very few who can sing this play. It can be regarded as a cold play. The former famous actress Lu Sanbao liked this play the most.He thinks that Hua Dan must do a good job of skipping work. In this play, picking flowers requires a good job of skipping work.And he is definitely not lazy in singing this play, he must be on the rocks.The one who played Zhang Cungu for him was either Zha Jinkui or Zhen Hongkui. Zhen Sing is a witty old man. Yang Xiong in "Cuiping Mountain" and the adult in "A Prostitute Catch a Thief" are slack and tepid. They are indeed good actors. match.He only sings the names of the flowers in the flower-picking scene, makes various poses to tease Shangshu, and Shangshu hides from left to right, and makes Wenyan have a great time playing. Tricks to please the audience also.

It is said that Niu Fangyu only practiced this play for more than 20 days. Although the delicate and steady practice is still lacking, but the body, eyes, and gait are not bad. Since the old age, the Huqin singing style is better than ever.Niu Fangyu is dressed in red jacket trousers and white satin embroidered waistcoat in this play. Under the strong light of red and white contrasting choke, he makes hand-painted flowers when he picks up flowers, which is easy for the audience to see through the tricks at a glance. A slightly darker waistcoat might work better.All in all, the above two plays, compared to Taiwan's Peking Opera in recent years, are both enjoyable plays.
