Chapter 223
Chapter 223
Why do many Peking Opera actors lose their voices when they are in their thirties or forties, and suffer from middle-aged throat collapse? It is because they were tired from singing when they were young!
Lin Mu is now a bit famous in Shanghai, mainly because he has not yet performed a whole play in a large theater to prove himself.
When Lin Mu can lead a play in a place like the Golden Theater and gain everyone's recognition, he will truly be considered a famous actor!
Even if you sing in a small theater for your whole life, you will never become a leading actor!
You have to prove yourself on the big stage!
Therefore, not many people want to invite Lin Mu to sing in the party now, except for those who particularly like Lin Mu!
It’s because Lin Mu’s value is very vague now. If you say he is popular, he is not quite there yet. If you say he is not popular, he already has a large number of fans, and the ticket price is quite expensive!
People like Mei Lanfang and Ma Lianliang, when they first became famous, had two performances every day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening, and this was the case every day. They also had family gatherings and various invitations to voluntary performances. It can be said that they were almost always running around outside!
I earn a lot of money, but it is all hard-earned money!
There are actually not many Peking Opera actors who can live long lives. They consume a lot of vitality when they are young, which cannot be compensated no matter how much money they spend!
……
After Zhou Yu stepped down, the sound of huqin began to sound.
"The palace is joyful, but the world is miserable—"
Meng Xiaodong's words about the door curtain guide once again ignited the enthusiasm of the audience!
The door curtain was lifted, and Ye Shenglan came out first, holding a white tasseled spear and a white horse whip!
This time, Ye Shenglan showed off her figure and performed a set of horse-riding movements!
The so-called "Tangma" is to express the stylized movements of riding a horse in the form of dance!
The high-leg lift, the one-legged stand, and the final half-squat step were even more spectacular, drawing cheers from the audience!
When Ye Shenglan finished her set of moves, Meng Xiaodong and Lin Mu also filed out.
Driven by the sound of gongs and drums, Lin Mu, Meng Xiaodong and Ye Shenglan ran around the stage from both sides to the center!
What follows is the famous scene from this play in later generations!
I saw three people running around on the stage like bees, and their routes crossed each other!
Since the stage is relatively small, the three people's speed is not slow. Together with the female soldier behind them, there are actually four people. The fans in the audience were stunned to see these four people dancing around in a dazzling manner on the stage!
The most amazing thing is that Lin Mu not only ran, but also sang all the time.
"Pegasus crossed Chaisang Pass—"
"Even if the road ahead is dangerous—"
"Of course the wife follows her husband's lead..."
"My mother bestowed upon me the Imperial Sword—"
"Why should I fear Zhou Lang's pursuit—"
"Push forward day and night—"
The six lines of Xipi opera flowed smoothly, each word clear and pleasing to the ear. The four people on the stage were moving around the stage like a formation, and Lin Mu was still able to sing these lines steadily and clearly. His skill made the fans in the audience secretly applaud!
The most difficult thing to sing on stage is to move and sing at the same time, which is very difficult to control the breath!
Don’t compare them with those Korean girl groups in later generations. They all use half of the mic or no mic at all during their live performances in order to achieve better performance effects!
At this moment, Lin Mu not only did not have a microphone, but also made sure that his voice did not tremble or change at all, as if he was singing while standing still!
This is Kung Fu!
Seeing this scene, the fans below couldn't even wait for Lin Mu to sing the last climax and started clapping and cheering crazily!
And when Lin Mu uttered the last word "趱", he still suppressed the voices of the entire audience!
