Write on the front

 With a strict eye, looking at the transcendent talents in Kun Lingsu's life in the past twenty years, En Xiaofeng and Li Guifen have been very rare gifts in the position of the sect they have learned, but in terms of momentum and their position in the impression of ordinary people, it seems that Meng Xiaodong will come to the top!

 Xiao Dong did not worship Shu Yan before, the momentum was already quite prominent, and the dramas he performed, such as "Strange Grievances", "Empty City Plan", "Catching and Releasing Cao", etc., were not only welcomed by laymen, but also impressed by insiders!

 Since entering the Yumen, it has become more and more prominent, especially after the premiere of Shu Yan's revised "Search and Rescue Orphans", and has created a new record in the pear garden circle. Ordinary people have a sacred mentality towards Meng Xiaodong, just like admiring her master, and "listening to Meng Xiaodong go" has also become a slogan of "exaggerating wealth" in society! Isn't it, on the eve of her "enlightened" debut business play, a standing ticket actually sold for thirteen yuan. Although this is not Xiao Dong's original intention, it can also test the audience's interest in listening to Meng Xiaodong.

Meng Xiaodong's "Search for Orphans and Rescue Orphans"

 It was on that day that we planned to take two photos of her posing or dressing up to give the reader a little new appreciation, but for the sake of human impropriety, we failed to achieve it, and on the third day we deliberately took these pictures that did not make the reader very satisfied.

She was for her master

 Meng Xiaodong, who met for the first time, gave us the impression that he was unexpectedly so "polite and elegant". Although her attitude is "not sour and not expensive", at the same time, her conversation is also "not inseparable", so in the first sentence, we asked her master, Yu Shuyan.

 From the mood of her conversation, it can be inferred that she is more "respectful and filial to her master" than to her parents. In terms of their "grandfather's and son's" feelings, Shu Yan treated her like his own daughter. However, teaching the play is not sloppy at all, for example, after correcting a play for her, and having to let her review it. If there is a place that is not very home, her master will smile and tell her, "Well, you will sing this next time!" ”

 At the same time, her master loves and cares for her! When she encounters a very important cavity in a certain middle, her master will tell her three ways of singing, one high, one low, and one "middle way". Because her master is already a veteran of several battles, and she knows the bitterness of "playing", if there is a temporary change in her voice, then she can make the three "chambers" and "improvisations" mentioned so as not to be ugly on the spot. However, there is a section, if you make a mistake in the place, then Master will never agree.

 However, her master always held a "forgiveness" mentality toward her. Remembering the first time she sang the "Hong Yang Cave" that Shu Yan had corrected for her, Master went down to the backstage, patted her on the shoulder and instructed her: "You are afraid, calm and angry!" But she felt more and more fearful as "like approaching the abyss, like walking on thin ice"! As a result, after the play was sung and received praise from Master, she calmed down her heart and breathed out a breath of spirit.

 She respectfully obeyed what Master said, and never dared to have the slightest "carelessness", so she had to learn a new play, at least six or seven months. She said, "It's not anything else, it's about Master's reputation." I didn't have twelve points of certainty in my heart, and I couldn't dare to say yes! ”

 She admires her disciple Li Shaochun the most, she always thinks that Li Shaochun is smarter than her, not only can she learn faster than she will, but when she sings on stage, she looks more "freehand" than her.

She was for her own throat

(Someone once asked her to give her a megaphone.

 According to the voice, the current Meng Xiaodong and the Five Years ago Meng Xiaodong are indeed a little different. But in terms of the charm of singing, the current Meng Xiaodong is indeed different from the Meng Xiaodong of five years ago. Up to now, when I talk about the charm of this layer, I still can't help but yearn for her "Search and Rescue Orphan" performance in "New New". The eight words of "White Tiger Lobby..." upside down, the original board of "the lady does not have to", especially the words "just she refuses" and "the divine appearance is lush and transcendent", which are really well-deserved, and at the same time, it is too late for others.

 She did not regret her voice. She was just anxious that she was too weak and too sick. Otherwise, her voice would never be over.

 Occasionally from the equipment of the theater, I have also talked about this problem. She said that before the incident, she had a friend of hers who wanted to give her a German-made megaphone (microphone). It is said that the amplifier is the latest type, it is dedicated to the stage, the structure is eight red copper round pipes, when used in the side of the stage, no different from the short railing on the stage, the degree of amplification is the same tone heard from near and far. Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of the European War, this kind of thing could not be transported. Otherwise, the audience is a little bit blessed!

Her interest in "Shiro Visits His Mother"

 Not long ago, I heard a friend close to "Yu Fan" say that Xiao Dong had a letter to sing "Visiting Mother", although this news is good news, it is a pity for the space cave. At the same time, she really wants to sing "Visiting Mother", and all the supporting roles seem to be a problem. So when I first met, I first asked, "Are you ready to sing "Visit your mother?"? She listened to a slight groan and said, "This play is too tired!" Often Singing to the back of the song is exhausted, and 'lackluster'. Therefore, since that year's Zhang Zhaotang meeting, he has not touched this drama, and now he has not made such preparations! ”

 Later, he talked about "ga tune" and whether singing "ga tune" was a real voice or a fake voice. She said that "ga tune" does not have a fake voice, and the "ga tune" of the fake voice is the taste of the fake throat "ga tune". At the same time, she also believes that Tan Fuying's past "calling Xiaofan" did not go up, that is a temporary "heart" effect, with his voice to "gag" can not go up, that is absolutely not convincing.

She has a special passion for photography

 She - Meng Xiaodong for photography, is also particularly fond of, that day with her to talk about Mr. Le Yuanke's photography situation, she said: "Yes, I have taken a lot of photos of our husband, although I also like this, but I can't compare with the same, people are researching, I am just a relief." ”

 Although she said so, but the photographic equipment in her home is also quite complete, the things that are washed are all the same, and the photographer who is not sure, when he sees this equipment, he has to send "muttering" in his heart first, and he can't get it right, maybe there is no her "in the line"!

Meng Xiaodong photography

 She now has two of the most expensive cameras, she knows a lot of famous players in the photography industry, she will go to the celebrities of photography, she also "sees the hunter's heart" to pick up her box, compare the posture to the light, shout "don't move", then smile and ask you: "Do you see my posture right?" Then he was polite again: "You don't look at the posture is good, but the results of the photos are always unsatisfactory, and I have to learn from you!" ”

 She has a girlfriend who likes photography, often encourages the interest in photography, in the past, whether in the United States or Japan, when taking good photos, it was necessary to send her an enlarged one, and now there are two landscape pictures hanging in her study, which this friend used to send her.

 Her personal photography achievements are not placed under the glass of the desk, she has a book with a very exquisite decoration, you open it, it is dazzling, and it is all very mature works!
