From January 20 to 24, the "2022 Spring Festival Opera Gala" of The Central Radio and Television Corporation will launch the media derivative program "Every Year there is drama", in which more than 20 hosts of the general station will visit the famous opera masters in the Grand View Garden Theater and learn to sing the drama. Recently, this reporter went deep into the scene to conduct an interview and met Sabine, the host of the main station who was paying tribute to his master to learn tea and opera, and his master was the famous opera master Wang Peiyu.
In 1988, 12-year-old Wuhan middle school student Sabine almost changed the trajectory of his life. That year, the China Academy of Drama Affiliated Middle School went to Hubei to enroll, and Sabine passed the interview with a children's song "Where is Spring" and ran home happily to announce the good news, but after repeated consideration by his parents, he finally gave up the opportunity to study opera in Beijing. In the same year, 10-year-old Wang Peiyu was known as the "Pingtan Prodigy" because he won the first prize of the Suzhou Pingtan Art Festival with a song "Mulan Ci" a year ago, and three years later, he won the "May 1st Cup" Lao Dan Award in Jiangsu Province with a piece of "Fishing for Golden Turtles", and continued to forge ahead on the road of learning drama. Today, 34 years later, Sabine, who once "rubbed shoulders" with opera, has become one of the most popular hosts of the main station, Wang Peiyu is already a famous master of the Yu school of Peking Opera, and the two people have met in the form of a master-apprentice combination.
Xiao Saxue was fascinated by the drama: "There is a 'three major idle' on the main stage,
Little Sashini Niju Guangquan..."
"Please teach me the simplest singing section of the old student, similar to the song 'one flash and one shining crystal' and 'two tigers and two tigers'..." Sa Bening, a bully who has always been known as "Versailles", faced Wang Peiyu, became a primary school student in seconds, and humbly asked for advice. However, Wang Peiyu said: "The simple melody is actually not easy to sing, but it seems that your tone is not accurate, the rhythm is not good, and it is difficult for us to learn!" Try the "There Used to Be a Three Sages" singing section in "Bead Curtain Village" today! ”

Wang Peiyu introduced, "There used to be a three great sages" is the most "unrelated" part of the drama "Zhu Curtain Village", but it is also the core singing section in the whole drama, because it is too wonderful and too good, and the lyrics describe the scene of Guan Yun Changcheng chopping Cai Yang very shockingly. Seeing that Xiao Sa showed a rare expression of trepidation, Wang Peiyu encouraged: "Xiao Sa is very suitable for the appearance of lao sheng, with a wide and full forehead, a straight nose, slender eyes, a long face, and a long person, which is almost in line with all the characteristics of lao sheng." After the eyebrows are raised, the facial features are elongated and enlarged, which will look more energetic! The guide plate is the most difficult, we learn the first sentence first, learn this sentence, and then it is not difficult. ”
"In the past, there were three great sages..." This line was sung by Xiao Sa and Wang Peiyu over and over again, repeatedly singing until they broke their voices, lacked breath, and even lacked oxygen and dizziness. Xiao Sa, who has hosted various programs on the main station and has always been known for his talent, humor and wit, directly called out that he encountered the most difficult problem in his life, "I like to listen to drama since I was a child, watching others perform on stage feels very simple, and I really found it too difficult until I walked on stage!" ”
Under Wang Peiyu's patient teaching and dialing, Xiao Sa finally passed the pass, and happily called his friend Nigmat, who was also the host of the main station, invited him to participate in "Every Year there is a drama", and sang the "Main Taiwan Version" of "Zhu Curtain Village" on the spot: "There is a 'three major idlers' in the main station, and the little Sao Xiao Ni Zhu Guangquan ..."
Wang Peiyu tells the story: playing the three-way drum,
Why does Tan Xinpei use "Whoa Lala"
In the process of learning the play, the studious Xiao Sa questioned the lyrics in the excerpt: "The lyrics of the song 'Hula La La Beat Stop the Head Drum, Guan Er Ye Lifts the Knife Across the Eagle Saddle, The Second Master Of The Second Drum Fights the Second Drum, The People Have the Spirit of the Horse and Are Happy, the Three Pass Drums Are Beaten, and the Head of Cai Yang Falls in Front of the Horse... 'Why don't the drums on the battlefield use 'Gulp Bang Bang' instead of 'Uh La La'? Master Wang Peiyu said with a smile that Mr. Tan Xinpei was also asked this question, in fact, there is no problem in singing "Gollum", but "Wah La La" is indeed better, "This is The great creation of Mr. Tan Xinpei, the three 'Hula La' are different, one step after another to go up, many fans listen to this section is waiting for these three 'Hurrah La'. Immediately, Wang Peiyu changed the lyrics to "Gollum" and "Woo La La" respectively, and sure enough, there was a big difference in effect. After hearing this, Xiao Sa sighed: "'Hurrah' vividly displayed the momentum of the wind blowing the flag, the thundering of the war drums, and the boiling of people on the battlefield. ”
Under the guidance of master Wang Peiyu, Xiao Sa put on the costume, picked up the fan, and followed the band to formally perform "There were three great sages in the past", Wang Peiyu explained the knowledge of the costume and helmet on the spot: "The red python is the richer costume of the old students, in the play, it is generally the emperor, the horse master and the high-ranking official and other characters, and the helmet with the plume and the fox tail belong to the less orthodox king, Xiao Sa plays the king of the Shatuo kingdom is also an old naughty boy, so it is dressed like this. ”
Wang Peiyu also shared the creation story of this classic play, "Zhu Curtain Zhai" was originally called "Twelve Taibao", also known as "Shatuo Guo", Mr. Tan Xinpei changed the name to "Zhu Curtain Zhai" when he performed the whole book.
"The earliest this was a flower face play, because Li Ke is a very rough person with his heart, and it is very appropriate to use the flower face industry to interpret, but after Mr. Tan Xinpei heard it, he felt that he could try it with the old student singing voice, and at the same time retained a little symbol on the flower face, such as the bottom color is relatively red." Wang Peiyu said that after this play was changed by Mr. Tan, it was deeply loved by fans and became more and more popular. It is precisely because the masters of Peking Opera continue to blaze new trails and innovate, with unique ideas and exquisite craftsmanship, that the national essence has lasted for a long time.
The Covenant of Master and Apprentice: In this life, I will be fortunate to meet in the pear garden,
Hard work in the audience to practice "ten years of work"
While learning drama, Xiao Sa also learned some jargon. Wang Peiyu said that the greatness of Peking Opera is that it has both norms and personalized customization, "Each actor can set the tone according to his own situation, for example, I told the violinist, my voice is not very home today, you give me a lower hair." How much this 'hair' drops is up to the organist himself, and it also tests the tacit understanding between us. ”
Xiao Sa sighed, from childhood to hear the "one minute on stage, ten years offstage" this sentence, has always thought that parents are encouraging themselves, through learning drama to know, ten years of merit are said to have talented people, if the talent is worse, may not be able to meet the requirements of the stage for twenty years. "In every industry, in every field, in the end, people who can achieve something must have paid 10,000 percent of their efforts."
Xiao Sa said that he used to listen to modern Peking operas such as "Sha Jiabang", "Wise Tiger Mountain", "Red Lantern" and so on with his parents at home, and this time through learning from Wang Peiyu that "there were three great sages in the past", he felt the profundity of traditional opera culture, "I am really a dragonfly who touches the water and becomes fascinated, and after returning home, I will find out this play of Teacher Wang Peiyu and listen to it repeatedly, and practice 'ten years of gong'." The essence of the country has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the spirit of the Chinese, as well as the traditions, ideas, etiquette and way of being a person of the Chinese nation are all in the play, and we must guard our cultural treasures well. "Wang Peiyu told Xiao Sa that singing is like speech, it has its own logic and laws, and through continuous hard practice, we will certainly be able to understand it in our hearts." Now that there are so many opera lovers from all walks of life like Xiao Sa, constantly studying and disseminating our national essence, Peking Opera will definitely have more exuberant vitality. ”
