A hundred people, a thousand faces, this is not to say. If a thousand people "face", the photo studio will be closed.
It is said that nowadays there are fewer opera audiences, indeed fewer, but there are still a lot of people running between the theaters, most of them are retired middle-aged and elderly people, anyway, over 60 years old take the bus and spend money, so Daxing, Pinggu, Shunyi, Doudian and other suburban theaters also frequently see their figures. I have seen several spectators on crutches, and when chatting, I learned that one was sick since childhood, and his waist and legs were not good, so he put on the stick that Chonggong gave to Su San, and the other two fell for watching the play, one was on double crutches, one was single crutched, still running the theater in pain, and the theater friends laughed: Li Tieqiu is here again, and the two are one of the eight immortals.
There are several "chivalrous warriors" in the audience who are known as "opening the way in every mountain and building bridges in the water". A handsome young man surnamed Zhao, who loves opera and opera, is also a little researched on Hebei Zizi, and is an expert in speaking. He spends more than a thousand yuan or more a year to buy tickets to see the show. But he found that retirees were "frightened" by the higher ticket prices, so he accommodated with the theater and the troupe, and if allowed, took discounted tickets for these audiences to enter the theater. Whenever there is a public welfare performance, he actively contacts these elderly people to see wonderful programs, as well as Mr. Wu who is polite and elegant, Mr. Zhang who is fast and fast-talking, the audience is very grateful to them, and the theater is not so deserted. These enthusiastic people are completely "volunteers" and do not want to pay any money.
After seeing his favorite performance, Mr. Yan, a very talented audience member, wrote a tibetan poem with stills, wrote a drama review in this way to give affirmation and praise, and has written hundreds of songs that have been spread in the circle of theater friends and received a lot of praise. There are also many audiences who write after watching the drama and write after-view feelings or drama reviews, which are published in the Media such as the Peking Opera Art Network, especially when they pay attention to foreign theater troupes and local theater troupes that are relatively unpopular, they are very popular with the troupe, and the troupe leaders believe that the audience in Beijing has a high level of appreciation, and also sent WeChat to thank them.
A Mr. Yang has a high level of writing, his way of paying attention to the troupe is very "different", he holds a small book when watching the play, stares at the subtitles on the side of the stage, carefully checks the typos in it, borrows the light of the mobile phone to take notes down, and after the end of the scene, he transfers it to the head of the troupe, of course, people thank and say that they will correct it immediately. Mr. Yang said that sometimes the subtitles of a play have dozens of typos, and the majority of them have different sounds, and there are more jokes because of typos. For example, in "June Snow", Zhang Donkey conspired to poison, there is a sentence "I went to buy poison", and the subtitle is "I went to sell poison", and the whole monkey ate twist flowers - full of twists, and the people laughed. Mr. Yang has been picking out the wrong subtitles for several years, which is not easy for the purity of Chinese characters. In the early years of the audience, there were people who picked the wrong children, then called "choose (chai) Mao'er", from the plot, performance and other aspects of the opinions, suggestions, but also won the actors, the drama class praise. Old theater fans recall that the subtitles of decades ago were written by staff who wrote well with brush letters, typed out in the form of slides, with few typos, and can also appreciate calligraphy. Now there are computers, but without proofreading, there are more typos. What is puzzling is that after a small number of troupes received the audience's feedback, they did not correct the errors in the subtitles, and when the audience brushed twice, the typos were impressive, and it was not known whether the subtitle personnel forgot or were afraid of trouble, and the leaders did not ask about it, failing to live up to the audience's heart.
Typos are not only on the subtitles, but also often appear on the play list (manual), and several attentive viewers learn from Mr. Yang and pay attention to the errors. A drama list of a compound group under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism labeled the "Military and Civilian Fish Water Situation" in the excerpt of "Sha Jiabang" as "Military and Civilian Rainwater Feelings", and the audience laughed and said: "Guo Jianguang should put an umbrella on Grandma Sha!" "Marking Yang Yanhui in "Sitting Palace" as Yang Yanzhao and other mistakes of Zhang Guan Li Dai also often appears. It is said that this is a matter the size of a sesame seed, but it is not a small matter that mistakes are made in the drama lists of big theater troupes and opera academies, and it is easy to make children who learn drama and young audiences who have just entered the theater inexplicable. There was a young man next to the seat of an old audience, saw the plot of "Killing the Four Doors" introduced by the play list, compared with the performance on the stage, how it was not right, he asked the old man, the explanation he got was that the play list was printed wrong, and the performance of "Female Killing Four Doors" (also known as "Shouzhou Rescue") was printed into the male "Killing Four Doors", confusing the audience with "killing". To be honest, there is no more "sir" in the audience, and I only hope that the theater group can do better in the details.
The above audience is very cute and respectable, and many enthusiasts can chase to Tianjin and other places to see the play. In the Peking Opera Theater, there are those who are escorted into the theater by two people or so, there are those who are pushed in wheelchairs, and those who take the front row tickets bought by the juniors in the New Year are happy to watch the play, they support the troupe, the theater, and also enjoy the spiritual and cultural life.
The multi-faceted opera audience also sometimes made an indecent sound of absurdity, which was annoying, and everyone jokingly called this small number of uncivilized people the "churning sticks" in the theater.
There are a few half-aged men who call themselves "taking the theater as their home", and they "mix" at the entrance of the theater every day to wait for ticket refunds, and watch all the programs, as long as they don't spend money. It is also strange that they can always wait for the ticket to come in vain, but after entering, they disregard dissuade and violently take pictures until they are "invited" out by the staff. A very fat person, carrying a large bag, equipped with a small pot, telescope, water cup and other full set of tourism "line head", more than twice a day (matinee, late) into the theater, but each time is more than 20 minutes late to come, straight to the front of the empty seat, the audience has a lot of opinions and can not say, familiar people call him "late guy", "interference guy". This person often wears strange clothes, but on hot days, he is a big pants, sleeveless vest, pulling board, the ticket inspector advised him to change a "line head" and re-enter, he made a big fuss, and even rolled on the ground, so he had to use security guards. Some people say that he is not normal, but he said that he watches five or six hundred performances every year, does not spend money, and has studied opera for many years, and I really don't know if he is sick or not.
There are also several "strains" of such "strange things". A skinny man himself said that no matter what the show, he only watched 18 minutes each show, and sometimes exchanged the ticket in the middle of the seat for someone else and sat on the back seat by himself. People wonder why they don't watch for 18 minutes, if the four famous dans and the four major students come to the stage, will you still go? There are careful people secretly observing him, sure enough, about 18 minutes after the opening, this grandfather lifted his ass and left, which is probably a mystery of eternity, and the one who can solve the mystery of watching the show in 18 minutes will become a rare talent in the 21st century, some people guess that he did not spend money to buy tickets, just walk a corner, but why 18 minutes? The crowd didn't know.
When an old woman enters the theater, she must pull a small cart for buying vegetables, filled with scraps she picked up, but every time she has a free ticket, as long as she enters, the audience will cover her nose and hide, the sour smell on her body is too big, smoked badly, even if you buy a first-class ticket, in order to hide from her, you have to give up and find a place far away from her. Many people looked for theater staff to reflect, but people are also embarrassed, there are tickets can come in, persuaded several times, she cried and made trouble and did not move.
A grandfather, almost every day into the theater, but if he sits close to you, then the smell of smoke on his body will make you can't stand it, his friend said, this three or four packs of cigarettes a day, cigarettes do not leave the mouth, when watching the play, see him go out many times, is unable to hold back, hurry to smoke two sips. If your ticket is close to him, you need not be afraid of smoke, otherwise the soles of your feet will be greased with oil - open slip.
Some opera performances, common mothers with children to see, dolls do not understand the emperor will be the face, talented and beautiful, can not sit still, the old noisy, hand clapping, kicking the front seat, crying non-stop, the audience reminds parents to manage a tube, there are many young mothers in the mouth of the word: "You are so adult, how can you see it with children in general?!" "Not only do they not care, they also rob you of it, tragedy."
Some viewers explained the plot to their friends while watching, and when watching "Bumping the Monument", he read the subtitles and told the people around him that "Golden Bird Falls, Jade Rabbit Rises" and reads "Golden Bird" as "Golden Bird", and the whole is a drunken Lei Gong - Hu (split) batch. Someone plays a mobile phone, someone plays a mobile phone game without looking at the stage, the light of the mobile phone affects the audience next to him, if you persuade him, the light person ignores people, gives you a blank eye, and the heavy one replies: Is it in charge! Even swearing.
For these uncivilized phenomena, the theater staff can not manage, persuasion is useless, the audience has to provoke, hide, find a quiet place to watch the play steadily, but this quiet place is not easy to find, if there are two big mothers next to them, then they only love to chat, Zhang Parent, Li Jia short, the toad five eyes, among which there is a one-eyed dragon. You still have to hide.
Some people say that now theater fans rarely enter the theater, yes, the reasons are diverse, the ticket price is high, the performance level is declining, and there are more uncivilized phenomena in the theater, which makes people annoying. There are many free tickets, resulting in some idle people mixing in the theater all day, not loving to watch and trying to be warm in winter and cool in summer. You spend 100 yuan to buy a back row ticket, people do not spend money to sit in the front row, can you balance your heart? It seems that how to improve the level of the audience and rectify the order of the theater is a big deal, and the audience can have a thousand faces, but this state, this face should be a civilized drama and pay attention to public morality.
