Yan Jupeng guides Yan Huizhu to abandon "Cheng" to learn "Mei"

Yan Huizhu's initial imitation of Peking Opera was the Cheng School. Later, why did you change to Mei Pai? The book "Absolute Style: Yan Huizhu" is described in detail. Excerpts from the relevant content are as follows:

Yan Huizhu was born on August 12, 1919, and her father was Yan Jupeng, one of the first four major students. Influenced by her family, Yan Huizhu was five or six years old and babbling all day long, and her mouth did not leave the skin. Yan Jupeng did not want her daughter to be a Kunling who was looked down upon in society in the future, did not let her learn drama, and sent her to school to study. He knew that as long as he was not in front of him, his daughter would steal from learning Beijing opera. Qingyi, Hua Dan, Lao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, all sing. Xiao Huizhu is most fascinated by Cheng Yanqiu's singing voice, and often suppresses her voice to imitate the "Cheng Cavity" of the pharyngeal tact.

Yan Huizhu grew up to fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was already born with a long jade standing, graceful and graceful. The most obsessive is still Beijing Opera. In the name of his father, he went around looking for teachers and friends. Every day, as soon as school is over and the school bag is thrown away, a group of classmates are gathered to sit in the fixed seat of the bag in the theater and hold their favorite youth idols. Desperately clapping, shouting loudly, if there is no one around. After watching the play at the front desk, I also have to go backstage to see the actors. For a time, the tabloids in Beiping kept appearing news such as "Miss Yan Er is crazy", so that everyone in the capital knew that Yan Jupeng had a "Miss Yan Er", like a flower like jade, bold and spicy, quite a man's style. For the outside world's discussion, Yan Huizhu smiled and ignored it, full of indifference: "Yan Huizhu is Yan Huizhu, who is full of food and support, let them chew their tongues!" ”

"Hibiscus Grass" Zhao Tongshan praised Yan Huizhu's talent for singing, and advised Ju Peng that instead of watching Huizhu fool around outside, it would be better to let her calm down and learn drama, maybe she could break a path in the future. After much thought, Yan Jupeng finally decided to let her daughter learn drama. As soon as the ban was lifted, Yan Huizhu simply put on water sleeves at home and sang and danced. Sometimes "He Hou Scolds the Temple", sometimes "Spring Dream". Holding his throat, he deliberately imitated Cheng Yanqiu. Yan Jupeng listened, couldn't bear it any longer, pushed the door out, and scolded the courtyard: "Don't sing!" I don't know what is heavy. Do you have a tone like Boss Cheng? Who did you learn this from? Yan Huizhu had never seen her father move so angry. After the fire, Yan Jupeng turned to calm and said, "Hui'er, do you know how the 'Four Famous Dans' are red?"

"It's singing red," Yan Huizhu replied without hesitation.

"Yes, it's a red song. But do you know how the four famous dans sing popularity, and where are their respective characteristics? Yan Jupeng talked nonchalantly: singing plays pay attention to "singing", and listening to plays pays attention to listening. Where a horn is founded, the vocal cavity is the first, and other means of performance are derived from this root. And a corner to form their own vocal cavity characteristics, the first thing is to understand their own voice conditions, know how to play the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. Sound is the raw material, and words and cavities are products. The so-called "taste" comes from the actor's opera-like voice and voice, but also from the opera-like biting and line cavity, and the singer's skills run through it.

For her father's remarks, Yan Huizhu seemed to understand, but it was like opening a window in her soul, although this window only opened a gap, but it had already made her accept her father's first ray of artistic sunshine.

Yan Jupeng continued: Boss Cheng lost his voice when he "reversed the warehouse" (the adolescent voice change period), and his later voice was not as wide and bright as when he was young, but he had a "ghost sound" He gave this ghost sound to artistic processing and became a unique "back of the brain sound". Soft on the outside and sharp introverted. His voice determines the characteristics of his vocal cavity: deep and resolute, humorous and gentle, conveying the spirit with sound, and fixing the tone with emotion. Hui Er is gifted with a good throat, crisp and bright, but she deliberately suppressed her voice, is this not a "Qilu Dead Sheep"? Hui Er belongs to the sheep and is also looking for a way, but don't go out of the wrong way to kill the sheep!

The allusion to the "Qilu Dead Sheep" is derived from the Liezi Sayings: Yangzi's neighbor lost a sheep and did not find it. Yang Zi asked him why he hadn't found it? The neighbor said that there were many forks in the road, and there were forks in the road, and I did not know where to go. Later, the metaphor of "the dead sheep on the wrong road" was complicated many times, and if you lost your way, you would stray into the wrong way.

The window on Yan Huizhu's soul was opened by her father, and she shook Yan Jupeng's shoulder and asked in a loud voice, "Dad, you are about to say, who should Hui Er learn, and which school should she sing?" ”

"You want Zong Mei, Mr. Xue Mei." In the future, if you don't sing it, you can become popular when you sing it. ”

Yan Huizhu clapped her hands and smiled, "Dad, you are a god!" Hui Er wants to be a 'female Mei Lanfang'! ”

Since then, Yan Huizhu has embarked on the road to success in learning plums.
