Interview Transcript:
Wang Jing: "Killing Yi" is also another representative play of yours.
Li Yuexian: "Killing Yi" It is an acting skill, of course, you can't get rid of the characters, etc., this look, this figure, it is the skill that Wen Susheng official clothes play. Whether it is this figure on the official clothes, the hip skills, or the hat wing skills, it is concentrated on "Killing The Stage". It can't be used in every play. Some people suggested that you watch "Crouching Tiger Order" is also your main play, standing in that place you can use the hat wing, use the hair. I said it was a skill thing, not just picking it up and using it all.
Wang Jing: Right.
Li Yuexian: Right, that's the skill.
Wang Jing: Self-defeating.
Li Yuexian: It's not a skill. You can use this technique everywhere. So just on "Killing The Stagecoach", if you want to see that, it is "Killing the Stagecoach", except for "Killing the Stagecoach", I don't use the skills, all the skills are not used, I don't use the other scenes, this is what I want to separate the play, this is not "Lu Hua". "Lu Hua" is my eldest sister's. My masterpiece of the Horse School. "Three Levels of Point Marshal" and "Chopper Handover" are also sent by my horse. My eldest sister is singing "Chop And Cross", this is "Lu Hua", it is basically an old tune, it is singing feelings, singing characters, tear-jerking singing drama. The singing voice in this play is basically old, and it is basically old like "Three Levels and Points". But when singing, another is from the breath, from the control of the breath, from the control of the tone, from the control of the rhythm, this is also a little bit of work. So people say yes, Li Yuexian's "Lu Hua".
Wang Jing: Others are different
Li Yuexian: It's not the same as other people's singing. Anyway, you others sing "Lu Hua" is like this, I always have to sing different from you, I can't be the same as you, just such a personality, I just don't want to repeat other people's, can't be the same.
Wang Jing: This is the characteristic of a genre.
Li Yuexian: You can't say that people act like this, you also act like this, I always have to be a little different from you.
Wang Jing: So, there are a lot of fans and audiences in our industry who say that although we say that Ma Pai sings, the name is Ma Zhaolin's singing voice, in fact, the real Ma Pai singing voice starts from Li Yuexian's singing voice.
Li Yuexian: My master always laid a foundation for me, right? Whether it is the foundation of basic gong and leg gong, the singing voice has also laid a certain foundation for me. You see how my eldest sister sings. My eldest sister sang in many places like her, but there were many different places. The difference is that after my voice broke, I sang something by myself, just like my eldest sister in the tablet did not sing like that, for example, "later" My master did not have this kind of singing. Where did I get inspired by this singing, from the North Road Pole.
Wang Jing: North Road Zizi.
Li Yuexian: People are not "hey hey hey", inspired by it from here, I applied it here. Why do I sing like this, Sing like this, I don't always say that I, the arrangement of my singing voice is this, in a play it has a core singing segment. It has flashing sentences in the core singing section, which is my arrangement for the singing voice in a play. The front of the singing cavity rhythm of the two sexes, can not say not to sing seriously, seriously sing, but not deliberately to sing it into how good to sing, ordinary singing on the line, then to the sharpest contradiction there is a core singing section, that must be serious and heartfelt like that, sing that section well. Among them, there must be a few very flashy sentences, the so-called flash sentence is that after the audience recognizes the singing, the audience must have something to taste in his mind, and there are a few sentences that must be sung well.
Wang Jing: Teacher Li, the most shining sentences that the audience can remember the most, can we think that we often say in opera, in fact, many people say that Jin opera plucks and plucks, but Teacher Li's plucking is not the same as other people.
Li Yuexian: Plucking is a kind. Pulling a string counts one sentence, such as the one I just sang, some of which are thirteen his or there are flat sentences in some places, I sing differently from others, but after I finish singing, the audience must applaud me. Yes, I sing sure that your audience is going to applaud, which is called my flash sentence, which is a few sentences here, more colorful sentences. For example, on the Crouching Tiger Order, "Reminiscences" tablet. Tablets are diverse, can sing you about seventy or eighty kinds of looks, is the memory, think of this is very far away, the past is very far away, it uses a "reminiscence of the past", can not look back. He wants to show affection, not by people's thoughts. You see this sentence is also a place where it is sung well, "Ten Million" it not only sings the road I have walked in the past officialdom over the years, the road that cannot be looked back, the road of always degrading officials, and the road that is not satisfied in my heart, both singing this feeling. Originally we sang "ten million", originally it was this, I slowed down its rhythm at once, "ten million". It's a dead audience, a dead applause. It is based on the mood you play, according to the depression of your singing voice, and after coming over, you also vent this emotion of this character to the fullest.
Wang Jing: The audience is also addicted to watching.
Li Yuexian: So it is, you have to put this character, these past events that he can't look back on in the official arena, and in his heart, this is a sentence inside, you are like saying "no flattering bone", this one is also definitely going to applaud, this is also the place of applause, this is called the classic sentence. In this paragraph the classic sentence.
Wang Jing: This is all carefully designed by you.
Li Yuexian: Yes. You are like saying that "merit is not enough to regret" our thirteen hi, "Li Lu said that it is difficult to idle, cold eyes to the giants, for the people to seek grievances, Dong Shaoping I can sell the law to seek officials, Dong Shaoping I can sell the law to seek officials." This is also a place of applause, this is a board inside the three places called classic, after this down is the back of the pluck, pluck a next sentence pick, it should have two good. For example, if you say, "Go here even if it is", it is also called a good, "the head is hanging upside down", this is the whole section of singing, and it is over. This is where these few singing voices will leave an aftertaste for the audience. But if you say yes to a play, you sing so well. One is impossible, and one is that if you sing well, it is not good. It's not good to sing well. If they all sing well or flat, then there must be flat land and mountains, it must be so. So I'll just say singing a contrast. The contrast must be large, and you don't have to work so hard in front of you, and it is in this board that people can leave an impression. Every place you shout desperately and shout, call for a good night, you can't remember which paragraph, in the end which paragraph is sung well, I don't know. There must be a classic core singing segment, the core singing segment, and the core singing sentences. To have a classic few sentences, I will call it a glittering sentence.
Wang Jing: And these few sentences do shine.
Li Yuexian: So I sang to this, that's it. Almost as far as I am concerned, I have worked hard to think about it.
Wang Jing: I can feel it.
Li Yuexian: Ordinary people, people have a good voice, people don't need to think about it like this, I have to think about it. How can I sing this paragraph well, which sentence I can, you sing the voice for a night, the audience does not react to your singing voice, and then you sing the characters, do not use it.
Wang Jing: Teacher Li actually has standards and requirements for his art. But behind this kind of standard and requirement, Teacher Li has paid infinite hardships, and her own meticulous carving of every sentence of singing, but through Teacher Li's many years of stage practice, including his own rigor and seriousness in art. Indeed, the place left in the ten whiskers and nine dings left a beautiful and profound impression on the audience and fans, that is, our most classic Ma Pai singing voice.
