Li Shaochun's godson

Mr. Li Shaochun is not a god, however, he gives people an otherworldly and unpredictable impression both on and off stage. In terms of age, Mr. Tan Fuying was 14 years older than him, but he sincerely asked his son Yuan Shou to worship him as a teacher; Principal Ma Lianliang was 19 years old, and one day, when he performed, he found that none of the students came to see the play, which was naturally very unhappy, and after knowing that the students were all going to see Li Shaochun's performance, he said happily: "Yes, we should see More of Shaochun's plays." "He was young and of high caliber, so why did he serve the people so much? Because he is really superior. This can be seen in Li Shaochun's teachings to his son Baochun.

Like many practitioners, Mr. Li Shaochun does not want his son to continue his artistic path, the reason is obvious, but it is also incomprehensible to outsiders. Therefore, when Aizi Baochun (who was called "Li Baobao" at that time, also known as "Li Bao'er", later changed to "Li Shijian", "Imperial Gift" name "Li Yongbao") proposed to apply for the Beijing Opera School, he was naturally reprimanded severely by him, and later Baochun went to ask his grandfather Li Guichun, and was slapped by his grandfather fiercely. The Li family's family rules are very strict, whenever Grandpa is angry, all the juniors, including Mr. Li Shaochun, must kneel down and listen to the reprimand without a word, so Baochun's application for the drama school was beaten, which made the air in the family very tense for a while. Unexpectedly, Baochun did not have a dead heart, and went to grind hard bubbles with his grandmother, and finally accompanied by his grandmother to the Beijing Opera School.

At that time, the teachers at the school were very strange: it turned out that Li Shaochun's son could not sing. I remember that the examiner let Baochun sing a paragraph, and the result was "Dongfang Hong", when the re-examination, Forced Baochun did not know what to sing well, remembering that his grandmother taught him the Hebei Zizi "Yuanmen Chopper", he created a news that a Peking Opera family member sang Hebei Zizi in the Peking Opera examination hall. Soon, after the initial examination and re-examination, the title of the gold list was titled, and the grandmother said to her son: "Shaochun, I see that the baby is still learning to play." I will make the decision, take him to apply for the drama school, tomorrow you take Bao'er to report. He knew that his mother was partial to his grandson, but he did not dare to say a word, so he took Baochun to the drama school. However, he sent Baochun to the school, and only instructed one sentence at the school gate: "Once you enter the school gate, everything must listen to the teacher, you can't be afraid of suffering, you can't be afraid of pain, don't talk about your father." After speaking, he watched Baochun walk into the school gate and got into the car and left.

Since then, he has seen Baochun home every Sunday, and he has also asked about his son's study and drama, but he has never commented. Every Sunday, he would take the huqin to Baochun to tune his voice, no matter which genre his son sang and what play he sang, he never said whether the teacher taught well or badly, but just told his son that where to sing should be panting, and where to sing, do not take the tune. In the 8 years that Baochun studied drama, he only went to the drama school once, one was to visit Teacher Wang Shaolou, and the other was to ask Teacher Wang and the person in charge of the Peking Opera Department to arrange some martial arts classes for his son. Baochun's first performance in the drama school was to play Xu Maogong in "Lock five dragons". He went home and reported to him very seriously, he said: "I have not really studied this play, I must act well, I will not watch it." "

The second time Baochun was wan junzhao, who performed "Wu Wenhua" at the auspicious theater, Baochun asked his parents to watch the play, he said: "Your mother is not in good health these days, we will not go to the theater." You play it. In fact, he and his wife Hou Yulan arrived at the theater shortly after the play that day, and just quietly sat at the back of the theater. I don't know which classmate was sharp-eyed and fast-talking, just before he was about to play, the classmate lay down in his ear and said, "Li Bao'er, your father and your mother are coming, as soon as you enter the Dongan market, you let me see it." "

The speaker was very proud, but the listener immediately became nervous. It is said that when Wan Junzhao, who he played, went down the side of the first court, the three sweeping legs were not finished, and the tassels of the large belt were wrapped around the right leg and could not move. When he stepped on the two-table-high courtyard wall and turned down the "platform man", he heard the teacher who helped him to the table in his ear: "Don't panic, stand up and raise your breath." But as soon as he stepped on the table, he felt involuntarily, and as soon as he stepped down, he sat on the stage. Strong self-esteem made him immediately flash a thought: "How can my son Li Shaochun be so humiliated." "He really wanted to go under the carpet.

After the performance, his mother wanted to go backstage to see if her son was falling, and then gave her son a bag of sugar to comfort her son. Li Shaochun waved his hand and said very seriously, "Okay, why would he eat candy like this?" The couple went to the backstage, first to the bishop's teacher, Mr. Xu Yuanshan, to thank the lack of thanks, and then to each clothing box to thank the masters. Walking up to BaoChun, he looked at his son, and after a while, he stretched out his thumb and said, "True, how do you say I praise you?" This sentence was so ashamed that he almost didn't cry. His cold words made Baochun toothless and unforgettable. It is also strange that from that day on, Baochun, who has always been greedy, is like a changed person, and at school you can often see him and his classmates practicing the gun rack of "Heroic Righteousness", and the performance is also increasing.

When Baochun was in the fourth grade, the school rehearsed "Search for Orphans and Rescue Orphans" taught by teacher Yang Jufen himself, and the word "tiger" of the Xipi guide board "served the order in the White Tiger Lobby" could not be sung, and the bumper board "all for, save orphans, give up their own children..." Even if they tried their best, they could not sing it. Teacher Yang signaled to the band on the spot to lower a key, and Baochun was able to deal with this play. At this time, he felt ashamed and difficult to say, because everyone in the drama school knew that this was "inverting the warehouse", which was the most difficult "ghost door" for an actor to overcome, and it also showed that he began to understand "things" and understand "things" that many children should not understand. On the Saturday after the rehearsal, Baochun, who was usually in a hurry to go home, did not want to go home at all, because as soon as he returned home, he felt very ashamed and could not face his parents. Of course, dodging the first one, hiding from the fifteen.

On Sunday morning, he still heard his father pull up Kyohu. He knew that the door of the two yellow plates was pulled for him to sing "Search for Orphans", so he had to go to his father's room to adjust his voice. However, before he finished singing his sentence "The lady does not have to be too fierce", Mr. Li Shaochun put down the Huqin... Mr. Li put Jinghu down and said, "Bao'er, from today onwards, you should stop raising your voice." Pay attention to maintenance, and don't shout and scream. After that, you don't have to shout every morning, you can just walk around. If the school rules are always to shout, then you will take time off the night before to go home. "

This made Baochun very strange, his father, who had always been very strict, not only did not criticize him for his change of voice today, but did not ridicule him, but instead had a very kind attitude to comfort him; and then he heard the family say that when his father and uncle changed their voices, His grandfather Li Guichun asked them to shout at the root of the city wall every day, and to shout that the water vapor on the city wall would freeze into ice. It is said that they were also asked to shout at a large altar. In short, according to the Method of the Li Family, at the beginning of the voice change, it is necessary to shout hard, and it is necessary to practice three nines in winter and three volts in summer to practice a kung fu voice. This time, he took the complete opposite approach, resolutely not allowing Baochun to shout his throat.

Baochun often heard people in the troupe say that his father was "Li Shenxian", and there was almost no one in the Peking Opera circle who did not admire his father, so he believed that his father's hand must be a high skill. However, it is not allowed to shout in the voice, which is really scorpion - the only one in the Peking Opera circle, of course, he does not say, no one dares to ask. Bao Chun, his voice was on the barn door, his speech was difficult to hear, and he couldn't ask for it if he didn't let him shout his voice. Not to mention that his father wrote a letter to the school. Since then, he can go home every night, and his grandparents and parents have surrounded him with this baby knot, so why not enjoy it?

Of course, Li Shaochun is not whimsical, but in decades of artistic practice, he has found that it is always difficult to grasp the fate of his voice according to the method of hard work of his father, and he has always wanted to explore a practical training method. To this end, he specially visited guo Shuzhen, a vocal expert at the Central Conservatory of Music, and studied and practiced sound for four years. Thus recognizing the relationship between scientific vocal practice methods and voice physiological hygiene, it is concluded that the sound change period is mainly maintenance, waiting for work, step by step, and increasing the amount of training. Therefore, when he found that Baochun changed his voice, he did not have the slightest intention of criticizing, but tried to reduce his son's mental burden and then implement his new method of vocal practice.

At that time, all the students who changed their voices, or lost their voices for many years, or have been in a slump since then, only Baochun began to recover in just a few months, and then after step-by-step vocal training, he was soon able to sing "Borrowing the East Wind" taught by Principal Ma Lianliang. That day, when he came down with a guide, many people asked strangely: "When did this Li Bao'er change his voice?" How did my throat suddenly widen?" Even the teacher who managed the teaching said: "I don't know when this Li Bao'er changed his voice and when he changed it, only that he had a stage where his voice was a little awkward." Thanks to Mr. Li's personal guidance and supervision, Baochun's voice change period miraculously passed in the shortest possible time. Since then, he seems to have paid more attention to his son.
