Some people say that Cheng Yanqiu is too "independent." This mainly refers to his private drama that refuses to be easily passed on. Cheng Yanqiu felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so. He said: "What 'ancestral secret recipes' and 'private rare books' that China has left behind for thousands of years are not all 'independent' in this way?" In fact, his "independence" is targeted.
Cheng Yanqiu
It is aimed at people who secretly steal scripts and performances without permission and consent. Here I would like to introduce an actress named Wang Yuhua, stage name Yulan Fang, later changed to New Yanqiu. This lady named Yulan Fang originally sang Hebei Zizi. Around 1925, since seeing Cheng Yanqiu with his brother, the brothers and sisters became obsessed with Cheng Pai together. She immediately made a secret decision: not to sing Zizi, to sing Beijing opera, and to concentrate on learning.
Whenever there is a performance, she and her brother will go to "steal the play". The two hid in the corner of the upper floor of the theater, and the brother specialized in the huqin and singing chamber of the ruler (that is, the music score), and she carefully wrote down the singing, reading and body of the whole play. After the play was dispersed, the two walked home and studied the results of watching the play just now.
As he spoke, he drew a line: the brother hummed the huqin to accompany him, and the younger sister sang while walking up. When I got home, I was too sleepy to sleep, and then I practiced. There is no mirror, just practice in the moon. From the shadow, look at your own figure, you must remember what you have learned that day. Sometimes, it will get bright as soon as you get it.
New Autumn
In pear garden line, this is called "stealing drama"! "Stealing drama" is a big taboo. In order to avoid being recognized and driven out, Xin Yanqiu disguised herself as a boy and went to the theater. After a few years of "stealing", he "stole" All the early representative plays of Cheng Yanqiu. Mei Lanfang and Qi Rushan watched her performance and said in amazement: "This child's singing style is very similar to Cheng Laosi (that is, Cheng Yanqiu). He suggested that she worship Cheng as a teacher. The result can be imagined: thanked by Cheng Wan. Later, after being introduced by the seniors, Xin Yanqiu paid homage to Mei Lanfang.
But she really liked Cheng Pai. Since she could not get direct instruction from her parents, she went around the bend to learn. One is to worship Cheng Yanqiu's teacher Wang Yaoqing as a teacher; the other is to learn from the partners and partners who played Cheng. Seeing her painstakingly learning, people are happy to point out. When she felt that the time was ripe, she showed the banner of "Cheng Pai" and changed her name to Xin Yanqiu. Even she herself felt that this stage name was "not very respectful" to Cheng Yanqiu.
But she couldn't take care of that, why? In her original words, "For the sake of standing on stage, can be red!" He also said: "I became famous for singing, sorry Mr. Cheng." A person who does something that is wrong in his heart actually understands it in his heart.
With a plan, she not only became red, but also competed with Cheng Yanqiu. First, they suddenly surprised the soldiers and instigated the incident of "Minghe Society's defection." To put it simply, it was to use heavy money to buy the young actors in Cheng Yanqiu's "Minghe Society" drama class, and even people brought Cheng Pai's script over. It should be known that the opera stage must be matched by life and death, so Cheng Yanqiu is furious.
Second, when Cheng Yanqiu went to Europe for investigation, she sang a special song. The third is to pull the people who cooperate with Cheng Yanqiu on the same stage to their own class and accompany her to sing. The effect was, of course, immediate: "All of a sudden, I was red and purple (Xinyan Qiu). When Cheng Yanqiu found out that Xiaosheng, who had worked well with him, had secretly passed on his play to others, he broke with it.
Later, whenever he performed, as long as he heard that someone came to steal his script lyrics, recitation, singing voice, and body, he immediately found a violinist and temporarily changed the main singing voice in the background. Let those who steal the art not be sure and cannot learn. Cheng Yanqiu's "independence" looks quite selfish. I admire Cheng Yanqiu's "independence" because he first understood the protection of intellectual property rights.
Not long ago, I chatted with the descendants of several long-established medicine shops in Beijing. I asked, "After the public-private partnership, how is your life?" ”
"A plummet." "Why?"
"Because the premise of public-private partnership is that the ancestral secret recipe of pharmaceuticals must be handed over. Give the secret recipe and you will have nothing. "I suddenly realized.
