Gao Qingkui, a master of Peking Opera art, created a high-school repertoire that became an important branch of the old school of Peking Opera. Gao Qingkui's voice is high-pitched and loud, and his singing voice is full of qi and intestines. The high-school plays he created are also high-quality plays that must not be mentioned in high-school art. Today, we will talk about Gao Qingkui's high-school repertoire.
When it comes to high-school dramas, the first thing we will want is "three cuts and one touch", of course, there are also sayings that "three chops and one probe". For this "three slashes and one touch" or "three chops and one probe", the current statement is that there are so many plays, that is, "Chopping The Son", "Chopping the Yellow Robe", "Chopping the Horse", "Also said to be "Chopping the Red Robe"), "Touching the Monument", this probe refers to "Visiting the Mother" or "Exploring the Yin Mountain". In addition to this three-chop drama, that is, Gao Qingkui's "Xiaoyaojin", for Gao Qingkui, "Xiaoyaojin" is also a play that Gao Qingkui was very called at that time. Let's talk about these plays briefly.
First of all, we are talking about "Xiaoyaojin", and when we say that the play "Xiaoyaojin" is now we can hear the voice of Gao Qingkui from the record. But it is a pity that due to the time of the record, the record of "Runaway" is not sung very comprehensively. At that time, it was directly recorded that "the deception of the widow is like a cat and a mouse." Although the record is incomplete, but we can hear Gao Qingkui singing the state of this time, this sentence two yellow guide plate can be said to be the longest guide plate in the old student guide, when someone first pinched the past, the length of this guide plate was measured, the time of this sentence guide plate was about 3 minutes. Singing in Gao Qingkui gives people a feeling of being in one breath. The singing voice of this play is also evolved from Gong Yunfu's "You Six Halls". It is also a play sung by the famous masters of the previous generations on the stage, and it is also a singing drama of the representatives of the old students, not only Gao Qingkui sings these, such as Shuangju, Shi Huibao, Yao Yulan, Tang Yunsheng and others all sing this play. But the real singing of the play is on fire, and the one who can sing this play is Gao Qingkui. Singing this play is inseparable from Gao Qingkui's voice and singing skills. This is also a singing section suitable for Gao Qingkui's play, so for an actor, it is quite important to choose a suitable repertoire.
Secondly, let's talk about the three chops. Gao Qingkui's three-chop repertoire is basically inherited from Gao Qingkui's teacher Liu Hongsheng. Gao Qingkui's teacher Liu Hongsheng is also a good voice, compared with Gao Qingkui. But Gao Qingkui's cleverness is to develop Liu Hongsheng's singing voice again on the basis of Liu Hongsheng, although the tone of Liu Hongsheng's singing method is reduced, but it makes people listen more beautiful than before. Being able to show the original style while maintaining the original style is also Gao Qingkui's unique innovation. It can be said that for the old students, the requirements for talent in these three plays are relatively high, and the voice conditions of the actors are a consideration. At the beginning, some people said of Gaopai: 'If you have a voice, you may not be able to sing Gaopai, and without a voice, you must not be able to sing Gaopai.' So for a good actor with a voice, how to use his voice conditions is a very important thing. Gao Qingkui did just that. Although the tone of Gao Qingkui's singing three slashes is high, it is not harsh to listen to. We can listen to the doll tune in "The Gate Chopper". This sentence is sung gently and changeably, giving people a feeling of being able to do it all in one go.
Among the three chops, the most distinctive record is "Chop Horse Rumor". Gao Qingkui's horse-chopping rumors still sing Lao Tan's words "it is difficult to dispel hatred over and over again". Allegro character beads. But when it came to the section "If it wasn't tight to draw pictures", Gao Qingkui should have sung the rocking board. At this time, Zhuge Liang's disobedience anger toward Wang Ping and the terrible nature of the consequences told him word by word. Such a treatment is indeed a reasonable treatment. For the singing voice, this slows down a bit, and the feeling of giving people for the whole play is indeed balanced a lot. For the whole singing section, Gao Qingkui's place is indeed very clever. It can be said that in the records of the three chops, we can hear Gao Qingkui's "upstairs and upstairs" singing method, such as the guide board of "Yuanmen Chopper", and the first and last sentences of "Chopping Yellow Robe" This is the best embodiment of this "upstairs upstairs" singing method. The audience sounds very emotional, and can make people come to the spirit immediately.
However, although Gao Qingkui has made great achievements in the old life line, Gao Qingkui is not an actor who only sings about the old life. The most valuable is Gao Qingkui's records of "Exploring yin mountain" and "Digging the Ground to See the Mother", one is the singing method of anti-string flower face, and the other is the singing method of anti-string Lao Dan. Therefore, Gao Qingkui also has a nickname called "Gao Zao" in the eyes of insiders. This means that Gao Qingkui will have more and more meetings. His play is wide. In Gao Qingkui's performance, we actually saw Gao Qingkui playing two professions in a play, such as playing Wu Zixu in the front and Ji Zhi in the back in "Wu Zixu". Played Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and Guan Yu in "Qun Yinhua". This is all the embodiment of Gao Qingkui's playful approach.
