Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 36

Zhang Shennian and Huang Simimei were wearing the latest clothes from Li Jin Studio.

Incorporating modern design concepts, but retaining the splendor of Li Brocade.

Huang Simei is wearing a polka-dot dress with a bright red main color, a black striped sleeveless vest, a red Li brocade turban on her head, a string of exaggerated silver necklaces on her chest, and blue cloth shoes with cowhide soles. She looks colorful, but unexpectedly Harmonious and stylish, people can't help but shine.

Huang Simi stood still and raised her voice. The noisy and extraordinary bamboo pole dance scene became quiet in an instant.

Her voice is ethereal and melodious, as if floating out in an empty valley, and then swinging back again; there is the loud and clear sound of lingering for three days, and the sweetness of spring water; people can't help but want to hear it again.

"The full moon on the spring river shines on the screen window, and the distant mountains and near waters are white. The daughter of the government, admiring the flowers before the moon, and the girl from the Li family weaving the brocade under the moon,
Father didn't return the seeds at night, and Chunniang guarded the hut alone, hoping that the busy farming will come back early, and a pot of warm wine will be offered to relatives..."

Huang Simimei is the representative of the patriarch who feeds and eats in the legend: Enlightenment and entry into the profession are later than others, but her body is weak, her practice is making rapid progress, and her voice is the sound of nature.Her voice is sweet and clear, without any impurities, like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, which is more pleasing to the ear and heart.

The content of "Kapok is Red" is also very down-to-earth. It tells how three generations of people at the foot of Erniang Mountain have passed on from generation to generation. How to grow kapok that sells well at home and abroad on the loess land through hardworking hands, water hope with sweat, and use youth Achieve dreams, and finally embark on the story of getting rich through labor.

This story is an unattainable daydream for the seniors who have faced the loess all their lives and turned their backs to the sky.

But for young people, it ignites the passion of "dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky" in their hearts, making them full of hope for the future.

Under the originally bustling audience, you can hear the needles quietly, holding your breath, followed Zhang Shennian and Huang Simimei, and entered the Erxian Village, which is full of kapoks in the mountains and plains; followed their hardworking hands, eager to create a different world on the yellow land. Food; following their high fighting spirit and spirit of striving, they dreamed of relying on their own feet to embark on a different path of farming and becoming rich...

Until the curtain call of Zhang Shennian and Huang Simei, the audience in the audience had already shed tears and shouted "Encore! Encore!"

The passionate young people at the scene shouted inspiring lines.

"Reform and opening up seize the day and night, and our generation should strive for self-improvement!"

"The market economy only looks at supply and demand, assess the situation and open up the pattern!"

"The wave before the wave and the wave after the wave will eventually go ashore, and work hard to get rich and create greater glories!"

……

After the curtain call, Huang Simimei and Zhang Shennian bowed deeply, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your love! "Kapok is Red" will be performed in the form of a series in the future, and will be performed in the Oriental Tea House of Erxian Village every month. Welcome everyone to come and drink tea Let’s go to the theater! Today, let’s not overwhelm the guests, let’s have a carnival together: sing, dance, and applaud our hard work and bravery! Music! Come on!”

The cheerful Qiongju ditty sounded, the bamboo poles were clapped again, and the scene entered a new round of carnival again. Everyone's face was filled with bright smiles.

This night, Qiongju broke through the barriers and became the same existence as pop songs and dances, making everyone at the scene happily join in the carnival.

Meng Huaxiang looked at the crazy scene in the audience, looked back at the other team leaders, and said with red eyes: "We, we have to obey the old! Today's young people understand the market better and understand the audience's preferences better. Maybe, Qiongju opera If you want to survive, you can no longer rely on the self-deceiving "the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys", but go into the crowd, and then walk out of the crowd!"

The other heads were silent, noncommittal.

After a long time, the oldest group leader "Huo" stood up: "Who said we are old? I am old-hearted! Isn't it just dancing with bamboo poles? I can do it too!" Then, she put on a costume and joined the scene An army of bamboo pole dancers.

Sun Moon Square has never been so lively, let alone such a carnival under the background sound of Qiong Opera.

*
Wang Yunfei, who came to cheer, was defeated after only a few rounds of the bamboo pole dance. He bent over and gasped for breath. He led a big brother to Zhang Shennian and Huang Simimei: "This is our neighbor from Taiwan Island." Mr. Wu Junfei, Mr. Wu! He said that his ancestor is also from our island. He once carried a gun with Zhang Lujin, a famous Qiong opera artist, and went into the same trench. He, now on the island, wants to help his ancestor realize his dream. Zhang Lujin; second, I want to find someone to cooperate with in the island fruit business. Isn’t it a coincidence that you asked me?! Brother Nian, sister-in-law, let’s talk about it?”

Huang Simei looked up, and saw a big belly with a big back standing opposite her.

She has a big back and is two heads taller than Huang Simei. She has a pair of black leather shoes that are shiny and black. She has a bulging briefcase. She is dressed in a stiff pale pink suit, which is a bit eye-catching, but she has small eyes and twitching fat when she smiles. She is very cute.

"Hello! Ruan Azu said that she listened to Zhang Lujin's "Mu Guiying in Command" and "Song of Righteousness" and resolutely carried her gun to the battlefield. Coincidentally, in the trenches, she ran into an idol who gave up acting and joined the army. Zhang Lujin, suddenly full of pride, never relentless in killing the enemy... Ruan Azu, in Taiwan, I listened to Zhang Lujin's tapes every day, and every time I listened to it, I cried and laughed. After the small three-way, she was going to personally When I came to the island, I wanted to see if Senior Zhang Lujin was still safe, and I also wanted to listen to an authentic Qiong opera, but I didn't expect..."

Wu Junfei was so excited that he told the story of his grandmother and Zhang Lujin: "Azu Ruan told a lot of stories about Zhang Lujin's seniors. She kept saying that Zhang Lujin was her savior: they were once trapped in the mangrove forest by devils, and my grandfather was exhausted. Unable to walk with all her strength, Senior Zhang Lujin carried her back and forth through the mangrove forest. After running all the way to get rid of the devils, she strung up a tree like a monkey, picked coconuts and smashed them open for my Azu, who asked her to drink coconut water to replenish her strength. ; Then, he found a broken fishing net non-stop, went to the fish pond to catch a few fish, lit a fire and roasted it for my grandpa to eat."

After taking a breath, Wu Junfei continued excitedly: "Also, when Zhang Lujin led the team to fight with the devils, he would show a golden voice and sing songs about fighting the enemy, which boosted morale and inspired people! In the Ding'an area, The devils were defeated by the women's army led by Zhang Lujin in the tunnel battle. They retreated in succession and had to move their positions to retreat. They never imagined that the people who defeated their regular army were the militias assembled temporarily by the Qiong Opera Troupe and the women and children in the village. The general is actually Zhang Lujin, the head of the troupe... My Azu said, if Zhang Lujin were a man, she would definitely give her body!"

"Ruan Azu said that although they couldn't promise each other with their bodies, they all kowtowed under the coconut tree and witnessed the sound of the waves. They agreed that they would be good sisters for a lifetime. Children and grandchildren should remember each other's friendship Let's get along! It's a pity that in the chaos after the war, Azu Ruan and Grandma Zhang got separated. Azu Ruan married the national army and went to Taiwan Island. Azu and Grandma Zhang faced each other across the island. Azu Ruan always wanted to go back to the island to meet Grandma Zhang. ,did not expect……"

After hearing this legendary story, Huang Simimei and Zhang Shennian were speechless.

Unexpectedly, such a fortuitous encounter would occur in a small Qiongju opera.Wang Yunfei's eyes stared like copper bells, filled with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Grandma Zhang is such a hero! It's a pity that Grandma Zhang has passed away for many years, and we can't let us see her demeanor on stage again. However, Shen Nian and Simei, You are grandma Zhang who taught Qiong opera hand in hand..."

Hearing this sentence, Wu Junfei's eyes were red with excitement, and he held Zhang Shennian's hands tightly, his voice trembling slightly: "Before Ruan Azu died, he once said that if he could listen to "Poetry on Red Leaves" live again, especially Lu Jinqiang If I can sing the female singer's voice, I will die without regret. It's a pity that her wish has not been fulfilled. If I can listen to her once, it can be regarded as indirectly helping her fulfill this wish... I just don't know the two of you, can you help me? Huh?"

The yellow atmosphere is set off here, and it can't be done without singing.

Although Huang Simimei and Zhang Shennian have diverted to the sea, under Meng Huaxiang's "iron rod education", they still dance to the sound of chickens every day, their voices and figures are immortal.

It's just that the two are busy with business, and indeed the opportunities to perform on stage are getting less and less. This time in "Kapok Is Red", they can be regarded as a comeback.

Huang Simei pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is so predestined, my husband and I will present you the "Garden Party" of the classic Qiong Opera "Red Leaf Inscription"! This is the climax of the whole play, and it is about Yu Rui and Wen Donghua. The love scene can be regarded as the most classic scene."

Wu Junfei took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears frequently: "Okay! Okay! Thank you so much! Thank you! I'm here to make my grandfather's dream come true!"

The husband and wife went to the backstage and began to change clothes and put on makeup without stopping.Huang Simei looked at her brightly painted face in the mirror, and sighed lowly: "I have to use my forehead, otherwise my eyebrows will start to droop!"

Zhang Shennian came over, licked her hair, looked at him in the mirror, and said solemnly: "Why is my wife so beautiful!" Huang Simi was amused and spat at him: "Spoof!"

Liu Yuwan, who played the role of Meixiang Cuixia in "The Garden Party", twisted her handkerchief awkwardly with her hands, and practiced Meixiang steps on the spot. When she saw Huang Simmei looking at her, she laughed shyly twice.

Huang Simi stepped forward and touched her head: "Sing well!"

Liu Yuwan let out a crisp "Hey" and patted her chest to promise that she would sing well: "I'm not like my brother! He sang the wrong words again when he performed "The Unruly Princess" just now!"

Liu Yushan frightened his younger sister with rounded eyes: "If you mention my embarrassment again, I will beat you!"

Liu Yuwan wrinkled her nose and stuck her tongue out to make a grimace: "I'll say it! I'll say it: Liu Yushan is stupid, he doesn't want to go to school after singing Qiongju opera; if he doesn't do well in school exams, is his butt miserable?"

Seeing this, Liu Yushan went up to cover her mouth, and the two got into a mess.

After the two brothers and sisters joined the theater troupe, they were thrown into the school by Meng Huaxiang on the first day of school. They skipped a grade and asked them to attend classes with Zhang Wenxuan and Zhang Wenqian.

Liu Yushan was dumbfounded, crying out of breath: He thought that if he joined the troupe, he could escape from class and do homework, but he didn't expect that when he came to the troupe, he not only had to get up early to practice his voice and body, but also had to go to class and do homework. It's just getting up early and working late, suffering unspeakably.

Meng Huaxiang moved him with emotion and reason, and only then did he understand that if he was illiterate, he would not even be able to be a newcomer in the future—he couldn’t read scripts, he couldn’t read opera scores, and he wouldn’t be able to get along in a theater troupe. open.

Of course, more importantly, Zhang Wenqian quietly said to him: "My mother said, as long as you study well, you can do whatever you want in the future! If you don't study, you only have one choice to sing; but if you study well Now, you can not only sing, but also be a teacher, a policeman, a scientist..."

Although Liu Yushan was crying, he was still very obedient: he trained conscientiously, studied diligently, and became a well-known school bully.

But the black history of crying in class has become a pillar of shame in his life, and everyone often laughs at him.Especially my younger sister Liu Yuwan, who would make fun of him if she had nothing to do.

Closer to home.

Huang Simimei and Zhang Shennian's "Garden Party" performance is an easter egg of the cultural festival.After all the performances were over, the host announced: "In order to respond to the fans' enthusiastic encore just now, next, please enjoy the "Garden Party" in "Red Leaf Inscription Poems" brought by Dongfangqiong Troupe. Aria, this aria will not participate in the group arena competition, it will only be performed as a friendly performance. Please!"

"Late at night in the famous garden, the moon is bright and the wind is fine. I invite the poet to meet here. The skirt is fluttering and the ring is swaying. How to speak to the beautiful woman. It turns out that it is a graceful flower branch under the moon, who mistakenly takes the willow for a beautiful girl."

Zhang Shennian's unique masculine sweet voice is like a trickle of water, and there is a special magic power when he speaks, which makes the audience who left the stage noisy, gather in front of the stage again.

"It's colder and colder in the night, and it's too late to see Brother Wen!" As soon as Huang Simei's melodious libretto came out, the scene instantly burst into thunderous applause.

Liu Yuwan, who is only 13 years old, has grown to 1.5 meters [-] in height. With heavy makeup, no one can tell that she is still a student.

At this moment, standing beside Huang Simi, she felt very at ease: as long as Huang Simi was around, no matter what went wrong, she would be able to cover it up: "Build a magpie bridge to help Weaver Girl, and go to the Cowherd Qixi Festival..."

Liu Yuwan took Huang Simei by the hand, and pointed to Wen Donghua played by Zhang Shennian: "Miss, there is Mr. Wen standing in front of you, let you talk about your thoughts..."

Her movements were playful, her eyes were lively and lively, and she was cute and festive all over her body. Coupled with her crisp singing voice, the whistles and screams from the audience became louder and louder in an instant.

Especially her delicate little gesture of covering her mouth and smiling, caused the boys in the audience to scream again and again.

Huang Simei's sweet voice and Zhang Shennian's singing are the treasures of the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe.

The two had their own brilliance in the course of the island Qiongju opera, and this impromptu cooperation was seamless.It is still elegant in singing and writing, still makes people feel like a play in a second, and it is still exciting when it is narrated.
