Chapter 105 How Can You Invite Peng Chen? (Second update)...
The three of us ate breakfast together.
But Jiang Siyan still had work today, so the driver drove over to pick him up after breakfast.
After Jiang Siyan left, Peng Chen originally wanted to carry Peng Duole to the balcony to watch the script and brush up the drama as usual, but she received an impromptu phone call, which directly changed her itinerary for the day.
The call was from Pang Feng, an apprentice of Mr. Wang Jinlong.
Speaking of Mr. Wang Jinlong, although Peng Chen has been busy with work for more than a year and has never met Mr. Wang again, in fact she has always been in contact with Mr. Wang, but only during the holidays. It's time to call the old man and send a blessing message or something.
This time Pang Feng called Peng Chen because Peng Chen mentioned to the reporter that he wanted to learn Peking Opera when he was interviewed. In fact, this interview has been released for a long time, and Pang Feng has seen it long ago, but he has never paid much attention to it, and only mentioned it to Mr. Wang at the dinner table two days ago.
As a result, Mr. Wang fell in love with him at that time.
Mr. Wang himself had high hopes for this little girl, Peng Chen. After all, young people who are willing to talk about cross talk and learn Peking Opera are really rare these days. Although he himself is not a professional Peking Opera actor, he has a younger brother who is a famous Peking Opera actor. Because her surname is Mei, she ranks third, so she took the stage name Mei San. Mei San is good at singing Dan roles, especially in Tsing Yi. His Tsing Yi is handsome and soft, and his singing is clear and clear, so he has been quite famous in the Peking Opera circle since he was young.
But Mr. Mei, like Mr. Wang, has not been on stage for many years. Mr. Wang would occasionally show his face on TV programs in order to lead his apprentices, while Mr. Mei did not even appear on TV programs.
In fact, the director of the crew of "Red Plum" also tried to ask Mr. Mei San to come out of the mountain, but Mr. Mei declined the director directly on the phone, citing his poor health.
Peng Chen was quite regretful when he heard it, so he received a call from Pang Feng that day, saying that Mr. Wang Jinlong had invited Mr. Mei to his house to reminisce about the past, and when he asked Peng Chen if he would like to go to get together together, Peng Chen was almost flattered. He fully agreed.
Mr. Wang lives in the western suburbs of City A, far away from everything, and when Yu Fei came to visit Mr. Wang before, he complained that this place is very difficult to find. , have to walk in.
But finding such a place was not difficult for Peng Chen, let alone walking a few steps.
Pang Feng had already been waiting for Peng Chen at the gate of the courtyard because he had already spoken on the phone.
Peng Chen followed Pang Feng all the way into the yard, and saw Mr. Wang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, drinking tea and chatting with another silver-haired but energetic old man in the backyard.
Peng Chen respectfully greeted the two old gentlemen.
When Mr. Wang saw Peng Chen, he immediately waved to her, "Come here, come and sit."
Peng Chen walked over and stood behind Mr. Wang instead of sitting. The old man introduced Mei San to Peng Chen, and then he heard Mei San say with a smile: "Before you came, my senior brother praised you for being so kind, but I heard my senior brother mean that your previous interest was cross talk." , Why do you suddenly want to learn Peking Opera again?"
Peng Chen: "Mr. Wang's absurd praise. In fact, learning cross talk is just a hobby. As for wanting to learn Peking Opera this time, it has nothing to do with hobbies. Work."
As he spoke, Peng Chen briefly talked about his plans to take on the film "Red Plum" directed by Director Li next year.
Whether it is for interest or for work, Mr. Mei is encouraged that young people are willing to learn a little Peking Opera. However, Peking Opera is different from other skills. It is difficult to learn. It takes only two or three months to learn the basics. Unless you are very talented, let alone learn the superficiality, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even get started.
But listening to what his senior brother said just now, Peng Chen seems to have studied opera for a while when he was young, but later he specialized in cross talk because of his interest. As for why he didn't continue to be a cross talk actor but chose to debut as an actor, This is also easy to understand, after all, this little girl is so good-looking, it is indeed a bit inferior to be a cross talk actor.
Mei San: "Well, you can sing a section for me first, and I'll see how your basic skills are."
Peng Chen thought for a while, but didn't refuse. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then sang a short section of " Lock Lin Bag".
"Suolin Nang", also known as "Peony Robbery", is a classic aria in Tsing Yili of Peking Opera, and because it is a relatively representative piece in Peking Opera, it has been enduring for a long time.
Da Tsing Yi like Mei San is naturally quite familiar with this drama, in fact, he is not only familiar with it, he has acted countless times just on stage. And Mei San likes the drama "Suolin Sac" very much, because when people are a little older, they like comedies, and "Suolin Sac" is a comedy, which tells the story that although fate is impermanent, good people will eventually be good Report such a slightly tacky story.
As I said before, Mei San's singing is clear and bright, so Peng Chen's singing is soft and graceful. This is a unique characteristic of female voices, which is nothing unusual in itself, but what is strange is that Peng Chen's singing is not only soft and graceful, but also has a faint sense of sweetness in her voice. Moreover, her pronunciation is moderate, and her rhythm is soothing and peaceful, so it sounds comfortable and comfortable, with a kind of leisurely speaking.
This is rare.
At least it can be seen that there is a solid foundation, not a pure layman who doesn't understand at all.
Anyway, Mei San was quite satisfied after hearing it.
Like Mr. Wang, Mei San didn't forget to ask where she studied after listening to Peng Chen's Tsing Yi section of Peking Opera. Peng Chen still used the set of arguments he used to persuade Mr. Wang to prevaricate. He only said that there was an opera troupe near his home when he was young, and there were special opera performers and cross talk performers in it. At that time, Peng Chen was young, and the family saw that she was interested, so they asked her to listen and learn, but she had never formally studied as a teacher.
Such a long-standing thing, coupled with the fact that he was young at that time and moved several times later, is really untestable.
So Mei San didn't say anything after listening.
Mr. Wang, after listening to it, said next to him: "I always wanted to accept Peng Chen as a disciple, but I felt that there was nothing to teach her in the field of cross talk. Now it's rare that she wants to learn Peking Opera. Junior brother, do you think it's vaping?" Give me some time to guide you?"
Mei San didn't say yes or no, just looked at Peng Chen with a smile.
Peng Chen is such a smart person, when he saw this, he immediately knew that there was something to do: "Then there is old Mr. Lau Mei."
So from this day on, Peng Chen would go to Mei's house every two or three days to ask Mr. Mei San about Peking opera. aspects of things. Sometimes, seeing that the old man is in good spirits, he would show him the script of "Red Plum". The old man also gave a lot of valuable suggestions by the way. After Peng Chen returned, he would relay these opinions to the screenwriter and director.
After all, it is the opinion of Peking Opera masters, and they are real experts, so the director and screenwriter attach great importance to it. The script can be changed as much as possible, and can be added as much as possible. So Peng Chen learned a little bit of Peking Opera, and polished the script a little bit more by the way. It was also a surprise.
Near the end of the year, the drama "Red Plum" finally officially announced the actors.
Literary and artistic films like "Red Plum" can be seen from the selection of the material that they are not aimed at the box office at all, they are aimed at winning awards, so don't think that the subject matter is not popular enough, but before the official announcement of actors, in fact There are also many people inside and outside the circle who are paying attention.
But in the beginning, Jiang Siyan was always the protagonist of this movie. Everyone still admired Jiang Siyan. Jiang Siyan's face is definitely qualified to play Tsing Yi, so it's hard for people outside to say anything.
In the end, after a long time of commotion, the actor in the official announcement of the movie was not Jiang Siyan, but Peng Chen.
Now some people quit.
After all, Peng Chen used to act in TV dramas, why did he suddenly start acting on the big screen as a movie actor? Being a movie actor was nothing more than nothing, but it was unscientific to be able to snatch the role from Jiang Siyan in the end.
However, some smart netizens soon figured out the matter and came to the conclusion that Peng Chen didn't snatch the role from Jiang Siyan, but Jiang Siyan took the initiative to give it up.
There are two reasons. First, Jiang Siyan is the investor of this show, and the investors are all uncles now, so even if Peng Chen really wants to snatch the role from Jiang Siyan, Jiang Siyan has to nod himself You just need to agree, otherwise Peng Chen won't be able to get in even if he wants to; secondly, Peng Chen is originally an artist under Jiang Siyan's banner, so what kind of grab is it for an actor under his own banner to appear in a play invested by his company's boss?
That's reasonable.
Since Jiang Siyan himself has no opinion, what else do netizens have to say?
It may be that this statement convinced the majority of netizens, so netizens temporarily let go of the issue of Peng Chen snatching Jiang Siyan's role, and began to discuss why Peng Chen was able to act in the movie "Red Plum". You must know that Hongmei is a master of Peking Opera. Even if she doesn't find an actor with real Peking opera skills to play, at least she has to hire a professional film actor to play Hongmei's identity. How can she invite Peng Chen?
"Could it be because Peng Chen can talk about cross talk? You can talk about cross talk if you talk about cross talk, and sing Peking opera if you sing Peking opera. These two are irrelevant?"
"Maybe it's because Peng Chen can sing Kunqu opera and dance water sleeves? She participated in "A Date with Opera" before. Didn’t she sing Kunqu opera when she was in Beijing? And the ribbon dance, she danced so well.”
“I think it’s because she is beautiful! Doesn’t she just act in whatever she wants to be beautiful?”
“…”
Peng Chen was scrolling through Weibo while sitting in the car, and after she finished, she said to Dahai very seriously: "I found that the black fans are not serious about blackmailing me recently, why, is it because I haven't been popular recently? Dahai: "
...Maybe it's because more people want to hit you, so fewer people want to hit you! After all, according to the law of energy conservation, this is definitely a trade-off relationship."
Peng Chen : "..."
