Chapter 431: The other side of the class
Qian Chang whispered to Mu Yang: "You said, this won't scare those American children. If one or two of them are scared, we can't explain to the Houston education department, the laws of the United States are very fucked."
There is no stage for this performance, basically a face-to-face performance, and the performers are only five or six meters away from the audience. Qian Chang was afraid that the old men would suddenly scream and make the children cry.
"Brother Qian, what do you think?" Mu Yang also felt that this was not very reliable.
"Or why don't we contact other cities to see if there is any suitable one?" Qian Chang said.
"It's a long way away, and there's only 10 minutes of performance time in total. It's not a big stage. It's also a lot of housework to bring, which is not easy to say." Mu Yang scratched his head and said.
"Don't worry about it for now, please contact me and try it. If it really doesn't work, let the old men go. I think the children in the United States are not that fragile." Qian Chang said.
The two took out their cell phones and contacted each other.
However, they were not lucky and contacted Chinese organizations in several cities. When they heard the performance for a few minutes, they had to run hundreds or thousands of kilometers, but the other party refused directly.
Mu Yang and Qian Chang scratched their heads. Could it be that the old men were really screaming and shouting twice? It was too unbeautiful?
At this time, Mu Yang felt aroused, and suddenly remembered something, and tried to say to Qian Chang: "Brother Qian, is Sichuan Opera OK?"
"You have contacted the Sichuan Opera performing, what kind of opera?" Qian Chang said curiously.
"Change your face, Sichuan opera changes your face." Mu Yang said.
"Chang's face changed," Qian Chang said happily: "I have watched this on TV. It's very interesting, like performing magic. I guess the children will like it. Some of the people you contact will show face change."
Mu Yang shook his head and said, "No."
"Then what did you think he is doing?" Qian Chang's face collapsed.
"I can." Mu Yang said.
"You can, you can perform your face. Are you not from Beijing?" Qian Chang said in confusion.
"Is this related to whom? Can't people in the capital eat Sichuan hot pot?" Mu Yangshai said.
"That's great. You can show me one." Qian Chang urged.
"I want to prepare the performance props. Want to watch it? Don't just take a few minutes, it's very troublesome to perform." Mu Yang said.
"Okay, our Consulate General."
Saying goodbye to a few opera lovers who were still entertaining themselves, Mu Yang and Qian Chang went to the Consulate General. Mu Yang went to the room and traveled through the Anti-Japanese War time and space.
Do Mu Yang really knows how to change his face? He has really learned it, and he also has a complete set of guys, performance costumes and face masks. He even has a fire spurt device.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, many Chinese fled to China to avoid war. In 1942, Chang Maonian brought his family and his family to Sweden.
Chang Maonian is a famous Sichuan opera performer in Chengdu. Although he is not a master, he is also the leader among them. He once studied under the Sichuan opera master Fang Kuian. In 1942, Chang Maonian was a good age with rich experience and strong strength, but because of the war, he had to go to his other path.
During his performances, he met Niels, a businessman from Denmark. Niels came to China to sell glass, and his business was unsatisfactory. After watching Chang Maonian's performance, he was impressed by the art of face-changing Sichuan opera. At that time, he wanted to ask for the secrets.
However, since ancient times, the face-changing of Sichuan Opera has been the biggest secret of the master. After entering the school, you need to make a vow and never reveal it to the public. Therefore, Chang Maonian would not tell Niels, but the two became friends.
The war became more and more powerful, and many people felt in danger, and Niels was preparing for the country. Before leaving, he found Chang Maonian and asked him if he would follow him to Denmark and perform the art there.
At this time, the domestic turmoil was turbulent, and many people had a problem with their meals. Chang Maonian's income was getting worse and worse, and his daily income was only enough for the family's rations. Finally, under the persuasion of Niels, Chang Maonian resolutely sold his house in Chengdu. With Niels' donation, he raised enough money for the family's ferry tickets and embarked on a long journey.
But before arriving in Denmark, I heard that Denmark had been occupied by the German army, and even Niels did not go, so the two families had to get off the boat in Malmö. Malmö and Du Copenhae of Denmark were only separated by a strait, about a dozen nautical miles.
Finally, Niels lost his job and became Chang Maonian's agent. Chang Maonian began his acting career, but the people here are not very acceptable to this art from the East. People treat it more as a magic trick.
In any case, Chang Maonian had an income and could support his family. Moreover, the place was quite stable, so he just lived in peace.
Mu Yang saw Chang Maonian who was invited to perform at a cocktail party of local wealthy businessmen in Malmö. Mu Yang expressed his great pleasure in seeing his hometown people thousands of miles away. After Chang Maonian finished his performance, he went up to chat.
When the two met, they naturally expressed their feelings for each other. After Chang Maonian learned that Japan had been defeated and the country was victorious, he was so happy that he shed tears. It was because of those little Japanese that he had to come here to make a living from Chongyang.
Niels is Chang Maonian's agent now and often comes into contact with Malmo's upper class. Naturally, he knows that a wealthy Chinese businessman like Muyang is naturally happy to be able to contact Muyang.
Mu Yang and Chang Maonian became friends, and the two families also moved around. Mu Yang was also very curious about Sichuan opera changes. After watching the performance, he checked the content on this website. There are many things selling teaching CDs, clothing props on this website. It seems that the cultural treasures of our ancestors have been made into commodities in modern society.
Mu Yang was curious and bought a set of clothes, masks, and fire-breathing props. It was quite complete, but after fiddling with them for a long time, he was unable to enter.
Finally, I have to ask Chang Maonian. Chang Maonian has been in Sweden for more than three years and knows that his skill is not so valued abroad. He has become good friends with Mu Yang, and he may also ask this friend to take care of him.
Finally, Chang Maonian told Mu Yang that he could give him the tricks, but he should not be spread randomly. After all, if this thing spreads, it will actually cost many people's jobs, and the ancestors will blame him.
Mu Yang didn't point to this thing to eat, he was just curious and hobby, so he naturally agreed.
The methods of changing faces are generally divided into three types: "smearing the face", "blowing the face", "pulling the face". In addition, there is also a "luck" changing face. In fact, what we often see is "pulling the face", "blowing the face", and "blowing the face" is very cumbersome to perform, requiring various oil paints and color powders, and the requirements are also quite troublesome.
