Choosing a Career

Liu Xi somewhat understood Wen Zhongjun. He probably wanted to make a complete break with the past, so he even changed his surname.

But she couldn't say this to Shen Liangjun, because he would be sad if he was so crying.

So she could only take the newspaper back, roll it up and say, "Maybe they just look alike. Master will be back soon. Let's go cook quickly."

Shen Liangjun knew in his heart that he was Wen Zhongjun. Even Liu Xi, an eight-year-old girl, understood the truth. How could he not understand it?

Not only did he understand, he also thought further.

He grabbed the newspaper, rolled it into a ball in the blink of an eye, and said, "Master must not see this newspaper. We are about to cook, so let's use it to light the fire."

Liu Xi nodded in agreement, and the two of them headed to the kitchen.

Not expecting Liu Tielan to come back at this moment, the two of them were so startled that they turned around and hid the newspaper tightly behind their backs. However, both of their faces turned pale and they were speechless.

Liu Tielan saw the two standing together neatly, standing like flagpoles, and smiled: "Why are you so sneaky? What bad things have you done?"

Liu Xi and Shen Liangjun shook their heads together, "No, what can we have to say to each other? We just need to practice hard at home. Master, are you hungry? Let's go cook now!"

As Shen Liangjun said this, he squeezed Liu Xi and walked together.

Liu Tielan didn't want to but handed a newspaper to the two of them and said without changing his expression: "The second and third sons are in the newspaper. They are quite impressive. You two should take a look and be happy for them."

Liu Xi and Shen Liangjun looked at each other in disbelief.

"Master, you - you can't read the newspaper either?"

Liu Xi asked casually, and Shen Liangjun glared at her.

Although Liu Tielan is very poor now, she went to private school for two years when she was a child, but it was only later that her family fell into decline that she took up the path of singing.

"Master, aren't you sad after reading the news about San'er?"

Shen Liangjun is not worth replacing Liu Tielan.

"sad?"

Liu Tielan looked at the two of them and saw Liu Xi holding the torn-up newspaper in front of him, knowing that they had already read the news.

So he walked into the main room with a smile, sat down on a chair by the table and said: "He is now praised by people, and he can sing the Chinese axle in the Jixiang Grand Theater. This is his blessing. Although I am no longer his master, But I also wish him well. He is doing well now, so how can I be sad?"

"But he changed the name you gave him. He doesn't have you in his heart at all."

"puff--"

Liu Tielan did not comment on Shen Liangjun's words and continued to explain to the two of them: "This is quite normal. Among the famous actors in this liyuan industry, who hasn't changed their stage names several times? You have few opportunities to appear on stage and see few actors. Don't understand this.

Now that he is famous, he wants to have a famous stage name. This is nothing. Why should I be sad because of this?"

Liu Tielan kept smiling when he spoke, but Liu Xi could see clearly that he was still a little sad.

After all, he was his apprentice from childhood to adulthood. Now that he has embarked on such a path, although it is glorious, it has nothing to do with him.

But any mortal with flesh and blood will inevitably be sad when encountering such a thing.

After Liu Tielan said this, he touched his stomach with both hands and said: "After running around all day, Master is really a little hungry. Boss, go and cook quickly."

Shen Liangjun said "Hey" and quickly looked at Liu Xi with a puzzled expression.

The master asked him to cook alone and did not ask Liu Xi to do it. This meant that he had something to say to Liu Xi.

Although he was curious, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he entered the kitchen with three steps and one turn.

Liu Tielan then called Liu Xi to him and asked her seriously: "I didn't want to teach you before, so I didn't ask you carefully. Now that I have promised to teach you, I have to ask you something clearly."

Liu Xi lowered his head humbly and said, "Master, just ask, I will tell you the truth."

Liu Tielan: "You said you wanted to learn singing, but have you decided what kind of business you want to learn?"

Liu Xi stopped him immediately.

She likes to listen to operas and also likes to sing operas.

As for which trade she wanted to learn, she had never thought about it.

Do you have to learn only one trade?

But she also likes colorful faces, and also likes female roles. Because she has learned some boy skills from her father since she was a child, she also wants to learn the martial arts drama. If she has the conditions, she can also play the role of Lao Sheng, and play the role of Bo Yuntian.

sure.

Liu Tielan seemed to have read her thoughts and interrupted her: "Don't rush to answer, why don't you listen to my teacher first. I know that you have a good voice, good figure and appearance, and you have some boyish skills."

On the body, so you can still do both student and bachelor jobs.

But the first time I saw you on stage, you played the role of Jiao Zan with a painted face.

Do you prefer the colorful show to these two professions?"

Liu Xi: "I——"

"You have to think clearly. Although you can sing anything according to your conditions, once you make up your mind, you have to practice this wholeheartedly.

Since ancient times, there have been talents with two, three, and four talents, but among these people, none of them can reach the pinnacle of a single profession. It is not easy for us opera singers to become famous in one profession.

"

Before Liu Xi could say anything, Liu Tielan sounded the alarm again.

Liu Xi understood the meaning of the master very well. He knew that it was not easy for a woman to learn opera, and he did not want her to waste her years by being half-hearted. He wanted her to settle down early and learn a trade well, so as to silence the mouths of those who looked down on female artists.

But she also has her own considerations.

"Isn't Master a female actor? If I learn opera from you, I can only learn female actors, right?"

"You don't need to worry about this. There is a teaching method for danjiao, and a teaching method for raw horns. If you really want to learn pure horns, I also have a way for you to learn it. The main thing is which profession do you want to learn?"

Liu Tielan gave Liu Xi reassurance.

Liu Xi heard what he said and had an idea in his mind, so he asked tentatively: "How about I learn the colorful face opera first?"

It’s not that she likes colorful faces the most. She is a girl, so she has a natural advantage in learning the role of a female actor. Nowadays, the role of a female actor is also very popular. If she learns the role of a female actor, she will definitely become famous faster.

But now the imperial court does not allow women to perform on stage.

So what she thought was that if she learned the flower-faced opera, people wouldn't be able to tell her gender, and she wouldn't let people know whether she was a boy or a girl. If she became famous by singing like this, she wouldn't be considered a deceitful person in front of her ancestors.

.

But when Liu Tielan heard that she wanted to learn to paint faces, although it was expected, she was still very sorry.

Because in this case, he would have to let this apprentice go.

But he also wanted to be open-minded, and he didn't have the guts to bear the consequences of asking Liu Xi to sing on stage. It would be better not to let him teach him at all, but to find someone bold enough to teach him, which would not only save him the trouble, but also help Liu Xi.

, this is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone...

Regarding the two-door embrace, the three-door embrace, and the four-door embrace: it refers to the artist's cross-industry interpretation.

Liangmenbao is a play that can perform two professions.

Sanmenbao is a play that can perform three professions.

The four-door hug is the most powerful, which means that you can act in anything and you are proficient in everything.

There is also a theory that the same role is played by actors from different professions. This theory is more common, but the article refers to the first theory.

However, due to the different singing styles of various professions, it is actually difficult to perform across professions.

Danjiao and Xiaoshengxing, who also sing small voices, should be hugged from both ends. Jingjiao and Laoshengxing, who are also singing big voices, should be hugged from both ends. The other groups perform across rows because of the habit of switching between small and large voices, which is very difficult.

Big voice: similar to the original sound.

Small voice: similar to falsetto.
