Chapter 34: grandstanding unfilial son 13
Gao Junxin announced to Tianxi Ban that he was going to perform “The Legend of the White Snake” with the Sichuan Opera Research Institute, and everyone cheered excitedly.
At this time last year, they couldn’t eat, and now they have the opportunity to appear on the largest stage in the province and perform with the highest-spec Sichuan Opera Troupe. Can you be unhappy?
“Senior brother, is it true?” The children couldn’t believe it.
“Of course it’s true!” Gao Junxin touched the children’s heads and said, “Mr. Zheng will mention the cooperation on her Weibo tomorrow, and the official announcement will begin when both parties have confirmed the cast list.”
The children laughed.
After the joy, the children could not help but worry.
“Senior brother, what do you think we can play?” Zhang Xiao asked nervously.
Of course he wanted to come on stage, but the state-run theatre troupe was full of talented people. They are definitely not as strong as the class, they are young, and they are not tall enough. How can they compete with them? I’m afraid that there will be no chance for the dragon set.
Gao Jun comforted his heart and said: “Don’t worry, I have given everyone a chance to play. It’s just for the scene, I’m afraid it won’t compare to our performance in our own theater.”
Gao Junxin was vaccinated in advance.
The children nodded one after another: “Senior brother, we understand!”
“Senior brother, which role are you playing?” Zheng Huanxi asked.
Forget about them, the age is still small and the role is not good enough. But the senior brother can also be regarded as a character. Since it is a cooperation, it should also play an important role, such as Bai Suzhen.
“I’m playing Xiaoqing.” Gao Jun thought.
“Hello Xiaoqing, I like Xiaoqing the most!” San Niu immediately clapped her hands.
Zheng Huanxi was a little surprised: “Isn’t it Bai Suzhen?”
She hoped that her brother could play the leading role. The Legend of the White Snake, The Legend of the White Snake, the protagonist is naturally Bai Suzhen. In an instant, the set of fan circle pulling and tearing the fan position quickly went through in my mind.
“Xiaoqing is also the starring role.” Gao Junxin rubbed Zheng Huanxi’s head, the little girl thought too much.
“That’s different.” Zheng Huanxi was not happy.
“Do you want to act on stage, or continue to accompany?” Gao Junxin asked.
“Accompaniment!” Zheng Huanxi made a choice without hesitation.
“Why do you want to accompany you but don’t want to go on stage? Because both the actors and the pianist serve the whole play, and you choose the one you are best at. The same goes for the actors, it doesn’t really matter which role you play, Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen are the same. Just choose the right one. That’s it.” Gao Jun thought.
Zheng Huanxi was stunned. She instinctively felt that there was something wrong with her brother’s words, but she couldn’t say anything wrong. Just shut up.
*
Gao Junxin began to talk to the children.
Since he was going to play this play, he had to go through the plot at least once. The characters in it, their lyrics, narration, martial arts design, and unique skills arrangements. He hoped that everyone in the class would have at least an impression.
By the way, Gao Junxin himself reviewed “The Legend of the White Snake”.
“The Legend of the White Snake” is the best and most popular show in Sichuan Opera. It is a multi-voice big-screen play, which is the culmination of many stunts, and the essence of Sichuan Opera is included in it.
However, the story of the traditional version of Sichuan Opera “The Legend of the White Snake” also has regrets, and he is incomplete in terms of plot.
The traditional version of “The Legend of the White Snake” starts from the book “Buddha Hall Breaks the Locks” and ends with the fight between gods and demons in Jinshan Temple, and the water floods Jinshan Temple.
The story begins with Western Bliss. Guizhi Luohan was moved by the white snake who was suppressed and imprisoned, and the Buddha demoted him to the mortal world to suffer in reincarnation. The white snake broke free from its chains and went to find a lover.
On the way down the mountain to find a lover, Bai Suzhen meets Xiaoqing. After the competition, Xiaoqing changed into a female body and worshipped him. The two found Xu Xian, the reincarnation of Guizhi Arhat, and with the help of Xiaoqing, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian married.
The Buddha dispatched Fahai to capture the white snake, and Fahai ordered Jingwang Daoling to disturb the couple’s relationship. After several successes, Xu Xian became suspicious of Bai Suzhen and deceived him to Jinshan Temple.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing went to Jinshan Temple to ask for Xu Xian, but they were blocked by Fahai. In a fit of anger, Xiaoqing flooded the mountains with water, ordering all the water tribes to fight against the gods.
In the last scene of the Sichuan drama “The Legend of the White Snake”, Bai Suzhen is besieged by the gods. Xu Xian regrets that he wants to rush out to protect Bai Suzhen but is blocked by the gods. When Bai Suzhen was desperate, Xiaoqing and all the water tribes arrived. Bai Suzhen rushed out of the encirclement of the two gods of wind and fire, and reconciled with Xiaoqing.
The fire was burning and the river was flooding. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen called from a distance, and they were not allowed to reunite. Fahai, on the other hand, sat high on the throne.
The story ends here, with no end, but with a tragic ending.
The follow-up stories are not without it. “Broken Bridge” and “Xu Shilin’s Pagoda” are both traditional excerpts. It’s just that for various reasons, the senior artists chose to stop abruptly in “Jinshan Temple” and did not include the follow-up plot.
Gao Junxin admires this kind of incomplete beauty and tragic beauty, but who doesn’t like to watch a happy reunion? Many long for the sequel, for the true full-length book.
Why don’t you play later? The most realistic reason is that the actors are physically overwhelmed.
Sichuan Opera “The Legend of the White Snake” focuses on martial arts. Guangjinshan Temple is a pure fighting show that is close to 50%, and there are also many martial arts dramas in the front, which consume a lot of physical strength for the actors. Not to mention that there are large sections of singing. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a person to sing a full field.
Therefore, the Sichuan Opera “Jinshan Temple” is often divided into not only male and female Xiaoqing, but also civil and military white snakes. Of course, there are very few people who can perform the whole scene, but it is also the limit to perform in Jinshan Temple, and it is impossible to continue.
Gao Junxin looked at the version left by his ancestors. The performance time was twice as long, the fighting was more intense, and Xiaoqing had more arias.
“I’m afraid I’m going to die of exhaustion.” Gao Jun sighed.
The actor’s physical fitness is one aspect. The Sichuan drama “The Legend of the White Snake” has no continuation, and Gao Junxin thinks that it has a lot to do with the difficulty of the follow-up plot.
“Golden Mountain Temple” is followed by “Broken Bridge”.
Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing retreated to the Broken Bridge, Xu Xian came to see his wife for the last time, and Xu Shilin was left in the white snake. Fahai led the gods and soldiers to appear and suppressed Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Pagoda. Then directly eighteen years later, Xu Shilin sacrificed to the pagoda. All blanks in between.
“The Legend of the White Snake” originated from folklore, and the legend is also compiled that the White Lady was suppressed in Leifeng Pagoda.
The people who love the big reunion force a lot of good endings to continue. But no one version seems to form absolute authority, and the difference is huge. Moreover, in order to pursue a good ending, some versions have created relatively large bugs.
For example, the role of Fahai is super high in front. The battle between gods and demons was lively, but he was solemn, sitting high on the altar, motionless as a mountain. From time to time, troops were dispatched and generals were dropped, and the treasures of the Buddhist family were dropped again and again. But when it came to “The Legend of the White Snake”, such a great monk was burned to death by Xiaoqing.
The Fahai God Soldier General is no longer in control, and the Buddha Treasure is no longer as powerful as it used to be. Xiaoqing cultivated the true fire of samadhi after 18 years of hard practice, but Fahai was powerless to resist.
Although the big Boss is defeated, the martial arts drama can be compared with Jinshan Temple, and the ending is also happy to see a happy reunion, but I always feel that it is lacking in convincing.
Gao Tianxi, the first half of his ancestor’s version of “The Legend of the White Snake” is basically the same as the traditional version, with some deletions and additions. In the second half, a lot of scenes are added.
In the eighteen years that passed by, the ancestors carefully portrayed and made a natural transition. The problem of reducing the combat power of the big boss has been solved, which is very convincing.
When it was performed that year, this version of “The Legend of the White Snake” received rave reviews.
The dazzling stunts, coupled with the happy reunion, and the natural and reasonable arrangement of the plot, are not only liked by ordinary audiences, but also praised by the critics.
After careful calculation, the “Legend of the White Snake” written by his ancestors is earlier than the traditional classic version that is circulating today, but the drama of Tianxi Ban has disappeared in the world for a long time. Now that it is repeated, others will only come as a new work look at.
Such a subversive adaptation, Gao Junxin is not sure whether it can be accepted by the audience.

“As long as you don’t hype it up and explain who’s version it is, both new and old audiences will have no opinion.” Zheng Yulian said: “We have learned a lesson from the unit next door. It is obviously the newly compiled “Legend of the White Snake”, but the publicity says the most The original traditional repertoire was scolded by old fans after it was staged. There were dozens of posts on the forum, and each post was condemned by thousands of floors. But in fact, the performance of the actors that day was very good. Popular with young people…”
Gao Junxin came to the Sichuan Opera Research Institute today to discuss the list of actors with Zheng Yulian, and she casually expressed her worries.
Zheng Yulian is more optimistic than him: “Of course, the focus of propaganda can be mentioned the high praise of Gao Tianxi’s version in the comments of that year. Don’t worry about these, there are special propaganda responsible.”
If you can fully perform Gao Tianxi’s version of martial arts, those dazzling stunts will be enough to make people applaud.
“Xiao Gao, Wen Wu Bai Snake, Xiao Sheng Xu Xian, Lao Sheng Xu Xian, Xu Shilin, Wang Daoling, Fa Hai, these characters have all been chosen. I’ll take you to meet them?” Zheng Yulian asked.
Once the role is selected, it is necessary to recognize and cultivate tacit understanding as soon as possible.
“Okay!” Gao Jun agreed. Tomorrow he will bring his junior brother and junior sister too.
Zheng Yulian took Gao Junxin from the research institute to the performing arts center slowly, chatting while walking.
“I chose young actors this time, all under the age of 25. This group of students can be said to have just graduated and are the new force of Sichuan Opera House.” Zheng Yulian said: “They don’t have enough stage experience, but they have solid basic skills. .”
The Sichuan Opera stage needs fresh blood. Pushing new people is something Zheng Yulian is very keen on.
She was about to introduce her little actors to Gao Junxin one by one, when Zhou Yuanfu hurried over from a distance. He stopped in front of Zheng Yulian with a Huqin.
“Gao Jun, come here for me!” Zhou Yuanfu said sternly.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” Gao Junxin asked. What is he doing crazy?
“I don’t allow you to get along with her again! The unique skills of Tianxi Class, the heirloom of the Gao family must not be leaked!” Zhou Yuanfu’s eyes widened in anger, and his eyes were red.
Zheng Yulian sighed helplessly, Zhou Yuanfu had been pestering her to prevent this cooperation for the past two days, she was really fed up.
No matter how much saliva she wastes, Zhou Yuanfu maintains a stubborn opinion. But Tianxi Ban is not his, what the **** is he doing!
“Old Zhou, how many times have I told you this. We are definitely not coveting the unique skills of the Gao family.” Zheng Yulian said helplessly. With the current level of technology, what kind of unique skills can’t be solved and can’t be learned?
“I don’t care!” Zhou Yuanfu turned his head to face Gao Junxin, raised Hu Qin and hit someone: “You unfilial son, what your mother left you is so little, why don’t you cherish it!”
“Lao Zhou, put it down!” Zheng Yulian stepped forward to stop her, why did she still beat someone?
Gao Junxin grabbed Zheng Yulian, grabbed Hu Qin with one hand, and protected Zheng Yulian behind him by the way.
“Dad, don’t fool around.” Gao Junxin reminded. His eyes were cold, without the slightest temperature, and his patience with this father had reached the limit.
“I’ll hit you!” Zhou Yuanfu wanted to pull Hu Qin back, but he was not as strong as Gao Jun. He said angrily, “Let me go!”
Gao Jun didn’t let it go, he shook his head, and with a clever effort, he snatched Hu Qin over.
“You bastard! Unfilial son!” Zhou Yuanfu blushed with anger and cursed continuously.
“Mr. Zheng, I’m very sorry for my father’s trouble for you.” Gao Junxin politely apologized: “Don’t worry, I will communicate with him properly.” Gao Junxin was sure.
“Who wants to talk to you, there is no room for negotiation on this matter!” Zhou Yuanfu protested with his feet jumping.
The things that Gao Qingxiu handed down cannot be passed on! Can’t you keep some good things to make money and eat at home? Why is it so easy to give?
spendthrift! Unfilial! Debt collector!
If the court didn’t really care about this, he would have brought Gao Jun to court!
“Dad, let’s go, let’s go home and talk.” Gao Junxin locked Zhou Yuanfu’s arms with both hands, and said this in a tone of coaxing a child.
Zhou Yuanfu was still struggling at first, but when Gao Junxin exerted force on his hands, Zhou Yuanfu almost fainted due to the pain in that moment.
Here we go! The unfilial son has started!
Zhou Yuanfu wanted to fight back and curse, but the pain was so painful that he had no strength.
Gao Junxin’s patience with Zhou Yuanfu has been completely exhausted, and it is necessary for him to let Zhou Yuanfu understand this.
“Mr. Zheng, I’ll take my dad back first.” Gao Junxin said goodbye to Zheng Yulian with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll call you tonight.” Zheng Yulian said.
Gao Junxin led Zhou Yuanfu towards the dormitory.
She looked at Zhou Yuanfu’s back worriedly, and saw how much he was crying and making trouble recently. Couldn’t this person be mentally ill?

I’ll fix the scumbag tomorrow
Ps: In Sichuan Opera, Shuimanjinshan is done by Xiaoqing, and of course Bai Suzhen agreed. I have watched many versions of the follow-up ending of the Legend of the White Snake. Xu Shilin sacrificed to the tower and moved the heavens and Bai Suzhen was released; Xiaoqing sacrificed his life and crashed into Leifeng Pagoda, and then Bai Suzhen’s family of three members; Xiaoqing killed Fahai, a family of four reunited, different. The ending of the drama genre also seems subtly different.
