Beyond the Limelight with Sterling Qi Chapter 7

After Liu Quanhai returned that day, he called the Meng family the next day, wanting to tell Mr. Meng that he had discovered the heir to Zi Di Shu. After all, he was also very concerned about the inheritance of folk art culture, not just cross talk.

Mr. Meng, who is over 90 years old, is the most senior person in the cross talk industry today. It can be said that he has witnessed the rise and fall of cross talk. From the days of performing arts on the ground, to being able to enter teahouses and open cross talk gardens alone, and then later on, there were radio cross talk, TV cross talk, and even now it is gradually declining.

The children and grandchildren three or four generations below him are also cross talkers, and there are even more disciples and disciples. A true cross talk family is full of talents all over the world.

The person who answered the phone was Mr. Meng's grandson, Meng Jingyuan, who is also a cross talk actor. He has been a partner with Liu Quanhai's apprentice Zeng Wen for more than 20 years. They have a close relationship and are naturally familiar with Liu Quanhai.

"Jingyuan, is the old man awake?" Liu Quanhai couldn't hide his excitement, "I had an unexpected encounter yesterday. I met a child who could sing children's books. He was a two-door boy. He was also from our cross talk school. The typhoon was still Some look like an old man, very stable."

Meng Jingyuan was surprised at first, "Real or fake? Where did this young man learn this?"

Liu Quanhai recounted what happened last night and fully showed his appreciation, "Although he is a Haiqing (without a teacher), it is really rare! I want to take him to meet the old man and let him taste it. His disciple How the book sings!"

Meng Jingyuan sighed and said, "I just wanted to tell you that my grandfather has been ill recently and cannot get out of bed. He is currently resting and cannot see guests."

Liu Quanhai's smile suddenly faded. At this age, he had suffered hardships in his youth, and it was inevitable to get sick in old age. He had no choice but to convey his greetings and hope that the old man would take care of his health.

Meng Jingyuan asked Sterling Qi again. He was also quite curious about this person's experience. Hearing that Liu Quanhai would take people to the cross talk garden run by his apprentice, he asked about the date and decided to go and meet him.

Turning around, Meng Jingyuan visited the old man. Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, he softly talked about this person.

Mr. Meng's expression perked up, "Then you have to find someone to protect the children's book. This is a precious traditional folk art. Many drum songs originated from here."

"I can do it, grandpa." Meng Jing realized that grandpa was out of breath after talking too much, so she hurriedly calmed him down.

Mr. Meng was lying on the bed, half asleep and half awake, and returned to a distant time.

Zi Di Shu, my senior brother can also sing Zi Di Shu, wiping his face while practicing his singing. But since we got separated, we never saw each other again. It was not until many years later that I learned that my senior brother had passed away. Therefore, he thought that the final inheritance of Zi Dishu was buried with him...

So good, it turns out that Zi Di Shu is still alive.

.

Sterling Qi is not completely idle in his apartment. He doesn't know how to surf the Internet yet, but watching TV and reading newspapers is also absorbing the knowledge of the new time and space.

Liu Quanhai asked him out, and Marlow Li went with him.

At first Marlow Li was shocked that Vivian Xia actually supported Sterling Qi's cross talk, but later he understood and even began to think that in this case, Jesse's reputation could be completely wiped out.

Liu Quanhai's apprentice is named Zeng Wen. His cross talk garden is not a teahouse style, but a theater style, where tickets are sold and there are performances every night.

Although he and Meng Jingyuan have been famous for a long time, they still perform from time to time. Due to their fame, not to mention their popularity, they can still make ends meet and pay the actors wages.

It was in the afternoon when Sterling Qi and Marlow Li arrived. Before the performance, Zeng Wen and Meng Jingyuan were explaining the work to their apprentices, and Liu Quanhai and them also arrived shortly after.

The old men and Sterling Qi went to the corner to talk. Zeng Wen and Meng Jingyuan were too curious about this young man. According to Liu Quanhai, his stand-up comedy skills were completely like those of a mature artist. Could it be that he was also honed overseas? ?

Liu Quanhai's grandson, Xiao Liu, also came with him. He didn't go over, but was surrounded by other actors in the garden. Most of them were young actors of similar age to him, whom he knew well.

"What, isn't that that person? That person at Pineapple Terrace, his mother is Vivian Xia. Why are you here?"

"Didn't Xiaoliu share that this guy sings the drum? It's so funny."

"Didn't you read the news on the Internet? I suspect he came to Master to buy jokes!"

"That's nonsense. Then what is Master Liu doing here?"

Not everyone watches every news on the Internet all the time. Now they don’t know what’s going on. Xiao Liu is the only one who knows the inside story. He used to laugh with others at Sterling Qi’s singing, but now his face is red, “Okay. Okay, stop talking. What do you know? He is very powerful."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, thinking that Xiao Liu was joking.

Xiaoliu: ...

"Quiet, you little B@st@ards!" Zeng Wen shouted at the other end, "Bring me a string!"

Immediately, someone took a sanxian and wanted to hand it to Zeng Wen, but saw Sterling Qi taking the sanxian. It turned out that he wanted to play it. People who have never heard Sterling Qi play Xianzi will inevitably be a little weird.

...

Sterling Qi just introduced Zidi Shu's singing tunes to Zeng Wen and others, such as Sparrow Tail, Phoenix Three Nods, Haidilaoyue, etc. There are many gorgeous singing tunes in Zi Di Shu, and there are hundreds of them just from what he inherited. So many.

The poem is mainly composed of seven words, and uses three strings as accompaniment, so it is also called Qingyin Zidi Shu.

"This is a one-part short story called "Lingguan Temple"." Sterling Qi explained briefly.

The disciple's book should be as short as one chapter, or as long as more than thirty chapters. Not all of them were sung, and a few were spoken in plain language. However, after they were lost, descendants did not know where to sing or read in the surviving texts.

They waded across the river together and plucked the strings, and recited the previous poem: "Which is an enemy, which is a favor? The Three Lives Stone notes the cause and effect. It is all because of the romantic debt owed to that person that it arouses pity and cherish the jade heart. The Buddha's land is transformed into a place of singing and dancing, and the Buddhism is transformed into a place of right and wrong. Door."

Entering the aria again, "It is just as the Zhongyuan Dynasty has passed and it is neither cold nor warm. Guangzhen's sister-in-law of Lingguan Temple is serving wine to celebrate her birthday. She specially invites the dignitaries in the court and the lady who has been making trouble for a long time. There are also relatives and feudal lords. Guo Tongxiu is called Pinghan, and there are also people who were scholarly and wealthy in the official era, and there are also people who served in Guangzhou Yamen..."

When sung word by word, it is quite like a Beijing-style drum, but it is definitely not a drum book. The tune is more elegant and free.

The actors who were holding their breath and watching nearby were all confused. They could misunderstand "Why Need the West Chamber" as a drum song? That's because there is the same drum song, but this "Lingguan Temple" drum song is not in it, which is unheard of. .

Moreover, when I heard him play and sing in person, he played the strings very well and matched the arias. When I listened to it like this, why did it seem less like it was out of tune?

Someone had a vague idea. Could it be that this person didn't sing the drum at all?

Sterling Qi over there had already finished singing a piece, and he didn't know what he said to their master. He put down the string instrument and sang a cappella version of the Jingyun Dagu version of "Why Need the West Chamber".

Among all the drums today, the one most similar to Zi Di Shu is the Jingyun drum. In terms of beat and rhythm, Jingyun Dagu can be said to be the "direct descendant" of Zi Di Shu.

In addition, Beijing Yun Dagu also draws on opera singing and Beijing opera performances.

At the end of the sentence, Sterling Qi used the classic singing tune of Jingyun Dagu, starting from the bass to high, then going down, and finally ending on the main note. The wide range of the sound, the precise control of the voice, and the charm of Jingyun Dagu, can be Talk about revealing everything!

If you take a closer look, you will find that this is not only singing, but also learning to sing, and the learning is very similar to Master Mu, a famous Beijing drum master.

The same theme, Zi Di Shu and Jing Yun Dagu versions, have now been sung by Sterling Qi. As long as you listen to Sterling Qi singing Beijing-style drums, you will never doubt that his disciples' books are out of tune.

A group of alpacas suddenly flew past the actors.

"Fcuk!"

"...Does this person grow up eating drums??"

"Who, who said he came with a vase?!"

If this was a vase, they might as well find a crack to get in!

As cross talk actors, they have learned various folk arts to some extent, especially the drum, which has spread far and wide. Now it is absolutely certain that Sterling Qi was definitely not out of tune before! This big drum of the Mu sect has an incredible taste!

---When they found out that what Sterling Qi was singing was actually a disciple's book, they not only found a crack to get in, they really wanted to crash to death on the stage.

...

Sterling Qi has a good foundation in Peking Opera and is also good at disciple calligraphy. He can get twice the result with half the effort by learning many drum music, especially Beijing-style drums. And he will never mix things up, and he will learn whatever he learns. After learning the Jingyun drum, they were given imitations of plum blossom drum, Jingdong drum, Qinshu, etc.

Sterling Qi was exchanging his cross talk skills with Zeng and Meng. Unlike singing with disciples, as a cross talk actor, the focus is on imitation. He chose famous artists from all walks of life to imitate them very vividly.

Since he started studying cross talk, Sterling Qi has been praised by his master after he became a teacher. Later, the world was in chaos and his family was ruined. He had no fixed partner for a long time. He was a "one-armed man" and switched performances with different people. Dou, you can learn to talk or sing, you can do anything. If there is no partner, you can do stand-up by yourself.

It was those difficult days that developed the ability to cross the river.

In the eyes of Meng Jingyuan and the others, they had another thought. They felt that Sterling Qi was worthy of learning cross talk from an "overseas heritage". His propriety and habits were very similar to those of an old gentleman, which was completely different from his young and good-looking appearance. different.

In this moment, they didn't know how many times they shouted "ok".

The more Meng Jingyuan saw Sterling Qi, the more he liked him. As Liu Quanhai said, he also felt that Sterling Qi Typhoon was a bit like his grandfather, which made him even more fond of him.

Zeng Wen said: "If you hadn't come here with your agent, I would have really wanted to invite you to join my garden! Jesse, I have a heartfelt request. I want to find some people to learn this discipleship from you. Pass it on!"

He followed his master Liu Quanhai and called Sterling Qi "Jesse".

Sterling Qi nodded repeatedly. He had long wanted to accept a disciple, but he was unable to do so at that time. Zeng Wen is a local snake. He has been in the folk art industry in this time and space for many years. If he can help recruit people, that would be the best thing.

Meng Jingyuan also echoed: "Jesse's matter must be reported to the Folk Artists Association. From now on, we can say that the book has been passed down to our children!"

Mr. Meng also served as the chairman of the Music Association before, and the current chairman is an old drum artist.

Zeng Wen joked: "Then if the Music Association decides to set up a children's calligraphy art committee, wouldn't Jesse be the only committee member?"

Speaking of this, Zeng Wen and Meng Jingyuan looked at each other and thought of a question.

There are many committees under the Music Association, including the cross talk committee. As a disciple, it is easy to talk to people, but the cross talk sect is very particular about the sect. Sterling Qi's teacher is unknown, so he may not be able to get in...

Although Marlow Li doesn't understand folk music, he can understand the cheers. Zeng Wen happened to mention him, and he immediately joined the conversation: "Teacher Zeng, although Jesse...cough, Jesse can't join, But we can still cooperate in various forms. I think you all recognize Jesse’s ability? "

Marlow Li's words disrupted the thoughts of Zeng Wen and Meng Jingyuan, and they seemed to have something unintentional.

Zeng Wen thought about his words, his heart moved, and asked: "What do you mean...?"

Marlow Li smiled and said, "That is to say, I hope all the teachers can give Jesse some guidance."

...

...

Since the show on Pineapple Media ended and Sterling Qi's identity was exposed, Pineapple has indeed asked the newcomers to form an artist group. As rumored, Sterling Qi was not selected.

While his colleagues were all starting to work as a group, Sterling Qi attended his mother's concert, said some lines that were probably written by the gunman, or performed privately in a teahouse. At most, he posted new photos, but... I haven't participated in any new programs.

This can make fans and people who eat melons very anxious, calling Sterling Qi's new action: Please show your face quickly!

No matter what route you take, whether it's singing, acting or continuing to appear in variety shows, you should work quickly. Wouldn't it be a pity to stay at home all day and no one can see your face? Do you still want to be an idol?

Even if it is a vase, it must be like her biological mother Vivian Xia and show up more professionally to be a qualified vase.

At this time, Pineapple TV Station, a subsidiary of Pineapple Media, began to release the program list of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala for the past few days, and Sterling Qi's name was among them.

But if you take a closer look, the entire program looks like this:
