Chapter 200
The gong sounded lightly, the door curtain was lifted, Lin Mu, who played Qiao Xuan, coughed, and walked out!
When the fans saw Lin Mu’s appearance, they were immediately excited!
"Hurrah!"
"This look is so handsome!"
"Good Qiao Xuan!"
"what--"
Lin Mu was wearing a fragrant robe embroidered with dragons and a sable robe embroidered with dragons on his head. He had a full white beard that spread out over his chest.
In fact, the colors of Peking Opera costumes are very particular and clearly divided into levels.
The colors of costumes are roughly divided into "upper five colors" and "lower five colors".
The five colors are red, yellow, green, white and black. Generally speaking, the protagonists wear costumes of these colors.
Red is the first of the five colors, symbolizing noble status. It is suitable for royal relatives or important officials in the court, such as kings, prime ministers, marshals, and prefects.
Yellow is the color of emperors, and basically only emperors can wear it.
Green is used for military commanders with brave personalities, such as Guan Yu.
White is used for handsome young generals, such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu, etc.
Black is mostly used for civil and military officials in the Hualian profession, such as Bao Gong, Xiang Yu, etc.
The lower five colors are purple, blue, pink, lake, bronze, and some mixed colors, all of which are called the lower five colors.
For example, the color that Lin Mu is wearing now is a color between yellow and green. This color gives people a stable and attractive feeling.
This color is generally the color of court robes worn by elderly civil officials of higher status, and it represents maturity and steadiness.
In addition to Qiao Xuan, Xu Ce in "Xu Ce Runs Away from the City" also often wears this color.
Originally, Lin Mu was still quite young, and was not so comfortable with playing a role like Qiao Xuan!
Because in everyone's hearts, Lin Mu's youthful handsomeness has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it always feels a bit out of place to let him play such a mature and steady role!
However, after putting on this costume, that youthful feeling disappeared, replaced by a sense of calmness.
Especially Lin Mu's eyes, which were no longer frivolous and presumptuous, but became very calm and composed. He slowly scanned the fans in the audience, giving people a feeling of awe-inspiring power without even being angry!
Hu Bilan on the second floor also watched with shining eyes, what a stable stage presence!
Lin Mu didn't utter a single word for three minutes after he appeared on the stage. His aura alone captivated all the audience!
It really was as if an old man in a high position of power appeared in front of everyone. The aura of a man who had been in a superior position for a long time made everyone dare not speak!
"As the elder of the country, I protect Dongwu and attach great importance to diplomatic relations—"
After sitting down, Lin Mu began to recite an introduction. The last part of the song was so moving that it drew thunderous applause from the audience again!
When a character appears on stage, he or she often has to read an "introduction" to express his or her own experience, the environment he or she is in at the time, and introduce himself or herself.
There are roughly three types of introductions.
The first type of introduction is the tunes such as "Dian Jiang Chun" and "Fendie'er" that are often sung when military generals appear on the stage.
The second type of introduction is the one that is read first and then sung when the main character first appears, such as Qiao Xuan's introduction.
The third type of introduction is the poem or couplet recited by the secondary or main character when he or she returns to the stage.
Of course, these are not absolute, but most characters are like this.
The most difficult one is the second one, which is to recite first and then sing.
The first sentence is rhymed and the second sentence is chanted without accompaniment. Whether it is the recitation in the front or the singing in the back, it all depends on the actor's own skills.
There is a saying that “it is difficult to get the lead in an opera”.
The quality of an introduction will directly affect the fans' confidence in the actor.
It can be said that if you don’t sing the introduction well at the beginning, the fans will have a bad first impression of you, and it will take more effort to make up for it later!
There is no doubt about Lin Mu’s strength. His lines in the beginning were clear and melodious, and his singing in the latter part blew up the whole audience!
