Seize the opportunity, don't let go

Falling chance, pick up?

During the summer vacation of the first year of my promotion, I received a notice from my teacher that because my sister was going to Beijing to study dulcimer, I was asked to go to a Peking Opera training camp.

why me? How to fight that? How to face these sudden accidents, at that time, for the unknown field, there are thousands of reasons why have been around in my mind.

Try it! How do you know if you don't try!

We have been in the drama school for two years, and we are still focusing on developing our majors. The learning of the Peking theater scene is as compulsory as the piano. The process of class is the same as the ensemble. According to three different parts, each holds a wooden board, Wooden blocks and other aids, practicing timbre, strength, gongs and drums, only during the exam can we touch the broken Qitaikuang; but, in fact, we have never touched Qitaikuang's truly intact musical instruments. , I don't know how to play is correct or good.

In the gong and drum scriptures, each teacher's technique is different. In addition, my own learning brain is not developed, and there is nothing like it. It seems to be playing like that, and it seems to be playing like this, which makes me fall into a black hole of doubt .

In the first two days of the training camp, I, who had no experience in the scene, contacted the teacher in charge and decided to sneak away to practice to understand the situation. Holding a small gong in front of the mirror, I repeatedly practiced the phoneme and the gong and drum scriptures; after all, I was the only one in the whole scene. A newcomer, I don't want to implicate the seniors, sisters, teachers, and actors.

There are three days of rehearsal for the opposite play, one day of performance. Two days before the workshop, I went to the teacher and practiced all the gongs and drums that will appear in the workshop. There must be! If you don't memorize these back, don't play. The most terrifying thing is not the hard memorizing, but the on-the-spot reaction and gestures . If there are eight groups of actors in a day, it is impossible for the same drummer to support the field. At least two to three drummers will take turns. Unfortunately, there is only one group to start, that is the new me, with the freshman But there are two seniors who are three years behind.

During the three-day rehearsal, the whole brain was hung, trying to adapt to keep up with the drummer's footsteps. If I made a mistake, I could not help being hit by the senior's gong and hammer, and the teacher's loud scolding. It was so direct that it made me nervous. On the way home, I was practicing walking, taking the bus, practicing eating, and taking a shower. , I kept reciting the gong and drum scriptures in my mouth, scaring my mother to think that I was chanting some incantation.

It doesn't matter what is written in the bible, but I left a record in my annals

On the last day of the training camp, most of the people who came to the training camp were interested in Peking Opera or were fans. Every performance was very precious to them. Looking at the costumes of each actor, preparing all the musical instruments for the scene, sitting quietly in their own position, calm .

The beginning of the show, the rounding stage ~ entering the stage, the actors walking out, the tense process, the graceful indescribable, fortunately, everything played out normally in a stable state, until the end of the show, the actors made a curtain call, and the actors saluted each other in the scene, until The door was full of people. The teachers and seniors patted me on the shoulder and told me to put things away. You played well, and I remember you .

All the pressure from the past four days suddenly flowed out with tears.

If you want to succeed, you must have a dream

After the school started, he was gradually included in the rehearsal and performance list, and often heard: Hey, he is in the top position again by relationship. For this kind of remarks, I can only secretly say in my heart: Hey~ nothing is easy, and there is no result without effort. Sitting in that position, buttocks like pins and needles, back like fire, can only go to the toilet once a day, that's the price of opportunity.

For me at that time, I didn't know how to explain it, and it was unnecessary. Actions were better than everything . The blood in the back is a river, and I can only take it forward with me. After all, if I have the opportunity , if I want to wear the crown, I must bear the weight.

Fortunately, I caught the first experience, the first stage, the first time I was sober in the world, and the first time I got the official performance gong . This kind of existence has been deeply imprinted in my mind , developed my love for Peking Opera gongs and drums, I like the pleasure it brings to me, I like to bring about technical achievements, I like to make an appearance to the actors' breath, I like to start with the tacit understanding of each other, I like that the major is not the major, and the Peking Opera gongs and drums are my majors. Until now, when I am not in the opera circle, I still hear the sound of the Peking Opera gongs and drums, and I still throb, and I have never forgotten or fallen.
