Sichuan Opera is one of the traditional operas of Han nationality, which is popular in eastern and central Sichuan, Chongqing and parts of Guizhou and Yunnan. Sichuan Opera facial makeup is an important part of Sichuan Opera performing arts, and it is a treasure of Han folk art created and passed down by Sichuan Opera artists in past dynasties.
Changing face is a stunt used in shaping characters in Sichuan Opera. Revealing the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters in the play is a romantic technique. Face-changing originally refers to the emotional makeup in China traditional operas, and later refers to a stunt that changes facial makeup many times in an instant.
There are many kinds and methods of changing faces in Sichuan Opera. To sum up, there are eight kinds: rubbing, rubbing, blowing, painting, wearing, holding back and pulling. In terms of "wiping", there are one-handed wiping and two-handed wiping; One hand, one finger, two fingers, three fingers, and so on.
Wipe is "wipe your eyes". Xiao Fang killed Xiao Fang, the water thief in the boat. I heard that the boat had reached the ruthless crossing and the plot to kill the husband and wife was completed. Shouted: "gold is of great use!" " If the windmill turns around, a Hei Bang (called a "wooden stick") crosses its eyes; "You can't live!" Lost his hat, flying shirt, knife, and went straight to the back cabin. What does Xiao Fang want? The audience has clearly seen the series of performances of Wipe Eyes.
Rub your face-use the original heavy eyebrows, black eyes, foundation and oily face on your character's face and rub it with your hands.
Ma Bai and Qing Er fought fiercely for Xu Xian in Jinshan, but lost the bridge. I was ordered to meet my wife at Broken Bridge for nothing. Xiaoqing (played by a Sichuan opera actor) with a burning heart heard Xu's call. He flew into a rage and shouted, "... wait, the handmaiden will pick you up!" " Jumping with both feet, I immediately turned around-the handsome face suddenly turned red. B. Catch up and grab Xu, but I use the golden cicada to get out of the shell and glare at Xu. It is also a mistake to write "blue shirt" often. Yi shirt, eyes wide with anger, then hands folded ... his face turned from red to black;
Bai hurriedly rushed up to protect and repel Xiaoqing. Angry to return, but was stopped by his master, green more angry-black face melting gold. Xu Xian, who is "chasing three times and catching three times" in Qing Er, changed his face three times, which not only showed Qing Er's masculinity, but also highlighted Qing Er's strong character, and enriched the unique Sichuan opera Broken Bridge with a "mala Tang" style.
Blowing "Qingzhou Grave" (also known as "Li Cunxiao's apparition"): In March in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Li Keyong, king of Jin, visited the grave for his adopted son Li Cunxiao. When he arrived at Shuikou, Wang learned that soldiers surrounded Qingzhou grave and came after Li Keyong. Saving filial piety leads the Yin soldiers to rescue the driver-relying on Jia to pretend to be an insider of the Thirteen Pacific Insurance. When he saw that the defeated Yan Zhang had violated the oath to the Tang Dynasty and wanted to hurt his adoptive father, he turned around, his head turned golden, Tang Yin became red, and "fast-flushers" scared the daylights out of Yan Zhang. The actor who plays the role of filial piety changed his appearance by blowing air through his mouth, which enhanced the dramatic atmosphere on the stage and showed Li Cunxiao's heroism. All the gold is on the face, and the original "red sky" remains, which also shows the superb "blowing" skills of the actors.
Painting is painting changes. Actors use pens and paints as tools to change their faces.
Dai's "Capture alive": The scholar started an incident and eventually abandoned it, causing two women to hang themselves. One night, two female ghosts went to the study to kill Wang Huai. Two teachers who were teaching homework went to Wang's study. When Wang was unconscious, they woke up and questioned him. Wang Huai, who was in a coma, saw the arrival of the Second Division, and her voice was abnormal-her voice was shrill and delicate, and her pink-faced husband became a pink lady-he "wore" a woman with a thin mask, eyebrows and cherry mouth-and "wore" a female voice played by Vincent, whose horns and fingers were particularly inclined to conform to the plot. Imagine how the second teacher would record the "confession" of Wang Huai's negative behavior if he didn't talk to himself about the past.
Its artistic appeal is also greatly weakened, and the role of punishing this ungrateful person will not be so strong.
The family of Li Yangui, the son of Shang Shu, was suddenly changed by the Ministry of War. His father was imprisoned and the whole family raided. Yan Gui boarded his mother and sister-in-law in the ancient temple; Yan Gui asked Shangshu (the father of his fiancee) for help and was humiliated by Huang's breach of contract. In desperation, they make a living by selling water ... Where did the official children work as coolies? When he tried his best to suck milk and barely picked up a bucket filled with dozens of pounds of water, the gentle, delicate and handsome white-faced scholar became a "red-faced Guan Gong"-the director mobilized his "hold back" to change his face and perfectly handled a trivial detail in Selling Water: Selling Water Scholar. There is no need to use lines such as "bitter", which also reflects the tragic situation of this poor scholar.
Pulling face is the most technical and difficult method in changing face.
Bei Rong, a hero of Dongting, is a chivalrous man who helps the poor. Rob Huanggang official silver angered the official official, painted a shadow to capture it, and Bei Rong changed his face and saved the day-all the plots about Bei Rong were returned to the political building. The director grasped the details of the official painting to catch the righteous thief, and used the "shifting capacity" to let Bei Rong slip away from your official's eyes.
"Changing face" provides the actor who plays Bei Rong with skills, and also provides the audience with an opportunity to appreciate this stunt. In the old "three days" and "three days" off-season, the troupe could be packed as long as it hung "Gui Zheng Lou" and performed "Nine Changes", which shows the artistic charm of this "face-changing" stunt, and only in this play can it face-changing.
