Psychological Control - Chapter 86

“The detour task has two options, modern and traditional. Hyundai is talking about the leader of Japanese pop j-pop, Jennis Office. Jenness Office is mainly to train outstanding male artists and male idol groups. And the Japanese entertainment industry is a big snake. “After opening the clue card, I read it word by word.

“In addition to the achievements of the j-pop record industry, concerts, and film and television dramas, the artists of the j family are particularly good at many stage stunts, especially in the artistic performance situation of stage dramas. Participants need to go to the Empire Theatre and coach “With the help of a stage show showing the flight of Viagra.”

People come and go under the Tokyo Tower, and there are many tourists. But among the crowd, Dillon and I stood out because of their height. Not to mention that there is a huge camera to follow. So while we were looking at the clue card, people passing by were very curious watching us and pointing here.

“Tradition refers to the typical Japanese national performing arts and Kabuki performances. Kabuki is characterized by exquisite scenery, complicated stage organs, actor costumes and makeup are gorgeous, and the actors are all male.” I paused here, then watched To Dillon.

It seems that the detour missions this time are related to things like art. If I say that this is nothing to me, a person who has mixed up with a commercial dance troupe before, I can get started. But it is too difficult for big masters like Dillon who are five big and three rough.

But when I saw him seeing Dillon, he didn’t immediately realize the problem. Instead, he asked in wonder: “Kabuki? Isn’t that all women’s work? Why is it called a man?”

“The one who is a woman is a geisha …” I looked at Dillon a little bit. “The book of world folk culture I lost to you before the game, I must haven’t read it?” close.

“Although they look similar, they are two completely different things. In the traditional option, participants must go to Kabukicho, Shinjuku, find the oldest Kabuki Theater, and complete it under the guidance of the master there. A kabuki show. “

After reading all the information given on the clues, I looked up at Dillon and asked, “Which one to choose? I suggest choosing Kabuki, although I may need to speak some very verbal Japanese lines, but at least I do n’t need to dance modern dance. If we go to the Empire Theatre and find that we still want to dance, we will waste too much time. “

The reason why I say this is also because of the fact that Dillon has already sat down with me before and he is a dancing idiot. The limbs, which are very sensitive and powerful during Sanda capture, are dancing as if they were short-circuited robots. And if he teaches him mechanical dance instead, it will become even more terrible into a moving wooden board …

I had taught him to dance before participating in the speeding. Because I know that the program that goes through the countries at a fast speed, and then quotes the local folk culture of each country as the checkpoint task, it is always necessary to meet the situation of dancing. So, what I did was first let Dillon have a conceptual idea of ​​dancing.

The final result tells me to stop delusion. If you can skip the task of dancing, skip it. People who are born to dance idiots are just like idiots and cannot be saved.

Dillon listened to me and apparently knew what I meant secretly. He nodded solemnly, and said seriously: “Listen to you, anyway, what is the line to memorize the lines, just memorize those syllables.”

“Then we will choose to go to Kabukicho, Shinjuku.” I said with a clue card facing the camera. “The show crew should not be so difficult for us. Let us thoroughly understand the national culture of others. It should only be a fur It will pass. I remember that Kabuki performances are mostly slow. In the shallowest terms, it should not be more difficult than modern dance. “

After deciding to choose Kabuki, we returned to the subway station and started crowding the subway to Shinjuku Kabukicho. Perhaps it was because of the battles during the peak hours of work that had already been experienced before, so it was regarded as a veteran warrior. So this time, we did not waste much time.

Standing in front of the Kabuki Seat where we are about to complete our mission, which is the oldest Kabuki Theater. Dillon and I watched the amazement of the locals passing by and calmed down and walked in.

Walking into the backstage practice room, he opened the door and saw a group of men at a glance. Dressed like a bathrobe, the Japanese call it a yukata, more like a simple men’s kimono.

The practice room is like a very ordinary dance practice room, with a large wall of floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and most people stand around and watch the performance of two people in the central open space. One is holding a small and delicate thing that looks like a wooden barrel, and the other is a big bowl of the kind that Japanese people usually use for ramen.

Both performers were men, but they simply sat on the wooden floor in the center and performed with two extremely simple props. But I can easily tell from their every move that they are performing the plot. The man holding the small wooden barrel should be a woman, and a wooden barrel that can be held by the palm of the hand is not filled with water but wine.

Women advise men. After another, it seemed to be drunk. Looking straight at the man’s gaze was obviously seduce. But sometimes when looking back to avoid the other’s eyes, the bottom of his eyes reveals that he actually planned otherwise.

So people always say that, if most Westerners’ acting skills are out of the box. Orientals’ acting skills are focused on the eyes. A smile between the eyebrows can express a full character.

From the beginning, the man remained motionless, and gradually he became so drunk when he sat down. And from his eyes, we can see that the woman who advised him to drink was obviously a peerless beauty. The identity of a man is at least one person above ten thousand people, judging from his arrogance when he uttered lines like singing.

After standing in the practice room, we stood for a few minutes before we finished the scene. No one spoke during this period, they just watched the performance of the two Kabuki in the center seriously. The room was terribly quiet, so Dillon and I didn’t immediately act lightly.

Until the end of the performance, the two Kabuki performers stood up from the ground, and the man who performed his daughter’s posture perfectly and without strange sissy also restored the male posture. A middle-aged man who stood facing the two of them stepped towards us.

Obviously, he is the person we are looking for. I heard that he is a famous Kabuki master, and even a longtime Kabuki family. Also the head of this Kabuki theater. As soon as he walked in front of us, he bowed in an orderly manner, and Japanese traditional etiquette was meticulous. Bowing sincerely, but not humblely, looks like everyone.

But in my opinion, this is a little intentional to frighten foreigners. If it weren’t for me and Dillon, it would be expected that the participants who came over saw this posture, especially after being hung there for a few minutes, and it was estimated that they would greet such a greeting, and would hurriedly return a bow, and then they would be incoherent .

But Dillon is obviously the one who cares what you do, I only listen to the orders of superiors. Before we were hung up to watch the performance, I was told not to act lightly. So he stood upright like pine and cypress at this time, not moving at all. And I am the one who will not be scared by such a small battle.

So under my leadership, Dillon and I also imitated him slowly and bowed back slowly, and said in English, “I’m glad to see you. I don’t know if you are the one. In the task Ask us to find and learn a master of kabuki performances, and finally finish them on the official stage? “

I speak at a completely daily rate, without slowing down to take care of the other person. Since the other side is asking you to coax him, we don’t need to lower our posture too much, right? Because respect is mutual, you want others to respect your traditional art, but at the same time, it is also equivalent to respect each other.

Even if you are practicing, you are not allowed to disturb. But is it really that difficult to get someone to come and explain the situation? It doesn’t seem to me, this is just the most basic way of hospitality. Of course, I wouldn’t be so negligent, it would obviously be offensive to teach our masters. That’s why I use language incomprehensible and play tricks. Etiquette is all right.

Sure enough, because of my speaking speed, the other party hesitated for a moment, then turned around and informed a young guy in the crowd over there to translate. This guy with his eyebrows trimmed and looking at a particularly feminine face is the Kabuki actor who performed the female role just now.

Because it was a profile just now, I can’t see the other person’s face clearly. Now that I see it, I know why he played this female role. It is estimated that such a clear eyebrow, after wearing heavy makeup, is almost a real woman who can be faked.

I do n’t know if it ’s pure Oriental men who tend to grow too handsome, or that Asian women prefer this white-faced naughty type of boy than the masculine and handsome man. At least the Asians I saw when I was in the United States didn’t feel that way.

This seat chief, a middle-aged man we referred to as the master, understood the words we repeated once by the other party’s translator, and then he said, “Yes, two gentlemen. But I have a little bit before that. I want to ask, what did you see in the performance just now? “

The inexplicable Kabuki who was a two-legged translator translated the meaning of the words in the seat of the captain, and took us to the practice room where he stood before. “The section we were practicing just now is exactly the segment you want to complete today. So I think the master wants to know, after watching the performance on the spot, can you understand what the story is saying through our performance? I think about it later. “

It is not difficult to understand the question after watching a performance. So I told what I thought was the plot according to the previous understanding. 2k novel reading network
