情探

-
Just watched 情探 this afternoon, borrowed it from a friend at Bedok. :) She just came back from Nanjing and got this there. So before I see the live show at Esplanade in June, I watch the VCD first.

Chen Fei's 行路 is claimed to be 天下第一路. This excerpt is a hard to perform as it requires the actress to sing and do actions with long water sleeves at the same time. Thus not dans acted it well. Since Chen Fei's 行路 is 天下第一路, I must see it~ I liked the tune in that excerpt very nice though very hard to sing!


I am thinking of convertingthe last scene of this show into Gezaixi. The last scene, 情探, where Gui Ying's spirit tested Wang Kui. In the end Wang Kui showed to be heartless and told Gui Ying that she belongs to the brothel, not the Official's home. Guiying then took Wang Kui's life.

I decided to convert this scene because Nick likes to perform a show with lots of actions thus I think this is a good part where he can show some movements. I don't want to do another show that requires fighting because fighting is very hard to do if the performance place is small.


I don't think I will do the Yueju version of this part because Guiying's songs are very difficult to sing. LOL. I don't want to put myself in a difficult position!

Presenting, 天下第一路:

Eh, only the "千里魂飞" part is hard what... hee...

Actually most part of this song is rather mid-pace, should be easy to sing, even the faster-pace sections also not that tedious, I supposed

That previous comment is really left by me.. hee... =P

Actually if you really want to sing this, you can don't choose Chen Fei's version.. you can choose the "classic" version which is performed in regular 对披, easier to manage lor

A very crowded troupe

3 more students joined COI. That officially makes COI GZX troupe a very crowded troupe. In fact, overly crowded. There are 21 students now and including Ang, we will have 22 actresses/actors. Ang is going to have problems squeezing in all the students into 1 show. I don't think there are lots of shows which have 22 roles. Bao Hua and Zhu Ying has joined us for some time so they are not considered newbie already (MD mentioned that they are newbies in his blog). The 3 newbies I am talking about are Wanru, Si Qing and Ai Qing. Si Qing and Ai Qing are not sisters. They just happened to have 'Qing' in their names. I have not taken pictures of Siqing and Aiqing but I will try to take some and blog. I have got a few pics of Wanru but I will blog another day. As usual, Ang did her usual rounds of asking whether the newbies want to be dan or be shengs. Frankly speaking, both roles are overly crowded already. Competition is getting strong but still, we are still harmoniously getting ...

Yesterday we had a performance at Holland Road Blk 2. I was doing the excerpt 'Broken Bridge' of Madam white snake and the others were doing Tang Bo Hu. I couldn't find a Xu Xian (YH dun like this role) so I got no choice but to ask Naiba for help. Heng he was free that day to help us. Kanglong found a very nice spot to take photos and everyone took photos at that spot.... I think this spot is nice too with the pillar behind and the flowers and the white background... Me and Naiba... Hmm, too bad his face kana hidden in shadow lor. Susan as green snake. I didn't realise that she was wearing the costume wrongly lor.. haiz, too late to inform her liao...

N+1

I was browsing the internet looking at opera related videos when I came across a song 'N+1' sang by Chris Lee. Man, I was surprised by the opera elements in the song! She combined hip hop and chinese opera (like Jay and Lee Hom) and the MTV is quite nice. It's like abit of hip hop dance and some chinese opera. Chris Lee even dressed up in opera 'wu dan' costume! Hee hee, but she looked a bit weird. Her actions are good but looks wise, weird. Ok, the MTV. I should learn to sing this song. Lol...
