Chapter 250: Formal Learning of Puppetry
() Master Liu smiled, looking at Tang Xiaohan's eyes with a little more appreciation. Most of the people in this village have never read any books, but Tang Xiaohan's tone obviously knows Sun Wukong very well, and he has obviously read the book Journey to the West.
"That's right, the characters in this box are some of the characters in Journey to the West. Master Liu said, and took out Zhu Bajie from the box again.
Tang Xiaohan saw that Zhu Bajie made of puppets had a unique flavor.
"It's basic to remember these puppets, and then it's all about understanding how these puppets work. Master Liu explained the puppet, as if he was still a young and strong man, his eyebrows flew and he danced passionately, which made Tang Xiaohan and Yang Tianfan fall into it.
"There are many kinds of puppets, and these will be told to you slowly, and the most important thing now is to let you learn the most basic puppet operation, the stick puppet. ”
Yang Tianfan has been studying with Master Liu for a period of time, and has already followed Master Liu to perform in several places. For stick puppets, Yang Tianfan has already mastered them, and now it is mainly Tang Xiaohan.
Tang Xiaohan said with great interest, "Okay, master, I will definitely study hard." ”
Tang Xiaohan's answer made the smile on Master Liu's face even brighter.
Master Liu chose Tang Seng from the box and handed it to Tang Xiaohan, put away his smile and said, "Then today you will learn to operate this Tang Seng." ”
Tang Xiaohan looked at the puppet's head and both hands were connected to a joystick, so he took a lever in one hand and took action.
It's just that he just moved a few times, and before Tang Xiaohan could taste the sweetness, he was severely stopped by Master Liu, "It's wrong, it's wrong to take the head lever in your left hand, and you can use the two-handed lever in your right hand." ”
Tang Xiaohan was shocked and immediately replaced the operating levers of both hands, and turned around and stuck out his tongue at Yang Tianfan, his playful appearance made the serious teaching time a little more fun.
"Do you know why you want to change it back?" Master Liu began to ask.
Yang Tianfan took the first step to answer, "Because the head operating rod is the main rod, there is only one part of the head, and the two-handed operating lever is the side rod, which is responsible for the movement of both hands, and the right hand is more convenient and flexible." ”
Yang Tianfan's answer made Master Liu greatly praised, and the expression on his face also revealed a hint of relief, "The son can be taught." ”
Only then did Tang Xiaohan understand the reason, so he continued to train with Master Liu.
"Now that you know how to hold the pole, let's learn every expression, every movement, the form of the puppeteer, and you can experiment with it yourself. ”
Although Tang Xiaohan likes puppets, he doesn't know anything about them, so he follows his feelings.
Master Liu casually asked a question, "Happy action." ”
Tang Xiaohan glanced at Yang Tianfan and found that his hand movements were very skillful and very coordinated. But his puppet is like a madman dancing with his hands and his body extremely uncoordinated.
"The use of this hand is very important, I'll show you it......" Master Liu took out a puppet and began to teach Tang Xiaohan carefully.
After a long few hours of study, Tang Xiaohan could finally use the puppet's operating lever to make a few simple movements.
These few hours of study also let Tang Xiaohan know that this puppet show is not something you have to learn if you want to, it also requires sweat and hard work, and it can only reach an appreciative level after hundreds of thousands of trainings.
