The master had a bit of kindness and seriousness on his face and said calmly: "Of course, it is still undesirable to make a temporary revision, so the "First Meeting in West Lake" just now only sang a short section. After Teacher Zhao sang it, we will finish "Broken Bridge", but we will use the original puppet back."

"Why should I use the original puppet? Isn't this puppet quite good?"

The master smiled and placed the new puppet with his original puppet: "Please see, if Xu Xian appears like this, can you accept it?"

Under the light, the beautiful Bai Suzhen was covered with fairy spirit. Even if she just stood quietly like this, she felt like she could fly up in the air in the next second.

The Xu Xian puppet next to him was not popular at all. It was a puppet, which was the kind of puppet they often had, with red faces and eyes. I used to seeing it in the past and didn't feel it. Compared with Bai Suzhen at this time, I couldn't imagine the scene of them hugging each other.

Seeing their expressions, the master shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So it's not that I'm not serious, but... I can't do anything about it."

He really couldn't bear to let him give up his new puppet, but it wouldn't work for the two puppets to perform on the same stage, because the difference is too far and it's too out of the play.

Because he had to change the song temporarily, Bai Suzhen sang a whole play alone.

After learning about the incident, everyone in the audience whispered, and someone suddenly shouted: "Then sing it again! I didn't read enough just now!"

"Yes! Do it again! Don't want Xu Xian!"

I had been so confused about doubts before, but when I recalled it, I found that it was indeed different from the puppet show I watched on weekdays. The puppet's eyebrows and eyes were moving, not as rigid as ordinary puppets. They all had their own charm with their hands and feet.

The master hesitated a little: "But our original song was "Broken Bridge"..."

"Oh, master, we have to learn to adapt. If you get a new puppet, you must come out and make a debut."

"That's right, why don't you do something? It's so boring to make Bai Suzhen. Then make Xiaoqing come out and act in "Two Snake Fighting"!"

"The Double Snake Fighting" is not good, I'll watch "The Water Floods of Kingsoft"!"

They argued endlessly, and Shen Mange whispered: "Brother Zi'an, what is "Two Snake Fighting"? Xiaoqing and Bai Snake fought?"

"Uh...yes, not." Lu Zian leaned over and explained: "This is the playbook of Peking Opera. Bai Suzhen is Wu Dan. The front of the green snake is Jing and the back is Wu Dan. It means that Bai Suzhen practiced in Mount Emei, missed the mortal world, so she went down the mountain. After passing Qingfeng Mountain, she met the green snake. The green snake was originally a hero, and wanted to marry Bai Suzhen, but Bai Suzhen refused. The two fought. The green snake was defeated and turned into a female body. The two became sisters and walked together. There were many scenes, among which the two snakes were the most popular, so they named "Two Snake Fighting".

Shen Mange thought: "So that's what it is..."

At this time, the master and the others had already compromised to take the best solution, which was to complete the "Broken Bridge" after Teacher Zhao finished performing, but Xu Xian appeared in a long-term viewing, which did not affect the overall viewing.

After they retreated, Zhao Yang quickly appeared.

There is no opening remark, but there is a burst of intense and majestic drum beats. His song is a painting, a poem, and a history of life that can resonate with people.

Lu Zian seemed to have returned to that year. The difference was that he could only look away from the distance, but now he is sitting in the front row.

When I heard a complete song at the end, it seemed as if I had passed the years he had experienced over the years.

This emotion spread until after listening to "Broken Bridge" until he returned home and took out the one-armed puppet. Lu Zi'an instantly threw all the sadness behind his head.

It's not too late to see when.

He took a shower and opened the live broadcast room directly.

[Hey? The master is still broadcasting so late today?]

[Please look familiar in the front row, Master, look at me! I am your nc fan!]

[Tsk, a group of idiots, I am different from them. What I like is Master your wood carving! Master, you look familiar with me!]

[There are green mountains outside the mountain, and you are pretending to be sad.]

Lu Zian had long been accustomed to their mutual confrontation and placed the one-armed puppet on the table: "Well, I may not be able to carve things tonight. I want to see the structure of this puppet..."

He wiped his hands clean and carefully took off the puppet's head.

Every artist cherishes his puppet very much, and pays special attention to the maintenance of puppets. The master saw that he loved puppets. Why did his favorite puppet break an arm?

If you want to know the reason, you have to understand why the puppet can move first, and then you have to study which stage it is at first.

The trajectory of Chinese puppet plastic art is roughly divided into three stages.

First, there are three sculptures and seven painting stages. This is the stage where the artist first carves the head shape and then draws the face. The shape mainly depends on drawing the face.

The second is the stage of combining sculpture and painting, which generally occurred before the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Then there is the stage of plasticity and randomness, which is the current puppet design by contemporary puppet artists using modern technological products.

Lu Zi'an carefully checked the carving and painting of this puppet, and felt that it should be in a style between the combination of carving and painting and the modern puppet shape.

The shape is relatively simple, and although the surface paint is a bit dull, it still does not crack, which means it was still well maintained.

He pressed the top of the puppet's head and gradually explored inch by inch, and finally felt a shallow bulge on his temples.

After pressing his finger for a few seconds, he slowly pushed the entire skull to one side.

The mortise and tenon structure was opened, and the head cover was slid a centimeter to one side. Then Lu Zi'an pulled it up and took off the entire head cover from the clamp position.

【Raise your skull, let me see your brain.】

【Your cerebellum has not grown well, no wonder you often fall when walking...】

【Crispy in the middle of the night…】

Lu Zian did not rush to look at the mechanism inside the puppet's head, but instead looked at the removed skull.

The edge should be painted with varnish, which is smooth and delicate when touched. Even after years of baptism, you can still see the extremely finely polished knife marks inside it.

Everything else is normal, but it seems that there is more than just varnish on it, and there seems to be something else.

Lu Zi'an lifted up the carving knife and carefully scraped it up layer by layer.

Even if it was just this skull, the craftsman applied seven layers of paint. Not only did it wrap it very tightly, but the polishing underneath was also very delicate. If it was not pressed to the mechanism, even if it was hard, it would not be able to open the head.

Lu Zi'an couldn't help frowning and cranked his knife on the table: It was obviously an ordinary puppet, but ordinary performances did not require such strict protection. What exactly is the reason that makes craftsmen so cautious?

He thought for a while, picked up the puppet's body, looked carefully at the broken arm, and finally saw traces of water in a very deep dent.
