Second, three methods of changing face of Sichuan Opera

There are three ways to change the face of Sichuan Opera: wiping face, blowing face and pulling face. In addition, there is a kind of "luck" face change.

1, wipe your face

It is to apply makeup paint to a specific part of the face, and then wipe it on the face with your hands, and it becomes another face. If you want to change everything, draw it on your forehead or eyebrows. If you just want to change the lower part of your face, draw them on your face or nose.

If you only need to change one part, you can only paint the part to be changed.

Be sure to pay attention: close your eyes, shut your mouth and hold your breath when blowing. Zizi in Capturing Zizi alive and Le Yangzi in Treating Zhongshan were all transformed by blowing their faces.

Step 3 pull your face

"Face-pulling" is a complicated face-changing method. It is to draw a face on a piece of silk in advance, cut it open, tie a silk thread to each face, and then stick it on the face one by one. The silk thread is tied in a convenient and inconspicuous place (such as a belt) in the clothes. With the development of the plot, under the cover of dance movements, they were demolished one by one.

For example, the bowl in The Legend of the White Snake (Zijin Bowl) can turn seven or eight different faces, such as green, red, white and black. Another example is the thief in The Old Main Building, and Nie Long in Watching Niang Beach. It's hard to pull a face.

First, don't have too much glue on your face, lest you tear it off at that time or tear off all the faces at once. Second, the action should be clean and neat, and the fake action should be clever, which can deceive the eyes of the audience.
