Black fans, shaking heads, Li Shiji... She said it all, Liu Guijuan came to Shanghai to perform in "Suolin Bag"
"We not only inherit art, but also carry the spirit of inheritance, development and passing on the fire from generation to generation. The 40th anniversary of the Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe is celebrated by the audience with both hands. We will hold the spirit of 'a vegetable' and perform familiar operas The performance is excellent and pays homage to the classics to repay the love of the audience," said Zhao Xiujun, director of the Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe. On May 24, Zhao Xiujun and famous Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe Liu Guijuan and Zhang Ke met with the Shanghai audience at the Tianchan Shaw Stage to talk about the fate of Peking Opera that spans thousands of miles both inside and outside the theater. From May 24th to 26th, the three starred in the classic dramas "The Orphan of Zhao", "The Suo Lin Bag" and "The Number One Scholar Matchmaker".
This is the most popular actor meeting at Tian Chan Shaw Stage in recent years.
"I have so many fans, and 99% of them criticize me." said the fast-talking Liu Guijuan, "I just took advantage of the popularity of "Suolin Bag". When I enter the theater, I can't perform worse than the famous Shanghai actors. The last time Liu Guijuan performed in Shanghai was "Mei Fei" many years ago. When she came to Shanghai this time, she said, "Watching the ball in the middle of the night and catching a flight in the morning made me feel happy both physically and mentally."
At the meeting, Liu Guijuan found many familiar faces, "I performed sincerely, and the audience gave me sincere praise. I am grateful to so many young people who followed me to every city. I was very touched when I saw familiar faces and could only say Art returns on stage.”
"I want people to see more of Teacher Li Shiji's art. Each of her reforms encountered a lot of controversy, but without her, there would not be many Chengpai operas." Liu Guijuan studied under the famous Chengpai master Li Shiji, "I see Teacher Li every day Studying singing and rewriting scripts. Like a drama director, she taught me that acting characters must be peeled off layer by layer. For example, Xue Xiangling in "The Suo Lin Bag" transforms from "Sunflower" to "Clivia" step by step. She is a flesh-and-blood person. She is not a lady, but the second-generation rich man's daughter. Zhang Yuzhen is a lady in "Jade Hairpin". "The Injustice of Dou E" is about helplessness, and "Tears on the Barren Mountain" is about despair. See the character, not the performance of myself.”
"The audience has high demands and expectations on me, and I demand the same of myself. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, I was still thinking about "Woyu" in "A Dream of a Boudoir." The audience will not understand the age of the actor, they only know that you are playing a sixteen or seventeen year old A 20-year-old girl with very strict requirements. "Liu Guijuan also clarified the online rumors on the spot, which made the audience burst into laughter. "The Internet said that I shook my head a lot in "Suolin Bag", but I only shook my head in "Spring and Autumn Pavilion" to highlight Xue Xiangling. The joy of the wedding showed her happiness to everyone. When she was depressed, I didn’t shake my head. All the actions were based on the needs of the character. "
""The Orphan of Zhao" was taught to me word by word by Mr. Zhang Xuejin 25 years ago, and I have benefited a lot." Facing the enthusiastic Shanghai audience, Zhang Ke also shared his experience in the performance, "When we are in the best health, Taiwan I didn’t necessarily understand that. The audience cheered, and I just wanted to not forget the lyrics.” Zhang Ke remembered coming to Shanghai to perform in 1987, “I couldn’t hear everyone’s breathing, but it was too quiet.” Fast forward 40 years. Retired Zhang Ke said with a smile, "The theater fans are concerned about why I lost so much weight. Did I lose weight? In the past three years, I ate a bit too much and gained weight. Now I cherish every day and every performance."
The Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe was founded in 1984. Over the past 40 years, it has developed into a powerful Peking Opera troupe with strong strength, complete lines of work, rich repertoire and diverse genres. This trip to Shanghai is also an important part of a series of performances to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe. "The Orphan of Zhao", "Lin Suo" and "The Number One Matchmaker" are respectively starred by the national first-class actor and winner of the Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Drama - Zhang Ke, a famous old student of the Yang School, Liu Guijuan, a famous Tsing Yi actor of the Cheng School, and Zhao Xiujun, a famous Tsing Yi actor of the Zhang School. The repertoire is classic and the lineup is gorgeous, fully demonstrating the artistic strength of Jinmen opera.
In the drama "The Number One Scholar", Zhao Xiujun plays the lead role of Princess Che, whose voice is restrained and subtle, with distinct layers. She penetrates deeply into the character's heart and sings out the character's image and psychology in Zhang style, including more connotations. Liu Guijuan has a perfect grasp of the performance level of Xue Xiangling, the character in "Suolin Bag", in different situations. The performances of famous scenes such as "Choose a dowry", "Spring and Autumn Pavilion", "Pearl Tower" and "Three Giving Up Chairs" are frequently highlighted and emotional. Makes sense. Zhang Ke had a profound understanding of the spiritual character of Cheng Ying in "The Orphan of Zhao", and sang the soul and cultivation of the old Cheng Ying with his mellow Laosheng singing.
"Not only the leading actors are excited, but also the stage orchestra. We all work together to present three great shows." Zhao Xiujun praised Shanghai for its inclusiveness, full of modern flavor and traditional flavor. "I want to go to the Bund, but unfortunately I don't have time. I look forward to it next time." once."
