1in March, 1980, Hua Yiqing, a senior three student, saw an advertisement for Shanghai Yue Theatre in the newspaper. With her mother's permission, she wanted to give it a try, but she couldn't even sing a word of Yue Opera. She didn't know about Yue Opera until she saw A Dream of Red Mansions on the screen after the Cultural Revolution. Therefore, Hua Yiqing went to the bookstore to buy a set of records of A Dream of Red Mansions, temporarily learned a song "Ask Zi Juan" from Crying Spirit, and went to the exam without memorizing it.
There are no fewer than 5,000 candidates in the examination room, but only three places have been admitted, and the elimination rate is self-evident. Hua Yiqing doesn't mind this. Having been trained in the Youth Choir for several years, she was not afraid at the scene. Under the gaze of a pair of strange eyes, she took out a piece of paper with eight lyrics written on it and began to sing freely. After three exams, her loud voice, beautiful face and well-proportioned posture satisfied many teachers present.
This year 1 1 month, Hua Yiqing was officially admitted and stepped into the door of Yue Theatre. On the day of registration, Mr. Yuan earnestly said to the three students, "I hope you are new people with artistic direction and enterprising spirit." Hua Yiqing meticulously recorded the words of the old dean in his notebook and was determined to do so.
More than a year later, A Dream of Red Mansions, which had been lost for nearly 20 years on the stage of Yue Opera, was re-staged by the new generation in Yue Theatre, with Hua Yiqing playing Yingying, Xue Baochai's handmaid. This is a little girl with only one line, but she plays seriously, has a sense of coherence, and lives in the role from beginning to end, which attracts the attention of Dean Yuan Xuefen and Director Chen Wu who are watching the drama under the stage.
More than a year later, at the invitation of the Japan-China Cultural Exchange Association, the theater will perform A Dream of Red Mansions for the first time in the East. In order to choose the actor who plays Lin Daiyu, the leader decided to let Hua Yiqing and several actors try to arrange two plays, "Burying Flowers" and "Burning Manuscripts" at the same time. This is another test for Hua Yiqing. This time, she felt guilty and timid. Facing the students who are familiar with the teacher, her hands and feet tremble involuntarily, and she is very stiff, especially when singing, and there are problems such as floating, swearing and lack of charm. This is disappointing. It seems that her hope of playing Lin Daiyu is slim.
Hua Yiqing didn't complain or feel inferior. He is determined to make up for the lack of basic skills and catch up. She took the initiative to find a pianist to practice singing. Seeing many actors practicing singing around the pianist, she began to follow the vocal music and do body movements in front of the mirror. The pianist was moved by her studious spirit and often gave up rest to practice piano and sing for her. In view of her weakness, the violinist not only asked her to sing a Dream of Red Mansions, but also chose a long and difficult singing method such as Detective. Guide "and" Mu Guiying is in command "to practice for her. It takes an hour or two to practice singing every time. Pianists are very strict, and the problems in singing practice are pointed out immediately; If the actors don't make efforts to improve, they will be severely criticized, which will make some people afraid and shy away. Hua Yiqing thought the violinist's words were harsh, but they were of great educational significance to him. He has been looking for him to practice singing, and he is very grateful to this rare teacher Yan. After practicing songs every day, she is also distracted. At home, she is accompanied by a tape recorder. The previous singing method is a song, a cavity, a word, chewing and pondering, in order to get the size.
Hua Yiqing's hard work and the teachers' hard work for her were not in vain. A Dream of Red Mansions was officially released. She played Lin Daiyu with young actress Li Ping. A bird in the forest has learned to sing and played such an important role that it is inevitable that some people will refuse to accept and doubt it. Can she do it? On the day of rehearsal, when a small sedan chair carrying Daiyu appeared on the flower path, Hua Yiqing's heart in the sedan chair was beating violently. She secretly told herself: "If you want to live up to expectations, you must not live up to the love of the older generation of artists." She appeared on the stage. Although she is still immature in performance, her eyes, tone and smile all reveal a girl's naive, slender and exquisite charm. This is the first time that Hua Yiqing plays the leading role, and the audience reflects that this strange newcomer is a useful material.
Fortunately, Hua Yiqing, who played Lin Daiyu on the stage, will play Lin Daiyu on the screen again.
Looking for Lin Daiyu as the actor in the TV series Dream of Red Mansions. In a short time, the recommended actors came. After some selection, as many as seven candidates entered the audition. Finally, Hua Yiqing won an award for her excellent appearance and temperament.
It is more difficult for Hua Yiqing to stage Lin Daiyu on the screen. In Shoot's first episode, psychic Baoyu, many plots and scenes are not available in the stage play. For example, under the escort of Lin Daiyu, she took a boat from Yangzhou to Jiafu and went to Ningguo House to meet Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang respectively, and Daiyu sighed at the window at night. In the past, Lin Daiyu was also imitated and relied on in Taiwan Province, so making a TV series needs to be independently created on the basis of a new script. She felt that she had little stage practice and poor understanding and creativity, which "forced" her to study harder. She read Cao Xueqin's novels, pondered over and understood the chapters about Lin Daiyu, and laboriously chewed some critical articles written by Redology. I also asked my mother to help her pay attention to newspaper advertisements. As long as she sees the movie "Dream of Red Mansions" being shown, no matter how far or near, she will go to see it ... because Hua Yiqing is willing to learn and practice, and she has made remarkable progress in rehearsal. Sighing at the scene at night, Jia Baoyu threw jade in public, which aroused Daiyu's endless sadness. She felt sorry for herself when she first came and worried about her future life. Chinese and foreign feelings show the sadness and bitterness of the characters, which makes people feel a little sorry for themselves.
In just a few years, Hua Yiqing took to the stage, went to the screen (playing the amateur propaganda team actor Xiao in Flying Son-in-law), and went to Japan to perform last year 1 1 month. Applause seems a little early for an artist who is still a student. Without a correct understanding, people may be destroyed before they become talents. Fortunately, she is still studying and studying tirelessly as in the past. She is not complacent and should not be complacent. Dissatisfaction is an upward wheel. May Hua Yiqing remember Lu Xun's famous words and persevere in the long road of artistic pursuit in the future.
