Speaking of the name Chi Xiaoqiu, in the eyes of many opera fans, it is equivalent to the outstanding successor of Cheng School. Linking Cheng, Chi Xiaoqiu together, we can clearly describe the path of Cheng School's artistic inheritance. So is Chi Xiaoqiu the real name of this outstanding successor of Cheng School? What are the touching stories between her and her tutor? How does she understand and express the art of Cheng School?
Chi Xiaoqiu is an outstanding successor of Cheng School. Of course, there are many titles and auras on her head, but only one was intercepted, that is, the outstanding successor of Cheng School. I think this is more precious than any title, because it is given to her by the vast number of opera fans and the audience who love Xiaoqiu. Speaking of Chi Xiaoqiu, she is not a Liyuan family. She was born in a peasant family in a remote rural area in Fuxin, Liaoning. She 1 1 year old. By chance, she was admitted to this drama school in Fuxin. During the period of drama school, let's say that she studied both literature and martial arts. Then, just before graduation, the organization decided to send her to study Cheng Pai art, which was something she felt very lucky in her life. She was sent to Shanghai in 198 1 to study with Wang Yinqiu, a famous Peking Opera performer. It should be said that at that time, she was hazy about Cheng School's art, but she was a drama with Wang Xue. At first, she was not a formal apprentice, so she worked as an auditor. It was Mr. Wang who taught another of his students. She watched quietly. Every day, she moves a small bench, sits down next to her, writes carefully, watches carefully and studies hard. She thought the opportunity was rare, because at that time, she was only 16 years old. Therefore, Teacher Wang, who is very strict in drama teaching, especially likes this diligent student. So in the process of teaching him to be an apprentice, he worked very hard and seriously, so suddenly one day, the teacher said to let me go. After teaching Band Four in front of Lin Bao, he said that he felt very savvy, so he studied so hard and learned well. From then on, he taught her every day, just like a formal student, so she was eccentric, just in Shanghai. After learning Sorin Capsule, Dou Eyuan and Tears in the Barren Mountains, it should be said that all the enlightenments are passbook dramas and some traditional old dramas, which means that Miss Wang Can taught her three dramas at once. First of all, she feels that the teacher is not conservative. She often says that I will teach you as the master teaches me, so Xiaoqiu is lucky to be late. When their Fuxin leader went to Shanghai to thank Teacher Xie and then came to pick them up, Miss Wang liked her very much and said that she wanted to change her name. At that time, her name was Chi Shuxin, which was also a nice name, but the teacher thought that he really wanted to change his name. After consulting with their leaders, he began to want to call her Chi Xiaoqiu, which was a little old. Later, Mr. Wang decided to call her Chi Xiaoqiu, and the name was changed. Then when she returned to her hometown in Fuxin, her classmates and comrades felt that, alas, the name was changed too well, and at the same time, the name later brought her a lot of luck. She thinks this also means going on the road of Cheng School art initiated by Teacher Cheng. In this case, she also changed her name and made up her mind through the teacher's teaching, that is to say, she must inherit and learn Cheng School art well.
She may come from a relatively poor place, and she may cherish this learning opportunity more, which is the first step to success. The teacher changed her name to a very loud name. This little autumn, personally understood, has successful autumn words, some autumn words, because the teacher sings autumn, which is a feeling of chanting. It is a very formal inheritance relationship. Then when did she formally worship Mr. Wang? It was in 1983, in order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Teacher Cheng's death, she held a very big performance, that is, artists from all over the world, especially the inheritors of Cheng School, gathered in Beijing, which was a very big activity. In this activity, when the activity was coming to an end, their local Fuxin leader sincerely made this request to Mr. Wang. Where's Mr. Wang? In this process, after one or two years of teaching, contact and investigation, she agreed happily, so Chi Xiaoqiu paid an official visit to Wang Yinqiu in Beijing Minzu Palace Hotel on April 1983. During the apprenticeship, that is to say, so many artists, predecessors and colleagues were invited, especially Grandma Cheng, who was fortunate enough to attend the apprenticeship, was also a teacher, Guo. At the master-apprentice meeting, Grandma Cheng also told me that Grandpa has been serious and meticulous about art all his life, and I hope their descendants will be the same, so she also remembered the requirements and teachings that Grandma Cheng put forward at the master-apprentice meeting over the years, and she was particularly grateful to her.
1983 The teacher worshipped should be said to be the earliest among the outstanding descendants of Cheng School who are now active on the stage. At that time, she probably knew that tickets were cheap, so everywhere she went, she remembered to go to Yantai, Shanghai or Tianjin, that is, to perform 10 or 20, 20 or 30 shows, all of which were examples of Tianjin. 1984 came to Beijing for the first time, so she still remembers that the first scene was in the old Chang' an Grand Theatre, which is the old Chang' an Grand Theatre on Chang' an Avenue. In Xidan, including Old Auspicious, Zhonghe, Guanghe and Yuanen Temple, it is a tour. In other words, this promotion is very important to her and there are many stories. What I remember vividly is the first scene. She remembers performing this song "Suolin Capsule" in Chang 'an Grand Theatre. Many artists, teachers and audiences came to the scene to encourage her, especially at the end. Of course, it was the same when the audience went to other places. Nobody believes it. They just said they wanted to have a closer look, so in Tianjin and other places, most of them asked her. After they saw it, oh, it was a child, so she remembered the scene in Chang 'an Theater in Beijing very clearly that day, so she pulled her off the stage and shook hands with the audience in front of the theater. You think it will take a long time, and then the audience will be willing to leave. Even these scenes inspired her to study and inherit Cheng School's art for so many years. She should say she's totally committed.
Ten years of catastrophe, it should be said that our Peking Opera talents have been cut off. Many viewers think that such a small actor can't become a role. Do they want to take a closer look and see if it's a child? In fact, if teenagers are compared with the old society, they are not too young, but in this special period just after the Cultural Revolution, they are not really adults. Moreover, I remember that she was only 65,438+09 years old when she won the Plum Blossom Award, that is, that year, after the performance in Beijing in 65,438+0984, the author of Sorin Niang gave her great encouragement, just like Mr. Weng Ouhong at that time. After watching her play, I wrote an inscription, which means that Xu Wei is a standard successor of the school, and so on. She thinks so. It's hard for her to bear these years, but she also does it according to this standard. So that year, she won the second Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Drama. At that time, there must be hundreds of award-winning actors, almost the same. 19 years old won the plum blossom award, but it seems that there is little or no impression, anyway, very little. Until then, no one has crossed this age, no one has crossed this age, and no one is younger than him. There are local operas, but only Beijing opera actors don't.
It has been a long time since I was a teenager, and I have been playing Sorin Niang until I saw her Sorin Niang. From her heart, after so many years of study and tempering, how did she know the artistic strength of Cheng School? First of all, she thinks its charm and appeal mainly lies in its depth, which was hazy when she was a beginner. Where's Teacher Wang? This teaching is very detailed, and he also said that he would teach her how Teacher Cheng taught her. Because the teacher's meticulous inheritance has laid a very good foundation for her. Then, through this later study and continuous study, we will gradually deepen our understanding of Cheng Painting School. She thinks that the art of Cheng School is about its depth, mainly in two aspects. Two aspects, on the one hand, its singing art, which is what everyone usually calls singing and dancing. On the one hand, it is the emotion of the characters, and it is to shape the characters on the stage. The voice of Cheng School is very recognized and familiar among the audience and the vast number of opera fans. It is its deep, euphemistic, cadence, intermittent, soft, firm and touching singing that is infectious. Everyone is familiar with it, so it also pays great attention to its figure, its gestures and gestures, especially its sleeves.
