Telling stories, telling the past and persuading people to say a few words are fleeting, which is a thousand years for the market. Storytelling is a traditional art that accompanies people's lives. Different times need different storytellers to debut. Since the late 1970s, a female storyteller has gradually stepped onto the stage of China with her unique style of speaking and performing, which conforms to the artistic image of the times and has become a common cultural memory of several generations. This is Liu Lanfang.
Teacher Yang Chengtian is Bole. Once in Liu Lanfang, she went to Xu Changhao Teahouse to listen to a book and listened to Teacher Yang Chengtian's Yang Jiajiang. He found a little girl listening to a book here and asked what to call her. She said my name was Liu Shuqin. Why do you study books? She said she would study. Then I met your mother. She didn't know what he told her at that time, and later told her. He asked her mother to call her children.
After graduating from high school for two years, I dropped out of school three years later because of difficulties in life, that is, to comment on books, so I took a luggage roll with a thick dog neck and went to Anshan Quyi Troupe without clothes. From then on, I entered Anshan Quyi Troupe as a student, where I felt like a duck to water, because there were more than 20 students studying, singing duet, singing drums, and there were storytellers in Xihe, so I should.
Anshan, known as the "hometown of storytelling", provided a rare social soil for Liu Lanfang's artistic career. Wang Jun said: "Their Anshan Quyi Troupe was founded in 1956, when the national economic situation was the best, so Anshan was no exception. Because Anshan is the steel capital of the motherland and the eldest son of the steel industry of the Republic, there are140 thousand industrial workers in Anshan, so the economic situation in Anshan was also very good at that time, which promoted the development of our literature and art. ..
Liu Lanfang is brilliant and good at learning from others. /kloc-officially stepped onto the stage at the age of 0/6. He sincerely thanked the storyteller of Anshan Quyi Troupe. There must be a premise in telling a story. He used to be very conservative, but he didn't teach. He is an old actor, and he realized that this book is the basic work of his life, which means that he can make money anywhere and have an audience.
You said I was an artist and I had no audience. What do you eat? That's what he ordered, so it's not easy to teach. There's a saying that "it's better to pass on ten ingots of gold than a mouthful of spring", which means it doesn't matter if I get you ten or twenty dollars. You can't say that, that is to say, a few cents and two dollars can teach you to do business; Only Anshan Quyi Troupe can listen to books at will. They have five tea houses. There are three performers and fifteen storytellers every day. Feel free to listen. It was impossible before. If you listen to the book and drive you out, tell him to go out and not to come in.
Not only listen casually, but also someone asks who taught it. Storyteller sings Xihe drum and storytelling, only one sings Northeast drum. Although there are hundreds of people in Anshan Quyi Troupe, there is only one teacher who sings the northeast drum, that is, her old woman Gong Sunhui Wen, so she is instructed to listen to her books in the future, and there is also a string teacher Yan Chuntian, who is blind. He hung up her voice and she listened to Teacher Sun's book. But how to learn, there is one in the group.
Anshan Quyi has a strong atmosphere, and storytellers are often invited to record programs on the radio. Liu Lanfang, who is a small and successful storyteller among the younger generation, was quickly selected by radio editor Li Xiyuan to record some short films. Li Xiyuan said: "At that time, I went to the radio station, and telling stories in the bookstore was different from telling stories on the radio. There are conditions for telling stories on the radio. Its limitations are relatively small and its requirements are relatively high. Because radio storytelling is an auditory art, unlike storytelling actors who pay attention to the movements of hands, eyes and body on the stage, they can all be measured.
That broadcast is compiled by language, which is quite difficult. The most important thing is voice makeup, and the sound is better. So a few young people were chosen at that time, and their voices were better, especially Liu Lanfang's voice was stronger than all of them. Because I personally feel that she has a beautiful voice and speaks clearly.
In the late 1970s, Li Xiyuan found Liu Lanfang again, and prepared to record a traditional masterpiece, The Biography of Yue Fei. There must be a manuscript before recording a new book. Many books taught by storyteller Yang Chengtian have been lost, and the folk information about Yue Fei is scattered and varied, which is not enough to support radio recording. Liu Lanfang decided to rewrite Yue Fei's biography. Faced with a sea of information, Liu Lanfang's husband Wang Yinquan decided to compile this new book together.
Wang Yinquan, four years older than Liu Lanfang, is a disciple of the famous allegro master Li Runjie. In order to support his wife's storytelling career, Wang Yinquan sacrificed many performance opportunities over the years. Wang Yinquan said: "They found some books about the peasant uprising in Song Dynasty at that time, and some materials related to Yue Fei, so they recalled to Liu Lanfang what they had learned from the teacher at the beginning, so they had to edit the book again. After these efforts, they wrote an outline, which was different from what they learned from the teacher.
Because when her teacher was studying, there were some things that were originally sealed, some things that slandered the peasant uprising, some were polygamous, and some were superstitious. They reworked it, and after four aspects of work, they deleted, changed, supplemented, moved and deleted something that could not be said. The plot was good, so they changed it. And supplements, supplements. It turns out that there are still some unwritten things in Yue Fei's military career. They made it up after checking the information. Some of them were transplanted, and they moved them to other art forms and put them in storytelling.
And according to the old library materials, Yue Quanzhuan was added, deleted, supplemented, added and revised. In order to keep up with the recording progress, the couple work in shifts from midnight every day. Early the next morning, Liu Lanfang went directly to the radio station to record books with Wang Yinquan's finalized Liang Zi. "The couple are honest and harmonious neighbors. Who has big things and small feelings? They give everything they want. The old man came over and named Yueju. On the full moon, relatives, friends and neighbors all came to have wine to congratulate him. Everyone is eating wine. Suddenly I heard someone shouting in the street, it's no good ... "The joint efforts of husband and wife finally ushered in the moment of harvest. 1In September, 979, Liu Lanfang's Biography of Yue Fei was broadcast on more than 60 radio stations all over the country. Liu Lanfang, who just turned 36, became famous all over the world by virtue of his favorable weather, geographical location, people and a book.
I think the books on her stage and bookcase are fresh and resolute in spirit, regardless of the language or content of the performance. It's not the feeling of digging a melon hat, a robe or a coat from the grave, but a historical story and a traditional theme. Traditional programs feel fresh and energetic in her mouth. It is a mountain that has been erected, pulled up and risen from the ground. It is a kind of energetic creation, not that kind of lying down. "
At first, I thought her tone, intonation and voice were very feminine, so I was separated from men at once, and men may pay more attention to the inner texture, but they are not too particular about the polishing of the language itself. On the whole, at least they are not too particular. But when you see Liu Lanfang telling stories, her voice, language, language flow, speech speed, tone, language potential, pronunciation and language charm are all more beautiful. This is the so-called stage cavity.
"In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin and Song fought to the death in front of Ai Huashan, and Shiro of the Great State of Jin was the master ..." Hand-eye posture and Yan Xi's slow and harmonious teasing, each one depends on tone and behavior. There are many characters in the Biography of Yue Fei. When portraying characters, Liu Lanfang, a civil servant and military commander, will fully consider the prudence and maturity of female actors.
I mean, what women say is different from that of men, but we think that there are fewer women and their language is limited, which is a disadvantage. Men say they are a burden, haha, they are confused when they are happy and laugh. It is difficult for women to rely on their own achievements. However, an industry has its own rules and regulations that we should abide by. This is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation.
Even if it is a look that will not be noticed for an instant, she will never let go. She will pay attention to where and how far she will look. Liu Lanfang's disciple Wang Shuangfeng said, "She made an action and a style. She said you should watch your hand and follow it like this. Your eyes will look at the direction of your hand. You can't look at your hands. She said you look, she said you look again, if you look far away, you seem to see something, but if you look at your hands, your eyes will be nearsighted. She said that when you were performing, you were just a look.
