The Rise of "Dunhuang Dance School"
The dance drama Rain on Silk Road was created by a huge choreographer and director team headed by Zhao Zhixun and Liu Shaoxiong. The earliest performance was Gansu Song and Dance Troupe (later changed to Gansu Song and Dance Theatre, which is today's Dunhuang Art Theatre in Gansu). With the help of scholars and experts, the crew of Silk Road Flower Rain, which has the advantage of "geographical location", screened and refined typical static dances from the dance pictures preserved in the Mogao Grottoes, discussed its movement-reviving it, and established its own dance vocabulary on this basis. "Rain on Silk Road" became the first dance drama in China to create Dunhuang Dance School, which triggered the rise of Dunhuang Dance School and provided a new reference model for China classical dance. Among them, ying niang's S Dance, the heroine of Rebound Pipa, became the signboard of Dunhuang Dance.
7 generations 16 ying Niang.
The role of ying niang looks glorious, but it is not easy to act. Ying niang's dance is extensive and consumes a lot of energy. Every generation of ying niang has to play two or three actors. Since its appearance, the drama has produced seven generations of 16 actresses, and its beauty is full of hardships. Every morning, when other actors get up, the actor who plays ying niang has been training for two or three hours. Every generation of ying niang has paid unimaginable sweat for the role.
Storms on Silk Road premiered on 1979, which caused a sensation throughout the country, in which He (a) and Fu Chunying (b) played ying niang. "A Generation of ying niang" recalled in an article: "In order to make the still Dunhuang murals dance, the directors worked hard, and I became their experimental' gyro'; I dance like a demon, and every dance is formed with hard work and sweat. "
Fu Chunying, also the "first generation ying niang", came to Beijing with her husband and actress Zhou Lijing in the glorious stage of her career and worked as a physical education teacher in colleges and universities. A few years later, Fu Chunying was stabbed to death by a thief, which made her "Ying Niang fans" cry bitterly.
17 years old, became the third generation of ying niang actors after He and Fu Chunying. In a blink of an eye, nearly 20 years later, Shi Min also retired from the Youth Dance Company and became a classical dance teacher in Beijing Dance Academy. She used her own funds to make a solo art film "Sleepless in Dunhuang", which "shows the worship of Dunhuang art with dance".
Lee Hung, the "fourth generation ying niang", has a dance performance on the disc, and he has to do more than 20 turns continuously on the lotus stage with a diameter of 1.6 meters. In order to practice this skill well, Li Hong practiced whenever he had time, regardless of the occasion, and even ate croton to lose weight, and lost more than 20 kilograms in 20 days 10.
Liu Luanxiong (a screenwriter and a member of the creative group of Silk) described Fu Chunying in this way: his performances were charming and colorful, and he was good at combining inner passion with external beauty, resulting in a seamless artistic realm.
While the drama Diaosi is still in the rehearsal stage, Ying Niang has selected four groups of actors, namely He, Fu Chunying and. They're all cute. He Yanyun is strong in shaping, steady in dancing and good in expressive force, and he has shaped ying niang's inner world well. I am deeply impressed by Zhang Li. Her Indian dance is absolutely amazing. I don't think anyone in China can match her. She is absolutely world-class, elegant in appearance and lively in dancing. Fu Chunying's movements are softer. She is a beautiful and intelligent person who has made rapid progress. Yang Hong and later Shimin danced very well. I remember Yang Hong's first performance was in the former Soviet Union. After the performance, he won the praise of the audience. It's all good. It's all pleasing. "
