Courtesy to the sages reaches the heart of the people -- On the premiere of the original Kun opera Fan Wen Zheng Gong in Suzhou
2022-11-29
"Don't take pleasure in things, and don't take pity on yourself. If you live high in the temple, you will worry about the people, and if you live far in the Jianghu, you will worry about the king..." On the evening of November 26, when the recital of the ancient famous story "Yueyang Tower" echoed in the Chinese Kunqu Opera Theater, the first performance of "Fan Wen Zhenggong" ended, and the audience responded with thunderous applause and cheers. The Kun Opera Fan Wenzheng Gong was created by the Suzhou Kun Opera Theater and directed by the Suzhou Fan Zhongyan Research Association. It vividly presents Fan Zhongyan's family and country feelings of "first sorrow and then joy" to the audience with four twists and four feelings. The premiere of Fan Wenzheng Gong opened the prelude to the creation of Kunqu Opera series "Suzhou Celebrity Stories". Courtesy to the sages is presented in a lyrical way that Kunqu is good at, which can move people's hearts and inspire them. During his tenure as a "parent official" in Suzhou, Fan Zhongyan tackled the flood, initiated government schools, and founded a charity village, leaving precious cultural heritage and spiritual wealth for future generations. How to show Fan Zhongyan in a play? "There is no particularly violent conflict in this play, but Kunqu Opera is very vivid and expressive because it reflects the characteristics of the characters and tells the story in a delicate and graceful way." Wang Shiyu, a representative inheritor of Kunqu Opera, a national intangible cultural heritage project, a national first-class actor, and the art director of the drama, told the reporter that "Farewell to Mother", "Zuo Fu", "Lecture", and "Evening Book" respectively expressed the feelings of mother and son, husband and wife, brother and family. "This play has a long time span, showing Fan Zhongyan's stage from the age of 23 to about 58. From the perspective of performance, it almost includes several different professions, namely, Jinsheng, Xiaoguansheng and Gaoguansheng, and even needs to learn from the performance skills of some old students." Yu Jiulin, a national first-class actor and winner of the "Plum Blossom Award", who plays Fan Zhongyan in the play, said. Structurally, the four part plays are presented as a whole and linked together. Xiao Pu and Xiao Ai, the maidservants of the Fan family, run through the play. "At first, the script was divided into four parts, which lacked continuity. If you were a host, you would lose the style and taste of Kunqu Opera." Sun Xiaoyan, the national first-class director and the chief director of the play, told the reporter that after repeated deliberation and polishing, the memories of the two children were chosen as clues. "This play is relatively thick, and the explanations of Xiao Pu and Xiao Ai add a lively atmosphere and are more viewable." "Each drama has its own aesthetics and voice. Fan Zhongyan's sense of heaviness matches the style and tonality of Kunqu Opera very well, which is very consistent with the interpretation of Kunqu Opera." Sun Xiaoyan has directed more than 20 major dramas, including Shaoxing Opera and Yueju Opera. In the process of directing this time, what she values most is the viewability of the drama. In terms of makeup, it not only retains the unique sleeves and channels of the opera, but also draws on some film and television elements, presenting a sense of ethereal elegance. On the stage set, folding and folding are switched by overlapping. On the afternoon of November 25, Yu Jiulin had just finished the last rehearsals before the premiere, and he told reporters: "For example, a break in Night Book tells that Fan Zhongyan wrote a story of Yueyang Tower and Teng Zijing had a 'divine friendship'. He innovatively used camera language to express Kunqu's freehand brushwork and emphasized the aesthetic characteristics of 'poetry and painting'." Creation of "Suzhou Celebrity Stories" with Kunqu Opera Last winter, the head of Suzhou Kunqu Opera Theatre and the main creative team came up with the idea of creating Suzhou celebrity Kunqu Opera and invited Zheng Huai, who was far away in Fujian
