Qin opera actor yuanyaya: singing good plays for the people all his life
2022-06-21
People's love is the most fertile soil for the inheritance of opera. Over the years, I have overcome many difficulties and brought high-quality and positive Shaanxi opera to the people. The people give back to me with the most enthusiastic and simple emotions. This is a valuable spiritual wealth on my artistic path. This enlightens us that cultural inheritance and innovation are inseparable from the support and love of the people. Qinqiang opera is rooted in local areas and has a deep mass base. It originates from the artistic creation of the working people. Its singing fully absorbs the characteristics of Guanzhong Dialect. Its artistic style is bold, rough and vigorous. In the course of many years of grassroots performance, I have found that classic plays such as the case of guile beauty, Wu dianpo and Dou E's injustice are familiar to everyone. Both the elderly and middle-aged people can sing a few words casually. Some young people have learned some under the influence of their elders. Qin opera sings the folk customs of the land and the spirit of the people. It is still full of vitality after hundreds of years of development. The art of traditional Chinese opera goes from the folk to the gate. People's love is the most fertile soil for the inheritance of opera. Over the years, I have overcome many difficulties and brought high-quality and positive Shaanxi opera to the people. The people give back to me with the most enthusiastic and simple emotions. This is a valuable spiritual wealth on my artistic path. In the vast northwest region, grass-roots theatres and troupes often have to fight against the cold when performing. Once when we were sent to the countryside for a play, it snowed heavily and the mountains behind the earthen platform were covered with snow. We had to gather around the stove to make up. The costumes of Dan and Sheng roles are especially thin, but if they wear a lot of clothes inside, they can't show the beauty of clothes and figure, and the artistry of the play will be discounted. We did not hesitate to change into costumes - no matter how cold it is, we must persist, and no matter how cold it is, we must be high spirited, because every performance carries the expectations of the audience. The play "Spring Moon" was performed that night, with the theme of maternal love, showing the qualities of an ordinary woman who is kind and selfless. LiuMingYue, the protagonist I played, brought back a crying baby from her front door, helped the baby out of danger and brought him up. Later, LiuMingYue helped him return to his biological parents to reunite the family. Faced with gold and silver, wealth and wealth, LiuMingYue refused with a smile and returned to her hometown. As a mother, I put my love for my children into the performance. With the most sincere emotion, I acted from a young girl to an old woman, and shaped characters with different singing styles according to different ages. There was a farewell scene in the play. During the singing process, I couldn't help crying. There was also a sob under the stage. That night, the audience watched the performance in the open air for more than three hours under the heavy snow. After the performance, they went backstage to take a group photo with the actors, and their love was beyond expression. At that moment, I understood the meaning of art communicating with the soul. Approaching the common people can promote the innovation of the content and form of opera art and sing the connotation of the times. Qin opera art should be innovated. The most direct and vivid material is the true and vivid stories of the new era. The Shaanxi opera spring and autumn in the village, the theme of poverty alleviation, in which I starred, tells the story of Wan Xiangfang, the protagonist, serving as the first Secretary of niuzuiliang village and helping farmers build a poverty alleviation industrial base. The plot of this work is all "small things", but it is the stories of wasteland renovation, saving farms in the rainstorm and so on, which show the true face and fighting spirit of the front line of poverty alleviation. People's stories make the dramas full of life and drama conflicts reasonable, avoiding the conceptualization and generalization of narration. In terms of stage settings, costumes, singing, etc., the creative team made innovations closer to the current reality according to the plot, so that the audience could listen to the familiar and look at the reality. In addition, we also absorb the advantages of drama, dance, sketch and other art forms according to the audience's spiritual and cultural needs and contemporary life style. Only in this way can Qin opera follow the pace of the times and maintain its vitality forever. In recent years, our western Shaanxi opera research institute has created and arranged a number of plays, including the modern Shaanxi opera "Red Mountain" which shows rural life and love stories, the Qin opera historical drama "Wen Gong of the great Qin Dynasty" which has a dramatic plot and a grand scene, and the "Maiji hymn" which extols the good quality based on the 44th cave of the world cultural heritage Maijishan grottoes. These plays contain the flavor of the times in both content and form, and are constantly revised and improved according to audience feedback during the tour. At the age of 7, because of my love, I asked my parents to learn drama; At the age of 9, he entered the drama school and became the youngest student in the school. During my career as an artist, many older artists told me with earnest words: "singing good plays also serves the people." With the enrichment of performance experience, I have a deeper understanding of this sentence. I will continue to carry forward the fine traditions, take root in the hot life, and sing good plays for the people all my life. (outlook new era)
