Biography of Ruihong
A red carpet, colorful lights. The stage is full of joys and sorrows, reunion and separation. The curtain opens and closes, the lights go out, and the years are like water. In the face of the bustling city with brilliant lights outside the play, the stage is sometimes lonely when it is over. However, there is such a young student of Yue opera, who has always been watching this noisy and quiet, classical and modern interlaced stage world, infatuated. In moving the audience, but also moved their own. If you ask her, why is she so obsessed? Her answer was firm: "because this is my favorite art, which contains endless charm that attracts me to explore constantly."
She is Zhang Ruihong, the famous fan Xiaosheng of the red chamber troupe of Shanghai Yue opera academy and the direct disciple of fan Ruijuan, the founder of fan art.
Keep watch for a faith
Zhang Ruihong is a woman of water town. Born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, he has a father who was a senior director of Shaoxing Yueju troupe. However, her relationship with Yue Opera is not as natural as people think, but with a bit of legendary color, just like the legendary stories she often performs on the stage in the future. "At the beginning, my father didn't agree with me to engage in this industry. He hoped that a college student would be born in our family." She said. However, in 1979, when Linhai Yue Opera Troupe went to Shaoxing to recruit students, she couldn't even hum a word of Yue Opera at that time. However, with her bright voice and beautiful appearance, she was met by the teacher in charge of recruiting students. Since then, she has a hard relationship with Yue Opera.
Many years later, when Zhang Ruihong recalled the scene when he secretly got on the long-distance bus to Linhai for the second examination without telling his parents, he still had some fear in his heart. "The car is driving on the winding winding mountain road. Outside the window is a deep cliff. At that time, I thought to myself, "what if I fall down?" However, it was on this winding road that Zhang Ruihong, a stubborn man, understood one thing better: "since he has chosen, he can only move forward, not backward. My own way,
We have to go step by step on our own. " After that, her struggle and her exploration made the best footnotes for this unusual first step.
If you look at Zhang Ruihong's resume, you may be surprised by her rich experience: she joined Linhai Yueju Opera Troupe in 1979 as the main actor and deputy head of the troupe. In 1982, he was admitted to Zhejiang Art School. He was admitted to Yueju class of Shanghai Opera School in 1984. After graduation in 1987, he was officially transferred to the Youth League of Shanghai Yue opera academy and served as the main actor. He has been incorporated into the red chamber troupe since 190. Zhang Ruihong's life experience of stage practice and theoretical study, which has been traveling between Zhejiang and Shanghai, will bring endless benefits for Zhang Ruihong to understand the essence of art and shape the stage image in the future. After years of studying in drama school, Zhang Ruihong once missed the most prosperous period of Yue Opera in the 1980s, but also gave her a lot. It is because of her hard years of study and training that she has today's excellent understanding and comprehension of art. It is the influence of different styles of Yue Opera in Shanghai and Zhejiang that makes her have a comprehensive and complete understanding of Yue opera art. This is the reason why Zhang Ruihong, who just arrived in Shanghai, resolutely gave up going to the Yue Opera Theater immediately and was willing to sit on the bench for three years at the theater school first. For this choice, Zhang Ruihong never regretted: "the glory I missed is only temporary, but the accumulation I gained from it can benefit me a lot in my life."
"Heaven will bring great responsibility to this person. First of all, he must work hard, work hard and starve his body and skin." Opportunities are often very harsh for those who have lofty aspirations. In 1987, when Zhang Ruihong walked out of the gate of the theater school with great ambition and was ready to enjoy himself on the stage of his life, Yue Opera and even the whole traditional opera industry began to encounter its winter. In the long wait, many Shaoxing opera actors can't bear to be lonely and have changed careers. Zhang Ruihong, however, chose to stay in poverty with Yue opera. This is nearly a decade. In the past ten years, all she can do is to perform every classic play meticulously and strive to complete every performance perfectly. For her, flowers and applause are what every actor yearns for. However, a good actor with pursuit is looking forward to more than that. Although, at that time, she and her peers did not know when Yue opera would be brilliant again, she firmly believed that applause could be stopped for a while, but real art would not decline. For this reason, she is willing to watch. For ten years, it's a painful experience for any actor who has pursuit to constantly repeat the teacher's works and have nothing of his own. However, some people just painfully copy these stage images. Some people regard this kind of pain as a kind of tempering, a kind of nirvana. Zhang Ruihong believes that opportunities always favor those who are prepared, and any efforts will not be in vain. Although Zhu Yu, who was performed by her teacher, was in front of her. When she performed such famous dramas as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, biography of Li WA, Peacock Flying Southeast and beating golden branches, Zhang Ruihong was unwilling to imitate them step by step and insisted on integrating her understanding of the characters into her performance. She believes that if an actor wants to move the audience, he must first move himself. Her "Butterfly Lovers" and other plays are the classic plays of fan school, and her own "Butterfly Lovers", which not only has won the essence of the previous artists, but also has her own unique understanding of the characters.
While constantly improving the image of traditional classic art, Zhang Ruihong has never given up the pursuit of creating her own stage masterpiece. Therefore, she dares to challenge tradition and classics. Baoyu night sacrifice is a good example. In this less than 15 minute play, with her profound performance skills, the audience was moved by her fan Pai Baoyu, who is "infatuated, lonely and tender", thus breaking the impression that fan Pai is only good at creating loyal characters. This play has not only become Zhang Ruihong's repertoire since then, but also has been performed by many famous actors from foreign troupes, which shows how popular it is with the audience.
If "Baoyu night sacrifice" is Zhang Ruihong's brave breakthrough in the tradition of the genre, then in her later "snow, fishing and woodcutter", Zhu Maichen, who is proud and arrogant, makes people admire her excellent singing skills and her ability to create different types of characters.
Whether it's the well-known classic old plays or the newly edited plays with unique expression. Try again and again, explore step by step. Zhang Ruihong's art is becoming more and more mature in this process. At the same time, an idea in her heart is becoming increasingly clear - to break the tradition of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies in Yue opera, and to create an image of Xiaosheng in Yue opera which is totally different from the tradition, but does not deviate from the tradition. Therefore, we see the lively and lovely, frank and uninhibited Zhengde emperor in Meilong town.
Meilong town is a light comedy which is light and lively. however
