Guan Dongtian
essential information
Character experience
Guan Dongtian loved Peking Opera very much since he was a child. He was gifted. Later, he studied with his father and became an old worker. In 1972, when Guan Dongtian was 16 years old, he began to learn drama, and his voice became thick and hoarse. His father, Guan Zhengming, a well-known veteran actor of Peking Opera, knows that his son's voice changing period has begun. Voice change is the most important juncture in the artistic career for Peking Opera actors, especially for the actors of literary opera. If you don't practice well on the stage, you can hardly become a leading actor.
Guan Zhengming, who received strict training from childhood, has rich practical experience. He carefully guides his son to prevent him from falling on the starting line of Peking Opera. At that time, Guan Dongtian's brother-in-law had several students who would play the huqin. They often got together to practice and accompanied Guan Dongtian.
He was admitted to Wuhan Peking Opera Troupe in 1978.
In 1981, under the leadership of his father, Guan Dongtian performed in Shanghai, including several traditional dramas, such as "beating the BRICs", "red maned horse", "battle peace" and "exploring the mother of four brothers". The natural and unrestrained typhoon and good performance quality made Guan Dongtian accepted by the Shanghai audience.
In 1984, he was officially transferred to Shanghai Peking Opera Theater, where he created and performed the image of Qianlong in the opera "Qianlong goes down to Jiangnan".
In 1990, Guan Dongtian left the Peking opera stage temporarily due to injury and went to Hong Kong for development.
In 1999, Guan Dongtian joined the drama group of Zhenguan grand event, a national stage project, and created a vivid image of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He was brave and unrestrained, with imperial demeanor and humorous civilian color. Guan Dongtian shows Tang Taizong's strength when playing polo, his family's easygoing when going to his uncle's house for dinner, and his solemnity when dealing with state affairs in the golden palace. He shows his anger at Wei Zheng's admonition, and his subsequent remorse and other psychological changes in a rich level. The details are vivid and delicate, revealing the rich feelings of the characters.

hobby
Guan Dongtian doesn't like to explain his behavior in a noble way. He says that for Peking Opera, it's just two words: like. In the industry, Guan Dongtian is recognized as a gifted actor, as the saying goes, "the grandmaster enjoys his food.". His grandfather is a master of Pingtan, his father Guan Zhengming is a famous Yu school old student of Wuhan Peking Opera Troupe, and his mother Li Qianghua is a very popular Cheng School Qingyi. Influenced by his childhood and without formal training, Guan Dongtian was influenced by this kind of family education and had a strange fate with Peking Opera. Even when he was young, as an educated youth in Hanyang, Guan Dongtian was still determined to be a professional actor.
On November 24, 1981, Guan Dongtian and Zhou Jiu, who had been in love for more than a year, got married in a simple way in Shanghai. On the second day of his marriage, Guan Zhengming performed on the stage of today's Yifu stage of the former labor theater. His father and the theater manager proposed to let his then unknown son sing the big axis. On that day, only 40% of the tickets were sold, but the scene was "bombed". The next day, more than 2000 tickets were sold out, and people lined up to buy tickets. At that time, Guan Dongtian, 25, became popular in this way. In the following year, Guan Dongtian was transferred from Wuhan Peking Opera Theater to Shanghai Peking Opera Theater, which has enjoyed a great reputation since then.
In 1990, due to injuries and various reasons, Guan Dongtian left Shanghai Peking Opera Theater to start a business in Hong Kong and settled down for a period of time. Guan Dongtian worked in real estate, media, red wine and steel. At first, his life was very difficult, but he went hand in hand with his wife. In the end, Guan Dongtian became a successful businessman. He runs a business company and holds a Hong Kong passport. However, his sense of success in business can not dilute his feelings for Peking Opera.
In 1994, "Cao Cao and Yang Xiu" was performed again. At the invitation of Shanghai Peking Opera Theater, Guan Dongtian returned to Shanghai again and performed the play "Jiuchang". From then on, monk Guan Dongtian began his "golden partner" years.
tenor
Guan Dongtian is still a businessman. However, monk Guan Dongtian Changrong has cooperated with three major operas in succession, which has established his position as one of the best in the field of Peking Opera. Guan Dongtian is most admired by his peers and audience for his broad and mellow timbre and elegant singing style. Because of this golden voice, Guan Dongtian is known as the "Opera Tenor" in Beijing Opera circle. From the earliest "Qianlong under Jiangnan" and "pan Yueqiao" to today's "Zhenguan grand event" and "incorruptible officials in Jackie Chan", Guan Dongtian's singing can be described as perfect.
Unlike many famous Peking opera artists, Guan Dongtian's performances are mostly new dramas from his debut to his return to the stage. In this regard, Guan Dongtian admitted that he preferred to play new dramas.
In 2006, Zhou Libo, who failed in business, was brought back to the stage from the sea of business. He worked hard to get the performance license of Shanghai style Qingkou and served as his artistic director.
On March 15, 2010, Zhou Libo fell out with Guan Dongtian, the artistic director of all his performances and the "benefactor" who made him popular. They completely "parted ways" and broke up. This position may be taken over by himself or his "own people". In addition, Zhou Libo's agent Zhou Yi also left him.
Love life
Guan Dongtian's wife, Zhou Jiu, turned out to be a TV news anchor. In the early 1990s, Guan Dongtian, who went to Hong Kong before Zhou Jiu, returned to Shanghai after three years in Hong Kong, and then arranged for Zhou Jiu to go to Hong Kong. It was not until 1999 that the couple reunited in Shanghai. Zhou Jiu became a full-time wife, one in and one out. During this period, Guan Dongtian did one thing,
