brief introduction

Ordinary actor

I asked her to talk about opera, art and life. She said that in the drama world where famous artists gather, she will always be a student, an ordinary actor who never makes public or does not want to make public. Therefore, she can only talk about her feelings and feelings. So, there is this rambling article.

Love opera since childhood

Wei Junying was born in Shenlong Town, Yuzhou City, Henan Province. Shenlong is the famous capital of Jun porcelain, surrounded by mountains, porcelain kilns everywhere, smoke, a mysterious atmosphere. It is said that only the soil and water here can produce precious Jun porcelain. Wei Junying has been in love with the mountains, rivers, local conditions and customs here since childhood. In her childhood, she wore two pigtails and ran up to DALONGSHAN with her friends. She played, sang and danced to her heart's content. She ran to Jun kiln and watched curiously how the yellow mud turned into Jun porcelain products with bright glaze and unique shape under quenching. The simple folk customs in the mountain area and the diligent nature of the mountain people made her understand life, diligence, persistence and self-confidence earlier. Although shencuan is a mountainous area, it is a fertile land of culture. The local fire temple and Wenchang Pavilion have left the footprints of the patronage of the literati of the past dynasties. Shencuan people love to listen to and sing opera. The killers in Jun porcelain workshop are small troupes that sing opera. They have a wide range of operas and are very popular. When she was in primary school, Wei Junying liked to follow the adults to watch "a handful of clay" opera. She was so intoxicated that sometimes she couldn't help dancing and learning to sing. With her artistic talent of singing and dancing, she soon became the backbone of the school's literature and art. She often took part in performances or competitions and started to have a small reputation. People who have seen her show all say: this girl is smart and smart, and she is an actor's material.

The civilian born Wei Junying is petite, peaceful, independent and has a strong affinity, but her heart is full of strong self-confidence. At the critical moment, she can show a kind of passion and momentum that is not in harmony with her figure and character, which makes people respect her.

Art career

One year, when the troupe performed "Da Ji Zhuang" in other places, the main actor who played Huang Guiying asked for leave due to an urgent matter and was unable to show up. The head of the troupe was so anxious that he proposed to change the play. However, the theater manager and the audience did not agree and they were deadlocked. There is a jargon in the drama circle: saving a scene is like fighting a fire, and mending a play is like mending a pot. At this time, Wei Junying introduced himself to the leaders of the league with extraordinary courage. Say, let me try. The next morning's performance is only ten hours away. She has never played Huang Guiying. How can she meet the challenge! I saw that she was in no hurry, recalled the singing movements, cooperated with the zither player and drummer silently, and quietly walked on the stage by herself for a whole night. Everyone was moved by her spirit, but also pinched a sweat for her. The performance was a success. She not only plays the character completely, but also has many own understanding and creativity to the role. From then on, "Da Ji Zhuang" has become her regular play. Huang Guiying, played by Wei Junying, with her deep experience of the characters, grasps the richness and complexity of the characters, integrates the performance and singing of modern elements, fully displays the characters' inner feelings of sadness and resentment, fully displays the fierce struggle between conspiracy and love, and fully demonstrates the national character of Chinese women's persistent pursuit of happiness and love in order to break through the feudal system Radiate new brilliance.

In 1998, the troupe's leader asked her to choose the role of a new play, Daming soul. He read the script over and over again, thought that he didn't have a suitable role, and consciously proposed to play the accompaniment. Some people do not understand: put the role does not play, what kind of singing accompaniment. Wei Junying believes that accompaniment is also a very important through line with the development of the whole drama. She is willing to sing behind the scenes, arrive on time every rehearsal, meticulous. As a result, the accompaniment of the play won the first place in the provincial drama competition.

Dedication

What spirit is this? This is the spirit of the overall situation and the awareness of the overall situation. At the critical moment, we don't consider personal gains and losses, only consider the overall interests. At the moment of fame and fortune, he is willing to retreat behind the scenes instead of pursuing fame and fortune for himself. Although it is a trivial matter, what emerges from Wei Junying is his artistic conscience, his spirit of dedication, and the sublimation of his spirit and spiritual realm.

Wei Junying said: actors need to accumulate, need to accumulate life, need to accumulate culture, need to accumulate art, need to accumulate forever.

Although she has a weak cultural foundation, she likes learning and reading. Read classic works, drama theory, history of drama development, singing of old artists, various excellent scripts, modern novels and magazines. She has a calm personality. She is not willing to waste time and wants to spend more time on reading. Reading a dream of Red Mansions, she once wept for the fate of many characters. She wrote down many wise sayings, poems and Fu in the book and often recited them, striving to help her career as an actor.

Solid foundation

A weak woman, a pair of delicate fingers, have great artistic potential. On the stage, she looks handsome and has a free and easy body. She sings, reads and plays with great tension. In the drama "blocking the horse", Yang Bajie, who is played by her, is the first to win people's attention. She plays a handsome and sharp Yang Bajie, who is witty and vivid; Mu Guiying, who is played in "five generations of volunteers", is valiant, generous, firm and soft, generous, brave and heroic, but also has the unique charm and delicacy of women. Her clear emotional grasp, affectionate singing and neat posture are praised by the audience and experts. Therefore, she deserves to be awarded the first prize of "the first China Henan Opera Art Festival". She plays both traditional and modern dramas. She can sing and perform martial arts dramas. She can not only perform female characters, but also Huadan, Shuai Dan, laodan and daoma Dan. She can not only perform baby boy, but also Xiaosheng and wusheng. She has played the role of Hongniang in copy the red, Qin Ying in three cry hall, Qin Xianglian in the case of Guiling beauty, Yan Shi in qingfengting, kumei in hunduan Shanghe, Liu Jinding in golden beach, etc. Different characters, different professions, different personalities, she plays with great personality, characteristics and brilliance. He has successively won the "Xiangyu cup Art Award", "ten famous actors of Henan Opera in today's China" excellent performance award, the first prize of the eighth drama competition in Henan Province, and the first prize of the ninth drama competition in Henan Province. When people praise her as a "good actor with a wide range of acting skills", Wei Junying will say with a cool smile: relying on the accumulation on the stage, constantly accumulating. If an actor wants to create a brilliant and distinctive character, he should not only rely on singing and performance, but also rely on the accumulation of culture and knowledge and solid foundation. Wei Junying said: after receiving a role, I first understand and experience it, and then grasp and create it. Creation is the highest realm, and when we reach this realm, the characters will be clearly displayed on the stage.

Eternal confidence

Self confidence is a state of mind, a spirit and a belief in life. Wei Junying's condition is not very superior, even does not have too many advantages, but she is very confident. This kind of self-confidence is often not shown in the appearance, but deeply buried in the heart.

However, she was not discouraged in her career, and she was in a difficult situation in her life. She believes that she can go through one obstacle after another and finally achieve success. When she became a national first-class actress and was elected deputy to the 12th people's Congress of Zhengzhou City, many friends congratulated her, saying: "honor is temporary, only" faith "is eternal. "

Facing challenges

In 1999, young Henan Opera Troupe of Henan Province was invited to Taiwan for exchange performances. The play was determined to be qingfengting, starring Li Shujian, a young performing artist of Henan opera, and Wei Junying was decided to play the role of he in the play. Wei Junying is once again facing challenges. First, the Qing opera is a representative play often performed by Li Shujian, whose role as Zhang yuanxiu has reached a high level. Second, she has never played laodan. It is often said that every other line is like a mountain. I am not familiar with the trade, but I have no choice but to deal with it with all my strength. Relying on hard work and accumulation on one hand, Wei Junying began to read and look up materials, gradually became familiar with and mastered many background materials of the play, and deepened his understanding of the plot and he's part. In order to create the image of a blind old woman, she began to experience and observe life. She can follow a similar old woman on the street for a long distance and master the key movements and expressions of the old man. Wei Junying's performance of He Shi, which is similar in shape and in spirit, is a great success. When she gave her first performance in Taiwan at the Taipei Grand Theater, she was full of passion, singing and devotion. She raised, looked forward to, and lived up to a blind mother
