Character experience
Huo Yong's artistic experience is rich and wonderful. Not to mention that he has performed as a soloist in such large-scale performances as the "century classic" music and dance epic "Dongfanghong" and the traditional repertoire "Long March suite" of Beijing Military Region. His outstanding achievements in winning gold and first prizes in various domestic professional competitions are enough to prove his singing strength.
It's a coincidence that Huo Yong went to school vocal music. When he was a student, he was always a sports fan. He spent most of his junior high school and senior high school in the school sports team. At that time, his dream was to be a star or something. But later, because of an occasional school performance, she sang "Grandma's Penghu Bay" on stage, which was favored by the teacher and recommended to apply for the Sichuan Conservatory of music. From then on, he set foot on the road of learning music. Although Huo Yong's music enlightenment education was relatively late, he studied very hard. All the vocal music teachers who taught him felt that Huo Yong had a good sense of music, and his voice was clean and elastic. In 1988, Huo Yong graduated from the Department of vocal music of Sichuan Conservatory of music with excellent results and was admitted to the art troupe of the Political Department of Chengdu Military Region. Since then, he has stepped into the ranks of the military stage. This successful transformation is naturally inseparable from Huo Yong's artistic talent and hard work. However, even if he has diligence and talent, he still has to go through many hardships and accept several failures. Huo Yong is no exception. When his career is booming, he has the experience of failure that makes him unforgettable.

match
That was when Huo Yong participated in the "Bubugao" Cup National TV Grand Prix in 2000. In the preliminaries and the second round, he passed all the way and scored far ahead. However, due to the long time arranged for the competition, days of fatigue and air conditioning problems, the confident Huo Yong had a bad cold the day before the final. This event is a bolt from the blue for a vocal player who is facing a professional competition, because at this time how reluctantly it will be thousands of miles away from his usual professional level, but how many times in his life can such a competition have for a singer? Huo Yong insisted on his beloved career, but he only stepped onto the stage by holding on to the railings beside the court. It is not hard to imagine that although he finished the whole work, he failed in the last treble. In this way, Huo Yong stepped down the stage with tears, and received the excellent award certificate of this competition dejectedly.
In the following days, Huo Yong did not complain, but calmly analyzed his own psychological state and voice skills during the competition, and drew up a training plan that ordinary people could not bear to improve their professional skills. Professor Li Xinchang, Huo Yong's tutor and Vocal Music Department of the Central Conservatory of music, praised him for his unyielding research spirit. Every time he talked about his beloved disciple, Professor Li couldn't help giving Huo Yong a lot of praise words, such as modesty, calmness, firmness, perseverance, thoughtfulness and so on. He thought Huo Yong could achieve such success in vocal music In addition to his deep understanding of music style and spirit, he has a good grasp of music style. During the two years from 2001 to 2002, he won two first prizes in the national professional vocal music competition (the first Golden Bell award of Chinese music, the first prize in the vocal music competition of Chinese art songs), and one second prize (the second prize of professional bel canto group in the 10th National Young Singers competition of CCTV).
In art, the pursuit of perfection is the constant requirement of Huo Yong. It is Huo Yong's wish to promote bel canto which is not accepted by ordinary people through his own singing. If we can let the audience have a new understanding of Bel Canto after listening to his singing, and like this kind of singing, it will be his greatest happiness. He said: Bel Canto should follow the path of "Popularization" and let the public understand it. The appreciation of the audience's taste is not to blindly cater to it, but to guide it. This is the responsibility of Huo Yong's pursuit of art.
Main works
In 2003, Haizheng song and dance troupe prepared to rehearse the musical "equatorial rain", in which Huo Yong decided to play the role of "Yao Han Tang". Mr. Yao is an overseas Chinese in his 80s. It's really difficult for Huo Yong, who is still in his 30s, to find out a person's movement, posture and manner of speaking. In order to get into the role as soon as possible, Huo Yong observes the expressions and movements of the old people around him in the Navy compound every morning and evening. During rehearsal, he takes the initiative to seek the help of the director team. He often recites his lines in the rehearsal field and at home and mumbles to himself. Even his walking posture and speaking tone are already the feeling of an old man. Colleagues joked that Huo Yong is really like an "aging" young singer now. Some people don't understand why an actor with capital like him still "indulges" in a supporting role. Huo Yong often laughs at this and answers: young people like me can't let the old man fall. I'm playing a musical, and it's my highest goal to strive to give people the enjoyment of beauty as a whole. I don't just want to sing good songs and play small roles on the stage. What's more, I can't let the audience feel separated from my singing and performance. So I have to be strict with myself. He also said: Bel canto has many advantages, such as strong penetration, wide range, rich timbre, beautiful fluency and so on. But there is a weakness that it is not easy to sing clearly when singing Chinese, especially in musicals, where the collocation of words and sentences and the characteristics of rhythm change greatly. In order to play well the characters in musicals, we should not only grasp the soul of the characters, express their thoughts, thoughts and feelings on the stage, but also sing the lyrics clearly, so that the audience can hear what they are singing What do you mean? Only by unifying "enunciation, cavity and emotion" and performing "really seeing, listening and feeling", can your bel canto sing conquer the audience. Huo Yong's efforts succeeded.
Award winning record
He graduated from Sichuan Conservatory of music with a bachelor's degree and studied under Professor Li Xinchang. He has won the first prize in the vocal music competition of the Ministry of culture, the Golden Bell award of the China Music Association, the first prize in the "kayev" international vocal music competition in China, and the national Gold Award for MTV "the road to Bashan".
Character evaluation
The opera "equatorial rain" was a great success in the end. It was selected as the primary play of the "national stage art project" in the fourth selection of the national stage art project, the highest honor of Chinese stage art. Therefore, Huo Yong won the first prize of the performance of the 8th National Military literature and Art Association.
In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, as a singer of the art troupe of the Political Department of the Navy, Huo Yong was invited by the comrades in arms art troupe of the Beijing Military Region to participate in the performance activity of the troupe of "Long March group songs" to "take the long march road again". In less than half a year, the members of the troupe traveled more than 20000 Li, experienced nine provinces (municipalities directly under the central government), performed more than 40 times, and received great attention The line was warmly welcomed by the masses. Huo Yong was the baritone lead singer of "four crossing Chishui and a strange soldier". His humorous, confident, free and easy manner, superb voice skills and fiery passion conquered all the audience. An old Red Army man said excitedly after hearing his song that he sang the heroic spirit of the Red Army's brave soldiers, smart and flexible fighting style and revolutionary optimism.
In Huo Yong's song collection, there are many works reflecting the life experience, thoughts and feelings of soldiers. Once, after a performance in the Nanhai army, a leader of the army excitedly said to Huo Yong: when you sing "flying ambition" and "song of sea and air guards", your passionate emotions infected us and filled our hearts with infinite power. Thinking about Huo Yong's initial dream of becoming a sports star and today's singer, he has experienced countless joys after success, setbacks and trials after failure, laughter and tears. For Huo Yong, who pursues art unremittingly, all these may be life
