The road of Art

In 1979, when Chen Shumin just graduated from Luoyang Art School, she did well in singing, reading, doing and playing, but because she was too thin to play with others, she had no chance to play the leading role after she was assigned to Henan Opera Troupe. At that time, her group of students such as Li Jinzhi and Li Shujian came to the fore, but she was left out in the cold. She was unwilling. A year later, she was transferred to the second Henan Opera Troupe. At that time, the troupe had to rehearse "Qin Xuemei", which she had learned when she was in the troupe. She wanted to play the heroine Qin Xuemei in her heart, but she was afraid that the leaders would not like her. So she risked her life to sing in the corner for three or four hours every day. The crisp and heartrending singing finally moved the leaders of the regiment, and finally assigned Qin Xuemei to her. She seized this rare opportunity and devoted herself to it. She was so tired that her eyes collapsed, but she didn't care.

With Qin Xuemei, she took part in the youth Opera Competition of Henan Province, and was highly praised by experts and the audience, especially Yan lipin, the famous performing artist of Henan opera. After that, she played the leading role in more than ten classical and modern dramas, such as flower candle hate, tears in my aunt, cowherd and weaver girl, Melia azedarach, lovers in the world and Heiwa's marriage. Chen Shumin is also known as the "star of tragedy" in the Central Plains because she is good at shaping women who shine the brilliance of human nature in suffering. In 1992, Chen Shumin, who worked in the second Henan Opera Troupe in Luoyang, won the "plum blossom" award of Chinese drama by virtue of his "lovers in the world"!

Leave the stage

Just as Chen Shumin's career is booming and people are looking forward to her making more brilliant achievements on the stage of Henan opera, she has made an unexpected decision that she wants to leave the stage of Henan opera. Chen Shumin, who was the deputy head of the second Henan Opera Troupe at that time, only heard an expert say to her: "you can't play too narrow. You should broaden your horizons a little bit and go out and break through... " She made up her mind to further study in Colleges and universities, improve her music theory and find a new way of development. To this end, she and the then leader in charge of a stalemate.

Back on stage

Referring to the past, Chen Shumin, who has entered middle age, said with a smile: "at that time, he was too young and reckless. He didn't know how to use a good way to do the leadership work. He just went to the National Opera class of the Vocal Music Department of Henan University for three years without any pay. He didn't look back when he was informed." If six years in Luoyang Art school laid Chen Shumin's Opera foundation, then three years in Henan University laid Chen Shumin's music theory and vocal music foundation. After graduation, ambitious Chen Shumin went straight to the capital Beijing with all her skills and applied for the General Administration opera company. At that time, when she took the exam, she sang the aria from the foreign opera Rigoletto, sang the excerpt from the Chinese opera white haired girl, and performed the dance Mulan GUI, which shocked the examiners. Everyone said with one voice, "it's really hard to be an actor who can sing, dance and perform well like this.". Soon, the General Administration opera company accepted her.

After joining the troupe, Chen Shumin, with her sweet and beautiful appearance, broad voice and easy-to-use dancing posture, has starred in the opera "luhuabai, kapok red", "yuniaozhan", "children of the party", "song of the sun", "battle of the ancient city with wild fire and spring breeze", "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" and the opera fragments "Baimaonv", "Liusanjie" and "Hongxia" The opera stage began to shine. What is most praiseworthy is that in 2000, Zhang Jigang, the famous director of our country, created a large-scale musical "white lotus", which reflects the life of ethnic minorities. At that time, she selected actors all over the country. Because musical is different from opera, as long as the actors can sing and perform. Musical requires that actors can not only sing and perform, but also dance. Especially in this musical with ethnic themes, actors are required to have all-round quality. At that time, Zhang Jigang was not satisfied with the choice of more than a dozen singers in China. Either he could sing but could not dance, or he could dance and had a bad voice. When he was almost desperate, someone recommended Chen Shumin to him and sent the CD of Chen Shumin's performance "white haired girl" to Zhang Jigang. Zhang Jigang opened it and just looked at it for more than a minute. He patted his thigh and said, "just her!".

White lotus, the first large-scale national musical in China, shows a legend of ethnic minorities. Chen Shumin created the image of Bai Lian with her beautiful appearance, clear voice and graceful dancing posture, which made the audience moved by her miserable life experience, stubborn character and passionate feelings. In particular, the beautiful and weeping melodies such as "a girl has a dream" and "let my sister love my brother again" deeply touched the audience and had a strong artistic appeal. Chen Shumin also won the second plum in Chinese drama circle in 2000 with the musical "white lotus"!
