Art life

Study in drama school

In order to cultivate Yang Zhongyi, his father sent him to Shanxi opera school in 1977. There, he practiced March 9 in winter and March 5 in summer. He paid several times as much as the ordinary students. He developed excellent kung fu and a pure and bright "iron voice". After graduating from the opera school in 1979, he was admired by Jia Guilin, the head of Beilu Bangzi troupe and a famous performing artist, and Zhao Jingbo, the professor and vice president of China Opera School. He was trained and taught by himself. In 1991, Xinzhou North Road Bangzi troupe was founded, with Yang Zhongyi as its head. At that time, the opera market shrank, the opera industry was in recession, and the government only allocated 50% of the salary. As a national first-class actor, Yang Zhongyi's monthly salary was only seven or eight hundred yuan, while some of the other performers could only get more than three hundred yuan.

Creating cultural and artistic products

As the vice chairman of Shanxi Opera Association, Yang Zhongyi, the third generation leader of Beilu Bangzi, stands at the height of developing the cause of Beilu Bangzi and makes cultural and artistic products. At the beginning of the 20th century, in his second year as the head of Xinzhou Youth League, he began to create a new play "incense". In addition to the director, the writers, composers and actors of the new play were all professional members of the troupe. In terms of the use of talents, he took the method of training in practice and improving in practice. When he encountered problems in his creation, he discussed and studied them together and worked out solutions together. When the troupe was uncertain about the problems, he led full-time personnel to Beijing and Taiyuan to ask experts for advice. In this way, they not only improve their talents and talents, but also train their talents in practice. His decision has achieved good results: after taking part in the eighth "China Population Culture Award" for "fragrant fire" written and performed by Beilu Bangzi Youth League, all of the nine actors, including screenwriter, director, composer, dance beauty designer, won the award. After that, "incense" went on to win the national "five one project" award. Xu Zhengtai, a national first-class director from Nanjing, said excitedly: "with the least investment, the shortest time and the simplest stage installation," incense "won the biggest prize in the country. Needless to say, a municipal troupe, even a provincial troupe, can't do it. " A drama that won the national "five one project" award cost only more than 200000 yuan! Under the leadership of Yang Zhongyi, the performers of Xinzhou North Road Bangzi Youth League overcame many difficulties with their team spirit and pushed their own plays to a new height. To achieve this kind of achievement has soaked the hard work of every cast member. On the night after the performance of "incense" in Jinjing, everyone in the crew had tears in their eyes.

Leading actor

As a leading actor, Yang Zhongyi is not only admired for his unremitting pursuit of art, but also moved by his personality. In 2002, Shanxi provincial dramas, skits and plays were about to be performed. Yang Zhongyi took the initiative to give this opportunity to other actors, and launched the modern drama "sister mountain" and the new drama "wife exploration" written and performed by the troupe. He only composed music in "sister mountain". In this performance, "Shan Mei Zi" won the "best play Award" and all the awards including screenwriter, director, composition, dance beauty, accompaniment and actor performance; in addition, "detective wife" also won the play award, actor performance award and accompaniment award. This performance not only introduced the actors, but also the repertoire: the strong local flavor of "Mountain Girl" has won the praise of the audience, and has become the reserved repertoire of the troupe's performance in the countryside. In 2003, shanmeizi was reprocessed and renamed the story of fengqiyan. It won the gold medal of the 11th "China Population Culture Award" and the first prize of actor performance.

The troupe is not only a performing group, but also a creative group. Based on the consideration of his career, Yang Zhongyi deeply realized that the lack of directors in the troupe is an important problem. As a result, he decided to transplant the national excellent drama Hua Ziliang to Shanxi Province in 2004, with two experienced actors as directors. On the one hand, he chose to transplant Hua Ziliang to challenge himself to a higher artistic level; on the other hand, he wanted to let himself carry the play, cultivate "local" directors, and make the troupe a creative group integrating screenwriters, directors, composers, dancers and more excellent actors. After this practice, the vacancy of the director of the troupe was finally made up. Hua Ziliang not only won the first prize of excellent performance and the first prize of leading role, but also won the first prize of director.

Head of the troupe

Yang Zhongyi understands that actors are the carrier of the type of play and the repertoire. Therefore, after he became the head of the troupe, he always put the training of young actors in a very important position. He arranged young actors to participate in every opera performance and every "Apricot Flower Award" competition in the whole province, and the national competition performance was held when there was an opportunity. Nine actors in the troupe won the National Award and six actors won the "Apricot Flower Award". Many young actors have been trained and improved by participating in various performance contests and rehearsals, and the whole performance level has gradually developed into a echelon.

Career inheritance

In the inheritance of his career, Yang Zhongyi respects his teachers, is diligent and eager to learn, and has an open mind to ask for advice. His leading role in "fleeing from the country" is the result of seeking advice from Yang gengquan, an old generation artist of Beilu Bangzi; mother worship has a heritage relationship with Zhai Xiaoan, an old artist; killing the temple learns from the performance style of Guo ZHANGAO, an old generation famous actor After he was admitted to the graduate class of China Academy of traditional Chinese opera in 2004, he learned from Li Wanlin, the older generation of performing artist of Beilu Bangzi, and tried to figure out the voice and tune making skills of "Wanlin tune". He not only studied with great concentration from his predecessors, but also learned from Mr. Wang Jinglu, a famous Peking opera performing artist, and Xiao Jianzeng, a direct disciple of Zhou Xinfang, a Peking Opera master. He learned from Mr. Wang the "Six Harmonies sword technique" in the stone show of Cuiping mountain, from which he learned Wang's excellent performing art. Although he is old and rare, he still has a good hand Through Xiao Lao's demonstration, he absorbed the artistic nutrition of the "Qi school" in his performance and recitation, and made up for the deficiency of Beilu Bangzi in its emphasis on singing and its extensive characterization. After synthesizing many factors, he won the large-scale costume play Song Jiang, which he participated in creating. In Song Jiang, he combines the generosity of Beilu Bangzi with the elegance of Peking opera performance art, which improves the artistic level of Beilu Bangzi and makes a bold exploration for the development of Beilu Bangzi.

Postgraduate experience

At the same time, Yang Zhongyi, as a graduate student of China Academy of traditional Chinese opera, was invited to Tianjin to attend the concert of "memory of the quintessence of the century" and perform "Mother Worship". He also went to Beijing to perform in the "air theater" sponsored by the Publicity Department of Beijing Municipal Party committee and CCTV, Bangzi concerts organized by the national Bangzi Art Research Association, the 10th anniversary report performance of the graduate class of China Academy of traditional Chinese opera and so on, conducted artistic exchanges with the leading soldiers of all major operas in China, such as "fleeing from the country", "Han Gong Jing Hun" and "worshiping mother", which played a leading role in Beilu Bangzi's going to the whole country. Through continuous learning and artistic practice, Yang Zhongyi's theoretical understanding level has also been greatly improved. His papers, such as "on the beauty of the transformation of opera art", "a glimpse of stage action" and "I play Hua Ziliang", reflect his unique views on opera art at a higher level, and are highly praised by drama experts, professors and scholars all over the country. Among them, "on the change of opera art"
