Acting works

From the late 1950s to the cultural revolution, Ma Changli was at the peak of his artistic career. At that time, his voice was clear and pure, and his lines were round and regular. Especially when he used "Sheng Yin", he was beautiful but not flowery, loud but not rigid, which had a strong artistic charm. At this stage, he mainly performed Tan and Yang's plays, such as Tan Mu Hui Ling, Da Tan ER and Wu Zixu, which started from Zhan Fan Cheng.

After the cultural revolution, Ma Changli performed more horse drama, such as "borrow Dongfeng", "ten old Anliu", "Ganlu Temple", "rouge baofold", "Zhao orphan", "a handful of snow" and so on, which satisfied the fans of horse drama.

Ma Changli is a very creative actor. He can give full play to the role of the performance on the basis of inheriting the predecessors, and has made great achievements. Before the cultural revolution, he played "Lu Jiachuan" in the modern drama "song of youth", played "Li Danian" as an underground Communist in "prairie beacon", played "Yang Zirong" in "Zhiqu laogangshan Diao", and played "Wen qijiuzi" in "Dujuan mountain", all of which were well received by the audience. As for his role as "Diao Deyi" in Shajiabang, he added a "glorious" image to the ranks of villains.

During the cultural revolution, in addition to playing Diao Deyi in Shajiabang, he also played Li Yuhe in red light, chief of staff in outwit tiger mountain and Ma Hongliang, an old worker in harbor. But at that time, the political climate required that "learning to act as a model opera should not be out of shape at all." no matter how great ma Changli's ability was, he had to "draw gourds according to the example.".

After the cultural revolution, Ma Changli played the role of "Guan Zhong" in the newly edited ancient drama "Guan Zhong worships the prime minister", which created a brand-new image of the ancient prime minister.

After the 1990s, Mr. Ma Changli moved to Hong Kong, but he was always concerned about the development of Peking Opera in the mainland. He often traveled between Hong Kong and the mainland, and enthusiastically guided young actors to inherit traditional opera. At the same time, he also went to the scene to guide and personally assist Beijing Opera lovers and Shanghai famous ticket Mr. Zhang Yu to organize actors and rehearse all of Shajiabang.

The road of Art

Mr. Ma Changli, who has the reputation of being a senior student in Liyuan, is now a national first-class actor in Beijing Peking opera academy. Mr. Ma is an old Beijing native. He was born in an ordinary family in the south of Beijing in the spring of 1930. Before the July 7th incident in 1937, Ma Changli, who was seven years old, was introduced to the famous Peking Opera "Rongchun society" class to study art. At the end of the period, he joined Liu Shengtong, a famous veteran of Yu school, and went on an extraordinary road to the peak of Peking Opera.

Good at tradition

At the beginning of the liberation, Ma Changli was in his prime. In order to further improve his art, he specially asked Mr. Ma Lianliang, one of the four famous Peking Opera talents, about his art. Mr. Ma, who has a good sense of talent, has long found that this is an art seedling that will become a great tool in the future. In the following 20 years, Mr. Ma, who had already been a master of Peking Opera, devoted himself to imparting his many masterpieces. At the same time, Mr. Tan Fuying, the third generation successor of the famous Tan School of Peking Opera, also saw Ma Changli's artistic talent and professional quality, and took the initiative to accept him as a disciple. Two famous pear garden masters accepted him as their apprentice at the same time, which became a "good story" of pear garden for a time.

Ma Changli was not satisfied with his endless pursuit of art. He asked the famous veteran artists Yang Baosen and Li Shaochun about art. At the same time, Mr. Xiao asked master Xi for advice.

As is known to all, Ma Changli's learning from Ma and zongtan is his real skill, but he especially likes another famous school of Peking Opera, Yang (Baosen) school. The "Yang School" was formed in the mid-1940s and matured in the early 1950s. Its main achievement lies in its distinctive singing style. Generally speaking, it is a new achievement created by Tan (Xinpei) and Yu (Shuyan). He tried to be steady and vigorous in his diction, which was praised by experts as "lingering sound, lasting for three days". Ma Changli was deeply touched by this, so he made such a profound comment on the Yang School: "Ma, Tan, Xi and Yang all taught me one after another, and Ma and Yang had the greatest influence on me. Although I have more energy to inherit the art of the Ma school, I have never forgotten the Yang School for many years. For example, the old dramas such as Wu Zixu, empty city plan, catching and releasing Cao and stele of Li Ling were all sung by Lu Zi of patriarchal Yang school. " It is the unique and memorable artistic style of Yang school that has always fascinated Mr. Ma Changli.

With the passage of time and constant stage experience, Ma Changli can easily perform the classic dramas of Ma school, such as Si Jin Shi, Shi Lao an Liu, Gan Lu Si, etc., and can also skillfully perform the famous dramas of Tan school, such as Wu Jia Po, FA men Si, er Jin gong, etc. He is more good at performing the representative plays of Yang school, such as lost empty chop, Wu Zixu and Sanjiadian. Parochial prejudice, the essence of different masters, the broadening of vision and the enrichment of artistic accomplishment are laid a solid foundation for Ma Changli to further broaden his way of drama.

Learn from others

When Ma Changli is mentioned, people will think of Diao Deyi, who was once popular in the modern drama Shajiabang in that special era. The villain of the cunning and insidious Kuomintang army was vividly interpreted by Ma Changli. It is praiseworthy that he boldly absorbs and uses the traditional classical school art to mold the characters in detail, which makes the characters very distinctive.

Especially in the two plays of "Zhidou" and "denouncing the enemy", Ma Changli almost integrates the natural and smooth style of Ma school, the mellow and straight style of Yu school, and the intoxicating charm of Yang school. It's really colorful, full of threads, ups and downs, and has the characteristics of excessive high and low bass without showing traces, which makes people endless aftertaste. These famous classical Arias were once popular in all parts of the country.

Ma Changli's artistic life can be said to be a praiseworthy extraordinary life. He explored, absorbed, melted and innovated in many aspects, and finally formed his own artistic style of inheriting Ma school, Tan school and Yang school, and finally formed his own characteristics of clear and mellow tone, pure and sweet voice, smooth transition between high and low voice, and relaxation. Experts commented that Mr. Ma's singing is euphemistic and delicate, deep emotion, pleasant and moving, full of strong artistic appeal. And the majority of fans, fans are aptly called "new horse school."

But on the afternoon of June 18, an urgent telegram came from Beijing, and Zhang Xuejin suddenly ran into a car accident and couldn't perform as scheduled. There was a lot of discussion in the Peking Opera Troupe, the organizers were on pins and needles, and the leaders of the troupe were even more anxious. Finally, the troupe invited Mr. Ma Changli from Beijing to Hong Kong. After receiving the telegram, Mr. Ma did not hesitate to postpone other performances. He flew to Hong Kong on the afternoon of the 19th and arrived in the evening. Due to time constraints, only a short break, that is, clean face makeup. When the current host announced: "Mr. Zhang Xuejin had a car accident and invited Mr. Ma Changli to come to the rescue site", the audience immediately applauded.

Ma Changli's two performances in Hong Kong were a complete success. On the third day, Ma Changli played Kou Zhun in the book of honest and upright officials. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was dressed up, he lost his voice and could not say a word. How to save this field? Everyone looks at each other!
