Ren binger

Ren binger

Ren bing'er is a famous Cantonese Opera actress in Hong Kong. Her nickname is "little girl". She is called "little girl elder sister" in the industry. She is from Nanhai, Guangdong Province. Her elder sister is Ren Jianhui, a famous Cantonese Opera actress, and her husband is Shi Yanzi. Her first play is "a dream in the Peony Pavilion". Ren bing'er, together with "Er Bang Hua Dan", such as Zhu Rihong, Li Xiangqin and Tan Qianhong, is called the ninth elder sister.

Character experience

Ren Bing was born in 1931. He was five years old. He came to Macao from Guangzhou, where he was born, and lived in Nanwan

Qingping Theater

Grew up, studied in

St. Rosa girls' school

. She has loved Cantonese Opera since she was a child. Her second sister, Ren Jianhui, is the actress of Cantonese opera. Although she is a famous actress, she has always opposed her acting. When she was 11 years old, she took advantage of her sister's performance in other places and set foot in pear garden. At that time, the unmarried wife of he Fanfan, Xiao manxia, took her to perform at Nanwan amusement park. The troupe was led by he Fanfan and Deng Biyun.

Ren binger grew up with her second sister Ren Jianhui in Macao's Qingping theater. After three years of schooling, she began to set foot in Pear Garden at the age of 11. She didn't get any special treatment because of Ren's fame. She went from Mei Xiang's role as an enterprise to Mei Xiang's leader. After a few more dialogues, she was attracted by Deng Biyun and led her to leave Xinsheng opera company. She was promoted from "Mei Xiang tou" to the third Huadan. In 1956, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian formed the "xianfengming Opera Troupe". She became the second Huadan and established a stable position.

As far as the banner of the official seal of Huadan is concerned, the elder sister Xi has not taken on the responsibility. Looking up online materials, Ren binger has only been doing the official printing of Huadan two times. One time, she went to Nanyang with Huang Chaowu to perform "killing the dragon and meeting the immortals" in 1954, and the other time, she went to America with Deng Biyun in 1971. She has never been the official printing of Huadan on the stage again, and Ren binger knows it. In the 1950s, famous actors went out to Nanyang as if they were stars. In those years, the Korean War led to a sharp rise in the price of gum and a huge increase in the income of Singaporeans. As a result, Cantonese Opera benefited and flourished. Many famous actors, such as Luo Jianlang and Yu Lizhen, flocked to this place. It was not until the emergence of films and television that Cantonese Opera gradually declined.

Her husband is Shi Yanzi, a famous actress. They are one of the model couples in Liyuan. She is amiable, courteous and will never retire.

Artistic experience

She has never been a teacher formally. Except for her sister's occasional guidance, she has been cheating on her teacher to teach herself since acting. She started from Mei Xiang, the lowest character in Cantonese opera, and then rose to "two gang Huadan" step by step.

In the mid-1940s, Ren Jianhui and Chen Yannong formed Macao's longevity class

Xinsheng

After she joined, she mainly performed with her sister. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, she moved to Hong Kong with "Xinsheng". Since then, she has taken root in Hong Kong and performed continuously. In 1956, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian formed the famous "xianfengming opera company". Ren binger was promoted to "two gang Huadan" and his first play was "Peony Pavilion dream". Until the dissolution of "xianfengming" in 1968, she mainly performed in the class, during which she took part in the famous dramas such as "nine heaven Xuannv", "three year cry erlangqiao", "empress flower", "Purple hairpin story", "Peony Pavilion dream" and so on.

In the 1970s, she became the "two gang king" in the drama industry. The famous Cantonese opera troupes we have participated in include "qinghongjia", "Longfeng", "songxinsheng", etc. In 1979, under her elder sister's persuasion, she joined Changshou BANBA "xiaofengming opera company" to become its evergreen leaf.

In her 40 years of acting career, although she has been repeatedly lobbied to play the role of "Zhengyin", she has always adhered to "Zhengyin"

The second Gang

I'm not moved. Her only two performances of "Zhengyin" were performed in other places. In May 2002, she went to Southeast Asia with Huang Chaowu to perform "killing the dragon and meeting the immortal" and in July 1, she went to America with Deng Biyun.

Decades later, Ren bing'er played the same role and did a good job as the second heroine. At that time, the overseas Chinese daily held an election, just like the most popular leading actor and supporting actor is now elected every year. Ren bing'er got the nickname of "two Gang Wang", which is a good reputation and recognition. It also seems like a golden bell cover. On the stage, she once slipped away quietly, stepped back a few steps, didn't cough a few times, and soon returned to Xiaoyu's side naturally to continue to "serve" Of course, the acting skills are better than before. You can go on stage without watching the script Ren binger said during the interview. On the night of the performance, she improvised the old drama "practice makes perfect".

Characters and deeds

Lament the reality

"At that time, we did it in Singapore's grand World Amusement Park. There was a show in the evening and the studio received it well. The class leader invited us to eat papaya stewed with snow fungus in the evening, and then went to other places to go to the port. Later, when I went back to Singapore, my grades were a little poor. At that time, Lao Xi didn't even give you papaya skin. It's realistic to be a man, especially in our business If the audience doesn't like it, it means they don't like it. I think the audience treat me mediocre, or I have a poor purpose in life, and I don't know what social activities I didn't go to, such as sleeping and drinking tea. "Sister Ren also said plainly that I am not good at social intercourse and I am in the wrong business. 」

Ren binger has been in the arts for more than half a century. She says she is not sociable, but she has earned a group of good sisters. In 1964, she married Tan Qianhong, Li Xiangqin and others, known as "the ninth elder sister", and even made a joint venture to shoot "the phoenix of nine cities"; 43 years later, on the night of the performance of "50 years of Huansha", her good sister Tan Qianhong came to join the show in person, and Li Xiangqin, who was the first of the nine elder sisters, also sent a flower basket to congratulate her.

"After I came back from the port, Ruan Bo, Li's stage manager, once invited me to be a regular photographer to film Lin Jiasheng, but I didn't do it. I know my own business. The most important thing for me is the box office. I want to win the audience's favor for you. However, I think the audience treat me in an ordinary way, and it's a heavy burden for me to be a genuine Huadan, so I refused. At that time, the bailidian theater (which has been demolished) required every actor to share the tickets, and he could not help the class leader to share them. "If you don't get a ticket, you can't make a living. If you don't get a book, you can't make a living. Fortunately, I have this line of work, otherwise I don't know how to survive. In the end, Cantonese Opera fed her.

Heartache Cantonese Opera

However, whether Cantonese opera can continue to breed and cultivate a new generation of famous actors in the future, and once again make a great impact in the art world, is the industry's long-term expectation. Speaking of this, the little girl who grew up in the Cantonese Opera industry is also worried about her growing up. "It's hard to do. In the past, there were so many theatres with so many teams. They were old-fashioned and even built stadiums. A secretary once asked us to do a play, only once or twice a year, which was so little. She also admitted that she had spent all the labor she earned in one or two nights. There are a lot of performers and a lot of expenses, more than 100000 a day. The newcomers can do it themselves, but they may not be invited by the boss. What's more, the performances are all old plays, and they have to stick to their heads and pay for them, but they all do it once every two years. As an elder sister, she sighed that she could not help her. Earlier, the West Kowloon Cultural, entertainment and Art District planned to build a drama center in the District, which should open a life-saving window for the declining Cantonese opera. The question is, when can the Cantonese Opera industry, which is still struggling to survive, arrive safely. She is closely linked to the second leading lady.

Huansha is not the heroine of zichaiji. In the play, the main character is Huo Xiaoyu, and Huansha is not only her maid, but also her confidant and good friend. On stage, Ren binger's number of appearances is not the same as that of the main character, which is not the focus. She can only wait by Huo Xiaoyu's side, just a line away from the position of the main character. Off stage, she has already seen through the world.

"I have never thought about it. Some audiences don't like you, that's why they don't like you. So I'm the second best actress. I'm OK at the box office. If you're a regular printer and the box office is not good, there's psychological pressure, right. "Ren binger is determined. However, the same role has been performing for 50 years, don't you feel bored. "It's not boring. If you have a chance to play, how can it be boring. Stuffy is fighting with money. It's a job. "Ren bing'er's quick words, to put it bluntly, are for two meals. "The story of purple hairpin - the 50th year of Huansha, 1957-2007" was staged in Xinguang theater. The banner of "full house" was hung outside the theater, flying with the wind conspicuously. The hall under the banner was full of people. It was a night performance, which was a little different. Ren bing'er, as usual, plays the role of Huansha and accompanies Huo Xiaoyu, but she is the "true seal of Huadan" on and off the stage, where the spotlight is. Repeating the original version, she said, "I feel old. "Huansha is not feeling well.
