Wang Xiaobao

essential information

Early experience

Wang Xiaobao was born in wangbeilou village, Badaohao Town, Heishan County, Liaoning Province. His ancestors were farmers. The only form of entertainment he could contact as a child was Yangko. As long as there was a Yangko performance, Wang Xiaobao would go to see it no matter how far it was. "I like the joy and enthusiasm of the big Yangko," he said

Wang Xiaobao said that it was because of his physical condition at that time that he got married with Errenzhuan.

When I was a child, I had asthma. I had an attack once or twice a year. I couldn't sleep when I was sick. I kept panting. So that the two sisters next door couldn't sleep. My mother thinks I'm not in good health and I can't do farm work when I grow up, so she wants to find a way out for me. I've loved music since childhood, and I'm a member of the literature and Art Committee in my class. When I was in junior high school, I sang pop songs and danced swing dances in the countryside. I sang in the middle of the night, and I even sang all the way home at night. At that time, people in the village gave me the nickname "noisy Yelang". My mother thinks the child loves singing anyway, so let him sing Errenzhuan.

My cousins, Zhang Shuyi and Zhang Shuchun, are all in a small class with Errenzhuan. When I graduated from high school, my mother discussed with my uncle and asked them to take me out to see if I could do it. My uncle agreed to take me out when he saw that I could not do the backbone farm work. When my mother said to me that your uncle is going to "start work" again, you can go with me. I feel very sudden. My mother didn't mention it to me before, but I didn't object. The next day I went with my cousin's little class.

The first stop we went to was Tai'an. When we got there, as soon as we entered the house, we saw an old artist sitting cross legged on the Kang, with a special style. My cousin said to her, the child wants to learn Errenzhuan from you. The old artist ignored me when he saw that my face was black and long, let alone accepted me as an apprentice. My uncle saw that they didn't accept me, so he told me to follow me first. In the small class, I help with the chores of sweeping the floor and fetching water. I stood by to watch the play. A month later, I learned all the plays they could sing.

At that time, not only the living conditions were poor, but also the food was not good. I can't stand it. I've never been so guilty of growing up. I want to go home, but I'm afraid I can't talk to my parents when I go home. My uncle saw that I was disheartened, so he advised me, saying that he was more bitter than me at the beginning, and that he couldn't stand this pain. What future prospects do you have. I had no choice but to stay.

Off duty

Errenzhuan is the only way to go. I have to carry gongs and drums and my clothes. I have two pockets on my back and a drum on my waist. Sometimes, when there is no place to sing from morning till night, we discuss with others. We can sing without money. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can be left to sing for a week. Sometimes, if you really have no place to sing, you can find a space to play the gongs and drums for a while, which can also attract some people.

"Walk class" twice a year, December, January and hang hoe. After a few months to "leave class", my mother also let my uncle take me. My uncle said to me, "the teacher who didn't agree to accept you last time agreed to accept you." I'm very happy to hear that. My master's name is Chen Qinglian. He's a "topcoat". He's from Liaozhong. He's always singing big axis. He's good at bitter opera. He's good at figure. We are going to perform in Huandong township of Tai'an this time. One rainy day, after dinner, my uncle asked me to sing a song for Chen Qinglian. After listening, she said, "you want to learn drama from me. What skills do you have?" When I was watching the forest farm at home, I learned Shaolin eighteen methods from others. I gave Mr. Chen a set of fists on the spot. Seeing my sharp hands and feet and quick movements, and my uncle's intercession, Mr. Chen agreed to accept me as an apprentice. After kowtowing, the teacher gave me a play "little new year's greetings", wrote the words to me, let me use the tune set words, sing wrong, the teacher corrected. There are more than 200 verses in "little new year's greetings". I memorized them after the teacher had a sleep. When the teacher saw that I was still smart, he admitted that I was a student from his heart.

Join the League

More than a year later, the local troupe of Heishan County recruited students. The head of the troupe was Li Xiuyuan, whose stage name was Xiao Yuexia. She didn't ask me for my image. I continue to sing with Xiaoban. The next year, the black mountain troupe recruited actors who would sing operas and sent someone to find me. My stubborn temper came up. I thought you didn't want me at the beginning, but I didn't go back to find me. Later, leader Li personally took me to the regiment in a car.

After entering the troupe, the troupe was divided into two teams. They performed outside all the year round and performed in more than ten places in Shenyang. At that time, the performance conditions were very difficult, and it was the best to live in the staff dormitory. When performing in Shenyang zoo, I lived in a big iron cage where animals stayed. At that time, I was looking forward to becoming a full-time employee. As a result, it is not very important for me to become a full-time employee ten years later. But I still want to thank the Heishan Troupe for training me, and thank Mr. Han Weihua of Heishan County Culture Bureau for his great support. Mr. Han worked hard for me in my growing up. He directed more than ten Er Ren zhuans I performed.

Later, the League was in a recession, so I had a long holiday. I thought I could do it myself. I started choosing partners, and I didn't think about who was the regular partner. Sun Lirong and I went to the hoe hanging class for a week. Later, we began to cooperate for a long time. We got more and more tacit understanding. We knew what we were going to do with each other on stage. In 2000, he took part in the Errenzhuan competition of three provinces in Northeast China and won the gold medal.

At the beginning of 2001, I was singing in Jinzhou. When I heard that the province was going to hold the "Zhao Benshan cup Errenzhuan Grand Prix", I signed up. At that time, the dance and singing of Errenzhuan by sun Lirong and I were recognized by all of us, and we were also on "spend a good time together" by Liaoning TV station. In order to participate in this competition, we are now making handkerchiefs and buying big boards. The big boards have not been used for many years, so it's very difficult to buy them. We've gone to many places and spent a lot of money just taking a taxi. When I come back, I will wear the big board according to the method taught by Ma Li. It takes seven hours to wear it. After that, I began to practice the combination of Errenzhuan. At that time, there were two plays a day. I used to sleep at noon, but I didn't sleep for the competition. In order not to affect other people's rest, we took a taxi to the park to practice, surrounded by many people to see, we can not care so much.

Later, we moved to Anshan to sing opera, and we rented a place to practice dance. At that time, it was a dog's day. I had to sweat every half an hour, and my body was covered with prickly heat. Sometimes sun Lirong and I had trouble in rehearsal. Later, we agreed that the arrangement of Xiaomao should belong to her and Mi Jian you gong should belong to me. Because the competition time is limited, I can't sing a play completely, so I adapted "Mi Jian you gong" by myself, arranged the dance and designed the costume according to the needs of the plot. Later, I heard that there was only one Benshan cup award and three gold medals in this competition. I also heard that there were people going through the back door. I think the gold medal is definitely out of the question, so I called Mr. Ma Li and sister Jin Fang and said I didn't want to compete. Coincidentally, none of their phones got through. I thought I'd better go. It may be Providence.

In order to adapt to the environment of Shenyang, we came to Shenyang two days in advance and went to the park to practice the big board. At that time, I was very nervous. I was worried and angry. My voice was like smoke. I didn't dare sing hard, so I tried to eat fruit. Before the competition, I heard that Mr. Zhao might accept some apprentices this time. I thought if only I could be chosen. I played normally on the day of the game and the effect was very good. Later, I heard that Mr. Zhao might accept me, and a ceremony would be held at the end of the competition in three days. I really didn't know how to live those three days. I couldn't sleep and eat. I was afraid that my dreams would change.

Acting experience

The night of August 11, 2003 is a night that Wang Xiaobao will never forget.

On that day, I personally experienced the exciting scene. The courtyard of Xinmeng garden in Shenyang is brightly lit and lively. All the actors of the first zhaobenshan cup Errenzhuan Grand Prix gathered here to celebrate the success of the competition. At 1:00 a.m., in a spacious and bright conference room, Zhao Benshan held a large-scale apprenticeship ceremony. Wang Xiaobao, Wang Xiaoli, Zhang Xiaofei and Tang Jianjun formally worshipped under Zhao Benshan's door and became disciples of famous artists in China whom they had admired for a long time. Jiao Li, director of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Liaoning Provincial Committee, Cui Kai, vice chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Federation of literary and art circles, Tian Lianyuan, chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Music Association, Fan Wei, vice chairman, he Qingkui, a famous writer, and Gao Xiumin, a famous comedian, attended the meeting.

The teacher worship meeting was presided over by Cui Kai. Zhao Benshan and his wife Ma Lijuan were sitting at the table. When Cui Kai asked some of his disciples what they would do, they insisted on kowtowing. The five disciples knelt down piously in front of the master and his wife and kowtowed nine times. In the face of the sincere actions of the disciples, Zhao Benshan got up and said: "the purpose of accepting you is not to have several disciples around me all day. I don't need this. I want to help the art form of Errenzhuan. When you become my apprentices, the first thing is to be good people. You should influence Errenzhuan with your own actions, drive Errenzhuan, get rid of the vulgar things in Errenzhuan, make Errenzhuan respected, and make this art with more than 200 years of history gradually elegant. I'll put the scandal ahead. If any of you have any problems in life, I'll clean up the door impolitely. " Ma Lijuan, the teacher's wife sitting on one side, said earnestly, "if you are an apprentice to Zhao Benshan, you don't have to give us gifts. We don't need anything. We just want you to be promising. Let people stretch out their hands to boast that they are the disciples of Benshan, and we will be satisfied. "

"Zhao Benshan cup Errenzhuan Grand Prix" rewrites Wang Xiaobao's fate. Shortly after the competition, Wang Xiaobao was recruited by his master to play Liu's eldest son, Liu Dakui. Wang Xiaobao said that when filming, the master patiently taught us how to act and gave us positions over and over again. If the role of Da Kui I I played is so interesting, the credit should be due to my teacher Zhao Benshan
