Su Shaotang
His original name was su Jintang, a famous civil and military student. As a teacher, Chen Jintang took Su Shaotang as his stage name. In the late 1930s, he joined Liyuan opera school. For 50 years, he served as a student in Li ronghua, xianfengming, dalongfeng and other troupes. He once worked with Mingdan fenghuangnu to organize Tanghuang troupe and fengqiuhuang troupe as Zhengyin wenwusheng. He has also played a small role in "Jin Tian Hua", "Xin Ma", "Xian Feng Ming" and other troupes for a long time. In the 1970s, he and Luo Yanqing formed a gorgeous troupe to perform in the United States, which was very popular with the local overseas Chinese audience. Now he lives in Seattle, USA, and runs "Jintang seafood restaurant".
Character evaluation
It's gratifying that people in the opera can grasp the golden age and shine. It's better to make good use of their savings to prepare for the future. Su Shaotang, a handsome and unconventional Cantonese Opera student in his youth, moved to Seattle in the early years and has been running a restaurant for more than 20 years. His business has been on the track. For many years, he has kept in touch with the industry. He has devoted himself to the development of Cantonese Opera.
Su Shaotang, formerly known as Su Jintang, was born in the property class. His father ran a bakery in Xiguan and was determined to inherit his son's property. However, Su Shaotang had been obsessed with quyi since he was a child. He often went to theatrical troupes to see operas. He was sincere and respected Chen Jintang as a teacher. When he was more than ten years old, he studied as an apprentice with "Yige" (Chen's nickname). If he was really awarded the true biography, it would take three or four years for him to pour tea and carry it.
Su Shaotang recalled his learning experience in that year. In the morning, he watched the sunrise in the mountains and practiced his eyes. He forged his spirit with a spear on the top of the red field. He realized that the audience demanded that the actor's singing skills should not be inferior to his dressing. If he wanted to make a name for himself, he could not ignore one of them.
When it comes to costumes, "brother Tang" is one of the best actresses in those years. Even Ren Jianhui praised his costumes. He often asked, "what's the craftsmanship at the edge? He did have a design mind for the customization of robe, armor and crown.
"Brother Tang" respects his teacher and respects his way. When it comes to his teacher and apprentice's love, he cares about care and respect. He always remembers Chen Jintang's teachings. He most appreciates master's play treasure "golden dart Huang Tianba". Every time he plays this play, he goes all out and practices hard for it. During the filming of "fairy and phoenix", he and his predecessors Ren, Bai and Bo were both teachers and friends, and had a good cooperation. "Tang Ge" is very popular in the industry. He does not stir up trouble. Even his handsome appearance attracts a lot of warblers and is easy to get involved in gossip. He also laughs at it without explanation.
Five years ago, his first sister-in-law was seriously ill in Hong Kong. No matter how busy he was, brother Tang found time to return to Hong Kong to visit him. He did his best to do his duty until his mother died. He was responsible for the affairs behind him. Su Shaotang and long guantian became apprentices. Among the new generation of actors, "brother Tang" agrees that ah Xu's hard work and studiousness are worthy of support. He is willing to promote his singing and appearance, and is willing to support his younger generation.
"Tong Ge" believes that in order to succeed in his career, he needs to study hard. This is true of the opera industry and the catering industry. As a restaurant owner, even if he doesn't have to be a chef himself, he has to know the essence of the food and be aware of the food trend. With the fierce competition in foreign Tang restaurants, his Jintang seafood restaurant has a firm foothold and has a good reputation. Chinese people attach great importance to soup and taste. They pay the most attention to the selection of materials and cooking skills. The old fire soup, fengsha chicken and scallop vegetables in the store are all popular.
Occasionally, some groups still talk about his comeback. "Tangge" frankly wants to show his skills, but he only thinks about the charity performance or the performance on specific topics. He is still interested in the art of Cantonese opera, and his neighbors are still concerned about the development of Cantonese Opera overseas
