A few days ago, the 2023 exhibition season of the Chinese Academy of Drama - the 7th "Youth Research Class" teaching report performance "Suolin Bag" was staged at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater in Beijing.
The book is a masterpiece of the Cheng School, which is popular for its profound theme concept, ingenious plot structure, and beautiful singing melody, and has become a traditional masterpiece performed on the stage of Peking Opera for a long time. Under the meticulous and careful teaching of Zhang Huoding, a famous master of the Cheng School of Peking Opera and the tutor of the "Youth Research Class", Pan Yu of Gansu Peking Opera Company Co., Ltd., Yin Chanjuan of Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe, Zheng Fei and Wang Chao of the National Peking Opera Company and other students of the 7th "Youth Research Class" and the cast and crew of the First Troupe of the National Peking Opera Company took the stage together, fully demonstrating the artistic characteristics of the comprehensive development of singing and dancing of the Cheng (Yanqiu) School.
Pan Yu, who plays Xue Xiangling, firmly grasps the arrogance of the character, endows Xue Xiangling with a sense of cuteness and kindness, swaying and sincere and natural, and presents a fresh, fluent, bright and free artistic character in the concise and elegant "Spring and Autumn Pavilion" singing segment. Xue Xiangling, portrayed by Yin Chanjuan of the Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe, in the "Zhu Lou" fold, shows Xue Xiangling's life situation after the sudden change in life, the separation of the whole family, and the dispersion of gold and silver. Zheng Fei and Wang Chao of the National Peking Opera Company are willing to be green leaves, and they portray the characters of Zhao Shouzhen's gratitude and gratitude, kindness and gratitude, and the villain of the gong man's power and the rudder when he sees the wind and rudder.
The wonderful presentation of the performance is inseparable from the hard work of the teachers behind the scenes. Pan Yu said: "I am very grateful to my mentor Zhang Huoding for his unreserved teaching, and through Xi, I have deeply realized that 'drama' is 'fine', and art cannot be passed, let alone shoddy. Only by constantly improving and polishing their professional skills can they be worthy of the teacher's teaching. Thanks to the support and cooperation of the teachers in front of and behind the scenes of the First Troupe of the National Peking Opera Company. ”
Yin Chanjuan followed Zhang Huoding to learn Xi "Suolin Bag" as early as 2009, and after entering the "Youth Research Class", she re-learned from Zhang Huoding Xi polished this "Cheng School" classic. She said: "The 'Youth Research Class' is an artistic palace where young Peking Opera performers aspire and love, and it is a great honor to be selected for Xi 'Youth Research Class' for further study. On the road of art in the future, I will strive to inherit the art of the Haocheng School and strive to hand in a satisfactory answer. ”
