The title of the new article: "Huang Weixiang: The Hero Behind the Scenes in 'Seventy-Two Tenants'".
Heck, when it comes to classic sitcoms in Guangdong, "Seventy-Two Tenants" is a household name. From "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" to this one, Guangdong audiences have been amused by these actors for 16 years. Today, let's talk about the "63-year-old eighth aunt" Huang Weixiang in this drama, a strong woman who married Tan Xianbing in the play, her husband never showed up in real life, which is mysterious enough!
Speaking of "Seventy-two Tenants", this Cantonese series has been accompanied by Cantonese people for several "octaves", jointly created by Zhuying Studio and Guangdong TV, and has been accompanying Guangdong audiences since its launch in 2008. This group of actors all has superb acting skills, distinct personalities, and humor, which is simply the audience's favorite. And when it comes to "Eight Aunts" Liu Qionghua actor Huang Weixiang, hey, this is a great character!She is a household name in Guangdong, and some people even think that she is more decent than the members of the Kang family in "Foreign Drama", and laughingly calls her a real "messenger of justice".
The eighth aunt is the owner of the "seventy-two compounds" in the play, and all the properties here were left to her by her ex-husband Li Daxiong, although she later married the "Prince Bing" Tan Xianbing, but in fact Tan Xianbing only became her husband in the form of a rich man, and her adopted daughter Ah Xiang was adopted by her. This family relationship is really complicated, and it is more bloody than some bloody plots.
The character of the eighth aunt is quite love-hate-hate, greedy for money, harsh, selfish, and rude, and she is simply a reckless and superstitious "first aunt". However, despite her many shortcomings, the audience loves her more than many tenants, and some people even think that she is truly decent, which shows how charming she is.
Huang Weixiang revealed in an interview that he was embarrassed when he first started playing Bagu: "Actually, I didn't act well at all at the beginning, because I and Peng Chiquan, Feng Gangyi, Chen Yonghong and others were all born in Cantonese opera. It seems that this old actor has also undergone a lot of adjustments to play the role of the eighth aunt well.
Speaking of Huang Weixiang's background, she is a native of Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, and her parents worked in the Liuxihe Forest Farm in Conghua, Guangdong, where she was born. Although her birth information was not found on the Internet, many netizens said that she was born in 1960 and should be 63 years old this year. In 1978, 18-year-old Huang Weixiang graduated from the Guangdong Cantonese Opera School, and her classmates also included Guo Fengnu, Cao Xiuqin and other famous Cantonese opera performance artists.
After graduating from Cantonese opera school, Wong was assigned to the Cantonese Opera Company in Guangdong Province, but in places where Cantonese opera is so famous, she can usually only play small and inconspicuous roles. Mainly plays Caidan, this "ugly woman" is quite spicy and funny, let's look at her acting career, it can be said that she has experienced twists and turns.
In 2000, Huang Weixiang was 40 years old, and she was transferred to the Shenzhen Cantonese Opera Troupe, at which time she finally had more room to play. However, the Cantonese opera industry withered, and only a small number of Cantonese opera lovers knew her. Looking back on her decades of Cantonese opera career, in addition to Cai Dan, she has also played Lao Dan, Tsing Yi, Dao Ma Dan, etc., and her biggest achievement is that in 1990, she won the gold medal in the second Young and Middle-aged Performing Arts Competition with her Cantonese opera excerpt "Snatching the Flute".
Time flies, and in 2008, Huang Weixiang returned to Guangzhou again, and it happened that "Seventy-two Tenants" was preparing for filming. By chance, she was appreciated by the director, and became an instant hit with the role of Bagu, becoming a star in Guangdong. Maybe even she didn't expect that she, who has acted in Cantonese opera all her life, would become popular all over Guangdong because of a role.
In life, Huang Weixiang is really low-key, and Guangdong netizens want to understand her relationship status through various channels, but they have found nothing. Some people say that Wu Jiahui is her husband, some people say that Peng Chiquan is her husband, and some people say that Feng Gangyi is her husband, but in fact, these are just misinformation, and her husband has always been a mystery.
"Seventy-Two Tenants" has aired more than 2,000 episodes so far, and it is still catching up with the pace of "Foreign Drama". And Huang Weixiang, as the eighth aunt, is still active in the field of vision of Guangdong audiences. Over the years, her appearance has not changed much, compared with Zheng Zhandan, who plays her daughter Ah Xiang, it is simply a heaven and an underground.
Overall, Huang Weixiang is the behind-the-scenes hero in "Seventy-Two Tenants", and she uses her hard work and talent to make this role a classic in the hearts of Cantonese people. Whether it is in or out of the play, she shows the strength and confidence of women. At the age of 63, she still maintains excellent acting skills and a low-key life, which makes people sigh: This "eighth aunt" is really an amazing woman!
