"Seventy-two Tenants" is a classic comedy shared by Cantonese people, known as "Guangdong local drama", although there is a big gap between the broadcast time and the number of episodes and "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", but the influence in Guangdong is also huge, and the characters in the play are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" and "Seventy-two Tenants" are two completely different TV series, the former focuses on the integration of local culture and foreign culture, and the latter depicts the life of local people during the ** period.
In "Seventy-Two Tenants", many actors are veteran actors in the Guangdong entertainment industry, including Peng Chiquan, the actor of Prince Bing. He was once one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Cantonese opera and was widely recognized.
In terms of the number of roles, Prince Bing, Bagu and Ah Xiang's family of three have the most roles in the play. The influence of "Seventy-two Tenants" made Peng Chiquan highly respected in Guangdong, no matter how he went, Cantonese people would affectionately call him Prince Bing, his wife was regarded as the eighth aunt, and his daughter (adopted daughter) was Ah Xiang.
So, what is Peng Chiquan like in real life?Let's find out.
Peng Chiquan, a native of Panyu, Guangdong, was born in Guangzhou in 1947. As early as 1960, at the age of 13, he entered the Guangdong Cantonese Opera School and began his artistic career.
On the road of Cantonese opera, he was carefully taught by many famous teachers such as Liang Yintang, Red Line Girl, Luo Jiabao, Luo Pinchao, etc., and became the inlet of Wen Juefei and Xinma Shizeng**.
These experiences have made his performance style changeable, and he has become a "thousand-faced old man" in the hearts of Cantonese opera fans. However, from the 80s, with the development of the television industry, the Cantonese opera industry began to decline, and most people did not know him except for Cantonese opera lovers.
Even he himself did not expect that after more than 60 years of Cantonese opera performance, he would eventually become a household name in Guangdong by making TV dramas.
In the classic play "Seventy-Two Tenants", Pang Chi-kuen plays the role of Prince Ping as a greedy and lustful villain, but in real life, he has a good character and always treats love.
His wife, Lin Peizhen, believes that Cantonese opera fans should be no stranger to her, and she is also a veteran Cantonese opera actor. Lin Peizhen was born in Guangzhou in 1945, her ancestral home is Jiangmen, Guangdong, two years older than Peng Chiquan, and she is also his senior sister, who is 78 years old this year.
In 1958, at the age of 13, she was admitted to the first intermediate class of Guangdong Cantonese Opera School. At the end of the 60s of the last century, the two began to fall in love and have been in love for more than 50 years.
Lin Peizhen is 15 years older than Huang Weixiang, but her relationship with Tai Zibing is considered by Guangdong netizens to be like a real couple. However, when people saw Lin Peizhen's **, they found that the husband and wife of the real couple were more obvious.
For the past few decades, the couple has been part of the Foshan Youth Cantonese Opera Troupe"The Condor Heroes", whether in life or on the stage, they are inseparable, and have performed many classic plays together, such as "Pipa Xing", "Zifeng Building", "Hu Bu Return's Wife", "Zhao Zilong Protects the Lord Across the River", "Desolate Liao Gongyue", "La Lang with the Flute Grabbing" and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Dream Huiwei Lady" and so on.
The marriage of Peng Chiquan and Lin Peizhen crystallized, and their daughter Peng Lin did not choose the path of Cantonese opera like her parents, but chose **. In an interview, she explained: "My parents are both well-known in the Cantonese opera world, and if I choose Cantonese opera, people will have high expectations for me.
I thought that even if I tried hard, it would be difficult to surpass my parents, so I chose **. Although Peng Lin is petite and her appearance is not as good as "Ah Xiang", she inherited the versatile genes of her parents.
She began to study Xi at the age of eight, and was admitted to the Normal Department of Xinghai ** College with the first overall score in art. In 1993, when she was a junior, she officially debuted as the champion of the women's group of the "Pioneer Cup" Asian Song Contest in her junior year.
In 1996, she moved to Singapore to develop her career and became a university teacher.
Unknowingly, "Seventy-Two Tenants" has been with us for fifteen or sixteen years, and Peng Chiquan has changed from a young man to a 76-year-old man. Among the starring actors, he ranks fourth in age, Dr. Jin's actor Feng Gangyi is half a year older than him, the tailor's actor Lu Jiaquan is two years older than him, and Director Niu's actor Lu Niu is six years older than him.
I wonder if you still expect them to continue to perform this classic?
