On the occasion of the opening of the 10th China Peking Opera Festival in Chengdu, Du Zhenjie and Wang Yan, two famous Peking Opera artists and winners of the "Plum Blossom Award" for Chinese drama, came to the "Eastern Suburbs Memory Chengdu International Fashion Industrial Park" today (16) with great interest after the opening ceremony, and saw a simple and avant-garde Chengdu here.
Du Zhenjie, who is good at old students, performed "Sitting in the Palace" at the opening ceremony of the Peking Opera Festival on the evening of the 15th, winning bursts of applause; Wang Yan is a famous Tsing Yi, and at the opening ceremony, she performed Peking Opera + Sichuan Opera "The Drunken Concubine" with Sichuan Opera master Chen Qiaoru, and the audience applauded continuously. After walking into the memory of the eastern suburbs, the two famous Peking Opera actors who usually travel from south to north and have rich experience feel an authentic Chengdu full of dynamic vitality and surprises everywhere.

In front of the locomotive, "Dingjun Mountain" was sung
The memory of the eastern suburbs is rebuilt on the site of the former state-owned red light electron tube factory, and some of the factories with distinctive industrial characteristics will be retained as industrial civilization sites during the transformation. Therefore, when Du Zhenjie and Wang Yan walked in the red brick buildings unique to the memory of the eastern suburbs, they were quickly pulled back to the fiery era they had experienced. The "Starlight Wall" is a 100% modern product, Du Zhenjie and Wang Yan walked through the handprints left by stars and celebrities with great interest, and felt the strong atmosphere of contemporary pop culture.
The locomotive marked "1519" is the first batch of steam-style locomotives in Sichuan Province, and now it is a coffee culture experience center with green leather carriages and a train-themed coffee culture experience center. In front of the locomotive, Wang Yan sang a fast-paced Peking Opera excerpt "Mu Guiying in Command", while Du Zhenjie came to an impassioned "Dingjun Mountain". The wonderful performances of the two famous artists attracted many passers-by to stop and enjoy.
Peking Opera "Dingjun Mountain" is also known as "Success in World War I".
In front of the "Grotesque Aesthetics" art exhibition panel in the Star Drama Village, the two even improvised a Peking Opera segment "Dragon and Phoenix". In fact, whether it was outdoors before or indoors now, the environment is no better than the stage stage, but Peking Opera sings in such an environment with a different style. Du Zhenjie said frankly that the green train made "people of our age" very touching, as if the past time came back all of a sudden, "it feels very kind".
A mix of avant-garde art and Peking Opera.
Wang Yan said, "Although tourists may just pass by or watch, they can also feel that we are singing Peking Opera through this form." No matter what way it is, as long as we can pass on the art of Peking Opera, including traditional culture, to young friends, so that they can better understand and love the essence of their own art, we are duty-bound. ”
Experience authentic Chengdu in the "Check-in Place for Young People".
In fact, before entering the park, Du Zhenjie and Wang Yan had already heard that the memory of the eastern suburbs is a "check-in place for young people". But what they saw along the way still made them feel excited. Whether it is taking photos and checking in like ordinary tourists under the "Chengdu Wall", or experiencing authentic Sichuan food on the snack street, it makes them feel much younger.
With an endless stream of check-ins and live broadcasts, Wang Yan and Du Zhenjie also followed the footsteps of many young people and entered the Soarin Retro Ecological Museum to have a look. Wang Yan, who was covered in pearls and emerald on the stage, tried a strange style of the castle in front of the mirror, and there was no sense of disobedience at all; Du Zhenjie poured the iced coconut water in his hand into a cup of hot latte in front of him to feel the mixing and matching of coconut latte. When they are in a scene with a strong crossover style, they also seem to be inadvertently inadvertently infected.
Wang Yan experienced the mysterious scene of the ancient castle in the retro museum.
When she came to the market under the "Chengdu Stage", Wang Yan almost couldn't wait to rush in, all kinds of clothes, jewelry, ornaments and flowers, "Girls can't leave when they see these." After trying on hats, jewelry, scarves and flowers, "I feel good about everything."
Wang Yan was very satisfied with this hat.
Although they had already tasted hot pot in Chengdu this time, when they encountered folded ear root and tofu brain, Du Zhenjie and Wang Yan still felt that they had encountered rare food. Wang Yan is more Xi to the red oil pepper in the tofu brain than Du Zhenjie, and Du Zhenjie is more familiar with the folded ear root than Wang Yan, "there are also rural areas in the north, but there are few."
Du Zhenjie tried red oil tofu brain.
Du Zhenjie has also been to similar leisure districts in other cities in China, but "there are not so many fireworks, and there are not so many young people." Du Zhenjie found that many of the buildings and shop signs in the memory block in the eastern suburbs are antique designs, but the overall format and atmosphere are very fashionable. He believes that it may be this wonderful contrast between the old Chengdu and the new fashion that makes young people especially favor here, and the ubiquitous live streaming and check-ins all around, "I feel that the atmosphere of this city is especially prominent here." ”
Wang Yan feels the same way: the art exhibitions and graffiti in the neighborhood are very avant-garde, but the green trains, red brick houses, water towers and lathes create a strong sense of age, and it is this combination of quaintness and avant-garde that makes her feel that this place is full of vitality.
Sitting on a bamboo chair in Sichuan's unique Gaiwan Teahouse, the two Peking Opera masters looked with great interest at Chengdu in front of them: there was not only the traditional culture that they were already familiar with in the Peking Opera that they sang and played every day, but also the trendy elements essential for a modern international metropolis. It's this blend of fashion and sophistication that makes the city so attractive.
