I often see people describe the top nine brands of the Beijing Peking Opera Company and the top ten brands of the Wuhan Peking Opera Company, and I feel very inappropriate. Taking the Beijing Peking Opera Company as an example, there are more than 700 staff members, excluding logistics management, service personnel, and performance personnel, and the remaining actors are less than 300. These 300 people have to be divided into several groups, and there are only dozens of people in a group. Some actors usually have excellent acting skills and artistic talent after long-term training and hard work, and are able to show extraordinary charm and influence on the stage. In a period or stage, it has a strong box office appeal and has become a corner. However, I feel reluctant to be called the top brand in my own troupe or theater.
Carefully count these actors who are called the top brands, such as the nine top names of the Beijing Peking Opera Company on the stage today, which one is like a thunderous horn?At best, he is a well-known actor. Therefore, the "top card" has been abused, and the nine top cards of the Beijing Peking Opera Company can be said to be given by the fans, even if the actors themselves estimate that they dare not say so.
The term "top brand" is often used to describe the most prominent, popular, or representative person in a certain industry or field. In the theater world, especially in the Peking Opera world, the word "toupai" is used to describe actors who are highly acclaimed and highly reputed. I feel that the use of the word "top brand" needs to be moderate and objective. The word cannot be misused and given to anyone at will, but should be evaluated based on the actual performance and achievements of the actors. At the same time, we should also respect the efforts and dedication of each actor, no matter how appealing they are, or don't kill them.
I always believe that it should be the top actors in the country to become the top brand, even if the troupe is at the national level, you can't blindly wear a high hat for yourself. Do you think that's the reason?
