In contrast, if there is no rich acting experience and superb dramatic attainments, it is of course impossible for the little fresh meat in the entertainment industry to be as seductive as Mao Weitao and Chen Lijun"Domineering President" Zhang HanThe black material in the early years has also been mentioned by many people again.
Hmm, here is a few seconds of silence for Zhang Han.

As an older generation of theater artists, Mao Weitao's name has gradually disappeared in the long river of history, but there are still many people who remember the pastMao Weitao's most infuriating thing is her "reform" of Yue Opera
In 1962, Mao Weitao was bornTongxiang City, Zhejiang ProvinceShe has been fond of theater since she was a child, and after graduating from high school, she entered the local areaTongxiang County Yue Opera TroupeAs an actress, because of her talent, even if she doesn't have much knowledge of drama, she still gets a lot of praise.
The troupe sent it for the purpose of cherishing talentsZhejiang University of the ArtsFurther study, which gave Mao Weitao great help, and she did not forget the grace of the troupe, and returned to the troupe after graduation to continue performing.

With the teaching of her mentor and Mao Weitao's own efforts, her acting skills have been greatly improved, so when the first Little Hundred Flowers Show in Zhejiang Province began, Mao Weitao immediately signed up.

In 1982, Mao Weitao performed at the Little Hundred Flowers Show"Wife Asks for Wife, Lu Zhen"., with superb acting skills, won the ".Outstanding Little Hundred Flowers Award"., such an honor, let Mao Weitao enter the newly formedZhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe
Fame and prestige did not bring Mao Weitao too many privileges, and she didn't disdain those things outside her body, she just wanted to perform on stage, and practiced her basic skills day and night, and all of these were all seen by Yin Guifang.

In 1983, Mao Weitao went to Hong Kong with the troupe to perform, she looked elegant and refined, her movements were clean and neat, and her singing voice was clear and smooth, which attracted cheers from the audienceMao Weitao has also become the brightest new star
22 years old, is the best time in a woman's life, and it is also the time when Mao Weitao really became famous, she participated in the National Day performance in Beijing, afterIt was named the first of the "Five Golden Flowers" of Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Troupe by the National Drama Association

After becoming famous, Mao Weitao relied on"The Resentment of the Han Palace"."The Legend of the West Chamber"."Lu You and Tang Wan"."Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"., successively won the Plum Blossom Award in 1985, 1994, and 2007, becoming the only three-time winner of the "Plum Blossom Award" in the Yue Opera industry!

At a time when everything is thriving, everyone is cheering, everyone is celebratingMao Weitao is the only one who sees that Yue Opera is not a new peak, but a boom and a decline.
There is no successor, no matter which line it is placed in, it is an extremely terrible thing, and as time goes by, more and more new things abroad have brought a huge impact on traditional art, which makes Mao Weitao, who is the head of the Hundred Flowers Troupe, feel that it is critical.
Stills from "Cold Love".
Although there are still many students in the Yue Opera Troupe, they privately talk about brand-name costumes and science fiction blockbusters, but they have never mentioned half of Yue Opera.
Seeing this, Mao Weitao wanted to carry out reforms, hoping to add fashion elements to Yue Opera, so that more young people could see the beauty and tolerance of Yue Opera, butShe didn't know that it would be so difficult to do it!
Liang Zhu" Mao Weitao plays Liang Shanbo.
Mao Weitao realized that if traditional theater wanted to continue to develop, it should not only adhere to the stereotypical traditions left by its ancestors, but also keep pace with the times, in this way, we can ensure the vigorous development of Yue Opera and ensure that there is always fresh blood to join it.
In order to achieve this goal and ideal, Mao Weitao is in the traditional program"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".Medium,Replace the traditional water sleeves with a fan, also broke the tradition and created new story structures and lines, but it brought her a lot of trouble.

Liang Zhu" has already been obtained"Plum Blossom Award"., but the older generation of fans and the outside world don't buy it, they think that Mao Weitao has lost her respect for traditional art, and reprimands her for being a generation that has forgotten her ancestors.
Mao Weitao was unmoved, she was there"The Good Man of Jiangnan".In continuing to innovate and challenge, while attracting the attention of young people, alsowas scolded by industry insiders and drama fans
Smiling Proud Jianghu" crew**.
If Mao Weitao's drastic reform was the reason why she was scolded, then her previous cross-border performances made her the target of public criticism.
In 2000,Zhang JizhongDirector's remake"Smiling Proud Jianghu"., when he found all the actors, he found that there was one key person missing to promote the plot, that is, Dongfang Undefeated.
Smiling Proud Jianghu" Mao Weitao plays the undefeated East.
In the original work of Old Man Jin Yong, Dongfang is undefeated because he practiced"Sunflower Treasure Book".lost the masculinity of a man, and it was difficult to find an actor for such a role in the entertainment industry at that time, soZhang Jizhong found Mao Weitao
Mao Weitao played all the roles in Yue Opera"Xiaosheng".She was originally a daughter, and she also had masculine beauty, is the best choice for the undefeated East, andMao Weitao was also greatly praised by Jin Yong
Mao WeitaoIn addition to the above two points, Mao Weitao is the most criticizedShe is cold and ruthless in her approach to feelings
In the mid-80s of last century, Mao Weitao, who was gaining fame, met a journalist in HangzhouLiu Dong, the two soon started a family, but they were inThey parted ways after 3 years
Mao WeitaoMao Weitao was busy with his career and ignored the importance of his family, thereforeThe husband and wife live separately all year round and rarely have the opportunity to get together, and with the fact of a long-distance relationship, the relationship between Mao Weitao and Liu Dong is getting weaker and weaker.
There is no chance to meet, plus the time together is very shortMao Weitao and Liu Dong did not give birth to any children, so when the divorce was made, Mao Weitao immediately abandoned his ex-husband and cut off all contact.
Mao Weitao and Guo Xiaonan.
In 2000,Mao Weitao married opera director Guo Xiaonan, maybe it's because you don't need to stay in shape when you're older, or maybe you really want to have a childThe two gave birth to a daughter the following year, she finally completed a major event in her life.
In 2018,Mao Weitao stepped down as the head of the Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe, began to serveChairman of Baiyue Cultural Creativity, she ran around and made great contributions to the promotion of Yue Opera, and also attracted the attention of more young people.

Chen Lijun is a member of the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera TroupeShe was originally a Danjiao, but Chen Lijun is tall and heroic, and she was favored by Mao Weitao, and accepted her as an apprentice and became a well-rounded Yue Opera actor.
Among the fans who like Chen Lijun, only a small number are drama fans, and more are young people, which has attracted too much fresh blood to Yue Opera, I believe that Chen Lijun's future may be more brilliant and beautiful than her mentor Mao Weitao.
Mao WeitaoNowadays,Mao Weitao is 62 years old, she still maintains a good appearance and figure at such an age, and her mental outlook is far beyond her peers I don't know how many times.
Mao Weitao was controversial in her early years, but she still moved forward on the established path, and her apprentice Chen Lijun's successful breakthrough made the outside world finally understand the true purpose of her reform.
It's just that the apology will not be mentioned to her.
New Dragon Gate Inn" Chen Lijun and Li Xiaoyun.
Under the leadership of Mao Weitao, Zhejiang Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe has become a cultural business card of Zhejiang ProvinceMao Weitao has laid the foundation for the take-off of Yue Opera, and greater achievements require future generations to continue to work hard.
I believe that Yue Opera people will continue to work hard for this goalI believe that Chen Lijun's breakthrough can attract more young people to like Yue Opera, and then fall in love with Yue Opera.
Mao WeitaoIf that day comes, the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe will be able to become famous overseas, and"Big Butterfly" Yue Opera TheaterIt will become a cultural landmark in Hangzhou, and I believe that one day, it will not be too far away!
