A Yue opera "New Dragon Gate Inn" has attracted the attention of countless audiencesChen Lijun's appearance made countless netizens call "handsome is an attitude, not gender".
Some netizens who fell in love with Yue Opera began to look for information in various waysOnly then did I find out that there were also a very small number of male students singing in the "daughter country" of Yue Opera, and these people should take Zhao Zhigang as the most.
Zhao Zhigang is one of the four students of the "Yin School", also known as the "Prince of Yue Opera".There used to be rumors that "Zhigang was mistaken for life at first sight".
His career is rising, but emotionally he is not, and after divorcing his ex-wife Sun Zhijun, he met his partner Chen Xiang.
Coincidentally, the two wives are not only peers but also colleaguesSuch a coincidence also confirms Zhao Zhigang's Yue Opera life ......
Yue Opera is still a female field today, even if there are male students, there are still mostly female students, and female students have always been a tradition of Yue Opera.
It was not until 1973 that Yue Opera master Yuan Xuefen proposed the establishment of a "male and female co-performance class", and the major Yue Opera Theaters began to train male actorsHowever, there are few who stand out, and even fewer can sing out.
Yuan Xuefen. But less does not mean no, by the time Zhao Zhigang arrives, he is already the second generation of Yue Opera actors. He was born in Shanghai in 1962, and he has been handsome since he was a child, and he is very fond of talent.
In 1973, when the Shanghai Yue Theater recruited male and female ensemble classes, Zhao Zhigang was just 11 years old, and tens of thousands of primary school students took the exam at that timeHe has never sung Yue Opera, but he successfully passed the selection and became one of the forty percent.
As soon as he entered the school, Zhao Zhigang actually learned not a small student but an old student, the opera genre of Yue Opera is different from other operas, and the classic repertoire is mostly Hua Dan and Xiao Sheng.
Therefore, there are many unwilling students who are assigned to the old students, but Zhao Zhigang has no complaints and still studies diligently.
While learning from the old students, Zhao Zhigang was also attracted by the Yin faction's singing and began to teach the Yin faction by himself. In a performance event, he successfully attracted Yuan Xuefen's attention with "Mulberry Garden's Wife", and began to sing Xiaosheng.
Zhao Zhigang is known as the "Prince of Yue Opera", and he naturally has a bit of talent in his body, and he learns and absorbs it very quickly.
In 1980, after graduating from the academy, Zhao Zhigang joined the Youth Troupe of Shanghai Yue Opera TroupeIn 1982, he successfully apprenticed to Yin Guifang and began to learn and inherit the art of Yin School Yue Opera.
The role of a good teacher in life is incomparable, and Zhao Zhigang has gradually become one of the famous characters in Yin Guifang's teaching.
Yin Guifang. He has starred in "He Wenxiu", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Prince of the Desert", "Champion Watch", "Love in the Madhouse" and other playsBecause of his handsome appearance and mellow and thick voice, he has attracted many fans.
Since winning the Red Flower Award at the Shanghai Young Actors Festival in 1984, Zhao Zhigang has been out of control, winning numerous personal awards, and won the Plum Blossom Award for Drama in 2004.
's career is rising, and Zhao Zhigang has also found his love, that is, Sun Zhijun, a colleague from the same theaterThe other party is Lu Pai Hua Dan, who is also very famous.
After the relationship between the two in 1988The outside world is full of blessings for the two, and praises them as the "golden boy and girl" in the Yue Opera industry.
The two got married in 1989, and after marriage, Sun Zhijun made a choice between herself and her husband, giving up many big heroine dramas, and instead partnering with her husband to star in various shows.
For example, in "Blood Stained Palace", the two played Zhao Gou and Zhao Gou's sister Zhao Yuanyuan, and played a pair of lovers in "Love in the Madhouse".
Sun Zhijun stills.
In 1993, Sun Zhijun became pregnantHowever, because Sun Zhijun was diagnosed with chronic myocarditis, the doctor recommended terminating the pregnancy. Zhao Zhigang also felt that his wife's health was important and persuaded her to give up.
But Sun Zhijun was unwilling to give up the child, and finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl with difficulty in 1994. Later, Sun Zhijun's career development was even slower, because she focused most of her energy on her family.
Sun Zhijun. With the support of his wife, Zhao Zhigang's career has risen steadilyis not only called the "Prince of Yue Opera" by the audience, but also known as the "Four Little Students of the Yin School" together with Mao Weitao and others, and his fame is getting bigger day by day.
Although Zhao Zhigang's career seems to be unimpeded,In fact, there was an accident in the middle, which almost ruined Zhao Zhigang's Yue Opera career.
It happened in 1984, when Zhao Zhigang participated in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Yue Opera Young Actor Competition AwardHe was so strong that he was voted for first place by the audience.
Obviously, he didn't expect this result, and when he was called to the stage to speak, he was also at a lossThe host asked him to speak impromptu, and somehow, he came up with a sentence:
I won the first prize this time.This can poke a hornet's nest,There are so many beautiful scenes in Yue Opera, and it is better to choose any one of them than the word "fishing".But he still said it on such a high-profile occasion to receive the award.
The audience criticized this, saying that Zhao Zhigang was uneducatedA young student whose career has just started will be criticized for having no culture, which is a fatal blow to the career.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhigang's attitude is very sincere, and he is also very smart, and he published "I still have to make up for classes" in the newspaper to review himselfAfter that, in order to take off his uneducated hat, he studied hard and read all kinds of books.
In 2010, Zhao Zhigang moved from Shanghai to Hangzhou to work, and also set up his own workshopAt the same time, the divorce from his wife made Zhao Zhigang famous.
This pair of golden boys and girls finally separated, and there are many theories about the reasons for the divorce. It is said that Sun Zhijun has been in poor health, and Zhao Zhigang wants to get rid of the burden.
It is also said that Zhao Zhigang has a new love, in short, Zhao Zhigang's reputation is very bad. Later, Zhao Zhigang and Yue Opera actor Chen Xiang remarried in an interview to break the rumors.
Zhao Zhigang said that he had a clear conscience and was worthy of anyone. After speaking, he no longer pays attention to the rights and wrongs of the outside world, but the outside world has always paid great attention to the two of them.
Because Chen Xiang is 18 years younger than Zhao Zhigang, this age difference, many people think that the two will not be happy together.
It's just that happiness is not transferred by external comments, only the parties are clearFor Chen Xiang, it is a great luck to be able to marry his idol.
Chen Xiang was born in 1980 and graduated from Shanghai Opera School, majoring in Huadan. By the time Chen Xiang was successful, Zhao Zhigang had become one of the bigwigs in this industry.
The two have collaborated on many plays, such as "The First Close Contact", "Butterfly Sea Love Monk" and so on. The husband and wife have a very happy life after marriage, and they are both Yue Opera actors, and they can make progress together if they have common topics.
It's just that after Zhao Zhigang married Chen Xiang,Sun Zhijun lives alone with her daughter, her illness has not yet healed, and she has not remarried and lived with her daughter for her lifeShe is no longer seen on the stage.
However, the two registered their divorce in 2009, after all, it has been 15 years since the divorce, and outsiders will sigh at most.
Zhao Zhigang and Chen Xiang.
Zhao Zhigang's own career is rising step by step, although he is over 60 years old, he is still running for the development of Yue Opera.
In November 2023, Zhao's Workshop will perform in Sijing Ancient Town, and Zhao Zhigang said that he plans to communicate with the school in the futureGive children the opportunity to pass on this art.
According to a report by Zhejiang Satellite TV,Zhao Zhigang will also appear at the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and many fans must be looking forward to it.
Zhao Zhigang and Sun Zhijun, a pair of golden boys and girls in Yue Opera, are really a pity to get to this pointHowever, Zhao Zhigang has regained his happiness, and hopes that Sun Zhijun's future life will be happy and his illness will disappear.
I would like to thank Zhao Zhigang for everything he has done for the inheritance of opera, and I look forward to his wonderful performance in the near future.
