Zhao Zhigang, the prince of Yue Opera, divorced and remarried, inherited Yue Opera
The Yue opera "New Dragon Gate Inn" has successfully attracted the attention of countless audiences, among which Chen Lijun's appearance is particularly eye-catching, and many netizens said that "handsome is not only a gender, but also an attitude".
Some Internet users who have developed a love for Yue Opera began to actively search for relevant information, and found that in this Yue Opera world, which is known as the "daughter country", there are also very few male students who can sing beautifully.
Among them, Zhao Zhigang is the most outstanding one.
Zhao Zhigang, known as the "Prince of Yue Opera", is one of the four students of the "Yin School", his demeanor has made many people fall over, and there is even a saying that "Zhigang is mistaken for life at first sight".
In his career, he has been smooth sailing and rising. However, emotionally, he has experienced twists and turns, and after the divorce, he met a new partner, Chen Xiang.
It turns out that Zhao Zhigang's two wives are not only peers, but also colleagues, such a fate seems to indicate the ...... of Zhao Zhigang's Yue Opera careerIn the field of female-dominated Yue Opera, Zhao Zhigang has made a name for himself with his own strength.
Although the existence of male students has broken the traditional pattern of Yue Opera, female students are still the main force on the stage of Yue Opera, inheriting the tradition of Yue Opera.
In the development of Yue Opera, it was not until 1973 that Yue Opera master Yuan Xuefen put forward the proposal of establishing a "male and female co-performance class", and the major Yue Opera Theaters began to pay attention to the training of male actors.
However, due to various reasons, there are not many actors who can excel, let alone those who can sing out. Despite the difficulties, Yuan Xuefen's proposal played a positive role in promoting the development of Yue Opera art.
Although Yuan Xuefen represents less, it does not mean that there is none. Zhao Zhigang is already a representative of the second generation of male actors in Yue Opera. Born in Shanghai in 1962, he has been handsome since he was a child and has a passion for talent.
In 1973, when the Shanghai Yue Opera Theater recruited male and female ensemble classes, Zhao Zhigang, who was only 11 years old, successfully passed the selection and became one of the many primary school students who took the exam, and none of these primary school students had ever sung Yue Opera.
His successful selection is a testament to his talent and talent.
When Zhao Zhigang first entered the museum, he did not specialize in junior students, but old students. The genre of Yue opera is different from other types of opera, and the classic repertoire is mostly played by Hua Dan and Xiao Sheng, so many students who are assigned to the old students are reluctant.
However, Zhao Zhigang did not complain, he still studied diligently and diligently, and always maintained his professionalism.
While learning from the old students, Zhao Zhigang was attracted by the charm of Yinpai's singing voice and began to explore himself. In a performance, he successfully attracted Yuan Xuefen's attention with "Mulberry Garden's Wife", and since then he has turned to Xiaosheng's singing.
The reason why Zhao Zhigang can be honored as the "Prince of Yue Opera" is naturally talented, and his learning ability and absorption ability are very fast.
After graduating from the academy in 1980, Zhao Zhigang joined the Youth Troupe of the Shanghai Yue Opera Troupe. In 1982, he successfully studied with Yin Guifang as his teacher and began to learn and inherit the art of Yin School Yue Opera.
The impact of an excellent mentor on life is immeasurable, and Zhao Zhigang, under the careful guidance of Yin Guifang, has gradually become a high-profile Yue Opera celebrity.
With his handsome appearance and mellow and thick voice, Zhao Zhigang has successively performed in "He Wenxiu", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Prince of the Desert", "Champion Fight", "Love in the Madhouse" and other plays, and is deeply loved by fans.
Since winning the Red Flower Award in the Shanghai Young Actors Show in 1984, he has been soaring all the way and has won many awards. In 2004, he won the Plum Blossom Award for Drama in one fell swoop.
Zhao Zhigang's career is thriving, and at the same time, he has also gained his own love, that is, Sun Zhijun, a Lupai Huadan who works in the same theater as him. When their relationship was in 1988, the outside world gave them blessings and praised them as the "golden boy and jade girl" in the Yue Opera industry.
Sun Zhijun, who entered the marriage hall in 1989, made a choice between herself and her husband, in order to accompany her husband, she took the initiative to give up many opportunities to play the heroine, and instead joined hands with her husband to participate in various programs.
Together, they played a brother and sister in "Bloodstained Palace" and a couple in "Love in a Madhouse".
In 1993, Sun Zhijun was pregnant with a baby, but because she was diagnosed with chronic myocarditis, the doctor advised her to terminate the pregnancy. However, her husband, Zhao Zhigang, felt that his wife's health was more important and persuaded her to give up.
However, Sun Zhijun was resolutely unwilling to give up her child, and finally in 1994, she went through a difficult process and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Since then, Ms. Sun's career has progressed more slowly, as she has focused most of her energy on her family.
With the strong support of Sun Zhijun's wife, Zhao Zhigang's career is booming. He is known as the "Prince of Yue Opera", and is known as the "Four Little Students of the Yin School" together with Mao Weitao and others, and is famous.
Although Zhao Zhigang's career seems to be smooth sailing, he actually experienced an accident that almost ruined his Yue Opera career.
In 1984, Zhao Zhigang participated in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Yue Opera Young Actors Competition and won the first place in the audience vote.
He apparently didn't anticipate his good fortune and seemed a little overwhelmed when he was invited to speak on stage. The host asked him to speak impromptu, and he didn't know what to say for a moment, but he said something surprising: "I really won the first prize this time." ”
Zhao Zhigang's sentence of "fishing" caused an uproar, and the word he chose did not match the beautiful scenes in Yue Opera, which was undoubtedly the wrong time and occasion.
The audience fiercely criticized this, believing that Zhao Zhigang lacked cultural literacy, and a young student who was still in the beginning of his career was criticized as uneducated, which was a major blow to his career.
Zhao Zhigang sincerely reviewed himself in "I Still Have to Make Up Classes", and since then he has been studying hard and trying to get rid of the hat of shallow culture. In 2010, he moved from Shanghai to Hangzhou to work and set up his own workshop.
However, his reputation was affected by his divorce from his wife.
Zhao Zhigang and Sun Zhijun, the golden boy and girl, finally parted ways, and the reasons for the divorce are different. Some people think that Sun Zhijun has been in poor health, and Zhao Zhigang wants to get rid of this drag; There is also speculation that Zhao Zhigang has a new emotional object, which has caused Zhao Zhigang's reputation to suffer a lot.
However, Zhao Zhigang later remarried Yue Opera actor Chen Xiang and said in an interview that the rumors had been resolved.
Zhao Zhigang said that he had a clear conscience and fulfilled his responsibility to everyone. He decided not to pay attention to what the outside world was talking about him and Chen Xiang, but the outside world's attention to the two of them has never diminished.
Since Chen is 18 years younger than Zhao Zhigang, many people are skeptical about their relationship, believing that they will not be happy.
Happiness does not depend on the evaluation of others, but on one's own inner perception, and for Chen Xiang, it is extremely lucky to be able to spend his life with his idol. Born in 1980, Chen graduated from the Shanghai Opera School, specializing in Hua Dan.
By the time Chen Xiang was successful, Zhao Zhigang had already become one of the bigwigs in the field.
The couple co-created a number of classic works on the stage of Yue Opera, such as "The First Intimate Contact" and "The Butterfly Sea Love Monk". Their married life is also full of happiness and happiness, and their common hobbies and topics allow them to support each other and continue to move forward together on the road of Yue Opera art.
After Sun Zhijun and Zhao Zhigang divorced, they lived alone with their daughter, although the illness has not yet healed, but they are still strong and dependent on their daughter. Although she is no longer on the stage, she is still living her life in her own way.
Although 15 years have passed since the divorce, her life still goes on.
Zhao Zhigang and his assistant Chen Xiang, although they are over 60 years old, are still making unremitting efforts for the development of Yue Opera art. In November 2023, they will hold a performance in Sijing Ancient Town, and plan to communicate with schools so that more children have the opportunity to learn and pass on this art.
Zhejiang Satellite TV's Year of the Dragon Yue Opera Spring Festival Gala is about to be staged, and Zhao Zhigang's joining undoubtedly makes fans look forward to it.
Zhao Zhigang and Sun Zhijun used to be a couple in the Yue Opera industry, but their current situation is regrettable. However, Zhao Zhigang has found a new happiness, and we hope that Sun Zhijun can also find his own happiness in life and stay away from the troubles of illness.
We are deeply grateful to Zhao Zhigang for his contribution to the cause of Chinese opera and look forward to his more wonderful performances in the future.
