Zhou Xinfang is one of the giants filmed in the second season of "One Hundred Years of Masters". Zhou Xinfang died in 1975, and 2022 marks the 47th anniversary of her death.
Zhou Xinfang (1895-1975), a representative of the Hai school of Peking Opera, was the first artist to use the "directing system" for Chinese opera, and the founder of the "Qi School" art. His performance not only expresses the tradition of Peking Opera in an all-round way, but also absorbs various performance methods such as local opera and film, and forms a unique style of Qipai singing with "turning short into long". He is not only proficient in the performing arts, but also a choreographer and director, and has written and co-edited no less than 120 plays. He was the director of the Shanghai Peking Opera House. Representative works include "Xu Ce Running City", "WulongYuan", "Xiao He Yuexia Chasing Han Xin", "Four Soldiers" and so on.
The current theatrical movement is really surging and boiling. The most ridiculous thing is that some people who want to "replace" themselves as new people say that they have overthrown the evil system of "men dressing up as women", overthrown the old dramas of the feudal era, and overthrown the lingjie... It seems to be a very coherent mantra, which is one-sided propaganda without examination, and it is very worthless. Some people don't ask questions, and they follow the flag waving and shouting, which is even more ridiculous!
You know: women play better than men, naturally use women, if the female role is not needed enough, or temporarily incompetent, then the play can simply not want this role?
Whatever is old now, is the original new, and the past is the future old. The old drama can add new ideas, have a full impact on the audience, go to the top, completely transform it, and immediately it is new. If the new is no longer new, if there is no power to move the audience, the publicity cannot be achieved to the end.

If you want to create or reform the drama, you must work the research, thinking, performance, and arrangement. If the empty shout is not pragmatic, it is not only too extreme, but also the danger of blind people and blind horses.
There are several experienced people who have adopted a fair criticism of Pihuang opera, saying that some places of old drama are insufficiently described, and some places are too uneconomical, so they very much want to make Pihuang opera, insufficient to be fully satisfied, and cumbersome to make it economical, can provide for modern needs, and revolutionize art.
However, after "Pan Jinlian", "Five Righteousness" and "New Fishing and Killing Family" have not yet been performed, and the movement of Pi Huang drama is very silent.
Unexpectedly, this leather yellow opera movement was found in the New Oriental Theater on North Sichuan Road. The scene uses the split-screen method, the set is completely realistic, the treatment of the play is to make up for the lack of shortcomings, to be cumbersome, the protagonist Su San in the play "Female Solution" is played by Ms. Min Cuiying, and the solution is played by Zhou Junwubao.

This Zhou Jun is an experienced actor, and Wen Wu Kun chaos will be much more than now count him. There are his performances on the screen, the new drama is also an advanced, "love American drama" he also participated, to talk about the drama movement, he is really a part. Generally, the gentleman who does not emphasize drama, or the people who are happy and lively and do not value art, where will pay attention to him. I expect That Zhou Jun, this time in New Oriental, will definitely strive to make the audience know him!

Speaking of the protagonist Min Cuiying, I don't recognize her, my artistic talent has not yet been taught, and I dare not arbitrarily make comments. However, she has three theater directors, which are very noticeable to me: one is Feng Junjunhe, a famous Dan who was famous ten years ago, one is Liu Junyuqin, a rising star, and the other is Xue Junlanfen, a famous teacher in Qingyi.
Feng Zihe, xuchu, also known as chunhang, he is an innovator of singing Dan, he acts informally, theatrical deliberate contrivance, he boldly removed a lot, completely tends to be real and natural. "Feng Xiaoqing", "Zhu Yingtai", "Meng Jiangnu", "Freedom Tears", "Blood tears monument" are his masterpieces, not to mention the old dramas. There is also a play "Red Lingyan" in which he plays Wu Fengjie, combs a curved braid and high roots, rags, and smears grease powder on his face, playing a naïve and messy attitude. Although he dresses crazy, he does not reduce his charm, he is alone, and no one can reach.
Feng Zihe
He also sang a month of new dramas, which were pastime, renamed Kankan, and had the "Spring Voyage Collection" in the world, if he was not a lonely temperament, a little perfunctory, I am afraid that now it has become something... finish! Feng Jun, although he is not embarrassed now, he is poor. He is a bit of a celebrity, holding the purpose of "a gentleman is poor", and when I say this, I will not collapse his platform.
Liu Junyuqin was ill, grinding so that he could not exert his instincts as much as possible! Oh, my God! Chinese people have special skills, but they call the words "poor" and "sick", which hinder the progress of genius, can you not hate? Xue Junlanfen, acting is known for its four words in the pure and dignified square. In Ms. Min's curtain, there are three such mentors, pre-predicted on the red kryptonite, it will definitely be a blockbuster!
Liu Yuqin's "Chang'e Running Moon"
This new movement of Pi Huang Opera can make the drama change and tend to succeed, which is really my luxury. I take the conversation with Ouyang ZiQianjun to conclude:
Yu Qian sighed to herself and said, "I didn't sing Pan Jinlian this time. I said, "Those who sing Dan horns, when they were young, had no experience, could not make plays, and when they could do plays, they became old." ”
I'm not saying that Ms. Min can't do drama and has no experience, but please pay attention to this. That's my contribution to New Oriental Theatre. Boldly and unceremoniously, this is an encouragement to the PiHuang opera movement!
