On November 1, 2019, Nanjing Poly Grand Theater, the lights on the stage were brilliant, and suddenly the flash was focused, only to see a woman dressed in a crimson robe, stepping with the drum beat, dressed in a beautiful and dazzling appearance, and the audience applauded. The atmosphere was more than the concert. This is the Peking Opera Qingyin Society of Peking Opera wizard Wang Peiyu.
At the Qingyin meeting, Wang Peiyu made good use of the new situation that young people liked, using the stage barrage to replace the applause of cross-talk and interaction with the audience, and before the Qingyin meeting began, the screen had already been brushed on the screen with terms such as "Beauty Yu Baby", "Beauty like Jade, Talented Woman Matchless", "National Essence Talented Woman, Support You". And this form of innovation is one of the insignificant parts of Wang Peiyu's efforts to disseminate Peking Opera.
Under the flash, Wang Peiyu waited for the applause to stop, slowly picked up the microphone and smiled and asked: "Thank you for holding the scene, how many friends who came to the scene today are coming to the Peking Opera scene for the first time?" More than half of the people in the audience raised their hands, most of them came to Wang Peiyu's fame, but they did not know much about Peking Opera.
Wang Peiyu smiled and said, "It seems that there are a lot of people, but it doesn't matter, I think through today's Qingyin meeting, you will definitely like Peking Opera." "Wang Peiyu has been trying to spread the art of Peking Opera like this, and has sought the continuation and development of Peking Opera art for many years. Nowadays, both inside and outside the industry know Wang Peiyu's big name, and she has become synonymous with the peak of Peking Opera art like Deyun Society.
Peking Opera prodigy Wang Peiyu, debuted at the peak
Born in Suzhou in 1978, Wang Peiyu grew up under the influence of her father to learn Suzhou Pingtan, and began to study Peking Opera in 1989, it is worth noting that she is the only woman in the Chinese Opera School to play on stage, graduated from the Shanghai Opera School in 1992.
Wang Peiyu can be said to be born for the essence of the country, born in Suzhou Wang Peiyu has been learning Suzhou pingtan since he was a child to show his talent, at the age of thirteen, he was sponsored by Wang Sihe, an expert in Peking Opera sent by Yu, to the Shanghai Theater, and at the age of fifteen, he temporarily replaced Mei Baoyue to participate in the "Peking Opera Ticket Friend Cheng Junmou Memorial Performance" and performed "Wen Zhaoguan" on the same stage with Mei Baojiu.
And this time the cooperation directly conquered Mei Baojiu, and after that, Mei Baojiu often praised with her peers: "There is a little girl named Wang Peiyu in the Shanghai Theater, "Wen Zhaoguan" sings really well, and I really want to see her again when I have time."
With Mei Baojiu's appreciation and recommendation, Wang Peiyu's Peking Opera road can be said to be more smooth, before adulthood, Wang Peiyu will be all kinds of Peking Opera awards in the pocket, a few years later, only 25 years old Wang Peiyu is already the deputy head of the Shanghai Peking Opera.
Because of Mei Baojiu's recommendation, when Chen Kaige was preparing to shoot "Mei Lanfang", the first thing he thought of was Wang Peiyu, because there were many Peking Opera duets in the movie, "Dragon Play Phoenix", so the crew called Wang Peiyu: "Mr. Mei said that the only one who can sing Mei Lanfang at the moment is Wang Peiyu." After this incident, Wang Peiyu's position in the Peking Opera circle was completely stabilized, and this also gave the ambitious Wang Peiyu a new idea.
Young and crazy, gambling on everything to innovate, and finally losing ground
Maybe it was the youthful madness, or maybe it was the ambition, and this young girl, under the flash and the honor, began to be dazzled and overconfident.
In 2004, Wang Peiyu quit all his jobs, gave up a bright future to start a business, and wanted to complete the transformation from actor to boss. However, it backfired, and within a few years, she failed because of poor management and the difficulty of innovation to gain the approval of the older generation of actors and audiences. Before that, any doubts and ridicules wang Peiyu had for the outside world were regarded as contempt for his own talents and jealousy of the young man's flesh and blood.
After this battle, Wang Peiyu seemed to have grown up overnight, she knew that she was too young and crazy, she overestimated her own ability, and underestimated the complexity of society. If you say that you will continue to rely on Peking Opera to eat in the future, then you must work harder, and only with the recognition of the audience and the appreciation of the master can you bring enough fame to yourself to resist all kinds of obstacles on your way forward.
Facing the sea of stars and stars of Peking Opera, Wang Peiyu, who has suddenly woken up, finally has his most determined goal, so that Peking Opera can be passed on and contributed his life to the development of Peking Opera.
He suddenly woke up and began to embark on a journey, vowing to be the inheritor of Peking Opera
After that, Wang Peiyu began a variety of attempts to promote Peking Opera. In 2010, Wang Peiyu and her friend Ma Qian began to try to spread Peking Opera in a similar form of concert, and the Qingyin Society was born. Several Qingyin will be held down, the effect is good, so the two in 2016 are more selected old opera classic fragments, coupled with the popularization of Peking Opera knowledge, with rich and diverse forms and innovations, let Peking Opera fans have enough enjoyment, but also take this "let a Peking Opera white one and a half hours to understand the Peking Opera old students."
Since 2016, Wang Peiyu has pioneered the integration of the bullet screen into the Qingyin Society, which has become a fixed link, and she believes that the bullet screen is an extension of stage interaction and Peking Opera dialogue, and the beginning of attracting audiences to understand Peking Opera.
In the following years, Wang Peiyu was active on various platforms, with her exquisite appearance, and countless fans of brilliant singing circles. After a "Strange Flower Conference", the fans of the social platform directly soared from 70,000 to 1.48 million, which drew a strong stroke for the popularization and promotion of Peking Opera.
Wang Peiyu once mentioned in the program: "Many people say that they can't understand Peking Opera, in fact, you don't really appreciate and analyze it in your heart, in fact, everyone just lacks an opportunity to contact Peking Opera, I believe that once you fall in love with Peking Opera, you will always love it."
Wang Peiyu also commented on Guo Degang singing Peking Opera: "Teacher Guo did do a good job of interpreting the ecology of cross-talk, but saying that cross-talk saved Peking Opera, this is actually a relatively extreme statement, Teacher Guo does not understand Peking Opera, at most a ticket holder."
Write at the end
Wang Peiyu claims that she is active in various platforms, one is for fame and fortune, I like the feeling of being paid attention to, whether it is to pay attention to my own or my Peking Opera works, and the other is to carry forward Peking Opera through myself and stick to it as a lifelong career.
Whether in a variety show or a Peking Opera performance, Wang Peiyu always carries a sense of restraint and distance, and she knows that she is an artist rather than an entertainer. She said: "Hopefully in the next ten years, for twenty years, I will no longer be a person of interpretation, but purely a person of artistic presentation." ”
