When it comes to Qiu Shengrong and Gao Shenglin, a joke is, "Mention this person, it is very famous": Qiu Shengrong is the founder of the Qiu Pai flower face of "Ten Pure Nine Qiu", and Goldman Sachs Lin is known as the "model of the Great Wusheng of the Yang Sect". These two Peking Opera performance artists were once "difficult brothers and brothers" in the Peking Opera circle, and they were also well-deserved "Pear Garden Double Masters", not to say unprecedented, at least they were also the last.
Both were born in 1915, Qiu Hangxian and Gao Qingkui had a very good friendship, the two sons of the two people, Qiu Shengrong and Gao Shenglin played together since childhood, about nine years old, the two entered the "Fu Liancheng" class at the same time, ranking in the "Sheng" character science drama. At that time, the Shengzi Section had Liu Shengtong, Li Shengbin, Li Shengzao, Zhao Shengbi, Sun Shengfu, and so on entering the science class first, known as the Dasheng Zi Family; and Gao Shenglin, Qiu Shengrong, Ye Shenglan, Yang Shengchun, Liu Shenglian, Ma Shenglong, Yuan Shengzhong (Yuan Shihai) and others were a little younger than one or two years old, and the time of entering the department was a few months later, and everyone used to call these people Xiaosheng Zike, in fact, they all studied and practiced together, and there was not much difference. Since joining the society, Gao Qiu has been playing together since childhood, and now learning to practice opera to eat and sleep and perform, it is inseparable, it seems that the focus is not far from Meng, Meng is not away from the focus, the Gao family does a big hanging for Goldman Sachs Lin, and will also make a piece for Qiu at the same time, and every time the Qiu family sends a good dish for Qiu Shengrong, it must be sent to Gao Ye. Gao Ping called Qiu Shengrong, and Qiu called Gao the second oldest, and he was called until the 1970s.
After Gao Qiu left school, Gao Basic took Gao Qingkui's class in Beijing for more than three years, during which time Gao Xia hung up the formal bid ding Yongli to study drama diligently as a teacher, and at the same time learned from some famous characters such as Gao Qingkui, Wu Yanheng, Xu Deyi, etc., while Qiu Qiu followed his father Qiu Guixian's hands to further study Qiu Yi, and in 1937, the Golden Pavilion Sun of the Shanghai Golden Theater went to Beijing to invite the corner, that is, the four little famous Dan Mao Shi came to organize a class, and some of the division brothers from Fu Liancheng's sitting in the department were gathered to apply for the south, and Mao Shilai hung the head card, and Gao Shenglin hung the second card. There are also Sha Shixin, Qiu Shengrong, Guan Shengxi, Jiang Shiyu, Ai Shiju, etc., all of whom are young people, energetic, plus neatly matched, working together, and singing on the beach is red. Gao Qiu in "Battle Wancheng" Gao Zhang Xiu, Qiu Cao Cao, Mao's Zou Shi, in "Changsakapo" Gao Zhao Yun, Qiu Cao Cao, Mao's Lady Mi, in the play starring Mao Shilai, Gao and Qiu are jointly acting... Everyone has been working together seamlessly, which is very popular with the Shanghai audience, and the contract expires, and the Golden Theater asks for another renewal.
When the second phase expired again, Mao Shilai led the class back to Beijing, and jin Tingsun, the general manager of the Golden Theater, did everything possible to retain Gao Shenglin, Qiu Shengrong, and Jiang Shiyu, and successively participated in the performances of Yan Jupeng, Ma Lianliang, Yang Baosen, Xi Xiaobo, Song Dezhu, Li Shengzao, Cheng Yanqiu and other people in the Golden Theater, which was quite popular. In the next two years, Gao and Qiu were influenced by the "no smoking, but not thousand" at that time, they were all confused and fell into the bad habit of big smoke, and the two gradually dropped from hanging two cards to three cards, "special cards", and then became the team of the Golden Theater (there were also Miao Shengchun, Furong Grass, Zhao Songqiao, Zhao Ruquan and other people in the team), their whole day was muddy, poor, to the point of exhaustion, a pair of colored pants worn by two people, to perform, sometimes Gao had to temporarily borrow Yuan Shihai's big leaning, or temporarily borrow other people's thick-bottomed boots, the two became" After the two big hidden (addicted) soldiers, sometimes the two people sang on stage by mistake, bubbled up, pu yan, hibiscus grass said: I would like to slap him twice! The two of them were ridiculed by everyone as "difficult brothers and difficult brothers". Around 1944, Gao Qingkui died of illness, Gao took his mother to Shanghai, and Qiu Guixian asked Qiu Shengrong to return to Beijing.
Since 1944, under the guidance of Shanghai Zhou Xinfang and Gai Mingtian, Goldman Sachs Lin's situation has improved somewhat, first with Gai Mingtian, Li Wanchun and other co-performers in the Shanghai Wusheng Conference, inviting Beijing-Tianjin-Shanghai Wusheng to participate, the grand situation is unprecedented, twice sensational on the beach; in 1947, in the Shanghai Golden Theater, with the daily literary and martial arts double hanging cards, and Li Shaochun on the Stage of Heavenly Toad, Tan Fuying of the Queen's Grand Theatre played against the stage without much trepidation, for more than a month, the three parties burst the gate every day, and finally rejoiced. Gao Youyi has performed with many famous artists, such as Mei Lanfang, Zhou Xinfang, Gai Mingtian, Cheng Yanqiu, Xiao Cuihua, Xiao Changhua, Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying, Xi Xiaobo, Yan Jupeng, Yang Baosen, Li Hongchun, Qiu Shengrong, Yuan Shihai, Ma Fulu, Li Wanchun, Li Shaochun, Yan Huizhu, Tong Zhiling, Ye Shengzhang, Du Jinfang, Li Yuru, Miao Shengchun, Huang Guiqiu, Furong Cao, etc., especially the "Serial Set" co-starring with Qiu Shengrong and Ye Shengzhang, and Yan Huizhu's "Farewell to the Overlord", and Yuan Shihai's "Red Force Palace" (Hanging double-headed cards), and Xiao Cuihua's "Zhan Wancheng", and Gai Mingtian's "Yanyang Lou", and Xiao Changhua's "Falling Horse Lake", and Zhou Xinfang's "Zhan Changsha" are the most classic, thus laying the foundation for his artistic status as a great martial artist who will later be famous throughout the country.
After liberation, the Wuhan side warmly invited Gao Shenglin to Han to join China's first state-run Wuhan Peking Opera Troupe, helped him quit his addiction to smoking, paid off his debts for him, and gave him a higher status (deputy regimental commander) politically, gave him a high salary (high salary) economically, and artistically created a good environment for him to develop his own personalized martial arts in Wuhan: Goldman Sachs Lin performed "Picking Chinese Cars", "Changsaka slope", "One Arrow Vengeance", "Zhuangyuanyin", "Tielong Mountain" in Han for a long time with Wusheng hanging head cards. Zhan Wancheng", "Evil Tiger Village", "Serial Set", "Luoma Lake", etc., Hongsheng dramas include "Ancient City Society", "Hanjinkou", "Huarong Dao", "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", "Walking Maicheng", etc.; performing laosheng dramas "Fishing and Killing Families", "Beating Sticks Out of boxes", "Zhan Taiping", "Xiaoyaojin", "Xu Ce Running City", "Jiujiangkou", etc., starring in new plays such as: "Wen Tianxiang", "Breaking Tong Guan", "Zheng Chenggong", "Qi Jiguang", "Anti-Xuzhou", etc., modern dramas are: "White Haired Girl", "Leopard Bay Battle", "Jie Zhenguo" wait. He also performed many times in Han for Chairman Mao, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and other party and state leaders. After liberation, Under the care of the party, Gao Shenglin was able to give full play to his artistic advantages and potential in Han, and finally gradually created his own unique artistic style and became a family of his own, leaving a high artistic level, artistic achievement and artistic status in the history of Peking Opera.
Qiu Shengrong only formed his own Ban Rong Society to perform in 1947, and at the beginning of the liberation of the 1950s, he cooperated with Tan Fuying to establish the Taiping Peking Opera Troupe, and later changed it to the Beijing Peking Opera Second Troupe with Tan, created and arranged new plays such as "Xianghe", processed and sorted out traditional plays such as "Cho Period", "Bai Liangguan", "Broken Secret Stream", "Muhu Guan", "Stolen Royal Horse" and other traditional repertoire, creating many new singing voices and new singing methods. Joo's personal style stands out among them. In the mid-1950s, Qiu Shengrong, Together with Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying, Zhang Junqiu and Zhao Yanxia, formed the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe, which carried out a series of new repertoire and the collation and processing of traditional repertoire. Qiu has outstanding new creations in "Qin Xianglian", "Chisang Town", "Tanyin Mountain", "Zhao Orphan", "Zhuang Farewell", "Sacrifice of Life", "Battle of Guandu", "Hai Rui Dismissal", modern drama "Lin Zexu", modern drama "Cuckoo Mountain", "Letter from the South", "Snowflake Drifting" and other plays. Qiu's artistic style is also becoming more and more perfect, and his achievements are becoming more and more prominent. Based on the singing style of his father Qiu Guixian, Qiu Shengrong absorbed the singing skills of the Jin school and the performance art of the Hao and Hou schools, forming a new style of copper hammer and frame flower face, called "Qiu Pai". In terms of performance, he is also the leader of the Hao and Hou factions, and learns from Zhou Xinfang, enriching his means of portraying characters, taking the strengths of Lao Sheng, Dan Jiao, and even Qu Yi and local dramas, and at the same time, in order to make up for the disadvantages of his thin body, he works the scheduling of faces, costumes and stages. Because of his achievements in singing and acting, after the 1950s, he replaced the situation of the Jinpai for 30 years and dominated the world and dominated the world. He has carried out an all-round exploration of the singing, reading, doing, playing and dancing of Jingxing, and the Qiu Pai art he created has created a new style of the Jingxing generation with the mellow singing voice and the performance that deeply reflects the emotional personality and spiritual temperament of the characters in the play.
The two of them, from their close friends in their childhood, to the "old partner" after leaving the department to share a pair of colored pants on the beach, are really suffering and sharing, and they feel sorry for each other. After liberation, they went north and south, and although they had few opportunities to meet each other, they were still heart-to-heart with each other. Qiu went to Han twice to perform, Goldman Sachs Lin went to the station to welcome him to the hotel every time, and Gao went to Beijing twice for a meeting, and Qiu Shengrong would go to the hotel to meet with him. One year, the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe went to Guangzhou to perform, passing through Wuhan, Gao Wenxun rushed to the station, and the two talked warmly at the carriage window, until the train started to leave the platform, and Qiu suddenly stuck out his head from the window and shouted, "Old man, pay attention to take care!" ”
In 1962, Gao "walked horses for generals" to Beijing to perform sensationalally, this is another great opportunity for the two to reunite, from the pick-up station to the send-off for more than a month, the two are almost every day, reminiscing about old feelings, watching performances, exchanging plays, joint performances, reflecting a deep brotherhood, at the end of the performance, Gao and Qiu co-starred in "Changsaka Slope", "Serial Set", sensational Beijing, Beijing and Tianjin all famous artists, famous horns, all attended the scene to observe and study, forming a climax of horse-for-horse exchange. The Beizhan Theater, which has more than 3,000 people, is limited to two tickets per person, does not sell group tickets, and the more than 6,000 theater tickets originally scheduled for two days are sold out in two hours. According to the audience's request, there were only two more performances after that.
In the turbulent years, Both Goldman Sachs Lin and Qiu Shengrong were shocked and locked up in the "cowshed". In 1969, Qiu, who was controlled and used, went to Wuhan with the model group and proposed to see the high side of the "cow" and the military deputies agreed to meet on the stage, and the two were silent in front of the military deputies, and they had to say in half a day: Comrade Sheng Lin, we must believe that the masses believe in the party and properly transform the world outlook... The people next to them listened to this kind of "official talk" at that time, and they really cried and laughed. By the end of November, Goldman Sachs Lin was summoned to Beijing to study "Sha Jiabin" with the Wuhan Peking Opera Troupe (during this period, Gao also designed some rafters for Tan Yuanshou), he took the time to go to the Qiu family, as if entering the Non-Entry Zhang Wang, Qiu Across the window saw that it was high, quickly ran out, trembling and shouting "Second Elder! Gao Quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Second brother! So the two embraced each other like children for ten minutes, allowing tears to flow from their cheeks, and Mrs. Qiu and Qiu's son-in-law were at a loss for a moment. Qiu took Gao into the house and sat down, that is, he took off Gao Lux sneakers on one leg on his knees, held his feet in his arms, changed into cotton shoes for him, and handed him Chinese cigarettes, at this time the two excited emotions calmed down, and the old brothers talked quietly and talked for a long time.
Goldman Sachs Lin returned to Han after completing his mission. Two years later, in October 1971, Qiu Shengrong died of illness, and the two never saw each other again, and later in 1973, Goldman Sachs Lin transferred to Beijing as the vice president of the China Academy of Opera, afraid of seeing things and thinking about things, and never dared to enter the gate of the Qiu family along the West River. Mr. Gao also died in 1989, and now the old brothers and sons may be acting in "Serial Set" and "Nagasaka Slope" in another world, continuing their brotherhood!
