Wang Zhijie, a famous Qin Dynasty scholar with his ancestral home in Beijing, was born in Yinchuan in 1942. In 1952, at the age of 10, he began to study drama, and the main workers were Qingyi and Zheng Xiaodan, and the teachers Chengcheng Qiansen and Li Linping were equal. In 1956, he worked as an actor in the Yinguang Theater Troupe, and in 1958, he transferred to the Ningxia Qin cavity troupe, where he served as the head of the Ningxia Qin Opera Troupe and the secretary of the party branch. The representative works mainly include "Yutang Spring", "Wang Zhaojun", "Qiu Jin", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Red Sister-in-law", "Yang Naiwu and the Little Cabbage", "Xijitan", "ShaJiabang", "Song of Longjiang", "Rhododendron Mountain", "The Book of Hongyan", "Qin Xianglian" and so on.
Wang Zhijie's "The Book of Hongyan" as Wang Baojun
Wang Zhijie tried his best to overcome weaknesses such as weakness and lack of passion in his performance style, and strived to sing with more connotation and strength, and reflected and summarized his performance style from practice, and further knew and understood the character image from a newer perspective. With the deepening of understanding, the depth of portraying characters is also deepening. For example, in the "Biography of Hongyan", Wang Zhijie played the role of Wang Baojun, a thousand gold ladies in the Xiangfu, who became a poor woman who was poor and poor in order to insist on marital autonomy and abide by the cold kiln.
How to master the tone of this character requires the actor to portray the character accurately. Wang Zhijie repeatedly pondered the experience, showing the tone of the characters from a move, a look, and an appearance. As soon as she appeared, she first appeared with a sad and worried look, and wordlessly conveyed to the audience the bitter thoughts of her expeditionary husband and the difficulties of her current livelihood. She is dignified and deep, although she is wearing a cloth shirt, she still does not lose the demeanor of everyone's bridesmaids. When leaving the kiln, she uses a series of figures to express the mood of this character, such as gently turning over the water sleeves to show that she resists the wind and cold; shrinking slightly, and then perking up her spirit and bowing her head to step out of the kiln door, these figures are calm and gentle, falling generously, showing the character and identity of the character. For example, when seeing Hongyan hovering overhead, he first stared and doubted, and then with a look of surprise and understanding, he measuredly reflected Wang Baojun's lofty ambition of "rich and noble cannot be adulterous, and poor and lowly cannot be moved". In December 1985, Wang Zhijie participated in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Young and Middle-Aged Actors Competition with this play, and won the first prize in the performance, and Ningxia Daily published an article to comment and praise.
