Kang Wansheng, Deng Muwei and Meng Guanglu, three famous brass-faced actors, are also very good Peking Opera masters among the disciples of qiu Pai, and they are also disciples of Mr. Fang Rongxiang. From the performance point of view, both singing and doing have their own advantages, but there are certain deficiencies. Originally, as a lover, I had no right to point fingers at the famous Peking Opera masters who had become famous, but since the problem had been raised, I had to briefly talk about my personal opinions.
I. Mr. Kang Wansheng:
Mr. Kang Wansheng is the oldest of the three, entering the professional Peking Opera Troupe since childhood, and during the Cultural Revolution, he was sent to the Second Bicycle Factory as an ordinary worker, but he had a passion for the art of Peking Opera and never gave up shouting and practicing his voice. Later, as the situation changed, he returned to the stage he loved as he wished.
Mr. Kang's voice range is wide and high, and it can be said that he is one of the three famous Peking Opera masters, and the innate conditions of his voice are the best. At the same time, he spares no effort when performing, with his thick Dantian qi and innate back-of-brain resonance, he can often give the majority of fans and friends a super shocking feeling. Especially after retirement, he was more rejuvenated with a second artistic youth. No matter where or what the situation was, he agreed with great enthusiasm. And in the rare year, there was also a pristine, mike-free solo concert that was sought after by theater lovers across the country.
But Mr. Kang's weakness is that typhoons are more casual and slightly slack in performances. The portrayal of characters is relatively crude, especially the hook face is a major fatal flaw of his.
2. Mr. Deng Muwei:
Mr. Deng is under Mr. Kang and a few years older than Meng Guang. The congenital conditions are not very good. But he studied hard, spoke scientifically, and drew nourishment from other art forms such as calligraphy and painting. Gradually stood out among the three actors, and more than 10 years ago, it was firmly at the top of the list. In 1991, he participated in the National Peking Opera Television Competition and won the Best Performance Award, and in 1992, he won the 9th Drama Plum Blossom Award. He is steady, handsome, and delicately portrays characters. It can be said that he is the closest master to the true meaning of Qiu Pai's art. Whether it is the old, strong, crazy, or the old and stable and spicy of Yao Qi; whether it is Xu Yanzhao's strength and loyalty, or Bao Zheng's integrity and selflessness; whether it is Cao Cao's great talent and treachery, or Pan Renmei's inaction, all of them are portrayed by him as entering the wood and three points, Wei Miao Wei Xiao.
But if you have to look for Mr. Deng's weakness, I think his typhoon is too warm, lacking in agility and humor. In the Wu Pen Ji that he cooperated with Ma Zhiming, he let the horse's gag be ridiculed, and the scene play was very embarrassing. Only after retirement, in the cross-talk Peking Opera "Fishing" cooperated with Liu Guijuan, there was a little humor component, which is also a big progress.
3. Mr. Meng Guangyi:
Mr. Meng is the youngest of the three masters and the only actor who has not yet retired and is active on stage. But his innate condition is also the worst of the three actors. His vocal range is too narrow and his tone is too heavy. I had the honor of compiling a batch of materials for the Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe in the mid-1990s, from which I learned that Mr. Meng himself was loyal, selfless, tolerant and generous, and had an excellent mass base. At the same time, he was extremely humble and diligent, worked hard to seek advice, and achieved results that were difficult for others to achieve. On the stage, he never takes advantage of it, and every performance is a desperate song and a performance with his life. At present, among the flower-faced actors of the younger generation of Tsumon, there is no one who is shoulder to shoulder with him. It can be said that he is currently the flag bearer of qiu Pai's flower face on the Tsumen stage.
But his weakness is also very prominent, for example, because the range is too narrow, so when singing, often use high cavity to raise the height, although it has been strongly applauded by some audiences, but this is harmful to his artistic life and not beneficial. In addition, he played the kuiyin of his mentor Mr. Fang Rongxiang to the extreme, but he did not know that this kind of play was getting farther and farther away from the essence of Qiu Pai art.
In summary, Kang, Deng and Meng, the three famous Peking opera masters, are everyone on the Peking opera stage in our city and even the whole country. Artistically, each has its own advantages and characteristics, and I admire and like these three people from the heart.
