Peking Opera actors generally act coherently, have good feelings, and the singing section can maintain coherence and complete in one go. Film shooting is not the case, the actor's feelings have just brewed, singing a few words will change the next shot.
And the protagonists of the "model play" are not film actors, and they sing these few sentences over and over in front of the camera, and the feelings always can't come out. The performance and singing voice of the modern model opera of Peking Opera that people see and hear are recorded and filmed one by one, one shot at a time. Satisfied with the best phrases and shots before the clip is retained. Therefore, now the stage live singing, even if the same actor himself sings, it is almost impossible for a large section of singing to reach the level of the model play.
A very precious on-set photo of the modern model drama film "Wise Tiger Mountain" of Peking Opera. Yu Huiyong, who was responsible for music composition and vocal design, discussed singing, chanting and acting with Shen Jinbo (as chief of staff) and Shi Zhengquan (as Li Yongqi).

This is the seventh working photo of "Mobilizing the Masses". At the same time, I also saw that the staff in Yu Huiyong and the background were all wearing summer clothes with shorts and shorts, while Shen Jinbo and Shi Zhengquan were wearing winter costumes and sweating. Shen Jinbo in the play has been wearing a cotton military hat, and shen Jinbo can be seen from this picture, including Shi Zhengquan, who is not wearing a hat. It's summer filming winter scenes.
Many of the singing sections in the modern model opera film "Wise Tiger Mountain" in Peking Opera are very classic and have been sung for a long time, including Shi Zhengquan's singing of "Our Own Team Comes to the Front" and Shen Jinbo's singing of "We are the children and soldiers of workers and peasants". The chief of staff played by Shi Zhengquan, Played by Li Yongqi and Shen Jinbo, also left an unforgettable impression on people.
This movie, from the script to the actors, from the singing segment to the set, and even to every shot, can be said to be excellent. Not surprisingly, it received a lot of praise and praise as soon as it was released. The sensation it produced was unmatched by any film at the time.
The chief of the model drama should ask the Peking Opera actors to have a strong voice and avoid the dissonance of expression and voice during the later recording. When each film crew shoots a "model play", all of them will use the same recording method. At that time, the sound equipment was very poor, and the recording effect of the same period did not meet the required standards. The film crews had to do their best to ensure the passion and ensure that the voice was full of emotion.
The chief put forward high standards for the shooting of "model plays".
"Passion"! The chief said to the actors many times: "Passion is the beauty of the proletariat." ”
After many times of practice, the filming took into account the "passion" of the actors, and it was impossible to show the continuity of martial arts and dance, and the gong and drum points of Peking Opera were not waiting for anyone! At the same time, in order to shoot one move at a time and fall together, we will ignore the momentum of the entire martial arts, and if we do not do well, we will not be able to express "revolutionary passion" and martial arts skills. The film crew was really upset.
Director Xie Tieli asked Shi Zhengquan to open his neckline, revealing a thick neck and a huge throat knot that slid up and down when singing, performing the passion of a masculine iron man. Shi Zhengquan's passages of "his own team came to the front", "relatives na", "shame is difficult to say", etc.: the exaggerated Peking Opera flower face program, without the Peking Opera raising the voice to make a sound, with a thick baritone singing and reading, fully using the Peking Opera song and dance program to interpret the daily life of seeing each other and hating the late hands and feet.
"Loved ones"! The singing emotions of the voiceless voice are dissipated, so that the passion of the singing voice is divided.
The four words of "shame is difficult to say" sing the cute and thick guilt of the strong iron man in layers.
Recording and shooting like this, I don't know how many times it has been repeated, and finally interpreted a tough guy passion to move people.
A few shots down, Shi Zhengquan sweated. Since then, he has fixed the layered passionate singing in the film in future stage performances. Shi Zhengquan and Shen Jinbo's life-and-death duet performance has been perfected from a passionate and beautiful vocal cavity to a layered performance that no one has surpassed so far.
Afterwards, Shi Zhengquan was favored by Xie Tieli, the director of the film on the spot. Some film and television drama directors invited Shi Zhengquan to participate in the filming of several film and television dramas.
"If you have it, you must use it, and do everything possible to make our heroes more beautiful." The chief is an expert in Peking Opera, and the actors who play heroic characters are tossed around.
The chief looked around, "Shen Jinbo! Shouting at the actor of the chief of staff: "How do you have yellow muscles and thin muscles?" Is it not for you to eat? Obviously, compared with Shi Zhengquan's majestic, resolute, rugged, bold, heroic, and upright appearance, Shen Jinbo, the chief of staff of the second hero in the drama "Wise Tiger Mountain", has long played the imperial general of the traditional drama, and his hands and feet and appearance are somewhat different from the demeanor and temperament of the image of the revolutionary soldier.
Shen Jinbo was stunned and speechless, and after half a day he said, "I'm in good health, and I still feel a little fatter." ”
Once in Beijing, before the filming began, "Wise Tiger Mountain" was censored, and many chiefs were present, which was a formal review.
The head of the crew, Yu Huiyong, explained to the leaders who watched the performance
"Where is the percussion band sitting?" Offstage? "No, on stage."
"Why is it so loud? Take off the band's microphone. Rehearse later, and the microphone won't appear again.
The central leaders put forward their opinions, and the commander of the Peking Opera "Wise Tiger Mountain" did not see the resolute temperament of the revolutionary soldiers, but was like Zhuge Liang.
Singing the voice paragraph by paragraph, reading the white sentence by sentence, dancing with one hand and throwing one foot to be beautiful, and performing one performance after another. Shi Zhengquan's Li Yongqi's classic four words of "shame is difficult to say" that no one has surpassed so far sang the cute and thick guilt of the steel strong iron man layer by layer. Shen Jinbo's "We are the children and soldiers of workers and peasants" also sang an approachable kindness full of military and civilian fish and water conditions, and it is difficult for anyone to surpass. This is how the classic of the model play was created.
Shi Zhengquan's Li Yongqi's classic "shame is difficult to say" that no one has surpassed so far was created in this way
Yu Huiyong, the head of the crew, immediately wrote down these opinions, and Yu Huiyong kept saying next to the leader: "Please criticize the chief, we will improve..." ”
Peking Opera modern model drama "Wise Tiger Mountain" film shooting, because this is the first "model play" film, success or failure, related to the success or failure of the entire "model play" film series.
On October 1, 1970, after two years of shooting and repeated revisions, the "model" of the modern Peking Opera model drama film, "Wise Tiger Mountain", finally met with the audience. Directors Xie Tieli, Qian Jiang and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Peking Opera film "Wise Tiger Mountain" directed by them has also become a classic in the historical record.
