Meng Guanglu especially likes to raise cockroaches

"It's me, I'm Guanglu!" What, busy or not? It's just too busy! I can stay at home for 5 or 6 days a month, and I always feel that I don't have enough time. Meng Guanglu answered me like this on the phone.

In recent years, Meng Guanglu has indeed been busy enough, and whenever his own Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe has a heavy performance, he is always indispensable. And recently, he was seconded to the Beijing Opera House, basically a year to go to a big play, "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" in the "He Yan", "Mei Lanfang" Chu Minyi, "Yuan Chonghuan" in the Huang Taiji, are still the main roles. After rehearsing one, he is performing one after another, and the next time is interspersed into the rehearsal field, which is not to mention the festivals and special evenings he participates in every year on CCTV and various TV stations, various theaters and stadium-style variety shows, charity performances, condolences, and when various performances and competition activities are guests and judges. Take the sarcasm ravages of the previous year, Meng Guanglu was relatively idle, at that time, he showed me one of his memorandum books, good fellow! During that time, he participated in nearly 20 invited performances.

He especially likes to raise cockroaches, and the depth of his research on this is also very famous among his peers

Meng Guanglu's wife, Xiao Wang Xiangfu, taught her son and fully supported her husband's career. Since Meng Guanglu's career became busy, she became the family's "full-time life secretary", although her son Meng Zhaolong also liked Peking Opera, but was more interested in bel canto singing, Meng Guanglu was guided by snobbery and respected his son's hobbies. Today, 17-year-old "Xiao Guanglu" is a student at the affiliated middle school of Tianjin Conservatory of Music. Speaking of his father, Meng Zhaolong could not hide the pride on his face, but at the same time he also had a belly "opinion" on his father: my father was too busy, every time he came home, my mother and I always poured out their enthusiasm for him like entertaining guests, taking care of his life, even so we still felt that we did not do enough, because he had too little time at home. Sometimes, Meng Guanglu came back from the outside, and as soon as he entered the house, he greeted his wife and son, but he didn't see anyone for half a day, but his son's voice came from the back room: Daddy, come here, CCTV is broadcasting the drama you played! Whenever this happens, Meng Guanglu's heart can't say what it's like: It seems that my family is more and more fond of my art, and in reality, am I too busy to be less important in their hearts? But the ensuing affection made his worries disappear, and his wife called for face wash water to let him wash away the dust all the way, and then the son lifted the lid of the piano and shouted while playing the familiar melody: Dad! Come and hear if my singing level has improved recently?

For cars, Meng Guanglu has a special love. A few years ago, he drove a Jetta, and not long ago, he bought a 3.0 displacement Buick Regal and gave the Jetta to his wife. But Meng Guanglu did not like the new and the old at all, he said: I especially like my Jetta, it has followed me for many years, and has served me for an unknown number of times. Now the conditions are better, there are better cars, but you can't forget your old friends! It's like a person who moves to a new home can't forget his old neighbor. So, I often left the Buick to my wife on some more casual occasions or leisure time, and I took the Jetta myself and drove it for a while, recounting the old story with my "old friends". When driving, Meng Guanglu has his own "fast and slow" principle, in order not to delay the performance, Meng Guanglu often has to drive fast on the highway, and the dust passes. On the road surface of the big city, Meng Guanglu listened to the singing voice he was studying in the car, and he always thought of abiding by the rules and the law, not splashing pedestrians with water on rainy days, encountering elderly people who are slow to move, and slowing down or stopping to give way to these more specific things. He said: When I see the old people walking in a faltering manner, my heart will always be sour, and it is not easy to run for food and clothing in life. When I see them, I think of my old parents who worked hard.

Guanglu also has a habit of wiping his own car. He said: "I don't wipe my car to save ten yuan and eight yuan of money, but to find a point of convergence with the car for emotional integration, that feeling is like talking to an old friend, very good! For his favorite car, Meng Guanglu also has his own set of theories: when the conditions are better in the future, I want to buy a VOLVO-S80 type car, which looks like both taste and not excessive publicity, I have tested a test drive, the performance and feeling are also particularly ideal, I heard that the safety factor is also high. Honda, Audi and other cars, I think its appearance has the feeling of refusing to be thousands of miles away, from their temperament, I think it is not suitable for me.

Meng Guanglu especially likes to raise clams, and the number of clams he raises, the rich variety, and the depth of his research on this tao are also very famous among his peers. Just like that, there are thousands of cans of clams that he specially found someone to make, not only of different materials, but also stamped one by one with the stamp of "The Jar of Meng Guanglu of the Qiu Sect", which looks quite interesting. In addition to the yantai paperweight, sword iron ball, dagger seal, thangka embroidery, huqin flute, celebrity shadow photos and other collectibles and ornaments in his home of more than 100 square meters, there are also a wide variety of flowers and plants, cats and dogs, goldfish, earth turtles and bugs, which are also all kinds of complete, full of scenery, and live competition in a landscape located in the exhibition hall of the ecological park. Meng Guanglu was busy, but as soon as he returned home, he immediately immersed himself in it again, enjoying himself and being very proud. From time to time, he also revealed a little bit of naughty appearance that his wife and son were very familiar with.

It is also the case in life, doing things with dignity, talking on the ground and smashing pits

It should be said that what impressed People the most was the big flower face image he created on the stage such as Bao Gong, Yao Qi, Lian Po, and Dou Erdun, which was indeed in line with his personality, and Meng Guanglu was also such a person in life who did things in a dignified manner and spoke on the ground. He said: I especially like our performance style of Qiu Pai's flower face, a school of integrity, not angry and arrogant, and respectable. Many people know that Qiu Pai's Kong Wu, arrogance, and rigidity are full, but Qiu Pai also has a delicate and tender side that is not easy for people to detect! Moreover, Mr. Qiu Shengrong, Mr. Fang Rongxiang and I are all thin and small, but what tricks are needed to show their tallness and majesty on the stage? I think this is exactly what we need to study forever throughout our artistic lives. At the mention of Peking Opera, Meng Guanglu's eyes lit up, after all, this is his own business!

Now, Meng Guanglu has his own artistic accumulation and is also exploring the development of inheritance. The reform of the singing voice in "Exploring yin mountain", the humanization of the two characters of He Yan in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and the emperor Taiji in "Yuan Chonghuan" all reflect Meng Guanglu's new thinking: the rough integration of exquisite, multi-layered and multi-angle portrayal of the character side, more colorful, easier to communicate with today's young audience! This point is well reflected in Meng Guanglu's play. Many experts marveled: Meng Guanglu has made a new leap in art!

In fact, rigid and soft, thick and fine, love art and understand life, it is also Meng Guanglu's life pursuit. In addition to his intense life, he also has his own world. He loves his wife, his son, and he loves to study and fiddle with cars, and at the same time, antique calligraphy and painting, goldfish and cockroaches are his favorites. As for being able to sing the Jingdong drum and being good at other professions such as anti-string Peking Opera, Meng Guanglu believes that these are purely his own responsibilities as an actor, and there is nothing worth publicizing.

People who don't know him will never think that he is the most popular Peking Opera flower face today

Guanglu is now a national star, get... Receiving and enjoying the applause of the audience has long been a common thing for him. But he never made it clear that he came from a poor family and never had a big star shelf. Privately, people saw his often worn sports casual clothes, for makeup convenience has not been left hair on the bald head wearing a normal baseball cap, a bright and easy-going smile, people who do not know him how can not imagine, he is today's most popular Peking Opera big flower face celebrity. Influenced by his father, Guanglu loved Peking Opera since childhood. After studying Peking Opera, he felt that he had found a career that he could rely on and fight for all his life. After graduating from the Chinese Opera School that year, the school assigned him to the Henan Provincial Peking Opera Troupe for the first time. Since childhood, Guanglu, who has always had a persistent heart and has always been straightforward, decisively did not obey the distribution: I will not go! I come from Tianjin and know best that Tianjin is the real fertile land for the development of Peking Opera! I am familiar with the teachers, peers, and audiences there, and if I want to do this line, I want to go to Tianjin, and I want to go back to Tianjin! Finally, after some twists and turns, he became an actor in the early days of the Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe. Soon, through Lee... Introduced by the comrade, he went to Shandong to learn art with Mr. Fang Rongxiang, a famous artist of Peking Opera and a disciple of Qiu Shengrong. At that time, Guanglu's living conditions were not good, in order to be able to learn more from the teacher, while not delaying the rehearsal and performance in Tianjin's own troupe, Meng Guanglu often took the night train to Jinan, to the teacher's doorstep, often in the early morning, in order not to delay the rest of the teacher's family, he sat on the stairs in front of the teacher's house and waited until the teacher got up. Fang Rongxiang also loves this simple, generous and particularly spiritual young man - it is the artist's happiest thing to have someone who inherits his art well. Receiving the teacher's gift, meng Guanglu's singing standards, who had excellent talent, soon improved greatly. After tempering on various occasions and his own hard work, his Peking Opera performance level is now in full swing.

Meng Guanglu often said that it is precisely because he has lived a very hard life since he was a child, so he always reminds himself that he must take the things of people who are kind to him and his good friends in his heart. The beloved teacher Fang Rongxiang has been dead for fifteen or six years, but every time he goes to Jinan, Meng Guanglu always has to visit his master and mother at the Fang mansion, and he also has to take out his savings to do a filial piety for the old lady who has no economic income. Every time before Meng Guanglu arrived, Fang Rongxiang's old partner Zhang Yurong was like a son who was looking forward to returning, unable to sleep for several days, very excited. Not only that, but whoever has difficulties with his peers, Guanglu will express a love in different ways. The father of one of the actors in the troupe died, he pushed off a lot of performance activities, went to the actor's home, helped before and after, but also sent a heart; a Peking opera actor in Hubei and Meng Guanglu only had one side of friendship, Guanglu learned from other friends that the actor's relatives were terminally ill, so he quietly sent a few thousand yuan; a small opera performance theater opened, the economy is very difficult, the manager tentatively invited Meng Guanglu, I don't know if it is possible to use a high price to invite a big actor like him to come to help, Meng Guanglu happily agreed, and did not take anything!
