Yang Shuo after applying makeup
With the rise of ancient style and national tide, the popularity of Hanfu continues to rise. On the streets of Xi'an, places of interest, parks and green spaces, people are often seen wearing Hanfu to take pictures and check in. However, the reporter found that at the same time as the rise of Hanfu, more and more young people began to try opera makeup, check in opera photos, and get in touch with opera culture.
Qin cavity photo "private custom"
"How old is my sister this year", "65 years old", "It will make you 40 years younger in a while"...... One winter morning, the reporter walked into the "Qin Feng Film Club", makeup artist Xin Hongxia was putting on makeup for 65-year-old Yin Ailing, "I came here, I accidentally brushed the live broadcast of this studio yesterday, I was so excited, I asked the boss's address, I went out at six o'clock this morning, and I came from Wugong County, Xianyang City." ”
After putting on makeup, putting on a headdress, changing into clothes, and approaching the role of Qin Yan step by step, Yin Ailing looked left and right in front of the mirror, "I have never looked so good, and I am reluctant to remove my makeup." Today, I will go back to the village and continue to sing and perform in the village. She is going to shoot three groups of characters this time, with different makeup corresponding to different costumes, "I have run to the backstage to watch the actors countless times before, and I have watched it for almost a lifetime, and today my dream has come true." From Xiaohuadan to Da Tsing Yi, three age groups, wearing costumes, I played a woman's life in one day, which was too enjoyable. ”
It is said that there is no song without music, and there is no drama without makeup. The magical charm of Chinese opera is closely related to the makeup of opera, among which, the makeup of the Qin stage is very exquisite. Xin Hongxia said, "The makeup of opera is what makeup looks like." There is no distinction between genders and ages, but based on the personality of the opera characters, they are dressed up according to the proportions of each person's eyes and face shape, and help the actors enter the role through makeup to better interpret the role. ”
Powdering, eyebrow hooking, rouge, red lips, brow stickers...... Every time he completed a makeup process, Yang Shuo had to say, "Sister Xin, how can I be so beautiful", and put on the crown of Diancui, under the wonderful hands of the makeup artist, the fashionable girl Yang Shuo became an elegant and dignified "concubine", and the strong and exquisite makeup made Yang Shuo amazed. However, after a set of photos were taken, she exclaimed, "My head hurts too much, take off the hood." It's not easy for Qin Yan to be an actor, I'm so miserable just taking a photo, after a big scene, dancing with a knife and a sword, it's too hard. ”
27-year-old Feng Kexing also came to shoot Qin's photo, he just shaved his beard and was ready to play the role of Dan. In "Qin Feng Photography Club", the customer's dress and style are designed according to the classic singing of Qin Yan, and each set of makeup reflects the character characteristics of the character. "Wang Baochuan", "Taoyuan Borrowing Water", "Picking up the Jade Bracelet", "Zhaojun Out of the Plug", ...... Different scenes, different actions, and different stories bring different experiences to customers. When the photo is completed, the old man in the year of the sixtieth birthday will add the shyness and beauty of the concubine when she is drunk, and the thin and dry young man can shoot the breath of Changhong who goes to the meeting with a single knife, and the opera makeup vividly interprets the beauty of opera.
Fill in the gaps and help fans realize their dreams
In Xi'an, many Qinhua actors know the makeup artist Xin Hongxia, and know that she has a pair of wonderful hands, and can vividly portray an opera character through opera makeup. "Qin Feng Film Society" has been open for ten years, speaking of the original intention, the owner and photographer Liang Jian said frankly, "For people who love opera, the backstage of the stage has always been a mysterious field. Many people have a dream of opera since they were young, and they are eager to dress up as characters in opera, which requires wearing opera costumes and putting on opera makeup, but this was very difficult more than ten years ago, and the costumes of professional troupes are not easy to borrow. At that time, there was no one to fill this gap, so we came up with the idea of opening a photography studio specializing in Qin cavity. ”
Speaking of which, Xin Hongxia and Liang Jian are both insiders in the Qin dialect industry. Xin Hongxia used to be a well-known Dao Ma Dan actor in the Qinqiang Theater Troupe of Baoji, but as she grew older, it became difficult to perform martial arts, and she had the idea of retreating behind the scenes. She said, "In the first few years, I took my makeup box to the square and park to make up the fans and ticket holders of the self-music class, but I didn't expect it to be sought after by many Qin lovers. I thought that even if I didn't sing anymore, I would stay in the industry, so I went to Beijing to learn Xi makeup and character modeling from the famous makeup artist Ma Jing, and really entered the makeup artist industry. ”
Liang Jian is Xin Hongxia's husband, who used to be an opera martial arts actor, and sang opposite Xin Hongxia, and later changed to professional stage design, painting the set for the troupe for ten years. The couple's endless love for Qin Yan makes this opera studio look a little different. "People want to be ancients through makeup, and we provide the environment, the costumes, the makeup, the photography and the post-production. With a place like ours, theater fans can realize their dreams and become the protagonists on the stage. Liang Jian said.
It is reported that seventy or eighty percent of the customers who come to the "Qin Feng Film Society" to take pictures come from the five northwestern provinces and regions, and the other part comes from other provinces and cities, such as Henan Opera, Yue Opera, Peking Opera, and Huangmei Opera...... Xin Hongxia said frankly, "We are not only an opera photography studio here, but also a paradise for customers to experience opera culture and realize their dreams." In the past, I sang by myself and fulfilled my dreams, but now I put on opera makeup for customers, and I feel very happy to see their excitement, and I feel very happy to be able to help them fulfill their dreams, and I feel very valuable. ”
An innovative way to promote the culture of opera
When applying makeup to customers, Xin Hongxia did not forget to broadcast live on platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, "Wearing opera makeup, you will fall in love with opera, the charm of traditional culture is really not blown", "You can feel the shock of national quintessence culture across the screen", Xin Hongxia's mobile phone screen has netizens leaving messages from time to time. "We hope to dedicate what we have learned to everyone through various platforms, especially to popularize the technology of makeup, so that the actors in the industry can change and improve their makeup skills. The reporter learned that Xin Hongxia has 120,000 fans on Douyin alone.
Chinese opera is a representative of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and opera photography itself is also an innovative form of promoting opera culture. Yang Shuo told reporters, "Although I have seen Qin Yan before, I am not a fan of drama and I don't know how to play." But after playing the character, through the imitation of movements and expressions, I suddenly understood the character, and I also fell in love with Qin Yan. ”
For Qin Cavity, Feng Kexing is completely an "outsider", "I accidentally swiped it on Douyin, and I thought it was very interesting, so I wanted to try it, shoot a group of traditional Qin Opera characters, and record the classics of Qin Cavity art with images." Liang Jian said frankly, "In addition to opera lovers, some customers feel that the opera makeup looks good after watching the live broadcast." But in the process of their experience, they will find that it takes more than an hour to put on an opera makeup, and it is a fresh experience to put on their heads and eyebrows...... This process is like experiencing a traditional opera knowledge experience class, allowing them to understand the difficulty of opera actors on stage for one minute and ten years off stage, and feel the charm of opera through experience. ”
Professional team, exquisite makeup, exquisite opera costumes, and vivid character movements...... Liang Jian told reporters, "We are not only applying makeup and taking pictures, but also hope to let more young people know opera, fall in love with opera, discover the beauty of opera through opera makeup, promote and promote opera culture, and produce the effect of '1+1>2', which is what makes it more meaningful for us to do this, and it is also a little bit of dedication to traditional art by our husband and wife." ”
