In the Guangdong Teochew opera industry, there is a national first-class actor from Raoping County, Chaozhou City, who not only created countless unforgettable roles on the stage, but also became the head of the Second Troupe of Guangdong Teochew Opera with his outstanding artistic talent and profound performance skills.
She is Zhan Shaojun.
Born in 1965, Ms. Zhan Shaojun began her artistic career in 1978, when she was admitted to Shantou Opera School. Over the next four years, she systematically Xi learned the performing arts of Teochew opera, laying a solid foundation for her future stage career.
After graduating in 1982, Zhan Shaojun was assigned to work in the first troupe of Guangdong Chao Theater and began her career as a professional actor.
On stage, Zhan Shaojun showed outstanding acting talent and a wide range of artistic talents. She is a swordsman, a horseman, and a boudoir, both of which are very challenging types of characters in Teochew dramas.
Dao Ma Dan requires the actor to have superb martial arts and dance skills, while the Boudoir requires the actor to delicately portray the inner world of the character. When Zhan Shaojun creates these characters, he can always perfectly integrate skills and emotions to leave a deep impression on the audience.
In more than 40 long and short repertoires, Mr. Zhan Shaojun has successfully created many classic roles. Whether it is Princess Babao in "Princess Eight Treasures", Princess Shuangjiao in "Zhang Chunlang Cutting Hair", or Meng Jiangnu in "Meng Jiangnu Passing", and Mu Guiying in "Mu Guiying", she can perform the role to the fullest, bringing a strong artistic shock to the audience.
Among them, the play "Eight Treasures Princess" won her the second prize of the second art festival of Guangdong Province, which is undoubtedly an affirmation of her artistic achievements.
In addition to playing the leading role in the repertoire, Zhan Shaojun has also performed overseas with the troupe many times, spreading the charm of Teochew opera to the world.
Her performance was not only loved by domestic audiences, but also won applause and praise from overseas audiences. These performances have not only broadened her artistic horizons, but also enhanced her popularity on the international stage.
In the artistic career of teacher Zhan Shaojun, she also actively participated in the inheritance and development of Teochew opera. As a director of the Shantou Dramatists Association, she has always been committed to promoting the innovation and progress of Teochew opera art.
She not only brought wonderful performances to the audience on the stage, but also cultivated more excellent reserve forces for Teochew Opera by teaching and mentoring a new generation of actors. Her dedication and efforts have made important contributions to the inheritance and development of Teochew opera art.
In recent years, Mr. Zhan Shaojun has taken over the position of head of the Second Troupe of Guangdong Chao Theater. In this new role, she continues to leverage her artistic talents and managerial skills to lead the team to achieve great results on the national and international stages.
She focuses on nurturing young actors and providing them with more performance opportunities and space for artistic development. At the same time, she is also committed to promoting the exchange and cooperation between Teochew opera and other forms of opera, injecting new vitality into the innovation and development of Teochew opera.
As an outstanding artist and leader, Zhan Shaojun has made outstanding contributions to the inheritance and development of Teochew Opera with her talent and hard work. She used her bright light on the stage to illuminate the way forward of Teochew opera, and became a model and example for a generation of Teochew opera people.
In the days to come, we look forward to Mr. Zhan Shaojun continuing to shine on the stage of Teochew Opera and bringing more wonderful performances to the audience.
I also hope that she can lead the continuous development of Teochew opera and make this wonderful flower of national art bloom with more brilliant brilliance.
