In history, what is the story of Lei Fengnian?

Teacher Lei Fengnian, a famous Jin Opera performance artist, a famous Xiaosheng master of the original Jin Zhongjin Opera Troupe, and a famous student of Jin Opera.

The artist Lei Fengnian we are going to walk into today is a rare Jin opera on the stage of today's Jin opera. Lei Fengnian was born in Hulan Township, Wenshui County, and he became attached to the opera, which seems to be destined in the dark.

I started to learn drama not in school, in the village, at that time my teacher was called Guan Wenfu, he taught himself this thing, he felt that he could teach, and he taught himself solidly, especially the board eye, it was the use of seven plate styles, board eyes, in 1958, he was admitted to the Qi County Troupe, although the county troupe was not formally practiced, but also practiced some foundations, not solid, no stunts, general, not people Qi County Troupe has no talent, it is that he was not able to do anything at that time, and he is playing every day. My own conditions are better, figure, appearance, voice, I played a Lei Feng when I was learning Lei Feng, Lei Feng was not played by himself in the past, it was one of our directors, or our teacher Yan, people have official business, they want to go to Beijing for a meeting, and they don't know where to hold a meeting, this can't be played, and they are gone, the troupe sent people away, so they let themselves take on this role, and they played this Lei Fengnian, and they are called Lei Fengnian, people are based on this, don't look at this name, Lei Feng, he is a bumper harvest, During the Chinese New Year, people inadvertently said that Lei Fengnian played Lei Feng well, and some people said that Lei Feng played Lei Feng and was good, which was unintentional, and these things appeared.

In 1963, Lei Fengnian, who had studied drama for less than five years, ushered in the first big drama of his artistic career, playing the protagonist Lei Feng in the modern drama "Lei Feng" in Jin Opera. After playing "Lei Feng", the leaders of the Jinzhong Youth League can be said to have taken a fancy to themselves, and they want to transfer themselves over, they want to transfer themselves, so they will take an opportunity, the Jinzhong Youth League wants to go to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to perform the "Spring Blossoms", let themselves play a role, to play a kid, at that time, I also tried myself, okay, I played that role at that time, it can be said that it was okay, and it was recognized by the Jinzhong Troupe. In 1965, I was officially transferred to the Jinzhong Jin Troupe here, and in 1965 I came to prepare for the North China Show, and the North China Show was ready to be arranged. He (the teacher) asked you, where are you from, where are you going, what are you doing, you do it manually, it is also a question, because why do you want to move, so although this thing is pressure, but at that time I did learn a lot from the perspective of the director, and I also learned a lot of things from the understanding of this script, at that time I was in the second troupe of the Jinzhong Jin Theater, and there was a director of the Central Academy of Drama who was going to graduate, and we rehearsed "Shajiabang" , I was also the Guo Jianguang who went to play at that time, so I had never been in contact with his request at that time, and I couldn't understand what others meant, because the acting in the past was the program of opera, not the role of playing this character, so this acceptance is worse than others. "Sha Jiabang" is mainly the one he asked for in the fifth "persistence", I can't answer what he asked, what kind of character do you want to play, what can you do in this difficulty, how should you be, I really can't answer. After the guidance of others, I still have to watch this, especially when I watched this video and watched the movie, I don't know, I asked people, in the past, I just made my own movements, there was no interior, there was no meaning in the play, what he asked was that you should use the opera program to express the characters, not too natural, this is opera, so it can't be completely a drama performance, but what he showed was the way to ask the drama, and he really benefited a lot. At that time, he really acted okay, because he had good conditions, a good voice, and good conditions given by his parents.

Sometimes a person can't hold back his tears, it can be said that this is the case, because of what, because he felt that he had too little knowledge of opera, too little basic knowledge, no knowledge of skills, and no understanding, so he cried secretly. A director asked himself, Lei Fengnian, how did you perform, I said my reasons, what did you say, I can't see what you are performing, what I want, you have to perform the thing you said, the meaning of what you say, I don't see it, I am the audience, I have to watch the thing you said, whether it is in your eyes, through your opera figure, through your eyes, you don't have that thing, I can't see what you say, You just don't succeed, you come down and think about this thing well, you have to think about this thing in the future, you have to be a good actor, you have to understand this, you don't understand it, if you understand, you can say it, but I can't see this thing of you, this thing itself, because the foundation is not good, that thing is not good to perform, you know, The practice is basically late, and you have to practice if you are late, because the Jinzhong Jin Opera Troupe has a group of teachers who have come back from the Jinzhong Art School, and you have a group of teachers who are here to watch, and you can greet your body, sing, and recite at any time, and people are very helpful to you. Our troupe learned three plays from the south, "Mending the Pot", "Passing the Gun", and "Fighting the Library", and we are the main actors of "Mending the Pot", and "Mending the Pot" performed by myself, Zhang Mingqin, and Zhang Quanxing. Modern drama does give itself a lot of nutrition, and it has more things to show characters than old dramas, so it is said that the restoration of old dramas, one's own improvement, and acting in modern dramas are very related factors.

The row of "Pear Blossoms Return to Tang", in the past, I went to Beijing to perform, and planned to make myself match Cheng Lingxian's "Pear Blossoms Return to Tang", which used to be called "Three Please Fan Pear Blossoms", not "Pear Blossoms Return to Tang". Who invited the three invitations, Xue Dingshan invited, basically all contradictions (drama conflicts), there should be more plays for themselves, and there should be "plays" for plays, so the performances are relatively successful. "Fan Lihua" I feel that the performance is not bad, and I find a way to play Geng Zhi, Yu Zhong, and suspicious, Geng Zhi is to have fewer flower things and fewer pretty things, so every action must be so concise; Something went wrong, and there was a lot of suspicion in the cave. His success also depends on the band's little help to him, gongs, drums, strings have helped him, which word he sings, he knows the drummer, he knows how long he sings in the middle of the white and white, and he knows how long he sings, and he knows how long he sings when he is ventilated.

"Xia Hedong" was performed in Beijing, and it was full of good, especially if he sang to serve the country, even if he was wronged and hated, and buried his loyal soul on the battlefield since ancient times, it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong for a while, and some people commented on it a hundred years later, and he was shocked when he applauded. I don't want to play Yan Shouting, I don't want to make a big fork, put a few forks, a few hanging hairs, you can't have anything, this Shanxi Jin Theater is doing a good job, I feel that there are some things that you don't have, you just go there to show off, because what is your own Hu Yan Shouting, I have seen a lot of our Hu Yan Shouting, I feel that although you are applauded, at most put a fork up is also a high-style appearance, I feel that I can't have too many pins.

Over the years, the Jin opera industry has formed a three-legged situation of Shanxi Jin Opera Theater, Taiyuan Jin Opera Art Research Institute, and Jinzhong Jin Opera Troupe. Regarding the different characteristics of the three major troupes, Lei Fengnian has his own views.

In the past, the performance of the Jinzhong Theater Troupe was different from the Taiyuan Experimental Troupe, the Taiyuan Experimental Troupe was to ask for these stunts, to these stunts, our stunts, the frame is not as good as others, the Jin Theater in Shanxi Province is more atmospheric, more generous, and another style, our troupe is to bring some drama things more, to be better than them, their own feelings, it wants to show the characters, more than the old play. When Mr. Liu Yuantong gave himself a platoon, he felt that he said it very well, when he was processing, when he went to Beijing, when he was processing, Liu Yuantong said, Fengnian, one is, you are not too fat people, according to your conditions, you have to find a way to get close to the role, have a personality, said this, I don't understand, I don't understand, what is the personality, I think, now looking back, I can't say that all of them are hanging hair, upside down tigers, forks, it is best to have few or even no in this person.

Several leaders are good to themselves, they have a characteristic, what the leader sues me, I can basically complete it, so people train me and treat me well, and with the cultivation of leaders, I have my own today, there is my drama on stage, it can be said that I have been acting for several years, the first day is myself and Cheng Lingxian's "Pear Blossom Returns to Tang", the second day is "Xia Hedong", and then "Jailer Redress", and Wang Wanmei's "Jailer Redress", all of which are starring themselves, so this play is one by one.

After retiring, Lei Fengnian put forward his own revisions to some of the dramatic plots that did not conform to the spirit of the times in the family drama "Xia Hedong" of the Jinzhong Jin Opera Troupe, hoping to re-adapt the classics in his lifetime, so that this old drama soaked in the painstaking efforts of several generations will continue to be performed from generation to generation. After retiring, I pondered at home alone, the play "Xia Hedong" has that thing to process, and I personally don't have the ability to reprocess "Xia Hedong", so I put forward some of my ideas.
