In history, what is the story of Wu Guilan?

Teacher Wu Guilan is a well-known Jin opera knife and Ma Dan master, a famous opera director, and a senior lecturer.

The artist we are going to walk into today, she is an actor, director, and teacher, and every turn of her identity is soaked in her sweat, showing her diligence and perseverance that are different from ordinary people. Myself, when I mentioned my family, I was also a hard-working child, I learned drama at the age of twelve in my hometown, because I learned drama, I didn't have a mother at the age of nine, and I didn't marry my father in my fifties, I didn't wear anything, I didn't wear anything, I didn't eat, I didn't drink, I didn't go to school and I didn't have a diploma, but my master Wang Yinzhu, he is a professional flower-faced actor, that's our old-timer in the Jin opera industry, but the other teachers are amateurs, that amateur learner drama, as long as you want, He will teach you, and he doesn't care if you are qualified enough, let's be honest with yourself, you don't have enough conditions for an actor, your eyes are small, your nose is flat, and your vocal cords are not very good, but the teachers, seeing that they love to learn, they also teach themselves, so Tsing Yi, Xiao Dan, and Dao Ma have all learned by themselves, and they have been studying for two years.

In 1955, they Datong Jin Opera Troupe They needed some children, they knew that we had an amateur troupe in Chiqiao Village, Taiyuan, and there were a lot of dolls, so he went to the selection of people and chose the three of us, the three of us came to Datong from Chiqiao Village and participated in the work of the Jin Opera Troupe in Datong City. Dou Da knows very few words, and he is a rural child, rustic, he doesn't understand anything, he can't understand what he says, he calls himself a soldier on the stage, people say order himself, you say a "second class head to the upper hall", you say I am a Jin ancestral hall person, said to be the head of the second class, the teachers and students in the background are laughing, but I suffered a big sin, the language is not good, the culture is not good, life is not good, it was too bitter at that time, the teachers and everyone ate a small pot of rice, and they came to give us three people at that time. There are a lot of people, eighteen yuan of living expenses, I eat some pickles, and I have to eat in the corner, I am afraid that people will see jokes, what do you know from the countryside, I have suffered for so many years, and then the teachers saw that they were diligent and studious, and when they came, they took this amateur troupe to learn the play, although it is not standardized, but I also know how to sing twice, but that is an amateur style, you can't do it when you get to the specialization of the Jin Opera Troupe, and start learning again. At that time, I had a special feeling that I had worked hard, got up early, my peers were still asleep, and I got up at five o'clock, when there was no classroom, and I was in the courtyard with the floor tiles, one by one, and I practiced the whole step, and they didn't get up after fifty laps of practice. There is a little story to tell you, I got up at five o'clock in the morning to practice, and they got up after they finished practicing, and the old artists scolded, seeing that you were too lazy, you look at the people, and got up at five o'clock to finish the exercises, and this peer started with himself, isolating himself, they got up under the mosquito net on the bed in the village, and they got up when they got up, and he was afraid of being scolded, and I couldn't afford them, and I had an extra heart when I was done, and you have an opinion about me. I stuffed a pillow in the bed net, I practiced, they got up and were scolded, young people are inevitably competing together, natural situation, little story.

Zhang Jinyuan's teacher, Xiao Jinzhi's teacher, Bian Zhensheng's teacher, these teachers have given themselves a lifetime of artistic strength, they are very grateful, what they will never forget is that they have finished the play and have to practice, and the power went out in the middle of the practice, this teacher Zhang Jinyuan put on a flashlight, shined on himself, continued to teach, continue to practice, I am so grateful, it's not like that, I can't act in those two plays, and I can't win so many awards. Later, modern drama began to have bad vocal cords, called himself to the backstage, did not let himself go, most of the conditions were not good, and were transferred, but he left himself and did not let himself go, called himself to see the costumes, and showed the costumes, makeup, and set up for the actors, and stayed for so many years. You see that I also feel gratified, since the age of fourteen came to the literary and artistic world, and stayed for a lifetime, this mood is also good, but there are also bad ones, that is, alone in Datong, no one knows, no relatives, no relatives are also bitter.

In 1980, there was a gap when the Agency for Cultural Affairs held this "training class", and I wanted to learn it, but I told the leaders and said that it was a gap. That when I went to Taiyuan to study, the leader was willing to call myself to study, and I would be more bitter, I threw my family away for a year, the second daughter, the eight- or nine-year-old brother who was twelve years old, and said to the teacher in Taiyuan on August 15, then can I go back for one night, look at these two children, go home and enter the door, the children did not even have a pot after August 15, and my heart hurt at that time, and I bought some fruit the next day. After settling down with some food, he left again, and went back to Taiyuan to study, at that time, it was like 70% of the work force, and 30% of the family, now I think about it, I am a little lacking in the children, I am a girl, how good are you, a twelve-year-old brother of eight or nine years old, at that time, the family, the whole country, we all supply 35% of the white flour, this girl is so small, Put the white noodles for yourself in the box and save them, and eat the corn noodles with your brother, and the brother cried and said that he would eat this one day, how pitiful, and now that I think about it, it seems that I have patronized my work and made my family weak.

Our province held this "training class", attaches great importance to it, the students who go to the art school, the head of each troupe, the main actors, are all trained these people, so the teachers invited by the Provincial Department of Culture are all from Beijing, Hu Sha, that is the old timers in the drama industry, the old generation of the drama industry, Xu Xiaozhong, the old director of opera, the teacher who gave us the class, is our teacher Liu Yuantong in Shanxi Province, these are all good teachers, give us a class for this student, during this class period, I am also welcomed by some people, I am diligent, Although the conditions are not good and the culture is low, but I am diligent, and the teachers are also very fond of it, like Mr. Liu Yuantong likes himself very much, saying that the conditions are not good, and he loves to learn so much, and he has learned a little directing, but there is a little story here, that is, I have acted on the stage, I have stood in the middle, and when I arrived at the "tutorial class", there was a small exam in advance, so that each of you had to perform such a paragraph, and I taught my teacher "Killing the Palace", and I performed a few times, and the teachers said, Oh, this performance is more standardized, that is to say, their teachers are standardized, Zhang Jinyuan, Peking Opera masters, Xiao Jinzhi, old artists, Bian Zhensheng, Hebei Bangzi actor main worker Dao Ma, are all taught by these teachers, so their own movements, each action is more standardized, and it is not too good, so the peers of the "tutorial class" are very good to themselves, and the six people who live in a dormitory are "six Lan", but they count their own low culture, count their own low culture, and count their old age, so I studied for a year. The teachers were very kind to themselves, and they studied hard, and I finally improved a little bit in my art.

After learning directing, I have the strength to come back, from the experience of elementary school drama, I have stage experience, I have teaching experience, I have learned a little bit of directing, stage art is combined with teaching work, and the director's work, I have a little strength in art, so I came back in early 1982, just in time for the three-year school of children's play, and I am about to graduate. They need an internship scene, and the internship scene they learned to be directed and arranged for them by themselves is now "Blood Splattered Black Veil".

"Playing children" originated in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, and now has a history of more than 600 years, and is praised by experts as "living fossils of Chinese opera", "playing children" is popular in the area of Yanbei Datong, Huairen and Yingxian, the early actors are farmers, and the temporary class is organized to perform in the agricultural slack season, after the founding of New China, the amateur "playing children" troupe is booming, after graduating from the director training class of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture in 1981, Wu Guilan actively devoted herself to the artistic construction of "playing children", especially she is "playing children" The first main drama rehearsed "Blood Splattered Black Veil" has become a classic that has been performed for a long time.

The script of "Blood Splattered Black Yarn" was written by a writer in Henan, the story of Henan, there is a Li Li Temple, a statue in the temple, that is this official, he enforces the law fairly, this play is completely a drama, that is, a legal play, I brought back the script from there, just as they were about to graduate, I took this script, and I interned in the "tutorial class", and they took this drama as a graduation performance.

A big play, rehearsed for them, their entire three-year system, their skills are not good, the whole of their singing skills and music, all hands, eyes, and body performances, they are not good, they have no foundation, they can learn something in three years, but they teach it one by one, step by step, Wang Binxiang, Xue Ruihong, their group of students, just that one play, after the performance, the leaders and the audience are very appreciative, "playing children" small drama, can also act such a "blood spattered black yarn", or a main drama, this play has been discharged since 1982, has been acting for 40 years now, the first five years when they went to Taiyuan, the leaders were going to "play children" "Blood Splattered Black Yarn", the teachers asked them actors, you director, who gave the rehearsal, said we teachers. How old is your teacher, our teacher is now in his eighties, people say, at first glance, it is everyone, know this everyone, that is to say, because his teacher Zhang Jinyuan is a famous Peking Opera artist, our performance hand, eye and body steps are more standardized, and we have received a lot of praise, this is their own "guide class" graduated to them, their first play, they are graduation performances. By 1992, because the Ministry of Culture wanted to rehearse a small drama, the leaders of their province attached great importance to it, and the leaders of Datong City attached importance to it, because it was hosted by the Ministry of Culture (national rehearsal) and held in Zibo, Shandong, so the leaders of the Cultural Bureau organized a creative group, counting one, Liu Yuantong one, and Datong's first-class screenwriters counted as one, and also counted as a creative group.
