The chapter garden of "May Day" is rich in greenery, visitors are weaving, and the slim blue delphinium flowers decorate the small western-style building with boundless spring. A "green leaf" floated here from the youth version of "The Peony Pavilion" - an exchange activity of the 9th China Kunqu Opera Art Festival, bringing Bai Xianyong's "first spring fragrance in the universe" and Kunqu opera actor Shen Guofang to the lecture hall of Chinese culture and to the fans who were looking forward to it.
In the past 20 years, Shen Guofang has played the role of Chunxiang in the youth version of "The Peony Pavilion", and has a full tacit understanding with Shen Fengying, who plays Du Liniang. The two of them are a servant and a master, and they cooperate seamlessly, and they can even synchronize their gestures on the stage.
"Teacher Bai Xianyong commented that I am the 'first spring fragrance in the universe', if I have to say so, I can only be regarded as Shen Fengying's 'first spring fragrance in the universe'. With the title of "Peony Blossoms Blooming for Twenty Years - Whispering Youth Version of "The Peony Pavilion", Shen Guofang said, "In the early days, I also gave others the role of Chunxiang, and the effect is completely different from the current one. If a peony needs to be matched with a green leaf, then I am Shen Fengying's green leaf, because our partner can form a particularly good echo, and the tacit understanding between the two of us cannot be replaced by others. ”
The peony flower has been blooming for 20 years, and Shen Fengying watered it with her youth. "When I went to Taiwan, China to perform before, I met a Mr. Liu Gang by chance, and he showed us a set of stills from the performance 20 years ago, and I suddenly sighed, it turns out that I used to look like this. At that time, the makeup of the youth version of "The Peony Pavilion" was set, and there was no particularly thick oil paint like traditional dramas, because all the actors were very young, and the makeup teacher hoped that we would make the base makeup particularly thin, revealing everyone's original skin color, so that the audience could intuitively feel the power of youth. Shen Guofang said with emotion, as soon as the stills of the past and the present were compared, he suddenly felt the passage of time, and everything seemed to have changed time and space, which was embarrassing.
Shen Guofang talked about this, and the audience in the lecture hall applauded and cheered her on. She responded: "This peony flower is also watered by the audience with 'pampering'. The perseverance of several generations has brought about today, and our youth version of "The Peony Pavilion" has the support of many audiences everywhere it goes, including the lecture I gave today, and so many people came to see it, it is your great love for Kunqu Opera that gives us the soil to grow.
