The Yue drama "New Dragon Gate Inn" is really popular, and it has pushed the new generation of actors Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao to the hot search, and tickets for the performance are very difficult to find!
The driving force behind this is Mao Weitao, our famous "No. 1 Female Student of Contemporary Yue Opera", or "a banner of New Yue Opera"!
Back then, she was one of the "Five Golden Flowers" that were red through half the sky in the 80s, and she also won the Plum Blossom Award three times, which is not a joke!
This wave of the revival of Yue Opera was set off by her!
After retiring, Ma Yun and Song Weiping asked her to be the chairman of Baiyue.
Chen Lijun, a "post-90s" apprentice, was successfully led by her to "break the circle".
She also said: Without Wenzhou, there would be no Yue Opera "New Dragon Gate Inn".
She also said: Actors are not courtesans, and actresses do not accompany wine, which is the rule of New China.
Today, let's take a look at Mao Weitao's life story.
Pay attention to "Dongdong Brother is in stock", and continue to update interesting and informative celebrity stories for you.
The name Mao Weitao is well-known in the Yue Opera industry.
But who knows, she has also been confused and hesitant?
took away the Plum Blossom Award for the second time, which seemed to be infinitely beautiful, but she said: "I don't want to be just an actor who copies beauty, so what's next?"
So, the sisters were ruthless, shaved their heads, no longer satisfied with playing those white-faced scholars, and began to think about how to play the male characters in Yue Opera more lively.
As soon as she did this, old drama fans didn't buy it.
They like to see those delicate and beautiful students, which Cheng wants Mao Weitao to shave his head, hunch his back, and wear sunglasses, and the whole unkempt appearance.
The gap in the hearts of old drama fans is not a star.
Mao Weitao herself said that in order to innovate, she sometimes did go a little "overboard", and even made people think that she was deviant.
But then again, time doesn't lie.
Just like the play "Kong Yiji" by her and Xiao Baihua, everyone didn't accept it 20 years ago, but now it's good, and a bunch of people are yelling for her to rearrange it.
Besides, "The Legend of the West Chamber" was scolded in Shanghai, but later toured the country, and the scenes that were scolded the most that year won bursts of applause from the audience.
Isn't that the best proof of that?
Mao Weitao, a little girl, is already a famous character at a young age!
She held a special session of "Suddenly Looking Back", played several classic roles, and won a lot of applause and flowers.
However, director Guo Xiaonan poured cold water on her, saying that she was playing the same type of character, as if she had been playing herself.
These words made Mao Weitao fall into deep thought, and she decided to challenge herself.
So, she and Guo Xiaonan collaborated on the first play "Kong Yiji", in which she is no longer the beautiful and handsome student, but a hunchbacked and crooked sour scholar, and her performance is so incisive!
As a result, she has won many awards and created an unprecedented artistic image.
, Mao Weitao's creation is even more out of control, and many classic plays have been rehearsed one after another.
However, some old fans don't buy her innovation.
Once performed a new version of "Liang Zhu" in Shanghai, an old opera fan scolded Mao Weitao at the backstage door for several days, saying that she had changed Yue Opera to be nondescript.
Mao Weitao asked him, since you don't like my play so much, why do you still watch it every day?
The old drama was really fascinated, and said: "I scold and scold, I still have to watch the play!"
These words made Mao Weitao laugh.
Now, Mao Weitao's original repertoire has become a classic of the Mesozoic Era, and she can be regarded as the first person to make a Yue Opera Xiaosheng!
She crossed over to film and television, starred in "Oriental Undefeated", and was evaluated by Mr. Jin Yong as "the most artistic Oriental Undefeated".
Let's set up three "undefeated in the East" dragon gate arrays in history.
In terms of appearance, TVB's Lu Zhenshun, oh my god, that's really ugly and weird, like an ugly monster wearing a flower skirt.
However, it made the weird painting style in the original book vivid, and fans said it was good after reading it.
The CCTV version of Mao Weitao is more inclined to a "demon", and his whole body is dressed with a sense of charm, just like a flower demon in the mountains and forests, which makes people feel afraid when they see it.
But I also have to say that her understanding of the role is quite profound.
Lin Qingxia, let's not talk about it, that's a beautiful word!
Wearing men's clothes is like a handsome knight, and changing into women's clothes is a big beauty, which is really dazzling and exciting.
In terms of deduction effect, Lu Zhenshun seems to have come out of the original book, and the feeling of yin and yang makes people want to laugh but dare not laugh when they see it;
Mao Weitao turned Dongfang Undefeated into a weird monster, which made people fearful;
Lin Qingxia, oops, that's a subversive interpretation, although the old man Jin Yong is not very happy, but the audience is very happy!
These three versions of the undefeated East have their own merits, Lu Zhenshun met the expectations of book fans, Mao Weitao showed the weird and demonic spirit of the character, and Lin Qingxia conquered the hearts of the audience with her beauty and acting skills.
Oh, that's the beauty of art!
In 2023, the Yue Opera industry will make a name for itself, that is, "New Dragon Gate Inn", which is really popular!
As soon as the short video was played, wow, the choreography, singing, and performance were all fresh, and they immediately captured the hearts of the audience.
9.25 million views, do you say cow or not?
As soon as this Yue Opera became popular, young people couldn't sit still, and ran into the theater to take a look.
Those actors, Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao, also became popular on the Internet, making it difficult to get tickets for dramas.
The hero behind this is Mao Weitao.
She is the big boss, chief producer, and art director of "New Dragon Gate Inn", and she is simply the leader of this Yue Opera Revolution.
Speaking of this craze, Mao Weitao is not so excited, she said that the traffic is temporary, and art is long-lasting.
"Now this women's Yue drama is popular again, which has something to do with social development and women's awakening. She said.
From its premiere to the present, "New Dragon Gate Inn" has been performed 167 times a year, and the venue is full, do you say it is popular?
The ratings are also high, and they are crazy on Douyin and Weibo.
The most powerful thing is that 80% of the audience has never been exposed to Yue Opera before.
Mao Weitao was happy and felt that traditional opera had finally entered the hearts of young people.
"Looking at this data, opera has also begun to be welcomed by young people. I look forward to them taking Chinese opera to new heights!"
She said confidently.
Mao Weitao put up a dragon gate array on "A Date with Luyu", and shared with you how to use new gadgets such as social media and short videos to make Yue Opera prosperous.
Speaking of this Yue Opera, it is our big baby in China, always with women as the protagonists, talking about their confusion and courage in different historical backgrounds.
Mao Weitao, the "first female student", was admitted to the Tongxiang Yue Opera Troupe at the age of 17 and began her opera life.
It's only been four years, and he won the Plum Blossom Award in one fell swoop with "The Resentment of the Han Palace", which is the Nobel Prize in the theater industry!
Later, he relied on "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Liang Zhu" to win this award again, which is simply the leader in the Yue Opera industry!
After winning so many awards, Mao Weitao felt that the responsibility was greater, and he was afraid that he would be carried away by the honor.
She said: "After winning the award, I secretly determined that every scene in the future must be in line with the level of such an award as the Plum Blossom Award." ”
Later, Mao Weitao also became the head of the Zhejiang Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe, when the opera market was sluggish and the enrollment could not be recruited.
But Mao Weitao just has a way to engage in a bunch of new-style Yue operas, such as the modern dance version of "Cold Love", the fashionable Yue opera "The Legend of Chunqin", etc., which made Yue Opera popular again!
She also wants to build a "butterfly theater" so that everyone can have a place to taste the beauty of Yue Opera.
What a hard-working woman!
Speaking of her artistic path, it was really smooth but she suffered a lot.
On August 8, 1962, Mao Weitao, a girl from Tongxiang, Zhejiang, fell to the ground.
Speaking of her fate with Yue Opera, it's like our Sichuan's spicy hot, numb, spicy and fragrant, as if it was destined.
In 1979, when she failed the college entrance examination, she happened to meet the Tongxiang Yue Opera Troupe recruiting students.
As soon as the teachers saw her, they knew that this was a good seedling who acted in Yue Opera, with good facial features and full heaven, just like our pandas in Sichuan, everyone loved her.
After joining the troupe, this girl was not joking, she put 120 points of enthusiasm into training.
Wearing drama boots, strangling the head, and not even taking it off when sleeping, this spirit is really admirable.
She also learned the masculinity in Japanese movies, smoking her old man's cigarettes, but she was choked with tears and snot, she is really a "desperate three mothers".
After graduating, she joined the Xiaobaihua Yue Troupe and soon became a pillar.
won the award softly, at the age of 23, he won the first prize with "The Resentment of the Han Palace", and won the Plum Blossom Award the next year, he is really a "god of awards".
For the sake of Yue Opera, she also shaved her head, and this spirit really gives people a thumbs up.
Just like our Sichuan dialect, "This girl has hard work!"
strangled her head to sleep, and the next day her face was swollen like a steamed bun, but she still smiled, because in her heart, Yue Opera was all she had.
"The play comes from Wenzhou", this name is really wonderful, the play, it should come from Wenzhou!
This time, the 2024 "Opera from Wenzhou" Southern Opera Classic Culture Week is really full of big names, including our big star Mao Weitao.
Mao Weitao and Wenzhou, oops, the relationship is deep.
She said, "Without Wenzhou, where did the "New Dragon Gate Inn" come from?"
This time, she also came to Wenzhou as a special consultant for "Strong City Action and Cultural Empowerment".
It seems that the source status of Wenzhou's drama is firmly in the country.
Mao Weitao came this time, and he also paired up with Huang Yanwu, the director of Wenzhou Yue Theater, and became a teacher and student.
Dean Huang is a talent, and he helped Mao Weitao dig out a bunch of new stars in the Yue Opera "New Dragon Gate Inn".
Mao Weitao said, "Without Wenzhou, this drama can't come out!"
She also said that "transplanting" the Ou opera "Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan" to adapt the Yue opera, that is a clever trick.
Wenzhou is really full of dramas, which makes people dazzled.
Oh, Wenzhou, the treasure land of drama, is really getting more and more interesting.
Mao Weitao's visit this time has added fire to Wenzhou's drama culture, making the brand of "drama from Wenzhou" more and more loud!
Mao Weitao's marriage experience, hey, is also a tortuous history.
At the earliest, he married Liu Dong, a journalist in Hangzhou, who knew that his personalities were incompatible, and the two broke up peacefully three years later.
Just like our Sichuan dialect says, "If you can't get along, you can't get the law", so you can only go your own way.
Later, in 2000, she married the famous opera director Guo Xiaonan, and gave birth to a daughter the next year.
When it comes to her career, it's even more incredible.
After resigning as the head of Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe, he became the chairman of Baiyue Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd.
This new official has three fires, she is not idle, she is learning new knowledge, and training new actors, she is very busy.
Just like we Sichuan people say, "change the runway and continue to run", she has changed to a bigger runway!
In order to adapt to her new role, she also took online courses as an economist and listened to a lecture on entrepreneurs at Alibaba Lakeside University.
Oh, this is really "live to be old and learn to be old", if you don't accept it, you can't do it!
In the end, she also created the unique "Big Butterfly" Yue Opera Theater, realizing the dream that Yuan Xuefen and Yin Guifen failed to realize.
This is really admirable! Just like our Sichuan dialect, "This girl is very fierce!"
Mao Weitao, a female baby, has a bit of a male doll character in her bones.
In order to play the role of Yue Opera Xiaosheng, she has put a lot of effort into it.
Copy all the famous quotes of Lang Ping, the female ranking general, in a notebook, and use them to motivate himself every day.
I learned kung fu from the dance teacher, and my body was bruised and purple, which made people feel distressed to watch.
At that time, the Japanese movie "Pursuit" was very popular, Mao Weitao watched it many times, and then imitated Ken Takakura's manly performance in the dormitory, and learned it well.
Once when she came home from vacation, she saw the old man smoking, so she smoked one and lit it like the old man.
As a result, I was choked and coughed and burst into tears. The old man was angry and said what kind of cigarette her girl was smoking.
She patiently explained to the old man the hardships of her life on stage, and the old man understood her.
This girl has never stopped innovating, and in 2019, she also cooperated with the game "Honor of Kings".
During the epidemic, the performance was stopped, but she still practiced at home every day, and as soon as the epidemic improved, she began to rehearse new plays again.
This spirit is really admirable!
【Comments】In 2023, the Yue opera "New Dragon Gate Inn" will be very popular, and the venue will be full, which will make Mao Weitao a little "panicked".
She said: "This splash of wealth has fallen, can we catch it?"
She was worried that this popularity was just a "flash in the pan", and she was afraid that the troupe would be carried away.
Mao Weitao praised Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao for "not losing themselves", and hoped that they "knew in their hearts", after all, "the traffic will pass in a year or two, and art is long-lasting".
What she is thinking about now is how to make Yue Opera really attract the audience and let everyone see the "aesthetics" of this art.
