What is the story of Wei Fu in history?

Teacher Wei Fu is a national first-class director, dancer, daughter of Wei Heling, and founder of Shanghai Yangge.

On August 8, 2008, before the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, the program "Shanghai Zizhu Tunes ——— Shanghai Yangge" on behalf of Shanghai surprised the audience and received rave reviews. Wei Fu said that "Shanghai-style Yangge" interprets the grandeur, foreign atmosphere and fashion of Shanghai, and the audience knows that it is something from Shanghai at a glance. I didn't expect that when I was 63 years old, I could participate in the Olympic Games, and I really entered the performance of the "Bird's Nest" on August 8. This is a family photo around 1960, the family portrait is missing a second brother of himself, the family portrait is generally not complete, this year just happened to be his eldest brother, the eldest brother and sister-in-law came to Shanghai, and then, all the people took a photo with their father, this is their father Wei Heling, this is their mother, their mother Yuan Rong, here is their big brother, the big brother is the Wuhan Military Region Shengli Art Troupe, is a drama actor; Here is a big sister of herself, who is actually the third in the ranking, graduated from the Shanghai Youth Repertory Theatre and the Drama Academy; And then here is my little sister, the young sister is from the Gansu Provincial Repertory Theatre, and here is myself, who just entered the opera house at that time. His father is a film performance artist Wei Heling, his father is particularly concerned about his children's future career problems, and several of his brothers and sisters above him are all engaged in drama, to himself, I don't know why, I studied ballet when I was six years old, maybe, because my father had a good relationship with Zhao Dan, Zhao Dan's daughter Zhao Qing was already a dancer at that time, and he also felt that so many of my children went to drama, and I also came to my daughter to learn dance. In his entire dance career, for example, he would go to watch the graduation performance and what performances he participated in, and his mother sometimes said that my father would sleep when he watched other people's performances, and he would doze off halfway through it, but his mother said that he never dozed off when he watched her daughter's dance, so later people asked me and said that I was forced into it by my father, and I was engaged in dancing like this. With the support of her father, Wei Fu happily entered the art hall of dance, she practiced hard, the basic skills of dance are very solid, she can complete a series of difficult movements with her characteristic softness and strength, she is good at performing character roles, leading dancers and soloists in many dance dramas. Shanghai Dance School was to be established, and a pilot class was carried out, and this pilot class was a lot of old teachers in the opera house to prepare for this dance school, and when our pilot class was established, there was a class, 35 people, from the Spring Festival in 1960, they went to the opera house, and then they went to the troupe, and the teachers over there gave us business lessons, and then found teachers to give us cultural lessons, until we graduated in 1964, we have been following the crew of "Little Knife Club", and have been performing "Little Knife Club". In 1960, the folk dance drama "Little Knife Club" was performed in Beijing, and Wei Fu and some of his classmates, who studied in the pilot class of the Shanghai Dance School, were selected to join the cadet team of the Shanghai Opera House Dance Troupe. The flowers are blooming and everything seems to be going well, but there is one thing that has always bothered her. When I first came to North Korea in 1963 to perform, I started to get fat before I graduated, I was 13 years old at that time, and I was 84 pounds when I entered the training class, and then it became 94 pounds in a few months, and girls were more likely to get fat on their faces. At that time, in order to be so fat, I didn't eat every day, and then I practiced desperately. Sometimes the leader said, isn't this little girl very good, the director said, good is good, but she is too fat, she is ugly on stage, and she has no confidence, so at that time, she made a report and clamored to change her career. During this period, Wei Fu spent a lot of time studying music theory and acoustics and other dance fields, and decided to change careers to apply for the composition department of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. The leader disagreed, the leader said at the time, girls to get fat is a phase, we finally trained you, because when I was a child, in fact, from the conditions of dance, what do you want, so the leader means that this is a phase, you will slowly lose weight in the future, how can you change careers just after graduation, I don't agree. At that time, I was actually very depressed, and then I played a talented and beautiful woman at that time, and when I was fat, I felt that I was not a talented and beautiful woman, until I was playing the workers, peasants and soldiers, and I came out at that time, and at that time I joked that the grenades in the opera house were thrown by myself, and the bunkers were blown up by myself, and there was a nickname, called Little Tiger, until now my teachers and classmates saw me and called myself Tiger.

In the early 80s of the last century, China's reforms, and the imprisoned ideas slowly unchained. The literary and artistic world got rid of the original single model and flourished, and the growth of age and physical exhaustion are the fatal injuries of dancers. As a great dancer, Wei Fu found a new beginning. In 1982, she was admitted to the choreography class of the Beijing Dance Academy, and after returning to the Shanghai Opera House, Wei Fu participated in the creation of the large-scale mythological dance drama "The Legend of Dayu", which was a great success after the performance and won seven awards including Shanghai Spring Excellent Creation. At that time, when I rehearsed "The Legend of Dayu" for the first time, I was very cautious, such as rehearsing a hula, I would grind in the rehearsal hall for a few days, and try every movement by myself, including the maple leaf dance and this kind of props, which I experimented myself. Later, they said that in addition to the structure of "The Legend of Dayu", the actors are also good, but they said that many of your props have been used, that is, group dances, you have arranged several group dances, the use of water sleeves, and then the use of fans, as well as the grass skirt, to dance into a Chinese hula dance, in this regard, you are full of brains. This dance drama is not based on me, I am a young choreographer, we say, when the hot steamed buns have just been steamed, when I went to participate in the dance drama, the response was relatively large, I feel as if I have learned it for two years, and I have indeed learned something.

During her studies in Beijing, Wei Fu created her film and television debut "The Director's Dance Disease", which takes the love story of two generations of dancers in the 60s and 80s as a clue, and truly reproduces the current situation and contradictions in the literary and artistic circles under the reform situation. When my TV series came out, I wrote an article called "The Legacy Left to Me by My Father", my father died in 1979, I didn't know him when I was young, after ten years of the Cultural Revolution, after he was rehabilitated, this few years, because I had more contact with him, I suddenly understood him, when it came to my father's old age, I often accompanied him at the bedside, I felt that my father, his life, in his heart, for him, the most important thing is that he is on the screen and makes movies, But ten years deprived him of the best time. Performance artist Wei Heling is the first generation of filmmakers in the development of Chinese films, Wei Heling with his deep, subtle, simple and elegant performance style, created one typical artistic image after another on the screen, left an indelible impression in the hearts of the audience, and is still praised by people, thus establishing his immortal status in the Chinese film industry. Beijing Film Studio filmed "Horseback Teacher", so he invited him, and then he was very happy, but because his father was possible, an older person, in fact, he said, he is okay when you are locked up there all day long, he released it, and then said that there was a glimmer of hope, he was very excited, he suddenly had a cerebral infarction, at that time, there was a family meeting at home, everyone did not agree with him to go, he quarreled with us at the time, saying that he must go, and finally we said that you went, filming in that Northwest Plateau, ordinary people can't stand it, saying that if you go, it won't work, It was a big impact on the whole crew, and he had to reshoot, and then he couldn't help it, and from then on, his father was not as good as he was day by day. In the month he was dying, he basically couldn't move, and all the functions of his body had degenerated, but he said that a heart for art is always immortal, and he also mentioned in a recent article about his father, and he helped him move, and he said that you don't want to be an actor, we have to exercise, and then he worked hard, in fact, this foot is no longer his, he can't move, so what about himself, this TV series, in fact, is for his father, it was a movie script at the time, and he had a wish for his father. The TV series "The Director's Dance Disease" is a profound TV series with strong practical significance, which was broadcast on CCTV and local stations across the country, and was praised by nearly 30 newspapers and periodicals, and was nominated for the China TV Golden Eagle Award. "The Director's Dance Disease", written is written about himself, a bit like an autobiography, showing some of the impact of the economic tide on the literary and artistic reform at that time, everyone has gone to the hole, to the grassroots, but there are still people there to engage in art, "The Director's Dance Disease" actually means, in fact, the director is not sick, but everyone thinks she is sick, through this reflects his father's kind of later years, their older generation of artists This kind of dedication, at that time I have been telling many people, I must not be like my father, That is to say, the functions have been degraded, but the consciousness is still so strong.

This photo is August 8th, we were already waiting at noon, we entered the venue at 6:48 pm, it was the Shanghai "Zizhu Tune", and the actors from 28 provinces and cities were waiting, we will take photos on the edge of this "Bird's Nest", leaving our imprints at that time, so this photo I think is more meaningful, and when I see this photo, I think of the grand occasion on August 8th. Now I do a relatively large part, has been spending more energy, is a Shanghai Yangge to create, Yangge we say that is the largest dance in the Chinese Han dance, we say that it is the national dance, at that time it was basically the north, northern Shaanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Northeast Yangge, as a national fitness project, is a fitness Yangge by the National Sports Commission.

Dancing in fitness, fitness in dance, and enjoyment in fitness dance are the biggest characteristics of Shanghai Yangge. Our Haipai Yangge, in fact, is developing towards urban Yangge, because now after the development of society, the difference between urban and rural areas will become smaller and smaller in the future, but the Yangge has unrestrained and dynamic, and the rhythm is in line with the rhythm of the Chinese, at that time, I wanted to break through, using Jiangnan music, at that time I used "Jasmine", "Taihu Beauty", and then "Zizhu Tune", and used the music of Pingdan. Recently, we made up the fifth set at that time, which was the one that used Yue Opera My family has a little nine sisters, called "Golden Phoenix Butterfly Rhyme". People in Shanghai may talk about Shanghai style to themselves about any art, that is, to say that the sea is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, and add their own aesthetic things.
