In traditional Chinese opera, Yue opera has always been very popular.

These people who perform Yue Opera must not only have a soft singing voice, but also need to have a delicate performance.

It is precisely because the requirements are very high that there are not many Yue Opera actors who can meet these two points.

In the face of these difficulties, Mao Weitao never thought of giving up, and it took years of hard work to achieve her excellent now.

Looking at it now, you will find that in this field, Mao Weitao's strength is definitely one of the best.

She has an extraordinary talent and a constant pursuit of art.

Every time Mao Weitao stands on the stage to perform, she will portray these characters in Yue Opera vividly.

It is this spirit that made Mao Weitao successfully get the Plum Blossom Award in his hands in 1985, when Mao Weitao was only 26 years old.

After winning this award, everyone thought that Mao Weitao would definitely be ecstatic.

After all, he won such a great award at a young age, and Mao Weitao at that time actually had only one thought, was he really worthy of this award?

Won the Plum Blossom Award three times, trying a new track to break through itself

Even now, when there are many talents, no one can shake Mao Weitao's status in the field of Yue Opera.

Mao Weitao has always been known as the eldest sister with great strength in the field of Yue Opera.

In the 80s of the last century, Mao Weitao had already become popular in half the sky.

Mao Weitao, the Plum Blossom Award, the highest award for Chinese theatre performing arts, has successfully won three times, and you can see how remarkable her strength is from these awards.

In the eyes of many people, Mao Weitao can win such an award, and his life must have reached the peak directly, but Mao Weitao is not as happy as he imagined.

Because after winning these awards, she felt that she had not made a new breakthrough, but had been copying other people's "beauty".

At this time, Mao Weitao had an idea to break through himself on a new track, how should this new track go?

Mao Weitao thought of a new method, that is, to ponder the male protagonist in the Yue drama.

Because all the things she studied before were the heroines in Yue opera.

She feels that she can develop on a different track, but if she wants to play the male protagonist well, she may have to sacrifice her beauty.

So when making this decision, he also thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to shave all his hair.

When Mao Weitao made this decision, many old drama fans didn't understand.

Put a good heroine track, don't just challenge the white-faced scholar.

If the challenge fails, won't it be a failure?

In the face of the incomprehension of the outside world, Mao Weitao still decided to challenge, but he encountered many bottlenecks in the process of challenge.

For example, her performance in "The Legend of the West Chamber" did attract a lot of complaints at the beginning.

In the face of these complaints, Mao Weitao did not think about stopping the idea of challenging the new track, but went from Shanghai to the whole country.

With this kind of spirit, Mao Weitao finally won bursts of applause from the audience, and at this time, another director named Guo Xiaonan appeared.

He feels that although the roles played by Mao Weitao have changed from women to men, on the whole, they all belong to the same type of roles, and they have never broken through themselves.

This sudden cold water also made Mao Weitao start to think deeply about whether he had never stepped out of that comfort zone?

Breakthrough self-success goes against the original intention

Because of what the director said, Mao Weitao thought about it for many months.

It was only then that she understood what the director's words meant.

It turned out that before this, whether Mao Weitao played the heroine or the male protagonist inside, he all gave people a very handsome and beautiful feeling.

In the eyes of many people, if you want to make a good film of Yue Opera, you must make sacrifices.

That's why Guo Xiaolan at that time pointed out the problem of Mao Weitao.

Although Mao Weitao had indeed won a lot of awards at that time, Mao Weitao could still listen to the outside world's evaluation of himself.

Because she knows that only by listening to more evaluations can she learn more.

After thinking about this problem clearly, Mao Weitao took the initiative to find Guo Xiaonan and wanted to cooperate with him, and the two filmed "Kong Yiji" together.

In this play, Mao Weitao did make a huge sacrifice, from a beautiful heroine at the beginning, to a poor scholar inside.

Although it is a woman pretending to be a man, no one feels abrupt at all.

The sacrifices made in this drama also made Guo Xiaonan realize that Mao Weitao has really made a breakthrough now.

The reason why Mao Weitao loves Yue Opera so much has a lot to do with the fact that she has been learning Yue Opera since she was a child.

At the age of 17, Mao Weitao successfully went to the local Yue Opera Troupe.

After staying in this Yue Opera Troupe for less than four years, Mao Weitao successfully won the Plum Blossom Award.

Her award-winning work is "The Resentment of the Han Palace".

After winning this award, Mao Weitao did work harder, but later she found that her original intention had changed.

used to think about how to let the public know about Yue Opera, but later it may have won too many awards.

So Mao Weitao also hopes to get more awards, and it seems that only these awards can prove himself.

After realizing that he had violated his original intention, Mao Weitao immediately began to adjust his mentality.

I can't forget that I went to perform Yue Opera because I wanted more people to recognize Yue Opera, not to perform for the sake of winning awards.

Keep the bottom line of Yue Opera and do not allow actors to become courtesans

Later, with the change of the times, Mao Weitao also realized that Yue Opera must be innovated.

Mao Weitao: Actors are not courtesans, and actresses do not accompany wine, which is the rule of New China

If we don't innovate, we are likely to be obsolete.

In the process of innovation, you will also meet all kinds of people.

In order to achieve their own goals, many people will also choose to let these people under their umbrella accompany the wine.

Mao Weitao has worked hard in the field of Yue Opera for many years, although she does have ideas for innovation, but she definitely can't accept to rely on wine to innovate and obtain resources.

So every time he encounters this situation, Mao Weitao will not give these people any good looks, and directly replied:

"Whether it is a Yue Opera actor or other actors, their identities are just actors, not courtesans."

In a word, it directly broke the inherent ideas in the hearts of many people.

Mao Weitao has been working in the field of Yue Opera for so many years, and she will never allow this situation to happen under her nose.

It was Mao Weitao's words that protected many actresses in the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe at that time, and also kept the bottom line of Yue Opera.

It's just that Mao Weitao's words also offended many bigwigs in the circle at that time.

Faced with such a situation, Mao Weitao was not afraid at all.

She thinks that drinking and accompanying wine is not innovation at all, but the real innovation is to be able to launch new good works.

led Yue Opera to the Internet, causing an explosion

At that time, many people felt that after Mao Weitao said this, there was no way to make Yue Opera recognized by everyone.

But at this time, Mao Weitao was not nervous at all, because she had already prepared a new Yue opera, that is, "New Dragon Gate Inn".

posted some of the plots on some short video platforms, and directly captured the hearts of the audience.

At that time, the number of views of this Yue Opera exceeded hundreds of millions of times.

Many young people were also deeply attracted by Yue Opera, and even ran into the theater to watch it.

This also made these actors in it popular, such as Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao.

And the reason why this Yue drama can become popular is that the person who needs to be thanked the most is Mao Weitao.

As the chief producer and art director behind it, Mao Weitao has always been very interested in this drama.

In the face of this sudden traffic, Mao Weitao was not as excited as he imagined.

Because she knows that the era of traffic comes and goes quickly, if you want to win the highest honor all the time, you must rely on strength.

Mao Weitao has been working hard for traditional dramas, and later she also became the chairman of Baiyue Culture.

After becoming the chairman of the board, she also knew that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

Not only do you need to learn the knowledge of Yue Opera in the new era, but you also need to pay attention to cultivating new actors.

In the process of career development, Mao Weitao is actually relatively lucky.

Compared with the luck of her career, her feelings are a tortuous history.

At the earliest time, Mao Weitao met a journalist in Hangzhou named Liu Dong.

At that time, both of them thought that love was more important than anything else, so they quickly walked together and got a marriage certificate.

In less than three years, the two finally divorced because of their incompatible personalities.

In 2000, Mao Weitao met Guo Xiaonan again, that is, the man in front of him who complained that she would not break through.

In the process of cooperation, the two also fell in love as they spent more time together.

After experiencing a failed relationship, Mao Weitao also attaches more importance to this relationship, and now she is finally living a bumper harvest in love and career.
