That night, many fans were in tears.

Because I watched the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

The rehearsal of the modern Peking Opera "Azalea Mountain" by the Shanghai Peking Opera Company has aroused great repercussions among the audience after it was broadcast on the CCTV Opera Channel.

This is, of course, first of all, because we have feelings for the play "Cuckoo Mountain". Especially Ke Xiang played by Yang Chunxia, it can be said that in the "hot era", a cool memory left in our minds.

In 1974, the "model drama movie" "Cuckoo Mountain" filmed by Beijing Film Studio caused a sensation immediately after its release. People were attracted by the beautiful singing, and were also moved by the performances of actors such as Yang Chunxia, Ma Yongan, Li Baochun, Liu Guixin, Gao Mukun, Wang Zhongxin, etc., and firmly remembered those classic singing segments and the appearance of the actors.

Secondly, the play "Cuckoo Mountain", in terms of artistic achievement, is also the most perfect music and singing design among all the "model plays", and its recognition and popularity among the masses are very high.

Another reason is that this version of "Cuckoo Mountain", which was rehearsed by the Shanghai Peking Opera Company, is very close to the 1974 film version in terms of performance effects. Although many Peking Opera troupes across the country have rehearsed "Cuckoo Mountain" before this, there are not many versions that can really be recognized by the majority of audiences.

Therefore, even if there is a gap between this version of "Cuckoo Mountain" and Yang Chunxia's version, it still attracts the attention of countless fans. Everyone rushed to tell each other and passed on the news.

After watching it, the actors in it will also be judged.

Surprisingly, Shi Yihong, who played the role of Ke Xiang in the new version, did not become the "NO.1" in everyone's minds. Judging from the performance effect of the whole play, the performance of several supporting roles is more eye-catching.

So, if you want to rank the performance of the actors in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain", how will you rank them?

Seventh place, Yu Tonghui: plays Zheng Laowan in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

The actor who played the role of Zheng Laowan in the 74 film version of "Cuckoo Mountain" is Zhang Xuehai, the son of the famous Peking Opera performance master Mr. Zhang Junqiu, and the twin brother of the famous Peking Opera actor Zhang Xuejin. Zhang Xuehai not only looks very similar to Zhang Xuejin in appearance, but also has a similar singing voice. He has also performed many traditional plays, but the most memorable is the role of Zheng Laowan in the modern Peking Opera "Cuckoo Mountain".

Zhang Xuehai has provided an example for younger generations of actors, both in performance and workmanship.

In last night's performance, the actor who played Zheng Laowan was named Yu Tonghui, an old student of the Qi School of the Shanghai Peking Opera Company. Although he is not very old, he has a lot of acting experience. Although he doesn't have many scenes in the play, he has an article in every move, and every move is worth watching. added color to the whole drama.

Sixth, Sun Wei: plays Li Shijian in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

Teacher Li Baochun, who played Li Shijian in the 74 version of "Cuckoo Mountain", left a very deep impression on us with his gorgeous high voice. Of course, the martial arts he showed were also so wonderful that they were amazing.

The "Li Shijian" who appeared in front of us this time was played by Sun Wei, a veteran of the Shanghai Peking Opera Company. Judging from Sun Wei's performance, he has solid basic skills and a very stable posture. The singing and doing are very neat. Of course, this is directly related to his hard work.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Wei's performance is very detail-oriented. This is also the biggest breakthrough in the "stylized" performance of their generation of actors, making the characters more beautiful and humane.

It's just that in terms of singing, Sun Wei's vocal range obviously has an obvious gap with Mr. Li Baochun. But for a young actor, it is already very good to be able to act at such a level.

fifth, Hu Xuan: plays Du's mother in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

Nowadays, there are not many "Lao Dan" actors with strong artistic expression and appeal, but Hu Xuan is a rare rising star.

She has a high-pitched voice and a tactful voice, which is similar to Liu Guixin, who played Du's mother in the 74 version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

Hu Xuan's performance this time, the movements and expressions are very in place, and the inner feelings are also extremely abundant, showing Du's mother's hatred for the enemy, her love for Lei Gang, and her respect for Ke Xiang to the fullest.

The excerpt of "Cuckoo Mountain Raising the Banner of Righteousness Three Rises and Three Falls" was sung by her and made people cry.

In addition to Du's mother in "Cuckoo Mountain", Hu Xuan's role as Grandma Sha in the modern Peking Opera "Shajiabang" has also been recognized by fans.

If there is any deficiency in this version of the image of "Mother Du" played by Hu Xuan, it is that in terms of singing skills, compared with Liu Guixin, there is still room for improvement. Because in the performance we saw last night, she had a few high-pitched voices, and she did seem a little powerless. The other thing is that I think she looks a little too young. Despite the gray hair style, and the actors' performances also tried their best to reflect the characteristics of the elderly, their faces were too smooth and could not hide from the audience's eyes.

Fourth, Yang Donghu: plays Lei Gang in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

An actor who looks similar to his predecessors who have played the same role in terms of appearance, temperament, aura, etc., is definitely an advantage. At least it will make the audience feel extremely intimate

Yang Donghu looks very similar to Mr. Ma Yongan, who played Lei Gang in the 74 version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

Not only are their images similar and their temperaments similar, but even their voices are almost the same. So when watching Yang Donghu's performance, we always have the feeling of being in a different world, as if Ma Yongan has traveled back again.

Although Yang Donghu's singing and doing skills have not yet reached the extraordinary effect of Mr. Ma Yongan, as a "Jingjiao" actor praised by the Shanghai Peking Opera Company and a disciple of Mr. Li Changchun, he still has his own talents and advantages. In the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain" we saw, he fully showed the characteristics of heroic performance, strong voice, and pure charm. In terms of power frame, it also appears to be powerful and has a solid foundation.

It's just that, as we can see, Yang Donghu used almost all his strength in order to play Lei Gang well. This makes him always sweat involuntarily when performing, his face is full of sweat, and he doesn't care about wiping it. It can be seen that modern dramas, especially "model plays", are not easy to perform, and actors must have real kung fu.

third place, Guo Yi: plays Wen Qijiu in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

Although Yang Donghu did his best to play "Lei Gang", in the end, the audience's attention was still more attracted by Guo Yi, who played "Wen Qijiu".

Why is this happening?

Because Guo Yi's performance is very delicate, he shows Wen Qijiu's "treacherous, slippery, yin, and bad" vividly.

Guo Yi's external image is quite different from that of Wang Zhongxin, who played Wen Qijiu in the 74 version of "Cuckoo Mountain". Wang Zhongxin's version of Wen Qijiu is cunning and thin in terms of physiognomy. And Guo Yi, with his handsome square face, plays the "villain", but he is not dominant. So he had to make a big fuss about acting.

Everyone saw how lively his eyes were, and how accurate his pronunciation was. Including his outstretched gestures, the spacing between the front and back, and the up and down amplitude, all of which are just right, all contribute to the presentation of the character's personality. Therefore, even though the actor himself has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he still performed Wen Qijiu's "bad in the bones".

Guo Yi is also an outstanding old student of the Qi School of the Shanghai Peking Opera Company, and won the gold medal in the 7th National Young Peking Opera Performers Television Competition. He once played the role of Guo Jianguang in the rehearsal of the modern Peking Opera "Shajiabang" at the Shanghai Peking Opera Company, which was also decent.

second place, Shi Yihong: plays Ke Xiang in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain".

Shi Yihong is a famous character, so everyone's expectations for her will be higher.

It seems to be a matter of course that she plays well, but if she doesn't act well, or something goes wrong, she will be infinitely magnified by everyone.

So the truth of "it's hard to be famous" is here.

She had so much to endure.

For example, first of all, she needs to bear the risk of comparing herself with her predecessor Yang Chunxia. It's a given. In fact, almost every friend who has watched this version of "Cuckoo Mountain" will involuntarily compare Shi Yihonglai with his predecessor Yang Chunxia.

In contrast, Shi Yihong is not very dominant in appearance. Her handsome little face is obviously not as heroic as Teacher Yang Chunxia. In addition, in terms of singing, there is also a big gap between the two. There is also the aura, for some reason, as soon as Teacher Yang Chunxia appeared, it brought us a sense of "invincible", but Shi Yihong did not.

Of course, there are many reasons for this. When Yang Chunxia played Ke Xiang, she was in the prime of life, and her voice, appearance, and work were all at their peak. And Shi Yihong is now in his 50s, and he has obviously passed the golden age of an actress.

In addition, actors of different eras will have different understandings of the characters, and they will also be influenced by the cultural aesthetics of different eras. For example, today's young audiences, they obviously prefer soft and boneless beauties, unlike people who came over in the 70s, they appreciate the sassy and heroic Ke Xiang more.

But I still admire Shi Yihong's courage, she boldly challenged herself, and at the same time made her due efforts to carry forward the art of modern Peking Opera.

After watching her performance in "Cuckoo Mountain" last night, I think she successfully performed Ke Xiang as she understood it. Her singing and performance are also in a class of their own. It's just that what she suffers from is that Teacher Yang Chunxia is "in front of the jade", so no matter how she acts, she will give people a sense of "stunned loss".

But it is clear that Shi Yihong has done his best. And I think her singing has a strong charm. Compared with the rehearsal of modern Peking Opera we have seen earlier, I think Shi Yihong's performance is already one of the best.

First, Zhao Hongyun: plays Tian Dajiang in the new version of "Azalea Mountain".

Everyone found that in last night's performance, the most recognized by the audience was not Shi Yihong, but the young actor Zhao Hongyun who played Tian Dajiang.

Although he does not have much resemblance to Gao Mukun, who played Tian Dajiang in the 74 version of "Cuckoo Mountain". However, everyone thinks that Zhao Hongyun's version of Tian Dajiang is more energetic and more popular.

First of all, Zhao Hongyun is even more pleasing in appearance. His handsome appearance, even if he is standing in the crowd, is particularly conspicuous, and the vigorous and heroic spirit between his eyebrows is clear at a glance.

Secondly, his neat skills can also stand up to scrutiny.

Even some small details, he also grasped it well.

So although Tian Dajiang does not have many roles in the play, Zhao Hongyun has become the most eye-catching one in the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain". Because of this, he became popular.

This shows how important it is for an actor to have a good image. If you add a certain amount of skills, it will be even more icing on the cake.

Before this, we saw Zhao Hongyun playing Guo Jianguang in the rehearsal of "Shajiabang", and Yan Weicai in the rehearsal of "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", it seems that every time, he has never disappointed us. We also have reason to believe that this martial arts actor will definitely have great plans in the future.

The release of the new version of "Cuckoo Mountain" has made the once classic repertoire shine again, and also allowed more fans to appreciate the charm of modern Peking Opera again.

In order to inherit and carry forward Peking Opera, it must rely on the joint efforts of the younger generation of actors. I think the Shanghai Peking Opera Company has played a good leading role. A number of rising stars have fully demonstrated their respective strengths, and also let us see the hope for the development of Peking Opera.

So after watching this version of "Cuckoo Mountain", are you as excited as I am? In everyone's opinion, which actor's performance is more surprising and brilliant? Welcome everyone to discuss with more fans and netizens through the message area.
