Dahe Network News (reporter Mo Shaohua) "Honoring the righteous heavens and the earth, and the righteous thin clouds and the heavens are green!" On the evening of February 21, accompanied by the "Yizi Song" that resounded throughout the Shenzhen Grand Theatre, the newly compiled historical drama "Yi Bo Yun Tian" performed by the Second Troupe of Henan Yu Theater gradually pulled down the curtain. In the warm applause and cheers of the audience, the performance of the "Loyalty and Filial Piety Festival" tetralogy of "Loyalty and Filial Piety" by Yu opera person of the 2021 Futian New Year Art Festival ended successfully.
The new version of the historical drama "Yi Bo Yun Tian" is a masterpiece that the Second Troupe of Henan Yu Theater will put on the stage in 2020, and it is also the finale of the four-step "Loyalty and Filial Piety and Righteousness" tetralogy of Li Shujian, the leader of today's Chinese Yu opera. On the basis of inheriting the tradition, the drama has made breakthroughs, shouzheng and innovation, and is a historical drama that adheres to the position of Chinese culture, tells the story of the Yellow River, inherits the Chinese cultural gene, and shows the Chinese aesthetic style, which is of great value to promoting the modernization and internationalization of Yu opera.
Veteran theater fans all know that Li Shujian, including the second troupe, is not known for martial arts, but they dare to gnaw hard bones during the anti-epidemic period and rehearse old dramas that even many martial artists dare not touch.
The audience in Shenzhen exclaimed: Finally, I saw the Guan Gong drama and robe drama that the strong lineup of Yu opera was good at!
At the beginning, Li Shujian claimed to be "catching ducks on the shelves", but after the decision was made, he led the team to create new plays to promote the inheritance and development of Yu opera art. Bring out a group of young actors from the old and bring out a group of young actors, in his own words- "put the baton in the hands of young people."
In this play, many young people stood on the stage, full of youthful atmosphere. Under the background of first-class actors Gao Hongqi, Wang Kewei, Zhao Jing, Li Dongjie, Shao Fufu, Li Genwang, Tian Hongya, etc., a large number of young actors aged about 30, such as Li Xiangfeng, Liu Xiaoguang, Li Jinxi, Zhang Yage, Wang Xianguang, Guo Xiaopeng, Liang Dengkun, Cheng Yabei, Wang Xinshuai, etc. play important roles in the play. Through the cooperation between the regiment and the school, more than 50 students of Henan Art Vocational College were enriched into the cast team. For students, this is a good opportunity to take the stage early and accumulate early, and for Henan Yu Theater, it is an effective measure to find good seedlings and improve the construction of talent echelons.
Shenzhen audiences who understand drama said: "Yi Bo Yun Tian" is a Guan Gong play, but this play is not to strengthen Guan Yu and weaken the image of other characters, watching the full stage of the tie and spear and knife, giving people a feeling of blood and blood, I hope to rehearse such a good traditional play in the future.
A die-hard fan said: "58-year-old Li Shujian has long been acting as a veteran student, never acted in a martial arts, let alone a red-faced drama, and playing Guan Gong is a specialized profession. He acted this play to this extent, set an example for old theater fans, dared to challenge, dared to try, and I was deeply inspired. ”
In order to successfully perform the Yu opera "Loyalty and Filial Piety" tetralogy, all the cast members practiced three times a day, and Li Shujian and the starring team almost "lived" on the stage. From 6:00 a.m. on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the stage team members entered the theater to work overtime to rush to the stage, and during the performance, they fell down and set the scene overnight, until the end of all the performances in the first ten days, unloading the stage and loading the car overnight, meaningless day and night. Each team rehearsed twice a day and performed at night, tirelessly, and finally won the applause and praise of the audience, fully carrying forward the unity and hard work and craftsman spirit of the big group.
The Shenzhen performance of the "Loyalty and Filial Piety and Righteousness" tetralogy of "Loyalty and Filial Piety and Righteousness" by Li Shujian, a New Year of the Ox, not only brought nostalgia to the vast audience from Shenzhen and its surrounding Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Huizhou and other places, but more importantly, through the traditional culture of "loyalty and filial piety and righteousness" representing Chinese virtues, it stimulated a strong sense of home and country for the prosperity, development and rejuvenation of the motherland.
