Teacher Xiao Ya, a famous Yue opera artist, a famous Yue opera actor, a famous Yue opera performance artist, a famous Artist of Yin Pai, a winner of the Plum Blossom Award, a young student of Yin Pai of Yue opera, a descendant of Yin Pai, became the earliest amphibious actor of opera and song in the 1980s, and a national first-class actor.

As a disciple of Yin Guifang, the founder of Yue opera Yin Pai art, the name Xiao Ya was well known more than 10 years ago at that time, and her dashing and handsome appearance did not know how many Yue opera fans were fascinated, not long ago, Xiao Ya won the Plum Blossom Award with a famous Yin Pai drama "The Legend of He Wenxiu", and Xiao Ya's identity when receiving the award was already the chairman of Xiao Ya Culture and Art Co., Ltd.

When she was a child, Xiao Ya loved to sing, and her dream was to enter the conservatory, but she had to turn eighteen years old in the conservatory of music, and when she was fifteen years old, the drama school saw her sweet () appearance and voice, so she accidentally sang Yue opera, compared to those students who received training very early, her foundation was relatively weak, and the effort and sweat naturally exceeded others, at that time Xiao Ya lived with her mother, sister and brother in this old house in Hongkou District. At that time, she came to the place where she lived as a child, she felt that it was her feng shui treasure, she lived here in the first grade, lived until her high school, and then recruited the Shanghai Opera School, and when she arrived at the troupe, her feelings for here were really very, very strong, because she felt that she grew up here and practiced, even if you gave her a return from the drama school to her home, her mother would let her get up at six o'clock every morning to practice, she remembered that one day when her mother helped her practice, she was throwing her waist, it may be too urgent. She twisted that waist, and when it was broken, it hurt her all at once, and then her mother still said this, she said you have to work hard, and you can't practice if you don't work hard.

Since stepping into the big threshold of Yue opera performance, there is no way back, Xiao Ya has walked steadily and actively on this road, and even a little crazy. Once, because she had been arguing with her brother, so that he could not study, he himself wanted to enter the junior college, and then she remembered to get up in the morning to practice singing, and then practice him, he covered his ears with his hands, he said annoyed, bored, I can't do my homework at all. She still ignored him, he still practiced on his own. If it was now she understood, she would avoid his reading time, and then he would practice singing when he rested, and she didn't understand at that time. She wanted me to practice well, I practiced every day, I practiced every minute, every second, I quarreled him, she thought he was quite miserable at that time, he couldn't help it, because her mother supported her, so he didn't get into a good school at that time, which was a pity. But fortunately, he later set up a company himself, and he was the boss himself, which was actually quite good.

Mom played a crucial role in Xiao Ya's artistic path. Xiao Ya often said that if there was no mother, there would be no her today. At that time, she was influenced by her mother, to work hard, to be diligent, but you know that she is only fifteen years old, sleep at night, can't wake up in the morning, can't get up, and is a bit playful, she remembers her mother later told her, you must be more than people practicing, you have to make progress, what to do, at that time she thought, drink water, a big bowl of water, and then a drink of water at night will always get up to pee, to three or four o'clock in the morning she saw that she was almost up, and then got up, just then also got up to go to the bathroom, and then practiced blanket exercises, Practice the stage steps, run the round field, after the practice is almost the day is also bright, she will go back to sleep, the classmates do not know, and then get up, she can not sleep when she sleeps, she has a headset on the tape recorder, she listens to singing, Fan Pai, Xu Pai, Lu Pai, Yin Pai learn to sing, and then get up at dawn, everyone gets up together to practice, and then practice singing like this, so she practiced much more than others at this time, remember once, her mother was going to take two hours by car, they were in the drama school, Shaanxi Road at that time. They lived in Hongkou District, and then she came and they didn't know, that day they were playing together, singing and playing guitar with the children in the Jingkun class, and then she called her at that time, she wasn't called Xiao Ya at the time, this Xiao Ya was her stage name, at that time she was surnamed Zhu, called Zhu Jianmei, she heard her classmates call her Zhu Jianmei, your mother came, she listened, rushed to run, ran to the practice room, boots were worn, water sleeves were worn.

"Eat bitterly, be a good person", Xiao Ya, who is young, deeply understands this truth and silently pays her sweat and tears. Several years of drama school time passed in a hurry, and Xiao Ya, who graduated with honors, was assigned to the Hongkou District Yue Opera Troupe and became a small student actor, fulfilling her dream of being an actor who was also her mother. In Xiao Ya's mind, the Chinese Grand Theater has a pivotal position, and the once bustling performance center has now seen a slight depression, but in Xiao Ya's eyes, it is still a dream theater full of charm. She feels that in her acting career, she is the most Chinese theater, every time she plays a play she will come to the Chinese theater, she will come to perform from the first play, until the end is to say goodbye to the concert, go abroad, are here, and she comes here to perform, she feels that this is a place that will make her fire and red, she feels that it is also one of her feng shui treasures. The first time she came to perform was a new play "Finishing Touch", and then the next performance was "A Branch of Plum", "Wandering Prince", "Desert Prince", etc., and finally it was a farewell concert, in fact, in the past few years, the dramas performed are quite a lot, she has to perform four big plays a year, four big plays, each one she performs in the Chinese theater, so she really has a very kind feeling with it here, really has a very reluctant feeling, really want to go back to the time and that, Perform on stage again, how good. Xiao Ya said that every time before going on stage, she would sit in the corner and quietly put on makeup and brew emotions. Is the person in the mirror the most beautiful image of himself, and the greatest wish of the actor is to let the audience remember them and never forget. On the stage is a heroic and sassy little student, but offstage is a beautiful woman who looks back and smiles. Xiao Ya actually looks very charming, how to see how is a typical Jiangnan woman, when asked how Xiao Ya looking for men on the stage, Xiao Ya said that she has been a tomboy since she was a child, and now the name "Xiao Ya" is actually a stage name, the purpose of this name is to change her own grinning personality, but Xiao Ya when she is a tomboy is the most serious and serious one on the stage, no matter what emergency she encounters, she is more calm and more general than others. Li Hua said that at that time, there was a young actor, she played the general, she twisted her feet before going on stage, she couldn't go up, she couldn't walk, at that time Li Hua she was originally playing a small soldier, the director said you change with her, you go up, she said I can't figure out a word of my lines, she said how do I do it, he said there is no way, save the scene like fighting a fire, he said, you go up. Well, I'll go up there, she said. Li Hua she used to be a role as a playing woman, high boots she never wore, the first time she wore, went up to wear, she would not walk, a limp she walked out, full of actors are laughing at her, she played a big general, go out, a station, are laughing at her, she also froze, but Xiao Ya she did not laugh at all, she is usually like a tomboy, she likes to laugh, hahaha laugh, but on the stage she can hold, very calm, she does not laugh, Li Hua she died in a hurry, she put the microphone with her hand, Li Hua she said what I sang, She said she didn't know, don't make a sound, it means don't laugh, she thought I don't laugh, as soon as the two actions were done, she went down, when she stepped offstage, all the people in the background were laughing, she was thinking in her heart that Xiao Ya was really amazing, that is, she was such a young actor, li hua she was a middle-aged actor, she could hold it down, all the stage was pressed, the stage did not laugh, everyone looked at her and did not laugh, she came to the stage later, she told her like this, fingers nodded at her, so dot her, she said she knew, knew. Although it is said that the rescue scene is like putting out a fire (there is a situation), she is still very serious on the stage, she is very serious, on the stage. Li Hua felt that as a young actress Xiao Ya she was not easy.

In fact, there is no obvious switch between Xiaosheng and the woman, Xiao Ya has already integrated the two characters into one, she said that she is a Pisces, has a double personality, but it is a good fit. In terms of artistic expression, Xiao Ya not only inherits the teachings of teachers, but also is eager to learn and be bold and innovative, breaking through the traditional singing method of opera, and integrating the soft and air singing method in popular songs into the Yin Pai singing voice, enriching the expressiveness of Yue opera, making it rich in the sense of the times, and narrowing the distance between traditional opera and young audiences. In addition, Xiao Ya, who is good at dancing with long sleeves on the Stage of Yue Opera, also set a precedent for opera actors to sing, and a song "The Moon Goes I Go" sang popular in the north and south of the river, making her the earliest amphibious actor in China. In 1991, Xiao Ya, who was at the peak of her career, disappeared from everyone's eyes, and she went to the United States and defected to her love. After getting married, Xiao Ya lived the life of Fu Yu's idle full-time wife, but because of her reluctance to the cause of Yue opera, Xiao Ya returned seven years later. Always feel that the stage complex has not been able to be unraveled, can not get this feeling is to give up it, always feel that she has been thinking about it, thinking about the stage, thinking about the Shanghai audience and relatives and friends, so she feels that this is the biggest reason for her return. At that time, I felt that in addition to the first life, the second life was the stage, so she was also five years down, so she said that I could not stay up any longer, how many five years a woman and an actor had, the past was gone, I should cherish, should grasp, so at that time she thought clearly, she decided to give up the American life and she came back.

At that time, Xiao Ya had no home and no children, the tour of the north and south of the river had no concerns, felt very free, it was a good opportunity to do business, she said that she was not as perfect as some daughters, career and family can take care of both, she is not perfect, can not take care of both, between marriage and career, she can only choose one, just returned to the Shanghai stage when Xiao Ya also wanted to join the state-owned troupe, hoping to rely on something, to achieve artistic ideals, but in the end she chose "independent portal" and set up her own studio, At that time, in July last year, it was developed into Xiaoya Culture and Art Co., Ltd. (Call) "Okay, goodbye", "Teacher Xiao, this is our performance plan from September to November, you sign a note", "We are not going to shoot a TV series in October", "Yes", "You have time to set aside", "But no, we have this contract for Southeast Asian performances, this is the time", "But I still have a Performance in Foshan on September 20th, well, the Chinese Drama Association", "That's no way, this performance must be done", "That has a conflict, no", "" It depends on how we adjust it." Xiao Ya's company was very busy with the performance business at that time, and the reservation of the performance was already scheduled until the end of next year, which should be said to be a good momentum. Xiao Ya's private theater troupe achieved good results as soon as it entered the market. She invested in the first big drama "Unsettled Love" at that time last year toured 14 cities across the country, attracted widespread attention from the audience and industry insiders, and won the gold medal of the 7th "Yingshan Hong" Folk Art Festival. In fact, the day of receiving the award is not too excited feeling, in fact, when she was judging, when she performed, she hoped that she could act the best, come up with good results, there was also a small episode that day, they invited a lot of judges in Changsha, all came to see, because it was the seventh "Ying shan hong", at that time also won a gold medal protagonist, and then it was to play "Zhuangyuan Unloved", "Zhuangyuan Unloved" When it was performed to the last time, the general Yue opera actors she would not shake her head very badly. She may make an action pattern and then get up, just cry, cry this sweetheart, Xiao Ya she practiced for more than two months at that time, the hot day will be thrown every day, and the result will be fine on the real stage. That day in the "YingShan Hong" performance, why say there was a small episode, their teacher was too nervous, helped her to put the headband (strangled) too tightly, the result was dizzy on the stage, because for a long time, two scenes, and then at that time she threw up, the general actor she could not stand it and fainted, just pulled the curtain, at that time she was perseverance, this is a person's physique, good health; One is perseverance, she thought I can't fall, I can't faint, I must hold on, just the last scene, she said so, and then poof, she couldn't help but squirt out, vomited out, and then the audience below all saw, she thought wrong, she turned around and went inside and vomited, they all saw it, the students on their side of the drama school all saw it, so she held out until the end of the performance, this person softened, and then they came up to shoot on The changsha platform and the central stage, and she knelt on the ground for them to interview. In the eyes of others, Xiao Ya is a famous actor, a capable chairman, and an excellent legendary figure who is somewhat "high up". But in Xiao Ya's own mind, there are two people she has always admired, one is the teacher Yin Guifang, and the other is the famous Kunqu opera performance artist Yue Meiti, no matter where she goes, these two teachers are something she cannot forget. Xiao Ya has a large number of opera fans and star chasers, after becoming famous, her first thought was how to care for the poor students of the xiqu school, at the "Xiao Ya Charity Condolence Concert and the establishment of Xiao Ya Art Studio" ceremony, she donated 300,000 yuan to the Shanghai Charity Foundation and set up the Xiao Ya Charity Aid Fund.
