【A Thousand Old Filmmakers Traces (490) - Ma Yong'an]
As one of the revolutionary model plays of that year, "Rhododendron Mountain" was once a household name. After the film was released in 1974, Yang Chunxia, a female number one who dressed handsomely, sang beautifully, and was dignified and handsome, played by Ke Xiang, the representative of the Peasant Self-Defense Army Party in Cuckoo Mountain, became another peking opera star who became popular overnight after Liu Changyu and Hong Xuefei.
In particular, some of Yang Chunxia's famous singing passages are spread in the north and south of the great river: "The family lives in Anyuan Pingshuitou, and three generations dig coal to make horses and cattle..." "Chaotic clouds flying and songtao roaring mountains rushing, gunshots are urgent, and military conditions are tight..."
However, unlike Yang Chunxia's "play" to become famous in the world, it is inconceivable that the male number one, Lei Gang, the commander of the peasant self-defense army, did not become popular with the popularity of "Cuckoo Mountain". Is it that his role is not good, no, in the play, he shows superb acting skills and extraordinary Peking Opera skills.
Lei Gang's actor is named Ma Yong'an. How many people remember this name?
Ma Yong'an, born in Beijing in 1942, graduated from the Beijing Opera School in 1959, under the tutelage of Hao Shouchen, Hou Xirui, Su Lianhan, etc. After graduation, he successively worked as an actor in the Beijing Experimental Peking Opera Troupe and the Beijing Peking Opera House.
The Peking Opera film "Rhododendron Mountain" was brought to the screen in 1974 by the stage play of the same name, filmed by Beijing Film Studio, directed by Xie Tieli, and starring Yang Chunxia and Ma Yong'an.
In fact, in 1964, before the movie version of "Cuckoo Mountain", there was Qiu Shengrong, Zhao Yanxia, and Ma Lianliang's version of "Cuckoo Mountain". In this version, the male protagonist is called Wudou and the female protagonist is called He Xiang, of which Wudou is the military commander, and the first protagonist, He Xiang, is the representative of the party.
However, after being adapted into a revolutionary model play, the original first protagonist was adjusted from Wudou to He Xiang, and was renamed Lei Gang and Ke Xiang respectively.
In "Cuckoo Mountain", Lei Gang is described as a toiling people with a distinct personality who dares to resist but only wants revenge and is not highly conscious. And Ma Yong'an, whether it is appearance, personality, voice, is almost consistent with the character. In such an opportunity, he was arranged to play Lei Gang.
When he first received the task, Ma Yong'an was worried about whether he could be competent, but with the help of all parties, especially the guidance of veteran artists, he well shaped the image of Lei Gang, a classic hero of Peking Opera with a distinct personality, a strong singing voice, and a rough and bold personality.
Lei Gang's singing of "The Fire Booming Smoke Roll" once made people tired of hearing it: "The fire is roaring with thick smoke rolls, and the heart is like the waves of the river. The party deputies watched the fire from the other side and were not allowed to engage in combat, could it be that her heart was cold and cold, and was she frightened and frightened by the sound of gunfire? No! She faced a strong enemy on that execution ground, her look unchanged, her generous statement, her righteousness awe-inspiring, she was a good party member! With a lot of thoughts and distractions, why is it so difficult to make a revolution? ”
However, on February 14, 2007, Ma Yong'an suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of blood at home and fell into a coma. Although rescued, it was still irreparable, and in this way, Ma Yong'an, a famous Peking opera actor at the Beijing Opera House, left this world forever, only 65 years old.
Although Ma Yong'an's singing skills and image are excellent, he did not have Yang Chunxia's luck and failed to become popular. In this regard, Ma Yongan accepted it calmly. In the following decades, he worked diligently in the Peking Opera pastoral, especially in a series of traditional plays with a flower face on the shelf that he starred in, which were deeply inspired by the teacher's charm, such as "Famen Temple", "Heroes of the Crowd", "Serial Set", "Li Qichang Pavilion" and so on.
