The performance went on late at night, the audience was full of old listeners with white hair on crutches, but almost no one left early, and the applause at the end of the curtain was thunderous, and the audience who had been a fan of "Jiang Tune" since childhood said: "I have always listened to 'Jiang Tune' to get close to the art of the master, tonight, I can listen to the commentary into Jiang Yuequan's life, I feel complete." ”
Three back to the bibliography three moments
How to cover the legendary life of Jiang Yuequan, the grandmaster of the commentary, with just over two hours of novella commentary? This is not an easy task. As early as the beginning of the creation, the main creator adopted a new form of collective creation, and Zhu Xinling, Sima Wei, and Qin Jianguo wrote the three bibliographies of "Lost in Love", "Phoenix Nirvana" and "Yideng Peak" separately, and Dou Fulong, who was proficient in the study and writing of singing lyrics, coordinated the writing, unifying the characters and styles, not only reflecting the elegance and literary nature of the lyrics, but also emphasizing the smooth literary style and elegant and common appreciation.
A person's life may seem long, but it is often determined by those crucial moments and decisions. The three books of "Jiang Yuequan" reproduce the three crucial moments in Jiang Yuequan's life. "Lost in Love" focuses on a big Chinese New Year's Eve, and Jiang Yuequan, who has the deepest affection, although he was once "lost in love", he finally bitterly rejected the red face confidant who was willing to be a small piece of infatuation, and returned to his wife's side without abandoning. "Phoenix Nirvana" flashed back to the scene of the creation of "Must Repair the Huai River" in that year, Jiang Yuequan, who learned the art to the finest, never stopped exploring and innovating for a moment, and became famous in the early years to create a "Jiang Tune" influence on the development of the bomb to the depth, and after entering the new era, he opened the precedent of the novella commentary, and was able to transform himself into a "fast Jiang tune".
The most touching thing is the third bibliography "Yi Deng Peak", which reproduces a very sensational performance of Jiang Yuequan in Hong Kong, and the master sang what is considered to be the most emotional and memorable play, "Jade Dragonfly, Hall And Take The Son", which is already a legend of the commentary. In fact, the moment of achievement to reach the pinnacle is the internal and external difficulties in reality, when the performance was carried out, Jiang Yuequan's beloved wife Qiu Baoqin was in danger of illness, and the three-strand file originally scheduled for the performance was turned into a double gear due to Liu Tianyun's unexpected illness, and Jiang Yuequan was in such a situation that he and his partner Yang Zhenyan jointly created an unforgettable peak moment.
It is reported that the work has been created since the commemoration of the centenary of Mr. Jiang Yuequan's birth last year, and after intensive discussion and formulation of the outline, the character events and writing angles have been determined, and the character events and writing angles have been continuously revised, processed and improved, and four drafts have been written in and out. Qin Jianguo, who participated in the creation and performance, said: "Through this work, we try to let more people get closer to Jiang Yuequan, understand Jiang Yuequan, and like Jiang Yuequan, so as to make the art of pingtan go further." ”
Shanghai Soviet hands are star-studded
Jiang Yuequan is a master of the commentary, and the "Jiang Tune" he created has a wide range of singing and a deep influence, and no one has been able to stand out so far. Jiang tune is already a basic genre in the field of judging bullets, and almost everyone who learns to sing and comment on bullets will learn Jiang tunes, both men and women. At the moment when the Yangtze River Delta Literary and Art Development Alliance is constantly advancing, the original novella "Jiang Yuequan" also gathers the outstanding celebrities and the most potential rookies in the evaluation field today with the concept of large commentary bomb and the integration of great cooperation. Last night, in the star-studded lineup, there were not only Famous rookies such as Qin Jianguo, Gao Bowen, Ni Yingchun, and Huang Haihua of the Shanghai Bomb Critics Troupe, as well as Zhang Jianzhen, Chen Yan, Qian Guohua and other fresh forces from Suzhou.
As a closed disciple of Jiang Yuequan, Qin Jianguo said that through the creation of the novella "Jiang Yuequan", it also allowed the famous critics of Shanghai and the Soviet Union to immerse themselves in artistic exchanges, "and while we review and tell the life story of our teacher (Jiang Yuequan), we are also wending his excellence in art." Qin Jianguo emphasized: "The teacher is very smart, and it took only five years to form his own style, which is admirable." In fact, in that era of talented critics, Jiang Yuequan was not the most outstanding when he first appeared, but he had a long-term vision and a broad pattern, and he was not satisfied with making quick money by singing the opening chapter on the radio, and always made it clear that "only by forming his own style can he stand for a long time".
The reason why Jiang Yuequan is revered as a grandmaster of the Pingtan generation is not only that his "Jiang Tune" is widely sung, and his artistic influence is far-reaching, but also that he spares no effort to inherit the art of Pingtan. Jiang Yuequan trained a large number of influential successors of "Jiang Tuning", including Wang Baiyin, Pan Wenyin, Su Yuyin, Hua Guoyin, Jiang Peisen, and Qin Jianguo. Qin Jianguo said frankly: "Now we inherit the 'Jiang School', not only to inherit the classic singing and works, but also to inherit Jiang Yuequan's lofty artistic virtues and 'ingenuity spirit'. Whether it is the meticulous grinding of traditional bibliographies or the creation of modern bibliographies, he is constantly striving for excellence and diligent pursuit."
"Today, we use the commentary bomb to talk about Jiang Yuequan, sing Jiang Yuequan, and play Jiang Yuequan, but also want to let the younger generation of actors get inspiration from it through the life of the master, understand the responsibility they shoulder, make unremitting efforts, study diligently, exercise hard, climb the peak forever, and establish the belief of making contributions to traditional culture and the cause of pingtan art!" Qin Jianguo said.
It is reported that the original novella "Jiang Yuequan" was jointly launched by Shanghai Yidong Tianxia Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Pingtan Troupe. (Xinmin Evening News reporter Zhu Yuan)
