April 24 (Fujian Daily correspondent Jiang Peng reporter Yang Lichao) From the Fanghua Theater on the Banks of the Baima River in Fuzhou to the Nanning Theater on the Yongjiang River, Chen Liyu has walked for nearly 30 years.

The final appraisal of the 29th Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award, which began on the 13th of this month, has gradually entered a better state with the performance of various major dramas. On the evening of the 22nd, selected by the Fujian Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, the Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, the Provincial Drama Association and the Fujian Fanghuayue Opera Troupe, Chen Liyu, a national first-class actor and a provincial representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage "Yue Opera (Yin Pai)", bloomed on the Shenmei Stage with the participating play "After reunion". What impressed the audience was the Min Yun classic, yin Yun Fanghua.

"After Reunion": both traditional and modern

When it comes to "After reunion", fans should be no strangers. It is a classic masterpiece of the late Fujian drama master Chen Renjian, and in 1959 it was selected as a tribute to the tenth anniversary of the founding of New China, Jinjing, and was praised by Tian Han as "another victory in the adaptation and collation of opera repertoire after the "Fifteen Consecutive", and another victory of the party's policy of 'a hundred flowers blooming and pushing out the old and bringing out the new'". What is more commendable is that in 1960, under the guidance of Premier Zhou Enlai, the Puxian opera "After reunion" was filmed in Changchun Film Studio, which became a representative play of Fujian drama in New China.

Although it was born more than half a century ago, the value of classics has not diminished with the passage of time. This time, the Fanghuayue Opera Troupe re-created and rehearsed the Yue opera "After the Reunion", invited the national first-class screenwriter Fang Zhaohui to carry out transplantation and adaptation, and the famous opera director Han Jianying sat on the stage to dispatch. After more than a year of running-in, in Nanning, the audience saw "After reunion" full of exploration - with the modern "black box" theater as the framework, in the traditional stage structure of one table and two chairs, the whole play tries to use objects to refer to people, red, black and gray three different colors of yarn, gluing together the characters of different time and space, so that the tragedy of the protagonist Shi Tongsheng's family is externalized in front of the audience's eyes, calmly and accurately filling the stage space.

As a Chinese opera work with the meaning of Western classical tragedy, "After Reunion" is both traditional and modern. Wrapped under the shell of "godson fame" is the dissection and care of human nature. "When the title of the gold list is titled, the cave house flowers candle night", the reunion has become the beginning and opening of the great tragedy, and the ups and downs and the plot full of mutations will explain the protagonist's personality tragedy and fate tragedy to the fullest.

Yin Pai: A generous gift for 60 years in Fujian

In 1959, Yin Guifang, a generation of Yue opera masters, led her Fanghua Yue opera troupe to Fuzhou, and the big tree moved south, sowing the seeds of Yue opera art for Bamin.

In Yue opera, female primary school students can be called the most representative profession. The singing voice of Yue opera girls has a male charm and strengthens its own delicate and exquisite characteristics. There are many genres, so that Yue opera gradually has a national influence. Among them, the Yin (Guifang) school is the only one among the many genres of Yue opera that is listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, and has always been the most distinctive and most sought after by opera fans. As an important base for the development of Yin Pai art, fanghuayue opera troupe has the mission of inheriting yin pai art, and has continuously explored and worked hard.

Speaking of "After the Reunion", Fang Hua has a deep relationship with it, and Yin Guifang once adapted it into the Yue opera "Father and Son Hate"; at the same time, Yin Guifang's disciple Yin Xiaofang also performed the play in Zhejiang. Under the impetus of the two gentlemen, the play has become a representative play of Yin Pai with inheritance significance, high artistic value and social value.

In the past 60 years since entering Fujian, FangHuachuang has arranged a large number of audience favorite plays and cultivated many outstanding actors, so that Yue opera has firmly rooted in the Fujian opera circle. In recent years, every important work of Fanghua has attracted the attention of the province's theater circles and fans. In this transplant rehearsal of "After the Reunion", the troupe also invited famous opera musicians Li Yanhua and Tang Xiaodong to create and compose music, and Chen Wenlong, Song Shiqiang, Dong Yi, Mu Lihua and other people, the backbone of the stage art field in our province, served as stage designers.

The joining of a number of famous artists, more than a year of hard work before and after, shows the ambition of "After reunion" to dock and integrate Min Yun and Yin Yun again. The play draws nourishment from Fujian drama, and the creation around Yin Pai, especially allowing Yin Pai Xiaosheng to break through the image of the "perfect man" in the past, is nothing less than a congratulatory gift to the development of the genre on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Entering Fujian.

Chen Liyu: Yue opera name Xiaoshengfu built

As we all know, Yue opera uses dialects to sing white, and the famous characters are mostly from Zhejiang, but Chen Liyu is an authentic Fuzhou native. Her appearance and growth is itself a wisp of greenery for Fang Hua and Yin Pai to sow and cultivate Eight Min. Winning the gold medal at the first "Yue Women's Competition" held by CCTV is a starting point worth remembering in her art. Since then, with the care of the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and the support of the leaders of the regiment, the Yin faction of Yue opera has entered the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage, and Chen Liyu has also become one of the provincial non-genetic inheritors with her artistic strength.

Yin Xiaofang, a performing artist of Shichengyue Opera, twice studied drama performance and drama literature at the China Academy of Performing Arts, and with the accumulation of stage practice for many years, Chen Liyu gradually formed a performance style that was implicit but not revealing, moving and extraordinary, simple and sincere, delicate and evocative. In the inheritance of Yin Pai's vocal cavity, she highlights "stability" and "fineness", the ups and downs are looming, and the singing is simple and sincere, subtle and rounded.

Shi Tongsheng, who played "After Reunion", is one of the biggest challenges chen Liyu encountered in her artistic career, because Shi is both the driving force of the tragedy and the protagonist of the tragedy, hateful and pitiful. In order to interpret shi's rich emotional changes and make this controversial character vividly and three-dimensionally reshaped on the stage, Chen Liyu did a lot of desk work to find the inner world of the character. Huang Guoqing, head of the Fanghuayue Opera Troupe in Fujian Province, said that Chen Liyu shaped the inner world of the characters in the "Tuan" drama to be delicate and natural, forming a performance that meets the aesthetic requirements of the times, has distinct genre characteristics and has a personal style charm, releasing her artistic accumulation in the past 30 years.

"I'm lucky to have a classic script, a classic character." After the performance, Chen Liyu expressed the hope that the voice of the Yin Pai of Yue Opera can be integrated into Nanning, a "place where folk songs are loved in the world", so that the audience can feel the unique charm of Fujian classic drama more deeply while appreciating the pure Art of Yin Pai.
