Character stories
Blow out the candles
At the 1954 East China Opera Festival, Ding Shi'e won the first prize for successfully starring in the Shanghai opera "Jin Dailai". She was not complacent about it, but on the contrary, she looked for a gap. She found that she was not very scientific in vocal ventilation, and she thought of the singers' method of using qi. Film director Zhang Junxiang once helped direct the Shanghai opera "Luohan Qian", and his lover Zhou Xiaoyan is a famous soprano singer. Therefore, Ding Shi'e humbly went to the door to ask for advice. Zhou Xiaoyan did not have any reservations, while teaching luck skills, said that "qi length" is the key, suggested that she practice blowing candles.
Ding Shi'e really took it seriously, and returned to her home on Huating Road and began to practice. She put a few lit candles on the table, inhaled enough to blow hard at intervals, blew out and lit them, although boring, but insisted on training every day. After a period of hard practice, she moved farther and farther away from the table where the candles were placed, and the intensity of the blowing became more and more intense. At the same time, she slowly practiced scientific luck.
This really works. Scientific luck played a big role in her later development and enrichment of the "Ding Pai Singing Voice".

The "fast flowing water" of the "Yangtze River rolling to the east" in the Shanghai opera "BlossomIng Red Clouds" is still sung endlessly among the audience. It was a brand-new Shanghai opera board style created by Ding Shi'e inspired by the traditional Peking Opera song "Flowing Water", and the correct use of qi when singing this section was the key. In the singing of "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" and "Education Tiger Rong", Ding Shi'e broke through the traditional singing method of "Fuzi Board" from slow to fast, and when she sang "early thinking, night dreams, and looking forward to one day, I can enter the classroom with dignity", she consciously slowed down the rhythm, sang euphemistically and affectionately, and meticulously expressed Lin Peifen's unstable mood of dropping out of school due to poverty in the old society. This is her clever use of the "anti-yin and yang" tune of Shanghai opera. This method was later used in the "Memories" of singing "Luohan Qian" and the "Pan Feng" in "Thunderstorm". When singing the sacrifice of the sea in the "Battle of Jia wu", the three words "I hope you" are sung, and she can drag ten boards in one breath to show Jin Tang's mother's grief-stricken state of mind of missing her relatives.
As a generation of masters of Shanghai opera, Ding Shi'e created the Ding school of art dares to be innovative, whether it is the treatment of the cavity, the rhythm strength, or the emotional color, there are development and changes, and it is really possible to go with the emotions, because people are fixed, beautiful and graceful, twists and turns. Her outstanding achievements in art are inseparable from her reference to other disciplines of art and her persistent pursuit of selflessness.
