Ya Fen, a national first-class actor, the leader of the Shanghai Yue Theater Troupe, and the famous Hua Dan. He is one of the most prominent and influential Mesozoic artists among the contemporary "Yuan School" descendants.
In the Yue opera genre where a hundred flowers bloom and compete for freshness, the "Yuan School" founded by a generation of grandmaster Yuan Xuefen has a unique high standard with its deep grievances, simple and moving singing voice and delicate and sincere, natural and divine performances. The "Yuan Pai" singing voice is neither gorgeous nor complicated, but it can be done with emotion, mournful and sincere, the words are into the heart, the sentences are moving, and the lyricism of the music enters the hearts of the characters, and also touches the hearts of countless audiences.
The artistic image created by the "Yuan School" art is often the "big green coat" standing in the middle of the stage, and it is also the pillar on the stage of Yue opera. Whether it is the boudoir Qianjin Cui Yingying, or the hero Liang Hongyu, or even Lu Xun's tragic and miserable Xianglin sister-in-law... Under the interpretation of "Yuan Pai", all of them have unique personalities and are moving. Among the contemporary "Yuan School" descendants, Fang Yafen is undoubtedly one of the most prominent and influential Mesozoic artists.
From the art for decades, Fang Yafen has always been so radiant. Eternal youth, full of vigor, enthusiastic and enthusiastic for friends, loving and cherishing for the audience, and meticulously caring and promoting students... In the eyes of the audience, she is the "Queen of Fang" with a variety of styles, and in the eyes of her friends, she is affectionately known as "Princess Fenfen"... It can be said that Fang Yafen, who "one person with a thousand faces", used the role image she created to give the audience an excellent answer: "Xianglin Sister-in-law", "Xi Xiang Ji", "Liang Zhu", "Dream of the Red Chamber" is the result of her study of the master's performance art, and the audience praises it; "Yuqing Sister-in-law", which won the top of the Chinese drama "Plum Blossom Award", is her own artistic image carefully created, and the audience praised; the "Golden School" famous drama "Jade Hairpin", and even the anti-string interpretation of Jia Baoyu, is the work of her cross-genre learning of previous artists. It also made the audience laugh... She is not only good at Hua Dan, Boumen Dan, and Qingyi, but also can apply for the knife Ma Dan and Wu Dan, and she can also be competent for Spicy Dan and Lao Dan, which can be described as unhindered by literature and martial arts, and the drama road is broad.
The most commendable thing is that Fang Yafen is currently the only actor who integrates the protagonists of the "Four Classics of Yue Opera": "Liang Zhu", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Xi Xiang Ji" and "Xiang Lin Sister-in-law". Over the years, she not only served as the head of a troupe of Shanghai Yue Opera, but also led the young Yue opera people to take the right path of "going out of the play", and also filmed two wonderful Yue opera films such as "The Tale of the West Chamber" and "Yu Qing Sister-in-law", and also did her best to carry forward the inheritance of the "Yuan Pai" art of Yue opera... Although the heavy responsibility is on her shoulders, Fang Yafen is heavy, and the audience familiar with her knows that whether it is singing, dressing or acting, These years Fang Yafen can be described as pure fire, getting better and better, so every time she plays a play, she can always attract countless "fans" to flock to her. What is even more rare is that as one of the leading artists of the Mesozoic Era cultivated by Shanghai Yue Theatre, Fang Yafen not only carries the banner of "male and female co-performance" of Yue opera, but also does not change her original intention on this artistic road, and forges ahead, but also shoulders the attention to the future development of the genre. Not only did it call for the establishment of theaters and museums belonging to Yue opera in the society, but also tirelessly held lectures in major universities, communities, and libraries. The narration of yue opera's past and present lives, the exquisite restoration of the singing characteristics of each Yue opera predecessor, and even the interpretation and perception of the new works created in recent years have all caused a tidal wave of applause from the audience. She knows very well that the future of Yue opera is in the midst of a pair of eager eyes on the stage, and a seed is sown, and one day it will achieve a fruitful harvest.
From rookies to famous artists, from artists to managers, from learners to inheritors, in Fang Yafen's decades of Yue opera life, she has always adhered to the revitalization of opera, talent-oriented, inheritance and development, and always put it first. This is the mission, but also the responsibility.
