【A Thousand Old Filmmakers Traces (511)——Gu Chunzhang】
For the general audience, the actors in "Red Lantern", one of the "Eight Model Plays", are the most familiar with Li Yuhe's actor Qian Haoliang (Haoliang), Grandma Li's actor Gao Yuqian and Li Tiemei's actor Liu Changyu, if more familiar, it is also Hatoyama's actor Yuan Shihai, Wang Lianju's actor Sun Hongxun and so on.
So, do you remember the knife sharpener who was ordered to contact Li Yuhe and take the secret code?
In the movie, Li Yuhe drinks porridge at the porridge shed while waiting for the liaison officer. After a while, a knife sharpener disguised as a platoon leader of the Baishan guerrilla group of the Eighth Route Army carried a knife sharpening bench to the porridge shed, and he sang: "I look around to visit my relatives." The red light hung high for a headshot, and I shouted: 'Sharpen the scissors to get a kitchen knife!' ’”
For decades, the classic cry of "sharpening scissors to make a kitchen knife" has accompanied generations of people.
Do you know who the knife sharpener is? He is the famous Peking Opera performance artist Gu Chunzhang.
In modern Peking Opera art films, if you think that Gu Chunzhang has only played this one role, you are wrong, he also played the secret liaison of the Eighth Route Army and a restaurant guy in "Plains Combat".
There is such a plot, Zhao Yonggang, a platoon commander of a certain unit of the Eighth Route Army, and Li Hu, a soldier, came to a small restaurant near the county railway station, and the guy was very happy. Zhao Yonggang took out a refined cigarette box, pretending to let the guy smoke, the guy looked around, put a note in his hand into the cigarette box, and whispered: "This is the topographic map of the railway station, and the devil's arms are concentrating here." ”
Chinese Peking Opera is full of talent, and the same is true in the 1960s and 1970s. Being able to play two roles in one of the few modern Peking operas also proves Gu Chunzhang's excellence from one side.
Gu Chunzhang, born in Beijing in 1932, began to study peking opera art at the age of 6, and has performed in classes in Tianjin, Northeast China and other places. After the founding of New China, he joined the China Peking Opera House, where he played for Mei Lanfang and shared the stage with Famous Peking Opera artists such as Li Shaochun, Yuan Shihai, Ye Shenglan, and Du Jinfang.
Gu Chunzhang has twice visited the teacher, first from Ye Shengzhang to learn martial arts ugly, and in 1988 he also learned yuan Shihai as a teacher to learn flower faces, it should be said that he is a "net ugly" two-door performance artist.
Why is it that a famous Peking opera person who has already become famous and has become a family because of his performances in "Three Forks", "Serial Set", "Red Lantern", "Plains Battle", etc., at the age of 56, must once again worship "Hatoyama" Yuan Shihai? In this regard, Gu Chunzhang once said: "Now that the Peking Opera stage is cold and clear, the actors are not picking up, the change of profession, the walking of the cave, who cares about the future of Peking Opera? Yuan Pai is broad and profound, and is a milestone in the flower face industry. While Yuan Laojian is still alive, I want to learn art from a teacher, and in the future I will become a teacher, teach students, pass on the Yuan Sect, and don't destroy it in our hands. ”
It can be seen that Gu Chunzhang's realm is high.
On December 14, 2016, the famous Peking Opera performance artist Gu Chunzhang passed away at the age of 84.
Gu Chunzhang has a loud voice, excellent singing, quick hands, solid skills, and is an excellent "net ugly" two-door Peking Opera performance artist. His traditional drama masterpieces mainly include "Three Forks", "Heroes of the Crowd", "Serial Set", "Qiu Jiang", "Wild Boar Forest", "Time Shift Stealing Chicken", "Xu Liang's Birth", "Kowloon Cup", "Jiujiangkou", "Li Kui", "Big Trouble in the Heavenly Palace" and so on.
