Dahe Network News (reporter Mo Shaohua) "Sweating during the day, shedding tears at night, the sweat of this drama is more valuable than tears, the action is more powerful than the language, the hard work has a head, and the bitterness has no head..." On May 23, at the new large-scale historical Yu opera "Yi Bo Yun Tian" newly compiled large-scale historical Yu drama "Yi Bo Yun Tian" at the media meeting of the province tour of "Telling the Story of the Yellow River and Inheriting the Loyalty and Filial Piety and Righteousness", Li Shujian spoke wittily.
Following the successful 15 performances in Beijing National Centre for the Performing Arts, Shenzhen Poly Grand Theatre and other cities, the finale of the "Loyalty, Filial Piety, Festival, Righteousness" quadrilogy, and the newly compiled historical Yu opera "Yi Bo Yun Tian" starring Li Shujian will start a provincial tour on May 27, respectively, into Hebi, Luoyang, Kaifeng and other 13 cities.
It is understood that as the finale of the Chinese virtues of "loyalty, filial piety, festival and righteousness", "Yi Bo Yun Tian", was created by the Henan Yu Opera Second Troupe and operated and promoted by Henan Li Shujian Xiqu Art Center. Li Shujian, president of Henan Yu Theater, starred, Chen Yongquan wrote the screenplay, Ding Jianying and Chang Wenqing directed, Zhao Guoan composed, and Li Hongquan orchestrated and directed.
Li Shujian, who had just participated in the "Chinese Opera Plum Blossom Award" jury work and rushed back to Zhengzhou, led the main creative team to hold a unique media meeting at the Li Shujian Art Center.
They shared the story behind the creation and rehearsal of the play with everyone through live broadcasting, and explained the highlights and innovations of the play. In addition, Li Shujian, Gao Hongqi and other actors also sang wonderful excerpts such as "Baling Bridge" and "Night Reading Spring and Autumn" in the play, and the wonderful performance attracted praise from the audience in the live broadcast room. The meeting was hosted by Yue Yang, the host of xiqu broadcasting.
In fact, the second group of henan yu theater, including Li Shujian, is not known for martial arts. When he was nearly sixty years old, he starred in Guan Gong, which was a great challenge for Li Shujian, and because of this, starring in "Yi Bo Yun Tian" was called by Li Shujian as "catching ducks on the shelf" to challenge the "old man drama".
Recalling the rehearsal process, Li Shujian is still quite emotional: "In order to play Guan Gong well, I started from playing a big knife and running a round field, practicing big knife skills and horse whip skills, and rehearsed for nine hours a day for more than two months, and never relaxed a day. ”
Shouzheng innovation is a highlight of the show. Ding Jianying said that the play has "6 majors", that is, the theme is grand, the script capacity is large, the music creation is large, the stage is bold, the cast is strong, and the band is strong. The number of touring personnel in the province will be slightly reduced, but the lineup will not be reduced.
"There are many Guan Gong plays, but they are often a fragment of Guan Yu's deeds, and there are very few plays that show Guan Gong's life. "Yi Bo Yun Tian" shows Guan Yu's magnificent life in an epic way from Taoyuan Jieyi to Zhenshou Jingzhou, from Wei Zhen Huaxia to the defeat of Maicheng. Ding Jianying said, "In addition to Li Shujian's successful portrayal of Guan Gong, the performances of young actors are also remarkable." Cao Cao's three laughs after the defeat of Gao Hongqi Chibi, the series of actions of Liang Dengkun, the horse boy actor Liang Dengkun, the stunning voice of Mrs. Gan's Li Xiangfeng, and even the kebai of the two veterans, show the orderly inheritance of Yu opera. ”
"Faithfulness runs through the sun and the moon, and righteousness is thin and cloudy." The "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, faith, loyalty, and courage" condensed in Guan Yu and admired by all the worlds contains the ethics and morality of traditional Chinese culture and permeates the essence of Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period.
