A fold of drama is related to Peking Opera
When she was a child, her mother wanted her to "get more exposed to art", so she took her to learn Peking Opera and folk dance. In an acting class, because of a fold of "Su Sanqi Solution", the complete singing lyrics, the gentle voice, and the action in place. "It is not easy for a six-year-old child to write down a whole fold, and it is dressed up, and from this point on, the teacher thinks that I am more suitable for learning Peking Opera." Later, Tianjin Opera School set up a training department, hoping that I would go back to study, and in 1995, when I was recruiting a formal student, I went back to study, at that time I had passed the dance and Peking opera examinations, and the teachers unanimously felt that I was suitable for Peking Opera, so I listened to the suggestions of the teachers and began to study opera. Dou Xiaoxuan explained.
When he entered the Beijing Opera House in 2006, Dou Xiaoxuan did not have a mentor of his own. Dou Xiaoxuan's most admired idol was Du Jinfang, and during that time, she insisted on watching Du Jinfang's opera audio and video every night, and repeatedly pondered and studied. At an exhibition competition, Dou Xiaoxuan received attention for acting in Du Jinfang's famous drama "Wild Boar Forest". In 2007, Dou Xiaoxuan officially baidu Jinfang as a teacher and finally realized his dream.
Dou Xiaoxuan immersed herself in learning "Xie Yaohuan", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Liu Yin" and other plays with the teacher. "I am very fortunate that I have the opportunity to learn from Mr. Du. My biggest gain in the past few years is that I learned from Teacher Du that acting should start from the psychology of the characters, and better show and shape the characters by speculating on the characteristics of the characters. ”
The unfashionable "elderly"
Going to work in the morning, practicing in the afternoon, watching plays and studying in the evening, too regular work and rest time, so that Dou Xiaoxuan was laughed at by friends as "old people". "I am a standard 'housewife'", after coming to Beijing for so many years, Dou Xiaoxuan has not even been to the Summer Palace.
Since leaving her family at the age of 6 to live a collective life at the theater school, Dou Xiaoxuan spent most of her time from childhood to youth in the practice room, and many of her peers like to pursue the "fashion", which she does not understand. You rarely log in to QQ and do not use QQ mailbox. "The only thing I use now is Weibo", but Dou Xiaoxuan's Weibo is also mostly focused on Peking Opera content.
"The circle of life is indeed relatively narrow, but I like such a simple life, just like my pure pursuit of Peking Opera." Yes, just like Dou Xiaoxuan's self-introduction on Weibo, what she pursues is to be an ordinary, simple Peking Opera person.
Got acquainted with the door of the mansion and experienced Yang Jiuhong
Dou Xiaoxuan said, "I have watched the TV series "The Gate of the Great Mansion" many times, and I especially like it, and I will watch it again if "The Gate of the Great Mansion" is replayed until now. At that time, when I heard that this play was going to be adapted into Peking Opera, I was very excited. To be honest, I have acted in many new choreographers, but when I met Yang Jiuhong, I first had a yearning for this role from the bottom of my heart. When I was informed that I would play Yang Jiuhong, I was particularly happy and determined to play yang Jiuhong well. My master also especially liked "The Great Mansion Gate" and liked director Guo Baochang, and after I decided to star in the Peking Opera "The Great Mansion Gate", Master was also particularly happy for me. ”
The Peking opera "The Gate of the Great Mansion" is Dou Xiaoxuan's second cooperation with director Li Zhuoqun after "Nian Yu Guanyin". "The efficiency of rehearsing with Zhuo Qun is particularly high, Zhuo Qun will think of several plans before going to the rehearsal hall, and after we deduce it on the spot, we will make adjustments according to our own situation and actual effects." Dou Xiaoxuan said, "Although zhuo Qun's rehearsal efficiency is very high every time, the overall rehearsal cycle is very long, because we will repeatedly process, skillfully, and take into account every detail." ”
Known as the "little silk man", the previously created roles are mainly weak and lovely fairies, misses, in order to play Yang Jiuhong such a strong emotional, complex background and full of feminine charm of the role, Dou Xiaoxuan is full of work. "Since I got this script, I have been looking for Yang Jiuhong's feelings according to the script, the director's concept and my own understanding, director Guo Baochang and director Zhuo Qun are inspiring me, and I myself have found a lot of related literary and artistic works to watch."
After filming the promotional film of the Peking Opera "The Gate of the Big Mansion", Dou Xiaoxuan completely found her Yang Jiuhong temperament. "The day before the filming, we tried on makeup for the first time, I put on Yang Jiuhong's costume for the first time, and when I looked in the mirror, I suddenly felt that I was that character. When filming, the director of the promotional film also designed a lot of beautiful situations, such as the moonlit night, the yellow leaves of the ginkgo biloba, the snow of goose feathers, and when I interpreted in those situations, I felt as if I were the character of Yang Jiuhong, and after seeing myself in the monitor, I was more convinced of my performance. After filming, when I went back to my daily rehearsals, I felt that I could better control the character and understand the heart of the character. ”
