Lying in bed at night, Liu Jiazhen used to repeatedly review the words to be recited on the stage. On October 18th, the large-scale Golden Autumn Situation Recitation Performance of "The Jiangnan of Poetry" was held at the Hongqiao Art Center, and Liu Jiazhen recited Dai Wangshu's "Rain Lane". "This is a popular poem, many artists have read it, I need to express my own mood, style."
"Rain Alley" ended, and the audience burst into warm applause. Few viewers have found that this voice is also Kenichi Mikami in "Tokyo Love Story", Tatsuya Kashiwa in "Under the Same Roof", Sima Jiang Taro in "Looking Back and Seeing Him Again", or Lucius Malfoy in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".
Liu Jiazhen has dealt with the voice for half a lifetime, he has voiced many film and television dramas such as "Eagle Crown Manor", "Growing Pains", "Battlestar Galactica", "Transformers" and many other film and television dramas, and has won many national awards such as the "Feitian Award". In "Roots", he used his voice to portray a noble slave owner doctor with an age span from 20 to 60 years old, and the film and the "Hotel" and "Murder, Money, Madness" that he participated in the dubbing won the first prize of the National Translation and Production Award. Standing on the stage and reciting, Liu Jiazhen is no longer a role, but himself, "Walking on the stage is a performance art, the voice is depressed to the eyes, gait, the whole stage is yours." ”
Some reciters like to bring folders to the scene, and Liu Jiazhen resists assistive tools. Experienced, he did not deny that he had forgotten his words, and once recited the "Farewell, Brother" by Yin Fu, the fifth martyr of the Left League, and at the end, Liu Jiazhen suddenly jammed, "The brain is blank." "As a professional actor, he looks as usual," repeating a few words from the poem, and then returning to his mind. Behind the curtain, Liu Jiazhen specifically asked the audience, and no one even found this small accident.
"Jiangnan of Poetry" is produced by Shanghai Writers Association and Shanghai Fanyin Flute Culture Communication Co., Ltd. The performance interprets the beauty of literature and the beauty of sound rhythm in four chapters: the ancient poem "Jiangnan Can Pick Lotus", the obscure poem "It seems that the deceased came", the foreign classic poem of "The Sea Rises bright moon", and the original poetry of "Jiangnan of Poetry" depicting Shanghai. Ding Jianhua, Wang Shihuai, Wang Su, Liu Jiazhen, Zhao Jing, Yang Ming, Chen Yanhua, Yan Xiaopin and other actors led the audience into the poetry and painting of Jiangnan. On the stage nearly 4 meters high, guqin player Du Jinpeng recited and accompanied the four ancient poems of "Jiangnan Four Screens", rendering the wind bones of the literati "Qingfeng Jiaoyue", cellist Xu Jiajia and Ding Jianhua collaborated on "I Once Loved You", and the cello strings and recitation sounded like a cry. Young Shen Congwen and Zhang Zhaohe, played by Yang Zi'an and Ni Wenjie, discuss what is the "historical" years in the days of love, leading to the philosophical story of the middle-aged Shen Congwen, played by Yang Ming, on "history is a long river". Liu Jiazhen, Zhao Jing, Yang Ming, Liu Jian, and Li Na jointly performed "The Aria of Jiang Lu" created by the poet Zhao Lihong, which pushed the performance to a climax.
In the past, there were only one or two recitations in Shanghai a year, and in recent years, there have been five or six related performances every quarter, and the venues have developed from bookstores and community cultural centers to regular theaters such as Shanghai Grand Theatre, Oriental Art Center, and Hongqiao Art Center. Liu Jiazhen deeply felt that "recitation" was welcomed by the market, which he attributed to language programs such as CCTV's "Readers" to make the audience realize the charm of words being interpreted by sound.
Wang Su, another performer of "Jiangnan of Poetry", also felt the same way, "The increasing number of cultural variety shows has made the recitation meeting stand out in the performance market. Wang Su has directed the dubbing of popular film and television dramas such as "The Legend of paladin III" and "Step by Step". She specially selected the portuguese poet Fernando Pessori's "Every Day You Are Unhappy Is Not Yours" for "The Gangnam of Poetry".
The production team matched Wang Su's performance with a situational short drama, reflecting the life pressure of white-collar workers in the workplace, women's marriage and love problems, and the relationship dilemma between children and parents. Wang Su hopes to convey to the audience through his own voice that "life needs to find happiness, such as watching small turtles and small ants crawling, they also learn to live happily."
Wang Su taught lines at the Shanghai Theater Academy, "The vigorous growth of the recitation team is not unrelated to the simplicity of its entry, and it is an excellent way of life to feel the beauty of chinese and Chinese words and words in just a few minutes." In Wang Su's eyes, the voice is like a paintbrush, giving the words different colors and different lines, "We follow every sentence and every word to breathe and grow together." But she also admits that this skill, which seems to be known to everyone, requires a long period of training to master, "the interspersed with the strength of breath and pronunciation, including the position of oral vocalization, is extremely professional." Otherwise, drama school students would not have to spend 4 years studying. ”
The Internet is hotly discussing why young actors need to be dubbed, Liu Jiazhen said that honing a good voice requires craftsmanship, "Young actors are too busy, with a script in hand, and two scripts in the bag, it is easy to take the form." Lines and recitations take time to polish, and it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step. There is a clear aesthetic goal, there is a firm pursuit, there is a real good voice. ”
