childhood
Fu Xiru grew up in a family of Peking opera violinists. The diligent father practiced at home for 8 hours, he accidentally picked up two chopsticks at a time to learn the way his father played the piano, and was considered to like Jinghu and had artistic signs, and since then he has begun to learn the piano with his father.
"There are 40 matches in a box, and when I was a child, I practiced playing the piano every day and pulling one by one until all 40 were taken out, and after taking them out, I had to put them back one by one." The match factory never cut corners, sometimes taking a match to light a cigarette for my father, and the used sticks were put back by my father as usual.
The practice time is basically after kindergarten and primary school, first do homework, eat, and start practicing on time at six o'clock, when an episode of cartoons is just at six o'clock to six thirty, which is the moment that children look forward to, but Fu Xiru must turn off the TV to practice every day when he sees six o'clock, so he can only watch half an episode.
Now recalling the childhood that was pieced together by those half-episode cartoons, Fu Xiru smiled: "Why is it okay to make up some stories now, probably forced out by half-episode animations." "There are also sweet times, when I was a child, I came to Shanghai once and ate the sweet and sticky Shanghai hemp ball, and the taste memory was unforgettable. Later, after entering the drama school and receiving admission notices from Beijing, Shanghai and Shandong at the same time, Fu Xiru did not hesitate to choose Shanghai, one is because of hemp ball, and the other two places are musicians, and they can come to Shanghai to be actors. At that time, the male gods were Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and 007, and naturally wanted to come to Shanghai to be an actor.
Master
In 1992, 11-year-old Fu Xilai studied opera in Shanghai and has been associated with Xu Hui ever since. Several campuses are in Xuhui, and the Shanghai Peking Opera House before and after the relocation is also in Xuhui, and in his opinion, this is a place with a special Shanghai flavor. Fu Xiru said that he was particularly lucky, and all the way he met were famous "masters".
"No teacher let me learn from himself, I must be like him, to be like him, to teach me the method, according to their own conditions, according to their own understanding, experience, outlook on life to play their own strengths, to form their own artistic style." 」
Loving and cherishing talents, understanding and enlightened, Fu Xiru cherished the photos of teachers and students along the way. Zhang Wenjuan, Wang Siji, Tong Xiangling, Zhang Shaolou... His hard-working teachers also looked at it and felt that they were talentable, and they wanted to add a small stove to him. There is a teacher Zhu Fuxia, who is known as "Mountain City Ye Shenglan", every day at four o'clock in the morning to Fu Xiru's bed to ask him to get up and practice, Xiao Fu pretended to sleep, the teacher was not loud, he poked with his hand, until he turned over and got up, followed him to practice, practiced at four o'clock to six o'clock, and then took the morning homework of the drama school. Unexpectedly, practicing too hard also led to ligament relaxation, intervertebral disc herniation, and he was once facing another dark moment after the voice change and collapse. Fortunately, in all this, Fu Xiru miraculously survived!
Many people have asked him why there is no formal worship of teachers, Fu Xiru said, there are too many teachers, if you worship all have to worship, if you only worship one, you are sorry for other teachers, these famous teachers who are famous in the Peking Opera circle and the weizhen side are all his leaders, "I have the honor to learn from so many teachers, they have given me different help in different artistic stages, and they have left me with particularly unforgettable memories and wealth." ”
Into the play
From the entry of Hui Ban into Beijing in 1790 to the prelude to the birth of Peking Opera, to the Hai na Bai Chuan, integrating the strengths of each family, integrating the arts of literature, art, martial arts, dance, singing, performance and other arts, becoming the most popular drama in China, and the Peking Opera formed in Beijing but not the local opera in Beijing is integrated and profound. In 1876, the term Peking Opera first appeared in the Shanghai "Declaration", and this name is still used today.
There are various divisions of Peking Opera, mainly life, dan, purity, and ugliness. Shengxing is one of the most important character professions in Peking Opera, "formerly called Sheng Hang head card, and later it was shengdan and equal emphasis". The old students are three Dingjia and the four big beards are born. From explaining the life line in detail to the use of electric lights in the theater, listening to the play to watching the play, Peking Opera from focusing on singing to promoting the development of visual appearance and stage effect, Fu Xiru's guide tour has said that there is "acting".
One man's "Sha Jia Bang"
Shanghai Peking Opera Young Actor Wang Weijia brought the Meipai famous section "Guifei Drunk", Hao Jie and Liu Xiao brought "Three Forks", the national first-class player and pianist Zhou Xiaoming played the triangle, and the self-proclaimed self-singing "Shajiabang Zhidou" brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax, and the audience was able to "enter the play" for a second while guiding and listening.
"Many people think that Peking Opera is profound, difficult to understand, obscure, ancient, and far away from us, but when we come into contact, we find that it is not like that." Fu Xiru said that in the era of "wine is also afraid of deep alleys", as a Peking Opera actor, you must try to make everyone as possible able to contact Peking Opera, "You can contact and dislike it, but it is a pity to lose the opportunity to get acquainted with Peking Opera because you have not been exposed." ”
Live audience experience costumes
Speaking of the "rules" and "innovation" of Peking Opera, Fu Xiru said that rules, norms, and rules bind actors, but there is still a lot of space in the "rules of certainty", so it will be wonderful, there are so many genres, each genre plays its own strengths according to its own conditions. Everyone also has their own characteristics, which will emerge a lot of talents, after thousands of hammers, they will use a variety of skills to show the charm of Peking Opera, let you meet, let you admire!
