(Shao Jianbo) accompanying actor Mr. Shen Jinbo trivia

Mr. Shen Jinbo's trivia (transfer)

Mr. Shen Jinbo, played by Shao Jianbo in the original stage and movie modern Peking Opera "Wise Tiger Mountain", has been dead for nearly fourteen years, and he died on July 14, 1990 due to ineffective cancer treatment, just after the year of Hua Jia.

Shen Jinbo was born in a Pear Garden family in Beijing, his father engaged in Peking Opera, Ying Gong Laosheng, has a "left voice", that is, the voice is not innocent, with a false tone, his uncle Shen Yucai, is a talented and outstanding pianist, the Original Modern Peking Opera "Red Lantern" in the Beijing Opera House of China, Jinghu, played by his uncle. When Shen Jinbo was a child, the Peking Opera class with the greatest influence in the ancient capital of Beijing naturally had to be rich and prosperous, but this was the old class, which only paid attention to extremely strict professional training, but did not pay any attention to cultural education, so that some graduates stepped into the society and became well-known good horns, but they were still a "blind blind" who was difficult to read and hyphenate, and still relied on oral transmission and rote memorization to perform in the arts, which inevitably limited the development and improvement of the performing arts. It is precisely because of this that some far-sighted new cultural figures, such as Ouyang Yuqian and Jiao Juyin, have targeted the creation of a new opera school that pays attention to cultural education, the Chinese Opera School, which is strictly trained and professional, and has successively cultivated talents in moral, harmonious, golden, and jade mathematics, and has sent quite energetic fresh blood to the north and south Peking opera circles.

Shen Jinbo, who studied drama with his father at the age of seven, was admitted to the Chinese Opera School at the age of ten, and Li Hezeng, who was one year older than him, became the founder of the Peking Opera Xusheng Gao school, the famous Mr. Gao Qingkui's powerful protégé, inheriting a series of high-school dramas such as "Gifting The Robe", "Baling Road", "Xiaoyaojin" and so on.

The Chinese Opera School is willing to work hard to ask cultural teachers to teach Chinese language and political lessons to students, so the students from the school have a solid professional skills in stage performance and also have a certain strength in choreography and directing. At that time, the rules and regulations of the school were more advanced than those of the old Fuliansheng class, and the students were wearing neat and clean school uniforms, and there was a school bus to pick them up, which attracted the students of the Fuliansheng class, which was obviously difficult to compare with these aspects, and could only "resist" with questions such as "Our class has its own grandfather, who is your grandfather in the drama school?" However, these Chinese opera students, who had received cultural education and already had a certain enlightened mind, were able to further raise Lenin's great name to compete with it, and people had to be impressed by him.

As for the strict atmosphere of the school, Shen Jinbo also used examples to support the author before his death. He learned "Wu Jia Po", if he wanted to play with the female students who played Wang Baojun, he had to apply to the school affairs office, and then he was arranged to the designated place at the specified time, accompanied by a supervising scholar, in order to play with the invited female students, and when they were finished, they would give up their own houses and not disturb each other.

Shen Jinbo, who graduated from such a new opera school, pursued the artistic creed of "boldness without brutality, innovation without conformity" throughout his life. This artistic creed, which conforms to the dialectical relationship of the unity of opposites, comes from the direct influence of The Artistically Profound Principal Jiao Juyin.

In the year after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Jiao Juyin established the Beijing Museum of Art, and personally served as the curator, organized the establishment of the Peking Opera Troupe, specialized in the innovative repertoire, and personally served as a screenwriter and wrote the script. At that time, Shen Jinbo worked as an actor in the Peking Opera Troupe. He clearly remembered that Jiao Juyin, who was accustomed to playing at night, always took him after dinner to the secluded room in the museum, sent him outside to buy two packs of cigarettes, and then covered the door and waved endlessly. Shen Jinbo gradually fell asleep in the simple bed of the neighboring house and fell into a deep sleep.

"Jin Bo, get up, get up, walk around" put aside the pen to cover up, Jiao Juyin, who had not closed his eyes all night, always slapped Shen Jinbo's buttocks like this, urging him to get up and start a new day's practice and labor.

At this time, what appeared in front of Shen Jinbo was already a brilliant morning light. He remembered exactly that Jiao Juyin was like this, almost sleepless for fifteen consecutive nights, and adapted Shakespeare's famous play "Romeo and Juliet" into Peking Opera in one fell swoop. In this play, Shen Jinbo plays the role of the "yuanwai" who has been sinicized.

Later, in Jiao Juyin's "Peach Blossom Fan" adapted from Kong Shangren's original work, Shen Jinbo played the male protagonist Hou Chaozong, and the female protagonist Li Xiangjun was Gao Yuqian, who later played Grandma Li in the original modern Peking Opera "Red Lantern". This drama fully embodies the spirit of innovation, and Shen Jinbo paradoxically uses a big voice to show the role of Hou Chaozong.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, Shen Jinbo went south from Beijing to Shanghai and joined the East China Experimental Peking Opera Troupe. Later, he introduced his brother Wang Jinlu, a famous Yang Pai wusheng, into this troupe as an actor.

In the winter of 1953, Shen Jinbo, together with a condolence delegation led by Marshal He Long, went to war-torn Korea to perform for the most lovely person, the Chinese Volunteer Army.

In 1956, the East China Experimental Peking Opera Troupe and the People's Peking Opera Troupe merged to form the Shanghai Peking Opera House. Soon after the establishment of the academy, Shen Jinbo was selected and accompanied by the newly formed visiting Soviet performance troupe to several Soviet republics, playing for president Zhou Xinfang, and performing plays such as "Four Soldiers" and "Fifteen Guans", which were warmly welcomed, and he also won the honorary award issued by the Ministry of Culture of the Soviet Union. Since then, Shen Jinbo has also accompanied the Chinese art delegation to Europe to perform in France and other countries, yang bo he played, li Yanfei played by Yan Huizhu, Xu Yanzhao played by Lou Zhenkui, and the three-person chorus of "ErjinGong", which caused a sensation, and the performance of the pearls that complemented each other perfectly, the sound of different colors, pleasant and beautiful singing voice, made people in those who are popular in western opera countries greatly interested, and he and his partners were praised as "Chinese tenor and soprano".

Shen Jinbo's voice is crisp and bright and tall and high-pitched, and it is not too much to describe it as a loud cloud. His talent condition is indeed one of the most powerful people in the high school lineage. His singing style was greatly appreciated by Chairman Mao Zedong, Premier Zhou Enlai and other leading comrades of the party and the state, and in the 1950s and 1960s, he was often invited to participate in the literary and artistic evenings for the head of the Central Committee. At one of the party's party, Chairman Mao, who was full of enthusiasm, went so far as to order him to sing eleven high-school plays. Among them, the passage in "Xiaoyaojin" that constantly repeats "bullying the widow" is often sung by Chairman Mao. Once, Chairman Mao also summoned Shen Jinbo, who had finished singing, to himself and asked, "How is it that the "Xiaoyaojin" you just sang is a little different from what I remember?" ”

"I don't know how the chairman remembered "Xiao Yaojin" was sung," Shen Jinbo asked excitedly.

Therefore, Chairman Mao raised his hand and clapped the board with great interest, and immediately hummed to Shen Jinbo.

Shen Jinbo listened to "Xiao Yaojin" from Chairman Mao's mouth, and he understood that it was the style sung by Mr. Wang Guifen, known as Wang Datou fifty years ago. It can be seen that Chairman Mao has long loved to be familiar with Peking Opera.

Shen Jinbo grew up in a Chinese opera school with a good cultural atmosphere, loved to study history, and loved to talk with people who had drunk ink. More than once, he told this writer about some anecdotes and observations from the Chinese art delegation to Europe.

On that occasion, Wu Han, an expert on Ming history, was one of the leaders of the delegation. On the plane to Europe, Shen Jinbo and he sat next to each other, talking about Peking Opera all the way to each other.

At that time, Wu Han said to Shen Jinbo: "There are many unreasonable places on your Peking Opera stage. For example, the emperor always likes to call himself a lone or a widow, in fact, how many people are around him, how can he be lonely and widowed? For example, if the minister wants to go to the temple to see the emperor, he will sing 'Shout at the noon gate to make my mouth dry and rotten', and shout at the noon gate, can you hear it in the golden temple? When will you go to the Forbidden City to try it. ”

During the French performance, a French journalist publicly proposed at a press conference: "After watching Peking Opera, I don't think it's true." As we all know, the beard grows on the flesh, but on the Peking Opera stage, it uses the beard, so how can the beard grow in the air? To this question, a responsible comrade of the delegation answered both skillfully and skillfully. He said: "I don't need to answer the question raised by the reporter just now. As we all know, the french art of ballet is famous all over the world and is well received by the people of all countries. If you look at the logic of the reporter just now, it is also untrue. Everyone knows that walking is done with the soles of your feet, please go to the road to see, with the tiptoe walking? ”

For this kind of quick-witted and wise person, Shen Jinbo always remembers it deeply on weekdays, and often "flips" it out with pleasure and chews it up. He also loves to chew on words and search for the root causes, and once mentioned to this author some unreasonable and historical points in the traditional repertoire of Peking Opera. For example, in "The Great Detective II", he said: "The traitor Li Liang usurped the throne, and Xu Yanzhao went to guard the imperial tomb at night. Xu Yanzhao sang in the "Huilong" of "Exploring the Emperor's Tomb" - "Kaishan Province came to me to fix the prince", which is not in line with history. Historically, Kaishan Province should have been Xu Da, not Xu Yanzhao. I interviewed Comrade Li Changchun about this matter and told him that Xu Yanzhao should be from Zhongshan Province. Later, Li Changchun performed this play and sang on the stage, "Zhongshan Province came to me to be the prince of Ding'. I asked him how the audience was reacting, and he replied that there was nothing, and I asked him to go ahead and correct it. ”

Shen Jinbo's artistic experience determines his artistic innovation spirit. He participated in the creation and performance of modern Peking Opera, which can be traced back to before the Cultural Revolution. In 1964, at the Peking Opera Modern Opera National Observation and Performance Conference held in Beijing, he co-starred in "Sending Fat" with Tong Zhi and others, and co-starred in "Battle Waves" with Ai Shiju and others.

In the spring of 1965, he was transferred from the second regiment to the first regiment at that time, and played Shao Jianbo in the "Wise Tiger Mountain" that was to be attacked as a model, and since then he has replaced the original actor Ji Yuliang.

Before determining Tong Xiang and others and when selecting Yang Zirong to play the role, Jiang Qing also said to Shen Jinbo in person: "If you can't find someone who plays Yang Zirong, you will dress up." ”

The young Jianbo he plays, whether in appearance, singing and performance, is quite competent, giving people a sense of freshness and intimacy. In particular, Shao Jianbo's singing voice has a wide range and a high pitch, such as the singing sentence "How many comrades and compatriots have been rescued" in the fourth "fixed calculation", which is not an ordinary voice that can be competent. At that time, some viewers wrote a letter to Li Chongshan, an actor with shaojianbo, asking for advice, saying how to sing this sentence, and Li Chongshan, who had excellent voice conditions, had to sigh bitterly when he held the letter: "To tell the truth, even I can't sing it." However, Shen Jinbo sang with ease.

Shen Jinbo has a deep affection for father and son, and he is also filial piety. In the late 1960s, during the filming of "Wise Tiger Mountain" in Beijing, Shen Jinbo would often accompany his father, who settled in the capital, to dinner at a restaurant during holiday breaks. People around him were envious of his father and boasted, "You have a good son!" ”

Shen Jinbo usually likes to quote the scriptures, likes to say that he is in charge, but his personality is quite cautious. He and Tong Xiangling collaborated on "Wise Tiger Mountain", which is very tacit. But Tong Xiang, who is active by nature, always jokes with him privately. "Dingji", Shao Jianbo has a line, "No matter how cunning the fox is, he can't fight a good hunter!" From time to time, Tong Xiangling jokingly changed to "No matter how cunning the fox is, he can't fight the old fox!" He couldn't help but rush, "Hey, Xiangling, don't tease, don't tease, I'm hungry, I really think so on the stage, it's bad!"

Being open-minded and eager to learn is another characteristic of Shen Jinbo. He grew up in Beijing, has a pure Beijing accent, and there is no problem with biting the word, but in the seventh scene of "Mobilizing the Masses" in "Wise Tiger Mountain", Shao Jianbo has a line "Organize the militia again.", because of the delay, he read the word "organization" in it, which sounded like "blocking", and after being pointed out to the face by Lin Ru, a senior announcer of the Central Radio and later a narrator in the Japanese TV series "Ashin", he was deeply grateful and immediately corrected.

Shen Jinbo remembers well. During the Cultural Revolution, he participated in a symposium summoned by the central leadership for playing Shao Jianbo, and afterwards he was able to accurately repeat the scene and details of the time. For example, in the late 1960s, he attended a reception at the Great Hall of the People. The next day, he said to this writer, "When I received him last night, Kang Sheng heard me call Zhang Chunqiao secretary Zhang, so he asked Zhang Chunqiao—why do they all call you Secretary Zhang?" Zhang Chunqiao explained--Before the Cultural Revolution, I was the secretary of culture and education of the Shanghai Municipal CPC Committee, and I went to the Shanghai Peking Opera House to grasp the model plays at two ends of the three days, and everyone called me Secretary Zhang. Kang Sheng immediately said to Zhang Chunqiao--Do you know what a secretary is? The secretary is the dog-headed military division in the feudal yamen in history. "It's hilarious.

After 1976, the staff of the Shanghai Peking Opera House was redeployed, and Shen Jinbo's role was significantly reduced, for which he sighed bitterly: "As an actor, how can you not act?" Therefore, he took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the Shanghai Opera School as a professor of art until his retirement. Soon after, he was diagnosed with cancer. During his operation, the author went to visit, and his wife asked behind his back, "Did Lao Bo drink alcohol during the 'Weihu Mountain' crew?"

When she got the exact answer that she didn't drink, she wondered: "How to do it, these old Shen always drink heavily, a bottle of white dry every day, I persuade him, he still argues with me." ”

"He must be in a bad mood and relieve his boredom with wine." The author responded with a sigh of relief.
