1979, Bai adapted Shuang Suoshan and found a new way to perform Longjiang Opera. Shuang Suoshan, known as the basic repertoire of Longjiang Opera, has a special position in the construction of Longjiang Opera. This is a crucial step in Bai's acting career. 198 1, starring the royal family and Shuang Suoshan, also performed in Beijing. At the second China Theatre Festival, two plays starring Bai appeared on the Beijing stage at the same time. The two-handed calligraphy in Baoyu of the Absurd and the two-handed calligraphy in Shuang Suoshan amazed the audience. After the Second China Drama Festival, Bai became a dazzling star. At the 199 1 Spring Festival party, CCTV presented white two-handed calligraphy skills to thousands of families through the screen. Soon, at Bai's suggestion, Longjiang Opera made an expedition to the southeast by caravan and performed in famous cultural cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Nanjing. Later, he turned to the northwest and played in Lanzhou, Xi 'an and other ancient cities. For a time, the "white whirlwind" blown by black land was rolled up everywhere in the north and south of the great river, inside and outside the Great Wall. 199 1 autumn, Bai brought four dramas to Hong Kong, which was a sensation. 1in the spring of 993, she went to Malaysia to perform with CCTV Star Art Troupe, which received rave reviews. 1In the spring of 994, she led The Legend of Mulan and Absurd Baoyu to participate in the plum blossom art festival in Singapore Lion City, which caused a sensation. 1994, The Legend of Mulan, starring her, won the 5th National Wenhua Award and four individual awards again, and won the first place in the 2nd National Wenhua Award and the 12th Drama Plum Blossom Award. Scored twice to reproduce the charm.
Bai not only became an award-winning professional household, but also was rated as an outstanding model worker in party member, a provincial special model worker, a March 8th red flag bearer, an advanced worker in the national cultural system, and a young and middle-aged expert with outstanding contributions.
Various honors and titles woven a particularly dazzling wreath for her. Being famous will naturally attract the attention of all walks of life. But white is still white. She is still busy with her own art. Although she can't avoid some necessary social activities, whenever she leads a meeting or awards ceremony, she always tries to "cat" to an inconspicuous corner so as not to show off. However, if foreign businessmen or enterprises promise to pay a high salary to pull her into celebrity effect, she will politely refuse. Bai is indeed a traditional oriental woman. Although she lives in the art circle, she has always been very square. She doesn't like social activities and seldom goes to public places. Any social or social occasion, in her view, is a living suffering.
1At the beginning of 993, the theater created a new play "The Legend of Mulan". Known as the "impressive song of life", it was staged at Beijing People's Theatre. Several ministers of the Ministry of Culture were very excited when they came on stage to meet the actors. They praised the Longjiang Opera "The Legend of Mulan" as "an excellent work with the unity of ideology, artistry and appreciation" and called on the national theatrical troupe to seriously study the "Longjiang Opera Phenomenon". Since 1993, Bai is not only an actress, but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of taking charge of the whole theater. She implemented a series of reform programs and soon put theater management into a strict and scientific track. When the author interviewed her again, she made it very clear: "I put forward a goal to build Longjiang Theatre into a high-quality, high-level and high-grade art palace. I have three words for hospital management, that is,' the leadership is affectionate, the system is ruthless, and the management is ruthless'; The requirement for comrades in the hospital is 16, that is,' selfless dedication, persistent pursuit, everyone's demeanor, striving for first-class'. "
Not only can you talk, but you will really do it in vain. In order to save money, we didn't rent the best machine to shoot the legend of Mulan, so we were returned by the Ministry of Culture for remake. The team was collectively punished for its mistakes. She herself was punished by 500 yuan and informed criticism. Such an aggressive "iron lady", who dares to underestimate her in the whole hospital? The courtyard soon became uniform and forbidden to use, almost like a military camp.
Since 1995, director Bai of Longjiang Theatre has been devoted to the development strategy of Longjiang Opera. Some experts summarized the basic work of Longjiang Opera in this period as "123 Project" and defined the years after 1995 as the "strategic development stage" of Longjiang Opera.
A project-theater development project
Longjiang Opera has been established for 40 years, and there has never been a theater. The office building is also old and simple. From the day he became the dean, Bai made a great wish: he must give Longjiang Opera a decent "home"? But the salary of the theater is hard to guarantee. Isn't it crazy to spend tens of millions to build a building? Bai is stubborn again, and her life creed of "seeing the valley and bridging the bridge" also gives her solid psychological support: when others see the valley, they think of the abyss; When I saw this valley, my first thought was to build a bridge and cross it.
Poor Bai, a famous artist, embarked on a marathon negotiation road. In the past five years, I have talked about dozens of developers. I don't blame anyone else. If you don't pay a penny, you can't take the 1000 square meter of land facing the street. If you want to get the 6,000 square meters modern high-end theater office complex facing the street, it is obviously a loss-making business, and it is stupid!
These days, Bai's name can no longer be seen in the media. She kept a low profile. The huge gap between elegant art and economic embarrassment makes the pure and innocent artist suffer from purgatory. She is considerate and reasonable. She puts herself in the position of the market and must find a win-win combination.
The clever one used his head in vain. She promised: with her celebrity effect and her intangible assets, she would lobby the relocated households in the surrounding areas for developers, run the early stage, run the project planning approval, stamp dozens of chapters and strive for preferential policies. ...
In 2000, Longjiang Theater, which had been rented for four years, moved back to the newly-built 6,000-square-meter theater office comprehensive art building in a prime location in Harbin. It can be said that the comprehensive conditions such as office, rehearsal and performance of Longjiang Theatre in Heilongjiang Province are absolutely superior among the national theatrical troupes. The main project country and the theater did not invest a penny, and the fixed assets of the theater increased by nearly 30 million yuan! ?
With her "market-oriented operation", Bai laid the foundation of Longjiang Opera for a hundred years and achieved the dreams of several generations of Longjiang Opera people.
Two Strategies-Talent Strategy and Excellence Strategy
1993, as soon as Bai Yi became the dean, he persuaded the director of the Provincial Department of Culture to recruit the Longjiang Opera Troupe of 58 people through the Provincial Art School. By 1997, students had entered the theater for internship, just as the theater development project started, and the developer temporarily rented a very simple office space for the theater. There is no place for students to practice and no stage for rehearsal. As a dean, Bai is really angry. At this moment, the director of the Provincial Department of Culture transferred Bai to take over the hotel that could hardly afford the rent of the Department of Culture at that time. After careful investigation and demonstration, a hotel with great forest cultural creativity, which integrates catering culture and elegant art, has been opened, just like the "second stage" of Longjiang Opera. White became the chairman. Decorate, take pictures ... beg for help from all directions. As for what pattern wallpaper and color curtain cloth to buy, Chairman Bai, who is full of artistic and aesthetic vision, should do it himself. Busy for more than two months, the opening of "Big Forest" was extremely hot, but the exhausted chairman Bai was admitted to the hospital.
"Big Forest" has become a landscape in Harbin. In the past four years, the performance team of "Big Forest" has compiled and performed more than 300 programs and performed more than 3,000 performances. Students have been fully exercised in the "big forest" and created a group of "larks". From 65438 to 0998, Longjiang Opera began to rehearse its new work Liang Hongyu. Liang Hongyu, the heroine who beat drums to resist the golden army, has long been included in the heroine series created by Bai. At that time, it was said that anyone who won the Plum Blossom Award three times was the "Lifetime Plum Blossom Award". In the eyes of many experts, Bai, who is in the mature stage of art, is one of the artists who have considerable strength and competitive advantage to sprint for the "Lifetime Plum Blossom Award". The screenwriter wrote the script for her and the director directed it for her. In this regard, Bai's mind is really tangled. Stage is an actor's second life. Obsessed with art, she regards Longjiang Opera as more than her own life. If she plays Liang Hongyu and wins "Sanmei", it may be much easier than when she leads Longjiang Opera. However, she finally gave Liang Hongyu's leadership task to her student Li Xuefei. Because she weighed it again and again, she won no prize as high as the successor echelon launched by Longjiang drama. Longjiang Opera is a new kind of opera. We must support new people in the prime of life and pass the torch of Longjiang Opera to the next stick as soon as possible. ...
On the first day of "Liang Hongyu", Bai watched the youth lineup of Longjiang Opera with an average age of only 23. Her expression is calm, her eyes are kind and holy, and she is pleased with the appearance of new people in Longjiang Opera.
Liang Hongyu participated in the performance of the literary evening in Beijing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of New China, the 6th Chinese Art Festival in Nanjing and the 2nd Shanghai International Art Festival, which was well received and won the national "Five One Projects" Longjiang Opera Award for the third time. Li Xuefei won the "Magnolia Award". Bai's talent strategy and boutique strategy have achieved fruitful results. In 2000, under her planning and presiding, the "Longjiang Opera Development Project Plan" was highly valued by provincial leaders. The "three major measures" to develop Longjiang Opera-the establishment of Longjiang Opera Art Education Base, the establishment of Longjiang Opera Development Consortium, and the preparation of Longjiang Opera Little Snowflake Art Troupe are placed in an important position in Heilongjiang Province to implement the "Theory of Three Represents" and build a frontier cultural province. Building Longjiang Opera into a brand, as the leader of developing Longjiang local art, has become the knowledge of far-sighted leaders and artists. Bai shouldered the banner of singing Longjiang opera, creating famous brands and expanding the new world of Longjiang advanced culture.
Still "market-oriented operation", the theater didn't spend a penny. Bai founded Longjiang Opera Art Education Base in 2000 with his intangible assets. Heilongjiang Institute of Foreign Affairs and Tourism invested a huge sum of money to build a spacious and bright 5,000-square-meter base art building integrating collective rehearsal, teaching, office and accommodation. More than 100 students enrolled in the two phases received strict and comprehensive art education here. Many students have taken Longjiang Opera to Beijing and Shanghai to participate in large-scale performances. The students in the base have become the beautiful scenery of the province's Spring Festival Evening and large-scale cultural activities hosted by Longjiang Opera. These days, the children's "Little Plum Blossom Award" selection activity in the whole province is in full swing. The students in the base have won two gold medals, two silver medals and three supporting roles. It's really a scene. Whenever Bai comes to the base, the children affectionately call her "Grandma Bai". In the eyes of children, Grandma Bai is an example, an example of being an artist and an example of being a man. Children are lucky to have such a "white grandmother" as a teacher. With such a high starting point, are they still worried about development?
Longjiang Opera Development Consortium absorbed five branches of Longjiang Opera in the first batch. Bai is the chairman of the consortium. At this point, Longjiang Opera, which has been "a group of the world" for many years, has ended the situation of fighting alone, and Longjiang Opera has entered the fast lane of popularization and development.
Bai, who is over 500 years old, seems to be getting younger and younger, with a smile on her face. I can see that she is in a good mood. Yes, I have worked hard for the development of Longjiang Opera for most of my life. Now, her blueprint for the development of Longjiang Opera is being put into practice step by step. Longjiang opera is full of hardships, but after all, hope lies ahead and light lies ahead.
Bai had to go on. Her steps seem to be bigger, steadier and more solid.
