"Celebrating More Than Years" was a big hit released at the end of 2019. It not only changed the decline of male channel IP adaptations, but also revived the confidence of male channel IP adaptations. More importantly... it gave us a glimpse of the chicken-legged girl who has been around for thousands of years.
!
Li Qin was born in Bacheng Town, Kunshan City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province in 1990, which is the birthplace of Kun Opera, known as the "ancestor of all operas".
Almost all the old people here can sing one or two lines. Li Qin, who grew up in this land since childhood, developed a strong interest in Kunqu Opera. As a result, he will work hard and show off his talents in the future.
Not surprising.
When he was 11 years old, Li Qin, who was in elementary school, learned that the school was going to launch an opera class. He returned home and talked about it with his parents as soon as school was over.
The parents also grew up in Bacheng Town, so of course they are very willing to do so, but educating their children is both a stick and a sweet date.
So Li's mother looked at Li Qin who was begging for help, held back the joy in her heart, and said seriously: "It's okay to practice, but you can't delay your studies. Once your grades fluctuate, you have to stop immediately."
Naturally, the young Li Qin could not see these twists and turns, and looked serious, "I will definitely not delay my studies," she said.
With this "three-chapter agreement", Li Qin finally took the first step to practice opera. That year, at the age of 11, Li Qin joined the opera interest class run by Shipai Central Primary School in Bacheng Town to receive training in basic opera skills.
Two years later, Li Qin, who was only 13 years old, participated in the performance of the "Suwai Night" opera special party, and she was not there to make soy sauce. She successively played the role of A Qing's wife in the Xi Opera "Shajiabang" and the Yue Opera.
She played the role of Zhu Yingtai in "Butterfly Lovers" and Du Liniang in the Kunqu Opera "The Peony Pavilion", and won the Golden Flower Award at the 7th China Children's Opera Little Plum Blossom Competition for "The Peony Pavilion"
.
Li Qin's parents were filled with joy when they saw their daughter studying hard and rising to prominence step by step.
As people who grew up in the birthplace of Kun Opera, Li Qin's parents naturally have feelings and persistence for Kun Opera. However, it is one thing to like it in their hearts. It is another thing for their daughter to have outstanding talents and be praised by others.
Since then, Li Qin's parents have paid more and more attention to their daughter's education and began to find a way out for her.
Li Qin is naturally worthy of the painstaking cultivation of his parents. This is a person who was born to perform. The following year, 14-year-old Li Qin was admitted to the Opera School Affiliated to Shanghai Theater Academy.
Li Qin's family is an ordinary working-class family. If his mother gave up her job and came to study with her, plus the cost of living in Shanghai, even if she could cope with it, it would probably be a struggle.
Li Qin, who was only 14 years old, understood this and refused to accompany his mother to study. He went to Shanghai alone and began his study life.
While in school, Li Qin had the pressure of family burdens, but also had a love and dedication to Kunqu Opera. She studied hard every day and was appreciated by the teachers.
Finally, with her excellent appearance, outstanding singing skills and acting talent, she quickly stood out and entered the vision of Cai Zhengren, the then president of Shanghai Kun Opera Academy, and became the fifth generation "Du Liniang" of Shanghai Kun Opera Academy, as well as "Kun Opera"
The inheritor of Gui Men Dan."
At this point, Li Qin has truly entered the country's vision on the road to inheriting the traditional art of Kun Opera, and he has a promising future.
If you continue like this and become the inheritor of the Chinese quintessence, your life will not be called mediocre.
But Li Qin's stage life is just a foreshadowing of Li Qin's future acting career.
Time came to 2008. Director Li Shaohong began to prepare for the new version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". All other roles were ready, but the actor Xue Baochai needed to be able to sing Kun Opera. In today's era, a child who can sing Kun Opera is very rare, and all of them are in specialized schools.
It's not easy to bring it out in school.
But director Li Shaohong still found a way to find the Shanghai Theater Academy to look for talents.
Director Li Shaohong, who went to the Shanghai Theater Academy to look for talents, fell in love with Li Qin at first glance, "Child, do you want to act?" For this sudden opportunity, teenage Li Qin was nervous and was not very willing at first, but after all
In her youth, her young and restless heart encouraged her to make new attempts, "I am willing to give it a try." Director Li Shaohong was ecstatic after receiving a positive answer, and immediately communicated with Li Qin's school and family, but he ended up in a mess.
The result of hitting a wall.
Li Qin's family has invested energy in this matter for several years, and hopes that Li Qin can continue to be the inheritor of Kun Opera. Li Qin's father even held a family meeting.
The school regarded Li Qin as a future mainstay and invested a lot of time and resources.
But Director Li Shaohong can travel all over the country to find Kun Opera talents for "Xue Baochai", so how can he be convinced by this resistance?
It should be noted that the key question whether it will succeed in the end is whether Li Qin himself is willing to do it. Now that Li Qin has the idea of ????playing Xue Baochai, the rest of the questions can be easily answered.
