Early experience
He should be the one who plays the most among other young actors, such as You Gengniang (decorated with gold), Chunjiang Mingyue (decorated), Linjiang Post (decorated), Xigui (decorated), Butterfly Cup (decorated) and Bagua Map (decorated with Han Jue). Later, The Promise of Life (San Mao), Queen Bigfoot (Pan Junchen), Sun An's Moving Book (Wan Li), Jin Wengong (Gu Yan), Golden Branch (Ai Guo), Gold (Jiao Da Star), including (Min) are not very good at their own art promotion and operation. "Happy-go-lucky" obviously influenced his popularity in the social and traditional Chinese opera circles, including me. Until the evening of May 2, 2005, he saw Du Yufeng's "Gold" performance in the provincial performing arts center.
Fortunately, Du Yufeng is still very popular in Shanxi rural opera market, including Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Hebei and other areas where Shanxi opera is popular. A netizen once wrote a regretful message on my blog: I am an Inner Mongolia opera fan and have many Du Yufeng's discs. I think his singing skills and works are quite excellent, but it is really puzzling that such an excellent actor has not won any awards.
In fact, awards are mostly good things, but without awards, talents cannot be buried. Du Yufeng has accumulated decades of skill and performed so many plays that he has become a popular actor in Shanxi Opera, especially the stage figure he plays. Not all actors can act well. This alone is enough to establish Du Yufeng's unique artistic position.
Du Yufeng 1984 graduated from Shanxi Opera School and was assigned to the Youth League Committee of Shanxi Theatre in the same year. Over the past 20 years, Du Yufeng has made many films, such as the newly edited historical dramas "Two Fists" (Ai Guo), "Fu Guitu" (Ni Jun) and "Xi Rong Gui" (Zhao Tingyu). However, because he was often assigned as a group B actor in previous performances, such talented male students invisibly affected his popularity among the audience.
Playing golden branches, also known as full beds, is simply recorded in historical books such as Sui and Tang Dynasties. It tells the story of "Tang Daizong, when Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang, celebrated his birthday, seven sons and eight husbands all went to offer birthday greetings, but Princess Shengping, the third daughter-in-law, refused to go. Before Guo Nuan's banquet, she was teased by her brothers, and the princess went back to the palace to yell at her parents, so Guo Ziyi tied her son to the temple and pleaded guilty. Bearing in mind the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects, she pardoned Guo Nuan and promoted him to a knighthood. After Shen, the couple made up. "The role of Ai Guo has been played by three generations of actors such as Guo Fengying, Wang Baochai and Zhang Zhi, and it is difficult for ordinary actors to break through.
So, what are the highlights of Du Yufeng's Golden Branch tonight?
First, in good condition.
Evaluating the talent of an actor, especially the talent of a traditional Chinese opera actor, may include singing, reading and acting. In the opinion of experts, what the audience wants to see is whether the actor's performance is good or not, that is to say, if the performance is not good, the best performance can only be a "performance" attached to the stage. Ai Guo, played by Du Yufeng, is particularly prominent in this respect. For example, in the opening scene of "Celebrating Birthday", Ai Guo wore a red robe and a jade belt, and his face was full of smiles. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he gave people a bright feeling. At this time, the audience can only directly appreciate the Wang family in Fenyang, especially Ai Guo's prominent position in the dynasty and special relationship with the royal family through Ai Guo's dress and expression, which makes people forget Du Yufeng himself and see a man who gallops on the battlefield, defends the country and expands the territory. The speed at which it entered the play was amazing.
Second, the performance is in good condition.
With the beginning of "Celebration of Birthday", when the brothers and sisters-in-law appeared in pairs to salute each other, Ai Guo stepped forward several times, but could not wait for the promotion of the princess. The original "jubilation" immediately turned into "expectation", "anxiety" and "helplessness", and even the "shyness" and "anger" mocked by the seventh brother were handled very appropriately by Du Yufeng. If its body leans forward slightly and its neck is elongated, it means there is hope; Also, if his hands are slightly folded and he is pacing back and forth, he depicts anxiety. In "Golden Temple", Du Yufeng still uses the same technique according to the needs of the plot, saying nothing, relying only on expressions, that is, accurately conveying the psychological change process of Ai Guo from "grievance", "dissatisfaction" to "release" and from "observation" to "peace of mind" to the audience, not only
Third, the cavity is intact.
After Mr. Wang Baochai faded out of the stage, the audience had not heard such pure and full pronunciation and accent for a long time, but the night was full of Ai Guo played by Du Yufeng. Throughout the performance, Du Yufeng always maintained the charm and characteristics of traditional and authentic singing, and responded to the old sayings such as "singing as you say", "a good actor doesn't need to pull the curtain", "speak accurately and sing accurately" and "being an actor must not be plain". What is particularly worthy of recognition is that Du Yufeng, when dealing with the dialogue and duet between Ai Guo and Princess Shengping in Gong Dou and Ai Guo and his father Guo Ziyi in Golden Palace, did not simply speak for the sake of singing, but pronounced and performed according to feelings, paying great attention to the venting of characters' emotions and the shaping of their personalities, leaving the audience with deep feelings, anger and resentment, moderate relaxation and flawless singing.
Generally speaking, Du Yufeng's performing arts have gone far beyond his social impression, and he is indeed a rare opera talent. We sincerely hope that Du Yufeng can improvise and create several interesting, classic, vivid and interesting opera figures for the prosperity of Jin opera art and the satisfaction of the audience.
Performance experience
First live performance
The first time I saw Du Yufeng's live performance was during May 1, 2005. The Provincial Golden Theater presented the transplanted Sichuan opera "Golden" to the audience at the Provincial Performing Arts Center. On that day, a colleague from the college team and I followed it. The play was well performed. Du Yufeng plays the star, old partner Chen Hong plays the leading actor Hua Jin, Jin Xiaoyi plays Qiu Hu, Li Heping plays Jiao Mu, Wang Yi plays the white fool, and Ma plays Chang Wu. There are only six actors on the stage, but it is very dramatic. I felt quite shocked after reading it.
Sichuan opera "Gold" is adapted from the drama "Yuan Ye". When Shanxi Opera was transplanted from Sichuan Opera, it was processed according to local cultural customs and the characteristics of Shanxi Opera. Jiao Da, the son of Jiao Yan, did not appear. After his ex-wife was flogged to death by Jiao Yan, she followed her mother's orders and married Hua Hong back. On the one hand, Chinese workers have to wait on Jiao's mother and take care of the little spots left by his ex-wife. On the other hand, she is often abused and cursed by her blind mother-in-law, and even insulted by "frisking". But there is no normal love between men and women with Jiao Daxing, a timid husband.
I admire Du Yufeng's talent very much. In fact, it was only after watching "Gold" that night that I started. Strictly speaking, several roles in "Gold" are not easy to play, but the role of Jiao Da Star is especially difficult to play. For example, when he showed the wedding scene in the overture, he didn't rush to lift the veil and hold his wife like ordinary people, but shouted the word "mother" in the opposite direction, as if showing a helplessness to the wedding; For example, after marriage, according to the blind mother-in-law and his behavior, he also knows how to like his wife, such as often buying some clothes and jewelry for his wife, or leaving some private money for his wife behind his mother's back, including his mother letting him beat his wife, and he himself became beaten. For another example, when he learned that his wife was going to elope with his friend Qiu Hu, in order to keep his wife, he would say: I will do anything as long as you don't leave! And said: I can turn a blind eye; For another example, I know that love and hate can't be reconciled, so I have to say "Tiger Brother!" "I want to discuss something with you. Sit down! " "If you want to go, you can't go with gold!" "Please, leave the gold!" Do you think there is no self-role in this complete distortion? Du Yufeng, however, performed accurately and vividly, and was so real, natural and compassionate.
The second live performance
The second time I saw Du Yufeng's live performance was at the end of 2007, when the 1 1 apricot blossom award performance was being held. In order to help a young actor known as Taiyuan Experimental Jin Theatre (Houshen) participate in the performance, the Provincial Jin Theatre went to Shanghai to perform the original cast of "Playing the Golden Branch", such as Chen Hong (as Princess Shengping), (as) and Yang (as ornaments).
Playing the Golden Branch is a housekeeping drama of Jin Opera, which is not only a household name, but also has a great influence on the audience. In addition, Jin opera actors usually perform the play according to their own majors to show their artistic strength. I have seen many actors' performances by Ai Guo, such as Guo Fengying, Wang Baochai, Guo Caiping, Wang Shunlan and Zhang Zhihe Zheng Qiang, but this is the first time to see Du Yufeng's performance. Because when watching Du Yufeng's live performance in 2005, "Gold" was a modern play, which was wonderful, but it certainly could not fully reflect all Du Yufeng's art. To my surprise, Du Yufeng was so powerful in this night's "Playing the Golden Branch". In order to express my appreciation of Du Yufeng's performing arts, I also wrote an essay "Look at Ai Guo in the Golden Branch-A Sketch of Du Yufeng, a little actor of Shaanxi Opera", and commented on his performance, performance and highlights. In my opinion, such a true, bright, strong and sweet voice of Jin opera is rarely heard among actors of the same age.
Later, because I was not too busy at work, I went to the theater more often. As long as friends get together or there is a new play, I will happily sit in the theater and enjoy it. In this way, if you can't stop, you will meet Du Yufeng, a famous rising star of Shanxi Opera, who also came to the theater to watch the drama. Through the contact with some actors, many actors will be very stylish when they are on stage, but they will often be silent under the stage. Du Yufeng also belongs to this type of actor. If I use my life to describe Du Yufeng, it should be 24 words: "strive for perfection, work hard, be modest and prudent, be friendly and self-respecting, strive for success and be happy with it."
