The actor who plays Liu Hulan in the play is Li Min, a 33 -year -old actor who has gone out of Xi'an. On the eve of the performance, Li Min was interviewed by the Cultural and Art Daily to share with you the puzzlement of her and Qin Qiang.

From Qinqiang children's star to the transformation of professional actors

When she first saw Li Min, she smiled at her face at all times, giving a feeling of a big sister next door, generous but gentle and easy.

Li Min told reporters that she should be the youngest among the children in Shaanxi TV. At that time, about 3 and a half years old, Xiao Li Min participated in the Qin's voice column of Shaanxi TV Station. She also remembered the situation where Chen Aimei was held in her arms and sang Qin cavity. And all of this stems from Grandpa's love and influence on Qin cavity.

Li Min was born in an ordinary family in Weinan. Grandpa especially loves Qin Qiang. When Grandpa listened to the show at home, it was a whole day. Over time, Li Min slowly started to learn to sing. "At that time, I basically rely on listening to famous tapes. I kept listening over and over again, and slowly learned." Li Min said, grandparents accompanied her across the country to participate, occupying most of her childhood memories of memories of her childhood Essence

At the age of 6, Li Min began to participate in the National Plum Blossom Competition, and he participated almost every year. Finally, at the age of nine, he won the most unforgettable "Little Plum Blossom" gold medal in life, indicating that a star of tomorrow in the Qinqiang world is rising.

Later, her mother said that her daughter couldn't sing such a meter meter, and wanted to send her to a professional school to learn the drama in an all -round way. In 1999, Li Min, who was only 10 years old, applied for the Shaanxi Provincial Art School (hereinafter referred to as "Provincial Art School"), but was declined by the teacher because he was too young. In the second year, Li Min went to the provincial art school again. Perhaps there is a fate with Xinjiang in the midst of the United States. The major of the opera only recruited one Xinjiang class (directional commissioner). She was successfully admitted, and 35 students became the successor of the Qinqiang of Xinjiang together.

When she first entered the provincial art school, although Li Min was a bit found in the aria, practice was a whiteboard for her. Because the young legs were soft, the tiger jump was always slow, which caused the legs to be purple and purple, and there was almost no normal. The teacher's requirements for everyone are very strict. When the students practice the legs, they can often hear crying. "We have to practice 4 hours in the morning and 2 hours of legs and 2 hours of blankets. At that time, what I was most afraid of was every day. Sometimes I really ca n’t hold on my exercises and they will be lazy. "Li Min remembered the period of time, and it regretted it, saying that if he could come back once, he must practice the basic skills solidly.

When in school, the teachers also cared about this child who loved opera, such as Li Ruifang, Ma Lanyu, and Mr. Zhang Yonghua, and Li Min had arranged for Li Min.

Thank you Xinjiang for showing me your platform

As soon as the art school's 5 -year learning career ended, Li Min went directly to Xinjiang and assigned to work in the Qin opera group of Urumqi. The Qin Opera Troupe is located in the center of Urumqi. It is one of the earliest drama troupes in Xinjiang. Since its birth, it has been attracted to and supported all sectors of society, and the masses have also had deep feelings for the Qin opera group.

Li Min said that once the performance of the countryside impressed her, there was a village with all ethnic minorities in Mai Gati County, South Xinjiang. People would not speak Chinese, but they would almost sing Qinqiang. "Isn't it strange? Because this village party secretary is from Gansu, he loves to listen to Qinqiang, and uses the village broadcast to play Qinqiang every day. After a long time, the villagers will roar a few words."

After arriving in Xinjiang, Li's sensitive touch was the sincerity of Xinjiang people and the audience's love for actors. She told reporters that the same is the same as the fans of the drama. The difference between Xinjiang fans and Shaanxi fans is still very large. Xinjiang audiences like Qin Qiang, and they will worship the actors. They will treat actors as relatives in their lives. The audience in Shaanxi is more about listening to the dramas that they are interested in, and the audience also has more selectivity of the show and the name. In Xinjiang, Qin Qiang is more nostalgic and nostalgic for the audience.

"When we first went to Xinjiang 17 years ago, we watched a group of old ladies and old ladies. 17 years later, the show was a new group of old ladies. Slowly get more. "This makes Li's sensitive.

Play Li Tiemei in "Red Lantern"

In recent years, Xinjiang has established a platform for Li Min and gave her a lot of opportunities. In 2015, the "Red Lantern" in the group was broadcast live at the CCTV Air Theater. At that time, the 70th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti -Fascist War, only the drama of Xinjiang in the five northwestern provinces was on the CCTV stage. Because of the preciousness of this opportunity, there was something that made Li Min's meaning, "at that time, after CCTV, I also left me a lot of regrets. Because I had just given birth to a child at that time, the body did not fully recover, and people were particularly fat. So many audiences have reported that "this Tiemei is too fat '. Since then, I have strengthened their beliefs: as long as you stand on the stage, you must strictly control your body shape."

In "Turtle Mountain" as Hu Fenglian

In 2017, the first exhibition of the excellent drama of the Qinqin Qin cavity was held in Xi'an. The Urumqi Qin Opera Troupe brought the traditional drama "Turtle Mountain" and Li Min plays Hu Fenglian. At that time, some people questioned at the Easy Cul about Grand Theater. Li Min said with a smile: "This time I still have a lot of money in" Turtle Mountain ". Because in the Shaanxi Provincial Art School, Mr. Zhang Yonghua ranked me twice in" Boat "and" Second Hall of Delivery Cup ". After nearly a year, I am already familiar with it. This performance is still relatively successful. The most important thing is that I also lost back at the time. Li Min also won the appreciation of many predecessors in the industry: "This baby has good conditions. If it is developed in Xi'an, it must be a good seedling." Li Min thought at the time: "I can stand on the stage again and again to show myself. I want to thank Xinjiang, thank the Qin Opera Troupe, Xinjiang has trained me. Xinjiang gave me a chance. I must make my own contribution to the Qin cavity cause of Xinjiang. "

Since then, Li Min has been firmly pursuing Qin Qiang's art and has to go higher. Therefore, she thought of worship.

Worshiping the arts vowed to carry forward the Qin cavity culture

Li Mei, known as the "Qinqiang Yizhi Mei", has twice won the Chinese Drama "Plum Blossom Award" and "Mandarin Performance Award". It has won the Shanghai Drama "White Magnolia Protagonist Award" three times. During the interview, Li Min did not hesitate to express her love and respect for the teacher to the reporter.

In 2021, Li Mei performed in Xi'an from the 40th anniversary of Yi. Li Min was fortunate to be accepted as an apprentice. She said, "Before receiving the apprentice, because everyone was in the opera industry, she expressed the idea of ​​learning to learn art several times because of the same as the opera world. Later, she also sent some performances and singing information to the teacher. Yes, especially the aria. But the teacher also taught me that singing can not only rely on technology, and the relationship is equally important. "Li Mei has no regional limitations for the apprentice. Help.

Although there is not much time to learn with the teacher, the teacher's encouragement and affirmation have strengthened Li Min's love and attachment to Qin Qiang.

Stills of "Red Lantern"

Li Min recalled that in 2021, the excellent drama of the Qinqiang will be held in Xi'an. At that time, her performance the repertoire was "Dou Ejin · Dream". For shame. But she thought in her mind that I had a chance to board the big stage once, and she must not waste it. At that time, I did not dare to tell Teacher Li Mei what kind of performance it was. As a result, the teacher came to watch the show that night. Later, the performance was very good, and he was praised by the teacher.

Maybe the professional skills of our frontier actors are not the best, but we can represent the stage of the Qinqiang base camp on behalf of Xinjiang, which is extremely excited and proud. "

Back to my maid's house is not the competition, it is to report the performance

From the first Qinqiang Art Festival in China in 2000, it has been held for nine sessions this year. The Qin opera group of Urumqi has participated almost every time. Previously, the old artists in the group participated as the main force. With the retreat of the old artists in recent years On the second line, a number of young and middle -aged actors such as Li Min became the mainstay of the group.

Plays Liu Hulan in "Red Plum under the Sword"

This time, participating in the Ninth China Qinqiang Art Festival, Li Min took the "Red Plum under the Sword" back to her mother's house. She bluntly said: "I did not take this as a event, and more as a report performance. For the people, cultivating my team, and audiences who love Qinqiang art, this is an opportunity to appear on the big stage to show myself. "

It is reported that the Qinqiang modern drama "Red Plum under the Sword" of the Qinqin Troupe of Urumqi was transplanted in Yu opera. As a century -old gift drama celebrating the party's century, it was launched and premiered in 2021.

At the time of this drama, the group specially invited Teacher Wu Genbang, a professional director of opera from the Shaanxi Opera Research Institute, stayed in Xinjiang for more than 3 months. A lot of effort. At that time, in the rehearsal field, Wu Dao personally entered the battle to demonstrate, penetrate, influence, and guidance of the actors, so that the actors can understand the characters more deeply.

At first Li Min was very confident in starring in the corner of Liu Hulan, because Li Tiemei, who had played "Red Lantern", felt that these two images were young revolutionary heroes, but Wu Dao completely changed her thoughts after sitting up. Let Li Min re -understand Liu Hulan, who is different in the book and in the movie. Liu Hulan experienced the death of his loved ones, villagers' rebellion, etc., and happened in the various changes in her surroundings. The personality was very stubborn. The identified things must be done from the beginning to the end, which also created her unswervingly on the road of revolution. Playing Liu Hulan, Li Min's biggest feeling is: "You must persist in doing everything, and the same is true for singing.

Gao Kai (right), the actor of Grandma Liu Hulan in "The Red Plum under the Sword", share her acting experience

There is also Gao Kai, the actor of Grandma Liu Hulan in the play. She believes that the play also improves herself a lot and improves a lot. "Sometimes we need a play to hone ourselves. The traditional drama of the programming performance is used to the active performance. Let the tears be easily left. In addition to the improvement of the performance, I also have a deeper understanding of the revolutionary characters in the book, and it has strengthened her communist belief. "Before the interview, Li Min sincerely lamented that he since he was a child, he since he was a child, and since he was a child, he since he was a child. He since he was a child, he since he was a child. In his bones, he loves Qin Qiang, and sincerely hopes that Qin Qiang can have a long -term vitality and never fail. However, how to better inherit and develop Qinqiang in the frontier area is the first problem is talent introduction. In recent years, the Qin Opera Troupe of Urumqi and the Qin Opera Troupe of Xinjiang Autonomous Region are a set of people. Two brands. The old artists in the regiment have basically retired. Now they need fresh blood. If there is no newcomer to the team, it may be difficult to play a play a few years later. Li Min said that it is hoped that projects such as "Cultural Run" and "Cultural Aid" and other projects are hoped that projects such as "Cultural Runjiang" and "Cultural Aid Xinjiang" have accelerated their implementation, so that Qinqiang artists in Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places have an opportunity to communicate and learn. The Qinqiang art brought to the frontiers, so that the actors in the frontiers had the opportunity to charges and learn from the Mainland. Finally, I hope that through the media appeal, vigorously publicize, let a group of young people who love the art of Qinqiang devoted themselves to this career, and allowed the Qin cavity cause to continue to open up territory in the borderland, and from generation to generation.
