"Sichuan Province Zhichuan Drama" today is to share with you a "generation corner" unique to the Sichuan opera performance art.

The angle refers to the role of a role that is entangled with the characters in the play by one character. It is mainly used to reveal the hidden inner conflict of the character and strengthen the comedy or ironic of the drama. In the reorganization of the traditional Sichuan opera traditional curtain drama "Burning incense" after the founding of the New China, the use of the "Corner" is very outstanding. In the play, the actor who plays Jiao Guiying acts acting as a girl Gui Xiang, and then the actor who plays Gui Xiang is behaved on behalf of the actor. Jiao Guiying in Wang Kui's hallucinations, this expression, shows Wang Kui's psychological state of "suspicious ghosts and dazzling people".

"Burning incense" is derived from the "Wang Kui" in the South Opera. It tells the story of "Living King Kui" that people is well known: Poor scholar Wang Kui fell on the street and was rescued by prostitutes Jiao Guiying. Soon, Wang Kui went to Beijing to take the exam. Before he was leaving, he went to the Temple of Hai God with Jiao Guiying, and vowed to grow old and never give up. Unexpectedly, after Wang Kui's champion, he abandoned Jiao Guiying for the ensertation. Jiao Guiying was sad and indignant. He came to the Temple of Hai God, where the two had vowed, and died of anger after fighting the sea god. Later, her ghost caught Wang Kui to the yin in order to revenge. "Burning incense" is a well -known reserved repertoire in Sichuan opera. There are many performances, and the plots are similar. In the 1950s, the famous drama activist Xi Mingzhen and Sichuan opera writer Li Mingzhang adapted the "Burning incense". They changed the plot of Wang Kui in the traditional drama to death to Wang Kui died of schizophrenia. According to the needs of this plot, there are two expressions in the "Burning incense".

The first is "Entry". After the high school, Wang Kui was weighing and repeated, and finally decided to abandon Jiao Guiying and be the son -in -law of being the prime minister. On this day, Xiangfu's red candle was high, and he was full of joy, but Wang Kui always felt uneasy because of his loss. Gui Xiang, the girl -in -law of Ms. Han, was very similar to Jiao Guiying. For a while, Wang Kui actually regarded Gui Xiang as Gui Ying. He was shocked. He looked at it again and found that he had looked at it himself. In this drama, the maid Gui Xiang played by the actor of Jiao Guiying, which intuitively showed the relationship between the two of them in appearance. This not only provided the illusion of Wang Kui to provide external conditions, but also buried the foreshadowing in the later drama.

Another place to use the "generation corner" in this play is in the last play "Stunning". One night, Wang Kui was complacent with his happy marriage in his fame in the prime minister's palace, but he got the news of Jiao Guiying's suspension of himself. He was shocked and scared. He gave him a soup, so the girl -in -law who looked like Jiao Guiying once again made Wang Kui's illusion in panic, thinking that Jiao Guiying came to himself. In particular, Gui Xiang also passed the words of Ms. Han, asking Wang Kui to "sleep early and quilts, and the twilight adds clothes." In the hallucinations, Gui Xiang really became Gui Ying, so Wang Kui had a soul dialogue with Jiao Guiying in the hallucination. Facing Jiao Guiying's righteousness and affection, Wang Kui also blamed himself, but this blame could not reach the wealth. In order to keep his fame and fortune, Wang Kui had a righteousness with Jiao Guiying, and even wanted to cut the grass and remove the roots, and Jiao Guiying was dead. In the end, Wang Kui died in chaos in extreme scare. In this play, Guixiang is still played by the actor who plays Jiao Guiying. First, Gui Xiang appeared to send soup. When Wang Kui appeared illusory, Gui Xiang dressed up to Jiao Guiying, and when the play was ashamed to Wang Kui, he became angry and fluttered to Jiao Guiying. The actor's dress has become Guixiang. The use of the "angle" here has both the image and artistic illusion of Wang Kui due to fear and hallucinations.

It is particularly worth mentioning the innovative development of the drama "Starry". This folding drama was originally known as "Living Wang Kui", and after the death of Jiao Guiying, he became a ghost and caught Wang Kui to the Yin. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, this drama was adapted from the first poet "Zhao Xi" in the late Qing Dynasty to "Love". Although Wang Kui's ending ended, the contradictions of the drama were based on Jiao Guiying's ghosts to test with emotional testimony Wang Kui came to start, and from the focus of focusing and Wang's inner world, he made a detailed portrayal. Such an adaptation made the whole storyline more moving and the character image was fuller. Since Zhao Xi is known as the "first poet of the late Qing Dynasty", it naturally has a high literary accomplishment, so the drama of "Investigation" from the plot to the structure to the words and sentences is extremely particular, reaching a very high one who has reached a very high one. The level of art has been widely welcomed since its inception, and is known as a model of Sichuan opera script.

"Surprise" was re -created on the basis of "Viewing". Compared with the traditional drama, the biggest new thing about "Starry" is that it stripped Wang Kui's affection from Gui Ying's story from the feudal cause and effect, and changed the ending of "life catching Wang Kui to Yin" to Wang Kui to Wang Kui to Wang Kui He died of mental collapse under huge psychological pressure. Such an adaptation has made Wang Kui's death a reasonable and scientific explanation, which highlights his moral condemnation of this character.

In the creation of the script, "Startence" inherited the advantages of the "Investigation", elegant and well -described in the heart. Based on the exploration and influence of Wang Kui's section, it was concentrated, showing the good nature of Jiao Guiying's affection and the annihilation of Wang Kui's conscience. In the stage of the stage, the use of the "angle" method not only enables Wang Kui's psychological activity to be vividly externalized, but also performed his spiritual collapse process. Force, let the audience deeply immersed in it and feel the artistic charm of Sichuan opera. "Sichuan Province, Sichuan Opera" shows you the charm of Sichuan opera.
