I think it is the power of Pu opera to gather us together, especially young people."

Du Lina began to learn the drama at the age of 12. In the past 20 years, she almost traveled to every village in Yuncheng. It is worth noting that this girl who looks thin and weak is not only a frequent visitor to rural theater, but also the winner of the Chinese Drama Cultural Award, the Shanxi Red Plum Award, and the Xinghua Awards. Wait for the appearance.

In Yuncheng, Shanxi, there is a group of young Pu opera actors like Durina. They have achieved outstanding results in the professional field. They set up the "stage" in every local village.

The young actor supports the Pu opera drama stage

Single -leg jump chair, cross jump chair, spin chair ... Recently, the first Pu opera culture week was held in Yuncheng, Shanxi. The jumping jump of Shangteng was flexible, and the clouds flowed water, making the audience applaud and applaud.

On the day of the performance, 10 young actors from the South Expedition, Chu Xiaodan, Ren Chaoqun, and Du Lina from Yuncheng and Linfen appeared on the stage as the young rookie of Pu opera.

In response to the formation, there are many young audiences in the audience. The scene is full of seats. The wonderful performance also uses an online live broadcast method, which makes people full of eyes. The total number of viewers is 224,000.

Wang Xiaolin, vice president of the Chinese Drama and Literature Association and the president of the Shanxi Cultural Promotion Association, lamented: "The" little plum blossom "of that year has grown up, and there are people after the inheritance of Pu opera."

Pu opera, also known as "Puzhou Xunzi", is named after the rise of Puzhou (now Yongji area) in south of Shanxi. From the date of birth, it is famous. At the development stage of each era, you can sing your own singing board.

Wang Zhikai, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Pu Opera Art Academy of Pu Opera Arts in Shanxi Province, told the China Youth Daily · Zhongqing.com that the Pu opera group faced various difficulties such as funding and actor Qinghuang. In order to revitalize this excellent drama, in recent years, the local government has continuously increased policies and funding support, and improved the strength of the troupe in various aspects.

"The important thing is to let the young people go to the center of the Pu opera stage as soon as possible. This is the responsibility of the opera." Jing Xue, the winner of the "Second Plum" of the Chinese Drama Plum Award "Second Plum" The prosperity of the drama must have a batch of new drama newcomers that continue to emerge in order to provide sustainable development talent resources for a theater group, a place, and a drama.

At this Pu opera art week, the two generations of opera fans watched the two generations of actors performed on the same stage. Responsibility is inheritance

Under the stage, China Youth Daily · Zhongqing.com reporters interviewed three young actors from Nanzheng, Chu Xiaodan, and Du Lina. Among them, Du Lina was the youngest and had 19 years of learning. The other two were only 30 years old, but Has has been more than 20 years ago.

"Good plays are grinded out. Don't look at the scene on the stage, it will be very beautiful, but it is very hard to practice and press the legs daily, and the income is limited." Jingxue changed. The crisis of the inter -generation, later founded the "Little Plum Blossom Orientation Class" to solve the problem of actors Qinghuang. "Drama teaching has its very obvious special laws, and practiced 'boy merit' and determines the artistic future of the actor's life."

On this topic, Du Lina, Chu Xiaodan and others have endless stories.

In Du Lina's "Hanging Painting", there were nearly two minutes of performance in the handle of the chair circle and the back of the chair. As soon as the drum was rang, she needed to jump on the circle chair and jump lightly between the handles of the chair. This is the classic classic. The stunt "chair skills" and "gong". The point is to have both shapes and spirit to reflect the subtle changes of character emotions and moods.

In the past, the conditions were limited. For this string of lumbar and legs of the flowing clouds, Du Lina did not know how many times he fell off the red brick from the red brick. Later, her work was gradually stable, and she stabilized the red bricks of the wall on the square table. People needed to overcome their inner fear, jumping from the ground, and fell on the side of the red brick on the side of the red brick. "After practicing this, it is much simpler on the back of the chair." Du Lina said.

Before she participated in the CCTV New Year Opera Gala in 2022, the teacher Ji Youfang solemnly gave her a head flower who had treasured her for more than 20 years.

"Picking a decent one, I like it, wearing a good look!" Du Lina said that this was Master who had a heritage to her hands.

The young actor Chu Xiaodan believes that learning is endless. Master Wang Yihua is a peak in his heart. "Pu opera is the art taught by oral heart. Most people do not want to touch the drama of Master, because it is difficult to reach that level."

In the past few years, Chu Xiaodan has participated in the traditional culture organized by relevant departments to enter the campus. "Young opera fans also need to cultivate. My responsibility lies in inheritance. Talk about breaking yourself. "

Not long ago, the Pu Opera Art Institute in Shanxi Province launched a summer training course for young people and the majority of theater fans. It was unexpectedly that Wang Zhikai had not yet begun to promote. Many people have come to sign up. "Several classes are overwhelming. Among them, children's interest classes originally planned to recruit 16 people. Now 36 people have registered, many small fans have been subject to elders. The influence has also begun to become fascinated by Pu drama.

Pu opera youth is winning more young drama fans

Although in recent years, the development of Pu opera has begun to glow with the people of Jinnan, but the predicament still exists.

"The income is not high, and people cannot be recruited." Wang Zhikai said that the phenomenon of actors, editing, music and other drama talents are the common problems facing most local theater troupes.

The joy is that with the emergence of the new generation of actors and screenwriters of Pu opera, their pure and ideological expression of contemporary drama creation is refreshing. Compared with the limitations of some local theater troupes, young actors have a updated understanding of their business creation and cultural communication.

On the video number operated by the Pu opera art institute, fans enthusiastically left a message: "Sister goddess is proficient", "I often listen to drama with family members when I was a kid, and I didn't like it. The voice from my hometown "" Watching Pu opera in Douyin, I even watched it "...

In response to the development and current situation of Pu opera, Wang Zhikai said that Pu opera is different from other artistic performances. A good Pu opera from creation to rehearsal maturity, high cost, especially the new drama is exhausted and created, and it needs to go through it. The recognition of the fans. There are only very few Pu opera works that can make a profit by relying on the box office income. Especially in local dramas, subsidy tickets are a very common way. For example, sending cultural goalized activities, most of the financial subsidy tickets are inseparable from government support.

However, it is gratifying that with the continuation of the youth of Pu opera, more and more young audiences are joining the fans. "In fact, many fans are looking for tickets. During the art week, in addition to retaining work tickets and expert votes, performances are performed. All the tickets are sold, or the demand is still not satisfied. "Wang Zhikai said," A college student who is studying in Guangxi, the first thing to return to the city is to snap the performance ticket to watch the show. "

It is difficult to find an offline ticket, and it is even more popular online. Many out -of -domain fans said that the exhibition activities of such excellent works are indeed thirsty.

"However, with the more and more recognition of Pu opera in the folk, there are also private capital paying attention to the topic and cultural value brought by Pu opera, including our Pu opera art week, maybe it may not soon expand the cultural impact of Pu opera's cultural influence quickly Force, but the promotion of Pu opera is obvious. "Wang Zhikai said.
