How powerful is Wang Luoyong, the first Chinese on Broadway?

Wang Luoyong studied Peking Opera, and later graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy majoring in musicals, which gave him a unique accent. However, the tone of the play has a little "northeast flavor" from time to time, mixed with some very vivid onomatopoeia words.

Say a few words, the other party will get an impression: grounding gas.

This temperament is combined with his style of play. Since returning to China from 200 1, Wang Luoyong has made many plays reflecting the life of the grassroots people in China and has been to many places. He walked into the forest farm in the northeast mountainous area, made friends with herders under the Tianshan Mountains, and was bitten by bedbugs and mosquitoes on the farm. When he ate steamed stuffed buns that smelled a little "covered with vegetables", his guilt of "not participating in the great changes of the motherland" in the past was somewhat alleviated.

/kloc-in the United States in 0/6, he changed from a "poor student" who only knew dozens of English words to the focus of Broadway stage spotlight; From a poor student who is short of money to a successful person who lives in Manhattan, new york every day in a suit and tie.

While working hard and gaining fame and fortune, he chose to return to China for development. Wang Luoyong said that the most direct emotional factor is curiosity about the changes in hometown, not the legendary "strong patriotic feelings". "I definitely love my motherland and my hometown, but that is a deeper emotion, not the most intuitive feeling."

At that time, China was developing rapidly in the full swing of reform and opening up. Wang Luoyong's relatives and friends often share the great changes in his hometown and their joy with him on the phone. When he was in the United States, he saw that American film and television works were mostly aimed at people from China and China, which made him resentful and determined to go back to China to have a look and experience.

"After returning to China, I filmed Lin Yuan, The Visitor on the Iceberg and Jiao to embrace those people at the grass-roots level and lead the most ordinary life. Drinking coffee, driving a sports car and living in a tall building will not play the role of a beautiful woman around you. " 17 When he returned to China, Wang Luoyong always remembered the initial intention of pushing him back.

"To tell you the truth, I'm tired of drinking coffee, smoking cigars and wearing suits in America." Therefore, when he put on Yang Zirong's cotton-padded jacket and wolf's fur coat, the familiar and unfamiliar maternal culture made him feel kind, and his heart was full of desire for more experience.

In the experience, he deeply realized that although China is still developing and various systems are not perfect, there are great ordinary workers and kind people in China, who are maintaining the operation of this social gear and making up for the cracks in development.

This came from the first scene in Yang Zirong, and almost held Wang Luoyong's hand.

This is Wang Luoyong's first trip to the Northeast. He doesn't know how cold it is in winter there.

In that scene, Yang Zirong made snow for his dead comrades with his bare hands. After touching a few piles with his hands in the snow, Wang Luoyong already felt the biting cold. But watching other actors lying in the snow, he told himself not to be timid, not conditional, and to be as dedicated as other actors. When he finished the play seriously, his hand didn't hurt so much because he had lost consciousness.

After the play, Wang Luoyong turned to go, and suddenly a circle of people gathered around to rub his hand, saying that if he didn't rub it, he would cut it off. Found that the hand has changed color and the blood has not flowed back. Actors, cast members and local farmers took turns rubbing him for more than 40 minutes before his consciousness gradually recovered.

Working in the United States for more than ten years, Wang Luoyong has never encountered a similar situation. "The perfect system in the United States guarantees my safety and health, but it also makes it difficult for me to feel those warm feelings and righteousness." Especially when a middle-aged elder sister held his hand in her arms, even though she was unaware of her chest, she still tried to rub her hands seriously. Wang Luoyong was moved by this selfless concern.

My country and people

"Since I played Lin Xuehai Yuan, since I played Jiao Youlu and since I played Lin Xuehai Yuan, I have expressed their feelings for ordinary people, their joys and sorrows, and their yearning for life." In order to find the emotion that can make him firm in front of the camera, rather than the "insincerity" when he acts alone, Wang Luoyong always goes to the countryside to collect folk songs and experience life when he appears in works praising laborers.

Although Zhuge Liang was beaten last year, Wang Luo spent the past 1 1 day on vacation and went to No.3354, Wuhou Temple, Zhuge Liang's former residence. During the holiday, the bustling crowd really surprised him and made him feel very gratified.

"When people go to Wuhou Temple, they are actually silently admiring him, and they are also eager to be like him." Speaking of this, Wang Luoyong was very excited. "This is China's hope!" After a pause, he curled his lips and said half jokingly and half seriously, "If I go to Wuhou Temple today, I find no one there. They are all in the amusement park. Next week, you will definitely see me hanging by a rope. "

Wang Luoyong plays Zhuge Liang in The Visitor on the Iceberg.

Although China's drama literature was too sad when he was young, Wang Luoyong was somewhat "idolatrous to foreigners". "When you go abroad, you will really know what patriotism is." After deeply studying western drama and understanding western culture, Wang Luoyong calmed down. He found that there were too many outstanding figures and ideas in China culture, but they were not well disseminated.

"For example, the gentleman's agreement, who said it was western? The biggest and earliest spirit of contract is that Zhuge Liang wholeheartedly assisted the little emperor. " He said, but we don't tell many stories like this, let alone the world.

In Wang Luoyong's view, China culture can no longer be satisfied with telling stories in Chinese, but should learn to tell China stories in the language of the world. In the past, many translators of China's dramas didn't understand drama, which trapped the China culture that should have been spread.

Not long ago, Wang Luoyong personally translated and recited the English version of Roar and Long Yin in Weibo. Accurate translation, in-depth reading and direct impact on people's hearts reflect the shocking power of China culture and the urgency of cultural globalization in China. To change the imperfection of the industry, we should start with students, so he asked the Music Center of Shanghai Theatre Academy to adopt bilingual teaching and offer English pronunciation classes.

The experience of struggling in the United States made Wang Luoyong deeply understand that only he can save himself when he is helpless. As the first Asian to play the leading role in a Broadway musical, he tried his best to save himself from the "black hole of English lines". Only through the efforts of several generations can China culture get out of ignorance.

"Yes, sir" and "Wang Yier"

During Wang Luoyong's struggle in the United States, he had two nicknames, "Yes" and "Wang Yier". The former was started by others, which embarrassed him; The latter was invented by himself, which made him very happy.

"Americans learn by doing, so don't be afraid of poor English. You can use yes to ask you anything, and then you will learn by doing it slowly. " This "advice" given to Wang Luoyong by an old international student changed his life. But it's hard to say whether you helped him or lied to him.

When he learned that he had the opportunity to study in the United States, Wang Luo used "Yes! Yes! " He said that his English was very good, but he muddled through and got the admission qualification and scholarship. However, what I didn't expect was that I was ruined just one week after I entered school.

Wang Luoyong only repeated a "yes" word dialogue is like this:

Teacher: "Have you read stanislavski's Self-cultivation of Actors?"

Wang Luoyong: "Yes!" After reading the Chinese version, he said proudly.

Teacher: "Then tell us about this book."

Wang Luoyong: "Yes!" -instinctive reaction.

Teacher: "You can start."

Wang Luoyong: "Yes"-I feel a little uneasy.

Teacher: "Which paragraph do you want to talk about?"

Wang Luoyong: "Really?" I think something is wrong.

Teacher: "Why don't you talk?"

Wang Luoyong: "Yes"-I started to panic and didn't know what to do.

Teacher: "Don't you understand what I mean?"

Wang Luoyong: "Right."

The whole class burst into laughter. The teacher took Wang Luoyong to the office for examination and naturally failed. The next day, he was disqualified from scholarship and drama school and was "sent" to a language school to study. Wang Luoyong became the laughingstock of the whole school and was dubbed "Mr. Men" from now on.

"My in the mind is the hate! I hate why I didn't have a good English class when I played football! I hate that I believe what others say so easily! " More than 20 years later, Wang Luoyong still frowned and gritted his teeth when he mentioned the past. Say that finish, sipping mouth, slowly shook his head.

Wang Luoyong was so angry that he wanted to pack up and go back to China. Fortunately, a teacher saw his Beijing Opera Kung Fu and asked him to play the leading role in the stage play Peter Pan-a role that only needs to dance without talking. The good image of Beijing opera training made the performance a great success. The local newspaper reported his performance with a huge page titled "A flash of lightning from the east lit up the Louisiana stage".

The joy of small achievements has removed part of the haze in Wang Luoyong's heart. The teacher who gave him the role continued to encourage him and said, "It will take ten years for others to catch up with your physical fitness, but as long as you concentrate on learning English for two years, you can catch up with many people!"

After listening to this comparison of time and cost, Wang Luoyong made up his mind to learn English. Determination is easy to get, but the pain of practice is hard.

At that time, every week in the dialogue class, the teacher would sit in a row and report the roles he wanted to play one by one. If someone happens to be willing to partner in the back, the two will successfully form a team. Two months ago, none of my classmates offered to team up with him.

Every time everyone left in pairs, leaving Wang Luoyong sitting there alone. Teachers can't force others, they can only look at him, shrug their shoulders, and then help him memorize words by himself.

"In the beginning, I was very wronged and uncomfortable. But I later realized that the teacher did the right thing. I can't force others to come. Compassion only creates illusion. I must win them over. " After thinking it over, Wang Luoyong began to concentrate on practicing and read word for word with the teacher, over and over again.

Two months later, in a lecture performance, other students performed together, and he finished a long monologue in Shakespeare's plays on the stage alone. After stepping down, all the students gathered around and patted him and said, "Well done!" " Several female students held his face and offered an appreciative kiss.

That day, Wang Luoyong walked out of the theater with red lips. After that day, Wang Luoyong will rehearse any role with him.

When rehearsing in the American theater, there will be a special line teacher to write an opinion record for each actor. Although Wang Luoyong got rid of the nickname "Mr. Men", there are still many problems such as accent. Other people's opinions are basically only one page, and Wang Luoyong got seven or eight pages.

But hard work pays off. With hard practice day after day, the number of pages of Wang Luoyong's opinion record gradually decreased. Until one day, when there was only one page, Wang Luoyong held up the paper and shouted happily, "My name is Wang Yier!" "

Wang Luoyong is with the children in Yi Nationality Village, Guizhou.

I have a fire, and fire is on earth.

Wang Luoyong played the leading role in the Broadway musical "Miss Saigon" and officially entered the Broadway stage on July 4th. 1995. A drama, a performance is 5 years, 2478 performances.

Now, Wang Luoyong's main job is teaching. I studied for a master's degree in drama education. After graduation, I taught at the University of Wisconsin for five years. After returning to China, he worked in the music major of Shanghai Theatre Academy and founded the Music Center of Shanghai Theatre Academy on 20 12.

More than 20 years of teaching experience has always given him a sense of responsibility as a teacher rooted in his heart. "I swore an oath!"

"I am not busy trying to spread the truth in my life, but I acquiesced in the spread of sin, degeneration and ignorance among people." For Wang Luoyong, this oath is not only a word he once said, but also a rule that he should always keep in mind and strive to realize.

"Teacher Wang is so special, I have never seen such a dean!" More than one student in the music center said so. Every moment is like beating chicken blood, singing and dancing anytime and anywhere.

In class, students majoring in music performance of Wang Luoyong and Shanghai Opera.

He brings students not only surprises, but also "surprises" sometimes. Once, Wang Luoyong was patrolling the teaching building and happened to meet a freshman class who was liberating nature and imitating small animals. After he quietly pushed the door in, he knelt on the ground and turned into a dog, just like an "Ani maggs" who was proficient in transfiguration.

Wang Luoyong, who shows off her skills in class, is not as low-key as a backpack in her daily life. "I once passed him on campus. I happened to look back and see the mountaineering bag he was carrying everywhere, only to find that I didn't recognize Mr. Wang Luoyong! " Student Zhu Qianwei's tone is full of surprise. She has been thinking about how a big coffee star can keep a low profile to a passerby who can't even recognize her pro-students.

In fact, in Wang Luoyong's mind, teaching is both responsibility and love. "We had a freshman meeting the day before yesterday. When I saw those young people, I sincerely felt: Great! I am willing to pave the way for my students. " Speaking of students, Wang Luoyong's eyes are full of loving light.

He is indifferent to the fact that "the hero in front of the stage retreats behind the scenes" "I'm already on fire, and it's a human fire." Wang Luoyong pretended to be proud, then shrugged and smiled.

"I have experienced everything I have experienced, and I have been immersed in the ocean of drama culture all the way until now, providing resources from the world for my students. This is the biggest role I can play at present and the place where I feel the best. "
