Without scandal and hype, what makes Jiao Huang, an 84-year-old artist, the best person to play Zhong Nanshan?

From 65438 to 0936, Jiao Huang was born in Beijing. She grew up in a rich family. Her father graduated from yenching university and became an assistant manager of the Central Bank. Her mother is also the first generation of local female teachers.

However, in the second year of Jiao Huang's birth, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out. From Beijing to Chongqing, and then to Shanghai, the turmoil caused Jiao Huang to follow his family all the way south from the age of six.

At the age of eight, Jiao Huang came across Chen's "No Pee" and Song Zhi's "Country First" in Chongqing, and was deeply fascinated by the art on the stage.

Growing up in Beijing, Jiao Huang speaks fluent Mandarin. When I was in the fourth grade of primary school in Chongqing, I was recommended by my teacher to the local drama group, where I played the role of resisting Japan and serving the country.

Even though Jiao Huang read "Forgiveness" as "Original Shock" because he was completely illiterate at that time, he made a joke in the crew, but the joy of acting in person made him unforgettable.

In junior high school, Jiao Huang came to Shanghai with his family. He joined the school drama group and was active in all kinds of drama activities in the school.

His experience in the drama company has strengthened his future direction, regardless of his father's opposition. At that time, Jiao Huang was determined to enter the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

While reading cultural books extensively to improve his humanistic quality, he keeps fit by playing softball and other sports.

Finally, 1955, Jiao Huang was admitted to Shanghai Theatre Academy.

If Jiao Huang's previous experience made him interested in drama, then his experience in Shanghai Theatre Academy really made him awe of drama.

At that time, Jiao Huang's class not only included Xiong Foxi, Zhu Duanjun and other famous professors in China, but also Lepkov Skaya, an expert from the former Soviet Union.

In Lepkov Skaya's first class, she asked Jiao Huang and several other boys to go to the carpentry room and brought back a pile of wood in various shapes such as triangles and squares as a gift.

"This is an enlarged set of building blocks. You can use your imagination to combine them into various scenes and build a life in them. " She told everyone in the class:

"Have you observed? Children play house, never for the audience, but for their opponents. From now on, you should treat acting purely and sincerely like a child treating a game. "

Lepkov Skaya's words are carried out in every performance of the scorched drama career, fearing the audience and the stage and always being true.

In addition, Lepkov Skaya often lets students conceive, arrange and perform impromptu sketches by themselves. During that time, Jiao Huang and his classmates began to perform as soon as they woke up every morning.

There are 19 students in the class, who are divided into several "crews" and begin to perform their own plays, but if they meet on campus, they should cooperate with each other and quickly integrate into each other's sketches.

It often happens that when Jiao Huang is playing "Blessing" with other students, another group of students who happen to play "How Steel was Tempered" come over. They just played until the Red Army soldiers checked their documents, so Jiao Huang had to take out his student ID card and accept the "check" immediately, and the plot and lines were completely free to play.

In an instant, they will "enter the theater", which is a good exercise for their reaction ability, adaptability and imagination. My time on the stage can be said to be the happiest period of Jiao Huang's youth.

02, emotional frustration, low life.

1959, Jiao Huang graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy and entered the experimental troupe of Shanghai Theatre Academy as he wished.

Jiao Huang worked as a walk-on in the theater and met his first wife, Miss Chen, a match made in heaven. Coupled with her interest in drama, they got married soon.

I am very happy, doing what I like. At that time, everything was simple and beautiful.

Later, however, Jiao Huang's life fell into a trough, and his wife left him and moved away.

The best years of life were forced to be isolated from the stage, coupled with his wife's fickle feelings and unfaithfulness, all of which made Jiao Huang, who had just been wet behind the ears, deeply hit, and the pain was hard to let go. He once thought about suicide.

Later, Jiao Huang went to work in the countryside. Even in those years when he gave up drama, he never really gave up acting. Every day when Jiao Huang works underground, he practices acting in his mind.

Although the work in the countryside is very hard, Jiao Huang still met every dark cloud with love and there is a silver lining.

In the countryside, he met MISS ZHOU, an educated youth. Similar circumstances and mutual companionship in adversity made them fall in love and get married soon.

But the marriage didn't last long, and the two parted ways.

The feelings of failure again completely crushed Jiao Huang and made him completely collapse. Fortunately, his mother rushed to him in time when she heard the news, so that he did not get rid of death and spent this period of low life.

03, something for nothing, a scene of god.

What can't break you will eventually make you stronger.

Ten years later, in the 1980s, the spring of reform and opening-up touched him, and Jiao Huang returned to the stage of drama.

Since the 1980 s, brown has rushed to the east! East! ","Much ado about nothing "and a number of classic dramas.

He stood on the stage, a little more years of tempering, a little more vicissitudes. However, when the spotlight overflowed the curtain and spilled on the stage, people saw those fiery eyes ten years ago.

Later, Jiao Huang participated in the TV series Yongzheng Dynasty and Hanwu Emperor, and won many awards. But the screen brought him more income and fame than the stage, and he didn't miss it at all.

Apart from these historical plays, Jiao Huang rarely took the script, but devoted all his energy to the drama stage.

When he was allowed to return to the stage, it was only fifteen years before he retired. At an age close to ancient times, Jiao Huang raced against time to speed up and put on a stage play almost every year, such as Under the Red Flag and An Imperial Envoy.

As soon as he got to the rehearsal, Jiao Huang moved his bedding and lived in the Shanghai Youth Theatre. Friends recalled that Jiao Huang lost no time in making up for lost time.

According to statistics, from 1977 to 1992 when he retired, Jiao Huang successively participated in Anthony and Cleopatra, Mourning Trilogy, Miser, Living Without Death, Death of a Black Sergeant and so on1/kloc-0.

In 2009, the old students of Shanghai Opera Performance Department 1959 class decided to reread the graduation drama that was not completed that year-Nikolai Gogol's famous drama "An Imperial Envoy".

The crew subsidizes the actors who come to rehearse every day 100 yuan. This 100 yuan is enough to take a taxi back and forth for lunch, and finally each person will be rewarded with 20 thousand.

When rehearsing Antony and Cleopatra, Jiao Huang only got 1000 yuan more than other actors. He is not allowed to raise the ticket price. The highest ticket price for the play is 480 yuan.

The producers are in a hurry, and the fare cost is unbearable.

Jiao Huang said, "I don't care. Those junior high school students who watched my play in those days are now old men and women in their 60s with little pension. I won't let them spend so much money on the theatre. "

Brown doesn't care about the reward. He likes the stage and the art itself;

"Money, this thing is really bottomless. I won't play those plays that have no artistic pursuit, no matter how much money I get. Besides, what do I need so much money for? It is very important for an actor to enjoy a process when he is acting and putting himself into creation. For me, there is no happiness in life that can be compared with the happiness of creation. "

Unlike his indifference to money, Jiao Huang is completely critical of drama. He does every little thing by himself.

Even after retirement, every time the crew rehearses a play, Jiao Huang has to think hard about planning, fund-raising, producer, market pricing, and even the way out for the scenery and props after the performance.

He found a friend and stored his clothes and props in a school warehouse. The costumes and scenery of the Imperial Envoy are placed in a friend's factory; Take Anthony and Cleopatra's costumes home, thinking that this costume can arrange another Roman play. "Otherwise, you have to spend money somewhere."

After the success of her career, Jiao Huang scored three goals in a row emotionally, which attracted the female journalist Chen Xiaoli. Under the active pursuit of Chen Xiaoli, Jiao Huang once again summoned the courage to enter the marriage, and the two gave birth to a daughter and lived happily.

04, lean, love for life.

In 20 15, at the 9th China Golden Lion Awards Ceremony, the organizing committee awarded the highest award "Lifetime Honor Award" to Jiao Huang, who was 78 years old at that time. They praised him as "the adherent and practitioner of realistic drama performance".

Jiao Huang used his words and deeds to create an image of an old artist with both ability and political integrity. I have never been hyped, never had an affair, and I have been acting honestly all my life.

More than 50 years of drama life, as the 90-year-old drama fan described in a poem written for him:

"Look at that old man/who has been swinging on the stage for more than fifty years/who is as thin as a play/yo-ho ..."
