Why can't Shanghai Opera beat the younger Huangmei Opera? Seek an answer

Shanghai opera is young, but it is compared with other operas such as Beijing and Kunming. There are many kinds of operas younger than Shanghai Opera!

This series is not compared with other younger operas, but only Huangmei Opera, which is younger than Shanghai Opera.

. In 1930s and 1940s, Shanghai Opera entered the heyday of the Concession.

Huangmei Opera in the history of Shanghai Opera still stays at the stage of "the altar" or "flexion and extension" at most. It can be seen that Huangmei Opera is young and Shanghai Opera is relatively mature, whether from its own influential genre or from the numerous plays involved in the film.

Both Shanghai Opera and Huangmei Opera originated in rural areas. The main difference between them is that Shanghai Opera quickly occupied the commanding heights of big cities. It is inevitable that there will be estrangement.

Another common feature of Shanghai Opera and Huangmei Opera is that they do not attach importance to martial arts and have no big face. The so-called quintessence of Beijing Opera, the Three Kingdoms Opera that could not be sung in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the Shanghai Opera and Huangmei Opera have almost no fate. So,

Shanghai Opera only begins with the opening of the Three Kingdoms, let alone the serious Three Kingdoms Opera. As for Huangmei Opera, it's no wonder that I was amazed at Tu's pass the parcel Scolding Cao!

Without the historical bearing of Jingkun,

Shanghai Opera and Huangmei Opera have taken completely different directions on the road of growth. From my argument that Huangmei Opera and Henan Opera can compete for the third place, we can know that its unique charm is beyond Shanghai Opera.

So, where is the problem? As long as we compare apples and pears, we can compare their respective flavors, skins and ingredients. As for whether you like apples or pears, that's not a question to consider in this series.

Shanghai Opera is famous for its suits and cheongsam. This is * * * knowledge and advantages. But this is also a disadvantage. That's how things are divided into two, which are mutually causal.

The first part analyzes the reserved tracks.

Huangmei opera is good at performing small plays, which is no different from the tradition of Shanghai opera.

There are many small plays in the tradition of Shanghai Opera. This is because it is suitable for visiting villages.

The typical sketch of Huangmei Opera is the famous pig grass. I remember to perform abroad often. One of my favorite plays in Huangmei Opera is that couples watch lights, which is much more interesting than watching lights and chasing fish in Yue Opera. The latter is a play, and the former is a real play. Malan Huang Xinde plays the best, which is a classic in my opinion! There are many famous dramas in Shanghai Opera, such as Women Watching Lights. Abida's return to her mother's house can also be regarded as a little play. Others are different. But the question is, where are all these plays now? Why can't they last? Comparing the two, we can immediately see that Huangmei Opera is singing and dancing, paying attention to the dynamic performance of the stage and embodying the beauty of the typhoon. However, this basic skill is ignored by the script director and the actors themselves.

For example, Fu Ziban is a woman's best at watching lights, which is a unique tune of Shanghai Opera. The existence and application of Fu Ziban is the pride of Shanghai Opera. Therefore, the Shanghai opera Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage is better than the tin opera anyway. No matter it is tin opera or Yue opera, it is not as good as Shi Xiaoying! On the other hand, however, think about it. An actor sings this board-by-board master board on the stage by stealing gas and breathing. He is concerned that one of Ding Shie's masterpieces, The Women's Singles Gang, is a long-term master's board in one go (I wrote this situation into the script of Lust, Caution, and it is also a way to promote Shanghai Opera closely following the identity of the heroine's solo gang). How can he dance around the stage and perform body movements? Another example is Abida's playing cotton, which is a very nice basic tune, but she is almost standing still when playing. How can you sing and dance? Chinese script has always been a dialect song and dance, but Shanghai opera has not paid attention to it from the beginning, and later abandoned this very important hand-eye posture step. No wonder Mr. Lu Xun said in "Social Drama" that he hated Lao Dan's appearance the most. Because Lao Dan sings as soon as he appears, there are not so many wonderful figures of Wen Wusheng's Peking Opera Blues in Lao Dan, Lao Dan (unless waiting for the scene on the road). Lu Xun said that she just sat and sang, raised her hand and thought it was over, but she still sat and sang. It was Lu Xun's childhood experience to doze off while watching.

So, the problem is clear. Wearing a suit and cheongsam is difficult to perform the traditional dance steps inherent in the opera itself. Actors can only dance those modern dances. It's not that you can't dance modern dance, but that you can't dance traditional songs and dances with traditional operas.

A large piece of Shanghai opera is missing immediately. But up to now, only Xu Jun's reform, Tan Wugeng, and his dozen winners.

Shanghai Opera is not as small as Huangmei Opera, and it can occupy the stage forever without boring people (including non-Shanghainese in particular).

Another obvious gap is that there are basically no fairy tales in Shanghai opera. Before liberation, there was a legend of the White Snake. Ding Shie was famous for playing Xiao Qingqing, because she was good at stealing plays. My little uncle Zhao Hongsheng's two wives both played Xiaoqing, a white snake, but it is conceivable that they are not as good as stealing grass and water in Kunming, Beijing. This is a world of difference. Not to mention Jingkun, let's compare it with Huangmei Opera.

Several classics of Huangmei Opera include the most eternal fairy matching, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Dragon Girl (which is also a classic of Malan Huang Xinde) and Golden Frog of Liu Hai Opera.

Ok, let's stop here. The rest of the play will be supplemented in the sequel of this series. The next article is to compare two businesses, please pay attention. (Zhao)
