The four famous artists of Shaanxi Opera are national first-class actors Li Mei, Li Juan, Qi Aiyun and Liu Ping

The four famous artists of Shaanxi Opera are famous for their powerful, heroic and exciting Northwest Opera in Beijing, which will refresh the urban audience

The China Shaanxi Opera Rhyme jointly sponsored by Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang provinces and autonomous regions "sings loudly".

On April 23rd and 24th, the "Four Famous Dancers" and "Four Little Famous Dancers" selected in the China Famous Dancers Competition for Shaanxi Opera, which lasted for 1 months, will show the charm of Shaanxi Opera to the audience in Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Auditorium with their own best performances. Yesterday, the reporter interviewed the four cutting-edge leading figures of the "Four Famous Dancers" of Shaanxi Opera.

Li Mei: attracting college students to block in the background

Li Mei, head of the Youth Troupe of Shaanxi Opera Research Institute, won the first total score in the "Four Famous Dancers" selection of Shaanxi Opera. In the world of Shaanxi Opera, Li Mei is definitely in charge of Hua Dan, which is both civil and military. Her singing is euphemistic and lyrical, and her voice is sweet and beautiful. It is her unique skill to breathe fire and walk in the circus.

She won the Plum Blossom Award at the age of 26 and the Wenhua Performance Award at the age of 28. Last year, at the age of 35, she won the Magnolia Award again. She is the only opera actress in Shaanxi Province who won three drama awards. She came to Beijing to play "Ghost Hatred Killing Life" in her famous work "The Resentment of West Lake".

Li Mei said: "At that time, many friends kindly advised me not to take part in this competition. They were worried that my reputation would be affected if I didn't win the first prize.

what they said really made me think about it for a while, but I attended anyway. Because I think, I should take the past awards as an affirmation and recognition of my past, not an evaluation of my present.

I always take the prizes I won in the past as a signboard, which doesn't explain where my current artistic level is among the actors in Shaanxi Opera. If you lie on the past honor, you will be complacent, fall behind the times, and you will not be able to reach a new artistic level. So I participated. Although I won such a title, I still need to continue to work hard in my future development. "

In recent years, even in the five northwestern provinces, not many people often listen to Shaanxi Opera. But in this tour, Li Mei's fire-breathing made many young viewers remember her.

"A few days ago, when we were rehearsing, many college students came to the theater to watch our rehearsal, and they were stuck in the background waiting for us to take off our makeup and take a photo with us, asking us to sign. After reading it, many viewers said: In addition to the Terracotta Warriors and Snacks, Shaanxi Opera is also a must, so beautiful! When I performed the fire, many young audiences were shocked. "

In order to make the Shaanxi Opera glow with new vitality, Li Mei reformed the aria, so that the Shaanxi Opera contains musical elements of opera and folk songs. Her singing is euphemistic and lyrical, and her voice is sweet and beautiful.

"In addition to popular songs, I sang the Qin opera with musical elements of opera and folk songs. Art is supposed to be a beautiful thing, and so is Shaanxi Opera. This reform is not to subvert the Shaanxi Opera. I will never give up the heroic, high-pitched and passionate characteristics of the Shaanxi Opera. As long as this reform is scientific and reasonable and conforms to the laws of art, I believe that Shaanxi Opera will be better and more acceptable to the audience. "
