Artistic Characteristics

Mr. Wang Sujun is a very talented composer, and his creations are very passionate. For example, in the Huai Opera "Lan Qi Ge Ge", the opening scene of the soft and lyrical Lan Qi Ge Ge When Qi Gege chases Li in the suburbs; when Lan Qi Gege gets married for the first time, the music of "Smoke in the Desert, Sadness of Hujia" creates an atmosphere like an immersive sadness and desolation, coupled with the deep sadness of Chen Fang's resonant singing voice, it is a The song "Sorrowful Marriage" became the swan song; the melodious and romantic grassland-style melody returned to the Zhungele grassland; the majestic and majestic war drums were loud and loud in front of the two armies; the dark cloud pressure was rendered with musical symbols. There is a tense atmosphere where the city is about to be destroyed.

The many pieces of Huai Opera music he created not only inherit the basic formulas of the three main tunes of Huai Opera, but also absorb and integrate other musical elements, such as the essence of Jiangnan silk and bamboo tune folk music. His works are beautiful and long-lasting. People have endless aftertaste. Another example is that "The Style of Xiaodouzhuang" is not a simple repetition of old Huai Opera tunes, but a melodious and cheerful melody that shows folk customs with a strong local flavor according to the needs of the plot, which strongly exaggerates the atmosphere and highlights the emotions of the characters, greatly It strengthens the dramatic effect of "The Style of Xiaodou Village". The music of the Huai Opera "Strange Marriage" he created insists on starting from life and characters, and changes with time and emotion. Therefore, it not only maintains the distinctive characteristics of the drama, but also enhances the strong plot special effects. For example, the traditional Huai Opera style is basically adopted intact for the patriarch Lao Tiangeng, who represents the feudal patriarchal power. Different singing forms such as duet, chorus, and accompaniment singing are also used to reveal the inner activities of the characters at multiple levels, set off the environmental atmosphere, and enrich the atmosphere. Musical expression. Old Huai opera fans affirm that this is a standard Huai opera, and young audiences are even more moved by its beautiful tunes. In the third scene of the well-known Huai Opera duet, "A Horrible Nightmare, Who Can You Tell Your Grief to?", the performing artist Liu Shaofeng sang a free and unrestrained "Old Huai Diao", vividly and vividly expressing the ambiguous "love between father and daughter" and "old man". "Young Wife" is about the inner painful contradictions of love.

Behind the scenes story

At the rehearsal venue of Huai Opera "Strange Marriage", artistic consultant Xu Qiping and director Xia Ying suggested to the screenwriter: It is best to let Dahan (played by Liu Shaofeng) and Qiu Ping (played by Liang Guoying) stayed on the stage and used side singing and back-up singing to enhance the atmosphere, fully revealing the complex psychological contradictions of the two main characters here and now. The author readily accepted this suggestion. During the revision process, He Shouguang, who was assigned to write the work, pointed out that he tried to use long and short sentences in the Qupai style to break through the traditional sentence structure of Huai Opera. This idea was immediately supported by music designers Dai Yusheng and Wang Sujun. It was already midnight and the first draft of the lyrics was written. Mr. Dai Yusheng took it and took a look and cheered repeatedly. Immediately he started singing and crooning, exploring the melody and suggesting that the actors in the play not sing a word on the spot, and all the singing would be performed behind the scenes. Mr. Wang Sujun revised the music while recording it. Once again, they were satisfied and immediately played the piano for everyone to comment on and revise. After repeated revisions and finalization, the sky in the east has become clear.

The lyrics and music break through the traditional Huai Opera's starting sentences of two, three, four or three, three, and four, and change them to bold and creative long and short sentences. This free and flexible singing gives the actors a wider space to perform and sing. . Sure enough, the two performing artists Liu Shaofeng who plays Tian Dahan and Liang Guoying who plays Qiu Ping, in the chorus and singing accompaniment, through gestures, eyes, body posture, coordination and other performance techniques and techniques, they are really silently facing each other like a dream, and there is no sound. Shengyou vividly and vividly demonstrates the inner world of the characters. The love between the two is as deep as the sea. The love that is not love is difficult to fall in love with, and it is difficult to leave and reject each other. It is a sympathetic, gripping and tear-jerking opera effect.
