As an actress in Gannan tea-picking drama, she is lucky. At the age of 27, she won the highest honor in the opera world "Plum Blossom Award". So far, only five "plum blossoms" have blossomed in Jiangxi Province. Because of this, she is deeply grateful to the red land that raised her. She studies harder. She has been an artist for more than 30 years, resisting the temptation of fame and fortune, giving up the development opportunity of staying in Beijing in the south many times, and making great efforts for the revival and prosperity of tea-picking opera in southern Jiangxi.
As the director of Gannan Tea-picking Song and Dance Theater, a grass-roots troupe, she is successful. The team she led won the "Five One Projects" award twice and became one of the advanced units in the national cultural system. As a dean, she is willing to give up Taiwan Province and cultivate talents carefully; Determined to reform, she promoted all the staff in the hospital to compete for posts in 1998, broke the "big pot" and put forward the purpose of "comprehensive art takes the market and traditional culture establishes the brand", which inspired the infinite vitality of the team.
As the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, she takes it as her unshirkable responsibility to inherit and develop Gannan tea-picking opera. She firmly believes that this product of agricultural civilization can flourish only if it is deeply rooted in rural areas and serves farmers. The troupe insists on performing more than 200 performances in the countryside every year, and at the same time, it sings Caotai Opera in Beijing National Grand Theatre and Hakka areas such as Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan Province Province and Hong Kong.
She is a national first-class actress, a deputy to the National People's Congress, an assistant to the director of Chinese opera, a member of the Ganzhou Municipal Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, and Long Hong, vice chairman of the Ganzhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles. In the past 30 years, she has won many awards, such as the 11th Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Drama, Wenhua Performance Award of the Ministry of Culture, and Excellent Performance Award for National Local Opera Exchange Performance.
"The drama is bigger than the sky, and the tea-picking drama in southern Jiangxi is my lifelong pursuit."
1977, at the age of 1 1, Long Hong left his hometown of Ningdu, Jiangxi Province, and entered the Gannan tea-picking class of Jiangxi Literature and Art School. Since then, it has formed an indissoluble bond with Gannan tea-picking drama. 198 1 year, Long Hong graduated from art school with excellent results and was assigned to Gannan Tea Picking Troupe, wearing her long-cherished red dancing shoes.
In the 1980s, stage plays were at a low ebb. In the face of the drama's predicament, some people complain and some people give up, but Long Hong has been on the stage for 30 years!
Long Hong is famous for his serious performance. No matter what role you play, you are meticulous and strive for perfection. In 2002, she starred in the musical "The Woman in the Enclosure". In order to perform the play well, she not only gave up all her holidays, but also entrusted her daughter who was about to take the senior high school entrance examination to her old mother and devoted herself to the rehearsal. She repeatedly studied the script and carefully pondered the role; During rehearsals, she was often so tired that she lost her voice, but she never let go of an unreasonable detail, a subtle emotion that was not measured. A small hand-holding action, she simply revised it six times until there was no flaw. In the rehearsal hall, sweat and tears are intertwined again and again, and the knee that has not healed and added new injuries is bleeding again and again. At one rehearsal, the wet nurse was very grateful to the battalion commander for his understanding and rescue. When she called "battalion commander" and knelt down, Long Hong was too involved. After getting up, deep red blood ran down her trouser legs, but she didn't feel anything. Colleagues advised her, why is the rehearsal so serious? She always smiles and says, "Pay more when rehearsing, and have less regrets when performing."
In June 2009, 43-year-old Long Hong was informed that "Love of Folk Songs" would be staged at the National Centre for the Performing Arts as a performance to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). Love of Folk Songs is a drama that made tea-picking dramas in Longhong and Gannan popular all over the country 16 years ago. After 16 years, what should we do with the growth of age? The biggest problem is figure. In order to give the audience a handsome and slim show, she didn't get a grain of rice from the day she received the performance task, and she relied on fruit, vegetable juice and nutritious tablets every day. For more than three months, the "devil slimming method" made her lose 7.5 kilograms.
With unremitting pursuit of art and full love for tea-picking drama, Long Hong has starred in Hua Tian Cuo, Double Jade Chan, Different People, Love and Commodities, Girl Playing Guitar, Sun Cheng Playing Wine, Mythical War, A San Strikes While the Iron is Hot, and Folk Songs and Surroundings. Her plays, such as Trying a Wife, Wang Xiaoer Spring Festival and Meeting on a Ship, were made into VCDs and distributed nationwide. She has represented Gannan Tea-picking Opera in Hongkong, Taiwan Province and other places for many times.
1993 starred in "Love of Folk Songs" and "A Strong Voice Moves Beijing", and won the "Five One Project" Award of the Propaganda Department of the CPC, the "Wenhua Award" of the Ministry of Culture and the "Cao Yu Drama Literature Award". Long Hong also won two laurels, the Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Drama and the Wenhua Performance Award of the Ministry of Culture, which is what everyone in the entertainment industry yearns for.
But this happiness is short-lived. Re-examine yourself with the standard of a "plum blossom award" actress, and Long Hong feels the gap. In order to further enrich herself, she decided to quit her job and go to college.
After that, he studied and performed for four years. 1997, with tenacious perseverance, the secondary school students of this art school won the first place in the cultural examination of the whole class and were admitted to the singing major of China Conservatory of Music. Learning new courses such as staff, harmony, solfeggio, vocal music methods, Chinese and Western music history, national music, etc., and expanding artistic horizons, Long Hong has achieved a leap from practice to theory.
After studying for two years, her friends advised her to stay in Beijing and seek greater development, but she still returned to Ganzhou. She wants to come back and repay all the villagers who have helped her and cared about her, as well as her colleagues who have quietly contributed to her success.
Her career made her dream come true. 1999, she successfully held the first solo concert in Gannan; In 2003, she starred in "Woman in front of the house and behind the house" and won the first prize of the second Jiangxi Art Festival, and won the 15 prize, ranking first in the province's award-winning repertoire; 200 1 The tea-picking drama "Far Mountain" starring her won the "Five One Project" award from the Propaganda Department of the CPC and the "Wenhua New Drama Award" from the Ministry of Culture; In 2006, Gu Xia, starring her, won the first prize in the 7th Jiangxi Yu Minghua Drama Festival. In 2004, he published his solo album "Classic of Tea-picking Opera in Gannan".
"Gannan tea-picking drama is rooted in the countryside. No matter how hard and tired it is, it is worthwhile for farmers to enjoy high-level performances."
After 30 years as an artist, Long Hong has performed at the grassroots level for 26 years. She said: "When I gave a face-to-face performance to farmers in the countryside, I felt like stepping on the ground, and I felt very practical. This may be a cultural affiliation. "
According to Long Hong, in fact, China's opera itself is the product of farming civilization, and its roots, especially local operas, are all in the countryside. The intimate friends of the grass-roots troupe are the people, and their parents are farmers.
The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that building a new socialist countryside is a major historical task in the process of China's modernization. Ganzhou is the forerunner of new rural construction in China. In September 2004, Ganzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government took the lead in putting forward the concept of "new rural construction", which set off a new rural construction upsurge in the whole city, forming "Ganzhou model" and "Ganzhou experience", which was affirmed by the central authorities. In the process of promoting and developing the new rural construction in Ganzhou, Gannan tea-picking opera and literary and art workers have made due contributions.
Although she is becoming more and more famous among her peers in the province and even the whole country, Long Hong has always worked hard in the front line of artistic production with the mentality of an ordinary actress: she left her footprints in the mobile stage performance car in the countryside, the workshop in the factory and the drying valley in the countryside; Whether in the city or the countryside, whether it is a big play or a small play, even if she only sings one or two paragraphs, she always devotes herself to it and never takes it lightly; Every performance, she always sets an example, suffering first, loading and unloading cars, loading and unloading platforms, she always takes the lead; When performing in the countryside, she slept on the stage and made a floor like everyone else, never mentioning special requirements.
She knows that farmers who get rich step by step have higher and higher requirements for cultural life. Long Hong went to the countryside to perform, and there were too many scenes that moved her. A dutiful son drove dozens of miles of mountain roads with a tractor, pulling his mother who was nearly eighty years old and letting her sit in the car and watch; A half-year-old opera fan slipped out of the health clinic and looked at it with a salt bottle; Some villages saw the troupe beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers to greet them. ...
In order to save money, someone suggested to Long Hong, who is the head of the group, that the sound and lighting should be as simple as possible when performing in the countryside, and the actors can also let the newcomers exercise more. However, Long Hong has always insisted that the artistic level of performing for farmers should not be discounted because of low economic benefits. She asked the participants to treat leaders at all levels like grass-roots farmers.
She is so demanding of others, and she is the first to set an example. After winning the Wenhua Award, Love of Folk Songs toured over 100 in Ganzhou. There is no replacement of B-ultrasound angle, sometimes it is performed three times a day, and the makeup in the morning can't be removed until the evening. At that time, it was in the cold winter, and the rural performance conditions were simple. The nail removal was carried out with biting cold water, and the skin on the face was chapped, and the oil paint penetrated from the broken skin. So far, she has left two marks on her cheeks that she calls "plum blossom spots". Face is an actor's capital, but optimistic Long Hong always points to Plum Blossom Pile proudly, saying at a glance that he is a tea picker from grass roots.
In order to better serve the rural areas and farmers in the new era, Gannan Tea-picking Song and Dance Troupe closely combines the construction of rural grass-roots culture with the "three activities" of rural culture in the construction of new countryside (inviting farmers to watch plays, movies and carry out cultural activities in villages and towns for free), so that farmers can easily and happily understand the party's principles and policies and improve their ideological and moral level. For this reason, the theater has created special programs such as Allegro, Harmony and Peace, Fishing Drum, Happy Life, Singing and Dancing, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Building a New Countryside, the sketch "The Gift of Cattle", and some outstanding plays of tea-picking dramas.
Long Hong said that Gannan Tea-picking Song and Dance Theater has the responsibility of promoting fine works and professional demonstrations, sending outstanding works to the countryside, talking to farmers and saying good things, which is the responsibility of literary and art workers to carry forward the main theme.
Farmers' love is the only benchmark to evaluate the success of Gannan tea-picking drama. Taking this as a starting point, the tea-picking drama Happy Pacemaker explains the story of a big navel orange grower who led the villagers to get rich together. This light comedy has been brewing for nearly three years, and its works are positive and close to the people. He has performed nearly 100 performances in Ganzhou and is very popular. The Happy Model, which was planned and supervised by Long Hong, won the "Five One Projects" award this year.
"The revival and prosperity of local operas require practitioners not to be arrogant, but to inherit and innovate."
Facing fewer and fewer audiences, fewer and fewer creators, fewer and fewer skilled actors, more and more depressed county-level theatrical troupes, and narrower performance space, Long Hong is full of worries about the future of Gannan tea-picking opera. Since 2003, she has organized a large number of professionals to sort out, repair and rediscover the words, sounds and pictures of tea-picking dramas. In 2006, Gannan Tea-picking Opera declared the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection projects, which was successful in one fell swoop.
Compared with Peking Opera, which has a history of only 200 years, Gannan tea-picking opera has a history of 400 years. However, for Long Hong, being selected as a national intangible cultural heritage has mixed feelings: it is gratifying that Gannan tea-picking opera has a high artistic value and cultural status; What is worrying is that Gannan tea-picking drama has reached the point where we have to attach great importance to it, otherwise, this wonderful drama will lose its inheritance value.
Longhong has been immersed in Gannan tea-picking drama for 30 years and has always been deeply attached to the inheritance of Gannan tea-picking drama. 1999 after graduating from college, he earned millions for the theater. According to the theater reward system, she can get a bonus of nearly several hundred thousand yuan, but Long Hong wants nothing, and proposes to use all the bonuses as reward funds for theater art production. During the production of "The Woman in front of the House", due to the shortage of theater funds, she personally allocated tens of thousands of yuan to solve the urgent need. In order to save money for the theater, she vacated her house for experts to live in and entertained experts and guests with tea and fruit at home. She will also give solatium, who is given by the government and organizations every Spring Festival, to help the poor workers in her unit and help the poor students in two remote mountainous areas every year.
As long as it is for the development of tea-picking drama in southern Jiangxi, Long Hong always has indomitable spirit. Because she firmly believes that Gannan is a growing art place, folk tunes and Soviet area ballads are inexhaustible artistic treasures, which gives her confidence to lead the comrades in the hospital to work hard even though many local operas die out silently every year. "People who are engaged in local operas cannot easily feel inferior and despise their careers. Suppose you don't love and admire your career, how can you let our local opera go out? " Long Hong always encourages his colleagues like this.
Long Hong said: "Intangible cultural heritage cannot be used as a specimen. It is not just put in a museum, but dynamically preserved and developed, so that the art with vitality can be passed down from generation to generation. Grassroots literary and art groups have made great achievements in this regard. "
Over the years, she has been constantly looking for a way, a way to make Gannan tea-picking drama develop continuously. In order to strengthen the inheritance and protection of Gannan tea-picking opera, a national intangible cultural heritage, Long Hong led his colleagues to do a lot of work in excavating, sorting out and protecting traditional plays. It is planned to arrange and adapt donkey kong's Four Traditional Tea-picking Plays in donkey kong: Going to Guangdong, Four Sisters Against Love, selling groceries and Daquanfu. Now Shang Guangdong has been revised and rehearsed in the theater, and Four Sisters Against Love.
In order to improve the ornamental artistry of Gannan tea-picking opera, Longhong introduced the aesthetic concept of traditional opera and elements of modern opera, improved the traditional costume modeling, and made music innovation, which made many beneficial attempts to make Gannan tea-picking opera truly an art that appeals to both refined and popular tastes. At the same time, we constantly innovate the forms of expression. Love of Folk Songs is a mountain opera, Women Around Home is the first musical in our province, and Happy Pacemaker is a modern drama with a lot of modern elements in the form of traditional tea-picking drama ... With the development of the times, Gannan tea-picking drama combines the spirit of the times with traditional art forms, and its fine products are one after another, attracting worldwide attention.
The key to revitalizing Gannan tea-picking opera lies in people. Longhong takes improving the quality and vitality of employees as a breakthrough and innovates the mechanism. 1998 after taking the first step in the reform of the war zone, we will continue to deepen the reform of the internal mechanism and realize the post competition for all staff in the hospital. Only 40% salary will be paid to those who are waiting for posts, 30% salary will be paid to those who do not compete for posts in the second year, and those who do not compete for posts for three consecutive years. In the distribution system, more work and more pay are implemented, and a floating salary system is implemented according to everyone's basic skills assessment, annual performance and attendance. The scientific assessment system has stimulated the vitality of the team. The performance income has increased steadily, and the annual performance income is three to five times that of the past.
To retain talents, we must vigorously cultivate talents and build a platform for talents to do business. Restore 30 traditional operas, get rid of their dross and take their essence. At the same time, with the help of the theme education activities such as "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" and national entrepreneurship, small dramas such as abstaining from gambling, whoring and getting rich through hard work, which are popular among farmers, were put forward, and the team was naturally stable. Actively launch new dramas and cultivate local talents to promote new dramas. The screenwriter of the happy model is from our college, such as voice, dance beauty and so on. Belongs to our college, and all the actors belong to our college.
As the dean, Long Hong pays special attention to the cultivation of young actors and the "passing, helping and bringing" of theater cast members. In every performance, Long Hong always enthusiastically teaches every young actor, points out their shortcomings and teaches them solutions. Under her guidance, young actors Lu Zhiyuan and Yi Xiaoyan won the Gold Award and the Silver Award in the China Opera Hongmei Singing Competition, Yang Jun and Yang Mingsheng won the National Outstanding Actor Award for Minority Performances, and Zhou Huan won the first prize in the performance of the Yu Minghua Drama Festival in Jiangxi Province.
In order to strengthen the publicity and promotion of Gannan tea-picking opera and cultivate modern audiences, with the efforts of Long Hong, a small cinema rented by a film company has been transformed into today's small tea-picking opera theater, which has performances every Saturday night. "Tea-picking Opera" has been popularized in Ganzhou, and "Gannan Tea-picking Opera Aerobics" has been a common exercise for adults and children. Undertaking national rural theme local drama exhibitions and other activities, making Gannan tea-picking drama stand on a higher platform; They also use the internet to make Gannan tea-picking drama fly further. ...
