The first role played by Wan Shanhong is the third fairy in the marriage of a black boy. She humbly asked her predecessors for advice and repeatedly read and studied the script. At the premiere, the "Third Fairy" came out with a big tobacco pouch step by step and won warm applause from the audience. Wan Shanhong brought this matchmaker full of evil spirits back to life.
When the theater rehearsed White-haired Girl, she was arranged to play Huang Shiren's mother. Wan Shanhong didn't complain, but also carefully studied the characteristics of the characters. She used the method of teacher's on-the-spot guidance for reference to "make up" her voice and vividly portrayed her unruly character.
A few years later, when the theater rehearsed Regret for the Past according to Lu Xun's masterpiece, Wan Shanhong longed to play Zijun, but the director arranged other actors. Wan Shanhong was not discouraged. Every night, she rehearses meticulously in the huge rehearsal hall alone. In twenty days, from vocal music design to Daobai modeling, she actually finished a play by herself. Then she found a supporting role and practiced it by herself. Many people think Xiaowan is stupid. Wan Shanhong thinks this is a rare opportunity to learn and exercise. Although she didn't perform on stage in the end, she really got the harvest of artistic performance. The first heroine she played in Starlight, Starlight fired her first shot as a positive figure, and it was unstoppable from then on. On the stage of traditional Chinese opera, she has created a number of glorious images such as Gulandan, Fangfang, Er, Han Ying and Jin, and the opportunity to surpass the villains has finally come! The director thought it was a pity to let Xiaowan play the villain, so he arranged for her to play the No.1 heroine in the grand opera Starlight, Starlight. Wan Shanhong firmly grasped this opportunity, lived up to expectations, and became an instant hit with generous and dignified appearance, crisp and soft voice, and highly infectious vivid performance.
People finally began to admit that Xiaowan, a potential actor, can play both a villain and a positive role. Traditional Chinese opera is a comprehensive art, which has extremely strict requirements for actors' dramatic performance, dancing, dialogue between plays and singing. The longer Wan Shanhong swims in the ocean of art, the more he feels that he needs rich art reserves. Therefore, she took advantage of the gap between rehearsals and was admitted to the Social Conservatory of Music sponsored by the Central Orchestra for further study at her own expense. In three years, in addition to her vocal music major, she also systematically studied the history of Chinese and foreign music. Wan Shanhong, who is good at folk singing, is familiar with Bel Canto under the guidance of the famous musician Professor Weng Ruomei, and has mastered the western scientific vocal methods. This not only makes her more perfect in China folk songs and China operas, but also can sing arias.
After graduation, just in time for China Opera House to rehearse The Yellow River Cantata, Wan Shanhong resolutely participated in the selection of lead singer. This time, Wan Shanhong, who has been silent for three years, once again stepped onto the stage of China opera with her super singing skills. Colleagues praised her: "What an eternal fire!" At this time, Wan Shanhong had a clear goal: to integrate the essence of western opera into national opera, and to organically integrate bel canto into national singing, thus pushing China opera to a new milestone. From Gulantan and Heart of Grass to White-haired Girl and Red Guards of Honghu Lake, Wan Shanhong created glamorous images of Gulantan, Fangfang, Xi 'er and Han Ying in a series of operas, which made her famous in one fell swoop and was a successful attempt to explore the combination of Chinese and Western arts. Wan Shanhong is blowing a strong wind on the opera stage in China! In Yuan Ye, an opera adapted from Cao Yu's masterpiece, she successfully played the heroine Jin with bel canto, and won the Plum Blossom Award, the highest prize in China drama in 1 9 8 8.
This is an opera with high vocal skills, played by Bel Canto and symphony orchestra. It has long been included in China's music classics in the 20th century. At that time, the director couldn't believe that a person who hadn't studied orthodoxy in the Conservatory of Music was qualified to be the heroine of this opera. On the recommendation of the famous composer Qiao Yu, the director allowed her to have a try. "You can only play in Group C," Wan Shanhong said. "I don't care, even if it's Group F." In the end, Wan Shanhong achieved great success with his wonderful singing, superb acting and outstanding artistry.
Cao Yu said to her, "You have brought gold to life, and you are the gold in my mind." Ying Ruocheng, a famous performing artist, said after watching the performance: Wan Shanhong is a rare good actor. No matter on the opera stage or in China folk singing, she is equally radiant; Pregnant, she came on stage with a big belly, and a powerful song "Kucaihua, Blooming in March" won her the championship trophy. Although Wan Shanhong is very popular in the music industry, many people know her and are familiar with her, but it is more because she has heard her sing China folk songs.
Ode to Coral, bloom Red in Shandandan, Chinese Mother, Autumn Land, etc. , are full of flesh and blood and passion. Because she adopted the western scientific vocal method in national singing, it sounded unique, so it was equally dazzling in the music world, and she also held solo concerts in Shenzhen and Shanghai.
Over the years, after winning the Excellence Award of Peacock Cup National Vocal Music Grand Prix, she won the national singing professional group championship in the 4th National Young Singers TV Grand Prix with amazing perseverance and strength. At that time, she was already pregnant. Do you want to have a baby or take part in the competition? Ordinary people may only choose one, but Wan Shanhong wants two. She came out with a big belly, and the famous composer Shi Guangnan specially composed "Bitter Flower, Blooming in March" for her, which made the audience ecstatic.
Her singing and spirit touched the judges and thousands of TV viewers. When Wan Shanhong took the first prize, she smiled and put the trophy on her stomach, "Let the children take it with me" to share her joy.
Wan Shanhong won two top awards, Bel Canto and Folk Singing, which are unprecedented in the music industry, so many people praised her as "a talented actress in the music industry". Wan Shanhong said modestly, I am not a genius. I like singing since I was a child, and I have gradually made clear my direction of efforts. I will continue to explore the combination of the two singing methods and strive to make a difference.
Today, Wan Shanhong's singing has spread all over the country, and her singing has also stayed in the land of Europe, America, Hong Kong and Macao. "Being a singer"-Wan Shanhong's original dream has already come true; Nowadays, it has become Wan Shanhong's unremitting pursuit to create more brilliant achievements at the peak of his artistic career.
