Walking into "Dunhuang Daughter" in ten years, Mao Shanyu won the 17th Mandarin Performance Award

"Thanksgiving and" Dunhuang Daughter ", I hope this work can lead the Shanghai opera to a wider world." Mao Shanyu, a famous Shanghai opera performance artist, told reporters. The 17th Mandarin Award was awarded in Xiong'an New District on the evening of September 15th. Mao Shanyu won the "Wenhua Performance Award" with the corner of "Fan Jinshi" in "Dunhuang Daughter".

The night before the award, Mao Shanyu did not sleep well. She lay on the bed and created the ten -year journey of "Dunhuang Daughter" like a movie. The scene appeared in her mind. She thought of the life story about Fan Jinshi, the honorary dean of the Dunhuang Research Institute ten years ago, and Mo Gao's spirit deeply touched her heart with "choosing one thing, one lifetime"; she thought of entering the character, she and her and her The crew went to the Gobi Desert eight long distances; she also thought that three years ago "Dunhuang Daughter" and the Wenhua Award lost ...

The same "Shanghai daughter" with Fan Jinshi, Mao Shanyu admitted that Fan Jinshi's story touched the deepest desire and impulse of her heart. "As an art worker, I have the obligation to present such a character on the stage." However, Mao Shanyu never expected that "Dunhuang Daughter" was grinded for ten years, and the script experienced several times. "The trust and support of the Shanghai opera theater team is the biggest courage I insist on," Mao Shanyu visited this performance award as the crew, "everyone's efforts gave this role passion and love."

Zhou Xuan in "A Star", Fan Yi in "Thunderstorm", and Ruizhen in "Home" ... Mao Shanyu interpreted many classic Shanghai drama characters that are familiar with the audience, but she still feels that "Fan Jinshi" is special that one. "The image on the stage comes from a living person, an extraordinary archaeologist," Mao Shanyu said. "In the past, most of the characters I played were close to this color. Although Dean Fan was a Shanghai girl, she had already been with the land with that land, but she had been with that land with that land. The integration is together. "" I am from Dunhuang, the desert. "The singing in the play is Mao Shanyu's performance goal. She has been performed from the 25 -year -old Fan Jinshi to the age of 80. The age span is a great test for the actor." Body, sound, eyes, and gait must change with. "

During the ten years of interpreting "Dunhuang Daughter", Mao Shanyu and Fan Jinshi became confidant. Prior to the performance of the jury, Fan Jinshi, who was in Dunhuang, called Mao Shanyu. "You can play how you play, don't be nervous." A few simple words made Mao Shanyu's heart settle down at once. "Dean Fan has become my spiritual pillar. Without her as a benchmark, we may be Give up in the middle. "

The adventure brought the story of "Dunhuang daughter" to the Shanghai drama stage. Behind it was Mao Shanyu's awe of "Mogao's Spirit", and he also had determination to broaden the Shanghai opera pattern. "Shanghai Opera has never encountered such subjects, it is so far from our lives." In Mao Shanyu's view, Shanghai opera is mostly the theme of children's love. She hopes to use "Dunhuang Daughter" to inject more strength and confidence into the drama. "If we have something to do in this drama, the art of Shanghai opera may be able to go up and one step up again, truly synchronize with the times, and walk with the city."
