"Where are the monsters running? Eat my old grandson with a stick!" This is a classic line of Sun Wukong . Once " Journey to the West " was broadcast, it was popular all over the country, and the actor of Sun Wukong Liu Xiaolingtong gained a lot reputation.
Liu Xiaolingtong really brought Sun Wukong to life. His acting skills are so vivid that people can't help but be amazed, but do you know? He was born in the monkey king family, his father Liu Lingtong, is a senior monkey opera performer.
Monkey King Master Liu Lingtong
Liu Xiaolingtong plays the role of Monkey King vividly because he is inseparable from his father Liulingtong. In the early days, Liu Lingtong's father Zhang Yisheng founded "Zhang's Monkey Show".
But Zhang Yisheng didn't have the heart to devote himself to this cause. If he couldn't even eat enough food and he still devoted himself to the pursuit of his dream, he would be regarded as not doing a proper job. Then he mainly focused on farming at that time.
After the birth of his two children, he sent his sons to the troupe, hoping that the children can inherit the career he loves. With the deepening of the course, Zhang Yisheng's second son Zhang Zongyi showed a strong talent. Zhang Yisheng was very happy and decided to train him well. Zhang Zongyi was only six years old when he joined the opera troupe, hence his stage name Liulingtong. When the director of the
86 version of "Journey to the West" started casting roles, the most ideal Sun Wukong candidate in his mind was Liu Lingtong. In order to give the audience the best performance, Liu Lingtong actually raised monkeys at home. His main task every day is to observe the habits of monkeys. In the long run, his imitations are no different from real monkeys.
's art comes from life. It is precisely because of his long-term study that his performance has been recognized by everyone and gradually opened up his popularity. Whenever a generation of monkey kings is mentioned, the three words Liulingtong always pop up in my heart. .
In 1961, "Monkey King Three Beats the Bone Spirit" was released. This drama was well-made, and the actors' impeccable acting skills instantly swept the country. The film also won the second Hundred Flowers Award for Best Opera Film and was released to 72 countries around the world, gaining unanimous recognition from the public.
Liu Lingtong was very relaxed during the performance. He did not know that there were many leaders in the audience off the field. After the performance, when Liulingtong talked with the staff, he learned that the leader was fascinated by his own play. He applauded five times and laughed six times. So far, it is enough to see Liulingtong's artistic attainments.
pays attention to being lively in acting, Liu Lingtong did it, his image of the monkey king is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he has carried forward the Shao opera , and is committed to spreading traditional Chinese culture. Such professionalism is admirable, and his reputation as "Southern Monkey King" A well-deserved reputation.
Tang Seng saw off Liulingtong
Liulingtong dedicated his life to art, and still focused on studying acting skills in his later years. In this life, he played countless opera fragments.
But no matter when, as long as you pick out a line, he can always memorize it back and forth, and he does not forget to cooperate with his hand movements and body shape performances in the process of saying the lines. The serious and responsible attitude of the master is worth learning by everyone.
People are inherently mortal. When he was dying, Liu Lingtong was obviously confused, his thinking was chaotic, and he couldn't even eat, but the magic was that as soon as the children said, "It's time to act, Dad!" Huanhuan immediately threw himself into the working state. Perhaps, he was born for opera in his whole life.
The old man's wish is very simple. He hopes that future generations can continue to learn monkey opera. It cannot be said that they can learn all of them. Even if only one person in each generation learns, they must continue to carry forward monkey opera. The old man
always has a regret in his heart. In the eyes of his father, he is the most talented monkey opera worker. In his eyes, the successor to the monkey drama he is most optimistic about is Xiaoliulingtong Zhang Jinxing.
But things didn't work out. Xiao Liulingtong died unexpectedly due to illness when he was 17 years old. It was his eternal regret that he could not inherit the mantle. In order not to have no successors in the monkey opera, he began to raise his youngest son Zhang Jinlai, also known as Liu Xiaoling Tong. In order to train his youngest son,
found countless famous teachers for Zhang Jinlai, and also let him go to Shanghai Drama School for systematic study.With the role of "Monkey King", Xiaolingtong took over the baton from his father and fulfilled his father's wish.
In the winter of 2014, the piercing cold wind always makes people feel sad. The body of the six-year-old boy is not as good as before. As soon as the New Year was far away, he caught a cold, but this time he never recovered. At first,
just lay in bed to recuperate, but slowly his legs and feet began to suffer, and the basic skills that six-year-old children must practice every day can only be put on hold.
When everyone heard that the old man's body was ill, they went to visit them spontaneously. Liulingtong didn't want to worry everyone, and occasionally imitated the appearance of a monkey to amuse everyone.
On January 31, 2014, the old man left us peacefully. Liu Lingtong told his family that he would put the gold hoop and the costume in the coffin after his death, and the family did so!
Liu Lingtong loves opera so much, so after his death, he should also go to another world to perform his favorite monkey opera show for everyone! Elderly people are not common, and death at the age of 90 can be considered a happy mourning, but when I think that the person who died was a six-year-old child, I still feel sad.
, Chi Chongrui and attended the memorial service. He wanted to give the old man his last ride. You may not have heard of this name. If I said that he was the actor of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", you should suddenly realize it. !
Everyone spontaneously saw Liu Lingtong off
After learning the news of the old man's death, countless ordinary people secretly hurt themselves. Many unnamed people came to the memorial service spontaneously, and they wanted to send Liu Lingtong his last journey.
As the saying goes, do what you do and love what you do, it's really rare for an old artist like Liu Lingtong to be dedicated and performative. Today's performers will continue to magnify the hard work of the industry to win the sympathy of the audience.
Zhang Lao started to study art at the age of six. After mastering it, he has never given up on this business. He has been studying acting skills all his life, and constantly making adjustments and changes. His performance on the stage is enough to achieve the effect of being fake.
The audience can't feel that he is playing a monkey. During the process of watching, everyone will unconsciously think that this is a real monkey running into the stage. In order to play the monkey well,
's dedicated Liu Lingtong successfully mastered the basic living habits of the monkey during the long time spent with the monkey. He knows what the monkey's expression looks like when he is happy, angry, sad and happy, and he can perfectly interpret it on the stage.
One action, one expression, and even one look need to be constantly studied in order to present the best stage. Liu Lingtong did it, and he deserves the title of "Southern Monkey King". It is not easy for
to achieve the unity of man and monkey. Zhang Lao not only played the monkey well, but also cultivated an excellent successor for the country, that is his son Liu Xiaolingtong.
Although Liu Lingtong has left us forever, the Monkey King will not disappear, Zhang Lao's next generation is ready...
