Kunqu opera has its successors
"There Will Be Later Ones" was a large-scale revolutionary modern Kunqu opera. It was adapted from the classic film of the same name by the Changchun Film Studio in 1963. It told the heroic story of the China Party's underground workers fighting against the invaders to cover up and transfer secret cables during the Anti-Japanese War. This was the first large-scale modern Kunqu opera created by the Shanghai Kunqu opera troupe in the 43 years since its establishment. It was also a tribute and re-creation of the Shanghai opera, the Beijing opera "Red Lantern" and other similar classics. From the topic selection planning to the rehearsal synthesis and other aspects of his creation, he had a clear creative concept, which was based on the traditional aesthetics of Kunqu opera art. In terms of artistic performance, more than 30 Kunqu tunes were used in the whole play, and the creation method of "broken set and stored cards" was adopted. The tunes were selected according to the character's personality and the situation in the play. For example, when Li Yuhe was arrested and drinking, he chose "Nanji Xianbin" and "Wind Entering the Pine" to express different emotions. Re-structure the story, sort out the characters, and establish Li Tiemei as the number one character. Some of Grandma Li's core arias were composed by Zhang Jingxian and the tunes were chosen by her. In terms of performance, the lineup included the old, middle and young generations, including the four main actors (three generations of Kunqu opera people). For example, Luo Chenxue played Li Tiemei and successfully met the challenge; Wu Shuangyuan played Jingxing and broke the shackles of Gongdiao when playing Li Yuhe; Zhang Jingxian played Grandma Li and sang with her real voice to show the essence of singing; Cai Zhengren performed the unique Hatoyama as a high-ranking official. The actors and actresses on the stage combined the singing and chanting of modern languages with the emotions of the characters to carry out the artistic treatment of Kunqu opera, using a spoken rhyme. This play had accumulated valuable experience for the creation of modern Kunqu opera in terms of text writing, singing design, singing performance, stage art, etc., which strongly proved that Kunqu opera could perform modern opera well.

When performing tragic characters and people at the bottom of society, their costumes were often black (black was called "Qing" in ancient times, which was also one of the origins of the name Qing Yi). For example, Zhang Huoding played the role of Concubine Yu. As an actress of the Cheng School, she found a unique Cheng School performance style for the role of Concubine Yu when she performed Farewell My Concubine. From the singing to the performance movements, she carefully designed them, reflecting the uniqueness of the role creation of the Qing Yi in Beijing opera. 3. ** Inheritance and Development ** - In the course of development, it had undergone many reforms.

According to the genre, the Qingyi of Beijing opera can be divided into the Qingyi of the Plum Sect and the Qingyi of the Zhang Sect. The singing of the Plum Sect is simple and fresh, with a combination of hardness and softness, with the beauty of natural harmony; the singing of the Zhang Sect is vigorous and euphemistic, beautiful and fresh.
