宝宝简直太可爱！
这是我为我家熊宝宝新添购的衣服之一。
当我看到的时候，让我想起小飞霞在胡撇戏中的一个造型。我觉得这服装很酷。
服饰很类似吧，呵呵~~~

木兰的照片
木兰很喜欢拍照。最擅长就是拍舞台上演员的风采。
或许她懂戏，抓角度相当准确。
曾经拍过的演员有钱惠丽，单仰萍,吴凤花，吴素英，陈飞，郑国凤，王志萍，苏燕容，黄香莲，小咪，许亚芬，郭春美，许素云，小飞霞，小珑女等
纯粹是拍拍乐...^^
有时候要木兰为某演员拍照，木兰还不一定想要拍。要看她的心情。。。呵呵~~~
放上一张小飞霞的照片。我觉得拍得很不错哟。 ^^

Local Street Opera
No picture because I sent my digital camera for repair. (sob..sob)
Luckily I don't have to pay a single cent because it is still under a year of guarantee.
Initially they asked me to wait for a week but I told them that I couldn't. I need my camera. I will be out of town next week.
Went to Suntec for the Book Fair.
Disappointing...not much surprises.....I think worst than last year......
After dinner, went to GCB to watch a local street opera.
I stayed for a mere 15 minutes.
The "luo gu dian" is so much nicer but the actresses can't make it.
Not many audience, the place was so much quieter.
TW street opera may have its flaws however they draw massive audience.
TW street opera is more trendy and "exciting" compared to local ones.
One thing good about local street operas is that you don't see them holding hand mics...(LOL)

TW Street Opera - The Condor Hero
Never expect them to stage "The Condor Hero". (LOL)
It was this show that 小瓏女 got her nick.
How about 小飛霞?
Most probably she likes to "fly" about with the rope on stage? (LOL)
阿迈的“自以为是”
自以为是。。。。。。
- 对戏曲非常执著和热忱
- 看戏很有自己的观点
- 自己的戏曲片子收藏夸张和丰富
- 台上爱美又喜欢甩帅， 台下不爱打扮，穿着简单休闲
- 拥有自己的表演风格和唱腔
- 宜生宜旦 （所以常常“混乱”）
- 台上的小生绝对不会“娘”，台下的阿迈蛮“姑娘”的
- 方向感极差，常迷路
- 学东西快，但是忘东西也真不赖
- 感性，敏感，任性，糊涂，哭包，冲动，脾气大，吊儿郎当

心情欠佳
快放暑假了，但是我一点都提不起劲来。
前阵子将自己淹没在大锣大鼓热闹的歌仔戏中。
不完全投入精神看戏，倒是去听听歌仔戏的韵味。
有韵味，真好听。让我暂时不去烦，不去恼。
心情还在谷底。。。。。。
多一个星期，出国散心去。
回国的两天后就演出。
我不在的那段时间，是不会影响到排练进度的。
原本打算剪头发，因为娃娃生需要用到，朋友不给剪。
只好暂时按住。。。。。。
相信将会有一段时间，不为头发烦恼。。。。。。

百花山-吴凤花、陈飞
很不一样的吴凤花还有陈飞。
花儿姐真帅！！！！！！！
上回来新加坡公演的时候，曾听木兰说过，很好看。 尤其武打场面设计得非常棒。^^
我看到花儿姐的抢背。。。。好厉害。。。（这个我肯定做不来的，呵呵~~~）

早期的小飞霞
She looks so young and so pretty.
I heard that she became a troupe leader when she was barely 21 years old. She is the youngest TW street troupe leader so far.^^

扇子
我很喜欢扇子。
曾经拥有不少扇子，已被我"玩"残了。
木兰送我的金扇子在我去台湾公演前离奇失踪。
佩送我的日本扇子还锁在我的衣柜里，一直没有机会拿出来用。我也从没将它亮相在人的面前。。。只有木兰还有我家的熊宝宝看过而已。
常常陪我练习的旧扇子虽然已经破了，昨晚跟随我看戏去。呵呵~~~天气热，还真好用。^^

谢谢
收到吟吟的手机简讯，让我顿时觉得安慰也难过。
谢谢你的关心。你的简讯真的让我感动，虽然你只是知道我的心情很低落~~~
在逆境中求存是人生功课一部分，虽然痛苦但也学得很多~~~
这功课我确实做得不好，或许我的环境比较单纯，加上个性直接任性，想的也比较多。。。呵呵~~~
这次做得不好，相信下次会做得更好。
也非常感谢燕妮的关心。。。实在不好意思，耽误了你的时间。当时的我只想哭，觉得有点无助，只想哭。。。你的一句话让我很感动。。。你说当你的朋友很难过的时候，就算被团长骂了也不怕。我想该被骂的人是我才对。虽然我不怕被骂的，呵呵~~
昨晚排队买戏票的时候，遇到一位观众。
她微笑着问我什么时候有演出。
我一时反应不过来还反问她，
"演出？我的？你是指福建公会的演出吗？"
她点点头对我说很喜欢看我的戏，害我不懂如何作出反应，不好意思地频频对她说谢谢。
"这个月没有演出，下个月有一场。"
谢谢了她，就离去。
我太紧张，没对她说什么时候，什么地点。
我实在太不好意思了，每次有观众对我说喜欢我的时候，我真的不知如何反应。
6月16日将是我在福建公会芗剧团最后一场演出。^^
好玩好巧的是，我在福建公会芗剧团的第一个角色是娃娃生，最后一场也是演一名娃娃生。
看来我想摆脱娃娃生的命运还是摆脱不了。。。呵呵~~~

今晚阿迈要看戏去~~~^^
听戏的成分会比较多，呵呵~~~
思慧，我会帮你注意你家的小飞霞，呵呵~~~木兰应该会拍她，希望她不要一直去动她的小蜜蜂。只要将音乐调小就可以了，演员的声音是可以听到的。
昨晚的奇丑男子造型的小飞霞，说实在的，真的演得很不错。
把我给笑翻了!真的败给她~~~呵呵~~~
哈哈~~~很卡外依呢。^^

整容前后的小飞霞
上半场的小飞霞真得很可爱。她饰演驼背的长短脚奇丑的男子。
把自己丑化甚至不惜破坏形象的当家小生真的不多。这一点让我对小飞霞另眼相看。
再放一张丑丑但傻的可爱的小飞霞。
呵呵~~~真的很可爱~~~演得真不错。
“整容”后的小飞霞把站在观众席外的思慧给电傻了。
还有一张哟是给育英看的~~~呵呵~~~

抢背
一向来不会也怕“抢背”的我昨晚排戏的时候，竟然抢起背来。
还抢了至少有三次。。。。。。
感谢袁老师的指导，他只是对我说手要放在那里，就是没有示范出来。不过却让我心里有一点点大概知道要如何去做。只要说破，抢背真的没有我想象中的可怕。。。
虽然右腿还黑青一大块。我一定是什么地方做的不妥当，我会再去问问。
开心的是我竟然敢“面对现实”抢背，黑青那么一块算什么呢？
张珍就算来不及先“抢背”，小小山贼应该还可以吧？
我想学如何唱好歌仔戏的曲调。
那位大人愿意教我？

看戏成了“自甘堕落”？
木已成舟，尘埃若定的事实。。。奇迹是不可能会出现的。
最近我的心情真的很不好。我会尽力去调适我的心情。
学戏道路上不知看了多少年的戏。好看的，不好看的，我都看。
我在剧团有今天，一部分是我“看戏自甘堕落”而来的。
难道在众大人面前表现的“努力”才算是真正的努力吗？
默默的努力就不是努力了吗？
今晚我要去“自甘堕落”看戏去。
我还要存钱买门票看年尾的戏，“自甘堕落看戏”看到2008年！
为了“戏”，我的泪快流干了。
“自甘堕落”四个字，我的心已缺了一块。
我会尽力去调适我的心情。。。。。。

北部四大小生之一
我听过南部四大小生，前面三名还不错。。。第四位不提也罢。
刚有朋友对我说，小飞霞是北部四大小生之一。。。。。。
这所谓的南部，北部的小生。。。是如何评选的？
题外话，觉得这张照片拍得还不错。有感觉。（手上不去拿麦克，是不是好看多了？呵呵~~~）

Last Night's Rehearsal
We rehearsed the "Fish" last night.
Not really a disaster though still there are some imperfections.
XJ tried her level best to conquer some difficult gestures.
The "turnabout" action isn't that simple and easy. XJ tried but ended up dizzy.
I tried too. I got out of the "circle" somemore. According to XJ, my height made the movement even difficult to handle because I am tall.
Director Su is still the same irritating sort.
She bossed around and gave us "tips" on how we should do our "roundabout" movement.
I invited her to give it a try. I told her that since she knew her "theory" so well, she should try out the "practical".
As expected, she couldn't even complete her first turn.
The morale of this incident is;
Keep your big mouth shut and don't embarrass yourself unnecessarily. (LOL)

又见小飞霞
放上几张舞台照片。从昨天开始就已经收到手机简讯说想看看照片。
还是觉得没将麦克拿在手上的小飞霞比较好看。
原本还不错看的照片被手上的麦克给破坏美感，真的有点可惜。（观众听得到的，不要再将麦克拿在手上啦，音乐不要奏的太大声便可。）
若不要那两个圆圆的毛毛球，可能会好看些。（呵呵~~~）
哈哈~~~这张是给秀娟看的。。。就如小飞霞是给思慧看的。
还有这张嘛~~~是要给育英aka MK看的~~~(LOL)

小飞霞aka XFX
Just read MK's blog this morning.
I would like to quote from MK's blog.
"So we slowly swanter to GCB.. reached there at 11:15am. XFX was already practicing while the rest of the troupe were still sleeping. I can see that XFX is a very hardworking person. I kind of like her atittude actually.
She apologised to YX and Du.. told them that she is very sorry that yx and du have to now wait for the troupe to wake up when it should be the other way round.. the rest of the troupe should get ready on the stage and wait for du and yx.
She told yx that next day, she will make sure everybody is here then she will call up du and yx."
I have a soft spot for hardworking persons.
Even though XFX isn't that fantastic, at least she has the right learning attitude.
Great, some Brownie points for XFX.

小飞霞和小珑女(II)
今天的戏是昨晚的下半场。上半场演得比下半场好一些。。。今天的。。。实在太不怎么样，真的不好看。
妈妈说她不要再看了。。。当妈妈在我的耳中埋怨这里不好，那里不好。。。我心里早有数。
演员说了很多奇怪好笑的对白，唱了不少的流行歌曲。。。胡撇戏。
胡撇戏。。。还是看郭春美的比较好看。。。(LOL)
唱流行歌曲的小飞霞~~~
(I nearly fainted......)

小飞霞和小珑女
昨晚是我第二次去看小飞霞的歌仔戏。
剧情类似民权的[送亲缘]。（连主角的名字也一样哟）
他们昨晚的表现比起第一天感觉好多了。
我还看到许素云在我的面前走过，害我眼前一亮，因为我相当喜欢听许素云的唱腔。
不知是不是许前辈坐在贵宾席中，感觉小飞霞好像比较卖力演出？
另外，小飞霞在中场休息的时候，出来唱了一段鼓励观众前来支持。。。我觉得蛮不错的。。至少听起来好听舒服。^^
我想我明天会带妈妈去看戏。 ^^
怎么办？我想学唱歌仔戏！ 学了十来年的芗剧，我能学会唱歌仔戏吗? 最基本。。。我得去掉残留在我的唱腔得“芗腔”吧......
用我的数码相机拍的小飞霞的演出片段，效果还可以吧。。。我想。^^
P.S. They have "kissing" scenes (2 only) which I find quite nice. ^^ Not yucky at all, they are acceptable and nice. (LOL)
I know some can't accept such scenerio. Why not just forget their true identities and see them as 剧中人? As long as the feel is right, I can accept such arrangement. ^^

Big Things For Small Individuals
Leader started her troupe when she was in her 20s.
At about this age, I performed one of China's famous classics - Dreams of the Red Mansion in Victoria Theatre.
XJ just finished her ACCA and yet to fulfil her childhood dream as an opera singer.
For small individuals like us, I think Leader has done the most difficult job.
I must quote XJ,
"Indeed Not Easy"

From their website, I realised that both of them started from scratch.
團主兼當家小生/小飛霞
非歌仔戲世家出身，更沒有家族事業的奧援，全憑一股對歌仔戲的熱忱及使命，從1980年創立〔翔鈴歌劇團〕( 自 2001 年起更名為〔小飛霞歌劇團〕) 至今，即使面臨外來文化的衝擊、時代的變遷對歌仔戲生存環境的壓縮下，仍舊堅持表演崗位—「一路走來，始終如一」。
當家苦旦/小瓏女
從一個單純的台下觀眾躍身為一位舞台專職演員，在沒有任何歌仔戲的家世背景下，全憑興趣及執著投身歌仔戲的行列迄今，並與小飛霞一起投入小飛霞歌劇團的事業。
Extracted from XFX's Opera Troupe.
It is not easy to maintain such passion especially in maintaining a street opera for more than a decade. XFX is the youngest TW street opera troupeleader so far. I think she is only in her 30s.
Though XFX isn't my cup of tea, I find XFX's passion and determination towards her troupe admirable. ^^
Yueju Pan Jinlian
I like this duo, Wu Fenghua Vs Wu Suying.
Their partnering is superb, I just like their feel. ^^
I have seen a few versions of "Pan Jinlian" in different genres. The lst genre I saw was Chuan Opera many years back.
It wasn't common during that time as "Pan" wasn't a favourite show among the opera circle. (That's what I have heard of)
In recent years, different genres started to perform "Pan".
So far I have watched versions of Yueju, GZX,Teochew, Xiangju and Gaojia Opera.
All were quite similar except for GZX. The script itself can be quite controversial but the setting is not too bad except for some of its actors.
Lots of scripts display Pan as a wretchful and shameless slut. However many have missed the poor and helpless side of Pan.
Pan was forced to marry Wu Dalang as she refused to give in to her master's undesirable wish.
It was only when she first met Wu Song that she realised Wu Song's the man that she loved.
In the GZX version, Wu Song was attracted to Pan and he tried to control himself not to fall in love with Pan.
There was a line which disturbed me quite a while...
武松: 你永远是我的阿嫂! (He ran away after saying this line which left Pan stunned and hurt.)
Perhaps you may not be able to comprehend just by looking at this line. It was the tone that the actress used that wrenched my heart a little.
From there, I gathered that Wu Song had already fallen in love with Pan just that he was not able to accept her.
I think Pan was a brave woman who dares to love. Loneliness and devastation finally drove Pan to lose all hopes and the only refuge that she sought was to die in Wu Song's hands.
Bloated Tummy
I went to work with a bloated tummy and gastic pain yesterday.
I didn't go and see a doc then cos I thought that I could endure it for the whole day. However it proved me wrong and I felt uncomfortable and miserable throughout the day. It dampen my mood and spirits.
The staff from my clinic called me up yesterday informing that I missed my review which I supposed to go a forthnight ago.
I really forgot all about it as I was too busy and occupied with my work.
So I went back to Doc after my work.
I took my medicine cos the pain was pissing me off. Doc told me that it would go away soon after I took my medicine.
Somehow or rather, the pain stayed though not as persistant as it was in the afternoon. Still it didn't seem to uplift my mood.
After the consultation, I went to KH. It was not a good idea to cancel though I wished to.
It is so hard to get a free slot nowadays and I better treasure such opportunity.
XJ and I learnt our FISH songs. It was then XJ realised that my songs are difficult to sing especially the last two scenes. On top of my bloated tummy and gastric, I sang......I think still sang not too bad though it hurt me when I sang.
ML was there exercising and stretching her legs. XJ got too distracted that she forgot to sing her lines and somemore sang the wrong words. I think she got too "horrified" to see such "wonder legs". (LOL)

Some More Goodies
I received two more goodies from TW.
They are Yu Opera of The Honan Opera Troupe of The National Guoguang Opera Company. ^^
Many thanks to my TW friend who helped me to get them. ^^

Wu Fenghua's Lu Wenlong
Yueju celebrated its 100th birthday last year.
Wu acted an excerpt of Lu Wenlong. ^^
One of my favourite Yueju Xiaoshengs. ^^
So Happy!!!!!! (II)
All at a glance at my latest opera collection!
Impressive, desu ka
At a closer look Part I
At a closer look Part II
At a closer look Part III
Million thanks to ML and her friend. ^^
TW Opera At Temple
The exciting moment for TW Opera fans is here.
The temple will stage about 100 opera nites around this time of the year.
A TW opera troupe is invited to perform for 2 weeks and they debuted last night.
Out of curosity, ML and I went to take a lookie.
I met YH and noticed that she has slimmed down alot. She's getting prettier. ^^
I have not seen her for quite some time since SJ came.
I was telling her that it was my lst time watching XFX TW opera and it was hers too. I told her that hopefully this troupe would be able to sing and she replied that she heard that this troupe's singing abilities weren't that fantastic.
ML and I left at around half past 9. We didn't hold any high expectations thus I wasn't that "affected" after watching the show. (LOL)
ML told me not to criticise too critically online. (LOL) I want to...to share my own personal opinions of this troupe. But first I must STRESS that they are just my personal opinions so no offence please. (Remind me of Shanice aka BBQ's blog on the Charity Nite...She was so worried that she might get "humpthumb" by GZX fans...haha.)
Music:-
We didn't like the effect of the drums and cymbals...Jargon term, we called it "Luo Gu Dian". It sounded too dim as it sounded too muffled. ML loves the local's "luo gu dian". She told me that they practically sound "magical" to her and the "kok ki kok" just mesmerised her.
Too much "ang mo luo kor"...lots of "bong bong bong" towards the end of each musical phrase.
Music was simply just too LOUD! The actresses had to shout even though they had the mics.
Conclusion:-
SJ's music sounded much better than XFX's especially the "luo gu dian".
Artistes:-
XFX VS SJ
XFX's physical appearance is her "strength" however I'm not very pleased with the way she carried herself on stage. The way that she walks, moves, gestures barely meet the passing criteria of a TW Sheng. There is no "air" in her. Her pictures "perform" better than her in actual person.
It is quite a pity though as she has the height and the mass seems perfect on stage.
Singing wise, passable but not outstanding.
SJ loses out in physical appearance and singing. However she has the air of a sheng which I feel is very important for a TW sheng.
SJ put in more effort in presenting herself on stage which I feel is commendable.^^
XLN VS LZ
XLN is pretty no doubt. Once she opened her mouth to speak and sing...gosh..."qi zhi" plummetted.
ML and I were trying so hard to hold back our "shock"...we just looked at each other...
Dans oh dans...please...please...never never shout till you squeal....Just too horrifying.
LZ's singing is pleasant and soothing. She has more "qi zhi" than XLN though the latter is much younger.
Dans on dans....go for "qi zhi" not "hairpieces". (LOL)
Costumes:-
TW street opera costumes go for loud and shiny outlook. The more "ka chang ka chang", the more the merrier......(LOL)
"Ka chang ka chang" costumes are never my cup of tea.
XFX's costumes for last night were not too bad...not so much of a "ka chang"...In fact some designs are quite nice.
One fun discovery...they must have bought rolls of the same material and have them made into costumes of similar designs for TOP Sheng, TOP Dan and 2nd Sheng.
Only these three roles had the clip-on mics......the rest used hand mics.
(I hate to see actresses using hand mics...but it is very common in TW's streets.)
Script:-
Head shaking.......Not many TW opera scripts are able to capture my heart so far.
The script dims the image of dans......making them seem too frivolous and flirty.
One irony ... audience somehow likes to watch the sheng and dan "flirt" on stage.
Surprisingly, they have a fair bit of fans.
Again, money has been "thrown" in and I am not the least surprised to see hundreds of dollar bills pasted on the sides of the stage.
The temple will stage about 100 opera nites around this time of the year.
A TW opera troupe is invited to perform for 2 weeks and they debuted last night.
Out of curosity, ML and I went to take a lookie.
I met YH and noticed that she has slimmed down alot. She's getting prettier. ^^
I have not seen her for quite some time since SJ came.
I was telling her that it was my lst time watching XFX TW opera and it was hers too. I told her that hopefully this troupe would be able to sing and she replied that she heard that this troupe's singing abilities weren't that fantastic.
ML and I left at around half past 9. We didn't hold any high expectations thus I wasn't that "affected" after watching the show. (LOL)
ML told me not to criticise too critically online. (LOL) I want to...to share my own personal opinions of this troupe. But first I must STRESS that they are just my personal opinions so no offence please. (Remind me of Shanice aka BBQ's blog on the Charity Nite...She was so worried that she might get "humpthumb" by GZX fans...haha.)
Music:-
We didn't like the effect of the drums and cymbals...Jargon term, we called it "Luo Gu Dian". It sounded too dim as it sounded too muffled. ML loves the local's "luo gu dian". She told me that they practically sound "magical" to her and the "kok ki kok" just mesmerised her.
Too much "ang mo luo kor"...lots of "bong bong bong" towards the end of each musical phrase.
Music was simply just too LOUD! The actresses had to shout even though they had the mics.
Conclusion:-
SJ's music sounded much better than XFX's especially the "luo gu dian".
Artistes:-
XFX VS SJ
XFX's physical appearance is her "strength" however I'm not very pleased with the way she carried herself on stage. The way that she walks, moves, gestures barely meet the passing criteria of a TW Sheng. There is no "air" in her. Her pictures "perform" better than her in actual person.
It is quite a pity though as she has the height and the mass seems perfect on stage.
Singing wise, passable but not outstanding.
SJ loses out in physical appearance and singing. However she has the air of a sheng which I feel is very important for a TW sheng.
SJ put in more effort in presenting herself on stage which I feel is commendable.^^
XLN VS LZ
XLN is pretty no doubt. Once she opened her mouth to speak and sing...gosh..."qi zhi" plummetted.
ML and I were trying so hard to hold back our "shock"...we just looked at each other...
Dans oh dans...please...please...never never shout till you squeal....Just too horrifying.
LZ's singing is pleasant and soothing. She has more "qi zhi" than XLN though the latter is much younger.

So Happy!!!!!! (I)
A PLEASANT SURPRISE from ML!!!!!!
New stuff to add to my collection. ^^
Just grabbed a few out of some that I received today. ^^
A closeup to share. ^^
Air Clears A Little
The air between me and the TOP clears a little...
Perhaps we start to share how many squares we are left with kind of clear the air between us.
Anyway, it is a good sign for both of us.
Kanbantte......

Hobbies
I'm thinking of having new hobbies besides my current Chinese Opera.
I will still continue my blogging because I simply love to blog.
Perhaps can consider taking up Yoga as ML ever suggested to me quite some time ago.
Most probably will read more books if I have the time.
Shall still buy and watch my favourite Chinese opera genres. However I may want to auction some away to clear my already too occupied cupboards and chests.
So if you are interested in chinese opera discs, especially Yueju(Shaoxing) operas or some other genres, drop me an email. (LOL)
Any other nice hobbies to suggest?
(Er...no bird-watching, Hahahaha~~~)

"Motivated"
XJ smsed me telling me that TOP has improved alot on her "one-legged spilt" and that made her very envious. Thus she wants to try hard too.
Good motivation for XJ.
Bet TOP will still practise hard everyday.
What about XJ?
This "horse" hard to bet on, uncertain......may or may not reach the finishing point in first three places.
Depends on her mood. (LOL)

“開口飯是氣飯！”－ 我看《粉墨春秋》
邊吃晚餐，邊看電視，轉台的時候在鳳凰衛視看到梅蘭芳先生的照片，及於對戲曲的熱愛，便決定“鎖定”這台。
節目正介紹梅蘭芳先生的京劇電影，甚至有早期的京劇默片，這些1930年前後的作品是非常珍貴的。
節目把京劇四大名旦的其中三位，也就是梅、程和尚的電影都介紹完了，唯獨欠缺荀。
其中一位受訪者表示深感遺憾，我也有同感。我對京劇認識不深，是看了劉長愉的表演才喜歡上荀派的活潑俏皮。
可惜荀先生並沒有留下任何珍貴的影像，荀先生在舞台上的風采也只能靠自己想像吧！
到了廣告時間才知道這個節目叫做“《粉墨春秋》－但留歌舞在人間”，訴說京劇的歷史和演變。
從梅蘭芳時代的默片一直說到廣為流傳的樣板戲，到新世紀也許是最後一部京劇電影的樣板戲《江姊》。
京劇會沒落嗎？這個誰也不能預知吧。
讓我印象最深刻的是在節目尾聲的時候，聽到老前輩們道出這一行的心酸。
“開口飯不好做……”
“這是氣飯！知道不？”
“開口飯苦啊，這個圈子雜呀！”
“開口飯，得罪了誰也不知道。”
看看現今的娛樂圈，不也是這樣嗎？
我之前參与過的業餘團體不也是這樣嗎？業餘都這樣了……
當觀眾最好唷！

两大门派
号外！号外！
武林中出现了两大门派。
那两派？
惊动万教的两大门派。
他们是分为镇守在右边的唱腔派还有左边的动作派。
唱腔派如其名，平均的强项是唱腔，包装还有勇于新尝试的精神。
动作派有权威但时而保守，动作搞得有声有色，演技一流无人能比。
分派不一定不好，重点是维持武林治安稳定。
不管是哪一门派，学艺是无止境的，常演常新。出戏出人材，出戏出"流派"。 （呵呵~~~）

主角
“主角”果然魅力无穷，可以令一个人花一大手笔，甘愿自掏腰包。平时不舍得买的，接到了主要角色，眉头也不皱，把心一狠，哪怕只是一场主角戏，戴上好几百块钱的头套，也心甘情愿。
不管你是大角还是小角，只要有那么一天，非常幸运地被选上某剧中的第一男或女主角，钱还是多少要花一点。
本星期最热门的样品是台湾头套。
不管小生的好，花旦也罢，台湾头套是宠儿。
有些演员并不看好台湾歌仔戏，但是对台湾头套还是瞒热衷的。
好玩的事，既然这些演员对台湾歌仔戏没舍信心，怎么对台湾歌仔戏的头套那么“热心”呢？
和其他大剧种相比之下，歌仔戏确实比较不成熟。但是歌仔戏还是很有它自个的魅力和价值存在的。
当你轻视幼苗的时候，请望望那参天的大树！

唱腔
每次上唱腔课多少有点压力。虽然唱腔不算是我的弱项，但也不算出色的那种。
有人说我的音质清脆干净，咬起字来还算清楚，就是少了韵味和实在感。
老师似乎比较喜欢听真嗓子的唱法，而我自从学了芗剧多年，已经习惯运用真假声混合法。
在转腔方面有些虚，我想这就是运气不当而导致的。
唱得不好，可以再来。
只要有心，不怕不成功。
加油吧，阿迈！！！

07新版越剧电影红楼梦演员访谈
Gosh, they are making a 2007 "Romance of Red Dreams Chambers" movie.
Starred by Xu-style Xiaosheng Zheng Guofeng and Wang-style Dan Wang Zhiping.
民乐版越剧《红楼梦》
基本保留1958年电影《红楼梦》特点，由郑国凤、王志萍领衔主演。唱腔、服装、舞美上展现传统越剧特有的古典韵味，恢复1962年电影中因受时间限制而删去的部分唱段。戚派花旦金静在片中扮演薛宝钗并改唱袁派，原浙江小百花越剧团的黄依群和俞会珍分别扮演紫鹃和贾母，杭州越剧院的梅花奖得主谢群英扮演王熙凤。
I WANT this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Script
I dug up the script. It was stacked in between some books on the shelf. The somewhat familiar lines and yet I can't seem to "crystallise" them into my head.
I don't know why. Perhaps I need more concentration.
YN's not keen in Butler Diao.
Then YN has to go and tell Her Supreme One herself that she isn't a suitable candidate for this role.
Good luck and may Lady Luck smiles on you though I think Her Supreme One may be frowning upon you. (LOL)

Qing Jian Heng
XJ just reported that tomorrow will be rehearsing on "Qing Jian Heng".
I'm doing a baddie role who tries to steal someone's precious zither, sword and fortune. Not only that, I lust after someone's wife and beat up my wife instead.
This show was first brought up on stage in early 90s and this role was done by veteran actor. I was a newbie then.
Never did I expect that one of these days, I had to take up this role.
Though it is a badie role, I like this role. Even the TOP would like to lay her fingers on. (LOL)
However, this show has a danger of being shelved if YN does not take up the role of the Butler Diao.
If it does happen, this will be my 2nd lead show that has been shelved this year.
A coincidence? Or too much of a coincidence?
Anyway, I have no say.
I just try my best in my part.
First of all, I must dig up the script first. ^^

Tired......
Just reached home, the traffic on the road was considered okie. Usually at this time of the day, traffic can really suck. I hate traffic congestions, they make me more tired.
Is the Supreme One back from Brunei? Tomorrow is Saturday again. Besides Singing class, what are we going to rehearse tomorrow?
I am expecting some goodies. I hope ML will bring me good news soon.
Exactly what goodies I am not sure of. I let ML decide. Hope she gets the stuff that I hope to have. ^^

Fedup N Paranoid
Lots of admin matters to tend to. Have been bustling in and out like an angry busy bee.
The last day of the work week and yet so fedup.
Anyway, still have lots of stuff to do in the afternoon.
Hope to get out of the workplace not more than 6pm, PLEASE!!!

歌仔戏实验小剧场《孟姜女哭长城》
看了我有点受不了~~~
这是什么戏呀？幸好当初随剧团去宜兰公演，没有赶上厦门的实验歌仔戏。
不然我真的会当场傻呆，然后很有可能控制不了会大笑一番。
剧中的孟姜女除了唱歌仔戏，还唱了黄梅戏，京剧。。。还有让人不可思议的Titanic主题曲。
我差点晕到~~~
怪不得，问她的孟姜女排了如何。。。她也不怎么对我说。。。我想说不上来吧~~~
或许是实验剧，所以剧本构思得比较大胆，比较另类吧。
燕子，我还是比较喜欢你的传统戏。
不过，我还是相当喜欢春风剧团的歌仔戏实验剧-[飞蛾洞]呢。

Bai Yin Fei
This is a very sad video clip, the lovers are actually siblings and they can't be together. I remember watching this show in Teochew opera done by a local amatuer troupe many years back.
The title [琼浆玉露] sounds so nice but it actually means poison wine.
Bai Yin Fei has retired from stage.
Though I am not a fan of Bai, I still feel quite upset to learn about this news.
No wonder Yang has risen in recent years.
Even Zhao Haiying has left the stage after getting the acclaimed Plum Flower Award. (Just read from some online news.)
Sighz......
I wonder is the current TOP of Ningbo Xiaobaihua Yueju Troupe, a Xu-style xiaosheng - Zhang Xiaojun?
I think should be Zhang Xiaojun if the troupe follows by its hierarchy.
Another Yueju Drama
I have this show but too lazy to cut it.
So I searched from potato net.
Bingo...... Here is the clip.
For me, I rather buy authentic discs because I enjoy watching super clear quality instead of watching from online flashplayers.
The clips online are simply too blurrish and can be frustrating at times.

Love At First Sight
Dug up a yueju that I bought years ago.
Actually I find Bai Yinfei(the xiaosheng) quite nice-looking, just that her singing seems not to be so much as the typical Fan-style.
Bai is the TOP of Ningbo Yueju Troupe, the same troupe as Yang Weiwen.
I wonder how is Bai now?

TW Operas In Popular Demand
歌仔戏光碟受欢迎
早报讯（记者林泽贵）记者昨日从晋江市区几家音像品经营店了解到，近来歌仔戏光碟很受欢迎。
记者昨日来到一些音像品店，想购买一些台湾歌仔戏和闽南芗剧的光碟，却发现一些春节前还在货架上的歌仔戏连续剧已经不见了。记者在一家音像店看到，正在选购歌仔戏碟片的人不少。
据了解，购买歌仔戏光碟的多为中年妇女，年轻人也不少。一些正在选购歌仔戏光碟的年轻人告诉记者，买碟主要是要孝敬爷爷奶奶的，但有部分年轻人承认自己也很喜欢看歌仔戏。
业内人士认为，台湾歌仔戏光碟的畅销，说明了戏曲艺术如果与时俱进，不断改革，体现时代特征，还是有很大市场的。

漳州慧群芗剧团
图为燕艺小百花歌仔戏团正为赴马来西亚演出而紧张地排练着。
沈逸亭 胡燕玲文图
近日，细雨朦胧，记者慕名来到石码锦江道新州尾歌仔戏团排练场采访刚从马来西亚演出回来的黄玉惠团长。一间简陋的水泥房，一边放着剧团的戏装箱，一边一层布帘隔开搭着演员们的床铺。中间空地一群年轻演员正排练。就是在这样的场所演练出让马来西亚民众叹为观止的戏剧。
二00六年九月—二00七年一月十七日，漳州慧群歌仔戏团在马来西亚槟城、吉达、安顺、太平等七个城市连续四个月演了一百一十场，场场爆满，每一个地方都刚一演完戏就接到观众送来的锦旗，并当场签定明年的演出合约。回国之前，慧群歌仔戏团与马来西亚又签下了五个月一百多场今年的戏，比去年延长一个月的演出时间。
深受闽南民众喜爱的民间歌仔戏团
正看着演练，黄玉惠团长出来了，虽穿着便装但依然亮丽不减，白晰的皮肤，高挑的身材，平静自然的笑容，沉稳中闪着智慧的光芒。
黄玉惠团长泡好热茶，与笔者边喝边聊。她说她十六岁就开始演戏，二十一岁就荣获中国首届民间艺术歌仔戏个人最佳表演奖，至今已有二十多年了。慧群歌仔戏团是个民间剧团，前身是客联欢会歌仔戏团，成立于二000年，全团共有团员三十名，男女各半，其中有七名是各类乐器好手，演员二十三名，平均团员年龄是二十二岁。在剧团里黄玉惠既当团长又当演员，自己设计服装、自己收学徒、培训学员，由于演技好、质量高，深受厦门、漳州百姓喜爱，每年都要演二百多场，厦门的曾厝安、、漳州的百花村每年都要邀请他们演上二十多场。
二00六年五月，闻名而来的马来西亚西马企业总代理吴亚荣先生三次到漳州暗地里观看该剧团演出，并先后考察了十多个剧团，最后选定慧群芗剧团，并与该团签定了四个月一百一十场的演出合约。
黄玉惠说“这是我们剧团首次出国演出，责任与荣誉并存，代表的不仅是慧群歌仔戏团的演出，而是国际间的一种文化交流，代表的是中国，我们严格排练，下决心要让国际友人欣赏到最好、最精彩的表演。”为保证此次出国能让马来西亚的观众欣赏到代表闽南漳州特色的民间戏种歌仔戏最精彩的演出，该剧团投资购买道具、音响等新设备，又请来了国家中级导演苏中文导演，为出国演出选定准备了最引人入胜的十多个剧目—《孟丽君》《千里姻缘》、《石花姑》等十多个引人入胜的拿手好戏。为使演技达到最高水平，演员们每天早晨六点就开始练腿功、腰功、三板功等，认真阅读剧本，体会剧本角色的性格特点，全身心投入角色，出神入化的展现角色的原来形象。
马来西亚演出反应热烈
“这次是中国漳州慧群歌仔戏演出的盛况空前，也是当地近二十多年来不曾有的现象。这应该是中国歌仔戏团带来的新格局，新气象引来观众如痴如醉观赏。”马来西亚安顺市福顺宫署理主席陈友来脸上溢满兴奋之情。
兴奋的不只陈友来一人，漳州慧群歌仔戏团成立五年来第一次跨出国门就能深受马来西亚观众的热捧，更让该团长黄玉惠喜出望外，黄玉惠告诉笔者这次到马来西亚四个月演出是她这一生最激动的日子。每一场戏观众的热烈反应让她深受感动，特别是在安顺市的六个夜晚，让她永生难忘。回国一周，马来西亚戏迷打来的电话不断，十多个戏迷还订了飞机票，准备这个月底赶到漳州，观看黄玉惠和慧群歌仔戏团团员在龙海的演出。
漳州慧群歌仔戏团安顺演出共六晚，每晚观众都把现场挤得水泄不通，由于剧团所献演的剧情扣人心弦，加上布景声乐都是一绝，更加上演员年轻化，慕名观剧者众。特别是演完最后一场时，观众久久不愿离开，许多戏迷还跑到后台围着演员，和演员抱成一团，舍不得演员走。
同时，漳州慧歌仔戏团团风格好，声艺俱佳，歌仔戏在马来西亚演出，不仅年迈观众很多，年轻观众也不少。而且，闽籍以外的他乡籍观众亦不少。
“观赏漳州歌仔戏演出实有引人入胜之慨，晚间没有特别事故我都会陪家人或自己到戏场观赏歌仔观演出。”马来西亚农业及农基工业部副部长拿督马袖强特别助理杨宝龙。
今年一年黄玉惠大部分时间又将在马来西亚演出了。为满足马来西亚戏迷们的要求，黄玉惠决定春节过后就带另一剧团——燕艺小百花歌仔戏团赴马来西亚演出演出四个月，下半年又要带团出国演出五个月。完 (中新社福建分社专稿部供稿)

近日，细雨朦胧，记者慕名来到石码锦江道新州尾歌仔戏团排练场采访刚从马来西亚演出回来的黄玉惠团长。一间简陋的水泥房，一边放着剧团的戏装箱，一边一层布帘隔开搭着演员们的床铺。中间空地一群年轻演员正排练。就是在这样的场所演练出让马来西亚民众叹为观止的戏剧。
二00六年九月—二00七年一月十七日，漳州慧群歌仔戏团在马来西亚槟城、吉达、安顺、太平等七个城市连续四个月演了一百一十场，场场爆满，每一个地方都刚一演完戏就接到观众送来的锦旗，并当场签定明年的演出合约。回国之前，慧群歌仔戏团与马来西亚又签下了五个月一百多场今年的戏，比去年延长一个月的演出时间。
深受闽南民众喜爱的民间歌仔戏团
正看着演练，黄玉惠团长出来了，虽穿着便装但依然亮丽不减，白晰的皮肤，高挑的身材，平静自然的笑容，沉稳中闪着智慧的光芒。
黄玉惠团长泡好热茶，与笔者边喝边聊。她说她十六岁就开始演戏，二十一岁就荣获中国首届民间艺术歌仔戏个人最佳表演奖，至今已有二十多年了。慧群歌仔戏团是个民间剧团，前身是客联欢会歌仔戏团，成立于二000年，全团共有团员三十名，男女各半，其中有七名是各类乐器好手，演员二十三名，平均团员年龄是二十二岁。在剧团里黄玉惠既当团长又当演员，自己设计服装、自己收学徒、培训学员，由于演技好、质量高，深受厦门、漳州百姓喜爱，每年都要演二百多场，厦门的曾厝安、、漳州的百花村每年都要邀请他们演上二十多场。
二00六年五月，闻名而来的马来西亚西马企业总代理吴亚荣先生三次到漳州暗地里观看该剧团演出，并先后考察了十多个剧团，最后选定慧群芗剧团，并与该团签定了四个月一百一十场的演出合约。
黄玉惠说“这是我们剧团首次出国演出，责任与荣誉并存，代表的不仅是慧群歌仔戏团的演出，而是国际间的一种文化交流，代表的是中国，我们严格排练，下决心要让国际友人欣赏到最好、最精彩的表演。”为保证此次出国能让马来西亚的观众欣赏到代表闽南漳州特色的民间戏种歌仔戏最精彩的演出，该剧团投资购买道具、音响等新设备，又请来了国家中级导演苏中文导演，为出国演出选定准备了最引人入胜的十多个剧目—《孟丽君》《千里姻缘》、《石花姑》等十多个引人入胜的拿手好戏。为使演技达到最高水平，演员们每天早晨六点就开始练腿功、腰功、三板功等，认真阅读剧本，体会剧本角色的性格特点，全身心投入角色，出神入化的展现角色的原来形象。
马来西亚演出反应热烈

Labour Day
I spend the whole day at home.
Most of the time reading my thriller and I have completed more than half of the book. What's an achievement as I hardly have the time to read though I try to.
My body still aches. It's the post effects of the dance class. Guess age is catching up with me. I ache after each basic dance class.
ML is sick. She's running a slight fever and is down with a runaway nose.
Bobo Bear is grumpy and grouchy. He's stuck with me at home and is supposed to have his holiday out.
XJ spent her afternoon in KH burying herself amongst the old pictures along with the non-kakis.
YN didn't honour her words last night to come online and kept me waiting fruitlessly. She fell asleep and woke up pretty late this morning. YN's blog is as stagnant as before. Feel the urge to erase her blog...(LOL)...That reminds me of what BBQ told me before. (LOL)
K smsed ML asking for her response whereas poor sick ML has to ask me to return a msg to her telling her that she's not well.
No news of WMY and SH. If one is MIA, the other most probably follow suit. (LOL)
BBQ aka Shanice is burying her nose in her books. Her exam is this week and she is more or less freaked out.
AC has recently formatted his pc and hence some of the pictures are now in its discovery stage. I hardly see him online recently.
Tomorrow's working day......How I wish I can have a week of hols like the Chinese. (LOL)
