CCTV Ads

-
There were alot of nice CCTV 11 advertisements. I remember seeing them when I was in Beijing some years ago and I liked the way they merge chinese painting with chinese opera. I especially like the one with Madam White Snake. It's so romantic. The feel was very good.



Here is one with the major role types, Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.



Here is one I quite like too. It counted the famous excerpts from 1 to 10.



A last one...



And this video is a documentry of Kunqu. The opening of this documentry reminds me of the stage models which AC made.. hee hee

Notice the dan at the beginning of the show is so god damn pretty! My god.. how can such pretty dan exist? And those eyes, mesmerising...

I like her.. and I like the way she moves too~!

Their trailers are good, but not the programmes they show.... hahaha... actually I feel that some regional TV stations have got better Chinese opera shows than CCTV 11 (in terms of variety), instead of just Peking opera almost all the time.

yah thats true .. i have not seen much of the regional tv station but I believe each regional tv station will have more opera shows of that region.

A very crowded troupe

3 more students joined COI. That officially makes COI GZX troupe a very crowded troupe. In fact, overly crowded. There are 21 students now and including Ang, we will have 22 actresses/actors. Ang is going to have problems squeezing in all the students into 1 show. I don't think there are lots of shows which have 22 roles. Bao Hua and Zhu Ying has joined us for some time so they are not considered newbie already (MD mentioned that they are newbies in his blog). The 3 newbies I am talking about are Wanru, Si Qing and Ai Qing. Si Qing and Ai Qing are not sisters. They just happened to have 'Qing' in their names. I have not taken pictures of Siqing and Aiqing but I will try to take some and blog. I have got a few pics of Wanru but I will blog another day. As usual, Ang did her usual rounds of asking whether the newbies want to be dan or be shengs. Frankly speaking, both roles are overly crowded already. Competition is getting strong but still, we are still harmoniously getting ...

Yesterday we had a performance at Holland Road Blk 2. I was doing the excerpt 'Broken Bridge' of Madam white snake and the others were doing Tang Bo Hu. I couldn't find a Xu Xian (YH dun like this role) so I got no choice but to ask Naiba for help. Heng he was free that day to help us. Kanglong found a very nice spot to take photos and everyone took photos at that spot.... I think this spot is nice too with the pillar behind and the flowers and the white background... Me and Naiba... Hmm, too bad his face kana hidden in shadow lor. Susan as green snake. I didn't realise that she was wearing the costume wrongly lor.. haiz, too late to inform her liao...

N+1

I was browsing the internet looking at opera related videos when I came across a song 'N+1' sang by Chris Lee. Man, I was surprised by the opera elements in the song! She combined hip hop and chinese opera (like Jay and Lee Hom) and the MTV is quite nice. It's like abit of hip hop dance and some chinese opera. Chris Lee even dressed up in opera 'wu dan' costume! Hee hee, but she looked a bit weird. Her actions are good but looks wise, weird. Ok, the MTV. I should learn to sing this song. Lol...
