红楼寻梦

-
Not so long ago, I was just watching 红楼寻梦 on youtube. It was a competition held in China for Kunqu students. The top 6 winners will get the most important roles in their upcoming Kunqu production 红楼梦. Therefore, there will be 2 贾宝玉, 1 林黛玉, 2 薛宝钗, 1 王熙凤. 1 of the 2 贾宝玉 is a female sheng. She was very good and vWery handsome too! LOL... Of course the other dans selected to act 林黛玉 and 薛宝钗 were very pretty too. Watching them is really a 赏心悦目 thing. Pictures speaks a thousand words. I have got proof that the actresses are pretty!!! First of all, we have 贾宝玉: 林黛玉: 薛宝钗: Look they are so pretty! If they are not pretty then I dunno what is!!! I think that for a role like Jia Baoyu, it will be more suitable to get a female sheng to do it. This other male sheng, 施夏明 looks great in other productions but he doesn't look good as Jia baoyu. In fact I think he looks a little old. I found a video of the 4 main actors/actress performing a short clip of 红楼梦. When I hear the music of kunqu, I get goosebumps. I dunno why I am so head over heels by kunqu. It's really weird. REALLY creepy and weird... LOL Here is a video of 翁佳慧 during her 红楼寻梦 contest. Another very pretty dan, 单雯 was in the contest too for getting the role of 林黛玉. But she didn't win. Previously she did a production with 施夏明, 1699 桃花扇, which was a great success. I saw their performance when they came to singapore last year. (Yes, the one that I get to see my favourite Shi Xiao Mei) I am so looking forward to see their Dreams of the Red Mansion!!!

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...
