Dans

-
I have blogged about dans before long long time ago. Last friday, I went to stay overnight with YH at May's home. On the way to 7-11 to get some tidbits, we were talking about Mei Lan Fang. May know nuts about Mei Lan Fang but YH knows abit. She told me that the library has alot of books about Mei Lan Fang and asked me about her. She at least knows that Mei Lan Fang is a man. May was surprised that he is man because of his feminine name.

I asked May,"Tot I got blog about it before? Aiyoh, you forgot ah??"

So now, I am going to re-blog about MLF and some different kinds of dans.

One of Mei Lan Fang's most famous photo from his 'Sheng Si Hen'. I like this photo very much because his expression is very nice.

Him in his younger days. This photo also very nice, got FEEL~

A Mei Lan Fang DVD set. This photo was taken when he was very young too.

Another of his famous 'zao xing' as Concubine Yang. There is another famous photo of this role but I can't find it on the net.

Mei Lan Fang is the second one from the right.

He even got his own musuem and sculpture.

May, you cannot imagine how famous he is lor. He even received 2 PHD from 2 universities in the US and at like I told you, the money he was paid for each of his performance is enough to buy a small house at that time.

Haha.. that time we were talking about him and may say he very luan.. He is a dan and he got a son who is also a dan. Then he also got a daughter who is laosheng. He then got another lover outside (dan can also have so many lovers) who is a laosheng.. weird right..on stage one is dan, the other is laosheng acting as lovers then offstage, they changed sex.. very luan.

I wanted to blog about the different kinds of dans because May has totally forgotten about them already but it's too late now.. blog another day.

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...

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...
