Personal experience

Zhao Shuguang joined Shantou Song and Dance Troupe in 197 1.

At that time, he studied dance. In eight years, he skipped folk dance and ballet. Zhao Shuguang said: "I learned a lot during that time and got a physical condition to express myself freely on the stage." Later, many plays were performed, and many old Shantou audiences may still remember his roles clearly, such as Xiao in Younger Generation, Zhao in Blooming Youth, and A Fei and A Fei in Sentinel under Neon Lights.

So, what made Zhao Shuguang fall in love with comedy sketches? "I used to love fighting when I was in the song and dance troupe. People joke that I am a' one-stop'. " Comedy sketches are close to life and have a strong artistic form. 1990 started to create his first sketch "Smile Service". In this sketch, he "shakes" all his efforts in singing, dancing, composing, directing and performing.

199 1 year was transferred to the Municipal Quyi Troupe as the director. On one occasion, he saw CCTV's sketch "fifty cents and twenty cents", which became a household name after it was broadcast. He said: "When we were young, we often listened to the old man telling the story of Xia Yulai. I think there is a two-generation relationship that goes deep into the hearts of the people in Xinjiang. If we don't put the story of Xia Yulai on the stage, then in a few years, the next generation won't know him. " Starting from this original intention, he created five episodes of Xia Yulai series in one breath.

Xia Yulai is very popular in Chaoshan. Once they went to the countryside to perform. As soon as they entered the village, the children gathered around and shouted "Summer Rain". Zhao Shuguang was very moved by the excitement and enthusiasm of people running around telling each other: "At that time, I had a sense of satisfaction and pride. It is a great comfort and happiness when you are recognized and welcomed by the audience. "

After Zhao Shuguang went to the provincial theater, he got the "biography" of the famous director Wang Shouyi, and the repertoire arranged was very different from before. He believes that the aesthetic standards of the audience have changed greatly, so he always naturally softens into some lively and jumping art forms, such as allegro, rap, music and dance. From His Bride for Rent, 369 Kidnapping, A New Dream of Red Mansions, 72 Tenants, Such a Filial Son, etc. He satirizes the present with the ancient, whips the reality, praises and promotes the wisdom, cleverness and humanistic spirit of Chaoshan people. As he said: "Art works can't be made just for fame and fortune. I think the orientation of works of art is very important. "

When talking about the teacher who helped him the most, Zhao Shuguang inevitably mentioned his father-in-law, Fang Runsheng: "When I was playing a drama, Lily was in the group, and her father was the head of the group. We often play against each other, and my father-in-law is very kind to me, letting me know a lot of acting skills. " Anyone familiar with Zhao Shuguang knows that Fang Lili is his wife and his good partner in the entertainment industry. For more than 20 years, these two stooges have been singing with the women behind the scenes. "In art, whoever makes sense will be a teacher." Now, as the head of the troupe, Zhao Shuguang is busier. Thanks to Lily's inner and outer shoulders, he can concentrate on his creation. Zhao Shuguang is busy making dutiful son and preparing for the filming of the sixth episode of Xia Yulai. He said that from art, it is to inject art into ordinary life.

Talking about his son, he said that, like parents all over the world, he once asked his son to learn piano and violin, but as a result, the child took a liking to painting. "I think children can grow up healthily and be a useful person to society in the future." Now, my son is studying in Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. When the couple came home, they felt a little lonely. "Sometimes when we are free, we will go fishing." He said, "I feel that I have been sitting more steadily in recent years. Meditation has given me a lot of inspiration and fun. "
