中国广东潮剧院一团  汕头慧如剧场 - 彩排演出 - 刘秀复国

汕头市金砂公园 吴汉杀妻

26 - 12 -2014

今天抵达汕头，端杰弟带我去见认识多年还未见面的 QQ好友林荣辉，真是难得。荣辉请我们吃海鲜午餐，过后三团勇强来载我到处走走，买光碟，然后才到宾馆，还和楚武见面。后来，我被宾馆外的纸影演出深深吸引，独自走到汕头市金砂公园看业余人士清唱‘ 吴汉杀妻’。




汕头市慧如剧场2014年12月26日晚的“周五有戏”舞台上，中国广东潮剧院一团彩­­排演出潮剧‘刘秀复国’。

傍晚，勇强载我吃晚餐，然后去看‘刘秀复国’。这是我第二次来这里看戏。上回是2008年，也是看一团的戏，‘东吴郡主’。由于是彩排演出，散场后还有演员，导演和观众交流。

早上杀妻，晚上也杀妻，哈哈哈！

制作潮剧短片与大家分享
四告状，浪子妖姬，观灯，杨家将，莲香戏鞋，平贵登基，皇子争国

一直以来，我挂上网的短片都是我观赏演出时所拍摄的片子，在圣诞假期期间，一时心血来潮，拿了几部我喜欢看的光碟，花一点时间制作一些在网上少看到的片子，挂上网和大家分享。

喜欢新天彩潮剧团的‘四告状’，觉得皮秀英告罢三支状，再告四支状那一段很好听，就把陈楚蕙和曾珊凤在‘四告状’这一段制作成短片挂上网。

最近看到奇灵挂上了陈楚蕙和方巧玉的‘浪子妖姬’这部戏的音频，也让我回想起30年前看过已经解散的老一枝香潮剧团演出这部戏。那时饰演浪子的小生，她的少年时期是在织云潮剧团度过的，过后团长提拔她演小生。以前的织云潮剧团演员众多，往往一部戏的男主角需要分配给两三名演员演出。新出炉的小生就演第一个角色，算是给她们机会提高演出水平。她当时在‘穆桂英招亲’时就演出少年杨宗保。过后就跳槽到新戏班‘驼江潮剧团’，但是只演一阵子，常常演出‘锦绣山河’的刘璋。然后她就转台到老一枝香潮剧团，我就是在大巴窑5巷的大牌73号广场看她演出‘浪子妖姬’这部戏。据说，她是马来西亚公民，现在居住在西马。

去年到汕头观赏潮剧节的演出时，也买了多部光碟，其中就包括中国广东澄海潮剧团的‘三王复国’。这部戏正是‘浪子妖姬’也！喜欢陈俊苞的演出，更喜欢陈晓蓉的司马勇，所以就6片光碟制作成6部短片和大家分享。

喜欢陈三五娘的观灯，所以就把这一段制作成6分钟的短片挂上网。这部潮剧电影是40多年前制作的，当年的姚璇秋和萧南英的扮相真不错。

我选‘杨家将’为第四部戏。记得小时候在大巴窑2巷大牌101的停车场看过已经解散的老三正顺潮剧团演过同样剧本但以‘七子救驾’为戏名的这部戏。那是1970年初，老三正顺潮剧团的演员也是很多，那几场交战的戏看得我如痴如醉。母亲常常说：‘老令公去算命，算命先生说七子救驾六子归，他以为六个儿子会凯旋归来，怎知只有六子归来’。这部‘杨家将’的光碟是由漳州新青年潮剧团和汕头市正顺潮剧团演出的。这部戏很特别，是以外景作为开场画面。老牌演员张长成也客串演出寇坏一角。

第五部戏就想起两年前看过马来西亚的中玉楼春潮剧团演出的‘皇姑复国’。非常喜欢这部戏的剧本和演出，因为剧情所需，至少要有三名小生和三位花旦才行。 我手头上有饶平潮剧团的‘皇姑复国’和中国广东澄海潮剧团的‘皇子争国’，但是我觉得澄海潮剧团的演的比较接近‘中玉楼春潮剧’的，所以就选出最后两段和大家分享。

去年买了一部叫‘莲香戏鞋’的光碟，以为捡到宝，那里知道原来是哑巴戏。光碟没列出演员的名字，怎知一看就不能抗拒，因为光碟是配上电影‘莲香戏鞋’的原声带，我本身很喜欢喜听庄雪娟和丁楚翘演唱的‘莲香戏鞋’。我选了最后一段‘回仙山’制作成短片。

由于上传短片需要一些时间，我会分批上传到http://www.youtube.com/santuan3。2010年首先推出由中国广东潮剧院三团演出的‘平贵登基’。我选择了小生李勇强和花旦许碧霞演出的平贵与玳瓒公主交锋的那一场和尾场揭晓平贵为太子那一段与大家分享。

恭祝大家新年快乐，身体健康，心想事成。Wishing all a Happy New Year.

广东潮剧院三团将于2008年3月19-23日赴港演出

在农历新年期间，三团的勇强告诉我他们将在3月期间赴香港演出，演出日期刚好和香港小生王陈楚蕙在新加坡的演出相撞，不然我会赴港支持捧场。

广东潮剧院三团应香港康乐及文化事务署的邀请，一行62人将于2008年3月19-23日赴香港举行优秀剧目展演。广东潮剧院十分重视此次演出，把此作为展示潮剧院三团近几年艺术成果的机会，同时也作为一次增进艺术交流、弘扬潮汕传统文化的演出任务。

新广东潮剧院三团首次赴香港演出意义重大，剧团周密部署，精心安排，除了剧团自身阵容外，还特邀姚璇秋、张长城、方展荣、郑健英等潮剧著名表演艺术家加盟演出，力求以优秀的剧目和精彩的演出呈现给香港观众。

剧团在港演出的剧目有：传统潮剧《包公会李后》、伦理剧《节义夫妻》及一批经典折子戏。其中有姚璇秋、张长城主演的展示陈璧娘送夫勤王，爱国家，晓大义的《送郎》、歌颂重庆沙磁区区委书记江雪琴的《江姐上山》、展示的一代名将赵少卿《梦会》，还有郑健英主演的《蝶恋花》、《井边会》，方展荣主演的《绛玉掼粿》，以及潮剧新秀主演的《晨钟惊梦》、《穆桂英招亲》、《铁弓缘》等。值得一提的是著名丑角方展荣主演《节义夫妻》中的李尚义，滑稽诙谐，妙趣横生，生动活泼，将带给观众捧腹快乐。

相信这次赴港演出将给潮剧院三团艺术水平带来新的飞跃，让海内外潮剧观众认识一个全新的潮剧院三团，阵容整齐、演艺精堪的新三团。

汕头第三届国际潮剧节 – 第七天 （2008年 11月13日）
普宁，揭西，谷饶

在谷饶一天实在不够，有那么多朋友在那边，所以决定再留下来一天。 第二天在大路的金星花园酒店订一间房间。那是一件营业不到一年的新酒店，服务员说有四星，一晚只收260人民币。忙完后，我打了一通电话给楚武，他说知道我会回来，因为我昨天没见到他。哇！果真料事如神。

用完晚餐后，便跑去后台找演员交谈。首先到云霄潮剧团的后台找挺峰，艺勇和银泉，也碰到团长并和他聊天喝茶，过后在台上看艺勇出台演出太子登基。

然后走去潮州市潮剧团的演出地点找奕培和少彪聊天，少彪说玉兰在台下和一位来自新加坡的朋友看戏。聊了一会儿，我下台去观赏王流梳演出的乾坤宝镜。

看了一会儿，又重回云霄潮剧团的演出地点，和好友们再一次相聚，然后依依不舍的作三轮车去广东潮剧院三团的演出地点。

那三轮车夫说到了，我看到了戏台觉得不像三团的戏台，车夫说不能再进去了，下了车才知道原来是广东潮院院二团的戏台，刚好看到二团在演龙凤环。

拍了几分的短片，勇强打电话问我怎么还没到，他说他的戏份要演完了。我走来走去，好像走不出那二团演出的地方，明明三团的戏台就在附近吗，做年就是找不到，

于是我叫了另一辆三轮车，车夫说很靠近，我说不要紧，我已经好累了，就送我去那边吧。

很快的就看到三团的戏台，勇强正好出台和碧霞演对手戏，好精彩的一幕刘秀乔装女人的戏。

看呀看，楚武就出现在我面前， 我们聊了一下，他说要带我去吃潮州粥，也拉着佳婉一起去吃。临走前，我上台向勇强告别。吃完粥后，楚武坚持陪我坐三轮车会酒店，真难的。

广东潮剧院三团 - 无意神医 Guangdong Teochew Opera Troupe 3

When 广东潮剧院三团 Guangdong Teochew Opera Troupe 3 came to perform in Singapore in Sep 2006, 知名丑角方展荣 and and 中国潮剧著名青衣花旦姚璇秋 came along to land support to the troupe.

Below are some photos taken when 方展荣 performed in one of the short segment called 无意神医.

再谈广东潮剧院三团的李勇强

On mooncake festival day, I got in touch with 李勇强 of 广东潮剧院三团. He told me 广东潮剧院三团 was putting up 平贵登基 on that auspicious evening. Personally, I like this show very much. It was a pity that 广东潮剧院三团 did not put up this show when they were in Singapore last month.

I am glad to maintain contact with him since I like to watch teochew opera and also the shows put up by 广东潮剧院三团.

When 广东潮剧院一团 came to Singapore in Jul 2006, that was the first time I started to blog. Therefore, I did not upload as many photos as I would like to. Now that I have acquired some basic skills in editing the original photos, I would like to share a few photos which I had taken a few months back.

Happy viewing.

再谈广东潮剧院三团的演员 - 2

For this blog, I would like to share my experience watching the performances by 许碧霞, 许佳婉 and 李少娟.

In my previous blog, I briefly mentioned about my encounter with 碧霞. She played the key female lead role in 碧血丹心, 节义夫妻 and 梦圆锦香亭. She is definitely very versatile and can perform very well in many different roles. No wonder she is the 当家花旦 of 广东潮剧院三团. Her friendly disposition somehow makes her quite popular.

Next, I would like to introduce 许佳婉. I only got to that there is such a talented actress after I watched 薛刚兴唐. 佳婉 played the role as 薛葵. Her ugly painted face had already captured the audience attention. Then, came along her talented performance during the scene where she was about to meet her father 薛刚. One other factor that contributed to her very good performance was her size. She is a small build person. It is definitely convincing to the audience for her to play the role as a teenager.

Lastly, I would like to introduce 李少娟. She appeared as male lead or supporting male lead in many of the performances. In 闹花灯, she played a supporting male lead as 薛猛. In 安禄山犯长安，she played the key male lead as 钟景期. It is a fact that guys are normally assigned to act as key male leads in China Teochew Opera Troupes. She must have put in tremendous efforts to emerge as one of the male leads.

再谈广东潮剧院三团的演员

Time flies. Guangdong Teochew Opera Troupe 3 has returned to Swatow for a week already. Out the 11 performances, I have watched 6 of them. To me, this is definitely a new record. When 广东潮剧院一团 was here in Jul 06 with 林初发 and 黄映伟, I could only find time to watch 3 performances. This round, I told myself that I should squeeze out sufficient time to support 广东潮剧院三团 after I had watched 薛刚闹花灯.

Personally, I feel that it is easier to develop a good relationship with the actors and actresses from both 广东潮剧院一团 and 广东潮剧院三团. My wife and I felt 林初发 and 黄映伟 are very nice and approachable actors. It is not because we knew them in person or through some introduction. We approached them just like strangers talking to another person. However, they reciprocated as if they are our good friends. Regardless of their status (Take for example, 林初发 is the key male lead of 广东潮剧院一团), they are very humble and sincere. My recent encounter with 张楚武, 李勇强 and 许碧霞 confirmed this.

I am going to share the ‘before and after photos’ of 李勇强 and 张楚武. “Before” means the photos of them in civilian without any make up.

I understand from 李勇强 that 广东潮剧院三团 had reached 汕头 at about 5 plus in the morning of 20 Sep 06. 张楚武 called me on 21 Sep 06 and shared that 广东潮剧院三团 was busy preparing for their performances in 汕头,China. Best wishes to them in their upcoming performances.
