“Kun Opera Xiao Ming Bonjour Paris” vlog pilot film | Kun Opera Theater has a Chinese-French mixed-race baby who teaches Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang how to say “Bonjour”
Intersection News On the eve of “Bonjour Paris!” and “Chinese Kun Opera Jiangsu Week” held in France, the Kun Opera Theater of Jiangsu Provincial Performing Arts Group welcomed a little guest. She was a four-and-a-half-year-old Chinese-French mixed-race baby Elisa.
After pushing the door open and entering, Elisa was attracted by the Kun Opera costumes. She looked around curiously and saw someone painting Kun Opera facial makeup. She politely asked: “Hello, my name is Wang Yili. I would like to know what you are doing?”
“We are preparing to go to France to sing Kunqu Opera.” Uncle Xiao Ming replied gently. “Are you going to France? That’s my dad’s hometown.” Elisa said.
Shi Xiaming, director of the Kun Opera Theater of Jiangsu Provincial Performing Arts Group and a famous Kun Opera actor, is known as the “Kun Opera Xiao Ming” among theater fans. On September 8, he led the Kun Opera Theater of Jiangsu Provincial Performing Arts Group to participate in the “Chinese Kun Opera Jiangsu Week” in Paris, France.
“Then let me teach you how to speak French!” Elisa patiently taught Shi Xiaming and her partner, Kun Opera performing artist and Plum Blossom Award winner Kong Aiping, “Bonjour Paris!” They also applied makeup on Elisa’s face, which is the facial makeup of a Kun Opera actor. Seeing the new blush between her eyebrows, Elisa’s face was filled with happiness.
“Bonjour” is the “hard currency” in French social life. Elisa’s mother, Ms. Wang Di, told Xiao Ming that when asking for directions in France, if foreigners greet you with “Bonjour” first, the French will think that you respect their country’s language and will be more friendly.
In the coming week, they will perform a romantic performance of Kun Opera “The Peony Pavilion”, bringing this pinnacle of Chinese literature and drama to a romantic country more than 9,000 kilometers away. “Love doesn’t know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper.” “But don’t miss each other, we are on the road to three lives in the Peony Pavilion.” “I will be your beautiful wife like a flower, and the years will pass by like a fleeting time.”…
