1. What is a stage name? The so-called stage name is the name that some people use to replace their real names when they are engaged in artistic activities. Stage names are generally used by people who make a living by their skills.
2. The appearance and development of stage names as early as in ancient society, China had the custom of adding a profession or specialty before the name. Kenting? 、? Qin Yu? 、? Steal your feet? Wait a minute.
Although these names are not stage names, they have the characteristics of stage names, which can be said to be the oldest source of stage names in China. The stage names of artisans in past dynasties in China mostly adopted this model, but the roles behind them were not first names, but surnames.
For example, Zhang Wanquan of Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty was famous for his clay figurines. Clay figurine Zhang? It's a stage name, passed down from generation to generation.
Many stage names are inseparable from common names in other numbers.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a Yangzhou man named Zhao who made a living by selling paintings. Although the house he painted was extremely deep and the shade was sunny, it did not break the rules, so it was handed down to the world. Zhao Loutai? This name.
People who make a living by skills rely on skills. The skill level is not boastful, but must be recognized by the society. Stage names are often the embodiment of people's recognition of artists. There is a so-called? Make a promise? Xu Shouchang once said to people: Our family, from my father to our brothers, and my son and grandson, a family of four, old and young, either make helmets or handles. It can be said that they make clothes and playthings. Family? For many years, I have been studying and improving the technological process of making handles. The single-knife, double-knife, gun, sword and other handles I made are not only durable, beautiful in appearance, but also realistic, which are well received and welcomed by the actors. Actors in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai all like my handle. So, everyone calls me kindly? Make a promise? .
There's another one named? Carving knife? Zhang Fengming also said in his readme:? My family has made three generations of carving knives, tweezers and other handicrafts from my grandfather to my generation. The meat cutters and tweezers made by my family are made of excellent materials, fine workmanship, durable and low price. 100 years, they have won the praise of users. Not only ordinary sculptors like to use our carving knives and tweezers, but also the famous lithograph engraver Qi Baishi. Carving knife? . ? Visible? Make a promise? And then what? Carving knife? Originally, they were all common names in other numbers. The difference between them and common names is that they are accepted by myself and displayed as the names of my employees to attract customers.
3. The similarity of stage names (1) is vulgar, which shows the unique characteristics of street performers. In the past, street performers belonged to the ranks of three religions and nine streams. Most of their stage names come from the common names in Song Zi.
(2) Stage names can attract people. The stage name comes from popular names, just to cater to the taste of the audience. For buskers, getting popular names shows that they have a certain influence on the audience. Using this popular name as a stage name can further expand your influence and win more audiences for yourself.
(3) The stage name is also customized. Many actors' stage names are mostly customized, instead of using common names. In contrast, their stage names are more elegant. For example, Mei Lanfang, a Peking Opera actor, whose original name was Mei Lan, left traces of his original name (the homonym of Lan Helan) on the one hand, and said that he was an actor on the other, that is? Lan Fang? This is a name used by women.
4. How to choose a stage name and whether it is attractive or not is a factor that cannot be ignored, especially when the actor is not famous, a good stage name can take the lead and attract the attention of the audience.
(1) There are many forms of stage names. We take the actor's stage name as an example, and the analysis is as follows: a. Name form: for example, Gao Zhenshan, stage name Gao Qingkui; He Fengyi, stage name He Laofeng; Wang Dechen, stage name Wang Erlang; Huang Guoxiong, stage name Huang Bubu; Chu Xuefa, stage name Chu Dalu. B stage names with names are more elegant, while stage names without names are more vulgar. As far as its use value is concerned, non-stage names are more popular, more attractive and more suitable for the tastes of the public. As a stage name, pursuing elegance blindly and falling into the stereotype of the real name of a scholar gives people a vulgar feeling. If you try your best to be vulgar, you will look elegant.
(2) Naming skills of stage names. Named after a vertical connection. Sometimes, there may be vertical or horizontal links between relevant actors. The so-called vertical connection means that the actor skillfully borrows the stage name of the previous actor. For example: is it white? Xiaobaiyu ointment. What about white? It is the stage name of Li Guizhen, a famous Ju Ping actor in China, and is quite famous among critics and audiences in Ju Ping. Ju Ping actor Li Zaiwen later used this stage name? Xiaobaiyu cream? This is obviously very attractive to the audience of Pingju. Is it called Tian Zi? Small call day? Gai Jiaotian. Called the son of heaven? This is the stage name of Tan Zhidao, a famous Peking Opera actor in China. His son Tan Xinpei inherited the family tradition and brought forth the new, so he took the stage name? Small call day? Later, Peking Opera actor Zhang Yingjie took a stage name? Gai Jiaotian? In our country, it is always taboo to use the names of elders. Although contemporary people are not very taboo, they generally don't like to name their children's constellations after their elders. The entertainment circle is different. Even if you don't need a stage name, you like to leave traces of the previous generation in the names of the next generation. For example, Yan's son is called Yan, while his son is called Li. This kind of father-son name shares a word. Generally speaking, it is conditional that the next generation must have family relations with the previous generation. The purpose of this continuous stage name is naturally to attract the audience with the help of the fame of the previous generation of actors. But the eyes of the audience can't be fooled. Borrowing the stage name of the previous generation, at least the performance skills should be the same as those of the previous generation of actors, and they must be inherited and developed, otherwise they will be self-defeating and lose the audience. Stage art is intuitive, and it is difficult for fakes to find a market. List tweezers everywhere? In the entertainment circle, it usually doesn't happen. B. Use the horizontal relationship to get the stage name. The so-called horizontal relationship means that several or more actors use the same word form to get stage names. For example: A. Enqing Society? There are clear characters in the stage names of students, such as Hu Qingyuan, Hu Qinghe and Sheng Qingyu. There are various honors in students' stage names, such as Zhang Rongxiu, Huang Rongda, Guo, Wu and Pei. Students take all useful words as stage names, such as Wang Yiyou, Hou, Hou Yitai, Tang Yigui, Li, Wang and Li Yiguang. Some class associations, like dharma names, don't even require surnames. For example, students in Chunwangfu class are proud of their stage names, such as. Most of the stage names of this horizontal connection belong to the naming mode. It is named because it uses the same words. Lack of vivid charm. Name the stage according to the number of words. Judging from the number of words, there are the following types of names: a. Name the stage with two words. For example, Gaolangting, the stage name Yueguan, Xu, the stage name Shuanghong, and the stage name Baoming. B. Name it in three words. Yu, a famous artist. The stage name is Furong Zhou, Kirin Tong, Xun Huisheng and C, and the stage name is four words. For example, the stage name is Daikin inlaid with jade, and the stage name is Xiao Peony Flower. D. Individuals also adopt a five-character stage name: for example, Xie Qirong, whose stage name is Shenshou Xiesenility.
