A. Use vertical connections to name. Stage names may sometimes be linked vertically or horizontally between related actors. The so-called vertical connection is when an actor cleverly borrows the stage name of an actor from the previous generation.
Example a is empty: Bai Yushuang - Xiaobai Yushuang. "Bai Yushuang" is the stage name of Li Guizhen, a famous Chinese Pingju opera actor. It is well known in the Pingju opera circle and Pingju opera audiences. Later Ping Opera actor Li Zaiwen took the stage name "Xiao Bai Yushuang", which was obviously attractive to Ping Opera audiences.
B is called the Son of Heaven - Xiao is called Tian - Gai is called Tian. "Miao Tianzi" is the stage name of my country's famous Peking Opera actor Tan Zhidao. His son Tan Xinpei inherited the family tradition and brought forth new ideas, so he took the stage name "Xiao Mingtian". Later, Peking Opera actor Zhang Yingjie took the stage name "Gai Jingtian". He was known for his bold skills and extraordinary words.
In our country, there has always been a taboo on using the names of elders. Although it is no longer taboo among contemporary people, they still generally do not like to use the names of their elders when naming their children. The entertainment industry is different. Even if they don't use stage names, they still like to leave traces of the previous generation in the names of the next generation. For example, Yan Jupeng's son is named Yan Shaopeng, and Li Guichun's son is named Li Shaochun.
This phenomenon of father and son having the same name is generally conditional, that is, the next generation must have a family relationship with the previous generation. The purpose of this kind of stage name is to use the reputation of the previous generation of actors to attract the audience. But the eyes of the audience cannot be coaxed. Borrowing stage names from previous generations, at least the performance skills are on par with previous generations of actors. They must be inherited and developed, otherwise it will be self-defeating and lose the audience. Stage art is intuitive, and it is difficult for fakes to find a market. Therefore, the situation of "there are tweezers posted everywhere" generally does not occur in the entertainment industry.
B. Use horizontal relationships to choose stage names. The so-called horizontal connection means that several or more actors use the same character pattern to take stage names. For example:
a. Enqingshe - the stage names chosen by students all contain the word "qing", such as Hu Qingyuan, Hu Qinghe, Sheng Qingyu, etc.
b. Enrong Class - all the stage names given by the students have the character "Rong", such as Chen Ronghui, Zhang Rongxiu, Huang Rongda, Guo Rongn, Wu Rongying, Pei Rongqing, etc.
cYijiaban——Students’ stage names are all with beneficial characters, such as Wang Yiyou, Hou Yicai, Hou Yitai, Tang Yigui, Li Yizhong, Wang Yirong, Li Yiguang, etc. .
There are also class societies that are just like giving Dharma names and don’t even need surnames. For example, students in Chunwangfu's class all have stage names starting with the character "Rong", such as "Rongsheng".
This kind of horizontally connected stage name mostly belongs to the name pattern. Due to the use of the same character, naming limitations must be very great, because such stage names often appear rigid and formal, lacking the lively, colorful and emotional charm.
C. Use the number of characters in the stage name. In terms of the number of words, there are the following types of ways to start a stage name:
a Use a two-character name. For example: Gao Langting, whose stage name is Yue Guan. Xu Xiaolou, whose stage name is Shuanghong. Xiao Changhua, stage name Baoming.
b Use three characters to name it. Yu Diqi, whose stage name is Yu Shuyan. Li Guichun, stage name Xiaodazi.
c Use four characters to name it. For example: Li Qingshan, whose stage name is Dajin Xiangyu. Chen Bohua, whose stage name is Xiao Mudanhua.
d. Some people also adopt five-character stage names: for example: Xie Qirong, whose stage name is Shenshou Xie Lao Lao. Shiyueting, whose stage name is Shiyueming. Shang Dequan: His stage name is Yan Xiaoyun. Kuang Jianlian, stage name Hongxian Nu. Zhao Tongshan, whose stage name is Furongcao. Zhou Xinfang, whose stage name is Qilin Tong. Xun Huisheng, whose stage name is Bai Mudan.
