[He is the mainstay of the new generation of Cantonese opera. He is extremely graceful on stage but taciturn off stage.
He is a popular traffic niche guy who looks dignified and aloof, but is actually paranoid and single-minded.
During a collaboration three years ago, Fu Jingshen fell in love with Shen Yanzhou at first sight.
But after saying "your singing style is very special", he disappeared for three whole years.
When they reunited three years later, Fu Jingshen said in front of the national audience:
"I like him and it started three years ago."
The manager was furious, the fans were furious, and the anti-fans were having a party.
But what really made Shen Yanzhou break his defense was
Late one night, Fu Jingshen flew to the city where he was performing overnight.
I waited backstage until I fell asleep, still holding two tickets for "Emperor's Flower" in my hands.
"Why are you here?"
"You sing opera, I can't be away."
Later someone asked Fu Jingshen: Is it worth giving up so many resources for him?
Fu Jingshen smiled: Do you know the way he looked at me when he sang "Emperor's Flower"?
Worth it.
The new book "A Play Within a Play", looks at how popular celebrities chase famous actors in aloof opera.
Inside and outside the play, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.
But when a person is willing to go out of his way for you, that is sincerity.
