“京剧四大名旦”中的程砚秋成名比梅兰芳晚一些,却得到过后者极大的帮助。1927年,程砚秋精心排练了新戏《斟情记》,计划在北京首演。他对这出戏很自信,却忐忑于另外一个人,就是“旦角之首”梅兰芳,如果在首演时正遇上后者也在京城演出,他的光芒肯定会盖过自己,要想在这里站稳脚跟肯定就很困难了。 Cheng Yanqiu, famous in Peking Opera Four Famous Famers, became famous later than Mei Lanfang but got the latter’s great help. In 1927, Cheng Yanqiu carefully rehearsed the new movie, “Pilgrim”, plans to debut in Beijing. He is very confident about the play, but wandering at the other person, is “the head of a corner.” Mei Lanfang, if the premiere is the latter also performed in the capital, his light will surely overshadow It is very hard to get a firm foothold here.
