Chen Sheng-Guo (born July 2, 1954), born in Wandan Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan, is an opera performer, playwright, and director. He is the founding director of MHY Huang Taiwanese Opera Troupe and the long-term Chief Playwright-Director of Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group. Chen has written more than 300 orally-transmitted outdoor Taiwanese opera scripts and more than 50 theatrical Taiwanese opera scripts. He received the Ten Outstanding Young Persons award in 1995 and the National Award for Arts in 2018.[1]
Early Life and Career[edit]
Chen Sheng-guo's father was Chen Ming-chi, the founder of Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group, and his mother was Hsu Hsiu-hua, Ming Hwa Yuan’s xiaodan (young female role) performer.[2]
Since childhood, Chen has displayed a talent for storytelling. He enjoyed reading comics, novels, and historical tales, and even drew his own comics. In his first year of junior high school, he was asked to step in and fill a martial role onstage, which marked the beginning of his acting career. When he was 18, the storyteller hired by his family troupe quit after only narrating two volumes of The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants. Chen Ming-chi, then-leader of the troupe and Chen’s father, let him take over storytelling duties, initiating his career as a storyteller.[3]
Between the ages of 28 and 30, he worked as a script supervisor at Chiayu Film, his brother Chen Sheng-Fu's company, exposing him to the art of filmmaking and fast-paced storytelling techniques.[4]
Chen Sheng-Guo held various roles in the Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group over the years, including playwright, director, and actor. After releasing his debut playwriting and directorial work The Sixteen Prefectures at the age of 40, he shifted his focus away from acting and concentrated on playwriting and directing. He currently serves as the Chief Playwright-Director of Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group.[5]
In 1998, following the passing of Ming Hwa Yuan's founding leader Chen Ming-chi the previous year, his daughter and seven sons established separate performance troupes known as “Tian” (sky), “Di”(earth), “Xuan” (Color of sky), “Huang” (yellow), “Ri” (sun), “Yue” (moon), “Hsing” (star), and “Chen” (time). Chen Sheng-guo became the leader of the “Huang” group. Chen Sheng-guo has six sons and one daughter and has now handed over the role of leader of the “Huang” group to his son Chen Tzu-yang.[6]
Creative Style[edit]
Chen Sheng-Guo has written more than 300 orally transmitted scripts for outdoor performances and over 50 theatrical Taiwanese opera scripts. His most notable works include the series The Eight Immortals and The Living Buddha Ji Gong. [1]
His works often focus on characters from the middle and lower social classes, making them relatable to audiences from all walks of life. His directing style often draws on film montage storyboarding techniques and literary techniques of stream of consciousness, resulting in a fast-paced performance that suits modern sensibilities.[7][8]
Honors[edit]
In 1973, he won the Best Wusheng Role and Best Director awards at the local drama competition for his performance in Shuang Chiang Lu Wen Lung.[9]His directorial works subsequently earned him the championship and Best Director award at the same competition four more times, the works beingFu Tzu Ching Shen (1982), The Living Buddha Ji Gong (1984), Po Hu (1986), and Liu Chuan Chin Kua (1987).[10]
In 1995, he received the Ten Outstanding Young Persons award.[11]
In 2018, he was honored with the National Award for Arts.[12]
