Beijing**Client|Reporter Wang Run Fang Fei.
In recent years, writer Mo Yan has a tendency to shift his creative focus to drama, not only writing new scripts, but also handing over "Farewell My Concubine", which was once performed by the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe, to Beijing Renyi, who has cooperated with "Our Jing Ke", and recently officially debuted at Renyi Small Theater. This version of "Farewell My Concubine", written by Mo Yan and directed by Lin Cong, surprised and amazed the audience in terms of ideological connotation and immersive form, as well as the actors' performances full of tension.
As soon as the audience walks into the Renyi Theater on the third floor of the Beijing International Theater Center, they will feel refreshed. The original auditorium and stage disappeared and were replaced by a spherical "barracks tent".The "viewing tips" broadcast before the performance became a requirement for everyone to "abide by military discipline";The bell for the opening of the performance also turned into the trumpet blowing in the army. The audience sits at will on the ** with varying heights in all directions, and is wrapped in this highly experiential environment with the actors, making it easier to enter the hearts of the characters.
Just as the poster of the play uses two female faces as the main visual, rather than "Overlord" and "Yu Ji", this work with innovative perspectives originates from a bold imagination put forward by Mo Yan with the help of the historical story structure - what kind of situation would it be if Lu Pheasant and Yu Ji met in Chuying?This assumption makes the story change the traditional setting of "Farewell My Concubine", and the main body of the narrative is aimed at the two female characters in the play, so that it is possible to look at history from a female perspective.
On the profound literary foundation and ideological connotation of Mo Yan's works, director Lin Cong gave a new interpretation of the original work from the perspective and feelings of female creators, so that the well-known classical story of "Farewell My Concubine" has more updating. Whether it is Lu Pheasant or Yu Ji, they both represent different aspects of human nature, and "you have me, I have you", expressing the thinking and choice of human nature on love, power, and life goals under the historical background and life destiny. And the moonlight and warm red silk in the military tent are even more vividly rendered in love, hatred and hatred, and it is moving.
The complex, vivid and innovative character settings, coupled with the director's careful direction, made the young actors of Beijing Renyi shine with more dazzling brilliance in this play. Actor Sun Yilin, who once had wonderful performances in "Ding Xilin** Three Comedies", "Good Night Mother" and "Eldest Son", portrayed Lu Pheasant with a complex personality and challenging performance in "Farewell My Concubine" with strong plasticity, whether it is the old spicy and jealousy shown when competing with Yu Ji, or the desire and helplessness shown when playing against Xiang Yu, it is very impactful. The young actor Lu Lu, who played Chen Bailu in the new version of "Sunrise", played Yu Ji in this version of "Farewell My Concubine", which also showed her growth and breakthrough;A farewell sword dance from the overlord is even more affectionate, beautiful and beautiful. "Overlord" Xiang Yu is no longer a tragic hero, the actor Wang Junqi shows the character's simple kindness and infatuation and fragility more prominently, and the final choice of him and Yu Ji is also full of idealism. Fan Zeng played by Zhang Hansheng and the guards played by Wei Jiacheng are like clues that connect and promote the development and change of the plot, making the whole play tight and climactic.
How many people have dreamed of it, and how many people have lost their lives because of it. With it, it can benefit the world or harm the common people;It can be reversed in black and white, or it can be reversed and ......Yes, this thing is power. If a woman doesn't get love, she gets power, which is also a good compensation. At the end, the image of the elderly Lu Pheasant is projected on the camp tent in the form of many **. This is a new content specially created by Mo Yan for the Beijing Renyi version of "Farewell My Concubine", and it also corresponds to the advertising slogan written by Mo Yan for the play: "This is a historical drama closely related to modern life;This is a historical drama that makes women think about what kind of woman they should be;This is a historical drama that makes men think about what kind of man they should be;This is a historical drama that blends history into the modern era;This is a historical drama that allows modern times to illuminate history;In fact, all dramas are historical dramas. ”
