How to choose between the blue and white in the world?
Is it a choice, an innovation?
Is it a choice, profound?
Or as soon as you choose, you will exert force?
On January 30th, on the second floor of Times Square, the small theater experimental drama "Green and Red" jointly created by Wenzhou Ou Opera Art Research Institute, Wenzhou Yue Opera Theater, Wenzhou Cultural Center, Yongjia Kunqu Opera Troupe, etc., was staged in the Times Drama Factory with "opera fusion drama". The theme song ** sounded, and when the performance began, the actors radiated light on the stage. When the theme song ** sounded again, and at the end of the performance, the enthusiastic audience took out their mobile phones and turned on the light, meeting the light, approaching the light, and chasing the light together on and off the stage!
The presentation is novel
Drama blends with drama
Holding the ticket for "Green and Red" has not yet entered**, the reporter is thinking about what kind of drama this is? Is it a suspense drama that tells the ins and outs of the case? Is it an emotional drama that reflects the rights and wrongs of the world? When the opera sounded, the director kept shouting "don't play", and the word "choice" jumped out of the reporter's mind.
Overall, the story tells the story of choice. It not only shows the process of choosing and maturing at the same time, but also the process of constantly meeting the light, chasing the dream, and radiating the light.
The drama performed by the Ou opera actors in the drama made the audience's eyes shine as soon as they opened their mouths, and the "choice" of the Ou opera actors for the opera life was very specific. As soon as it is concrete, it is profound. As soon as it was profound, it was moved.
"Green and Red", presented as opera + drama, did not dance in shackles under limited conditions, but carried out a breakthrough action. And as soon as you take action, start again from another choice point of drama or opera, there will be surprises brought by innovation.
The creator accepts the challenge
Chase the light in your choices
The playwright, Qin Fang, wrote the following introduction "Green and Red" in the performance book: In a small theater, the traditional play "The Legend of the White Snake" is rehearsed. The plot in the play is full of ups and downs, and the characters are vivid: talented and beautiful women, love and hatred, heterogeneous love, joys and sorrows, and ......Outside the play, the actors interrupted rehearsals several times due to successive life trivialities, emotional entanglements, family conflicts, and differences in interpretation of the script. On and off stage, characters and actors, art and life are intertwined with different life monologues and life choices ......
Ye Xi, the director of the play, left such a sentence for the reporter: From the selection of the topic to the direction of the script, he tried his best to reorder and combine the fragments of life and life perceptions, so that "Green and Red" was born. Xu Lu, secretary of the Yongjia Working Committee of the Wenzhou Popular ** Association, the composer of the theme song of the play, saw the lyrics "Green is green, red is red, soap is soap, white is white, no matter whether you choose right or wrong, it is difficult to change without regrets......"My heart was struck, and I thought that everyone would encounter the trivialities of life and chicken feathers, and I had to adjust my mentality in time. According to this concept, only acoustic guitar accompaniment was used when arranging the music, which was simple and made people sound very narrative.
The actors of the drama "Green and White" are mainly actors from Wenzhou Ouqu Art Research Institute, and this performance is both an innovation and a challenge for them. Before acting, the Ou opera actors repeatedly scrutinized this performance book, so that they could work hard to follow the script to chase the light.
Ou opera actor Weng Xiang said frankly: "The performance method of opera is relatively stylized. One board and one eye, every move and one style are planned. This time, our Ou opera actors chose to break through the drama, and at first they were extremely uncomfortable. After the director's patient explanation and analysis, under the leadership of professional actors Yang Yuanyuan and Liu Jie, he slowly entered the play, fell in love with the drama performance and improved, and the personality of the characters created became more and more distinct. ”
The male protagonist actor Xu Jingcheng played by Weng Xiang changed his life through his own hard work, but found that his fate was not in his own hands, and the pressure of reality made his life stretched. He can only express himself through play, and he dreams because of play. The actor Bai Lu played by Liu Jiajia wants to marry into a wealthy family, and she has been walking on the blind date road, the more she goes, the more hesitant she goes, entangled in the other half's choice fear; The actor Ye Qing played by Wang Xiuli dares to love and hate, there is no difficulty in choosing at all, only more and more firm; Liu Jie's "Pick-up Man" Brother Soap can be described as sober in the world, **there is work, **there is extra money, he quickly sees the stitches, and the choice is always speed.
These actors have a special experience every time they are faced with a choice. And every time they go through it, they try their best to find something that will spark their passion. When you meet the light, chase the light. Of course, they have a common choice called opera life, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows are often in the play, in the characters, and in the performances that are full of emotion.
In addition to the actors, there is also the red director of "the play is bigger than the sky" played by Yang Yuanyuan, who has also been looking for light. She was caught in a family and career dilemma. She was tired and sometimes even wanted to give up, but in the end she chose to persevere, because the most in life is helplessness, and the most indistinguishable thing is right and wrong, indiscriminate. She enjoyed chasing the light, looking forward to reaching the place where the light was. Yang Yuanyuan said bluntly: "The red director in the play is a middle-aged woman in her 40s, and although I am in my 30s, I have not experienced marriage and children. I laughed. ”
The audience appreciates the play
Provoke thought in the interaction
The audience focused on the novel form at the time, the integration of modern drama and traditional opera, through the way of "Taichung Taiwan, drama within a play", presenting the living situation of contemporary young people, and also triggered a lot of thinking: when you work hard but gradually lose control of life; When you are determined about your goals, you are increasingly uncertain about the future; When there are more and more new things, the internal friction and involution are becoming more and more serious; When there are more and more choices, you find that you have no choice ......Drama is like a mirror, illuminating life, how to practice the drama of life?
These in-depth reflections are triggered step by step in the frequent interaction between the actors and the audience during the performance. When the actor asked the audience: In the play "The Legend of the White Snake", who is the unyielding winner in life?
The audience began to speculate, is it Xu Xian or the White Lady? "Of course, it was Xu Xian, the child was self-taught and admitted to '985'. "Xu Xian married 'Bai Fumei' and lived in Leifeng Pagoda for free for many years. The audience laughed as they answered, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The soap brother on the stage was also infected by the happy atmosphere of the audience, and used the most popular fashion fable to reveal the mystery: of course it is Xu Xian! He was born in a provincial capital, has a house, does not have to repay the mortgage, has a stable income, and does not have to worry about food and clothing. took an umbrella as a dowry, married a very 'powerful' wife, gave birth to a baby, no need to tutor homework, no need to go to cram school, easily admitted to the champion, a proper winner in life.
Immediately afterwards, another question came out, "Who is the loser in life in "The Legend of the White Snake"?" Bailu replied: "It's the White Lady, who loves Xu Xian by mistake, and has been pressed under the Leifeng Pagoda for twenty years, almost taking her life." And Ye Qing's answer earned enough tears from the audience: "The White Lady uses her thousand-year-old practice as the most abundant dowry, paying for love, paying for the person she loves, even if it is ten lives and nine deaths, it is also a great joy in life." ”
At the end of the performance, a letter written by Director Hong hit the big screen, setting off a climax and grabbing the hearts of the audience: life is not easy, the choice is difficult, love is very short, forgetting is very long, no one wants to make life's multiple choice questions into multiple choice questions, but who can get rid of the entanglement of life and complete every multiple choice question of life as he wants? And the real strong person is after experiencing the hardships of life and recognizing the essence of life, he still loves life, still believes in love, and still adheres to his original intention to choose the whole life and the beauty of life!
When the audience walked out of the drama factory of the era of drama and music, the most asked sentence was: Will a good-looking local drama like "Green and Red" be launched one after another in the future?
In fact, since last year, our city has taken the small theater as the starting point, linked social forces, and established the small theater alliance to create a new scene of Wenzhou culture. The latest launch of "Green and White" is very representative, the play will actively try to operate for the market, and perform in the small theater space of the first batch of member units of the Small Theater Alliance in the era of "drama and music" in the form of commercial performance ticket sales, and explore a new model of small theater drama out of the circle. It is also hoped that through such an attempt, we will truly embark on a development path of "who to play, how to act, what to play, and who will perform" in Wenzhou Small Theater, activate the market vitality with professional interpretation, so that the audience really likes to enter the small theater, and let the small theater integrate more scene formats and make it brilliant.
