Ordinary and great stories, how to tell them well with ** dramas? As the closing performance of the 18th China Theatre Festival, the original ** drama "Blooming" gave the answer - "Tell the truth, write the truth, and tell the truth." Director Huo Ying introduced his creative experience like this.
This ** drama jointly produced by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and China Oriental Performing Arts Group is based on Zhang Guimei, the winner of the "July 1st Medal", and tells the moving story of helping more than 2,000 girls realize their dreams of university. From Lin Hai Xueyuan to the south of Caiyun, from the volunteer youth to the principal of Huaping Girls' High School, the main creative team has extracted some important life fragments from Zhang Guimei's more than 40 years of experience in the front line of education.
It took two years of preparation, two documentary collections, and two months of non-stop rehearsals, striving to convey the protagonist's dedication from the best arrangement, dance choreography, plot setting, and stage design. Huo Ying said.
70% of the scenes in "Bloom" are focused on Zhang Guimei, which is a huge challenge for its actor Yu Yueyue. Run 5 kilometers a day to exercise physical fitness, walk with a sandbag tied to it during rehearsals, and repeatedly practice recitative ...... while lying on the bedThe continuous pursuit of details has led to the ordinary and extraordinary, lovely and respectable teacher Guimei on the stage.

Since its premiere in September 2022, "Bloom" has toured dozens of cities and tens of thousands of kilometers. In the view of chief director Liao Xianghong, "Bloom" is a useful exploration of the "theater group + theater chain + ** cooperation model," which not only leverages the first-class creative team of the theater troupe, but also fully excavates local cultural resources; It not only creates excellent repertoire, but also cultivates talents through performances. ”
In recent years, ** dramas have been favored by young audiences and have become a new trend of cultural consumption. "* Drama should avoid homogenization, conceptualization, and labeling, and break through the inherent creative mindset. Huo Ying believes that "only by boldly trying young artistic expression and using the form that young audiences like to see, can we create a masterpiece that can be called, stand, and spread." ”

The repertoire focuses on the culture and customs of Lingnan lion dance, and inspires every dreamer to work hard and move forward bravely through the story of the teenager Ajuan working hard and unremittingly chasing her dreams in Guangzhou.

The lion dance is a national intangible cultural heritage, and the content of intangible cultural heritage and national tide is attracting more and more young people to enter the theater. Director He Nian believes: "A successful ** drama must not only have a rich plot and good sound, but also the presentation of stage visual effects and the expression of dance bodies are equally important, and it is necessary to mobilize the emotions of the audience, so that the audience can integrate into the plot and 'breathe' with the characters." "Integrating elements such as dance, ** and lion dance, ** drama integrates the spirit of self-improvement and enterprising spirit of generations of lion dancers into creation, helping intangible cultural heritage to glow with the glory of the times.
There are 20 plum blossom piles standing on the stage, the highest of which is 21 meter, showing the uniqueness of this drama that is different from ordinary ** dramas. In addition to singing and dancing, the actors also have to perform lion dances, and there are 3 wonderful competition scenes that need to be piled up. Chen Keming, the actor of Ajuan, said: "We started from the basic skills, Zama step, lifting the lion's head, and cooperating with the lion's tail, and every move and style is inseparable from the word 'serious'.

From the screen to the stage, the cross-border adaptation of film and television IP is not easy. Condensing the content of 40 episodes of the TV series in more than two hours requires extremely strong refining ability. At the same time, the ** drama should also present plump characters and strong dramatic conflicts. To this end, the main creative team has repeatedly adjusted, "In the past, the main motive of ** dramas was buried in the characters, but this time we tried to bury the motive in the content." Zhang Xiaozhen, composer and director of "Ideal City", introduced.
Different from the form of acting and singing a paragraph, ** runs through the whole play, and the melody is intertwined with multiple colors such as suspense, youth, and brightness. Director Xiao Jie said: "For ** dramas, the characters come first. Only when the character's heart presents greater waves and growth can it better reflect the best nature. From the idealistic "Searching", to the analysis of the characters' hearts in "Black, White and Gray", to the affectionate "Rain All Night" ......Original songs convey positive power and inspiration.
The moving bricks construct an urban space of "reinforced concrete", a digital element representing the identity of a "cost engineer", and a revolving stage ...... embodying the concept of "life arena".The stage construction that combines virtual and real scenes conveys a fashionable, novel and unique artistic texture. "Through the interpretation of the actors and the changes in the body language of the dancers, we strive to present a stage where the physical space and the psychological world are intertwined. Xiao Jie said.
Show the spirit of the times, dig out Chinese stories, and interpret the character of struggle.
