In an exclusive interview with Jimu News, Tang Kai mentioned that this is the first time he has appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, "This time I am not representing individuals, but representing the Peking Opera forces of Beijing and Hubei, and I will complete my task well." ”
Tall and handsome, with solid kung fu, this is almost all fans' first impression of Tang Kai. Tonight, Tang Kai will take the stage in the Spring Festival Gala opera "Hundred Flowers for Beauty", and the role he "appeared" is "Zhao Yun", who is characterized by his handsome appearance and mighty and steady figure.
When connected by a Jimu News reporter, Tang Kai mentioned that the link setting of "A Hundred Flowers for Beauty" focuses on the "appearance" of three generations of opera actors, "The setting of the director team is to hope that the audience can really see the characteristics and charm of each opera role, and then show the style of contemporary opera people through the opera roles." ”

Playing "Zhao Yun", this is handy for Tang Kai, who was born in martial arts. Previously, he often played the role of "Zhao Yun" in the daily performances of the Peking Opera Company in Hubei Province - from "Changbanpo Hanjinkou" to "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" and "Yangping Pass", his "Zhao Yun" has attracted the attention of many audiences. In January 2023, he also instructed Wang Yibo on how to play "Zhao Yun" in the recording of "Everyday Upward".
Therefore, although it is the first time to appear on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Tang Kai is not under much pressure, in the interview he said with a smile that the performance of the Spring Festival Gala is "different" from the traditional performance, the most important thing is to adapt to the number and rhythm of modifications, and then to cooperate with the lens and high-tech lifting platform, "But the 'work' we appeared in is okay, it is not difficult, and I can complete it well." ”
However, although there is not much pressure, Tang Kai, who made his debut in the Spring Festival Gala, also cherishes this appearance very much and deeply understands its significance, "What I represent is definitely not me, but the power of opera in Hubei." ”
Last year, Tang Kai won the 31st "Plum Blossom Award" for his arrangement and adaptation of the Peking Opera "Ma Chao". In the eyes of the judges, his "cloud hands" and "tyrants" are calm and atmospheric, and his gestures are heroic, showing the style of a brave and heroic general; "Three falls under the city" from surprise and anger to grief and finally a big injury, from weak to strong, layer by layer; The difficult throwing of the gun, the play of the gun, the transfer of the gun, the back of the gun, the rounding of the gun, the fast-paced rotation of the waist, the twisting of the legs and turning over, is to achieve the unity of "spirit, energy, and spirit" performance realm. Tang Kai mentioned that he will return to Wuhan after the Spring Festival Gala, and then he will devote himself to daily performances in a better mental state. And this year, "Ma Chao" is also likely to usher in a tour.
