This year marks the 120th anniversary of the "Penghu Reform Law", and the drama "Beijing Fayuan Temple", written and directed by Tian Qinxin, was once again staged at the Beijing Tianqiao Art Center on March 7 to commemorate this important event in Chinese history. "Beijing Fayuan Temple" uses the legendary and political theory to create a martial arts meaning of fierce killing, laughing and scolding with liver and gallbladder, and also Zhuang and harmony with loyalty and filial piety.
Zhang Yicong's affectionate interpretation of the Guangxu Emperor's "Beijing Fayuan Temple" was honored and reappeared on the stage of the capital
The whole drama intercepts the most exciting 10 days of the "Penghu Reform Law", and resurrects the patriotic feelings, chivalrous spirit and the ideals and beliefs of rich countries and strong peoples such as Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei and Tan Si on the stage. The stage design takes the Beijing Fayuan Temple as the main concept, and through the change of images, it switches to the triple space of the imperial court, the folk and the Fayuan Temple, showing the inner twists and emotional changes of the loyal ministers, traitors, innovators, conservatives and other figures in the Hundred Days Restoration.
The role of the Guangxu Emperor in this round of drama is played by Zhang Yicong, as a new generation of actors in mandarin, Zhang Yicong fully interprets the inner contradictions of the characters with superb acting skills and excellent emotional control. The role of the Guangxu Emperor in the play requires the actor to be restrained and restrained, but also to have a strong explosive force, finding a balance between control and explosion. Zhang Yicong's grasp of rhythm and emotional control in the play are relaxed and relaxed, and his acting skills are not inferior to the Guangxu Emperor's a-corner Zhou Jie.
As a supporter of the Restoration faction, the Guangxu Emperor loved the Qing Dynasty, but he was too eager to make quick gains. Zhang Yicong was fully devoted in the play, choked up several times, and cried out in sadness and despair in the face of the fragmented territory of the Great Qing Dynasty, "I love this Great Qing!" "。 Through his emotional performance, the audience felt the indignation of the Guangxu Emperor in the face of the decline of his homeland and his adoptive mother, Empress Dowager Cixi, and was eager to save the Qing Dynasty's pathos by changing the law.
Before playing the Guangxu Emperor, Zhang Yicong studied history for this role, did a lot of homework to know more about Guangxu and familiar with the Pengshu Transformation Method, re-acquainted with the emperor who represented the decline in the eyes of ordinary people, and understood his sadness and final struggle that wanted to change and save the Qing Dynasty from the fall of the country, but was unable to return to heaven.
The lively zhang Yicong, a lively boy born in Changchun, Jilin Province, graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy in 2015 and was admitted to the National Drama Theatre in the same year. Zhang Yicong once played the contradictory and cowardly Basha in the drama "Youth Forbidden Game", and he devoted himself to the creation of the role and explored the inner world of "Basha". In the drama "Upward and Downward", Zhang Yicong challenged himself in a breakthrough, one person playing two roles, and also received high praise.
Zhang Yicong starred in the movie "Snowstorm" and the TV series "Fu Shao" will also be launched this year, and I am very much looking forward to the performance of this powerful drama student on the screen.
