In the 9.3-point high-reputation variety show "Drama New Life" that "quietly" went out of the circle, eight "non-famous" theater actors brought countless laughs and tears to the audience, and 74.6% of netizens gave five-star praise. In the program, "The Story of the Chicken Farm", "Out of the Mountain", "Chicken and Rabbit in the Cage", "Encounter • Like Water", "Brazil Brazil" and other high-scoring plays with an average score of 9+ were created under the eyes of the audience, and many audiences were touched in front of and behind the stage, inside and outside the play. Among the eight dramatists, actor Wu Pi's weighty performance and superb acting skills have conquered the hearts of many audiences.
Wu Pi graduated from the Musical Theatre Department of Beijing Dance Academy, was a university classmate with actor Huang Xuan, and is now an actor in the National Drama Theatre, where he has starred in works familiar to the public such as "Four Generations Together", "Beijing Fayuan Temple", "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden" and won the "International Academy of Arts Troupe Excellent Repertoire Exhibition Individual Outstanding Performance Award". At the 3rd Wuzhen Drama Festival, Wu Pi's work "Still" won the "Best Drama Award", the highest award in the youth competition unit. From the fourth session, Wu Pi became the preliminary judge of the youth competition.
Talking about the reasons for embarking on the path of drama in the first place, Wu Pi confessed in an exclusive interview with the cover news reporter: "Graduating from college is to survive, and I like to use drama as a means of survival." But he never lost because the drama is "nameless", "I want to be famous, go to filming, do variety shows." Maybe he'll be famous. For the original intention of participating in "New Life of Drama", Wu Pi's answer was touching: "Let the audience know what drama is, let more people enter the theater, and encourage the small partners who are struggling in the front line of the theater industry." But Wu Pi understands that it is difficult to achieve drama "breaking the circle" through a program. "Our purpose is to expand the circle, and it is very busy to do it."
Familiar with Wu Pi's audience guidance, he has also participated in "Paragon Tonight", "Saturday Night Live", "Happy Comedian" and other programs, and his performance has been praised as "a play between hands and feet", and has the reputation of "talented actor". When it came to "Drama New Life", the audience not only saw the performer on the stage who could make people laugh at any time, but also saw Wu Pi, a stable, elegant, talented and humorous dramatist in life. His inner dedication to the spirit of drama is admirable. "For me now, drama is the cleanest place to leave for myself!" Wu Pi said.
Wu Pi began to learn vocal music since he was a child, and then won the gold medal of the National Children's MTV Grand Prix. Later, he was sent by his parents to study Peking Opera. After entering the Beijing Dance Academy majoring in musical theater, he began to explore musical theater again. Wu Pi, who integrates music, opera, drama, actor and director, is able to shape his various images with ease. Through "Drama New Life", the audience saw his ups and downs of the drama, the ups and downs of the lines were very precise, and the stage image came alive.
"The most important part of the drama is the work itself, everything else is the process, the work is the result, and the audience will only care about the process if they see the satisfactory result." Although he has acted in many classic plays and created many excellent works, Wu Pi has never thought of deliberately passing on anything to the audience, "If there is nothing to pass on, the audience likes it." ”
In Wu Pi's view, drama is not lofty, "don't mention drama and feel very high, very far, in fact, she is around us, drama itself is thinking and expression, just like our lives." He hopes that in the future, people's attitudes toward theater will be "as ordinary as eating." For some young people who have just entered the industry, Wu Pi also put forward his own suggestions from the perspective of performance: "Performance itself is a feeling, there is no accurate standard, do not blindly learn from others, first see yourself." ”
In 2021, Wu Bi plans to make a new play and take his daughter to see the sea.
