Shenzhen News Network, December 16, 2021 (Reporter Zeng Shuqi) On the evening of December 12 and 14, the musical "Youth Bay Area Quartet" was staged at the Xixiang Hall, interpreting the struggle story of the youth of the Bay Area for the audience. The musical "Youth Bay District Quartet" is funded by the special fund for the development of publicity, culture and sports in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, sponsored by the Shenzhen Bao'an District Federation of Literary and Art Circles, guided by the Shenzhen Dramatists Association, organized by the Shenzhen Bao'an District Dramatists Association, the Shenzhen Bao'an District Public Cultural Service Center, the Shenzhen Bao'an District Xixiang Street Office, and the Shenzhen Lychee Youth Theater Troupe and the Drama, Film and Television College of the Faculty of Arts of Shenzhen University , fully demonstrates the creative concept and innovative courage of the main creative team. This drama is a new achievement of in-depth cooperation between all walks of life, and has made an important breakthrough in the musical theater works with the theme of the Greater Bay Area, and is also a successful practice that follows the requirements of "finding the theme, telling the story well, and discharging the fine products" of the creation of theatrical works. Conveying the spirit of struggle in the new era, the story of small people refracts the legend of the great era "Youth Bay Area Quartet" to put the story in the era scene of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, starting from the overtime work led by Zhang Shubai, the "royal sister" of Gao Leng, to the life and career trajectory of the female master Wei Qing, the rich second generation Li Yun, the builder chen Jishen who came to Shenzhen, the local boss Who loves to make money, and other characters, connecting a series of legendary stories of the development of the Greater Bay Area under the "one country, two systems", from the perspective of the city, business and academic circles. From the side, it cleverly reflects the financial crisis under the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the integration of the Greater Bay Area, industrial upgrading, independent innovation, the strategy of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the echoes of the 18th and 19th National Congresses of the Communist Party of China in the Greater Bay Area, and the issuance and implementation of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, showing the grass-roots social projection and huge social information capacity of the great era process, and reflecting the prosperity of the hong Kong and Macao regions and the mainland under the impetus of the national strategy for the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Taking the protagonist's struggle and growth process as the main line, it reflects the great development achievements made by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in the political, social, cultural and economic fields, and reflects the gratifying changes of "one country, two systems" to promote the integration of Hong Kong and Macao into the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The text structure using "Little Stories" is characteristic of this musical. Struggling young people are dreamers in the new era, this drama gives the "initiative" of storytelling to the "Bay Area Youth", using the way of telling that young people like, using diversified musical forms, to tell their own and their peers in the big era of struggle and struggle of the small story. Screenwriter Huang Yongzhen believes that the small stories of young people in the Bay Area are closely related to the Chinese logic of the new era. The great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics provides fresh materials for young people to tell the "small stories" of the new era, and the development concept of peaceful development and win-win cooperation provides a value premise for the people of the world to accept the "small stories" of Chinese youth. Director Chen Jianjian said at the beginning of the construction of this drama that he hoped to use the stage design of dots and lines and the staggered layers of the surface, the color induction in the color block as the visual impact, and the "no boundary" pop singing to promote the dramatic plot and character emotional expression, so that the audience can integrate into it. Throughout the play, there are three core viewpoints: first, to cultivate young people to use what they have seen and heard to tell "things" and "feelings" in a personified narrative way, to organically combine the rejuvenation of the country and the nation with their own stories of struggle, so that the new era can be infiltrated into the life of every young person's struggle; the second is to show the "ideas" and "living methods" of young people in the new era through the "small stories" of young people in the Bay Area, so as to show the "new" of the era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the "new" image of Chinese youth in the new era; the third is to refine the new "law" of Chinese youth in the new era Behind the common "theory" with the world's youth, the "small stories" of young people with thousands of differences always contain similar laws of interaction between people and society, which is also an important premise for young people in the Bay Area, Chinese youth and young people from all over the world to communicate. Digging deep into the youthful expression of the grand theme and highlighting the youthful atmosphere with a youthful appearance, "The Quadritheque of Youth Bay Area" transforms the grand narrative of the national strategy into the narrative of the people who struggle to grow up and the family is sad and happy, making the story more pyrotechnic and greatly enhancing the aesthetic proximity and sense of involvement. This musical drama is ingenious and tells the story of ordinary young people represented by Li Yun, an entrepreneurial youth who returned from overseas study, Zhang Shubai, a company executive, Chen Jishen, a takeaway brother, Zhang Jiao, a company employee, and Wang Jingjing, who seized the opportunity of the times of one country, two systems, the integration of the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, and the construction of the Greater Bay Area to pursue their ideals of life and realize their self-worth. Killing on the streets, and writing about the dreams and struggles of ordinary people, making a living and starting a business, growing up and down, love and affection, loyalty and betrayal, righteousness and evil deeds, business wars and business paths in the great changes of the times, skillfully casting together the charm of regional culture and the era of the construction of the Greater Bay Area, the plot is ups and downs, fascinating, and successfully shapes the group portrait of patriotic young strivers in the Bay Area. Xu Jiuyufan, the actor of the Internet technology company Zhang Shubai, said: "Zhang Shubai's character is patriotic and just, tenacious and chivalrous, and has a sense of home and country. Zhang Haoran, played by Li Yun, said excitedly: "I like this role very much, I have a sense of substitution, in the role I am more like an explorer, exploring my own entrepreneurship, exploring my dreams." "Chen Jishen's actor Yi Chendong said: Chen Jishen is a de-personalized takeaway brother role, a role that is close to the style of documentary, and when shaping the role, he completes the story as an ordinary symbol." Xu Wenke, the actor of Wei Qing, sighed: "Wei Qing, who returned from studying abroad, hopes to follow the pace of the country and find his new role in the development of the country. "This is the image of a new group of strivers growing up in the Greater Bay Area. In them, we can see the indomitable spiritual temperament of the sons and daughters of China, the hot-blooded image of the tide in the youth era of the Greater Bay Area, and the trend of the times when compatriots at home and abroad are integrated into the big family of the motherland. Liu Ziyuan, producer of the play, said: "'Youth Bay Area Quartet' is a musical that inspires the audience to strengthen their ideals and beliefs and ignite the passion for struggle, and looks at life with the spirit of realism and romantic feelings, which once again confirms this creative law and aesthetic path, and has achieved artistic innovation and breakthroughs. "Talking about "Bay Area Affairs", playing "Bay Area People" and "Youth Bay Area Quartet" focuses on the grassroots and tells a new story of "grounded gas, temperature and resonance". The stories in the play are all blended with real character experiences. The main creative team conducted solid interviews and research before creation, obtained informative and rich character materials, and retained many real and unique details of the prototype characters. Screenwriter Huang Yongzhen said: Our understanding of the craftsman spirit in literary and artistic creation is to seriously observe the details of life, seriously analyze the hearts of the characters, and understand the social phenomena cannot stay on the surface. Correspondingly, the story and characters cannot float in the sky, but must "land". Because it is the first musical drama work to focus on the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, in order to do better, the main creative team has invited industry representatives and industry representatives to hold symposiums many times to discuss the artistic presentation form, theme expression and social influence of "Youth Bay Area Quartet". This drama collects the stories of the people, writes about flesh and blood people, sings dreams, performs inner conflicts and struggles, praises the struggle of life, and arouses people's vision and confidence in a better life. This may be the way to create fine products.
