As a screenwriter and director, he is a hero behind the scenes. The works he participated in creating and rehearsing, "Tears of the Leader", "Looking at the Sky", "Red Flag Spectrum", and "24 Hours of Life and Death", which are familiar to the Audience in Tianjin and can be said to be well-known. His world is lifelike and fascinating. Between the lines, it has created a sour, sweet, bitter and spicy life on the stage. He is the first target of "The Most Beautiful Cultural Person" in 2022, and he is also the 189th guest of the column since its inception - the director of the art committee of Tianjin North Performing Arts Group, the artistic director of Tianjin People's Art Theater, and the national first-class screenwriter - Zhong Hai.
Zhong Hai's first job in Tianjin Renyi was stage lighting, because of his excellent business, he was positioned as an excellent successor to stage lighting very early. However, no one thought that Zhong Hai, who was in his early twenties, was still a literary and artistic youth who liked to write. He loves to watch dramas, prefers to write drama reviews, and writes more and gradually becomes a drama critic of the unit. Slowly, Zhong Hai had an idea in his heart to go to the Central Academy of Drama to study writing. Coincidentally, it didn't take long for the Central Academy of Drama to start nationwide enrollment, so how could Zhong Hai miss this good opportunity?
After graduating from Chinese opera, Zhong Hai became an excellent screenwriter in Tianjin Renyi. He has created many works such as "Escort" and "Tears of leaders". When he created "Tears of the Leader", Zhong Hai had very little information on hand. In order to create this drama well, he went alone to a village in Baodi to learn about the materials. In the end, "Tears of the Leader" won the Tianjin New Repertoire Exhibition Outstanding Repertoire Award at that time.
Tears of the Leader
For Tianjin Renyi, Jinwei drama is the golden sign of the theater. "Gate Six" and "The Fourth Master" are all representative drama works of Tianjin People's Art. During Zhong Hai's tenure, he strengthened the creation of Jinwei drama, and the drama he participated in creating and arranging, "Wangtian Roar", is one of the representative works of Jinwei drama.

"The Fourth Master"
In recent years, Tianjin Renyi has continuously tried the strategy of "borrowing a boat to go to sea", that is, inviting film and television stars and directors to rehearse dramas. For example, Liu Xiaoqing's "Magnificent Style" and Wu Jing'an's "Red Flag Spectrum" have created a good reputation. However, as everyone knows, in the early years, Zhong Hai was also worried about such a "borrowing a boat to go to sea".
"Magnificent"
In 2013, the "Red Flag Spectrum" was established
Zhong Hai is never satisfied with the status quo, in addition to doing dramas, he will also try cross-border cooperation. Just in 2021, Zhong Hai participated in the creation and rehearsal of the large-scale revolutionary historical commentary drama "Proud Yang" of the Tianjin Commentary Baipai Theater Troupe. Received a good response and word of mouth.
It should be said that from the association with drama in his youth, to the Lingqi who was in charge of Tianjin Renyi, to the executive of Tianjin North Performing Arts Group, Zhong Hai's life trajectory has never left the art of drama, which makes him fascinated.
Today, his love for the art of drama is still not diminished by half a point. He once expressed: "I like to communicate with actors, I like to watch plays and write scripts. If I could, I would like to spend my life with drama. ”
In this issue, the famous screenwriter and director Zhong Hai will tell us the wonderful story of his drama life.
