What will the big world of performing arts do in the future?
Yesterday (January 15th), the special event "Performing Arts World : Better Looking in the Present Dynasty – 2022 New Year Drama" sponsored by the Office of the Great World Leading Group for Performing Arts was held in the South Hall of cadillac Shanghai Concert Hall. The event released the specifications for the use of nameplates in the Great World of Performing Arts, and 10 units such as the Shanghai Grand Theatre were the first to obtain nameplates and certificates. As this glittering nameplate reveals, "SHOW LIFE", the theater with "medals" hung up, makes the strength and confidence of "Shanghai is such a show" more sufficient.
The so-called Performing Arts World is a performing arts agglomeration and industrial development area with the People's Square in Huangpu District as the core area, radiating the entire Huangpu District and even the downtown area of Shanghai; among them, the core area within 1.5 square kilometers around the People's Square is the largest and highest density theater group in the country. The issuance of the nameplate is not only the recognition of the identity of the fixed performance venue in the three years since the establishment of the big world brand of performing arts, but also the formation of a development consensus to further enhance the brand influence and communication power and build the core demonstration area of the Asian performing arts capital. The nameplate is not a "lifetime system", and the fixed field that has been awarded needs to hang it in a conspicuous position, actively participate in various activities in the big world of performing arts, and enhance the reputation and influence of the big world of performing arts.
"What is the big world of acting?" It is a performing arts cultural brand, more precisely it is a cultural experience of the citizens. Xu Yanqing, deputy director of the Publicity Department of the Huangpu District Cpc Committee, secretary of the party group and director of the District Culture and Tourism Bureau, said in an interview with Xinmin Weekly that through theaters/spaces, repertoire, and audiences, a very important part of which connects a "big world of performing arts" is these theaters/spaces. "Installing nameplates and improving their identity can make it easier and more convenient for our citizens to access the theater, and also allow the space subjects of the big world of performing arts to participate more actively in it and provide citizens with a richer cultural supply."
The event also displayed the outstanding works of the first Performing Arts World Cultural and Creative Design Competition and the 2021 Performing Arts World Short Video Competition, and awarded awards. The first World Cultural and Creative Design Competition for Performing Arts received a total of 120 entries, from professional theaters, design companies, enthusiastic audiences, etc., and some of the design works have become real products in front of the audience. The 2021 Performing Arts World Short Video Competition collects a total of 58 works, including rich records of theater life, storytelling stories, and real experiences of endless love for stages and performances.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that a Jinan audience made a vlog submission of his experience in the world view of acting, although he could not come to the scene to receive the award due to the epidemic, his personal experience finally appeared in the form of a short drama - the Jinan girls who dragged the trolley box to watch the performance strung together actors, screenwriters, theater people, and operators, and presented the big world of performing arts through fragments such as Peking Opera "Wise Tiger Mountain", dance drama "Crested Ibis", Guofeng Music Scene "Sea Folk Music", song "Our Time" and other fragments to present the big world of performing arts. There are friends to gather" of the vibrant art street scene.

Indeed, when you come to the big world of acting, there are big dramas, good dramas, and popular dramas waiting for you at any time.
Since the launch of the "residency + tour" mode in July last year, the dance drama "The Eternal Electric Wave" and "Crested Ibis" have been performed in Shanghai nearly 100 times; by the end of the new round of residency on January 23 this year, "Radio Wave" will usher in the 400th performance - the high-quality, high-reputation dance drama "ceiling" makes peers envious.
The general manager of Wanping Theater Summer is one of them. In June last year, Wanping Theater was upgraded and returned with a new look, and this theater for opera naturally attracted the Shanghai Yue Theater, which was looking for a theater for resident performances in the world.
"Watch local dramas, go to Wanping." Coupled with contemporary Yue opera performance artists Qian Huili, Shan Yangping, Fang Yafen, Wang Zhiping, yue opera masters Chen Ying and Huang Hui, new Mesozoic Yue opera actors Yang Tingna, Wu Qun, Deng Huawei, Wang Qing, etc., and the youngest new generation of actors in Shangyue, Wang Wanna and Yu Guo, the luxurious lineup has attracted new and old opera fans. Summer revealed: "I met a 93-year-old grandmother in the theater trembling to watch "Dream of the Red Chamber", and did not get up and leave her seat for 3 hours; there was also a 3-year-old small audience, and the staff paid attention to him all the time and watched the whole scene, which was very interesting. ”
Perhaps only classics can cross the age difference of 90 years, and the residency of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is not only the return of traditional opera and the inheritance of classic repertoire, but also a new opportunity to enter a new era, embrace new audiences, and rejuvenate new vitality, thus empowering opera classics.
Also rejuvenated is the National Wind Music Scene "Sea Folk Music". For the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra, it is not unusual to perform at the Shanghai Concert Hall, but the resident performance is still the first time. "Every performance is creating and refreshing history" The residency changed the performance mode used by the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra in the past, and Yao Shenshen, music coordinator and rehearsal conductor, sighed: "In this continuous performance, the biggest impression to me is that we are making progress every day, and every day we are facing the audience with the mentality of the first premiere. After each day's performance, we will review all aspects, from the performances of the stage performers to the stage lighting and multimedia sound, to summarize what are the shortcomings of today, and which music has aroused the greatest resonance of the audience, and then adjust. Our aim is to constantly pursue perfection in details, including the closing of each piece, the grasp of the rhythm of the curtain, and constantly strive for excellence, to think about how to return the best quality and perfect performance to the audience in a better state. ”

Along with "Folk Music on the Sea", there is also a large-scale 3D mapping wall show of "The Story of Light and Sound". The modern integration of architecture, light and shadow, and Chinese music made the Shanghai Concert Hall a hot event in the city. Fang Liang, general manager of the Shanghai Concert Hall, found that many audiences chose the "one-stop" experience, first came to the 4th floor of the concert hall in the afternoon to punch in the exhibition, then made an appointment to enjoy the outdoor wall show, and finally entered the hall to watch the folk music performance, and before leaving, they would also buy cultural and creative products specially made for the performance. A strong linkage has been formed between the exhibitions, wall shows, and resident performances. Stimulating new momentum of cultural tourism through residency performances has formed a consensus in the industry, Fang Liang said: "In the process of the development of innovation and integration in the performing arts industry, we are taking a practical road with exploratory significance. From March 18th to 31st, "Sea Folk Music" will once again meet with the audience in the form of 'resident performance + immersive art special exhibition' to help promote Chinese music and promote Shanghai culture. ”
Nowadays, "national style" such as "Sea Folk Music" has become a fashion trend sought after by young people, and they also favor the Asian edifice star space. Ruan Hao, the person in charge of "Star Space" and the general manager of Yahua Lake, revealed that this year, Star Space plans to double the existing small theater on the basis of the same period, and the scale of more than 40 plays performed in the same place at the same time will incubate more outstanding domestic producers, actors and stage workers with "daily performance".
The Coliseum is also seeking new ideas. The 91-year-old Shanghai Concert Hall "opened" the door, and the artists of the Shanghai Opera House took to the balcony to perform immersive opera, which is the sincere work of the third year of the "Art Tree Project", one of the world's characteristic brands of performing arts. In the past three years, the "Art Tree Project" has continuously explored new ones, focusing on different art disciplines, and combining courses and performances to not only allow the public to approach art in an immersive experience, but also help those who have artistic dreams to take to the stage to realize themselves. Among the well-known, the "Art Tree Project" has become a shining cultural public welfare business card in the hearts of the people.
The success of the "Art Tree Project" also fully demonstrates the platform effect of mobilizing and gathering high-quality performing arts resources in the big world of performing arts. Zhang Songhua, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the Shanghai Grand Theatre Art Center, said: "In the future, the Shanghai Grand Theatre Art Center will also rely on the platform of 'Performing Arts World' to actively mobilize its creation, performance, talent and space resources, continuously enrich the types of public welfare cultural products, improve the supply capacity and service level of public welfare cultural activities, help promote the high-quality development of urban public cultural services, build the 'Shanghai Culture' brand, and enhance the soft power of the city." ”
Also held for three years is the Shanghai International Comedy Festival. At the end of each year, there are performances and activities with temperature, making comedy a way of life for more people. At the end of this year, the comedy festival will continue to take the big world of performing arts as the core activity area, aggregate high-quality and unique comedy content on the platform, and radiate comedy shock waves to city blocks through online and offline layout and cross-border integration, so as to build a new domestic comedy ecology. Yu Rongjun, director of the Shanghai International Comedy Festival and vice president of Shanghai Wenguang Performing Arts Group, stressed that in the future, the Shanghai International Comedy Festival will further link up top artists of multiple styles, relying on the theater groups and performing arts resources of the world of performing arts, select more international trend comedies, cultivate more local comedy rookies, incubate more new comedy works, and build a more vigorous comedy ecology.
There is a saying that movies extend a person's life by three times. The performance of the big world of performing arts, in the same way, because it shows the colorful changes and rich connotations of the world, it is equivalent to prolonging the life of the audience. At the event of the day, two enthusiastic audiences were also presented with the "Honorary Audience Certificate of the Great World of Performing Arts". Xiao Zhuang, a second-year student at Tongji University, watched 50 performances in the big world of performing arts in 2021 - at the end of last year, he watched five plays a week, "encountering strong actors, buying tickets in the front row; strong choreography, sitting in the back row 'listening', but also happy." Performing Arts World Public Welfare Tickets, Lowering the Threshold for Entering the Theater." In the past year, Miss Cheng, who has watched 47 performances in the acting world view, told Xinmin Weekly: "In fact, at first, my friends liked to watch all kinds of performances, so I recommended that I also watch more." I am engaged in the advertising industry, usually work pressure, after watching a few times, I think, hey, really good, relieve my pressure, let me very relaxed. Later, I will watch several times a week or a month, and when I meet someone I like very much, I will watch it repeatedly. Because you only look at it once, you can't do everything and get every point at once. For example, I have watched the musical "The Silent Truth" several times - I originally knew this IP, the musical (the story) was restored very well, cass, song, or good. "Flowers" was particularly shocking, singing to my goosebumps! ”
