According to statistics, the attendance rate of the first round of "Radio Wave" is more than 80%, and the synchronous national tour has traveled through 13 cities and staged 63 times, and the attendance rate has almost exceeded 90% of the local regulations.
"From the perspective of the industry, in recent years, it is very rare for Chinese dance dramas to be able to continue to perform in one theater for half a year, while also touring other cities across the country, so the entire Shanghai performance circle and even the national literary and art circles are paying attention to this residency." Chen Feihua, head of the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe, proudly said, "This is unique in the history of domestic dance drama, and we have created history." ”
"Residency + Tour" double line parallel
Let the "radio wave red" further sweep the country
Just this past December, the "Radio Wave" crew ushered in the "highest density in history" performances, and 47 performances were staged in the beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Fujian relays. Since its premiere in 2019, the footprints of "The Eternal Electric Wave" have spread to more than 40 cities across the country, conveying Shanghai's red culture, Jiangnan culture and Shanghai culture to audiences everywhere.
For more than three years, following this red journey, there are young people who have entered the theater for the first time, loyal fans who have two brushes and three brushes, or even more than fifty brushes, and audiences who have come to Shanghai with love and special for a play. Through time and space, "red radio waves" are not only received by today's young people, but also "radio waves red" has become the "annual main color" in their hearts. Lead actor Zhu Jiejing sighed on the social platform: "Even if it has reached the limit of exhaustion, you can find strength from the audience." ”
"Residency + Tour" two-line parallel mode
It also brought actor pressure to the theater troupe
In July last year, the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe published a wide range of hero posts and recruited "radio wave" actors nationwide. In the end, 50 young dancers from 14 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country stood out and joined the "radio wave" family with dreams. After two months of "devil" training, these young dancers faded away, grew and transformed rapidly, and handed over a beautiful answer sheet. In the past six months, Wang Jiajun, Zhu Jiejing, Hou Tengfei, Wang Jing, Fang Wen, Bi Ran, Han Ruize, Xu Ying, and the four groups of "Wind and Grace Rhyme" have traveled from place to place and built bridges, and the red "Radio Wave" echoes in their respective places.
Many actors use the words "unforgettable" to describe this unforgettable experience. Hao Xueyu, an actor who witnessed the "radio wave" from rehearsal synthesis to the final stage presentation, was deeply touched by the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe's strict control of every detail, "In this kind of working atmosphere, we must not relax, and because of this, we have also been able to make progress." Actor Wang Tian hopes that the knowledge and feelings learned in the troupe will influence more people who love dance.
"The Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe has created a place for young talents across the country to pursue their dreams." Chen Feihua said that the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe recruited new actors for the whole country and received nearly 200 professional dancers. After screening, 40 people came to Shanghai to take the exam, and 21 actors of the "Eternal Electric Wave" project also participated in the song and dance troupe recruitment examination. "The momentum is fierce! In recent years, the number of actors who want to come to the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe has increased significantly, which is inseparable from the demonstration effect of the national tour of benchmark plays such as "The Eternal Airwaves" and "Crested Ibis" and the Shanghai Residency. ”
As a city card of Shanghai
"Radio Waves" shows the leading effect of phenomenal repertoire
Promoting residency has become a major cultural phenomenon in the city
Recently, everyone can see in Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Lujiazui Oriental Pearl Tower, Hongqiao Airport Terminal and other urban landmarks, the dance drama "Eternal Electric Wave", "Crested Ibis" and a series of boutique performances, through the public cultural window, "show" the soft power of the city. The operation team of the "Radio Wave" resident performance also tried to continuously promote the out-of-circle effect of "Radio Wave" through more new ways of playing such as vibrato with goods.
"The Eternal Radio Wave and the Crested Ibis are another upgrade of the previous model, covering the audience and performance volume of 'very Broadway', which also shows that Shanghai has the basic appearance of an international cultural metropolis." Ma Chencheng, president of Shanghai Wenguang Performing Arts Group, said that the exploration of the first year of the dance drama residency has given a lot of inspiration to the performance market, "The group will also link up with its theater groups to tap more high-quality drama resources and cultivate the resident performance market around the content." Next, on the basis of acrobatics, immersive drama, and dance drama, we will further try to introduce more types of residencies, such as drama, musical, classical music, etc. ”
