Ayunga became the head of the country's first state-owned musical theater troupe

On the afternoon of January 25, Beijing Performing Arts Group held the 2022 work meeting of the musical theater troupe in an electric classroom in the Beijing Opera and Dance Theater, and issued a letter of appointment to the group's musical theater actor Ayunga, officially appointing him as the head of the musical troupe.

Ayunga's debut as the head of the musical theater troupe was particularly low-key, wearing a dark casual suit, there was no star shelf at all, he and other staff members moved tables and chairs to tidy up the scene, and then sat on the side silently familiar with the speech.

Ayunga said: "The Beijing Opera and Dance Theater is a place that nurtures me and gives me a heavy responsibility. With my professionalism, a little experience and influence, helping the development of Chinese musical theater is my next career. I will strive to fulfill the responsibility of an artist and a party member and live up to my mission. ”

Dong Ning, deputy general manager of Jingyan Group, said that he chose Ayunga as the head of the musical theater troupe because he has been immersed in self-improvement in the stage field for many years, continuous research and efforts, and has become a high-level musical actor, "At the same time, he is both moral and artistic, strict requirements for all aspects of himself, although he has achieved certain achievements, he is still willing to endure hardships and work hard, and plays an exemplary role in the team." In Dong Ning's view, Ayunga has the ability and willingness to lead everyone forward together," In the musical "In the Distance", he is not only a performer, but also participates in the creation of music and performance, doing a lot of work on the dissemination of the main melody works, and influencing many young people. ”

Ayunga said that taking over the responsibility of the leader stems from his sense of mission for musical theater, "At present, the development of musical theater has ushered in a perfect moment of favorable time and place, you can't just take care of your own acres and acres of land, you have to do more for the musical." ”

He said that in the future, Beige Musical Theatre Company will focus on the cultivation of musical theater talents and the creation of repertoire. In his view, the current domestic musical theater creation is not mature enough, and it is still necessary to improve the level of creation by introducing and copying foreign classic works, and then create our own original works, "Now China's musical theater creation has not yet found a real direction, it is still groping, it takes more time, more people to participate." ”

As the first musical theater troupe affiliated to the state-owned theater troupe in China, the creation of the main theme works is undoubtedly a very important part, but the difficulty is also greater. However, Ayunga is not worried, "Many people may have misunderstandings about the main melody works, in fact, the main melody works also have to tell human stories, and to fall into people's hearts, they need clever and innovative ways of expression." ”

As a star, Ayunga is busy with work, but now as the leader of the group, he has to do some abandonment. Ayunga said that in the future, he will definitely spend more time in the group to cultivate talents. Through some understanding in the early stage, he found that the discovery of musical theater talents can change the way of thinking, "It is not necessary to learn musical theater people to do musical theater, some people who sing well can also do well after acting training, and we need more guidance." ”

"I must do things in a down-to-earth manner, and my appointment as the head of the regiment is not a figment of the name, I will definitely do something." Ayunga believes that there are too many unprofessional people in the musical theater industry, so the results are often unsatisfactory, "people who understand may not be able to make high-scoring works, but they can definitely pass." I'm pretty sure that the plays I make don't necessarily reach eighty or ninety, but they will make the audience feel that the ticket is worth it, at least in terms of performance. ”

It is understood that the Beige Musical Theater Company will create an original drama in the first half of the year in 2022, and concentrate on creating a Chinese version of the classic musical in the second half of the year. "In the future, our troupe will be built in the East Third Ring Road, and the unique conditions will definitely attract more people to participate in it and create good works." When it comes to the future, Ayunga is full of confidence.

The establishment of a musical theater troupe in Beige by Jingyan Group also means that the group will plan from the top level in the second decade and fully develop the musical theater industry. Dong Ning said that according to the development trend of domestic musical theater, The Beijing Performance Group will firmly grasp the market opportunities and strive to achieve the leading role of state-owned literary and art academies in the cultural industry. The troupe will launch various musicals with market influence year by year as planned, and at the same time aim at the future use of the new theater of Beijing Opera and Dance Theatre, continuously accumulate original works of musical theater, and forge a new path for the creation and development of Chinese musical theater.
