Cover news reporter Yan Wenwen reported from Beijing
On February 11, the ice dance drama "WE ARE ONE", which was performed by figure skating world champion and Winter Olympic silver medalist Pang Qing and Tong Jian and many figure skating team members, was successfully premiered at the Beijing Tianqiao Art Center Coliseum. As an ice performance activity during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, the play takes the inheritance and hope of the Olympic spirit as the theme, telling the story of contemporary Chinese ice and snow people working hard in the ice and snow industry.
After the performance, Pang Qing and Tong Jian were interviewed by the cover news and told the story behind the performance.
From campus drama to theater I want to do the best ice drama in China
"WE ARE ONE" tells the story of contemporary Chinese ice and snow people who, under the condition of lack of resources, abandon their families and work without fear of hardships, and use their faith and persistence in their hearts to work hard in the ice and snow industry. The story of two senior figure skating coaches leading their young players to prepare for the figure skating competition, during which there are laughter and tears, there is confusion in the growth period, there is also the firm persistence in frustration, and the ice language describes the growth experience of the coach and the team members to celebrate the family, which is another innovation and sublimation of the combination of sports and art. Let everyone know more about this fascinating ice sport.
In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Pang Qingtong began experimenting with ice dramas a long time ago, which stemmed from their experience as former professional figure skaters. According to Tong Jian, the performance at the Beijing Tianqiao Art Center Coliseum is actually the fourth revolution of the ice drama performance between the two. As early as 2016, they launched the country's first campus ice play, did a resident performance in 2017, toured from 2018 to the present, and this time performed in the theater, which was difficult and never tried. "Making ice from the ice rink and lighting is very different from what we have experienced, but I hope that this attempt will give our team more experience and give the market more imagination." I hope to make the best ice drama in China and the best ice show in China through hard work. ”
Developed under the market mechanism combining sports with the arts
As figure skaters, Pang Qing and Tong Jian once won a valuable silver medal for the Chinese team at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Pang Jian told reporters: "We are very excited about the Winter Olympics in Beijing, in fact, we are very eager to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, but we are too old." I myself have participated in 4 sessions, so I especially hope to help the Beijing Winter Olympics through another form. ”
In his view, making a good ice drama is actually a direction for the marketization and normalization of sports in the future: "The two of us have actually been doing various innovations. We've been doing shows since 2003 and then we've been involved in a lot of international events. We used to compete, now we are coaching, teaching students, and we are also doing ice culture performances, and I hope that through the current attempts, we can let the children who are currently engaged in ice and snow show the various skills they have learned on this stage. In addition, through the combination of sports and culture, let everyone know what this generation of snow people are doing. ”
In their vision, this form can actually not only encourage more children to participate in ice and snow sports, but also give future retired athletes a new career track: "We hope to let more people understand the development of the contemporary ice and snow market, and combine sports with art and culture." Sports is also a new way of art, but also let sports plug in the wings of art. In addition, it also gives professional players more choices, so that they have no worries. ”
Theater ice making is a difficulty The first co-rehearsal is a performance
From the stadium to the stage, making ice is a big difficulty. Pang Qing said in an interview that because of the problem of ice making, the performance did not even have a complete rehearsal from beginning to end, and the first rehearsal was in the premiere, but the effect was very good: "It is difficult to make ice in the theater, and when we entered the scene yesterday, we did not line up on the ice at all." When I came in the morning, because I was still making ice, I just walked around and didn't fully close here. Today's first rehearsal is the performance, and I think the effect is still very good. ”
Pang Qing told reporters that the quarrels in the play, the process of entanglement of those athletes, are actually a real state of the athletes: "The script is actually the real training and selection process. Show you how we prepared before the game, how we had arguments and quarrels through training, and between the players and the coach, it showed the state of the athletes before the game. ”
