"Shanghai Shanghai Theatre will focus on the mission and task of raising the banner, gathering people's hearts, cultivating new talents, revitalizing culture, and displaying the image, and continuously enhance creativity, influence and communication." On August 30, Mao Shanyu, president of the Shanghai Shanghai Theater, said at a seminar on the new drama "Chen Yi in Shanghai".
"Chen Yi in Shanghai" was performed in the first round of the Shanghai Grand Theatre last week and received praise from audiences and experts. Critic Li Guoyi believes that the play uses red culture as the spiritual background of creation, reflects the party's concept of ruling for the people, and the use of stage patterns and videos and costumes has the characteristics of Shanghai culture. Six generations of shanghai theater actors gathered in "Chen Yi in Shanghai", leaving a deep impression on the critic Fang Jiajun, "The talent training of Shanghai theater has entered a virtuous circle, and the old, middle-aged and young actors have their own styles." "Playwright Luo Huaizhen proposed that the creation of new plays needs to pay attention to whether the plot can resonate with the current audience," "Chen Yi in Shanghai" tells several stories in shanghai when it was liberated, which were in ruins and in the midst of turmoil, all involving our party's work policy and the interests of the people. ”
Although "Chen Yi in Shanghai" is a Shanghai opera, it has also been well received by musicians. Tan Dun praised the drama for its grandeur and taste, "I didn't expect that Shanghai opera could make such a big pattern of works." Throughout the performance, the audience was so enthusiastic and the applause continued, indicating that everyone liked it. Huang Ying believes that the singing voice of "Chen Yi in Shanghai" is beautiful and beautiful, and the whole production is atmospheric and exquisite, reflecting the spirit of excellence in artistic creation.
The brother drama actors also took inspiration from "Chen Yi in Shanghai", and Guan Dongtian was shocked by "Chen Yi in Shanghai" like Tan Dun, "I never thought that Shanghai opera could have such a big position and big pattern, and the play was very attractive." Jiang Peipei said, "The director's scheduling of actors and stage lighting are very advanced, very sense of the times, and show the living conditions of that era vividly." The 33 days of rehearsal of such a big drama made me very touched to see it. ”
Walking out of the Grand Theater, the audience was discussing "Chen Yi in Shanghai", and some said, "As a native of Shanghai, the impression of Shanghai opera is very loud and soft, and I can't imagine that the theme of revolutionary war is also so wonderful." My mom and I came to see it together, and my hands hurt. The audience who watched Shanghai opera for the first time said, "I like pop music, and the beauty of Shanghai opera melody and singing voice makes me enjoy it, and I find that it has commonalities with popular music." ”
His uncle Hong Zhenquan participated in the Battle of Cotton, the War of Grain and the Battle of Coal during the Liberation of Shanghai, and after graduating from the National Wusong Merchant Marine School, he boarded the ship according to the instructions of the party, risked his life in the rain of bullets and bullets, drove a freighter, and rushed to the transportation lifeline from Shanghai to the north, without contact with his parents for a full year and a half, "My grandfather and grandmother once thought that my uncle was sacrificed. I was moved to tears by "Chen Yi in Shanghai", and countless people sacrificed their youth and even their lives for the liberation and defense of Shanghai. ”
Shanghai Shanghai Theater often sends plays to Shanghai Maritime University. Wang Weiyi, a teacher at Shanghai Maritime University, said, "From "Deng Shichang" to "Dunhuang Daughter" to "Chen Yi in Shanghai", in the process of more than ten years of cooperation, we are pleased to see that the Shanghai Theater has great feelings, big ideas and big space in the creative theme, and has practiced the spirit of 'walking with the times' in a down-to-earth manner, and stepped out of the unique creative style of the Shanghai Theater. ”
