The play is based on Mei Lanfang's "Tai zhen wai biography" and "Noble Concubine Drunk" and other re-adaptations and creations, on the basis of traditional Peking Opera, the concept of modern stage art is integrated, which has both the charm of the classical beauty of Meipai Peking Opera and a modern sense.
Stills from the new version of "Tang Guifei"
The new version of "Tang Guifei" highlights the main line of love between Yang Guifei and Tang Ming Emperor, and strengthens the ink on historical backgrounds such as the "Anshi Rebellion". 18 years ago, "Tang Guifei" was a joint performance of three Yang Yuhuan and three Li Longji. The new version of "Tang Guifei" is a one-person to the end, which makes the lead actor Shi Yihong more targeted for the singing and dancing of Mei Pai art; he can also show and try performances different from traditional forms according to his own strengths, and explore newer opera dance expressions.
It is reported that the bridge section of the original "Noble Concubine Drunk" has been replaced by new content. The "CuiPan Dance" in Mei Lanfang's "Tai Zhen Wai Biao" also reappeared on the stage after the redesign. In Monday's "One Drama, One Appreciation" "Behind the Scenes of the Tang Dynasty Concubines", Shi Yihong will tell the audience how the famous scene "Cuipan Dance" in the play is made? Yang Nailin, the composer of the play, will also share the creative process of the musical part of this symphonic Peking Opera, telling how he combines Peking Opera and symphony with East and West.
Immediately after that, the next day, Li Jun, who played Emperor Tang Ming in the play, will bring the second lecture of "one play and one reward", combined with his own performance experience to interpret the infatuated emperor of Tang Minghuang's generation. At the same time, Li Jun, who has long been out of the circle on douyin with his witty passages, will also show his calligraphy skills to everyone on the spot, so that people can see how the famous masters of Peking Opera can understand traditional culture in calligraphy, and bring this elegant atmosphere to the performance.

In addition, "Yun Meiyu" will also open the "Online Red Chamber Theater" to enjoy the classic artistic charm of the Red Chamber across the century with literary celebrities and new talents in music and art. Zhan Dan, professor of the School of Humanities of Shanghai Normal University, and Guo Qianyun and Zhao Xinyu, outstanding young actors of Shanghai Yue Theatre, will jointly interpret "Dream of the Red Chamber" from the two aspects of literature and opera. And Yang Yang, a disciple of Mr. Song Changrong, a famous scholar of the Xun Sect, will also share the Wang Xifeng who "has ten thousand hearts and eyes" at least.
It is worth mentioning that the finale for the first round of "Yun Meiyu" is "Listen to the Commentary bomb and talk about the story of old Shanghai". Gao Bowen, head of the Shanghai Bomb Critics Troupe, will start from "eating" and take you into the most beautiful Way of life in Jiangnan. How did the bomb spread and become popular in Jiangnan? Why do you hold the three strings and pipa and tell stories in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects, and why do they become the "sound of Jiangnan" in the memory of generations of people? Gao Bowen will use "Shanghainese logic" to interpret the history of private life in Shanghai society from the 1960s to the 1990s. In a unique soft tone, open up shanghai's thirty years of past.
