Since the beginning of this round of the epidemic, our cities and people have been actively fighting the epidemic, and in the special period, some industries have had to temporarily close their businesses in order to fight the epidemic. However, in the fight against the Opmi-Kerong virus, many people have contributed their own strength. The actors of the Ming Hai Tang Xiangsheng Theater gave full play to their music and art expertise, and did not forget to create one popular work after another when they were at home, sending a particularly inspiring "music art material" to the anti-epidemic front.
The suspension does not forget the responsibility of the artist
Lu Tong, head of Minghaitang Xiangsheng Theater, said in an interview: Although the performance of Minghaitang was suspended due to the epidemic, the operation of the theater was temporarily stopped, and our actors and staff also entered the home office mode. As a citizen, seeing that because of the epidemic, the whole society at all levels are thrown into the fight against the epidemic, we are an art institution, all composed of qu art workers, the front-line medical workers and volunteers work very hard, ordinary citizens are also actively cooperating with all the work, can we qu artists create some works to cheer them up.
So Lu Tong began to mobilize the whole society to take action, and everyone responded very positively, and no one retreated, but showed more enthusiasm. Both cameras and video clips need to be done by human labor, and no one proposes any material rewards. Recording at home is not as convenient as in the workplace, and the actors overcome the difficulties on their own. Li Chaochao, the performer of "The Troubles of the Aomi Kerong Mutant Strain", is a teacher who teaches in Pingdu, and he has to give online lessons to students who study at home every day, and he also has to prepare lessons, but he still overcomes his own difficulties and creates and performs "The Troubles of the Omicron Mutant Strain" in an effective time.
Today, two new works are still being recorded, one is Chen Jia's "Watching Spring", and the other is Qi Peng's "Omicron Virus Prevention", which is also very interesting. In post-production. In addition, a few days ago, The Minghaitang Xiangsheng Theater also produced an anti-epidemic public welfare propaganda film that cheered for Qingdao, "The epidemic is scattered and blossoming, looking forward to spring together", which is also recommended that everyone search from the Internet, which is very inspiring. Lu Tong said.
Actor Qi Peng performed at home, and his son watched from the sidelines
Not only that, on March 21, the Minghaitang Xiangsheng Theater, as the director unit of qingdao Xiangsheng Art Research Association, donated disinfectant hand sanitizer, instant noodles, ham sausage, milk and mineral water and other epidemic prevention materials and daily necessities for the frontline anti-epidemic in the Yutang community of Hushan Road Street in Licang District.

Creating anti-epidemic works at home is inspiring
"Omikron is in a hurry, it is a bad thing, it is not flowing around and hiding very hidden, for the virus to engage in sneak attacks, we should be emergency, you don't get on fire first, you don't worry, you just listen to me to tell you carefully ..."
This is the beginning of the latest work "Listen to Me Say I Fight the Epidemic" created by Chen Jia, a cross-talk actor at Qingdao Minghaitang Xiangsheng Theater yesterday. Catchy language, coupled with the unique rhythm of Allegro, and the lines compiled from the experiences he has seen and heard, make the work particularly attractive and highly disseminated on the Internet.
Chen Jia is working at home
Chen Jia is both the creator and one of the performers of "Listen to Me Fight the Epidemic", and in 2008, she studied under Zhao Leping, a well-known music artist in Island City and the artistic director of Minghaitang Xiangsheng Theater. After he began to learn Allegro, he gradually became a quite accomplished young actor in the island city.
Zhao Leping revises his work at home
Chen Jia said: "I have also created several works before, and Teacher Zhao Leping gave me a suggestion a few days ago, for example, during the epidemic period, you can express the people around you, the things around you, and some relevant epidemic prevention regulations and requirements in a witty and humorous way, and you must also be grounded." So this work with a strong sense of substitution, "Listen to Me Fight the Epidemic", was born.
Works are not only created by one person, but also inseparable from the collective wisdom of the team. Chen Jia said: "A work will be repeatedly revised and discussed in our WeChat group, and everyone in the group will also make good suggestions to each other."
"As theater actors, it is clear to everyone what the suspension means to us, but we are first and foremost a music artist, and in this special period, we should create good works with a positive and optimistic attitude to inspire the public, and we cannot consider personal gains and losses." Only when the epidemic is finally controlled can we perform for the audience on stage again. Chen Jia said.
