Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 72nd anniversary of the founding of New China
Commissioned by the National Centre for the Performing Arts and produced and performed by the National Drama Theatre of China, the original drama "Live Broadcasting of the Founding Ceremony" will be staged at the National Centre for the Performing Arts from October 1 to 7 this year.
At the time of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 72nd anniversary of the founding of New China, the live broadcast story of the founding ceremony of the Founding Of the People's Republic of China will be put on the stage in the form of literary and artistic works, which is not only a tribute to the great party and the country by the two courts, but also praises every ordinary and great person who has contributed to the founding of New China by reviewing the bits and pieces of the past years, so that the people of the Chinese will not forget the way they came, do not forget their predecessors, and do not forget their heritage.
Praise the motherland, let the main theme of the theme be renewed day by day
"Live Broadcasting the Founding Ceremony" takes the founding ceremony of Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949 as the starting point, and unfolds the little-known story behind this great historical moment. Tian Qinxin, the screenwriter and director of this drama, said: "What impressed me was the six words of 'live broadcast of the founding ceremony'. It is hard to imagine that in Beiping in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, faced with the threat of technical bottlenecks, rudimentary equipment and the destruction of latent agents, such a group of lovely and respectable broadcasters did not hesitate to work day and night, overcome many difficulties, successfully completed the task of broadcasting the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, and sent out the 'founding voice' of new China to the world. In the play, the technical workers of the People's Liberation Army of Xinhua Radio Station and a group of technicians of the former Kuomintang fought hand in hand to complete this "Tianzi" task and opened a period of secret coexistence. Among them, there are contradictions between different camps, reverence for scholarship, and conspiracies of secret agents, and Tian Qinxin said that the story itself is wonderful enough to attract people into the theater.

From the two editions of "Wild Ride" to the CCTV program "China in the Story" and the large-scale sitcom epic "The Great Journey" celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Tian Qinxin has continuously opened new stage chapters in the creation of the main theme theme. The drama "Wild Ride", which is based on the life experience of Chinese lyricist Tian Han, was premiered in the Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University in 2001, and became a sensation, and in 2017, the new version of "Wild Ride" Tian Qinxin made a "visual transformation", using instant photography on the stage, and eight cameras cut and reorganized the stage space. The 2019-2020 large-scale cultural program "China in the Story" recorded the characters and stories in the 70-year history of New China, and Tian Qinxin, as the general director of the drama of the program, led the creative team, in order to reproduce each classic as perfectly as possible, read a large number of historical materials, did enough desk homework, adhered to the "one play and one grid" in creation, and pioneered the "1 + N" multi-stage space. In the creation of "The Great Journey", in order to show the historical picture of the Communist Party of China through a hundred years, Tian Qinxin introduced 5G new technologies to help the visual expression of the drama on the super large screen.

In the drama "Live Broadcast Founding Ceremony", the technique of real-time photography will be used again, continuing the innovative idea of "instant shooting, instantaneous editing, real-time screen projection" in "The Great Journey", using real-time shooting in nearly half of the whole play, projecting onto multiple screens, so that performers can become the subject of film at any time, not only ensuring the viewing effect of all angles in the theater, but also allowing reality and memory to shuttle on the stage and shine together.
Another innovation of the play is the construction of a rare vertical stage in terms of stage art. Tian Qinxin introduced: "The audience usually sees a horizontal stage, and this time we will see a vertical stage, although the actors are in a horizontal stage, but we only give a vertical light area. Usually we didn't use the back stage too much, everyone was in the front, this time we were going to change the visual effect of the audience. ”
Praise the people, pay tribute to the heroes behind the broadcasting industry
The drama "Live Broadcast of the Founding Ceremony" puts the broadcasting industry on the theatrical stage, and positively represents the highlight moment of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China from the perspective of the broadcaster.
Tian Qinxin said that the task of live broadcasting the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China faced a series of specific difficulties under the conditions at that time: how to collect the sound from the tower of Tiananmen Square, where the broadcast station was arranged, how to transmit the sound back during the military parade, and how to distinguish the sound at the scene... Because of its strong professionalism and the fact that many materials are already difficult to find, I consulted industry experts and party history experts in the creative process.
△ Relevant engineering and technical personnel referred to the advanced equipment of foreign countries at that time, researched and improved a large-scale sound amplification device, and welded nine horns on a metal plate to form a strong volume. These nine trumpets are known as the "Nine-Headed Bird" and have made a great contribution to solving the problem of amplification in the square.
In the play, the real character prototype is selected, and Tian Qinxin introduced, "Liao Chengzhi, the first director of the China Youth Art Theater, the predecessor of the National Theatre of China, was the director of xinhua radio station of the former Yan'an Radio Station. After the live broadcast of the founding ceremony, this group of PLA staff of Xinhua Radio took off their uniforms and became members of the people. Since then, the Central People's Radio and the Beijing People's Radio have been born one after another, and the broadcasting industry in New China has also flourished. As a result of the birth of the Youth Art Theatre, Liao Chengzhi was transformed from director to the first president of our China Youth Art Theatre. ”
Reflecting the fiery real life, the dream of the actor artist
As the performance approached, Tian Qinxin said: "The young and middle-aged performing artists in our theater are working overtime together, and they are also meeting the challenge like the live broadcast of the founding ceremony. ”

This year is also the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the National Drama Theatre of China, as the latest original drama of the Chinese dialect, "Live Broadcasting the Founding Ceremony" contains the spirit and quality of all the artists of the National Dialect.
Tian Qinxin introduced the history of the National Drama Theatre of China in his narration of this play: the National Drama Theatre of China is an important town of table directing art, there are many outstanding artists working in this theater, and the establishment of the National Drama Theatre can be traced back to 1941, the Yan'an Youth Art Theater formed by the Sichuan Overseas Drama Troupe, the Northwest Youth Salvation Congress General Theater troupe and the small troupe. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he and some members of the Lu Xun Art Institute in Yan'an formed the Second Regiment of Northeast Literary and Art Work.
The spirit of Chairman Mao Zedong's speech at the Yan'an Literary and Art Forum in 1942 should be an excellent realistic theme, which gave us great encouragement to the Yan'an Youth Art Theater. By the founding of New China in 1949, the China Youth Art Theater was born, and its predecessor was the Yan'an Youth Art Theater. The China Youth Art Theater is based on the main creative ideas that reflect the fiery real life and reflect the lives of young people in the socialist period.
In 1956, the Experimental Theater Troupe of the Central Academy of Drama broke away from the Central Experimental Drama Theatre, and the first president was Mr. Ouyang Yuqian, the first president of the Central Academy of Drama. The general director is Sun Weishi, the daughter of Premier Zhou Enlai, and the Experimental Drama Theatre is based on experimentation and exploration, including the exploration of foreign plays. By 2001, the two courts had merged into the National Theatre of China, and both theaters had condensed the creative efforts of many artists, and also produced many outstanding performing artists, directors and stage artists.
"So in the year of the centenary of the founding of the Party and the 72nd anniversary of the founding of New China, it is also the 20th anniversary of the founding of our hospital, and at this time we came to perform the "Live Broadcast of the Founding Ceremony", and the actors of the whole crew were very excited." Tian Qinxin said that the cast this time is also one of the highlights of this drama: Zhang Tonglai, who played Li Dazhao in "The Age of Awakening", played the male protagonist of this drama; Wu Fan and Zhang Tong played the same role, and Tao Hong and Su Qing also played a role; in addition, audiences who like the drama variety show "Drama New Life" can also see Wu Pi in this drama. And Wang Lifu and Liu Wei, who played the big drama, only played "inconspicuous" roles in this drama.

Tian Qinxin mentioned that there are also some non-dedicated actors due to market influence and there is a sad phenomenon, hoping that actors return to the original intention to do a good job in this profession, "we may be more short of good performing artists, the National Theatre of China still provides such a good platform, so that everyone in the national theater can have the dream of being an artist, can improve and complete their artistic ideals." We hope that at this moment of strengthening the management of actors, the National Drama Theatre of China can work hard to direct the national stage art image of the National Drama Theater with a better spiritual outlook and more solid performance basic skills. ”
