In the Chinese theater industry, there is only one person who can be titled "Great Director" in front of his name, and that is Lin Zhaohua, 79 years old.
For Chinese small theater drama, it is Lin Zhaohua's "Absolute Signal" directed by Lin Zhaohua in 1982, which has become the symbol of the birth of "Chinese small theater".
For drama directors such as Meng Jinghui and Lai Shengchuan, who now have countless fans, Lin Zhaohua is a predecessor who makes them happy and sincere.
For China's film emperors and actresses, Lin Zhaohua is a great director who can make them give up tens of millions of film remuneration to follow.
Pu Cunxin (Huabiao Award, Golden Rooster Award).
He has worked with Lin Zhaohua for the longest time, and his cooperative repertoire includes "Tea House", "Hamlet", "Wotou Guild Hall", "White Deer Plain", "Lobbyist", "Li Bai", "Great General Kou Liulan" and so on.
Pu Cunxin said that Lin Zhaohua was like Sun Wukong: "He is like a grandson monkey, holding a golden hoop stick, but he is annoyed by the tight hoop curse, looking at the demons and ghosts, looking at injustice, looking at the fake ugliness, he always wants to raise the stick." He wanted to become a Buddha, but he really didn't know how he became a Buddha, he was a monkey. ”
Xu Fan (Asian Film Awards, Huabiao Awards double film queen).
She arranged a total of 12 dramas in Renyi, 9 of which were Lin Zhaohua's plays, "Ruan Lingyu", "Wotou Guild Hall", "Li Bai", "Hamlet" and so on.
Xu Fan said that the first time he met Lin Zhaohua was the first time he went to the rehearsal hall in college to watch him rehearse "Field field". "I'm afraid of him, always serious." The first time I co-starred in rehearsal was "Ruan Lingyu", and I was very nervous. He said to me, don't be so tight, know your state. But I don't know what state I am. He said, you go and observe the marionettes, sometimes you play the characters, immerse yourself in it, like the puppets are acting, and sometimes you have to be like the person who lifts the thread. ”
He Bing (Media Award for Best Actor).
He entered Beijing Renyi for 21 years and cooperated with Lin Zhaohua in 19 plays. "Birdman", "Dog Grandpa Nirvana", "Li Bai" and so on.
He Bing said that Lin Zhaohua's rehearsal "does not give anything to the actors", but it has benefited him a lot from both technology and art, that is because "the establishment of Lin Director's aesthetic commanding heights, he makes full use of the assumptions of the stage to establish inner reality." Only he told me: He Bing, acting is fake. When you know it's fake, it really comes out. Emotions are real, character relationships are real, and the sincerity of performances is real. ”
How about the Great Guide?
Born in Tianjin in 1936, Lin Zhaohua graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama in 1961 and has been a theater director in Beijing Renyi since 1978. At the age of 79, he has directed more than 80 plays, which is beyond his age, and his real writings are equal.
When the director entered the human arts as an actor when he was young, he was also handsome enough to vomit blood, do you know.
Not only is it prolific, but the drama of the great director in the Chronicles of Chinese Drama is an unavoidable scale.
In the 80s, he had "Absolute Signal" and "Station". In the 90s, he had Three Sisters Waiting for Godot. In the 00s, he had "White Deer Plain" and "Wotou Guild Hall". In the 10s, he had "The Assassin" and "The Great General Kou Liulan". Almost every work brings topics and discussions.
But he never claimed the title of "master".
Because: Master, it is time to fall to the top.
Lin Zhaohua was the vice president of Beijing Renyi, he did not want a car or a house, as long as his "kennel". There was a hardboard bed, an outdated stereo, and a mix of book manuscripts. People give nicknames "amateur deans".
He has done more than 80 plays, and sang the opposite tune with the "realism" and "Jiao Juyin + Stanislavsky School" dominated by Beijing Renyi for decades, and Lin Zhaohua, who stood up to the cattle with Cao Yu in front of him, still has a pure heart of "never playing the old".
Yes, Steiner is the author of the book "The Self-Cultivation of an Actor" that you have all seen in Star Master's "King of Comedy".
Lin Zhaohua said: "The Stanley system has become a stale Stanley, and I am not a slave to the tradition. ”
There was once a documentary filmmaker who followed Lin Zhaohua for a day, and the result was very chagrin: "They all say that life is like a drama, how can his life only be drama?" ”
There was once a drama "Wotou Guild Hall", starring Yang Lixin, Pu Cunxin, Song Dandan and Xu Fan.
Success at the box office, tens of millions.
Lin Zhaohua was not happy. Because he knows very well: people come to the wrist.
"Rehearsals are like fireworks, and when they're done, they're done." Lin Zhaohua said. "That means you don't repeat it."
He never pursued pioneers, "there is no pioneer, I am just constantly trying new possibilities." I only care what I want to perform, I don't think about the rest. ”
Yang Lan interviewed and asked him what was his successful experience? He said: Not afraid of failure, thick-skinned.
Over the years, he has played opera and dance children's dramas, he once put the Goldfish White Horse Rock Band on the stage, he once made the background of the classic "Tea House" crooked, and he was once criticized by so-called theater critics for "form is more than content".
The pursuit of one play and one grid is Lin Zhaohua.
When his "Absolute Signal" was born, it was rated as a "strange bean" by Beijing Renyi, and after 33 years, Lin Zhaohua's sharpness remained the same and did not change.
It is the 2015 new work "Silver Ingot Bridge".
Lin Zhaohua has lined up a "Tea House", and "Silver Ingot Bridge" is a restaurant.
The screenwriter is a journalist who changed careers, Cui Shiyun, and the purpose of writing this play is to remember the closure of a beloved restaurant. "Yu Wu's restaurant is closed, and my friends and I can no longer eat such authentic old Beijing home-cooked food." If this story is not written down, these mortal trivia will be drowned in the long river of time in the blink of an eye. ”
The main actor is also the film emperor + film queen lineup, Ni Dahong + Shi Ke.
Ni Dahong, Nominated for the Golden Phoenix Awards of the Chinese Academy of Film Performing Arts, the Best Supporting Actor Award of the Magnolia Award, and the Best Actor of the Golden Horse Award.
He is "half of the history of Chinese cinema", and has cooperated with directors Xie Jin, Zhang Yimou, Gao Qunshu, Chen Guofu, Zhang Yibai and Zhang Zhiliang, and has acted in large and small film and television dramas.
He played Yu Wu in "Silver Ingot Bridge".
Sko, Romanian Film Festival film queen. The sexy goddess of the generation of "Rock Youth" is now the power queen of the drama stage, and has starred in Lai Shengchuan's work "Like a Dream".
She played the role of the fifth sister-in-law in "Silver Ingot Bridge".
The story of "Silver Ingot Bridge" takes place in a restaurant, but it is not a warm story such as a "late-night canteen", but it seems a bit suspenseful:
Next to the Silver Ingot Bridge in Beijing, Yu Wu, an ordinary and hard-working small person who opens a restaurant, is involved in an absurd deception in order to keep his ancestral business...
This knife has not yet seen, this time the big director will play what tricks, full of expectations. The director himself said: "This time, I don't want to rehearse a play that is too similar to the play"... The media said: "The great director went back to the 'life stream'" this time."
I think one of the best reactions to the director's play is: go and see.
As a theater journalist, I have seen many plays.
But I remember a few years ago, I saw the big director's play called "Toilet", when Tao Hong and other actors faced the audience, lined up, crouched down to go to the toilet, to this day, vividly remembered.
