"The jade flute is played in the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fall in May in Jiangcheng. "Hubei can be said to be Li Bai's second hometown. At the age of 27, Li Bai married the granddaughter of Hubei's outgoing prime minister, Xu Yushi, and was a veritable son-in-law of Hubei, who came to Wuhan six times in his life and wrote 54 poems. Zheng Yunlong, who presented the "poet immortal" Li Bai on the stage of a musical for the first time, could not hide his excitement when the first round of tour ceremony was launched, "It is particularly exciting for actors to be able to create such a colorful character as Li Bai. ”
Before he became well-known to the public through "Sound into the Heart", Zheng Yunlong was already a well-known musical actor in China, and many musicals and stage plays such as "Turning into a Strange Doctor", "I, Don Quixote", "Novel" and "Frankenstein" starring him are impressive. However, it is the first time for Zheng Yunlong to portray Li Bai, and he bluntly said that this is a huge challenge to himself and a huge attraction.

Martial arts is another design highlight of "Will Enter the Wine". Poetry, wine, and swords, all three together constitute the spiritual core of Li Bai, in order to show the audience Li Bai as a "swordsman", the repertoire has added a lot of martial arts performance scenes, and every action and weapon has been carefully designed. Although acting and singing are easy for Zheng Yunlong, the martial arts that need to be presented in "Will Enter the Wine" also make him realize the difficulties that need to be overcome. Zheng Yunlong mentioned that martial arts is the "biggest difficulty" encountered by himself when rehearsing with "long arms and long legs": "This is the least dominant body type in martial arts, the longer the arms, the greater the amplitude of martial arts, and it is particularly prone to injury, and the only thing that can be done is to practice Xi repeatedly." ”
The musical "Will Enter the Wine" is jointly produced by the Propaganda Department of the Mianyang Municipal Party Committee, China Oriental Performing Arts Group Co., Ltd., Mianyang Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, Jiangyou Municipal People's Government, and CCTV.
