It took 63 years to sing "Honghu Water, Waves, Waves" to the world's national opera "Honghu Red Guards", this time, finally to sing on the real "water surface".
On July 20, Hubei Opera and Dance Theater joined hands with Hanxiu Theater to launch a new high-tech version of the "Honghu Red Guard" press conference in Han, and jimu news reporter learned that the version of "Honghu Red Guard" that will be premiered on August 21 will use Hanxiu's famous "water stage" to achieve the immersive reality of "Qianli Honghu Lake" for the first time in the performance.
"The first time I got on a wooden boat on the lake, I was very excited." On the same day, when interviewed, the fourth generation of "Han Ying" Ma Yaqin shared her feelings with reporters, "We sang the story of the Honghu Red Guards to the Sydney Opera House, and also sang to the National Centre for the Performing Arts, but the scene that really realized the 'Honghu Water' was at the doorstep of our Hubei Province!" ”
Hanxiu Theater uses water stage to build "Honghu Lake"
The water depth is 10 meters, and the visual water surface effect is 1000 square meters
As the most important sample of national opera in the 20th century, "Honghu Red Guards" was first performed in 1958 for more than 60 years without fading, and when "Honghu Red Guards" "encountered" Hanxiu Theater, its biggest change and highlight is naturally the classic new charm that is rejuvenated by the unique stage technology of this theater.
At the press conference, Tan Jun, president of hubei opera and dance theater, stressed that the scientific and technological version of "Honghu Red Guards" is not a simple copy and copy, but an innovation that inherits tradition, "We are completely retaining the unique aesthetic and temperament of "Honghu Red Guards", on the principle of not destroying its drama and musicality, relying on Hanxiu's high-tech stage technology to do the upgrade." ”
Innovation, first of all, lies in the presentation of real scenes. As a story written around the sons and daughters of the Honghu Revolution, several important chapters such as Han Ying's singing of "Honghu Lake Water Waves" in the bridge section of "Honghu Red Guards" occur on the "water surface". In the past, "Honghu Lake" could only be expressed by the traditional stage freehand techniques - the flipped curtain and the "waves" made of props constituted a picture of "water". Now, the scientific and technological version of "Honghu Red Guards" will use the water system on the ground of the Hanxiu Theater to form a "Honghu Lake" with a maximum depth of 10 meters and a water surface area of 300 square meters.
Gao Liang, deputy general manager of the technical department of Hanxiu Theater in the interview, mentioned that the theater will also use high-tech projection to extend the visual effect to 1,000 square meters of water surface scenes.
The boat swayed above the blue waves, and Han Ying and his companions punted through the lotus flowers in the lake... Surrounded by the audience seats at Han Show Theatre, this aesthetic scene is eventually upgraded to an immersive theater viewing experience.
Wia restores "Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven"
The 8 divers guaranteed that Han Ying rowed and sang again
Restoring the real scene of Honghu Lake is only one of the highlights of the sense of science and technology. Qin Desong, the actor of Liu Chuang in "Honghu Red Guard", mentioned that they will also use Han Xiu's original Weiya technology to achieve the thrilling scene of actors landing from the air to "hijack guns".
"This battle was fought so beautifully, like a tiger descending the hill." The night touched the Peng family dun, just like the divine soldier descending from the sky..." Qin Desong sang this lyric on the spot. He mentioned that the "robbery of the gun" paragraph was originally the climactic paragraph in "Honghu Red Guards", which depicted the scene of the Red Guards climbing into the courtyard wall to rob the gun, "so I want to say that the scientific and technological version of "Honghu Red Guards" is not to add stunts for the sake of having stunts, whether it is the use of water or the use of Wia, it is in line with our plot development." ”
The Jimu News reporter also learned that because the Hanxiu Theater is larger than the ordinary theater, in order to achieve the most ideal audio-visual effect, the Hubei Opera and Dance Theater will dispatch the symphony orchestra and the Chinese orchestra to form a system of about 150 people, "to create a shocking aural effect." ”
Innovation is naturally difficult. In the interview, Zhou Yan, director of the science and technology version of "Honghu Red Guard", said that in the water section, in order to ensure the boat route, Hanxiu Theater arranged 8 divers to hide in the water to promote the wooden boat, and because the opera is mainly sung, "Han Ying" must maintain a stable breath when opening, and the third actor needs to go to the shore to sing, "Divers need to strictly follow the number of subsections of an interlude to operate, and there will be a lot of communication and coordination in between." ”
It is reported that the technology version of "Honghu Red Guards" will be performed 7 times in the Hanxiu Theater from August 21 to 25, and at present, 4 of them have been sold out.
