Director Li Meng quarreled with well-known singer Li Yugang?
Li Meng and Li Yugang can be said to be old friends, and the two have been cooperating for more than 20 years since 1999. They have worked together to create two popular stage plays, "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" and "Night Banquet", which present the essence of traditional Chinese culture through the form of art, and have won the applause of countless audiences.
"Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty" tells the story of a modern person who travels back to the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty in time and space, bringing the audience into a colorful world of the Tang Dynasty. As the chief director, Li Meng uses the technique of multimedia immersive experience.
The perfect integration of stage, lighting, costumes and other elements brings an audio-visual feast to the audience. And Li Yugang used his penetrating voice to interpret Tang poems and Tang lyrics vividly, making the audience feel as if they were in that prosperous world.
Immediately afterwards, the two worked together to create "Night Banquet", a large-scale stage play that drew on the cultural heritage of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the play, Li Yugang not only played a number of roles, but also personally composed and wrote lyrics for the songs in the play, using music to interpret the humanistic feelings of that era. At the same time, Li Meng's directing skills have once again been demonstrated, and he has skillfully used multimedia technology to turn the stage into a dream space, completely pulling the audience into the plot.
Just when the friendship between the two was getting better, a bad news came suddenly - Li Meng unfortunately passed away at the age of 59. The news undoubtedly hit Li Yugang hard, and he said on social media that he was "sad, but also very grateful." As Li Meng's last posthumous work, "Night Banquet" made Li Yugang "endlessly aftertaste".
Faced with the death of his friend, Li Yugang showed a strong side. He is determined to continue on the road of art, pay tribute to Li Meng with music and stage plays, and also convey positive energy to the audience. Netizens also praised Li Yugang and praised his tenacity and professionalism for being admirable.
Li Yugang is one of them, a dancer, actor, and director all-round artist, who has conquered the hearts of countless audiences with his unique charm. From setting Guinness records to starring in stage plays, from releasing solo music albums to serving as the chief director, his career is full of excitement and deserves to be savored.
Who would have thought that an ordinary stage performance would become an unprecedented Guinness World Record? On that night in 2008, a flowing figure in the center of the stage enchanted the audience. He is the famous singer Li Yugang, who performed a shocking long silk dance performance with a 24-meter-long silk satin.
That night, Li Yugang wore a gorgeous robe and slowly walked onto the stage. Accompanied by the moving music, he waved the 24-meter-long silk silk with unprecedented grace. The silk is like the water pattern on the surface of the lake, turning into thousands of wonderful arcs in the air, like a flying streamer soaring freely at his fingertips.
Li Yugang sometimes lowered his body, sometimes held a long silk high, and every movement was just right. His graceful movements and postures are reminiscent of a light butterfly dancing among flowers. The whole stage was rendered dreamlike by his beautiful dancing bit by bit, which was fascinating.
The most wonderful scene is that Li Yugang threw out all the 24-meter-long silk with one hand, and the moment of circling and dancing was like an elegant waterfall pouring down, magnificent. The audience was all impressed by this thrilling picture, with thunderous applause, cheers, and cheers.
When the last action was frozen, Li Yugang's hands were slightly raised, the long silk fluttered and circled behind him, and the entire stage was ignited by him, and the atmosphere reached the climax. The applause lasted for a long time, and the audience was deeply moved by his superb dancing skills and love for traditional Chinese culture.
Two years later, Li Yugang's latest solo music album "New Concubine Drunk" is undoubtedly a dark horse in the music scene in 2023. The album contains 10 original songs in a variety of styles, with elegant melodies and beautiful melodies, skillfully blending classical aesthetics with modern musical elements.
The title song of the album, "Drunk", depicts a noble concubine tasting wine in the backyard of the palace, and the lyrics are realistic and delicate, portraying the character's state of mind very well. With Li Yugang's magnetic voice, it makes people feel as if they are in that fantastic court era.
Another song, "Falling Flowers", depicts the sorrow of a wanderer who misses his homeland in a foreign land. The beautiful tune is like a warm spring breeze, soothing the sorrow of homesickness. Li Yugang perfectly interprets the connotation of the lyrics with his unique timbre, so that the audience seems to be able to touch the lingering nostalgia.
It is worth mentioning that the album also contains a lyrical song "There Is Still in the River" adapted from ancient poems. Li Yugang performed this song of praise for friendship with sincerity and touching. The lyrics of the entire album are written by well-known lyricists, which are full of poetry, and integrate people's various experiences of life into it.
Li Yugang is undoubtedly the best among the popular actors, and his acting skills are obvious to all. However, Li Yugang is best known for his stage performances.
In 2012, he starred in the stage play "New Mirror Flowers and Moon", which can be said to have swept the country, and performed more than 20 consecutive performances in major cities across the country, and the venues were full. The play is based on the movie of the same name and tells a bizarre story about all kinds of infatuation. In the play, Li Yugang plays the male protagonist Sun Wukong, and he interprets this familiar role vividly.
On the stage, he sometimes looks bad, sometimes he looks honest, and vividly shows the multi-faceted personality of Sun Wukong. Especially in the part of action scenes, he showed his superb martial arts skills, and every action was just right and smooth. Sun Wukong's stunt of soaring through the clouds and fog, under his interpretation, can be said to be true, which made the audience all applauded.
What's even more amazing is that Li Yugang still needs to frequently change different appearances in the play, from the hideous Bull Demon King to the gentle white bone spirit, he has achieved three points of flowing water and wood. The audience was impressed by his superb acting skills and couldn't help but applaud. The play was a sensation, and Li Yugang contributed a lot.
In 2015, Li Yugang took off again! This time, he not only served as the chief director, but also starred in the stage play "Zhaojun Out of the Plug". The play is presented to the audience in a new form of combining Chinese and Western styles, and the unique audio-visual experience is breathtaking.
As a true artist, Li Yugang has a persistent love for the stage and performance. He not only has outstanding performances in dance, music, performance and other fields, but is also an innovative and striving for excellence. He dares to break with tradition and perfectly integrate traditional Chinese cultural elements with modern art techniques to bring a new audio-visual experience to the audience.
I believe that with artists like Li Yugang, traditional Chinese culture will be inherited and carried forward in modern society and radiate new vitality. He has interpreted the mission and responsibility of the artist with his practical actions, which is worthy of our learning and tribute. Looking forward to seeing more wonderful performances by Li Yugang in the future!
