"Some people say that cross-talk dramas are very masculine arts. Crosstalk is mainly male, and Teacher Lai likes to subvert herself. We have expectations in our hearts that there will be good actresses who will prove that this is feasible. Ding Naizhu said, "This time to do the Qili version, the actor has also grown a lot." ”
On December 23, Lai Shengchuan, artistic director of Shanghai Theater, and Ding Naizhu, CEO of Shanghai Theater, attended the media meeting with si wen, Feng Li, Dou Jin and Liu Han, actors of "That Night, Saying Crosstalk on the Journey" (Qi Li version). On the 22nd of next month, the play premiered at the Upper Theater and began a new journey.
Ten years ago, screenwriter and director Lai Shengchuan made the seventh in his "cross-talk drama" series, "That Night, Say Crosstalk on the Journey". After ten years, he remade the "beautiful version" starring the girls, leading the audience to follow the girls to travel the world.
Not long ago, the Deyun Society only recruited male trainees and did not accept female trainees, causing controversy in the outside world. Guo Degang responded in the live broadcast that he did not accept female apprentices, not because of discrimination, but because of great respect for women, he said, "Learning crosstalk is too hard, women can do better things, don't delay time in crosstalk." ”
Interestingly, Lai Shengchuan cross-talk dramas have always had a reserved repertoire of girls talking about cross-talk, "This Night, Women Say Cross-Talk" talks about women's independence and explores women's topics in the new era. The actresses who ended the exclusive edition of the theater "Treasure Island And a Village" in December successfully aroused the inspiration for Lai Shengchuan to rehearse the cross-talk of girls, not to do "this night", but to turn the 2011 "That Night, Say Crosstalk on the Journey" starring Feng Yigang, Song Shaoqing and Lai Fanyun into a girl version, and the "Lü Ren" and "Cheng Ke" who said cross-talk became "Lü Zong" and "Xiao You". The actors set Si Wen and Liu Han, Feng Li and Dou Jin two groups of cards, and the female waiter in the comedy role became a male waiter, performed by Chen Guohui, an actor of the Shanghai Opera Troupe.
"Cross-talk drama is very difficult for the creator, not only cross-talk, but also a complete dramatic structure. Actors must have both cross-talk skills and acting skills, and their language skills and voice must be good. Ding Naizhu recalled that in 2011, "That Night, Say Crosstalk on the Journey" starring Feng Yigang was known as a steel voice, did not reverse the voice, did not expect that on the morning of the premiere, he suddenly lost his voice, the crew urgently found a doctor to do special treatment, and finally took the stage, "because Feng Yigang can not rest, more than ten days of performance by the doctor's special treatment to maintain, in fact, a little injury, until the end of the performance to recover, so we must protect the throat." ”
After reading the script, the lead actor Feng Li found that the cross-talk and stage play were completely different from what she thought, "There are a lot of skills and kung fu." The teacher also told me: it is particularly difficult, and it is necessary to mobilize the rhythm of crosstalk. The teacher will also assign homework, let us listen to crosstalk, find a different self. There are new areas to explore in cross-talk dramas, and I feel very stimulating and fresh. Girls and boys talk to each other, and the aura will be different. Girls represent different forms and talk, which is when girls exude charm. ”
"'Cross-talk drama' is not a very good form of control, it is difficult from the script and performance level, and every time you do cross-talk, it is a breakthrough." Lai Shengchuan said that "That Night, Talking about Crosstalk on the Journey" does not have children's love and no family and country events, but starts from the story of the two people's travel and rethinks the meaning of travel.
Travel is your world getting bigger or smaller? This is the question that Lai Shengchuan threw to the audience. What he saw and heard was written in "Journey Crosstalk". Following Lai Shengchuan's text, the audience walks to a remote island, swims to the overcrowded Louvre with the Mona Lisa, to the poor Indian mountain village, to the scenic spot lined up. Whether it's a six-star luxury tour or a backpacker's exploration journey, you'll see a different scenery. As the play says: "Isn't life such a journey?" We were in a small car, in the dark of night, on an unknown path, driving to an unknown destination. ”
Lead actor Si Wen likes to use his own footsteps to recognize and feel the humanities and scenery of each place, "Last year in Japan, playing was a comfortable tour, staying in a high-end hotel. I also do backpackers and buy a lot of special water glasses and souvenirs in Nepal. I would put my experience into the role. "In Jeju Island, I met a very interesting person, a driver who was originally a bank executive in Seoul, and came to Jeju Island with his wife to drive a small car and pick up 7-8 tourists every day. I also went to a beach and couldn't find a car, a nice little sister helped me find a nearby bus stop, she insisted on waiting until the bus came, confirmed with the driver to remind me to get off before leaving. In ordinary life, I don't let down my guard, but when I travel alone, I find a lot of warmth and strange kindness around me. In the view of the lead actor Dou Jin, the cross-talk drama combines the best point of cross-talk and drama, "The stage with lines as a weapon gives me confidence." After the biggest significance of "That Night, Say Crosstalk on the Journey", I may pack my bags and travel. ”
