Last night, the documentary film "Peking Opera Search for Orphans and Rescue Orphans" starring Peking Opera actor Wang Peiyu was screened in advance at the Shanghai Yihai Theatre. The film truly recreates the stage performance scene, including the applause and applause of the audience, and even the "small flaws" that were kicked and quickly adjusted during the performance. The main creative staff also took precious pictures of the rehearsal and introduced the excellent traditional art to the audience through the form of pre-screening interviews.
The documentary film Peking Opera Search for Orphans and Orphans is an attempt by the opera industry, and it is the first high-definition stage image recorded in China in the film's production specifications. The film will be officially released in major theaters across the country on October 28.
On September 8, 1947, the legend of Liyuan Meng Xiaodong's "Search for Orphans and Rescue Orphans" was staged in the China Grand Theatre, becoming a Song of Guangling on the farewell stage of the "Winter Emperor".

The performance shown in the film, Wang Peiyu in the pronunciation, pronunciation, use of qi, line cavity and other aspects of careful scheduling, rigorous and neat, seamless integration; she played the role of Cheng Baby is handsome and elegant, in the chivalrous liver and righteousness with some calm, heart like a long moon.

Last night, it was the first time Wang Peiyu watched this documentary film, and finally realized her wish to "sit offstage and watch her own drama once". In the face of the old opera fans and old audiences who have followed for many years, she sighed: "Looking back at that performance through the big screen, this is the result of our continuous review of performances, constantly grinding plays, and accumulating many years of stage experience." ”

"At present, Peking Opera actors are not only a inheritor, but also learn to be a good communicator." Wang Peiyu admits that with the help of high-definition images, the charm of Peking Opera can be spread to thousands of audiences who walk into the theater.
Of course, the filming does not mean that Wang Peiyu will no longer perform "Search for Orphans and Save Orphans" on the stage, and in the post-performance talks of last night's advanced screening, she promised fans that next year, it will be a year when she fully returns to the Shanghai stage: "I should continue to perform on the Yifu Stage, and everyone is welcome to come to the stage."

Reporter's Note| Confidence is more important than box office
In recent years, there have been many opera films, but not many people can really enter the theater line and have scheduled regular screenings. Many opera films that cost a lot of money are often shelved once or twice, and some films are not even played as many times as the stage performances.
It is said that the movie has inserted wings in the opera, but if you can't find a flying sky, it is helpless to have wings. The documentary film "Peking Opera Search for Orphans and Rescue Orphans", which was filmed more than two years ago, has already started the follow-up publicity of the film. It is reported that the screening schedule of more than 400 theaters across the country has been scheduled. Yesterday, Wang Peiyu said happily: "In jiuting, there are audiences who buy tickets to watch the movie, which gives us great encouragement. ”
However, how many theaters are scheduled, whether box office sales are good or not, and whether they can be on the hot search, although these are important in Wang Peiyu's view, they are not so important. As one of the members of the producer, she pays more attention to doing this to give confidence to contemporary audiences who love Peking Opera: "Peking Opera is the best art, it belongs to the Chinese, we should record such a good, unique and unique performance with high-definition images, so that more people can pay attention to the contemporary ecology of opera."
