Can you imagine? There is a stage play performed in "Shanghainese", the vast majority of which are also Shanghainese actors, and from March 10 to 14, 2021, the first season of the award-winning stage play "Blossoms" will be staged again at the Majestic Theatre. For a new round of performances, the main actors also began to devote themselves to intense rehearsals, and Ziya also took this opportunity to learn about the style of "old Shanghai".

The stage play "Blossoms" is based on the award-winning work of the "Mao Dun Literature Award", the famous writer Jin Yucheng's novel of the same name, known as the "encyclopedia" of Shanghai from the 1960s to the 1990s, and some people have commented on it as a kaleidoscope of shanghai's micro-life.

As a stage play based on Shanghainese, even the native Shanghai actors have still been challenged, how do the actors interpret the Shanghainese dialect that meets the background of the times on the stage?

Teacher Zhang Zhihua, a well-known actor, the mother of Xiao Mao, who plays one of the male protagonists in the play, as the oldest and most experienced veteran actor in this stage play, she feels that this challenge is very big. "Acting in a local language, I have never experienced it, I have never experienced it in 40 years, we are all Shanghai actors, but you have to know that Shanghainese, in the 70s, the districts are different, for example, like me Xiao Mao, after using a lot of ways to interpret, I think the most suitable for Xiao Mao, with a little Pudong accent, all of a sudden to enhance the background of Xiao Mao." 」
