"Forgetting is the only thing that ordinary people can do, but I decided not to forget her."
A few days ago, director Meng Jinghui launched the official restoration version of the 2003 version of his classic drama "Rhinoceros in Love" on the b station, and the result was that the hot search was occupied by several clips of Duan Yihong and Hao Lei.
One of the passages is hao lei half kneeling on the ground, writing with lipstick on Duan Yihong's chest muscles...
Both carry a primitive tension that is dizzying. This excitement is more enjoyable than their new drama "Octagonal Pavilion Mist".
Rhinoceros in Love is a 1999 script by Liao Yimei, directed by Meng Jinghui. As a representative work of avant-garde drama, it has been 22 years since it was put on the stage of drama, and it is still enduring.
It is said that at the beginning, the two of them discussed how many performances they could perform, and if no one watched, Liao Yimei would write a script to pay back. Unexpectedly, after two weeks of staging, the theater was full, and the small theater that could only hold 350 people would sometimes squeeze in more than 400 people.
Whoever conceived of this would rewrite the history of Small Theater in China.
Many of the classic lines and love words of "Rhinoceros" have been copied into notebooks by young people until now. As the poster says in those big letters: The Bible of Eternal Love.
Overall, "Rhinoceros in Love" should be about a pair of "crazy" hysterical, deranged love.
A young rhino breeder, Lu Lu, falls in love with his neighbor Mingming, but Mingming only loves Chen Fei, an ex-boyfriend who does not appear in the play. After some entanglement between the two, Ma Lu understands that there is no hope between the two, so he kidnaps Mingming and kills his own beloved rhinoceros.
"Rhinoceros in Love" has a pioneering nature in its performance methods, such as rhinoceros that has never appeared, a treadmill that shows the passion of two people, a huge red cloth, projections and other stage installations...
And the unconventional means of expression, the amazing lines like poetry... These may be the reasons for the success of Rhinoceros in Love.
Wu Yue, Guo Tao

Since its premiere, it has had many versions, and has set a record for the performance of small theater dramas in China, but aside from the dramatic techniques or the story itself, the most evocative thing is the role of the heroine Mingming.
I like Mingming very much, she loves unscrupulously, but also warmly and lowly.
Obvious love, is like this:
"Maybe one day the moon is close to the earth, the sun is directly hitting the Tropic of Cancer, the monsoon sends the moisture of the ocean to make your skin smooth, the low pressure formed in Mongolia makes your heart beat faster, maybe it's just your inner desire, the commotion brought about by the menstrual cycle, he just changed the light bulb in his room, he just finished eating the fragrance left on his fingers by oranges, his freshly shaved beard stung your face, all of this under the action of the nerve endings tingling feeling, is what is called love." 」
The first Ming Dynasty: Wu Yue
Wu Yue is the first Mingming, and the Mingming she plays has a sense of agility and playfulness.
Many people know her from "The First Half of My Life", in which Wu Yue played a "textbook-level third party". Because of Ling Ling's success, she has suffered a lot of unwarranted insults, but this just proves her acting skills.
Wu Yue's reply on Weibo
I have always felt that Wu Yue's appearance can be said to be a typical representative of "poetry and bookish self-glory in the belly", and her beauty is introverted in temperament, which is flexible and profound.
She was born in Shuxiangmendi, her father was the calligrapher and painter Wu Yiren, and she studied under Qian Juntao, the eldest disciple of Feng Zikai. Under such influence, she developed a calm, indifferent beauty.
At the age of 19, she was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy with the first professional score, and worked in the Shanghai Drama Center after graduation. With excellent professionalism, in 1999, the 27-year-old Wu Yue met "Rhinoceros".
I have to say that Meng Jinghui is a director who is extremely good at picking the right actors. As the first version of Mingming, Wu Yue successfully made this rhinoceros break out of a red.
Wu Yue's version of Ming ming has short hair, bright eyes with a little stubbornness, perhaps it is this bit of stubbornness that makes people feel that this version of Ming is very stubborn.
Such Wu Yue, such a clear ming, hysterical about love and cruel indifference to the heart of the unloving, there is a beautiful sense of brokenness at the same time.
A white dress looks simple and beautiful in the spotlight, until now, Wu Yue's ming is still the white moonlight in the hearts of many drama fans.
The success of this first edition of Rhino also laid the foundation for the continuous running of rhinos.
The warmest Mingming: Hao Lei
In 2003, Hao Lei took over the role of Mingming, and this time the restored version of the official film released by director Meng Jinghui was her version.
Mention Hao Lei, you must be able to think of a series of literary and artistic films, she is particularly charming, just need to look at her, you can feel the aura of her.
Hao Lei is the "most obvious" person in many people's hearts, and I have to say that her personal characteristics do have many similarities with the role of Mingming, wild enough, energetic enough, and lustful.
She was still in school when she was in theater, and she went to see "Rhinoceros in Love". Backstage at the theater, screenwriter Liao Yimei met her for the first time.
Many years later, Liao Yimei said to her: "At that time, you had a special willful energy in you. That momentum is especially like Rhinoceros, which is unable to control the energy, desire, hormones in the body, and all attempts at the world have to spew out of the body. ”
If Wu Yue's ming is white moonlight, then Hao Lei's ming is a broken wild rose. Her appearance is bright, a pair of eyes of water spirit with affection, bright and at the same time with a deep sense of story, giving people a strong sexual attraction.
In the 2003 version of "Rhinoceros", what impressed me the most was Hao Lei's live performance of "Song of Mingming": "Oxygen".
After the restoration version was launched, the well-known music critic Erdi also forwarded his evaluation of Hao Lei's singing voice again.
Her tone is full of emotional perception and expressive ability, and the entangled love is sung clearly in this clear song. When singing this song, she is not necessarily the drama actress Hao Lei, but she must be Mingming.
The most "cold" Mingming: Qi Xi
The earliest thing I knew about Qi Xi was in the movie "Going to the Sea". The film was screened at the 2017 Busan Film Festival and was directed by Belgium's Olivier Metz.
The main actors are all old faces of literary and art films: Geng Le, Qi Xi, Zeng Meihuizi. Qi Xi plays the heroine Zhang Lina, who came to Paris alone to work, but was forced to go to the sea to make money because of life.
So in my heart, Qi Xi's tag is literature and coldness.
Qi Xi plays Sanqi in "The Mystery of the Floating City"
Tall people are mostly hunched over, but because she has been practicing ballet since she was a child, her posture is very tall. Standing there, it's like there's a thread hanging, and the spirit is very strong.
She is not a "beautiful woman" in the traditional sense, her facial features are mostly sharp corners, thin lips, less fleshy nose bridge, and the trend is clean and neat straight.
The slightly prominent cheekbones and slightly concave cheeks give her an innately clear temperament, but also a kind of stubbornness that fights against the world and is untamed.
And such a Qi Xi can best portray the neuroticism and attachment of Ming Ming to love, showing the strength of self and paranoia.
At the same time, the Mingming she plays has a different sense of detachment from ordinary people, and perhaps it is her physical characteristics that make this version of Mingming unique.
In fact, Qi Xi still couldn't figure out how he got the opportunity to act mingming. At that time, Meng Jinghui's studio was recruiting, and her classmates introduced Qi Xi to try it, and as a result, she was confused and was selected into Meng Jinghui's studio.
In the first two months of entering the studio, she didn't know what she was going to play, and she spent the whole day laughing and playing with everyone. Later, after the rehearsal of the play one day, Meng Jinghui suddenly came to Qi Xi and said, "Qi Xi, you play Mingming." ”
At this time, she didn't even know who she was, and the most familiar thing she was with about "Rhinoceros in Love" was the "Diamond Diamond Brand Diamond Toothbrush". So at first, she didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't bother to memorize the words, so she played a "girl who is particularly willful and takes herself seriously."
In 2008, "Rhinoceros in Love" became the opening work of the Beijing Honeycomb Theater, and since then, there has been the first custom theater performance in the history of Chinese theater performance.
After reading it, Wu Yue said to Qi Xi, "Qi Xi, you are the best actor. ”
In 2009, director Meng Jinghui said: "'Rhinoceros in Love' has a strong vitality, in the past 10 years, the four versions of the actors have performed 220 times, each version of the actors is the heat of youth, they bring the audience energy, that is a brave, sincere, fearless energy, can overcome everything." ”
Time flies by quickly, and another decade has passed, from 1999 to 2021, rhinos are always on the run, and there are different young people who become young rhinos.
