"Although my father was born in Tianjin, my grandfather's generation was from Qianjiang, Hubei Province, so this time it was our 'homecoming' performance." On the afternoon of October 14, Cao Yu's daughter and playwright Wan Fang said affectionately at the scene of the sharing dialogue activities of "Thunderstorm" and "Thunderstorm After" at the Qintai Grand Theater.
This is the second national tour of "Liantai Opera" "Thunderstorm" and "Thunderstorm After" after the first round of tour in 2020, on October 16 and 17, the first stop of the second round of "Liantai Opera" tour will land at the Qintai Grand Theater to open the fifth "Qintai Art Festival", because it gathers the faces of many stars such as He Saifei, Tong Ruimin, Liu Kaiwei, Kong Wei, etc. "Thunderstorm" and "Thunderstorm After" in Wuhan has never been more concerned. For the first stop of the second tour, the drama side also attaches great importance to it, it is reported that these two works have been in the Qintai Grand Theater for several days, the day before, Liu Kaiwei also spent his 47th birthday in Wuhan.
Played the national level of Zhou Ping
Liu Kaiwei went from nervous to relaxed
This is Liu Kaiwei's first time on the stage of drama, and his "first time" is to play the heavy role of Zhou Ping in such a legendary classic as "Thunderstorm".
Since its public premiere in 1934, for more than 80 years, "Thunderstorm" has been adapted into multiple versions and art forms for readers to interpret, and Zhang Yimou's "Full of Golden Armor" filmed 15 years ago is actually adapted from "Thunderstorm".
After the founding of New China, the excerpts of "Thunderstorm" were selected into high school textbooks, so the Chinese people are familiar with "Thunderstorm" and also familiar with Zhou Ping.
This kind of national-level cognition has brought a lot of pressure to Liu Kaiwei, who starred in a drama for the first time. In the dialogue, he admitted that when he first started rehearsing last year, he started with a "very nervous" state, "I have always had more experience in film and television, and I rarely face so many people and perform in such a large space." This makes Liu Kaiwei have to overturn all the performance experience he once had, "everything is fresh, and the feeling of acting needs to be re-learned, especially the grasp of space and power, including my own lines." ”
After the first round of the tour, the pressure was much less, he said that the initial nervousness and fear turned into the current expectation, "In the months after the first round of performances, I have been thinking about when I can return to the stage with my predecessors and colleagues again and communicate with the audience face to face, so I am especially looking forward to the premiere in Wuhan." ”
Tong Ruimin, a performing artist who plays Zhou Puyuan and former head of the acting department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, mentioned that Liu Kaiwei has indeed become more relaxed than last year, "He is a particularly energetic and charismatic actor, in the play we play father and son, there are a few major plays that the audience may not be able to see clearly, but I can really reach a spiritual communication with him from the eyes." ”
Play the most coveted role of a Chinese actress
Kong Wei was also distressed about Fanyi in addition to his heartache
In addition to Zhou Ping and Zhou Puyuan, Fan Yi and Lu Shuping are also the most important characters in "Thunderstorm". In the "Thunderstorm" and "Thunderstorm After" performed in Han this time, Fan Yi was played by Kong Wei, and Lu Shuping was played by He Saifei.
In the dialogue, Kong Wei mentioned that the role of Fanyi can be said to be the dream role of all Chinese actresses, she said, before starring in "Thunderstorm", she had written a character biography for Fanyi, "I think she came to this family with a little pride, impulsiveness and rebellion, when Zhou Puyuan controlled her, she met Zhou Ping, she thought she should love someone like Zhou Ping, but in the end she was abandoned..."
In Kong Wei's view, what Prosperity wants from beginning to end is just a "love" word, "but this love gathers the struggles and entanglements of all women, her lifelong pursuit is only love and freedom, but she is trapped in a cage all her life, and I am particularly distressed by her." ”
It is reported that Wanfang's continuation of "After the Thunderstorm" occurred more than ten years after the story of "Thunderstorm", and the three old people who survived that year recalled more details of the story related to "Thunderstorm", and the "ripples" that were crazy at the end of "Thunderstorm" would appear in these memories.
Kong Wei said that "After the Thunderstorm" gives the audience another space, where the people in the play can redeem and understand each other. But for The Prosperity, if "Thunderstorm" makes Kong Wei feel sad for her, then "Thunderstorm After" makes Kong Wei "more sad" for her.
However, all emotions still boil down to the play. On the afternoon and evening of the 16th and 17th, "Thunderstorm" and "After Thunderstorm" will be continuously staged at the Qintai Grand Theater, and Jimu News reporters will also immediately track the shock brought by this drama to the audience in Wuhan.
