From October 30th to November 1st, the first anti-drug musical in China, "Rebirth", opened a three-day performance at SAIC Shanghai Culture Square, attracting audiences from all over the country to watch, and the theater door was bustling with love and faith.
Nine games in the two cities are in full swing
The actors constantly break through themselves
At the end of October, SAIC Shanghai Cultural Square, five "Rebirth" came as scheduled. As an ice-breaking work in the industry after the epidemic, the musical "Rebirth" finally came to Shanghai, the city with the largest volume of domestic musical theater performance market, which not only empowers the recovery of the performance market, but also allows young people in the bustling city to feel the hardships of the border anti-drug police at close range.
Producer and artistic director Li Dun said at the beginning of the rehearsal: "This era needs heroes, and this era needs such stories. The audiences who rushed to the theater from all over the country also proved that we really need such stories, and the beauty of human nature is like a flag, like a torch, which is always desirable.
The song is the soul of the musical, the two actors who play the male protagonist, Liu Yan and Ma Jia, interpret two different styles of Luo Jinyong respectively, one is pacing steadily in the mountains of Yunnan, and the flesh and gas of the anti-drug police are just running through the fierce process of fighting wits and courage with drug dealers; a smart youth, showing the true and cute side of the anti-drug police, while blowing the horn of battle with a thick high voice.
Xu Yao, an outstanding actor from the China Opera and Dance Theatre, and Cai Xinru, an outstanding domestic musical theater actor, transformed Luo Yingzhen's tenderness when she was in love with her strength to be alone very natural, and when the heroine sang "Please, Wake Up" to Jin Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, many viewers could not cry.
Sincere and moving hero praise
A magnificent poem in which the virtual and the real are intertwined
As the country's first anti-drug musical, "Rebirth" has its own unique educational significance and social significance. The musical "Rebirth" borrows such real heroes as Luo Jinyong and Luo Yingzhen, and through such a story full of love and lofty faith, to present a sincere hymn to the "ordinary" heroes who silently dedicate themselves day after day.
In the form of musicals, "Rebirth" presents a completely different anti-drug police story from film and television dramas and literary works, conveying love with songs, expressing meaning with dances, and touching people's hearts with a plot born out of reality. In order to balance the realistic theme and stage art, the main creative team carefully conceived the narrative structure of virtual and real parallel lines, which greatly enriched the sense of layering and space of the whole work.
There are many highlights in the main line of the story, the sincere friendship between the birth and death of the "three anti-drug police brothers", and the sweet and not greasy love story of the protagonist Luo Jinyong and Luo Yingzhen, which adds many laughs to the work and also dissolves the traditional meticulous hero image. The hero is every ordinary person who creates miracles because of love and faith.
The new story of the musical "Rebirth" is not only a true and moving main story, but also pioneering dance as a narrative tool, with flesh and blood in exchange for the "good body" of the land of peace, "god of love" that supports the family with love and faith, and "beast" symbolizing destruction, the three characters with aesthetic or warm body language, Luo Jinyong's "rebirth" journey in the dark is also revealed, and Luo Yingzhen's complex emotions such as hesitation, pain, and struggle are directly transmitted to the audience in the form of dance.
