On the 23rd, 2021 Poly Yanghua's "Like a Dream" Wuhan Station ushered in the second performance. At this moment, nearly a thousand spectators walked into the Qintai Grand Theater to feel the charm of the stage.
And last night's public welfare field, #Dream of Dreams Wuhan Staged # has rushed to Weibo's hot search with 100 million views, and the most moving scene occurred at the end of the curtain:
"My ancestral home is Wuhan, Hubei." When Feng Xianzhen, an old drama bone, said this sentence, the crowd was excited. And then came a more dramatic moment: 31 actors took to the stage, each taking 10 seconds to confess to the hero city.
We are healing souls in a fictional world, and you are saving lives in a cruel world, paying tribute to heroic cities.
It is your efforts that allow me to stand on this stage and stand in Wuhan at this moment today.
There is a line in the play, "People should live for themselves, they should live for the love and belief that protect themselves", and it was you who made me see the power to heal the world.
△ The 2021 Poly Yanghua "Like a Dream" Shenzhou Nine Cities Tour, screenwriter and director Lai Shengchuan, producer and producer Wang Keran, by Chen Limei, Zhang Rui as executive directors to complete the collaboration. It has a strong cast, including: Xu Qing, Feng Xianzhen, Xiao Zhan, Zhang Liang, Huang Lu, Yan Nan, Kong Wei, Ge Xinyi, Zhao Zizin and other 31 actors.
Known as the "Epic of Chinese Theater", Wuhan is the first stop of the Nine Cities Tour and the most special one.
In addition to the three market-oriented performances, a special public welfare special session was added to invite front-line builders who contributed to the development of Wuhan to watch the drama for free.
Therefore, in the audience yesterday, there were both medical care from the medical team returning from other places, and there were also familiar volunteers "medicine bag brother".
This is a warm scene, and last night's performance fully confirmed: Wuhan, a heroic city, its cultural atmosphere and the audience's desire for good dramas are worthy of blockbuster dramas like "Like a Dream".
Hot market
Watch the drama at the door, give it power!
The stage of "Dream like a Dream" (hereinafter referred to as "Dream") is very special, the original stage interior was hollowed out and transformed into a "Lotus Pond" seat, and the new stage was built around the Lotus Pond in the shape of a "Hui". The audience of the lotus pond is equipped with a rotating seat, not only 360 ° close, but also want to see where to turn.
Every time the "Like a Dream" crew performs in a location, hundreds of people need to work together to redesign and modify the stage, and it takes 8-9 days to install and dismantle the stage. And this modification process is also a test of the resilience of the theater.
As the first stop of the tour, throughout April, Wuhan Qintai Grand Theatre donated all the venue to "Like a Dream", and after the performance ended on April 25, it will return to its original appearance.
At the same time, in response to this popular drama (130,000 people per second grabbed tickets), Qintai Theater also added artifacts to the ticket inspection link: 5 face recognition systems and intelligent document all-in-one machines, ticket inspection and a process of crossing the gate at the high-speed rail station.
People, certificates, and tickets can be passed unanimously, and this trick eliminates scalpers and ensures the best viewing experience.
Refresh the viewing experience, in addition to the ticket verification artifact, there is also the setting of the ticket price. The seat of "Like a Dream" is the most expensive 1880 yuan and the lowest 80 yuan, so the broad price range allows more people who love drama to enter the theater.
In fact, in recent years, the performances of the same big coffee seats, because of the government's policy of benefiting the people, Wuhan venues can often grab preferential ticket prices lower than those in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. This is also why more and more drama fans and classical music fans fly to Wuhan on weekends to punch in.
The relay of multiple resources has led to the hot performance market in Wuhan in recent years. In the past three years, Qintai Concert Hall has introduced more than 320 international A-class performances, and 8 of the world's top 10 symphony orchestras have come to Wuhan.
Every important holiday, Wuhan people have the opportunity to watch a big drama at their doorstep. National events such as the Qintai Music Festival, wuhan international acrobatic festival, Chinese opera art festival, China Good Voice Finals, Chinese Youth Film Week, lpl spring competition finals and so on, attracting a large number of foreign audiences to Han.
Lovely audience
8 hours marathon performance, full score!
The fiery performance market has also cultivated an increasingly mature audience. The 8-hour long viewing of "Like a Dream" is called a "marathon" challenge.
For many people in Wuhan, this is the first time. Enter at 2 p.m., end at 11:30 p.m., and have a meal to eat halfway through, which is a bit of a school training (laughs).
In the face of this training, how are the Wuhan people performing? We randomly talked to a few friends in the midfield/final.
Ms. Wu, who was lucky enough to win the "Lotus Pond" seat, is a volunteer, and she said that this position is close enough to see the actors' eyes and body language, so she feels more and more seriously when conveying emotions, "I will not fall asleep at all, and I can watch for a few hours." The montage-style theatrical interpretation also made her feel so novel.
Mr. Xiao, who is also a volunteer, carefully "did his homework" on the Internet before watching the performance, and repeated the plot to me in a similar way, and unsuspecting people passed by, thinking that this was the crew chatting. He commented on the show: "The lighting and music are just right, satisfying the vision of the show before coming." ”
Ms. Zhang, a veteran theater fan who worked in Wuxi before, watched many performances, and felt that the overall cultural atmosphere was very different from before after returning to Han, "When the Tickets were issued at Wuhan Station, my friends and I were willing to spend 1880 yuan to buy tickets for Lotus Pond, and Wuhan people were willing to pay for good dramas." ”
Ms. Zhang looks 40+, wearing a pop print deep V dress, with exquisite makeup, you can see that she has been carefully dressed. I said, you sisters will dress up specially when they come out to watch the play? She laughed and replied, "Of course, be pretty, and don't embarrass the people of Wuhan." ”
Lovely.
In fact, in the 8-hour-long dream scene, the audience was very cute in the face of the laughter and anger on the stage.
When encountering funny bridges, the crowd never skimps on laughter; in the deep and sad plot, people listen with bated breath, afraid of making the slightest noise that destroys the atmosphere; the actors act to the emotional place, and some people on the stage silently take out tissues to wipe their tears.
Including the final curtain call, because there were only 5 minutes to give 31 actors a confession to Wuhan, the crew decided to wait for the actors to finish speaking and then ask the audience to give back applause, and when Xu Qing finally said "Salute to Wuhan, bless tomorrow", our enthusiastic Wuhan people raised their hands.
The applause was thunderous and the curtain fell on perfectly.
Tonight the dream continues, the next 3 days, "Dream like a Dream" will continue to perform at the Wuhan Qintai Grand Theatre, I hope you can get the best experience this weekend.
