The road of art is full of thorns, and only the strong-willed can move forward without fear. As a director, Zhang Yi's chinese history and culture spirit and art blend in his heart, his eyes are focused on every detail of the stage, and more exquisite ideas burst out of his brain. Zhang Yi's artistic achievements and innovative spirit have deeply influenced the Yifei Weiya team, who have the same endless pursuit of art, boldly changed and innovated, and developed a patented technology that can be applied to stage performances. The actors in the air above "flying" began to perfectly display the difficult actions one by one, and the audience also appreciated the artistic charm of Chinese acrobatics from a new perspective.

Zhang Yi has directed stage plays for many years, deeply aware of the lack of innovation and interactivity of traditional stage plays, and the audience's requirements for realism and experience have increased, how to create more exciting and novel sensory enjoyment, so that indoor sitcoms can truly "cross"?

At first, Zhang Yi, like countless directing teams, strived to perfectly match the stage lighting, costumes, etc. to show the real scene, but after many explorations, his eyes turned to the acrobatic stage that was not recognized - Weiya.

"Rub! rub! rub! With a few taps on the wall, a "martial arts master" has the skill of "flying cornice walking on the wall" on TV. This is a very common shot in martial arts film and television dramas, martial arts directors have been using the mechanical principles of Weiya technology for many years, so that actors become "trapeze artists", churning, fighting, and even dancing in mid-air are incomparably stunning in the lens, and the legendary color of the characters is rendered gorgeous.

This gave him a bold idea, "Wia is an auxiliary technology of film and television, but our drama can use it as a new means of expression, making WIA a new stage language!" Zhang Yi said excitedly.

It is not difficult to know, but it is difficult to do. Let "Weiya" degenerate in acrobatics, and its road is full of thorns. This kind of use, acrobatic drama has not been used, the stage drama is unique, and the heavy burden is on Xiao Youlin, chairman of Yifei Stunt and director of Weiya. Zhang Yi has high hopes for the Yifei team, and he constantly advises: "We want the audience to really integrate into the drama, even if it is a small detail, can not be wrong..." The director's vision and expectation have aroused the fire in everyone's heart, to be the first! To make a different stage Wea!
