Practice makes perfect, and performances can be connected.

Many men who choose to change their gender, or like to be a little victim, and women who are just the opposite, do not regard themselves as this gender when they are young, either due to environmental influences or reasons of their own cognition, at least they do not like their current gender.

With this foundation, they will identify themselves as opposite genders in terms of interests, hobbies, and how they dress, including psychologically.

If the actor does the same, it's probably experiential – convincing himself that he's a woman/man.

Brecht, on the other hand, innovated his own theory after the experience: dissociation.

As far as the performance method is concerned, the "distancing method" requires the actor to keep a certain distance from the role, not to merge the two into one, and the actor to be higher than the role, control the role, and perform the role.

Ning Yuan's performance between Shen De and Cui Da alone, if he is higher than them, he is probably genderless, or hermaphroditic?

For example, the Asura of the Sacred Legend or the Lotus Boy Nezha?

Apparently not.

If the ordained monk is an experiential school, then the wine and flesh pass through the heart of the Buddha, which is probably a separation, separating the body from the soul, higher than the 'role' of oneself, but the core has not changed.

Of course, this is also a bit one-sided, and it is not the whole story.

There is another kind, a remake, which is not confined to the original work, but has its own core. Just like Journey to the West and Journey to the West, Condor Shooting and East Becomes West.

Ning Yuan subverted the past - in the past, most of them were actresses playing Shen De, and then women dressed as men to play Cui Da.

Up to now, this kind of is the mainstream, and Shen De's change to Cui Da is actually a change of clothes, a hat and a beard.

Although a good performance can make the audience forget about the outside, just like Ning Yuan's previous life, Pan Yueming performed the four senses by himself, but on the drama stage, this division will seem thin, after all, there is no delicacy and transition of film and television.

There is another way, that is, Shen De and Cui Da find actresses and male actors to play respectively, the advantage of this is that the interval between scenes does not need to be too long, and even the scene can be changed at any time, and it is completely separated.

But the two good-looking people will split the audience's perception.

Ning Yuan's kind is actually a bit risky, but fortunately, his female costume is very successful, and he chooses a big stage, if it is replaced by a small theater of avant-garde drama, or even a circular theater, it will not be soft, but the fierceness of the big Yanma.

After all, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, even if he wears low heels, he is taller, and he has to increase the upper circumference and hip circumference to highlight the waist.

The big stage is far away, but the effect is better, and the small stage completely exposes the shortcomings.

Another point is time.

Because makeup and costume change are too time-consuming, even if the makeup artist has cooperated for so many scenes, Ning Yuan's costume change can make perfect, but after all, it takes time, which causes the interval between scenes to be too long, so that the audience has to find a new feeling when they watch it again.

Each one has pros and cons, and it is also a product of different eras, just like next year's musical of the same name, which also uses a lot of Cantonese, and even changes the words to very Xiangjiang dialect in a down-to-earth manner, as if it did not happen in Sichuan Province, but in Xiangjiang.

Although this change has departed from the original structure, the play itself is an open-ended food for people to think and enlighten, and the main line has not changed.

What's more, even a subversion like "East Becomes West" can be accepted by the audience, and this kind of adaptation is nothing, and it can still attract the audience's interest.

As long as Shen De is not changed to - "Shen De married the pilot scumbag played by Liu Ye, and then the pilot deceived her miserably, she cried at home when she did nothing, and then pulled the child with hard work, and waited for the scumbag to be poor outside, and then welcomed him home with fraternity" This kind of feeding behavior is acceptable to the audience.

Of course, even if this is the case, it has been common in bitter dramas since the past few years, and it will explode a few years later, after all, ...... The ratings are really good.

Sometimes, it is not a good thing to create too much on the basis of ratings, box office, or the interests of the audience, just like the two-person turn in the Northeast back then, in order to cater to the audience more and more meat, and the same is the song hall stage in Sha City, Hunan Province, which is completely based on the audience's preferences.

Therefore, Brecht's distancing, in addition to the actor's performance being higher than the role, is also higher than the audience's aesthetics.

However, this kind of thing is easy to say, and if you are not careful, it will become Wang Jiawei's "East Evil and West Poison", which is higher than the character and higher than the audience, but the fragmented series makes the audience see it in a fog, but Liu Zhenwei's "Journey to the West" combines the two just right.

No matter how you look at it, in fact, it is more in line with the category of literary films, and it is still a tragic literary film.

Although the success of Dahua is not only due to Liu Zhenwei, but also to Zhou Xingchi's superb performance, but this movie, the director and screenwriter are all from Liu Zhenwei, plus the remedy for the tragic loss of "East Evil and West Poison", no matter what aspect it is, Liu is stronger than Wang.

Ning Yuan sometimes thinks when he thinks about this, in fact, there is not much separation between business and literature and art, why do you have to separate it, just like "Journey to the West", it can give people the audio-visual enjoyment when watching, and it is good to have an aftertaste after the end.

In fact, if many directors don't think about winning awards, and only carve films from these two aspects, many people can shoot well, but the sadness lies in the fact that both China and the West artificially separate these, and then in order to evaluate and win awards, they will do what they like to give new words and say that they are worried.

However, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, even if it's Ning Yuan, he can't help but want awards, so these are just his personal complaints, he can't do it himself, how can he ask others?

The performance on stage continued, and although it was an exaggeration to say 'mesmerized', the vast majority of the audience was indeed captivated at this moment.

This play was born from Brecht's original work, but it has the experience of being directed by Lyubimov decades ago, adjusted for the current style, and collided with the oriental ideas of Ning Yuan and Meng Hui, and experienced the feedback of the Berlin Theater Festival, as well as the domestic tour, has been performing, has been adjusting, and has been polishing with excellence, and it is naturally getting better and better.

When the curtain call was over, the applause immediately surged, and then someone took the lead, and more and more people stood up to show their respect.

The flash lights continued to light up on the stage, and then to the audience, recording the grand occasion.

Everyone has a hunch that this drama will definitely gain a foothold in Xiangjiang and become popular for a long time after tonight.

After the curtain call, some people appeared, and some people went straight to the backstage, wanting to get close to the actors, but they were all stopped without exception.

A few hours of performance is a great drain on energy and mental strength, and if you want to perform well, you have to pay full attention, how can you still have the strength to be interviewed, let alone receive an audience that is ten times more than a hundred times.

What's more, the backstage space is not big, and there are too many audiences, once an accident is triggered, let alone continue the tour, even they have to eat and walk around.

Because of the explanation of the reason, although the audience regretted it, they all expressed their understanding and left.

However, the media still didn't leave, they were all outside, and they thought, you can't help but come out.

The others were indeed tired enough, but Ning Yuan was fine, and at this time the audience was gone, so there was no need to worry about him appearing and causing crowding.

So after discussing it, Ning Yuan came out alone.

Seeing Ning Yuan, these reporters hurriedly surrounded him, and after a while, Ning Yuan held a bunch of microphones in his hands, with various station logos hanging on them.

Without waiting for them to ask, Ning Yuan pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "I'm sorry, because the schedule has been relatively full recently, so I can only have a brief chat with everyone, and the time is controlled within twenty minutes, thank you." ”

"Mr. Ning, how did you come up with the idea of using this kind of male costume to perform?"

As soon as it came out, a reporter threw out the issues that everyone was most concerned about.

"Although Brecht's drama is good, after decades of interpretation, many viewers know how much even if they haven't seen it, and we hope that through this change, it will be revitalized, and it will also be more interesting and more enjoyable for the audience. ”

"Does this mean that there is a need for this kind of gimmick to attract the audience in theatrical performances now, or does the audience prefer this alternative interpretation?"

Ning Yuanxin said that these Xiangjiang reporters can indeed ask and dare to ask, and they have no scruples, and they will cover their heads with a big pot when they come up, if you can't explain it clearly, just wait for them to guide them with a bias tomorrow.

"The audience's tastes are diverse, and the inclusiveness is also very strong, just like you can't eat barbecued pork buns in the morning, you can't eat shrimp dumplings, the same reason, Danjiao has never been exclusive to female actors, and there have been rich practices in opera many years ago. ”

Ning Yuan did a Tai Chi and reacted quickly, making these reporters realize that this guy is not as easy to fool as Xiao Young at this age.

And then comes the more acute question:

"Since your version of "The Good People of Sichuan Province" can win the gold medal at the Berlin Theater Festival, it means that you have performed very well, and so many stars are here today, do they feel unconvinced and want to come and see it?"

What the hell are you ...... Can you do it a little more?

mmp in his heart, but Ning Yuan smiled on his face:

"Today, I am really grateful to these seniors and colleagues for their support, performance is a huge and complex art genre, just like reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, as long as I can spare time, I will also go to the theater, theater, or watch their works in front of TV. ”

Ning Yuan's answer never dealt with it head-on, because they were digging a hole, and no matter what you said, they would be found loopholes, so Ning Yuan could only jump out and talk about him left and right, which was also the practical experience of many years in his previous life.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Yuan didn't wait for them to ask, and took the initiative to say:

"I know people care a lot about this play, so let me tell you about it briefly. Although the form has changed from the previous performances, the core and main line are still retained, and this is an open exploration ......"

Under Ning Yuan's incessant talk, these reporters couldn't interject at all.

Then, Ning Yuan looked up at the time and said with a smile:

"Okay, that's about it for this play, thank you, we're up in time. ”
