The plot of "Sifan" is that the little nun Sekong spends her days in Xiantao Nunnery and can't bear to be lonely, and she escapes from the mountain in love with her mortal life.

And "Going Down the Mountain" is mainly about a little monk who has no Dharma name, who also suffered from the cold and loneliness in the temple, and took advantage of the master's going out to go down the mountain from Bitao Temple.

Blended together, the two met on the way down the mountain, and then something happened, and then they had feelings.

Because of this, it is called double downhill.

Because one came out of Xiantao Nunnery and the other came out of Bitao Temple, in Meng Hui's pen, they were called 'Escape'.

And because there are 'peaches', they also read the peach and the peach, which is extended to the "peach" of the Book of Songs: the peach is unexpected, scorching its flower...... Originally, it was a poem to congratulate the newlyweds, comparing the peach blossoms to the bride, expressing the yearning for a better life.

In this way, it is also in line with the original intention of this drama, the same little nun and little monk pursue a better life, which was deviant at the time, but they dared to break the world, pursue freedom, and also criticize the imprisonment of that thought.

As for "Decameron", it depicts ten young men and women going out together, which is very interesting during the day, but very boring at night, in order to pass the time, they discuss telling a story each night, and after ten days, there are 100 stories, which are assembled into the Decameron.

"When we were still studying in Chinese opera, we were thinking about making some changes to the form of drama all day long, you see, small theater drama is actually called Experimental Theater in English, but the original meaning of this word is actually experimental theater. At that time, we dared to rehearse everything, and many times we didn't even have a script, and we discussed the next plot and lines while arranging them, and slowly we had a context, so for everyone, this was a very novel thing, and it also made us more and more interested. ”

Ning Yuan knew that Meng Hui had a very high degree and a master's degree.

At the beginning, he was an undergraduate at Beijing Normal University, during which he joined the Frog Experimental Troupe directed by Mou Sen, the elder brother of Beijing Normal University, and after graduating in 86, he was assigned to the school as a teacher.

In '87, the Experimental Frog Theatre Company staged French playwright Ionescu's absurdist play "The Rhinoceros", in which Meng Hui starred in a rhinoceros named Jean.

This is the first time Meng Hui has stepped on the stage of Chinese opera, and it is also the ape dung of him and the rhinoceros.

Because of this experience, Meng Hui felt that he had found his own direction, so he decided to apply for the Chinese Opera examination that year, and the next year, he got his wish and got the notice of graduate student of the Chinese Opera Directing Department.

It was from that time that Meng Hui's greatest creative enthusiasm burst out, and he rehearsed a new play with his classmates.

"At that time, the most striking aspect of us was the bold breaking down of the boundaries between playwright, director, and actor, and advocating a kind of performance that was "vibrant, skeptical, and rebellious." ”

"In '91 and '92, I formed a creative collective with more than a dozen theater fanatics of Huaju, and my main task as a director was to inspire the actors to write every word of the play, and to improvise at the same time. ”

At that time, there were Hu Jun and his wife Lu Fang among the actors, as well as Xu Fan, He Bing, Chen Xiaoyi, Han Qing, Gong Lijun, Guo Tao, as well as Diao Yinan, Xiaomei, Zhang Yang, Huo Xin, these main creators. ”

Meng Hui sighed: "Now, they are all popular, but fortunately, they haven't forgotten the drama, but most of them have gone to Renyi, just me, Xiaomei and Guo Tao came to our theater, but unfortunately Guo Tao is not honest." ”

"But when it comes to this Sifan, it was a classic that we collided with at the beginning, there was really no script at that time, or Lu Xiaopin took the script of Kunqu Opera "Down the Mountain", I recited with them while revising and adding, and then improvised to rehearse, and in the end, Lu Xiaopin played the little monk Benwu, and the little nun was empty, which was played by Liu Tianchi. ”

Of course Ning Yuan knows this version, the first version in 93, although these two people are still unknown at this time, but they will become popular in different ways in the future.

At this time, Lu Xiaopin has already acted in "I Love My Family", and he has also acted in another "Huaxia Restaurant" by Yingda, and his cooperation with Yingda has continued, just this year, he was also invested by Yingda, and directed and acted in a "Networm Diary", playing the leading role, and the heroine is Dai Lele - Yu Baimei's wife.

In fact, this drama is a joint work of Yu Baimei and Ning Caishen, in which the two men and the third male are called by their names respectively, playing Yu Baimei's ...... It's the Yellow Sect Master.

In next year's "Northeast Family", Lu Xiaopin will play the son of the Niu family, the guy who hangs the mantra of "why is it always me who is unlucky" all day long.

As for Liu Tianchi, it will take more than ten years to become popular with her 'roaring' teaching method in variety shows. However, her debut work was Zhang Yimou's "Alive" a few years ago, in which she played Fugui's daughter, the mute daughter Fengxia who died in childbirth.

In fact, they still have the ability, otherwise no matter how good this "Sifan" is, they can't play the effect, and they can't cause a sensation.

"During the rehearsal, one day I saw "Decameron" and thought, why not add something fresh, so I started to process it again and rearrange ......"

In the drama, Meng Hui added two stories from "Decameron", one of which is the second story of the third day.

The story is about a groom who pretended to be the king and slept with the queen, and when the king found out about this, he found out that night and cut off a handful of his hair, but the groom cut off all the other people's hair, and thus escaped punishment.

The other, the sixth story on day nine, tells of two young men who go out together and spend the night in a family's house.

One of the young men climbed into the bed of the master's daughter in the middle of the night, and the master's wife slipped into the bed of another young man, and the first man, when he had finished his work, climbed into the bed of the girl's father, mistook him for his companion, and told him about the pleasures he had just done.

At this time, there was naturally a lot of noise, and the housewife, who had figured out everything, climbed into her daughter's bed, covered up the past with a few words, and calmed down the quarrel.

Absurd, seemingly bottomless chaos, but in the first story, Boccaccio shows that the groom is no different from the king, and both have the right to pursue happiness.

The second is a criticism of everyone's unbridled desires.

"One is the pursuit, the other is the pursuit of excessive, used in the drama, what I want to show is the kind of balance, the pursuit of happiness is okay, but there needs to be a degree, otherwise it is not beautiful, but chaos. ”

Hearing what Ning Yuan said, Meng Hui's eyes lit up: "Hey, those who know me, Xiao Yuanzi is also!"

"Get out!"
