At the beginning, Ning Yuan couldn't appreciate the costume dramas of the Neon Country, such as "The Tale of the Heavenly Guard".

The face is smeared with white powder, not to mention, but also painted with two clusters of redness, not to mention the night, the day looks gloomy and compassionate, if you grin again, I will drop a mother!

But if you put aside this kind of makeup, after really understanding the plot, Ning Yuan admired it again.

"The Tale of the Castle Tower" is the masterpiece of the Neon National Treasury Noka Theater Company, which tells an absurd story of the love between humans and ghosts.

The beautiful princess was entangled by the castle lord and became angry, and her soul dwelled in the wooden lion of the castle tower. Later, the princess fell in love with the samurai under the lord of the castle, and was stabbed in the eye by the men who came to capture the samurai. The two prepare for martyrdom, but the carver of the wooden lion gouges open its eyes, and the princess sees again.

The play is based on the work "The Legend of Himeji Castle Castle Tower" by the modern writer Izumi Kagika of Neon Country, which was rehearsed by the prestigious theater group of Neon Country, and the Neon National Treasure Master Sakado Yuzaburo also starred in the movie of the same name.

In the 85-year-old drama version, the actor of Neon Country, Shinichi Tsutsumi, who will play the stone god in "The Devotion of Suspect X" in the future, has also acted.

The performance feature of the Kunoka Troupe is the performance method of "two actors, one role" - the performers only play, and the reciters only read, and the two play a role together, which is a bit like a double reed in China, which makes Ning Yuan and them watch it with relish.

It's just that compared with double reeds, one is drama and the other is quyi.

"Actually, there are a lot of classical dramas such as Bunraku, Kabuki, and Noh in the Neon Country, and when I saw it for the first time, I thought it was based on our double reed, but later I realized that it was not. Yu Xiaojie on the side said.

Ning Yuan looked at her in surprise: "You've only been here for two or three years, so you know so much about this?"

"Well, my research direction is theater performance. ”

Yu Xiaojie raised her chin with a smug expression, and then said:

"There are many ways to do this, but the Kunoka Theatre Company also has their own innovations. ”

As she spoke, Yu Xiaojie pointed to the stage and said:

"You see, their costumes are colorful, the percussion is strong, and they create a stage atmosphere full of power and illusion for the audience, which is a bit magical, but it's really interesting. ”

In the subsequent workshop, someone liked this approach, saying:

"I think it's a 'discordant effect', and it's a return to the traditional method of theatrical performance. ”

Others disagree with this approach, retorting:

"I think that this is the use of actors as props, which restricts the performance of actors, and lacks the richness of performances, which may not be able to better shape and interpret characters. ”

And the director of this drama, Satoshi Miyagi, said with a smile:

"Our troupe has been exploring this method for ten years, because we feel that in modern urban life, people's language and emotions are actually separated, just like water and oil, and people express their feelings in an indirect way. It is mainly through this form that I express the reflections of modern people. ”

These words made Ning Yuan's heart move!

Because after the fire of "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" in the neon country, many film critics said similar things when they analyzed the reasons-

Economic development, the pace has become faster, what has come is the indifference of human feelings, everyone is wearing a mask, just like Satoshi Miyagi said just now, words and deeds are separated, or ...... Hypocrisy.

Therefore, when I saw that movie, it moved countless people in the neon country, because this is exactly what they are missing at this stage.

And now, Satoshi Miyagi said the same, which further confirmed Ning Yuan's judgment and strengthened his confidence - the movie will definitely sell here!

This is the reason why the time and place are favorable, and it is used to seeing it in China, but in the neon country, it is rare.

Satoshi Miyagi smiled and explained:

Of course, this method of acting is only used when directing the plays of the Kunoka Troupe, especially the classical tragedies with intense feelings, such as "Electra" and "Hamlet". ”

The seminar is not to discuss who is right and who is wrong, but to confirm and inspire each other, and in the end, there is naturally no unified result, but everyone has their own gains.

Especially Ning Yuan, if it weren't for the next performance task, he couldn't wait to pull Yu Xiaojie out to talk about the release.

After that, Ning Yuan and the others watched Goryeo's "Journey to the Island of Dancing Clothes".

This one is also based on the literature of their home country and comes from the early works of the late Goryeo writer Ham Shideok.

It is mainly about the destiny of a farmer's child, who wants to be a writer after graduation, but because of his poor family, he has to work to make a living. The uncle went out to sea to fish, hoping that the destiny of heaven would come on the boat to help, but the destiny of the destiny to take care of his mother was reluctant to go. But later, in order to save his sister, who sold himself to buy a boat, he got on his uncle's wrecked ship and was eventually swallowed by the sea.

is also a tragedy, and it also reflects the tragic life of the Goryeo people under the tyrannical rule of the Neon Country, this kind of work with a strong realistic theme was actually performed in the Neon Country, and Ning Yuan couldn't help but admire their courage.

However, the inclusiveness of the theater festival is also reflected here, even if it is a theater person in the neon country, the discussion is only based on the facts, starting from the work.

The good thing is that the realistic portrayal is in place, the actors' performances are simple, and the shortcomings are Meng Hui's speech this time:

"The pace is a bit slow, and because there is more narration, there is a lack of inner portrayal and lyrical passages of the characters. ”

This statement has been recognized by the vast majority of people, and they have also paid attention to Meng Hui, a young director, for the first time, although Meng Hui is in his thirties, but after all, it is the first time to participate in the theater festival.

In addition, as Yu Xiaojie and many viewers said, whether it is Neon Country or Goryeo, although the works brought are all classics, it is precisely because of the classics that they are like fried cold rice, over and over again, which inevitably makes familiar people feel bored.

On the contrary, it is Huaxia, although the finale work, "Baptism" brought by the General Political Drama Troupe, was criticized for being too didactic, and the protagonist was 'tall, big, and complete', which was not so real, but the sense of space and scene, especially the handling of the prologue and flood fighting scenes, made them full of praise and thought it was very shocking and impactful.

This is a new drama, including Ning Yuan's rhinoceros, Wu Gang's very mahjong, which are also new dramas.

As a Korean drama critic said, "A sense of freshness represents trial and effort, which is what our team will learn and change in the future."

Naturally, this time, Huaxia's works, because of a 'new', have been widely praised, and what followed was the award stage, which also received quite a lot of votes.
