Xiangjiang used to be just a small fishing village, not to mention dramas and musicals, not even classical Chinese opera, and the first stage performance could only be Cantonese opera.

Probably since the end of the Qing Dynasty, as the integration of Xiangjiang and the world has become deeper and deeper, Western dramas, musicals, and dance dramas have also entered Xiangjiang, but at that time, the most popular was Cantonese opera.

From the "difficult steps" in the middle of the last century, to the gradual commercial success of "a hundred flowers blooming", and then to the increasingly diversified and localized original themes after the millennium, Heung Kong stage plays have sprung up in Chinese stage dramas with the unique power of "Hong Kong locality".

Just like mainland dramas, from the beginning of which can only perform Western scripts, to the later works created by the older generation of artists, such as "Thunderstorm", "Teahouse", "Four Generations in the Same Hall", and the opera "The White-Haired Girl", etc., have achieved extraordinary success, and have been exported abroad, which are also well received.

In addition to localization, classic stage plays such as "Hamlet", "Romeo and Juliet", etc., are still enduring, and have been adapted into many genres and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The Good People of Sichuan Province" is slightly less famous than these, but as long as you are a drama lover, you have heard of it, but you have seen it, except for going to the West and abroad, there are no local ones, or there are rehearsals, but they have not attracted much attention.

Before movies and TV series, stage plays were mainstream all over the world, but with movies, the mainstream became second-rate, and after television, second-rate became non-mainstream.

Of course, the non-mainstream is in comparison, and it is also a large number in terms of the population base of China and even the world, take tonight as an example, in addition to the celebrities and stars who are cheering, and the audience who is just attracted by the publicity, there are not a few other drama lovers.

The Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Center has more than 1,700 seats, and the seats are full, and at least more than 1,000 spectators are theater lovers and even practitioners.

Just like when Ning Yuan starred in "Rhino in Love", those students and actors who learned that Ning Yuan was not only admitted to Chinese opera, but also specially recruited into the Huaxia Theater, all wanted to come and see Ning Yuan's depth, and they were curious, observing, learning, and dissatisfied.

Including Xie Zhifeng, at the beginning, he ridiculed that he wanted to watch Ning Yuan's award-winning drama, but he was also unconvinced.

Although he was in the crew before, seeing the scene with Cheng Long made him feel Ning Yuan's awesomeness and admitted that Ning Yuan's acting skills were indeed very good, but that short scene still couldn't be equated with the gold medal of the Berlin Theater Festival in his impression.

These emperor's actors, not only because of Cheng Long, but also because their boss Yang Shoucheng also came, Xie Zhifeng, Wu Haokang, Twins, and Boyz came by themselves, after all, they all worked with Ning Yuan in "New Police Story", although Gillian did not, but Ah Sa is the second female lead in it.

As for others, like Zhang Jiahui, Ren Ahua, and Fang Zuming, it is because they are all actors, and they have no jobs for the time being, so let them watch together.

Ning Yuan didn't know this yet, otherwise he felt a little uncomfortable, did the actor come to see my play?

Of course, there is still a big difference between stage performances and film and television performances, some drama actors sometimes can't control the proportions of film and television dramas, their expressions, movements, and voices are slightly exaggerated, and film and television actors will also encounter many problems when they come to perform dramas.

In terms of film and television performances, Ning Yuan may be slightly inferior to Zhang, but in terms of drama performances, he can also give Zhang some inspiration.

This time, in addition to the adjustment of details, the structure has also changed.

The previous version of the performance was a song and dance performance on the ink stage at the beginning, and Ning Yuan originally referred to the kind of "Rain Alley in a Small Town", but this time, the appearance of the three immortals was brought to the front.

Because they all speak Cantonese.

Although there are not many words, it still made the three actors work hard, but looking at the audience's surprise at the beginning and the warm applause that followed, it shows that this adjustment has a good effect.

The line adaptation of this, Ning Yuan also referred to the musical that will come out next year, adapted and rehearsed by the acting family, although the musical is mainly sung, but there are also a lot of dialogues.

When "the three immortals in the clouds have traveled for 3,000 days, they must teach the evil in the world to determine the good", showing a sense of colloquial rhythm, it will be the first to win people.

In addition, the multi-functional stage of the Heung Kong Cultural Center also adds a modern touch to the adaptation - the confrontation between Lao Wang, the three immortals and the three neighbors is shown through the rotating stage, and the person facing is illuminated by the chasing light, while the others are shrouded in darkness, and the immortals communicate with these people in turn.

In this way, the stage adds a sense of hierarchy to the choreography.

However, this is not entirely the credit of Ning Yuan, it is also his idea based on the original version he has seen before, which is like a designer drawing a sketch, and the engineer demonstrates the feasibility of all aspects according to the design, and finally implements it.

The slang in Cantonese is appropriately transferred to the original play, bringing the stage closer to the audience's life, and adding a bit of witty highlights.

Just like the water seller Lao Wang went door to door to find a place to live for the three immortals, but when he touched his nose, the neighbors on the side of the road scolded:

"Immediately the corpse is mixed with Ji again!"

The general meaning is 'get out of here, don't fool around', in order to reject Lao Wang.

Translating lines like this is concise and to the point, and it is full of Cantonese modulation and frustration.

For the audience, this kind of 'adaptation to local conditions' also gives them a sense of familiarity and intimacy, and the distance is no longer as if it was a foreign product, purely looking at the form of art, without really investing in it.

In this way, Cantonese permeates it, even if too much slang is used, it seems to flow smoothly without a sense of abruptness, and at the same time, it also makes the whole stage have just the right amount of relaxation, relaxation and even joyful atmosphere.

The good-natured laughter that erupts from time to time is also an affirmation for the actors.

Including those bigwigs who were supposed to be cheering, they also looked into it unconsciously, staring intently at the stage, and there was nothing else in their eyes.

Even they are like this, not to mention those ordinary audiences, the more they watch, the more they are engaged, and they are pleasantly surprised, even if they are not completely distracted during the short transition, but sigh that they are fortunate not to miss this good drama.

The real excitement of course comes from Ning Yuan's appearance - the Chinese-style swaying minor key and soft dance originally placed at the beginning, when Ning Yuan, who was wearing a cheongsam, held a small umbrella and swayed his body, the eyes of the audience were straight.

There are people who know the inside story, such as Zhang Manyu, Cheng Long, and Yang Fan, who all know that this is Ning Yuan, including Zhang Manyu, who has already seen it in Berlin, and they can't help but be amazed at this moment: "It's so beautiful."

Yang Fan has also seen it, and I don't know how many times I repeated: "I knew that I had filmed the dream of the garden and let this guy play Cuihua, it is absolutely classic, and it is a pity...... It's a shame......"

Cuihua, the heroine of that movie, played by Rie Miyazawa, wears either a cheongsam all day long, or a costume to play against Rong Lan played by Wang Zuxian, which is very feminine.

As for Xie Zhufeng, before he could come back to his senses, he heard Yang Fan's words and said in surprise: "This ...... Is this really Ning Yuan?"

Cheng Long was also a little incredulous: "Although I mentioned it before, but the first time I saw it, I still felt a little unreal, it was indeed too beautiful." ”

Zhang Jiahui on the side bowed slightly: "Indeed, it is easy to play a woman, and it is not easy, put on clothes and makeup, and at most add some material to your figure, it will be, but if you can't act that taste, it can only make people disgusting, but Ning Yuan's performance, that demeanor, and the gait between walking, obviously show the most feminine side of a woman, this detail...... Terrible. ”

In addition to them, the bigwigs who sat with Jiang Zhiqiang also asked, when they learned that the stunner on the stage who made them couldn't help but have a hot stomach, it was really played by Ning Yuan, and their hearts were on their expressions, not to mention how wonderful it was.

Although it's a little untasteful, I still want to play with it at close range, what kind of ambivalence is this?

As for Jiang Youyou, he was completely stunned at the moment.

In the previous rehearsal, Ning Yuan did not completely dress up, did not change his costumes, although he performed that smell, but he lacked the addition of costumes, makeup and accessories, and his appearance was still much worse.

What's more, the main light hit Ning Yuan's body, and Ning Yuan, whose skin had almost recovered, was whiter at this time, and with the blush and delicate eyebrows and eye makeup, as well as the red lips, even Jiang Youyou wanted to sigh that it was really beautiful, but he still couldn't help it.

But in his heart, Jiang Youyou felt more and more that Ning Yuan was really a treasure, like an onion, peeling off one layer and one layer, you thought he had four layers, but in fact there were many layers inside.

In reality, Jiang Youyou, who is familiar with Ning Yuan, is like this, and when he learned that the person in front of him was Shen De, he had seen the cast list and knew that Shen De was the audience played by Ning Yuan, not to mention.

Σ(⊙▽⊙“a

Although there are no lights in the audience and they can't see the pictures on the tickets, in their minds, they feel that they can't remember Ning Yuan's original appearance, only the soft and moving people on the stage are left, and the thin waist swaying, like a weak willow supporting the wind, elegant and light.

Even they can't figure out how a man dressed as a woman can achieve such an extreme.

The thin waist can be contrasted by thickening up and down, not to mention that the cheongsam already highlights the figure, but it can be ...... The curling Tingting between the walks, the style between the expressions, standing in the crowd of warblers and swallows, do not feel abrupt.

Even...... At this moment, they all couldn't believe their eyes, could it be that these people next to them were also men.

After being surprised and appreciating, as the plot progressed, one scene after another performance came to another place in the play:

Cousin Trida appears.

Although it has been a long time, the audience is not impatient, when a beam of chasing light on the stage is down, cutting through the darkness, Ning Yuan, who has a very different look and temperament, came to the top from the lifting stage, looking down on everyone from above, with a rebellious expression with contempt for all indifference.

The same person, such a big contrast before and after, the audience, the actors, and then the big guys, were all subconsciously stunned, and their hearts were shocked as if they had overcurrent.

"Bang, la, la!"

After coming back to his senses, the audience burst into warm applause.
