The drama "Teahouse" is an excellent work created by Mr. Lao She in another world, the language of this work is concise, the whole text is about 30,000 words, but the span is full of 50 years, there are many characters in it, each with its own characteristics, the material is from the old teahouse in Beijing, the Beijing dialect and Beijing flavor, the language is concise and expressive, it is really a rare work.

In fact, as far as the drama works of another world are concerned, there are many more famous than "Teahouse", such as "Cat", "Miss Saigon", "Les Miserables" and other works, which are much more famous than "Teahouse".

However, these are all works of the Western world, and even if they are modified, it is difficult to remove the information contained in Western culture, and besides, it is difficult to modify the works of famous artists, and the slightest change will reduce a lot of charm, but destroy the integrity of the work.

In Guo Dalu's eyes at this time, whether it is opera in the Eastern world or Eastern opera in the Western world, as long as it is an excellent literary work, he must pass it on as much as possible.

In the eyes of cultural porters, literary works have no borders, but all those who are excellent must move to this world, but they must pick a suitable time.

Just like this time the Kyoto Repertory Theatre came to him to ask for a script, the most suitable drama for the Kyoto Repertory Theatre can only be an oriental-style work, and in another world, among the oriental-style dramas, there are two most famous, one is "Teahouse" and the other is Thunderstorm.

And among the two, if you want to pick the most suitable work for the Kyoto Repertory Theatre, it can only be "Teahouse".

The appearance of a work must be at the right time, in the right place, in the right environment, Guo Dalu can never make a Les Miserables and throw it to the Kyoto Repertory Theatre, not to mention whether they can perform it, even if they can perform it, but who will watch it?

Therefore, I can only choose "Teahouse", not other works.

Another point is that Guo Dalu likes "Teahouse" better than "Thunderstorm", in terms of the dramatic tension between the two, the teahouse is slightly inferior to thunderstorms, but the state of life of the people at the bottom is incomparable to thunderstorms.

The picture of "Teahouse" is very strong, but the language is too concise, if you can't smack the taste well, it will be difficult to understand the words of the various characters in what psychological state, and the tone in the dialogue must also be in place, if this work is not well understood, it is extremely difficult to deduce.

On the contrary, the scenes and dialogues in "Thunderstorm" are easier to understand and grasp, so in terms of the difficulty of rehearsals in these two works, "Teahouse" is much more difficult than "Thunderstorm".

Because of this, in the drama world, the rehearsal of "Thunderstorm" can have several successful versions, but "Teahouse" is difficult to break through the shackles of the first version.

Two works, one is a high-ranking mansion, the other is a small teahouse where low-level people gather, what happens is also completely different, Guo Dalu is from the bottom of the people, and he naturally has a good impression of the works full of fireworks, and the story of the thunderstorm in the high-ranking family, Guo Dalu is extremely disliked.

For Guo Dalu, the story of "Thunderstorm" is too cruel, and this cruelty refers not to the cruelty of the dark side of society, nor the cruelty of how many people have died, but to a kind of ethical cruelty.

In Guo Dalu's concept of tragedy, he writes about suffering, darkness, humility and insignificance under the oppression of life, and the cruelty of real society, which can be written, and it is also a commonly used theme.

But why touch on ethical matters?

In the work Thunderstorm, Cao Yuzhong actually arranged for the half-brother Zhou Ping to have a relationship with Sifeng's brothers and sisters!

This kind of arrangement is too unacceptable, and Guo Dalu can't control other people's feelings, but as far as Guo Dalu himself is concerned, he hates this plot arrangement in the plot very much.

I like to eat stinky tofu, I like to eat stinky mandarin fish, because I like this smelly food, but you can't bring me a bowl of hot Xiang just because I like to eat stinky things!

Of course, this is just a personal preference, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the work, in fact, in terms of the intensity and explosiveness of the storyline, "Teahouse" is far inferior to Thunderstorm, but no matter how good "Thunderstorm" is, Guo Dalu doesn't like it!

Casually, even in terms of personal feelings, Guo Dalu is willing to take out "Teahouse" first, as for the drama "Thunderstorm", let's talk about it later!

Shao Hongqi, who got the script of the drama, naturally did not understand Guo Dalu's thoughts, but this did not affect his love and importance for the drama "Teahouse".

He is an old Kyoto native, and he has a very cordial sense of identification with the strong dialogue style of Beijing films in the script, and he also has complex emotions that he is very familiar with and misses for the concise and life-like language in it.

Even if Shao Hongqi is an old Kyoto native, even if he is in his fifties, he has never had the opportunity to see the kind of big teahouse described in the script, he has only heard about it from the mouths of the older generation, but he has never seen it, but this time, from this drama script, he has experienced what the teahouse in his imagination is like.

The day after getting the script, he copied several copies of the script and distributed it to the actors in the troupe, "Everyone take a good look, this is a drama written by Mr. Guo Dalu for our troupe, you should familiarize yourself with it first, and then let's focus on the image of the characters in the script, as well as the analysis and research of the background and personality of the characters. ”

"Listen, the props and layout have been written in this script, you guys, according to the scene described in this script, set up the stage, if you don't understand anything, then go to old photos or old video materials in Kyoto, look closely, and see how you can make suitable props." ”

"Three days later, Mr. Guo came to our group to guide us, you hurry up and read the script, if there are any questions you don't understand, let's focus on it and ask Mr. Guo for advice together. ”

A young female member exaggeratedly shouted: "No, teacher, Guo Dalu can also write dramas?" He does write well, and the poems are even better, but this has nothing to do with dramas, these are two art forms, Guo Ye will not even be able to cross over in cultural forms, right?"

Another young girl smiled and said: "Ding Lingling, don't underestimate Guo Ye, he doesn't have many cross-border crossovers? People can kill pigs, fight lawsuits, write, make TV movies, and they can act, sing, and be a musician...... Mom, how can Guo Dalu be so much?"

The young girl herself was taken aback by what she said, "I'll go, I said it's okay, but now that I think about it, I realize that Guo Ye is such a genius!"

She patted her little chest with a look of shock, "You say such a genius, why can't he write a drama?"

Ding Lingling snorted, "That's not necessarily! Drama is not comparable to other art forms, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, how many dramas have been handed down? There are a lot of writings, but how many have become famous? Not all of them have been performed for a few shows and then never performed again!"

Even though she said this, she still looked down at the script in her hand.

So, when Guo Dalu came to the repertory troupe, the first person to ask a question was Ding Lingling.
