This original revolutionary theme of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department and the Provincial Department of Cultural Traveling, produced by Jiangsu Provincial Performing Arts Group, and created by Jiangsu Province, has obtained a high evaluation in several seminars and publicly published comments in several seminars and publicly publications. Essence Experts and scholars from the theoretical world of opera agreed that the drama "Qu Qiubai" showed the charm of the artistic body of Kunqu opera on the basis of the highly unified artistic and ideological nature of the artistic and ideological nature, and also showed the spiritual connotation that met the needs of the times. Very meaningful revelation.

Zhong Chengxiang, vice chairman of the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Federations and famous literary critics:

"Qu Qiubai" is an important achievement of the modern theme of Kunqu opera. It is a "poetry drama" of classical Kunqus in modern themes. Its high spiritual, cultural connotation, and artistic value are all overjoyed. Its art and aesthetic taste, in the modern theme of drama, especially the number of red cultural works. The drama's script structure is exquisite and unique, and accurately grasps Qu Qiubai's life, thoughts, and spiritual realm. It is cleverly conceived, corresponding to the characteristics of Kunqu opera, and expressing classical opera forms poetically. It is a kind of aesthetic enjoyment. Qu Qiubai, played by Shi Xiaming, fits the appearance, and has a deep understanding of Qu Qiubai's spiritual world with a programming character. The artistic performance is in place. "Qu Qiubai" provides a universal reference significance for the current modern theme of the entire opera, that is, the creation of modern theme themes should echo the contemporary culture and coordinate with modern society.

Ji Guoping, president of the Chinese Modern Opera Research Association, vice chairman of the Chinese Drama Association and secretary of the party group:

I personally think that Qu Qiubai's artistic image on the stage of Kun opera is infinitely close to Qu Qiubai in life. This is a very real Qu Qiubai: he loves this world, and there is also a bottom line, never rebelled. "Specific words" is artistic creation, but it is even more reproducible. As the main line of the party's leadership, he is very distinctive, showing the personality style of a firm revolutionary. Director Zhang Manjun was very witty and hard work. The two scenes of black and white depict the day and night situations, and the projection of light and shadow is also very beautiful. From "Mei Lanfang · Mei Lang" to "Qu Qiubai", several modern dramas in Kun in Jiangsu Province have gradually changed people's prejudice against Kunqus in modern drama. This drama has made positive explorations for the development of the modern drama of Kunqu opera.

Original Dean of the Chinese Children's Art Theater Ouyang Yibing:

The surprise of the Kunqu "Qu Qiubai" is not only the bright, elegant, and gorgeous glory of Kunqu opera, but also shows the development of modernity to the artistic creation of drama. The play adopts the method of modern drama, combined with the traditional Kunqu performance system, expressing the pursuit of modernity and the excavation of human nature. Echoing and reality, conforming, and each other's methods, the focus of the overall structure has shifted from the continuation process of the expression incident to the exploration and survey of the noble feelings of Qu Qiubai's soul. In order to achieve the "carefully designed drama scenes, like the character's spiritual surface, seemed to see the subtle state of the characters, the essence of deep destiny, and the effect of infecting the audience while inducing their speculation".

Ma Ye, a senior researcher at the Institute of Opera Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art:

So far, "Qu Qiubai" is the best party history drama I have seen. In the revolutionary drama and new drama created by the new China for more than 70 years, this play is almost close to the real peak. The director includes dance music is very good, dance is empty, and the stage light is black and white with a line of red light in the middle. It is a very meticulous idea. This drama explores the depths of the spiritual world, explores the depth of human nature, and clearly returns to the essence of art. The actor's performance makes the audience enter the depths of the soul of the characters. Jiangsu Kunji Theater has made great contributions to Chinese opera culture. I hope that in the future, I can have the opportunity to conduct in -depth effects on the three modern dramas of "Mei Lanfang · Mei Lang", "Family River City" and "Qu Qiubai" in traditional Chinese culture and the prosperity of Kunqu art, the drama troupe, and the rapid improvement of the actors. Discussion. We must pay attention to the role of a drama, focus on the large market of drama history, and look at the large framework of the entire Chinese drama. This is the value of these three dramas.

Wang Ankui, Director of the Institute of Opera Research Institute of the Institute of Chinese Art Research: Wang Ankui:

The Kun opera "Qu Qiubai" has a very high ideological and artistic value. The most important thing about the drama is to reflect the party history of the new era. "Qu Qiubai" is not only a revolutionary historical drama, but also shows the cultural aesthetics in the traditional sense of Kunqu. In terms of the design of the clothing, "Qu Qiubai" is relatively realistic. Costumes and props are based on historical photos and other research, which not only conforms to historical facts, but also takes into account the stage aesthetics. This is very good.

Wang Renyuan, Honorary Chairman of the Jiangsu Drama Association, opera theorist:

Faced with the historical theme of the century -old revolutionary of the party, especially the writing of leaders and the dual challenges of Kunqu modern drama, the Kunqu opera "Qu Qiubai" handed out an outstanding answer sheet. This work has a distinctive character and new temperament. It can be successful. It is first thanks that the screenwriter provides an excellent script, followed by the director's artistic grasp of the entire stage. The stage of "Qu Qiubai" is beyond the significance of the work itself. Since modern times, Kunqu, as the most mature and exquisite opera drama in my country, has created many modern dramas, but it can be passed down very little, so that the opera industry subconsciously believes that Kunqu can not play modern drama. Several modern dramas in Jiangsu Province have been staged, which surprised to see that Kunqu's creation restricted area is being broken, establishing confidence in the creation of the Kunqu modern drama in the future, bringing experience for reference. Liu Xudong, a member of the party group, vice chairman, and secretary of the Secretariat of the Jiangsu Literary Federation:

In the drama "Qu Qiubai", the script conceived is exquisite, making people compete. From the script to the stage, the director's work is good. The dance of the play inherits the aesthetic tradition of the empty freezing of the traditional opera stage. The design is extremely concise. There is a table on both sides of the stage, a bed, one for the interrogation room, and the other is a prisoner. Two performance areas, freely switch time and space. There are giant white boards on each side of the stage to refer to the prison wall. The lighting design is ingenious, and a variety of projection is played to strengthen the stage effect. The combination of abstraction and concrete creates the beauty of Kunqu opera unique to "Qu Qiubai". After years of attempts of Kunqu opera, it has almost become the restricted area. But if a art can only express traditional tracks, it is difficult to obtain lasting vitality. The success of "Qu Qiubai" is the achievement of Kunyong in Jiangsu Province, accumulated over time, and a milestone for the creative transformation and innovative development of the art of Kun opera.

Director and researcher of the Institute of Opera Research Institute of China Art Research Institute:

The overall stage of the Kun opera "Qu Qiubai" is shocking. I feel particularly moved after reading it. In my opinion, its script is perfect, and when Zhang Manjun's team is putting the script onto the stage, it is not just a simply describing text, but also his own creation, surpassing Kunqu's own original subject technique, showing the presentation "The depth of the soul". In the interpretation of the drafts on the stage, a fixed mode presentation has been gradually formed, but the play has been new, and there is no obstacle to classical temperament and modernization.

Executive Vice President of the Chinese Opera Association and the former editor -in -chief of "Chinese Drama":

In the past two years, Kunjin, Jiangsu Province, successfully created the modern Kunqu "Kunjiang City", "Mei Yan" and "Qu Qiubai", which opened a new road for the modern drama of Kunqu opera, so that the ancient Kunqu opera has a new face. Kunqu "Qu Qiubai", combined, guided, acting, sound, beauty, five in one, can be called the masterpiece of great beauty! The screenwriter opened the inner world of Qiu Bai, so that the protagonist was fascinated by the cage, but his heart was full of heart. "Sending righteousness" is a climax of the whole drama. Qu Qiubai took off a white clothes and verified the positive body. He sat between heaven and earth. When he was sacrificed, he sent him away for him, solemn and romantic. In this scene, he made his righteousness with a calm and calm gesture, and completed the shaping of a noble soul of a Communist Party, which made the audience respectfully.

"Chinese Drama" magazine editor -in -chief Luo Song:

"Qu Qiubai" is presented in a large multi -scene drama. The main creative team finds the unique temperament of the protagonist and the fitting point of the drama. The traditional narrative and performance paradigm of red classics gives people a new and unique impression. Qu Qiubai's actor Shi Xiaming and Qu Qiubai are similar. The years of the Kunqu Turban Student performances have made the classical contemporary elegance and pure and indifferent temperament of Qu Qiubai. On the stage, he created a different kind of Communist who had a quiet and calm, weak appearance, and his heart. No wonder the director Zhang Manjun once said emotionally: "Shi Xiaming met with Qu Qiubai.

Wu Dandan, deputy editor -in -chief of the "Script" magazine:

The Kunqu opera "Qu Qiubai" is Luo Zhou, Zhang Manjun, Shi Xiaming, and the younger generation of the Kunlin Theater in Jiangsu Province, innovation in the scope of the director. The organic combination of tradition and innovation makes this play straight up to the sky. This work shows the characteristics of young, urban, modern, and humanities on the basis of classical art. Luo Zhou's text turned the fixed story into an emotional flow, while Director Zhang Manjun made the flowing emotion on the stage to achieve instant setting, allowing the audience to see the profoundness, vastness and vastness of this subject. The inheritance of the two teachers in Shi Xiaomei and Zhang Hong allowed the younger generation of Kunquan Kunquan in Jiangsu Province based on them, assumed a new mission in the new era, and also made the development of Kunqu art more prosperous.

Yan Quanyi, director and professor of the Department of Opera of Chinese Opera:

Respecting talents and respect for art is a very important reason for Jiangsu's opera. The repertoire of "Qu Qiubai" shows two self -confidence: the drama is self -confidence and the actor's confidence. From the perspective of the drama self -confidence, no matter what kind of subject matter is, as long as you grasp the creation laws of Kunqu and the techniques of Kunqu opera, you can be able to make Kunqu opera on the modern stage with a real development method. Actors' confidence lies in the courage to use the traditional Kunqu line to shape a new modern figure. The role of "Qu Qiubai" has a plump and layered personality. This is the character image of the actors shaped with face and flesh. This kind of drama is not recommended to make bigger changes in the script. What we see is its personality and its characteristics. Peng Wei, director and associate researcher of the National Peking Theater Creation Center:

"Qu Qiubai" drama is like its name, one person and one drama, the performance shows the outer and tight inside, the whole drama is not full of Taiwanese people, the whole scene is not seen, the editor, guide such as drainage, follow the trend, and follow the law. The soul is still existence, and the stage is empty and full of fullness and fullness. The crystallization of the collective wisdom of the outstanding stage creators of this episode of the episode is the continuation and expansion of the accumulation of classical opera paradigm skills. The drama has a positive response to the need for contemporary culture.
