"Suzhou is a beautiful city, giving people a quiet feeling."

"I have always felt that maybe Ximeng of that year has also been to Suzhou."

"This dance drama has no drama conflict, but it can click in the hearts of everyone in one bit, this is the power brought by culture ..."

Right now, the 4th China Suzhou Jiangnan Culture and Art · International Tourism Festival is in full swing. Today (September 9), on the occasion of the Mid -Autumn Festival, the dance poetry drama "Only Green and Green" of China Oriental Performing Arts Group will continue the front edge of Suzhou, shocking the exhibition in the beautiful Suzhou Bay Grand Theater.

On the eve of the performance, the three starring actors of "This Green and Green" starred in Meng Qingzhang, Zhang Han, and Xie Suhao. They were invited to be a live broadcast room of the "Suzhou Youpie", talked about the impression of Suzhou and the "green green" in their hearts.

Q: In fact, during the Jiangnan Culture and Art Festival last year, China Oriental Performing Arts Group's dance poetry drama "Only this green and green" came to Suzhou to perform. Three days of performances, all 4,500 tickets were sold out, and many viewers even brushed or even three brushes. Suzhou set off a "green wave". How do teachers feel like to perform in Suzhou? What kind of city do Suzhou do?

[Meng Qingzhang]: I came to Suzhou twice. In addition to the performance, I went to Tongli Ancient Town, Mingyue Bay, Xishan Island, cruise ships, watching the sunset, and also felt the power of nature. In my eyes, Suzhou is a beautiful city, which can give people a very comfortable and quiet feeling.

[Zhang Han]: I have always heard that there are ancient towns in Suzhou and small bridges. It is a beautiful city. After coming to Suzhou last time, I felt really well -known. After the tour last year, I have been looking forward to when I can come to Suzhou to perform again. Fortunately, we soon returned to the familiar Suzhou Bay. Every time I come here, I want to go out more, because there can be a lot of scenery here. On that day we went to Xishan Island to watch the sunset. The sunset westward, the lake was sparkling, and the shadow of the peak in the distance. At that moment, I felt that the scene in front of me was exactly the same as the "Thousands of Miles and Mountains", and I always felt that Ximeng should have come to Suzhou to pick the wind.

[Xie Suhao]: This time, when we come to Suzhou, our actors will be more relaxed and comfortable in mentality, because we have performed and polished for more than a year, and we have gradually matured the grasp and interpretation of works and characters. I came to Suzhou two days in advance, and coincided with our rest. I hope that after a little adjustment, it will bring a perfect performance to the audience of Suzhou.

Q: On the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year, "Thousands of Miles and Mountains" transformed into a dance poetry drama "Only Green and Green". In just 6 minutes, "Green Green Women's Skirt" was selected, so that "only this green and green" from offline to online, from the circle Inner fire to the circle. After the Spring Festival Gala, this surging popularity and response felt at that time?

[Meng Qingzhang]: It is the honor of our literary and art workers on a stage of a popular "only green and green" such as "only this green and green" such as "Only Green and Green".

Now, many young people have begun to pay attention to traditional culture and love traditional culture. This surging attention is because we think it is because we have a cultural resonance between us and the audience.

Q: After the Spring Festival Gala, I remember that Teacher Meng once said, "I have merged with green and green, and get closer to her." Can you share with us, do you run in with this character? How is the "green waist" on the screen of the screen practice?

[Meng Qingzhang]: Since March 2020, Zhang Han, Xie Suhao and I have almost completely gave up other work, and they are in immersive dance exercises every day. Because this dance drama and role are very precious for us, it is very lucky to receive a role that can be received very close to himself, which is inseparable from the two general directors Zhou Lia and Han Zhen, and all colleagues to us to us Trust.

To make a "green waist" action requires a strong waist and abdomen force. For a professional dancer, it is not difficult. The difficulty is to maintain the length of 4 8 shooting in the performance. This tests the dancer’s endurance Essence During that time, after the rehearsal during the day, I returned home at night. After I washed, I continued to train, and almost stopped stopping one night. I think the dancers are born to prepare the role. When you go into the role with all your efforts and unwillingness, the character will also give you a delicate change.

Q: Some people say that "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains" is painted with gemstone pigments, and it is not faded for thousands of years. Some people say that only because the painter is an eighteen -year -old boy, Wang Ximeng. Teacher Zhang Han, as the role of the role of Ximeng, what do you think? It is not easy for the audience to cross the thousands of years and understand the spiritual world of Ximeng. How did you explore your own way of interpretation?

[Zhang Han]: Because there were no film and television works and stage works before that, Wang Ximeng was performed. The official record of his formal records is only a short three -line word, which tells us the story of a eighteen -year -old teenager entered the palace middle school painting. Therefore, in order to better interpret this role, I started reading a lot of books on history and calligraphy and painting masters. Understand the background of the times and get some aspects of this character.

In addition to reading, I often "bubble" in the rehearsal hall, practicing day and night from morning to night, and communicating with the director and communication characters. In order to make myself closer to Wang Ximeng's state, I will put myself in the rehearsal hall for two hours after get off work. In order to feel the lonely state of Wang Ximeng's body, I even tried to copy the "Thousands of Miles and Mountains".

In these explorations, I felt that Wang Ximeng was a very tough boy. He had a lively sunshine side, but when he faced his paintings, he must be very rigorous and meticulous.

Q: For dancers, shaping every role is a "self -breakthrough" process. Teacher Xie Suhao, as the player of the "Show Ren" in the play, how did you slowly find the "green and green" deep in his heart?

[Xie Suhao]: At the beginning, we invited research librarians of the Painting and Calligraphy Department of the Palace Museum. It was also the curator Wang Zhongxu, the curator of the "Thousands of Miles -the Special Exhibition of the Green Landscape Painting of the past" in 2017. He is also the prototype of my role.

In order to feel his working status, we went to the Palace Museum to visit the place where Teacher Wang Zhongxu usually works. He also provided me with a lot of literature as a reference. At the same time, he often came to our unit to give lectures to all actors, telling his understanding and research on "Thousands of Miles and Mountains".

During the performance of "Only Green and Green", I was constantly thinking and learning, and I also got a lot of growth. There is also a better understanding of the character's inner explanation and expression. I hope that through the more mature performances of myself, the audience trusts me more. I am the exhibition.

Q: If you want to describe it, what kind of role will "only this green and green" be in your career and even life? What are the internal changes to you?

[Meng Qingyi]: Through the role of "green and green", I feel the power of culture and nature. It is the power of culture that makes my heart more peaceful and calm. At the age of thirty, I became strong but powerful.

[Zhang Han]: At my age, I can meet such an excellent work and play the role of a starring role. It is an affirmation of me and a accumulation of my future performance. Cooperate with such an excellent director and learn from them from them. I think it is very beautiful and satisfied. It can be said that except luck is luck.

[Xie Suhao]: "Only this green and green" brings me the most is the fearless courage to face the future. It not only brings us a growth and improvement in professionalism, but also has a comprehensive impact on culture and life.

Q: As a dance drama in the direction of traditional Chinese culture, the Chinese Oriental Performing Arts Group's dance poetry drama "Only this Green and Green" successfully "out of the circle" on the Spring Festival Gala stage, which has set off a wave of Oriental aesthetics around the world. Tradition Culture is glory. What do teachers think of this "cultural heat"? What is the reason why "only this green and green" is so much influence at home and abroad?

[Meng Qingyi]: Traditional culture flows in the blood of each of us. Although there is no drama conflict in "This Green and Green", it can click on the hearts of everyone in one bit. This is the power brought by culture and why everyone loves it. When you quietly watch the "Thousands of Miles and Mountains", it can be a craft, which can linage the ingenious soul of the ancients. When it is presented on the stage, we will pay tribute to the creators and inheritors of traditional culture in the way of literary and art workers.

[Zhang Han]: I am a folk dance in the Chinese nation, and I like Chinese traditional culture very much. In my opinion, inheriting the traditional Chinese culture is the responsibility of our generation. Therefore, we will try our best to make the characters and dance best, so that everyone who entered the theater to enter the theater still has a taste. Feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture.

[Xie Suhao]: When I play the role of "Zhan Tuer", I am not only the series of stories, but I also hope that everyone will pay attention to many contemporary literary researchers and craftsmen through this role. "Only this green and green" is the most powerful mood of "silent at this time", which can make the audience feel the power of simple, persistence and persistence, so that everyone should not forget the traditional Chinese culture and their cultural roots. Q: The work is expressed in deeply, and the audience will eventually need to enter the theater to experience it. Will meet with the audience friends in Suzhou at the Mid -Autumn Festival. What is the mood at this moment? Do you want to tell Suzhou audiences?

[Meng Qingzhang]: On the occasion of the Mid -Autumn Festival, meeting with everyone in the theater is a very beautiful thing. I also hope that everyone will enter the theater more and watch "Only this green".

[Zhang Han]: I am looking forward to the second meeting with the Suzhou audience tomorrow. This time I will welcome every audience with a new state and full enthusiasm, see us the theater!

[Xie Suhao]: Happy Mid -Autumn Festival! I hope that everyone can walk into the theater to watch our "This Green and Green", and we will present the shock and different movement of everyone's beauty.
