Zhejiang News Client reporter Lu Yao

The Vietnam drama "Maple Leaf Ruhua" won the Wenhua Award. It's too difficult to get this award. The last time he won the honor for Zhejiang, or "Gongsun Capital", which was founded by the Zhejiang Kun opera group 15 years ago.

Why can "Maple Leaf Like a Flower" this time?

It is an Yue drama, but it is not so much like a traditional Vietnamese drama. In fact, this show surprised many senior audiences: it actually tells the story of a hidden front on the stage of the Yue opera. It actually played on the stage, and actually adopted a combination of men and women.

Luo Song, editor -in -chief of "Chinese Drama" magazine, commented that the art exploration of the Vietnamese drama "Maple Leaf Like Flowers" was remarkable and was self -contained in the theme of the drama.

At present, literary and artistic creation is facing a peak of the plateau, which is particularly valuable.

The main theme is even more emotional

"Maple Leaf Like Flower" is first of all a main theme opera, which uses countless details to accumulate full and lofty emotions.

The prototype of the heroine Hua Feng in the play is "Red Female Agent" and Zhu Feng, a Ningbo female martyr. She is an outstanding hero of our party's hidden front. She was arrested in Taiwan in 1950 and sacrificed.

"Maple Leaf Like Flowers" started with the heroine of the national revolutionary victory.

"Today, how do you understand Zhu Feng's choice?" Wang Binmei, who played the heroine, repeatedly told her understanding of Zhu Feng in every paragraph. She dedicated to Zhu Feng's hometown of the town and found inspiration, and strived to recognize Zhu Feng, who was more realistic from her growth environment.

"She is a novice agent, and her eyes are a little bit embarrassing. She is another businessman who has dealt with high social social for a long time. She has skilled social skills." Hua Feng created by Wang Binmei is not a "omnipotent" hero. Essence The scene with General Zhong Shi's connection, the experienced Zhong Shi deliberately bypass the secret sign and test Hua Feng at the beginning, and found that Hua Feng, who did not have a secret sign, was very nervous, although he responded to his words. When Zhong Shi finally met the "red vine", Wang Binmei designed a great and complicated mood for Huafeng's movement and then move forward.

Huafeng appeared at the Makhangcho execution ground. The dark green crushing cheongsam was restored according to the photos of martyr Zhu Feng. The clothing design Lan Ling was found to find a suitable fabric in color. After the printing and dyeing pattern, she returned three times, and finally achieved satisfactory results.

This is Zhu Feng's favorite clothes during her lifetime. She had completed the intelligence transfer task and sent a letter to her family before the arrest. The letter wrote that "the phoenix will return within the month". In the end, chose to be in this cheongsam calmness.

The screenwriter Wang Hong said frankly that the story of a thrilling and ups and downs of the screenwriter is not his purpose of creating this drama. This time he wants to depict the story about "people" -a life choice of a female Communist Party member.

The reason why "Maple Leaf Like Flowers" attracts people is precisely because of choosing the right story and telling the story.

Centennial Yue drama can be innovative

Yue Opera has been in a century and has had many glorious moments.

At the same time, people have many potential definitions. Thinking of Yue drama, people first think of beautiful love and lyrical tunes.

At the beginning of the creation, director Yang Xiaoqing decisively proposed that this work should try to remove fat powder as much as possible. Such a serious theme of the history of the party and the military is unprecedented in the history of the Yue opera, and it must be presented in a breakthrough way.

The co -performance of men and women is a major feature of the Zhejiang Yue Theater before the merger. "Maple Leaf Like Flowers" has both the lyrical and softness of the female voice, but also the magnificent mountains and rivers of the actor.

Starring Wang Binmei and Hua Weiqiang are both powerful actors, especially when Hua Feng refuted Gu Xianwen's persuasion in the form of Allegro and stacked plates, and the powerful singing and "cold" processing performances made this interrogation play a complete show. The wonderful confrontation of the evil.

"As soon as you board the ship to cross the life and death world, the return is British soul." Liu Xinglin designed Liu Xinglin. He designed a huge diagonal diagonal frame on the stage to create a multi -meaning liquid space. This space can be based on it. The plot is freely converted between the delicate focus and the grand presentation, giving the director and the actor in full artistic space.

The theme of "Maple Leaf Like Flowers" has no precedent in Yue Opera. The story is not the lyrical aesthetic pursuit of Yue opera, and the stage is not the "one table and two chairs" of traditional opera.

This stage, this story, does not seem to be "Yue drama", but reveals the charm of Yue drama everywhere.

Cao Lin, president of the Chinese Stage Art Society and professor at the Shanghai Academy of Drama, believes that behind the seemingly simple and empty stage, the creators trace down from the depths of the traditional space, the use of suspension devices and turns, which not only enhances the space that has enhanced the space The movement of the flow is actually a contemporary interpretation of the aesthetic spirit of "one table and two chairs".

"Maple Leaf Like Flowers" reminds that there is huge space in traditional opera to explore. Just like in this drama, the romance and beauty of Yue Opera genes, sublimated into the exploration of faith, the lyrical and euphemistic of Yue opera shows the grandness of the loyalty of the tiger acupoint.

Put the audience first
