The blueprint is to build a cultural theater with its own national characteristics, forming a unique style and theoretical system, and a world -renowned cultural a theater.

How to build a drama art and drama system that conforms to the appetite of Chinese people on the Chinese stage?

Over the past 70 years, a generation of artists of Beijing Renyi has been diligently formed, and has formed a drama genre with distinctive artistic characteristics with the accumulation of long -term artistic practice and aesthetic theory. The spirit of art creation has established Beijing's unique position in the field of Chinese drama.

Starting from the "Dragon Sutra" at the beginning of the establishment of the court, under the high standards and strict requirements of "deep life foundation, profound inner experience, distinctive character image", Beijing Renyi created "Tea House" and "Thunderstorm" A number of classic drama works such as "Cai Wenji" have the feelings of compassion and compassion, the sharpness of the world, thorough analysis and sharp profoundness. These dramatic classics not only bloom on the stage of art, but also treasure in the history of Chinese drama forever, marking the innovative level and artistic height of Chinese dramas in different periods.

In 1954, the crew of "Thunderstorm" took a group photo.

"The formation of Beijing Renyi Performance Style is important to attach importance to the accumulation of profound life." As the first batch of actors at the beginning of the Beijing Renrenyi Institute, Beijing Renyi Performance and Director and Artist Lan Tianye said.

"You perform, don't float there, the most taboo and false work. Your play is to fall to the ground." "You all learn how to perform. In fact, one is more important than the performance method, one is cultural accomplishment, and the other is the accumulation of life. Even life accumulation is more important "... This is the words of Lan Tianye often taught the younger generations, and it is also the requirements of Beijing Renyi for several generations of actors.

In this hall of art, there is a "drama bigger than heaven" that has been constant for 70 years, and it has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of every art actor. Gong Lijun, an actor who has shaped many classic characters, was the youngest "Yiyi" in "Thunderstorm". The old gentleman never left, and their souls are always there. "

The spirit of "a dish" is also the artistic spirit inherited by Beijing Renyi from the beginning of the establishment of the hospital. "A dish" not only has green leaves, but also gangs, but also roots, so that it is a complete dish. The same is true of a play, no one is missing. Therefore, Beijing Renyi has no celebrities and is an actor. Only small actors, no small characters.

On the stage of Beijing Renyi, many outstanding characters are just small characters. The drama performance artist Huang Zongluo is famous for its supporting role. The "Song Erye" in "Tea House" is so far. Although actor He Bing often starred in film and television dramas, as long as he was staged "Tea House", "Liu Masaki" and "Little Liu Mazi" still played great.

"Beijing Renyi calendar has adhered to fine products and talents. Especially in talent training, generations of artists, born from the art hall of Beijing Renyi, were born from the art hall of Beijing. The place where you are proud of, "said Feng Yuanzheng, deputy dean of Beijing Renyi. In his opinion, the "magic weapon" of Beijing Renyi cultivating talents is to adhering to the fine tradition of the older generation of artists, and fundamentally inheriting the acting style and artistic spirit of Beijing Renyi.
