actor return

Chapter 273
The plot of "Si Fan" is that the little nun Se Kong spends her days in the Xiantao Nunnery and cannot bear to be lonely. She misses the mortal life and escapes down the mountain.

And "Descent from the Mountain" mainly talks about a young monk who has no dharma title, who also suffered from the cold and lonely in the temple, and went down from Bitao Temple while his master was out.

Blended together, the two met on the way down the mountain, and then something happened, and then they developed feelings.

Because of this, it is called Shuangxiashan.

Because one came out of Xiantao Temple and the other came out of Bitao Temple, in Meng Hui's writing, they were called "escape".

And because they all have "peach", so they are also pronounced Taozhiyaoyao, which is extended to the "Taoyao" in the Book of Songs: peach blossoms, burning their flowers... It was originally a wedding poem, comparing peach blossoms to brides, expressing yearning for a better life.

In this way, it is also in line with the original intention of this drama. The same young nuns and monks pursue a better life. They were deviant at the time, but they dared to break the secular world, pursue freedom, and criticize the imprisonment of that kind of thought.

As for "Ten Days Talk", it depicts ten young men and women going out to play together. It is very interesting during the day, but very boring at night. Hundreds of stories are assembled into a Decameron.

"When we were still studying in Chinese opera, we were thinking about making some changes in the form of dialogue dramas all day long. You see, small theater dramas are actually called Experimental Theater in English, but the original meaning of the word is actually experimental theater. Then Sometimes we dare to arrange everything, and many times we don’t even have a script. We discussed the next plot and lines while arranging, and gradually developed a context, so for everyone, this is a very novel thing, and it is also Let's get more and more interested."

Ning Yuan knew that Meng Hui had a high degree of education, a serious master's degree.

At the beginning, he studied at Beijing Normal University as an undergraduate. During this period, he joined the Frog Experimental Troupe directed by his brother Mou Sen. After graduating in 86, he was assigned to the school as a teacher.

Even so, Meng Hui still did not give up on acting. In 87, the Frog Experimental Troupe staged the absurd drama "Rhinoceros" by the French playwright Ionesco. rhino.

This is Meng Hui's first time on the stage of a Chinese opera, and it is also the ape dung between him and the rhinoceros.

Because of this kind of experience, Meng Hui felt that he had found his own direction, so he decided to apply for Chinese opera at that time. In the second year, he got his wish and got the notice of postgraduate of the Department of Chinese Opera Directing.

It was from that time that Meng Hui's greatest enthusiasm for creation burst out, rehearsing new plays with his classmates without sleep or food.

"At that time, our most striking place was boldly breaking the boundaries between screenwriters, directors, and actors, focusing on collective creation and improvisation, and advocating the kind of performance that is "vigorous, skeptical, and rebellious." .”

"From 91 to 92, I formed a creative collective with more than a dozen drama fanatics in Chinese opera. My main task as a director was to inspire the actors to compose and improvise at the same time."

"At that time, among the actors were Hu Jun and his wife Lu Fang, as well as Xu Fan, He Bing, Chen Xiaoyi, Han Qing, Gong Lijun, Guo Tao, and the main creators such as Diao Yinan, Liao Mei, Zhang Yang, and Huo Xin. .”

Meng Hui sighed: "Now, they are all popular, but fortunately they haven't forgotten the drama, but most of them have gone to Renyi, only Liao Mei, Guo Tao and I came to our theater, it's a pity Guo Tao The boy is not honest."

"But when it comes to Si Fan, it was a classic that we collided with at the beginning. At that time, there was really no script. It was Lu Xiaopin who brought the script of Kunqu Opera "Down the Mountain". I recited it with them while revising and adding, and then improvised. In the end, Lu Xiaopin played the role of the little monk, and the little nun was played by Liu Tianchi."

Of course Ning Yuan knew about this version, the first version in 93. Although these two people are still unknown at the moment, they will become popular in different ways in the future.

At this moment, Lu Xiaopin has already acted in "I Love My Family", and also acted in Yingda's "Huaxia Restaurant", and his cooperation with Yingda has continued. Just this year, he was also cast by Yingda Investment, self-directed and acted in a "Networm Diary", starring in the protagonist, the heroine is Dai Lele, Yu Baimei's wife.

In fact, this play is a joint work of Yu Baimei and Ning Caishen. Among them, the second male and the third male are called by their names respectively, and the one who plays Yu Baimei...is Huang Jiaozhu.

In next year's "Northeast Family", Lu Xiaopin will play the son of the Niu family, the guy who always hangs on the mantra of "why is it always me who is unlucky".

As for Liu Tianchi, it will take more than ten years to become popular with her "roaring" teaching method in variety shows.However, her debut work was Zhang Yimou's "To Live" a few years ago, in which she played Fugui's daughter, the mute daughter Fengxia who died of dystocia in the end.

In fact, they are still capable, otherwise, no matter how good this "Si Fan" is, they will not be able to perform it effectively, and they will not be able to cause a sensation.

"During the rehearsal, one day I saw "Ten Days Talk", and I thought, why not add something new, so I started to process and rearrange..."

In the play, Meng Hui added two stories from "Ten Days Talk", one of which is the second story on the third day.

This story tells about a groom pretending to be the king and sleeping with the queen. The king found out about this and kept his face. He found out the groom that night and cut off a piece of his hair. Unexpectedly, the groom also cut off the hair of others. , thus escaping punishment.

The other is the sixth story of the ninth day, which tells the story of two young people who go out together and spend the night in a family's house.

One of the young men climbed into the bed of the master's daughter to hang out in the middle of the night, and the wife of the master mistakenly got into the bed of another young man; after the first man finished his work, he climbed into the bed of the girl's father by mistake, taking him as his companion , Tell him the fun just now.

At this time, there was a lot of noise, and the housewife, who had figured everything out, climbed onto her daughter's bed, covered it up with a few words, and calmed down the quarrel.

Absurd, seemingly bottomless chaos, but in the first story, Boccaccio mainly shows that the groom is no different from the king, and both have the right to pursue happiness.

And the second is to criticize everyone's unrestrained desire.

"One is pursuing, and the other is pursuing too much. When used in drama, what I want to express is that kind of balance. The pursuit of happiness is fine, but there needs to be a limit, otherwise it will not be beautiful, but chaotic."

Hearing what Ning Yuan said, Meng Hui's eyes lit up: "Hey, those who know me are Xiao Yuanzi!"

"roll!"
