"Teacher Mo Yan created this historical drama with a modern spirit, and we interpret his works with a more modern spirit. We hope to bring another ray of 'spring breeze' to the drama stage at the end of the year and the beginning of the year." On December 1st, at the media conference for the new work 'Farewell My Concubine' at the Beijing People's Art Theatre, Feng Yuanzheng, the dean of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, said. This small theater drama, written by Mo Yan, directed by Lin Cong, and starring Sun Yilin, Lu Lu, Wang Junqi, Zhang Hansheng, Wei Jiacheng, and others, will be the New Year's Eve work of the Beijing International Theatre Center and will be staged at the People's Art Theatre on December 20th. "Farewell My Concubine" is another play written by writer Mo Yan on the Beijing People's Art Theatre, following "Our Jing Ke". At the beginning of the establishment of the production team, Mo Yan specifically came to the People's Art Theatre to give lectures to young actors, communicate creative ideas with the director, and specially polished the script for this production. At the press conference, Mo Yan expressed in a specially sent video that "I believe the second creation of Beijing People's Art Theatre will definitely bring new ideas to this play." "Farewell My Concubine" was first created in 1997, using the classical story structure of characters such as Xiang Yu, Yu Ji, and Lv Zhi, telling a story about human self-awareness and choices. This drama is different from traditional historical dramas. The poetic language, imaginative character portrayal, and novel dramatic structure in the work carry the distinct style of the author Mo Yan, and also provide space and challenges for stage presentation. In the opinion of director Lin Cong, "Teacher Mo Yan simply borrowed a familiar historical story background and constructed character relationships to explore a troubling problem. This play uses a contemporary perspective." "We are not telling a historical story, not about the emotional entanglement of three people, but about the individual's own struggles and struggles, understanding and choices, troubles and solutions." As Mo Yan said, "Actually, all dramas are historical dramas." ", "All historical dramas are modern dramas." "What we portray in dramas is people." Lin Cong said that Mo Yan's works are best at depicting people. This profound understanding of people has given his works a "pioneering nature" from their inception to the present. As a female director, Lin Cong examines the different aspects of the two female characters in the play from a more delicate perspective, thus giving the work a new interpretation. "We are trying to push the two female characters in the drama to a higher position. Lv Zhi's bravery and determination, as well as Yu Ji's pursuit of ideals, are different aspects of women that we want to extract. At the same time, the positioning of the dominant Xiang Yu will also differ from the audience's habitual cognition." As another youthful work of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, Sun Yilin, Lu Lu, Wang Junqi, Zhang Hansheng During the rehearsal, several actors, Wei Jiacheng, not only brought vibrant and rich imagination to the work, but also constantly helped opponents find the best expression together. It is reported that the director and actors of the play are based on realism and find modern language forms from the poetic expression of the work. At the same time, the creators boldly innovate in stage presentation, leveraging the stage conditions of small theaters, blending performance areas and audience seats, incorporating the audience into it, establishing a new viewing relationship, and achieving co creation with the audience. Lin Cong said, "We hope to integrate the audience and bring them in."
