Lai Shengchuan, He Jiong and Duo Duo "Book of Water" The premiere of the high-definition drama video version of the three-person collaboration drama Huang Lei and the crew of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" watch the movie

　　A drama "The Book of Water" with a strong philosophical color of Lai Shengchuan, led by He Jiong and featured by Huang Yici (Huang Lei's daughter), will be premiered on October 23 at the Tianqiao Art Center.

Lai Shengchuan, He Jiong, Duo Duo (Huang Yici), Ding Naizhu and others shared their shooting experience on stage, while Huang Lei and the crew of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" were helping out, as if the party at the Wuzhen Theater Festival, which was closed due to the epidemic this year, was back.

"HD Theater Scene" Let Lai Shengchuan

　　Convince yourself to give up Broadway's law

　　Guided by the trend of high-definition drama images from the National Theatre of England, the first work of "Theatre Above Live" (TA Live), "Book of Water" came into being.

This Lai Shengchuan was created in 2009, re-edited in 2016, and recorded in Shanghai Theater in July 2018.

　　The premiere was also the first time Lai Shengchuan, He Jiong, Duo Duo and others saw this work on the big screen. Compared to Lai Shengchuan and He Jiong’s worries, the little girl Duo Duo was the most calm. Just like her role in the play, she is full of the world. Unknown, but sure about the future.

During the screening, He Jiong's ease of rewinding, a lot of innocence and beauty, were all enlarged on the big screen.

After the screening, the audience still didn't leave the show. He Jiong's "Thank you everyone" brought everyone back to reality.

　　It is reported that the concept of "HD Theater Live" has gradually flourished in Europe and the United States after entering the 21st century. The NT Live series that has been introduced into China is currently its most famous series.

It selects the most high-quality works on the world stage today, uses multi-camera viewfinder filming, broadcasts high-definition live broadcasts to theaters and theaters around the world via satellites, or uses digital copy and other media for loop recording and playback.

The opening of "TA LIVE" will allow the excellent stage plays of TA LIVE to be free from time and geographical constraints, reach more audiences at a lower price, and let people know about the theater, fall in love with the theater, and finally go. Enter the theater, and this is the reason Lai Shengchuan was finally persuaded.

　　From 2009, when Lai Shengchuan was invited by the Hong Kong Repertory Company to create "Book of Water" to explore and reflect on the ways and meaning of the happiness of life, to re-editing the script, changing the protagonist’s gender, and leading the first performance in Shanghai theater led by He Jiong until 2018. Joined to star in the mysterious little girl "Shui'er" in the play, and in 2020, the discussion of "happiness" and "life" will continue to happen on the big screen... After more than ten years, the work is finally complete.

　　From seeing the dramas and films of the British National Theatre and gradually agreeing that the form of "theatre live video" is established in aesthetics, Lai Shengchuan finally persuaded himself to abandon the Broadway law that he has always agreed with-the movie will only be made if the play is not performed.

　He Jiong's only worry is

　　On the big screen will become an emoji

　　The filming of "Book in the Water" was carried out in three days, with eight cameras simultaneously capturing, but the previous rehearsal and two performances were watched on the spot by the filming team, and the audience's seats would not be sacrificed because of the cameras. Rocker, just like a normal performance.

When editing, Lai Shengchuan only went to see the scene of the editing while passing through London, and gave a few comments, which was completely handed over to the filming team.

　　He Jiong said: "This play was only recorded after three years of touring. Maybe this is the best time. And during the shooting, Mr. Lai told us that we must ignore the camera and let the technology serve the theater instead of accommodating the camera. So I have no worries about adjusting the performance range. The only thing I worry about is that I may become an emoji on the big screen." More than 400 shows of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" gave He Jiong theater people's confidence, and he himself also called it in college. He made his debut with a small drama, and later became a host on TV.

"The stage is a place I am accustomed to, and I am familiar with and like it, so I readily accept the high-definition video recording method that respects stage performances."

　　He Jiong and Lai Shengchuan have parted in Wuzhen last year. This is their reunion a year later. Lai Shengchuan uses "It's like a year that disappeared" to describe 2020. "We will return to Taiwan at the end of January to celebrate the New Year, and come back from winter to summer." .

If there were no epidemics, He Jiong would have started the performance of "Book of Water" in Macau in September, and the tour of "Secret Love" across the country in November.

"Because of the epidemic, everyone has a chance to settle, and this is really the first time I sit down and watch myself acting. I will do whatever Teacher Lai asks me to do, and I will not ask why, but In the process of doing it, I will gradually realize what Teacher Lai is going to do. Just like when the "Book of Water" was created, Teacher Lai said that I was invited to perform a play. There was no script and it was not a comedy. I agreed at the time. I know Teacher Lai will definitely write a role that suits me but is not mine, but at that time I didn't know what kind of relationship I had with Heshi in the play, and there was even a little separation in that process. This video version I haven't asked Lai why, but I know the significance of doing this. People who do experiments must believe in themselves. Maybe they will change the drama, but they will never affect the stage."

　　The filming two years ago, and the big screen at the end of this year, seems to be launched in the first year when the epidemic changed from offline to online.

At present, both He Jiong and Lai Shengchuan have been notified by Huang Lei that they are about to participate in a variety show "Drama New Life" planned by Huang Lei.

　A lot of first lines come out

　　Let Dao Lai feel right

　　It was not until the premiere of the drama film that He Jiong and Teacher Lai knew a little secret in Duoduo's heart: they were taken by their parents to the backstage of "Peach Blossom Spring" at the age of 1 and a half. Later, they were able to blurt out the lines of almost every character, and she kept thinking about it. I have a small wish, that is, if there is a chance to act in a drama, then the first drama must be "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring".

Until her father asked her if she would be willing to participate in "Book of Water", she began to refuse, and then thought about it. If she would have to wait for many years to play "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", she agreed to play the role of "Water".

　　The shooting of the 2018 video now seems to be a good time. He Jiong said: "If you don't shoot that year, Duoduo will soon be taller than me, so that I can't be trusted to play her brother again."

　　Before the first performance of the play, Duoduo described that he was so nervous that his heart had reached his throat, but after speaking the first line, he was relieved.

However, the moment she forgot the word during the rehearsal still remembers it to this day: "I was sitting on the wooden horse and suddenly forgot the word. At that time, I felt that I watched Xiao He Jiong for an hour and I was really scared at that moment." But He Jiong In fact, it was only 2 seconds, and then they quickly adjusted it and said the following lines directly.

　　Watching "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" from a young age, Lai Shengchuan watched and grew up greatly, and a lot of them have a synesthetic understanding of Lai Shengchuan's philosophy, which seems to be out of her age.

Lai Shengchuan said: "Before Duoduo,'Shui'er' was performed by adults, but when a real child came to perform, the feeling of a mouth was right. If I meet another child, I might not know how to explain it. She understands the role of'Shui'er' without any explanation."

　　For a long time, it was her mother who accompany her to speak, but she actually memorized all the lines when she came to the crew.

He Jiong said: "Duo Duo's first line came out, and I felt like I was electrocuted. She grew up in my arms. I'm afraid she can't accept the tragic life of the characters in the play, but she is the calmest on stage. That one. Duo Duo is a magical baby. She doesn’t want to eat or drink on the set. She is a very disciplined child. She rarely shows the naughty of her child and is very polite. I remember that once the performance was over, she said goodbye to everyone Thank you, but I cried when I got in the car. Although she was reluctant to let everyone else, she would not show it to make others sad. Although she is very young, she already has a lot of responsibility."
