When I entered the student class, our first semester report, Mr. Cao Yu, was an old man and an old artist who was particularly good at encouraging young people.
The same is true for Cao Yu Theater. Its birth and its name is Cao Yu Theater. In fact, we pay tribute to Mr. Cao Yu, because after all, Beijing Renyi does not have Mr. Cao Yu, and may not be what Beijing Renyi is today.
[Explanation] "Sunrise" is one of Mr. Cao Yu's masterpieces, and it is also a classic play of Beijing People's Art.
The play exposes the darkness and despair of an era by describing the fate of the social flower Chen Bailu and the living conditions of the people in the bottom society at that time.
For the new row of "Sunrise", director Feng Yuanzheng chose to use young actors to perform.
In his opinion, although this is a bit "risky", it is also a kind of courage.

The new theater, the new "Sunrise", then (just use) the new generation of actors.
So from the current point of view, although I thought it was a bit risky at the time, but fortunately, because I have years of teaching experience outside, I said that I should be able to adjust them to a certain extent.
Our (young actor) Lu Lu was born in 1997, so she is very young. You want her to experience the profound life experience of Chen Bailu, but there is actually a certain degree of difficulty.
Then rely on various methods to make her feel.
When rehearsing in the past two days, I already feel that they have begun to change and have begun to mature.
They have already begun to have certain thoughts on the stage, not simply memorizing lines and completing actions.
[Commentary] Lu Lu, a post-95 actor named by Feng Yuanzheng, entered the theater in 2019.
This time, she played the role of Chen Bailu in the play.
Talking about the feelings of participating in the performance, Lu Lu said frankly that her experience is still relatively shallow, and how to understand and interpret the characters is a big challenge.

I think experience is indeed a big obstacle.
Because Chen Bailu is a well-versed person, she has experienced a lot, married and gave birth to children, including how to walk among all kinds of men.
You can understand, but there will be some deviations in what you really experience, and the feeling is not so real.
Therefore, I constantly need to tell me some of his experiences or what he saw through, for example, the Yuanzheng teacher, including when I went to watch some film and television works or novels, to find similar situations in it, and then to learn from, and then turn it into myself. .
[Explanation] At the same time, as a young actor, Lu Lu also gave the role a new look.

I am young, and then I will add something more innocent, or a bit more naughty and lively, in that character.
Because Chen Bailu included the previous part, including the section where she saw Shuang, in fact, Chen Bailu's heart is still very pure and pure, and there is a state of living with a little girl, so I will grasp this point and then show it.
[Explanation] The play will be officially opened on August 24, and there will be 7 performances from September 2 to September 9.
The audience will see the new theater, the new "Sunrise" and the new generation of new collisions, and feel the charm of the classics of Beijing People's Art.
