【Rehearsal scene】
Spring in Peiping is indeed a warm spring.
[Commentary] The play currently being rehearsed is the play "Night of Fragrant Mountain" that Beijing Renyi has been polishing for a year. This play will represent Beijing and participate in the 17th "Wenhua Award" during the 13th China Arts Festival. ".
The Wenhua Award is the highest government award for professional stage arts in my country. In order to present a better stage effect, a week ago, the crew assembled a talent rehearsal hall and started a new round of polishing and upgrading.
[Explanation] "Night of Fragrant Mountain" was created in 2021, written by Li Baoqun and directed by Ren Ming.
The whole drama focuses on the important historical moment when the People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing on April 23, 1949. It takes Mao Zedong's inner activities in Xiangshan Shuangqing Villa as the main line, and introduces the inner activities of Chiang Kai-shek's residence in Xikou, Zhejiang at the same time. The characters are placed in the same theatrical scene, creating an artistic imagination of dialogue in space.
A comprehensive review of the party's history of the new democratic revolution, and a real sense of the original intention and mission of the Communist Party of China.

Why is it a play with an innovative artistic feature, because it makes the impossible possible and makes full use of the hypothetical stage.
From the screenwriter to the director, we used such a small to see the big, one table and two chairs to show, so it is very breakthrough in the art form.
[Explanation] The play has been staged 53 times since its debut at the Capital Theater last year.
After a year of polishing, the main creators have shown more accurate control of the characters and stronger confidence.

In fact, in our rehearsal, like many scientific problems, we solve problem by problem and think problem by problem.
When we recite Qinyuanchun on the stage, we usually think that it is time to recite Qinyuanchun, so we will recite it in a loud and beautiful voice. Suddenly, one day I feel that it is not right. This is not the state of Chairman Mao's recitation on the night of Xiangshan.
So I added some Hunan dialects and the context of the chairman, not in one go, but he was thinking and echoing the reality.
I think classics need to be polished. We always say that we should go deep into life and take root in the people.
I think this kind of communication between the grassroots tour and the audience is a process that gives me a lot of confidence.

Just like this Pu-erh tea is fermented, after aging and fermenting, it will undergo some changes, and there must be a process of deepening the understanding of this drama.
[Commentary] "Night of Fragrant Mountain" will be performed at the Handan Grand Theater in Hebei on August 28 and 29.
The creators said that they should present the best performance status to the Handan audience with awe.
