""Thunderstorm" is not the effort of one generation, it is accumulated by several generations. At the same time, it also develops with the times, adding our gradually changing understanding." Rearrangement director Gu Wei said.
The classics have been passed down from generation to generation and have also influenced generations of audiences.

Wang Ban, who is also the director of the rearrangement, believes that Mr. Cao Yu's great text, the creative method of human art realism and the way to shape characters Known for its fine traditions, this work has lasting vitality.
In recent years, with the iteration of the actors in the play, "Thunderstorm" has carried out the inheritance on the stage step by step.
Don't just act in a play, but play a person in a play, this is the director's request to the actors.
Gu Wei emphasized that people come first, and it is not a cliché to create vivid and profound characters. "Mr. Cao Yu wrote this play, which is very nationalized."
From Zhou Ping, who has played Zhou Ping for seventeen years, to Zhou Puyuan today, coupled with the rearrangement of the director's identity, Wang Ban said that he is now the head of the Zhou mansion and a classic "inheritor". The creative process requires everyone to calm down, the relationship between the characters must be well maintained, the overall rhythm must be beautiful, and the language must be accurate to restore the flavor of the era."

"This drama is getting more and more difficult." Zhang Pei, who plays Fanyi, said that "Thunderstorm" is not a simple emotional entanglement, but has a very profound connotation. In the process of participating in "Thunderstorm", she has been raising more questions about herself High requirements, "I always think, how can it be better. How long does it take to perform, and how long does it need to be adjusted? This is its charm."
"Mature actors have a rich understanding of life, and their grasp of roles shows their skills." Gu Wei said, while the new young actors, although they have a distance from the times, their awe of classics also makes people see the sincerity of creation .
The young actor Zhou Shuai who played the role of the young master Zhou Ping, after the previous stage test, has a more solid grasp of the character's heart, and interprets the cowardice and helplessness of the young master to make people more sympathetic.
Wu Yuchenning, who plays Sifeng, shows people with a pure and beautiful stage image, adding the tragic color of beautiful destruction.
In addition to working hard on the understanding of the characters, the creators are also repeatedly deliberating on every detail on the stage. For example, in the last scene of this round of performances, the location of the gunshot when Zhou Ping committed suicide was re-adjusted to make the audience sound It is more in line with the actual space in the play, and at the same time, sounds such as electric bells are added, which is more in line with the characteristics of the era in the play.
