  We have been brewing since 2020, including the main creative staff to gather around the head, and the search for materials in all aspects started last year.

  On the one hand, "The Bride Surrounded by the Head" is able to dig out some of our own rich artistic assets, and then according to the director's requirements, for example, "new" has roots, and in novelty we can find our roots. , The traditional root vein.

So on the one hand, we are pursuing, such as our stage style, our actor performance, our costume show, etc. We all have some new ideas.

But our performance is to activate it in the elements of this traditional Gaojia drama.

  [Explanation] It is understood that the newly edited Gao Jia opera "The Bride Surrounding Head" was created by Quanzhou Gao Jia Opera Inheritance Center. The Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award winner Chen Juanjuan and her lover and the national second-class actor Chen Qingyu starred, Zheng Tianlong, A large number of powerful actors such as Ye Jianguo and Huang Guangrong co-starred.

  Costume dramas have a lot of stylized things, and they are more freehand, more aesthetic, and pictures. Modern dramas tend to be more life-like things, and they cannot contain too many stylized things.

Because after too many stylized things are in, people will jump into the show, and he will not have that kind of empathy.

Modern drama is to be more empathetic, to have something more direct with the audience that resonates with them, and then to change more in the body.

Then it is quite challenging.

  [Explanation] In Weitou Village, Jinjing Town, Jinjiang City, Fujian Province, the closest place on the mainland to Jinmen, this small fishing village of less than 3 square kilometers once dropped more than 50,000 shells, hence the name "The First Village of Strait Artillery Battle" ".

After the publication of the "Report to Compatriots in Taiwan" in 1979, with the resumption of cross-strait exchanges, the geographical relationship changed and the business relationship led to the marriage relationship. Now Weitou Village has become the "first cross-strait intermarriage village" with hundreds of couples on both sides of the strait. One by one, "enemies become in-laws" marriage tales.
