China Central Broadcasting Network, Beijing, June 13 (Reporter Fan Rui) Recently, "Youth Never Ends - Meeting with Directors of No. 35 Middle School" was held on the playground of the "No. 35 Middle School" theater in the Dream City of Red Mansions. Only Wang Chaoge, the general concept, chief screenwriter, and chief director of the Dream of Red Mansions drama Fantasy City, told the "Youth Story" for the first time. She said that only the "35th Middle School" of the Dream of Red Mansions Fantasy City is the place where everyone's youth rests.
At the meeting, Wang Chaoge told the "youth story" for the first time. Her alma mater is Beijing No. 35 Middle School, and she built a theater full of youthful memories in the fantasy city where only Dream of Red Mansions plays, named "No. 35 Middle School."
"I want to build such a school. This school is not just Beijing No. 35 Middle School, nor is it just Wang Chaoge's alma mater. It should be everyone's alma mater and the place where everyone's youth rests." Wang Chaoge said No one can escape his youth, because it will come back countless times in his dreams and be awakened from time to time.

It is the graduation season recently. Wang Chaoge said that the graduating children walked out of the classroom, thinking at that time they would never come back, "and in the future , you must hope to meet your youth again. No matter how big the world is, no matter how good it is outside, it can all be unsealed from here, born from here, and met from here."
Only Dream of Red Mansions Drama City is a drama theme park located in Langfang City, Hebei Province. It has a total of 108 situational spaces and 21 immersive performances. Since its opening in July 2023, it has continued to attract tourists from home and abroad and has become a new cultural and artistic landmark in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Only the Dream of Red Mansions drama city is based on "Dream of Red Mansions", but there are neither Rongning Second Mansion, Grand View Garden, nor classic characters such as Baoyu and Daiyu traveling through the city. The creator focuses the spotlight on the broader "Dream of Red Mansions world", allowing stories about the readers of "Dream of Red Mansions" to be staged in different corners of the fantasy city, using Chinese aesthetics to tell the "Dream of Red Mansions" in people's hearts.
Wang Chaoge once said when interpreting the concept of creation that there are a thousand copies of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the hearts of a thousand people. People who read "Dream of Red Mansions" at different times, different places, different ages, and different situations will read "Dream of Red Mansions" differently. Reading "Dream of Red Mansions" itself will form a huge "Dream of Red Mansions".
According to the project team, the theater performance is based on the script of the wonderful story, making clever use of scientific and technological innovation elements such as sound, light, electricity, and water curtains, integrating poetry, dance, music, painting and other art forms, and through new scene installations The interplay of art and stage immersion technology tells the derivative story of "A Dream of Red Mansions" in a novel and creative way.
