Before the performance began, the male and female protagonists Xu Chao and Zhou Lu were interviewed by cover news reporters and shared their unique insights into this work and performance experience.

Sichuan Opera "Turandot of China" is based on the Italian opera "Turandot", adapted and created by the late famous playwright Wei Minglun, and directed by the late famous theater director Xie Pingan. It is a Chinese story imagined by foreigners and re-created by the Chinese foreign legends. This performance is directed by Shen Tiemei, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Drama Association, Chairman of the Chongqing Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Director of the Chongqing Sichuan Theater, and winner of the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award "Three Degrees of Plum". Sun Yongbo, the Plum Blossom Award winner, serves as the instructor. Zhou Lu, Xu Super star.

In the play, the Chinese princess Duranduo (played by Zhou Lu), who is as beautiful as a peach and as cold as ice, has hated men's dirty things since she was a child. She posed three difficult questions to the suitors. If they answered correctly, they would be married, and if they failed, they would be beheaded. The prince of Jinling and the desert stranger were the first to propose marriage proposals, but they were defeated and went to the execution ground. In order to pursue Hua Zhongjiao and Yue Li'e, the world-famous nymphomaniac Wu Mingshi (played by Xu Chao), despite the dissuasion of the fire girl Liu'er, went to Beijing in a boat with a sword on his back, announced the proposal, and used his wisdom to overcome the first two problems. Liu'er, who cares about her brother, is worried about the good or bad fortune of the nameless person. She travels all the way to Kyoto, but inadvertently becomes the one who determines the good or bad fortune of the nameless person. Facing Turanduo's intimidation, Liu Er resolutely drew his sword and committed suicide for the sake of his brother's safety. This deep love and righteousness made Wumingshi realize that the most beautiful girl was right next to him. It also gave Durando an enlightenment and a thorough understanding of life.

"Turandot" is undoubtedly a very challenging role. Zhou Lu, an actor from Chongqing Sichuan Theater who started studying drama at the age of 14 and took on the starring role in 2012, has a full understanding of "Turandot". "Turandot is a proud, beautiful and extremely intelligent princess. Her eyes must be raised when she looks at people. Although she is arrogant, she is very weak in her heart. She longs for someone who can understand her. Princess Turandot Using three test questions to test the suitors seems to be embarrassing them, but in fact it is a defense of one's own value and the fear of unknown love. "This contrast between arrogance and weakness makes Turandot's image more three-dimensional and vivid.

However, it is not easy to accurately grasp the inner world of Turandot. Zhou Lu said: "The most difficult thing to grasp is the inner change of the princess after she is moved by the unknown. We need to express this change through specific singing and movements. We need to find a balance between coldness and tenderness."

and Dulan Duo's arrogance is in sharp contrast to Anonymous's arrogance and aloofness. Xu Chao, who plays Anonymous Doe, shared his unique interpretation of this character in an interview: "This is a conceited and noble character who has his own pursuit of beauty." However, as the plot develops, the audience will find that Anonymous Doe is In the process of pursuing "beauty", he gradually lost himself and ignored the girl Liu'er beside him who had feelings for him that transcended the relationship between brother and sister. "But in the end, he will suddenly realize that the beauty of nature and the beauty of the soul is the beauty of goodness." This is also the connotation Xu Chao wants to convey to the audience through his character.
