On the evening of November 15, the National Theater of China’s premiere at the Qintai Grand Theater in Wuhan came to a successful conclusion. Liu Jinshan, Tao Hong and a group of talented actors gave a wonderful performance, which attracted rave reviews from the audience - "It is worthy of being China's top performance The overall level of the theater troupe is so high! "The line skills are great!"

"Four Generations Under One Roof" is Mr. Lao She's most important novel. It reflects the different fates of the people in Xiaoyangquan Hutong, Xicheng, Beijing, especially the Qi family, the Guan family, and the Qian family. The world in the occupied areas of Peiping during the Anti-Japanese War.

compressed the original work of 850,000 words into a drama script of 20,000 to 30,000 words, which was an "impossible task" completed by director Tian Qinxin . The whole play is divided into three acts: "Confusion", "Stealing Life" and "Famine". In the 3-hour duration, it selects as many dramatic passages as possible from this "civilian epic" written by Lao She, and uses stage effects to depict the inner and outer courtyards of Hutong homes. Artfully presented to the audience.

Tao Hong plays the role of "Fat Juzi", the second granddaughter-in-law of the Qi family. She is the most colorful female "villain" in Lao She's works. Wearing an exaggerated and gorgeous cheongsam, with "chicken coop" curly hair on top of her head like a charterer, throwing "peach blossom eyes", twisting the waist of a bucket, and shouting loudly, she is in contrast to the film and television image of Tao Hong Very big.

In this overall slightly depressing drama, Tao Hong's accurate handling of "Fat Chrysanthemum" made the atmosphere in the drama lively. Tao Hong told reporters that 14 years ago, when director Tian Qinxin told her to play the role of "Fat Juzi", she had just given birth. "I was quite unexpected."

On the stage, when the "Fat Juzi" played by Tao Hong first appeared, some audience members in the audience were surprised, "Is this Tao Hong? I can't recognize it at all!"

Tao Hong said with a smile that she had played all the characters in film and television dramas before. She is a kind-hearted little girl or a virtuous woman, but the stage play gives her more opportunities to create. For example, the role of "Fat Juzi" is an image that is very far from her. "This is a special character." This is a rare opportunity. If I acted in a film or television drama, no one would come to me to play such a role, because this face is not suitable. But on the stage, I can create a completely different character through body, voice and language. He has a different role and breaks the stereotype of the past."

There are many characters in "Four Generations Under One Roof", and the fate of the people in the play is even more ups and downs. In addition to the "Fat Chrysanthemum" of the Qi family, the vivid and exaggerated performance of the "Big Chibao" of the Guan family's grandma often caused laughter in the audience. As the fate of several families in Xiaoyangquan Hutong took a turn for the worse, in the third act "Famine", a scene in which Qi Ruixuan and his daughter-in-law Yunmei lost their beloved daughter Niuzi made many viewers unable to help but shed tears.

Tao Hong believes that Lao She's works are very lively and down-to-earth, "I love Mr. Lao She's works very much and like the vividness of each of his characters. So I can enter Lao She's works and spend ten years of my life with it." Together, I am very honored." What makes Tao Hong continue to perform on the drama stage for ten years? She said that drama is her profession. "I especially hope that I can take root on the stage. My requirement for myself every year is to have the opportunity to be on stage no matter what, and I cannot be unfamiliar with the stage."

After the performance, all the actors and the audience took a "starlight photo".

's drama "Four Generations Under One Roof" will be performed in Han Dynasty for three consecutive days. Tao Hong said with a smile that he ate hot dry noodles as soon as he got off the plane and felt the enthusiasm of the Wuhan audience.

"The people in Wuhan are very cheerful. I was saying this just now on the way here. When I think about the teachers Xu Fan and Yuan Quan around me, they both lived in Wuhan. I can see the kind of hardness and softness in them, so I feel This city is very energetic, and I hope our play will be loved by the Wuhan audience."
