The main creative representative of the play - the original author Liu Zhenyun, the chief producer and producer Li Yang Duo, revival director Carolina Pizarro, revival dramaturg He Yufan, costume and styling designer Liu Hongman introduced the creative highlights of this work at the scene.

The stage play "Three Autumns in One Day" is adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel of the same name. It is set in the author's hometown of Yanjin. The protagonist Mingliang and the three women who are deeply bound to him connect his wandering life and reflect the entire Yanjin society. "joke" culture, and then passed on the life wisdom about "jokes" to the world. The play was selected as a high-quality creation project of the "Grand Theater in Beijing" literary and artistic creation incubation platform. It is produced and produced by Gulou West Drama, with Huang Lei serving as the artistic director.

Liu Zhenyun said at the press conference that day, "Adapting a novel into a stage play is not an easy task. In the era of short videos, why theater is attractive is a serious topic. The greatest charm of the stage is that it can break through the square. Flying over thousands of rivers and mountains, from finite to infinite." He pointed out that the greatest charm of "Three Autumns in One Day" is the blend of myth and reality, showing an imagination that cannot be achieved in real life.

This is another collaboration between Liu Zhenyun and Gulouxi Drama after "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences" and "I'm Not Pan Jinlian". Li Yangduo said that day, "From "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences" to "Three Autumn Days in One Day", we have gone to the place where the story takes place to collect stories, interact with local people, and taste local food." She introduced that for "Three Autumns in One Day", she went to Yanjin twice to collect folk songs, and the two important pieces of music in the play were also adapted by Xiao He, the composer, based on the harvest of folk songs. According to reports, "One Day, Three Autumns" has toured several cities in the first half of this year. For this performance at the National Center for the Performing Arts, the crew conducted a third long-term rehearsing. During the third rehearsing , because of the addition of director Carolina, more female perspectives have also been added.

The revival director Carolina Pizarro said that she has long cooperated with artists from different countries and cultural backgrounds, so Yanjin in Liu Zhenyun’s novel is no stranger to her. In order to better understand the story in the play, she watched Chinese paintings, tasting delicacies from different places in China, and going to parks, streets, and communities to experience the daily life of Chinese people. The original novel itself also provided her with very rich nutrition. She said that the structure of the play this time is not just to present a single person, but to present all living beings in Yanjin and the relationship between family and friendship. Based on the love and empathy for the characters, the play added a female perspective, "Choose a perspective that is closer to their hearts, especially the character Ma Xiaomeng, hoping to show her connection with bright love more purely, and It’s not a criticism of her past behavior.”

He Yufan, the dramaturg of the revival, mentioned that in order to present such a rich work in more than two hours, at the level of dramatization, the play made a magical and realistic depiction of the protagonist's life after his forties and fifties. Processing can also be regarded as a summary of the story and a second creation based on the novel.

Liu Hongman, costume design designer, said that the original novel provided a very important inspiration. When I read the novel for the first time, I had a very strong sense of the picture. It felt like a picture of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" showing the various behaviors of the people in Yanjin. Therefore, the presentation format and style were determined to be presented in the form of painting.

It is reported that the stage play "Three Autumns in One Day" will be staged at the National Center for the Performing Arts from December 11th to 12th.(End)
