From December 15th to 17th, Yang Liping's 2022 version of the dance drama "Peacock" will be performed 4 times in Wuhan, Hubei Province within 3 days. At 15:00 on the 15th, the Wuhan press conference of the dance drama "Peacock" was held at the Qintai Concert Hall. The main creators Yang Liping, Xiao Ronghao, Wang Silong, Ma Yuanhan, Fan Jingyue, Yang Bixi and other actors attended the press conference.

"Peacock" premiered in 2012, telling a story about life based on the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In 2022, Yang Liping, as the chief choreographer, will adapt it into a new dance drama version. She said that "Peacock" expresses life. "Life is just a few decades, dozens of springs, summers, autumns and winters. It also symbolizes the process of life - spring sprouts, summer grows, autumn declines, and winter dies."

In June this year, some netizens caused controversy when they posted stills from the 2022 version of the dance drama "Peacock" because a male dancer was wearing flesh-colored tight-fitting shorts and lying on his side in the arms of an actress, which was said to be "inappropriate for children." .

At the press conference, when Yang Liping mentioned the feeling of receiving different voices, she said that she hardly reads comments and does not care too much about public opinions. "You have to believe in yourself. This drama is about the inner strength... If a person If she can face death without fear, then her heart is very strong."

Later, other main actors also talked about their feelings about this dance drama and the roles they played.

Xiao Ronghao, who plays the female Peacock, said that participating in a classic work such as "Peacock" is not only an improvement in technical skills and skinny, but also an improvement in self-cultivation. Although

has performed many performances, from the first performance to now, she is very nervous every time. The moment she is about to go on stage, her heart will beat violently. Wang Silong, the male peacock actor of

, said that boys must be strong and soft to perform this dance. They need to interpret and convey beauty to the audience, so the physical requirements of the dancers are extremely high. In private, chief editor Yang Liping will correct her demeanor on stage and urge herself to exercise so that her body looks beautiful.

In this dance drama, the crow is a villain. This character shows more desires on the stage and requires a more powerful aura than the peacock.

Crow actor Ma Yuanhan is a post-00s generation, but has successfully appeared in nearly 200 games. He believes that this character is not a simple bad guy, but a greedy, jealous, and strong person.

"The crow feels that he is not as good as the peacock. He thinks that the peacock's feathers are beautiful. He has envied others from the beginning and ignored his own beauty. The peacock who loses his feathers is no longer a peacock, but the crow who gets the peacock feathers is still a crow. "Ma Yuanhan said.

In order to strengthen the crow's skills, Ma Yuanhan will add many powerful movements on the stage to support the character's aura. Due to the hard training, he had injuries on his back, legs, knees, and hands. He had a broken leg, and now his neck is sprained. "In life, my mind is clear, but on stage I am no longer a human, I am a crow."

In addition, Fan Jingyue, who plays the role of time in the dance drama, kept spinning from the beginning to the end of the dance drama. She recalled that she had some motion sickness before. When she tried it for the first time, she vomited after spinning for six minutes. However, after two or three months of practice, she no longer got motion sickness and focused on how to use "time". Such intentional things become concrete.

"Everyone knows that time is objective, but our feelings about time are subjective. I hope that the time I present is not ruthless, but must be a sentient world. She looked at the story between the peacock and the crow, In fact, it is very powerless."

Fan Jingyue said that when she was spinning, she actually envied the dancers who could express their emotions with their bodies on stage.

"As time, I envy them as they are lives, they can love, they can hate, they can do what they want to do without leaving any regrets. Although I am just time, I can't do what everyone wants, and I can't change some things. But I want to Say, everyone’s differences, your love and hate, your past, and time can all be seen.What I can do is to give life to time, and what everyone can do is to give time meaning and life. "
