"I was confused at first. I thought I might not be able to do it. Every time I read the script, my heart would beat several times more and I was very nervous, but I was attracted in the end." Talking about accepting the role of the musical "Rouge" "Buckle" invitation process, singer Xiao Jingteng said.
On April 7, the musical "Rouge" starring Xiao Jingteng, Zhang Ze, Ding Zhenying, Xu Yao, etc. will start its first performance at the Shanghai Cultural Plaza, recreating the tragic love story of the twelve young boys and Ruhua.
"rougebutton", which came out in 1987, has its own brilliance, and adaptation has become a challenge. The original author Li Bihua personally supported the creation of the musical. In order to be more in line with the aesthetics of modern women, she made appropriate adjustments to Ruhua. She also made adjustments to the sub-line in the play - the love line between Yuan Yongding and Chu Chu to be more in line with the modern view of love. reset.
Director Zoe Marconi from Broadway said that the biggest difficulty in rehearsing is that the two leading actors must not be superficial, but must deeply enter and experience the emotions and emotions of the characters.
"Rehearsal is a process of discovering oneself and trusting each other. In the rehearsal hall, I try my best to create an environment where the actors feel safe and allow them to explore emotions such as anger and grief. Chinese actors are still used to holding back and acting conservatively. We are exploring and harvesting." The director strongly recommends the fourth scene of the second act, the part where the two leading actors die in love, which is extremely poignant and sad.
"Musicals are so attractive, and I love watching them myself." After years of struggling in the pop music circle, Jam Hsiao decided to change tracks and work in a new direction to pursue his beloved music career.
"I'm very excited and have a heart to learn." It was his first time in a musical to challenge such a classic role, and Xiao Jingteng expressed his trepidation. In order to interpret the Twelve Young Masters well, he memorized all the lines for his rival scenes and learned all the songs before joining the group. At the same time, he constantly updated the biographies of the Twelve Young Masters and continued discussions with the director and other creatives to discover more Twelve Young Masters. Find out the unique temperament of the young master and find the character’s behavioral logic.
In Zhang Ze, who also played the role of the Twelve Young Masters, Xiao Jingteng admitted that he saw a lot of parts worthy of learning, working hard, and adjusting. "When playing the same role, every actor will have his own emotional projection. If it weren't for me, Rehearsal, I like his acting in the audience, I see many ideas in him that I don't have."
"I saw a very pure and simple emotional release from Jam Hsiao, simplicity is the most touching." Zhang Ze Xiao said that he has performed in musicals for several more years than Jam Hsiao, so it is easier for him to start from the technical point of view, but true feelings are what impress the audience the most.
For him, the pressure lies in the deviation of the background of the times. "We are in a free era where we don't have to worry about food and drink, but in that era, there was no so-called freedom. The Twelve Young Masters are like a bird, wanting to fly out of the cage, but throughout his life None of them flew out." Zhang Ze hopes to find the helplessness and poignancy to make the audience think, sigh, and cherish the moment.
After rehearsing the entire play with Jam Hsiao, Ding Zhenying, who plays the role of Ruhua, kept crying out that she was tired. It was not physical fatigue, but a rich emotional catharsis and emotional expression.
"There was a scene where Ruhua was old and saw him again. I couldn't hold back and my eyes were full of tears." Ding Zhenying said that the first half was full of longing and beauty, but in the second half, the two began to tear apart emotionally. It's so cruel that the audience will cry every time.
took on the role of Ruhua, and Ding Zhenying was equally nervous, because the movie was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the performances of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui had been engraved in the minds of the audience. "After entering the rehearsal hall, I discovered something different: in the movie, her looking back only requires a gentle glance. At a glance, the movie will give a close-up; on the stage, if the actor only performs such an action, the audience will not be able to see it, unless you use a telescope. Therefore, the stage will be grander and more gorgeous than the movie. The Twelve Young Masters in the Theater and Ruhua must not be presented according to the movie version."
"I need to have two states, one is Ruhua 50 years ago, and the other is Ruhua 50 years later."Xu Yao also spent a long time picking up the corner of Ruhua, "She is not from our era, not even from this world, and does not belong to the world. In one section, she is a soul and needs to take the audience to recall the past, but she is also a real person. It is very difficult to switch between the two. "
