After failing the first scientific examination, he became obsessed with the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese working people. He conducted a complete examination and sorting out the science, technology and crafts before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and finally wrote the story of "Tiangong Kaiwu" which "has nothing to do with fame and progress". . The creative team of

At the meeting, the starring actors Wei Shenzhou, Ma Jiaolong, Lu Kedi, Hu Shi, and Yao Liang also shared their respective understandings of "Tiangong Kaiwu". Wei Shenzhou said bluntly, "The biggest difference between this dance drama and the dance dramas we have performed before is that the director is a film director, and he will rely more on drama in the interpretation of the characters. The two drama directors in our group will help us Understand and perform the role more reasonably, telling us what the character is like and how to express it with the body. But it needs to be adjusted, because drama and dance are different, so we have to absorb the suggestions and guidance from the directors. It is fully expressed through his own body."
