"Sunrise" is the masterpiece of the famous Chinese dramatist Mr. Cao Yu. "Sunrise" occupies a leading position among Cao Yu's plays with its distinctive contemporary nature and in-depth historical content. The script centers on Chen Bailu and Fang Dasheng, showing the lives of all strata of society in front of the audience, exposing the nature of the exploitative system of "taking advantage of others".

In the Tianjin People's Art version of "Sunrise", there is a genius director's treatment. In the last scene of the whole play, instead of Chen Bailu walking behind the scenes and taking pills to commit suicide, Chen Bailu was asked to sit on the sofa and count sleeping pills one by one. Pills, "One, two... so young, so beautiful... Eight, nine, the sun has risen, the sun is not ours, we are going to sleep... Ten." The curtain was filled with the sad sound of counting pills. It slowly comes to an end.

Although more than eighty years have passed since the birth of "Sunrise", the audience can still feel the practical educational significance of this classic and can once again experience the many insights into life, life, history and reality. Kind of flavor.

Zhang Yanqiu, who plays the heroine Chen Bailu in "Sunrise" and deputy director of the Tianjin People's Art Theater, said that although the classic "Sunrise" was played in the 1930s, it is still relevant to today's audiences. It's still very realistic. "The various characters in "Sunrise" can also be found in today's society. Through this play, we can better think about how people should live and what they should pursue."

As a classic drama, "Sunrise" has been performed by many different theaters. But Tianjin People's Art's version of "Sunrise" is more original and faithful to the original work. Zhang Yanqiu believes, "I personally think the Tianjin People's Art version of "Sunrise" is the most distinctive, because Mr. Cao Yu is from Tianjin and writes about Tianjin affairs. The scene 'that building' mentioned by the character in the play is the current Bohai Building in Tianjin. , the third-class brothel in the play was an area in Nankai District of Tianjin in the old days, and the apartment where the protagonist Chen Bailu lived was the Huizhong Hotel on Heping Road, so it would be most suitable for this play to be performed on the stage by a Tianjin native. After more than 20 years of drama experience, Zhang Yanqiu said that Chen Bailu in "Sunrise" was the most difficult role to play. "The connotation, difficulty, and height of the role of Chen Bailu are far beyond what I showed on the stage. How to say the lines, how to perform her character, and how to make this character fuller, these questions are always rolling in my mind. "In 2005, when she first started playing this role, Zhang Yanqiu spent almost all her time outside of acting thinking about this character, who is in pain because of deep love. How can she express a "desperate good guy"? This is a new concept for her. kind of challenge.

Today, Zhang Yanqiu has played Chen Bailu for 19 years, but she still maintains a keen perception, and she can feel new touches every time she goes on stage. She said: "Every scene of this drama touches me. "Japan" The four-act play "Out" is very classic. Each act has its own action and purpose, and it is full of attractions. "

" It is worth mentioning that the version performed in Hainan even brings together old, middle-aged and young people. Three generations of actors perform together. Zhang Yanqiu told reporters that this is her third time to perform in Hainan in recent years.She said: "We have been touring all over the country. We didn't have many opportunities to come to Hainan before, but in recent years, Hainan performances have become more and more frequent. I feel that Hainan's performing arts market is becoming more and more prosperous."

"I like Hainan so much! "Speaking of Hainan, Zhang Yanqiu made no secret of her love for this place. She said that it is very comfortable whether she comes here in summer or winter. Hainan has many special snacks, duty-free shops, and many beautiful scenery. All of this is special. Attractive.
