The wonderful performances attracted many citizens. There were many consecutive performances, almost full of them, and they reached a new level in the history of drama creation in the Municipal Art Theater.
During the performance, the actors on the stage and the audience on the stage reached a deep integration, and they were deeply moved by the protagonists’ fate and happy ending. The play was planned by Gao Xiaohong, Wang Jiajun, Han Zaigang, etc., and was created twice by Liu Xiao, Qiao Ke, and Fan Yue based on the script “Spirit of the Red Deer”, reflecting the distinctive contemporary character and Hulunbeier folk customs. It is an excellent artistic achievement of the Municipal Art Theater and a gratifying harvest of artistic creation in Hulunbuir.
The artistic shock and emotional power embodied in the drama “White Clouds” is to show people’s patriotism in the details of life and convey full of positive energy. The protagonist in the first act is a middle-aged and elderly woman. The drama has fully shaped her inner struggle as a “nail household” on the issue of demolition. The old man runs a barbecue restaurant and attracts many new and old customers with his warm and thoughtful service and good reputation. Her son also grew up in the barbecue restaurant. She has a hard time giving up her feelings for the small restaurant, so no matter who comes to persuade her, she will not be willing to persuade her. move. Later, a doctor resolutely decided to help Wuhan when the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out, and came to her barbecue shop to give herself away. The old man’s soul was strongly shocked. She understood that as ordinary people, they should also be selfless when facing the overall situation. The lofty spirit of dedication and fear of sacrifice, realizing that my previous concerns were wrong. The drama truly reproduces the ideological transformation process of ordinary people in the face of the choice of “home” and “country”, so that the audience is moved while being educated. The second act reproduces the choices made by young people in the new era when facing life and love. Although a pair of young men and women who fell in love did not make the full moon due to various reasons, they cherished their love in their hearts and unanimously chose to work and live in each other’s birthplace, Shanghai and Hulunbeier, to build a beautiful second hometown for the country. Contribute to economic and cultural construction. This kind of family and country feelings and a slightly sentimental love story deeply infected the audience at the scene. The third act shows the noble sentiments of a retired old postman who stays away from his job and does not leave his career. He devoted all his life to the postal industry, and he was diligent and diligent, never caring about personal gains or losses. After retirement, I still worry about work and don’t want to enjoy a comfortable life. As a result, my body becomes uncomfortable and my heart struggles with conflicts. He is the embodiment of thousands of ordinary working people, represents the selfless dedication of a generation, and is a model for us to learn from.
As a drama art, plot and details are very important. During the limited time of stage performance, the drama “White Clouds” touched countless audiences with its full plot and real details. For example, in the first act, the struggle and transformation of the old woman used foil and contrast to make the invalid advice of community directors, police, sons, and neighbors and doctors rush to the front line, regardless of personal safety, boldly meet the challenge as foil and contrast, highlighting The process of her transformation makes the plot ups and downs and presents a solemn and solemn artistic style. In the second act of the test of young men and women, a character is added and a checkpoint is set up, which creates a strong drama conflict, which makes the plot a little bit brighter in the psychological entanglement. This scene is more full and full, not only in line with the laws of human emotions, but also respecting the laws of art, presenting a bright and romantic artistic style. The third act sets off the image of the characters. The daughter comes to pick up the old father from his hometown and go to the big city to spend his old age. The father is reluctant to leave his homeland, reluctant to leave the place where he has worked all his life. Finally, the daughter understood the father’s painstaking efforts and left her father on his way home alone. The relationship between the characters in this scene is complicated, and the picture has a strong sense of picture. In the light comedy atmosphere, it has successfully shaped the typical image of the older generation who insists on holding their posts.
Drama is a way of artistic expression. It must not only abide by the laws of art, but also have its own unique method of expression. Especially at the time of continuous progress in media art, the impact of highly visible film and television works and mobile phones from the media has led to Some art categories are in decline, and dramas are also facing severe tests. As the art of live performance, drama must first consider the integration of actors and audience, that is, the sense of intimacy generated by “simultaneity”. The drama “White Clouds” is a masterpiece of deep integration between the actors and the audience. The monologues, dialogues and voiceovers of the characters not only respect the traditional drama language, but also use the vivid spoken language of life. The characters are portrayed as relatives and friends, as if they are the people around us, so their destiny always affects the hearts of the audience. . After they overcame their inner entanglement and sublimated the realm of thought, the audience understood their inner tears and was moved unknowingly.
The drama “White Clouds” has made bold developments in artistic means, which has made people change their impressions of past dramas and accept the unique charm of dramas in the new era and new media. For example, setting the subject matter clues accurately—that is, ordinary greatness, and interspersing it throughout the work, and then extracting the key scenes. In terms of structure, it adopts a three-stage style. The three acts have different contents and styles, but the common theme of “love” runs through, and it is still a whole. In addition, an “outsider” is also set up, that is, a “guide” throughout the play. As a “hometown person”, she explained and sublimated before and after the opening, eliminating the complicated plot introduction of stage performances. Another example is the stage setting, which is virtual but realistic, and the lighting is just right. On the one hand, it highlights the part and details, and on the other hand, it serves the effect of serving the background of the characters’ activities. In the second act, two unfamiliar people share the same big bed. They can’t sleep all night because they are not used to it, so they have to chat to pass the time. For the performance of the big bed, imagery was often used on the stage in the past, instead of moving the stage on the big bed. Now, by lighting the light on the wall behind the characters, the visual effect of the characters lying on the big bed appears when two people stand in front. This effect is more intuitive, more vivid, and closer to the echoing relationship between the upper and lower stage. There is also the proper use of background music. Several lyrical songs complement the plot of the story, highlighting the characters’ feelings of loss, sentimentality, joy, etc., and also exaggerating the atmosphere of the drama, unknowingly bringing the audience into the plot and following the characters in the play. Feeling the joys and sorrows together is the resonance effect of the so-called music.
“Bai Yun Duo Duo” has innovations and breakthroughs in ideological, artistic, value orientation, and aesthetic performance. In terms of ideology, in addition to praising the feelings of the family and the country, there are also performances such as precise poverty alleviation and moral reconstruction. The drama is not long, but it is thought-provoking. In the artistic innovation, the tendency of “stage novelization” is shown, and it has also changed the tradition of expressing plots through character dialogues, monologues, and narrations in the past. The bold use of new methods such as setting, lighting, music, sound, and voice-overs has strengthened In addition to the audio-visual effects, viewing quality and artistic tension, the audience’s psychological expectations and emotional rhythms are in harmony.
The Hulunbuir Art Theater was established earlier in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and has a high reputation and great influence. Over the past 70 years, the Municipal Art Theater has created a large number of outstanding works of art, and has won five Golden Lion Awards, the “Five One Project Award” and other honors. Hulunbuir Art Theater does not stop at the glory of the past, but keeps pace with the times, fears hardships, upholds the fine tradition of Ulan Muqi, and keeps in mind the service concept of “from the people to the people” , Constantly reform and innovate, continue to lead the trend of artistic creation.
In the context of the new era, Hulunbuir Land is interpreting moving stories one by one, waiting for artists to discover, sing, and create. (Wang Yunjie)
