As the last episode of the first round of competition, this episode was extraordinarily lively. Witnessed by “Philharmonic Helpers” Zhang Yuqi, Ayunga, Huang Shujun, and Xiao Ke, musical actors from different generations gathered together, showing the vigor of the current musical industry in an all-round way. The Chinese original musical “Butterfly”, the Broadway musical “To Evan Hansen”, “The Wicked Witch” and the French musical “Rock Mozart” also conveyed once again that “The City of Philharmonic” does not forget its originality. The concept and persistence of absorbing foreign and facing the future.
Powerful big coffee and rookie stage are all moving
Powerful celebrities, industry backbones, new forces… In the third episode of the show, actors of different ages and positions gave wonderful performances, and many emotional points made the actors and the “Philharmonic Power Troupe” Couldn’t hold back the tears.
The original musical “Butterfly” based on “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai” is considered a landmark work in the history of Chinese musicals. On the stage of “The City of Philharmonic”, actors Yu Yueyue and Ju Hongchuan brought together the classic passages, conveying the implicit beauty of Chinese love. Among them, Yu Yueyue, who calls himself “the first-generation actor of musicals”, let the actors in the backstage collectively “break the defense” as soon as he opened his voice, and Zheng Qiyuan, who has collaborated with him many times, wiped away tears frequently. From “musical lovers” to “musical participants”, Ju Hongchuan encountered a sudden “traveling oolong” while bringing surprises. How would he respond ingeniously?
Zhu Fu, who has multiple identities such as musical actor, director and vocal director, transformed into the emerald green and outcast Efba in the popular “Wicked Witch”, and the actor Li Weiling, who called herself “Slash Youth”, interprets A sincere friendship of “Girls Helping Girls”. The two people’s unique performances and their heartfelt emotions made Zhang Yuqi burst into tears on the spot and praised repeatedly, “I think there should be more actors like this in our industry.”
At the same time, more young musical theatre powers are emerging. The heartwarming Broadway musical “To Irvin Hansen” tells the story of a high school student suffering from “social phobia.” As the group with the youngest average age and the largest number of people in the first round of competition, the four actors, Cao Yang, Li Qin, Yan Zhongjie, and Chen Tian, under the leadership of director Xiao Jie, made a breakthrough in turning the solo performance in the original work into a concise paragraph. An easy-to-understand and touching stage of cooperation, and the “tear-jerking” effect shocked the audience.
And self-proclaimed “little actor who has played a supporting role for 10 years” Liu Yixuan, and Feng Difei, a student who gave the “first stage”, stepped into the world of the French musical “Rock Mozart”. The two sisters in the play are tit for tat for love. Witty and moving.
Ayunga Xiaoke resonated “supporting roles also shine”
The wonderful performances, moving excerpts and the common love of the actors have brought many different insights to the “Philharmonic Power Troupe”. Yu Yueyue was the original singer of the theme song “You and Me” for the Beijing Olympics. Even Xiaoke would sigh with emotion as “senior”. Why did she join “City of Philharmonic” with a gorgeous resume? Yu Yueyue said frankly that Zhang Yuqi is her role model, and she also wants to continue to break through herself like Zhang Yuqi, “I want everyone to see a multi-faceted me”.
In response, Zhang Yuqi responded enthusiastically and bluntly stated that her crossover was out of her passion for exploration. During the exchange, Zhang Yuqi also boldly “predicted” possible doubts from the outside world: why should she participate in “The City of Philharmonic” as a person who “cannot fight” with the musical? Speaking, she bravely asked: “Why not? Why can’t a film and television actor participate? Our attempt does not necessarily represent professionalism, but it represents enthusiasm. I want to tell more people, you can come too!”
Liu Yixuan, who has always appeared on the stage as a “golden supporting role”, used her strength to write shining moments. Ayunga offered her encouragement to her self-confessed “little actor”, “Everyone thinks (as if) how great the protagonist is, but in fact, all the characters are standing on the stage!” Xiao Ke, who has rich creative experience, is even more Sigh: Although the creator always wants to write the protagonist completely and richly, the supporting role who undertakes a relatively single task will be more prominent in presentation and unforgettable.
Of course, the bigger suspense of this episode is that the first round of competitions for all 32 actors is over, and who will end up on the list of “Character A”? During the voting process, the “Philharmonic Support Group” repeatedly had scenes of entanglement among all members, and Huang Shujun and Xiao Ke were even more witty bickering about whether to show their choices in a “bright plate”.
What kind of performance will make the actors cry and burst into tears? What kind of result made the “Philharmonic Support Group” full of surprises and emotions? The final direction of this competition for corner A will be officially announced soon.
