The script of “Hearing · Hearing Yin Ling Wang Anshi” is divided into three acts: “Invigorating water conservancy, running county schools, and issuing new laws”. In order to enhance the sense of character and enrich the inner world of the characters, the three screenwriters opened the whole play with Wang Anshi’s upcoming departure from Yin County and an open dialogue with the young girl who was buried in Yin County without a name. Thousands of years later, the dying Wang Nu (Yin Nu in the play) was reborn on the stage of the play, incarnate as a storyteller, strung Wang Anshi’s achievements in Yin County, and became the main emotional line of the whole play, facing Wang Anshi from the past.

Under the epidemic, online drama watching has become a global trend of watching dramas. A large number of excellent foreign drama recordings have also been continuously introduced into China for exhibition and broadcast. The dual product of art and technology, which is different from film and television works, has also greatly expanded the audience. The dramatic vision.
Based on this, this year’s “Hearing · Hearing Yin Ling Wang Anshi” tried to use courtyard real-world immersive drama recording and online exhibition. On the one hand, it can expand the dissemination of works and explore the lens language of drama.

Based on a large number of previous environmental drama performance methods, she learns the application of the current avant-garde drama to the lens language, and makes full use of the square courtyard of this Ming Dynasty building to create a multi-dimensional Theatrical show works.

The scheduling of the whole play is as free and relaxed as reading and rehearsing, and at the same time it possesses the rigor of the drama. And smooth.
It can be said that “Hear · Hear Yin Ling Wang Anshi” upholds the experimental nature of the “Hear · Hear” original script reading session, and with the blessing of environmental drama and camera lens, it has enough modern artistry to realize the main creative team line. The idea of on-air show.
