Lin Zhaohua and Pan Binlong collaborate again with "A Midsummer Night's Dream" premiered in Beijing at the end of November
strong > / strong > November 13, the latest play "Midsummer Night's Dream" directed by Lin Zhaohua opened its media class for the first time. Lin Zhaohua, an 80-year-old Chinese drama director, has rehearsed nearly 100 plays, but this is the first time he has tried romantic comedy. The director chose Shakespeare's classic "Midsummer Night's Dream" not only to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, but also to challenge new ways of expression, in the words of the director, "I hope this play can be more lively." Sure enough, on the day of the class visit, the media at the scene roared with laughter. strong > salute Shakespeare also pursue fun / strong > Midsummer Night's Dream is the most romantic play of all Shakespeare's plays, and it is also the most rehearsed Shakespeare comedy. In order to give actors a better understanding of the play itself, producer Zhang Lifeng specially invited English literary translators to explain Shakespeare's language. Director Lin Zhaohua asked all actors to study the original carefully and discuss with the screenwriter to localize the expression of British drama. strong > the sparks of working together again / strong > on the day of the class visit, the actors presented only a small part of the content, but it was enough to show director Lin Zhaohua's determination to try something new. Not only Chinese folk elements have been added, but also amusing songs and nook dances have been added at the key points of love. The reason why we invite the popular comedian Pan Binlong to play the role is to attach importance to his understanding of comedy and his unique humorous expression. Pan Binlong disguises the very important role of "donkey" in the play. He was also very happy to work with director Lin Zhaohua again. "there were already sparks during the rehearsal. I am looking forward to the premiere of the show at the end of November. I hope the audience will like it and live up to the director." strong > Dream perception / strong > "Midsummer Night's Dream" is an in-play play that closely links dreams, myths and reality, requiring multiple changes in the stage setting. How to have a more sense of substitution in dance beauty and clothing design, to restore classics and innovation at the same time, this is another topic for the producers. Producer Zhang Lifeng said, "I hope that after watching the play, the audience can not only feel that the play is reasonable, interesting and affectionate, but also like the slightly different fantasy view this time." br/ >
