Guest interviews

Li Xiulei, deputy editor-in-chief of Beijing Radio and Television Station

Li Xiulei: "Wuzhou Lehai·Children's Musical Stage Drama Training Camp" is a bold attempt by Beijing Radio and Television Station. Nowadays, young people are still very popular for musicals. This time we based on the resources of Beijing Radio and Television Station, fully demonstrated the advantages of our media, and created a closed loop. In the early stage, we found nearly 40 children and invited famous teachers to train them. The result is this show. "Young Su Dongpo" has formed a closed loop of training and stage presentation, which is very meaningful and completely different from training institutions.Today, Beijing Radio and Television has taken a very solid step on the road of various explorations.

Q: What do you think of the art training format of the "Wuzhou Lehai·Children's Musical Stage Drama Training Camp"?

Hao Rong: I think this is the best way and carrier for drama enlightenment. Use the artistic perspective as the starting point to guide children's interests. Through stage plays, children can learn about history and characters. Moreover, the combination of these three core elements of children, music, and stage plays, makes this art form quite bright in China.

Q: What are your thoughts on "Young Su Dongpo"?

Hao Rong: I have watched many children's stage plays in the past, but most of them were based on Western materials. What interests me most about today’s performance is its material, which comes from Chinese traditional culture . Drawing themes from these excellent traditional Chinese cultures is a particularly good attempt for musical stage dramas and deserves encouragement. This direction has unlimited potential.

Famous singer and music producer Gao Qi

Gao Qi: I am very happy to come to the performance of the children's musical stage play "Young Su Dongpo". Musical stage plays are a particularly beautiful musical experience for children, and they also play a very important role in aesthetic education , performance and educational perceptions. I have actually come into contact with these lovely children. They are all very serious, and the stage design of this performance is also very good. It is worth watching.

Famous actor and host Guan Ling

Q: What benefits do you think an art form like musical stage play has for children?

Guan Ling: allows children to have such a practical opportunity, and it is a particularly meaningful thing for them to actually stand on the stage. Because maybe we learn hosting, acting, and reciting in a relatively closed and smaller environment, and I think the most important thing for an actor is to practice on the stage. It's great that this event can be held in a great theater like the Puppet Theater to give children a chance to express themselves.

Famous singer Wang Zheng

Q: What attracted you to watch this show?

Wang Zheng: First of all, I am the escort of this drama and have seen the performances of some children. I started to get involved in musicals in 2009. To be honest, our musicals started relatively late, and many of the children on stage today are 4 or 6 years old. At such a young age, they can play a role with Mai on the stage. , so I wanted to witness the moment when these kids took the stage for the first time.

Q: What do you think is the highlight of this drama?

Wang Zheng: In fact, musicals require strict coordination. The performance on the stage is not free. It requires meticulous collaboration of a team of dozens of people. But children are relatively free and difficult to control on stage. So this drama is still very exciting. And if children of this generation have such good opportunities, their future must be limitless.

Just like what Teacher Wang Zheng said, children are free and difficult to control on the stage. You can imagine how difficult it is to cooperate with all the staff on the stage to complete the performance meticulously.

Li Manxi, the director and producer of "Young Su Dongpo" also said in an interview:

Li Manxi: Children are different from professional actors in that they have many uncontrollable factors on stage. At the same time, more patience is required to teach them how to complete all the characters, plots and arrangements in the play.In the process of studying and rehearsing the entire "Young Su Dongpo", the children can also learn a lot of things. The most important thing is teamwork. It doesn't mean that I just want to be the protagonist. Everyone has to serve me. In this play Here, all children are protagonists.

Parents said

Many parents were very excited after the performance. They all said that the performance far exceeded expectations and they were proud of their children.

In addition to the parents of the students, "completely unexpected" was also the evaluation of "Young Su Dongpo" by most people at the scene.

This "new Chinese style" children's musical stage drama has subverted everyone's previous inherent impression of children's musical stage dramas and has become a new benchmark for domestic children's musicals.
