In recent years, many creators have tried to develop art in Beijing in different ways. In the process of Beijing flavors to Beijing flavor, the majority of literary workers recorded the changes in Beijing in the city with sensitivity to the pulse of the times.

Bob and profound cultural sample

When it comes to Beijing -flavored dramas, everyone will naturally think of the Beijing People's Art Theater first.

"Since the 21st century, the advocates and researchers of Jingwei Drama have generally inclined to trace the source of the drama" Dragon Sulgou "that dates back to Beijing's artistic drama. The work has some characteristics of the Beijing -flavored drama. In the creation of the drama "Tea House", although the screenwriter Lao She did not propose that this was a Beijing -flavored drama, and director Jiao Juyin did not use Jingwei as the goal of the drama's acting practice. "But the representative of the Beijing taste drama was called by later generations. Beijing Renyi also combined with Jingwei Drama, becoming the main position of the creation of Beijing -style dramas." Young critic Xu Jian believes that it is the "Tea House", Jingwei Jingwei The rise and development of the drama in the new period has more confidence and glory, especially Lao She's time structure method of changing in the "three stages" in the script, the portrait of the portrait of portrait exhibition, and the blend of sadness and joy in blending and joyfulness The style characteristics and the distinctive ethnic characteristics of the second creation have become the norms that Jingwei drama creation has since followed.

Shuo Shi analyzed in the article "The Previous and present Life of Jingwei Drama" that the reason why Jingwei drama is fruitful and the reason why the "Tea House" -style legend can be born in it. Hidden a huge cultural background and the support system of the times. The establishment of Jingwei Drama style itself depends on the deep and long Beijing civilization and interesting Beijing dialects. The grace and honor and noble spirit of the "salty style" contained in Beijing etiquette civilization contains both humorous views and inspections, reflecting the excellent national cultural traditions; Beijing dialects are humorous and rich in subtext characteristics Inject the interesting ritual factors and warm texture into the stage.

Remove the newly break the "tight hoop curse"

With the continuous efforts of the older generation of literary and art workers, the Beijing -style drama constitutes a complete and excellent acting system, but it has gradually become a "tight curse" of the creators who are unwilling to follow. Since entering the new era, literary and art workers have tried to push out the new in various forms and means, trying to break the "tight curse".

As the inheritance and developer of Beijing Renyi Drama Arts, Ren Ming, the former dean and director of the Beijing People's Art Theater, made many attempts in the creation of Beijing -style dramas. "Since" North Street and South Courtyard ", after the practice of" Family Portrait "," Lotus "and" Players ", Ren Ming has completed the change of Beijing -flavored drama in Beijing. During this period, Beijingers New works of art, re -arrangement, and re -performances are also looking for the fitting path of Jingwei drama and the new era from the aspects of theme content, aesthetic tendency. The new aesthetic system, how to integrate the new drama performance into the innovation and development of Jingwei drama is a topic of continuous exploring these works. "Xu Jian said.

In 2022, Beijing Performing Arts Group proposed the "two new and four modernizations" development vision. "Two new" is to continue to launch "Beijing flavor, new classic" works. Zhao Jiachen, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Beijing Performing Arts Group, said in an interview with the media: "Beijing talks about four culture: ancient capital culture, red culture, Beijing flavor culture, and innovation culture. Beijing flavor is the core of these Beijing culture. Story with the old Beijingers. So our future works are focusing on the taste of Beijing, striving to create new classics, and strive to make the repertoire we created from universal dramas to boutique dramas, from boutique repertoires to classic repertoires that can be performed all year round.

At the end of 2021, the first children's drama "Uncle Maternal Grand Master" was premiered, and the praise of the industry was well received.

"Our life is constantly changing. Especially after the reform and opening up, the lives of Beijingers have greatly improved, and the city of Beijing has also developed rapidly. The current audience resonates. "Huang Ying said that although in" My Half of Life ", although it tells the story of nearly a century ago, the confusion of the young people expressed in life is also applicable to today. For life and new changes, our works should show the current practical significance. Our life is getting more and more exciting, but our works seem to be more common. Everyone always uses the so -called Beijing -flavored symbols and elements. The pursuit is the image of the sample, not the true reflection of life. "

Find the root of Beijing culture

How to make new flavors in Beijing? Drama director Tao Yuan believes that the creation of the drama in Beijing should be based on the full summary and inheriting the traditional Beijing -flavored drama creation experience represented by Beijing Renyi, and carefully think about the new connotation from the theme, content, form and other aspects: What kind of aesthetic functions and time propositions should Jingwei drama be carried? What are the new changes in the landscape, life and language of Beijing? How to tell the story of Beijing in fresh expression forms, diverse artistic styles, rich technical means? "The core of which is to return to realism on the content, shape characters with complexity, multi -faceted, and show a true and credible life. Make more new explorations in terms of processing and other aspects, and show the unique charm of Beijing as a national cultural center with the artistic posture of integrating tradition and modernity, new and old compatibility. "Tao Yuan said.

Xu Jian talked about the process of the creation of Jingwei drama from the inside out, and then from the outside. It is the mobilization of the creator's life experience, cultural experience, and thinking experience. The rational reflection of history and the sober judgment of reality; at the same time, through the expression of the arts of Beijing, the language of Beijing, the customs and customs, etc., the stage works that reflect the depth of thought, humanistic heritage, and artistic quality. Cultural pursuit. "Of course, the works that show Jingwei must not be linked to the story, experience, and things of the old Beijing, but to be good at refining the essence of thought from the complicated appearances, telling future generations where the root of Beijing culture is, how to go to how to go Guarding our cultural blood, instead of making Jingwei a dazzling business symbol that is carefully planned and carefully packaged today, "Xu Jian said.
