The white night music drama may be the best musical performance of Higashino Keigo’s works.

November 30, 2018, the most anticipated in 2018. Higashino Keigo. The most popular novel adaptation. “White Nights” musical. In the opening of SAIC·Shanghai Cultural Square, I believe that every viewer who enters the theater is a fan of Dongye Keigo or a musical, and it will be worthwhile to wait for nearly one year. The author can say without hesitation that this is not a musical that relies solely on the charm of an actor or creator. The overall expression of the final performance of this drama is the result of the entire teamwork, even with Dongye. Compared with other Japanese staged works by Kyuw, this work is not enough to be called the biggest set

Higashino Keigo’s most popular novel “White Night” is the first Chinese cultural road to musical drama.

The author vaguely remembers that in March of this year, the famous Chinese music production company dyed space announced the production of the music that was praised by the industry as the innocent king of the game, “White Night”. In addition to the Japanese TV series, movies, and Korean movies, “White Nights” is no other form of work. The musical drama is the first attempt of the “White Night” novel, which means that everything starts from zero, and it is more interesting to see whether it is the first musical or Chinese version. It can be said that this is in Japan IP Chinese. The history of musical drama is unprecedented. In the previous “Japanese popular IP + Chinese version of the musical drama”, I also mentioned the cultural trends of the musical IP in recent years. Many of them are based on the Chinese culture that has been based on the existing musical version, and this time. The “White Nights” musical is still slightly different. The style, tone, and props of the whole drama are all new creations starting from zero. Such a big production should be exciting and full of pressure for the Chinese musical production team. At the same time, it is worth looking forward to and is very confusing for the Chinese audience

However, after reading the rehearsal field, the author has no doubts, and more is surprise and excitement. Moved by the heart of every detail of the whole drama

大河剧级的音乐 Only the music has been valued back to the fare.

From the beginning of the “White Nights” musical, the music composer Qianshou Ming appeared in the initial founding team. I believe that the friends who are familiar with the teacher of Qianshangming should feel the same as the author. This musical has been stabilized. Five or six became. Audiences familiar with Japanese TV dramas and Japanese animations should be familiar with Senju. The teacher of Senju, who lived in the soundtrack of Nojima’s Japanese drama, dedicated a lot of God’s early classics

2007 Dahe drama “Wind Forest Volcano”, “The Disqualification of the World”, “Strawberry on the Cake”, “Poetry at the End of the Century”, and the movie “Tears of Tears”. and other classic Japanese dramas can enjoy the epic soundtrack of the powerful and infectious power of the teacher. In the field of animation, Senju also has many successful works. “Fullmetal Alchemist”, “Revolutionary Machine”, “Mobile Suit V Gundam”, theatrical version of “The Most Travel Notes”. The popular popularity of the year was a soundtrack, and it also had an unshakable position in the heart of the second yuan music

This time, the “White Nights” musical master style adheres to the constant atmosphere of Qianshouming, mostly symphonic, dignified, powerful, sad, but there is no lack of direct notes on the soul. With more than 20 people. Strings and electronic instruments. The band composed of , the nearly three-hour live accompaniment, the music arrangement in one go, even if listening to music is a wonderful hearing baptism

At the same time, each character’s Theme Melody fits high and diverse. CHAMBER POP, JAZZ, NEWAGE, and even game electronic music. And many other musical styles are smooth and seamless, but they are very subtle in echo with the main melody and the time of the development of the plot. Perhaps this is the performance of the master musicians in the overall performance of the works. Control

The author is impressed by the fact that there are too many bridges. The opening theme of the big river drama with a sadness and sadness and a thousand live music labels is enough to make the audience enter the world of “white night” first. The scene of the whole chorus at the end of the game This time, the music will really give the audience too many refreshing surprises. This is also the scene charm that other film and television works can’t do only with musicals!

A stream of consciousness and reality. Create an exclusive stage space for white night musicals.

This time, the “White Nights” musical set should surprise the audience, and there are not many gorgeous figurative scenery. Instead, a lot of abstract stream of scenery design and props are used to construct the three-dimensional night. Stage space

The stage space of up to 10 meters is occupied by the four-story iron frame large-scale stage installation. The design of the slightly swaying “reinforced concrete” implies that the white night line works in the Japanese bubble economy era, and is cleverly designed to move. Many of the agencies have allowed the stage space to be divided into many small spaces. Each small space is sufficient to bear the development of each piece of the story and has the effect of expressing the sense of time. Such set design is rare in current Chinese musicals. In addition, there are almost as many as 20 sets of medium and small mobile sets, and the vents on both sides of the stage and the center can be lowered to form a three-dimensional and rich stage space, and the overall gray color is also the main color. Meet the overall tone of the work

The most impressive one is the three-stage mobile iron mesh shift, which has appeared twice in the entire episode. However, both can bring different feelings to the audience, especially the three The victim who was injured by Snow Spike and Bright Division relied on the sing-song scene of the iron net. The iron mesh made the stage gas field flow instantaneously by moving the triangular space formed by the three sections, even without using the stage-equipped turntable. The three victims were trapped in them, and they always lived in fear. The author just wanted to say that it was a very fairy design, wonderful!

The director of the White Night Musical Opera invited a representative of the pioneering visual art flow. Japan. Scripter. 振振川’s Hasegawa Ning. 执手,舞美 is designed by many times to nominate the Tony Award for the best dance beauty. Daniel Osting. Take responsibility. In the whole drama, many scene details and arrangements can feel the surprise and wonderful chemical reaction of the cooperation between the East and the West in the stage art presentation. High-frequency set switching, even the end of the bright and the smashing in the iron frame with the chasing battle of lights and shadows, really can make friends who like to watch musicals hooked, can feel the director on this stage High scheduling power and control

Only a musical that is not personally motivated. On the stage is the person in the drama.

The lineup of the white night musicals is not overstated if it is the most luxurious lineup of Chinese musicals. However, it is more important that the match between the actors and the characters is perfectly balanced. , Han Xue’s snow spikes. At the beginning of the announcement of the card, it was praised by the fans and the musicals. In addition, the audiences accumulated in various variety shows in recent years have really added to the music

刘令飞. As the absolute number one male lead of Chinese musicals, there is also a high degree of recognition in the circle. Of course, viewers who have seen many works of “Master Liu” may have the impression of being overly personal. The play of Han Xue played by Xue and Liu Lingfei played relatively late, but there was no feeling of “ah ~ the original drama is to see them!”, even after the passage of more than 20 minutes Pave the way, the appearance of adult snow spikes and bright divisions is beyond accidental nature and smoothness. The charm of the actors is not too abrupt in the whole drama. It is more felt that this is the drama, which should be between musicals and popular actors. The best balance point that can be formed

Han Xue on the stage of the musical is not the little girl who sang “Bamboo Forest Wind” in the soft dance stage, mature and elegant typhoon. At the same time, as a film and television actor, there is a live singing skill that does not lose professional musical actresses. , Teacher Han Xue This is another way for fans to discover your new skills! The author believes that through this drama, Han Xue is well-placed as a new generation of Tsing Yi, a new generation of 30-generation actors in China. Liu Lingfei will write a milestone for his musical actor career

In addition to the male and female protagonists, the actors who play the main role are also acting online, Ding Wei’s sergeant, Liu Yang’s mother, Tongyuan’s mother, and Huagang Xizi, as well as a group of young and middle-aged actors active in the Chinese musical stage. It is said that they have dedicated the highest interpretation of their musical actor career

The differences between the cultures of the two countries and the fans of musicals that were concerned about the differences between the two countries in terms of lines and physical expressions did not appear too much. Perhaps at the beginning of Taiwanese creation, the differences between Japanese and Chinese expressions were minimized. In the group dances of many performances, the director who is also a choreographer has also played a role in the design of the dance design, making full use of the props in the actor’s hands to achieve the nature of the actors’ performance, without dancing. Especially when the sunspot design used in the Japanese stage is used to express the dark side of the protagonist, it is also used just right

There are 10,000 Hamlet in 10,000 people, and this is also the case with this white night musical Good storytelling, absolutely control of the music, big scenes of the beautiful design, Japanese atmosphere lighting design. , many details determine the overall tonality of the white night musical. For the audience who are involved in more Japanese TV dramas or Japanese stage, this white night musical has not much disobedience and only serves as a music. It is also the existence of high completion, of course, you can also see some famous scenes after learning from other musicals. For the audience who first watched the Japanese music adaptation of Japanese IP, there will be many surprises and impressions. From the production level of the white night musical, it is really excellent compared to all the Chinese version of the musical in China!

“White Nights” musical will be played in Shanghai Auto Culture Plaza for 10 consecutive games from November 30th to December 9th, 2018. Although it is hard to find a ticket, this musical is a musical in China. The course has an extraordinary meaning, giving new possibilities for the production of Chinese musicals in the future, and giving Chinese audiences a higher level of musical experience

In the media interview after the rehearsal, the two starring Han Xue and Liu Lingfei also mentioned that it was because of the sincerity of production that they made their determination to make a good musical of China and moved to participate. White night line of musical drama. After all, for Han Xue’s current popularity, it takes a half-year to play a musical in the rehearsal hall and theater. However, as Han Xue said, it is hard to find a good drama. The author also believes that the white night musical is a good starting point for the Chinese musical to enter a new course. I also believe that more viewers will enter the theater because they love musicals
