June 12, 2022, is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Beijing People's Art Theatre.More than 300 works serve the audience
Looking back 40 years ago, Mr. Cao Yu, a famous writer, dramatist, and the old director of Beijing People's Art, wrote in the "Preface to the 30th Anniversary of the Founding of the Academy": "Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when was there a period of 30 years? Theaters with a history of 20 years? Today, there are theaters with such a long history in major cities. For 30 years, the beloved Comrade Zhou Enlai and many revolutionary leaders have been caring and cultivating Beijing people and art. He personally visited the actors’ performances. Dormitory, caring for their lives. Most importantly, he asked us to continue to contribute to the cultural life of the workers, peasants and soldiers, and often go on to perform. We must never forget that the people are our parents. We must let the audience know that all truth, goodness and beauty are strengthened. Our sense of social responsibility to the people."
Today, 40 years after the publication of this preface, Ren Ming, the president of Beijing Renyi, wrote in the "Preface to the Commemorative Book of the 70th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Academy": "Beijing Renyi is a theater for the 'people'. With the joint efforts of artists and artists, Beijing Renyi has adhered to the people's position, shared the breath with the people, shared the destiny with the nation, and kept pace with the times. In the past 70 years, it has truly achieved deep life, rooted in the people, and regarded the people as the source of artistic creation. The object is to take audience satisfaction or dissatisfaction as the highest standard for testing art, and use more than 300 ancient and modern Chinese and foreign drama works to serve the audience and serve the motherland.”
"People's Art" runs through Renyi's 70 years
The four words "people's art" have been used throughout the seventy years of Beijing Renyi.
It is first reflected in the dramatic art that Beijing Renyi constructs belongs to Chinese national culture and aesthetics, and constructs a dramatic art system that conforms to the living habits and aesthetic characteristics of the Chinese people. Whether its stories are Chinese or foreign, contemporary or ancient, Chinese audiences can always see their own shadows in these stories, and comprehend and reflect on life from these "shadows".
People can see the cause and effect and impermanence of life from Thunderstorm, the life of the old Chinese market from Teahouse, the new life brought to the toiling masses by New China from Longxugou, and from "Cai Wenji" can see the charm of traditional Chinese art; people can also see the wisdom and resistance of the bottom people from "Aesop", and can see the snobbery and hypocrisy of the upper-class people from "The Lady Returns" ... These works are both epochal and transcending, both regional and transcending.
Build a drama system that suits the common people
Constructing a drama art and drama system on the Chinese stage that suits the appetite of the Chinese people is not just achieved by scripts and theories. In Beijing Renyi, generations of art workers know how to go deep into life and experience life. They go into factories and villages to understand, observe and experience life that they do not understand. Through the study and exchange of workers from all walks of life, I have learned the three words "human world" in my own academic accent.
In the era of "Guo Lao Cao", actors would learn from Guo Moruo, Lao She, and Cao Yu, and why didn't "Guo Lao Cao" not listen to the actors? In the early days of reform and opening up, because of a new script, the vice president invited guests and toasted the screenwriter Guo Qihong. In this glass of beer, it was not just Guo Qihong, but the creative group of screenwriters. Likewise today, Ren Ming, Tang Ye, Pu Cunxin, Feng Yuanzheng... These Beijing Renyi artists are not starting from works of art to communicate and collide, even if they are young people who have just entered the industry.
"Only small roles, no small actors"
In the past 70 years of Beijing Renyi, "the drama is bigger than the sky" and "a vegetable" are the artistic spirits that have been inherited. Every artist knows the truth of "there are only small roles, no small actors". The drama performance artist Huang Zongluo has never played any major roles, but he is famous for his supporting roles. A "Second Master Song" in "The Tea House" is still talked about; He Bing is now a so-called head star, but as long as he is In the performance of "Tea House", Liu Mazi and Xiao Liu Mazi still acted in high spirits.
The four words "Beijing People's Art" are also reflected in the fact that all the people in the theater are ordinary people. Maybe they are artists, well-known actors, and big-name directors on the stage, but in life, they are ordinary people, even people from Beijing. The "little people" are often spoken of. However, these "little people" always have a patriotic heart and a love for others. These "little people" who are talented and talented always have a high sense of social responsibility.
This sense of social responsibility is more reflected in the example that Beijing artists and artists, as a literary and art group, have made in the face of danger to the country and the people. As Ren Ming, the current president of Beijing Renyi, wrote in the "Preface to the 70th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Academy": "Especially when the country is in crisis, such as the SARS outbreak in Beijing in 2003, and the 2008 earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province, In 2020, the global new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out. In difficult times, Beijing Renyi has never been absent. It has taken active actions to express its love and concern for the motherland, the nation, and the people with drama works created and released, which fully reflects It shows the strong sense of social responsibility and mission of the artists.”
