Personally, I like opera musicals very much, and I watched several big plays on Tianqiao. In the morning, I took the time to read all the answers, but openly, the Duotu Party was praised more. Although Beijing Station has finished its performance, let's leave a personal feeling. I'm an old fan of Jay Chou. I've heard all about him since his first album in primary school. For the musical adaptation of An Unspeakable Secret, score 6-7 out of 1, with a maximum of 7. Among them, 2-3 points are emotional points, that is to say, it is changed for this idol movie, and the songs and music are full of Jay. Give it to the behind-the-scenes production team and the songs they adapted, so it is only 1-2 points to deal with the story defection, the beauty of the dance, the acting skills of the actors and so on.
I saw the second performance, which was the afternoon performance on the 24th. Look at the front, someone said that the speaker appeared in the first performance and the music playing topic was completely handled in this performance, and the performance went smoothly without problems. Before the performance, I called Tianqiao Art Center to confirm the repeated starring role, but the revival that the manager kept giving in the middle of ticket sales was no! Know! Tao! That is to say, apart from the big names of the production team who introduced the web page, no one on stage knows, which is still very rare. I'll record it according to the cast, stage plan and story deviation.
Let's start with the cast:
Lady No.1: I didn't know it was Wang Xiaomin who played Xiao Yu until this morning. As a person who made me grow up in the entertainment capital, I didn't even know this person existed before this morning. I checked online and actually went to the Spring Festival Gala twice, and suddenly I was overwhelmed. Am I too discerning? (I heard that there are too many negative comments on her), acting skills, the only thing that makes me think good is the part with her mother in the kitchen (that is, the part of singing Taoxiang), which is considered to be emotional, but not so artificial. The other part is about acting, and it won't be bad for her to play a secret in the Chinese opera.
Lady No.2: This uninformed flower addict who changed the original version of the film and turned into a melon eater, turned into a green tea scheming bitch. In the play, I have an ambiguous relationship with three boys, which is nothing. It is normal for a good-looking girl to have a seeker. However, this relationship has not been sorted out. To put it bluntly, it is pulling this one and watching that one without putting another one, and there are still many people who are spare tires. The energy relationship reflected by this adaptation is a bit less hostile, but I don't like it anyway. Although I don't like the character setting, but ~! ! Personally, I think she is better than the first girl. Since the character setting makes her a green tea bitch, through her performance, she may give the audience a very clear direction. In addition, her dancing and singing are good. Together, I think I like them very much, which is much better than the performance of a silly girl.
Man 1: If you love Ye Xianglun played by Jay in the movie version, Ye Xianglun in the musical really can't watch it. Replacing Jay with someone else is completely different from that drive. Of course, because the artistic situation has also changed, the performance techniques have also changed, and the change of characters is completely acceptable. Man Yi is very handsome, and he sings well. He also does a good job in holding several difficult songs of Jay Chou.
Man 2: It seems that Man 2 didn't have it in the original (I can't remember). The second man in the musical is a pair of A Lang Abao, which is the second one that I personally think is better than the first man. Although it is a minor role, it runs through the whole story from beginning to end, and there are still many scenes. Another very nervous thing is that the adapted musical has participated in many funny factors, so that the audience will not think it boring after two hours. And this tense part is mostly done by these two people. In the performance, the synchronization rate of the two people is very high, the actions are the same, and the lines are multi-directional in humor. At least in the whole process of entertaining, I had a desire to laugh when I saw them. When I saw them playing, I thought they were going to be funny again, so from a personal point of view, they were very successful. Of course, the adaptation has changed their personnel to two mentally retarded people, with different mistakes, which should be changed to be more mentally retarded than the movie version.
Next, the stage:
I thought I could spit this out. I wonder if the production cost is not high and the stage result is not so good. I recall the props that can be listed: a lecture hall and piano, women's home, women's kitchen, men's restaurant, roof, bicycle, school corridor, school banner archway, roof, tables and chairs, dance table, bar, football match field, etc., not counting the props used by actors. Isn't this a lot? Together with the cast of 22 people, the time available for watching gives me the impression that the stage is empty, and the stage of Tianqiao is a big stage. A two-hour musical uses so many things, giving people the impression that the stage is empty. Some bridge actors came out to perform, which made me think that it was the same visual result as pulling a few people to perform privately on the surface lawn. Of course, this is definitely related to the story defection. After all, it is a movie, and the number of games rotates quickly. It is possible to find the reason for the indication, but personally, it is not enough to smooth this defect. I don't understand the changing and matching of lighting. Without relevant knowledge, I can criticize it steadily. From the visual result of personal private residence, it is ok. There is no plot that makes me think that the lighting is not good enough. Compared with "Luo Zhu" staged by Tianqiao last week and "Phantom of the Opera" staged in October last year, there is a great gap in the stage results. Although these two dramas I listed are all high-standard dramas in the world, it is really inappropriate to compare them, but the production teams of this drama are all awesome. Through comparison, I still think that this drama really has room to be strengthened and put on the stage.
Finally, the story changes:
My overall evaluation is that the original version is honest, which is higher than the original version (this statement is different from the previous respondents, and I very much agree with the previous statement, which is higher than the original version. I will show it later). As a Jay fan, this overall evaluation is relatively high, for the following reasons:
First of all, this drama used more than a dozen Jay Chou songs in more than two hours. If the partner who has an image of the movie version can imagine for himself, if you want to choose more than a dozen songs from Jay Chou's numerous songs and put them in the movie, how difficult it will be to make the songs integrate into it by properly adapting the script. As a person who can sing all the songs in Jay Chou (including the kind that he got it right in one breath), I must have a list in my heart before the performance, but after reading it, the coincidence with what I expected was less than 6%, that is to say, I didn't do most of the same with a person who was familiar with Jay's songs.
Sunny Days, Nocturnal, I Want Summer, Nunchaku, Daoxiang, Grandpa's Tea, Rooftop, Cowboy Busy, Sailor Afraid of Water, these randomly listed songs are put into movies. One is that it is not easy to think of these songs, and the other is that the script has to be changed, so that the right songs can appear in specific segments, which is difficult. Personally, I think the play didn't disappoint me in this respect.
second: script adaptation: this has a slot, and the slot is almost the same as that written by the previous friend. In order to cut into the theme of the movie, the script is a bit far-fetched and mechanically applied. For example, some friends said that at first, I felt the same as them about the origin and function of the piano score, the fight against the piano and so on. However, I think this result is also without restraint. Because you and I have a deep-rooted impression of the movie, and this is changed from it, it is inevitable that we will take what we have seen and set the original version in the process of goal-setting. This kind of practice is not very desirable in the first place. To give a very rough example, it is difficult for the audience who like the 86 version of Journey to the West to take on the back remake and revision of Journey to the West. The principle is the same. The other is a movie and the other is a musical. The movie can tell a story in two hours, with a main line and a background, different seats and post-editing, and high production cost. One of the reasons why this musical makes the audience think that the lines are not clear and the plot is scattered is that I want the audience to think that my revised "Unspeakable Secret" is not nearly the original "Unspeakable Secret", and I want the audience to think that this is still different, and I have participated in more than ten songs. What is even more tense is that the performance of more than two hours is completely completed on the spot, and there is no mistake, no NG, no re-starting, and the audience's position is solid and the perspective is solid.
Although there are some commendable parts in the script, there are many grounded and close-to-survival scenes in the musical, such as spitting and smog, and some popular expressions, which make the audience think that they are close to you and me. At the same time, it changed the middle mind of the original version. The original version of the movie kept reporting the love story about Fanghua. Although the background is campus and the identity is a protege, it is important to talk about campus love. But the musical changed it, not only talking about love, but also friendship and affection. Some people will probably think that this is not a tampering with the original intention? Actually, I think this is an expansion and sublimation. If most of the audience are similar to my age, they will be less than 3 years old. According to the graduation from college, it is not a long time to leave the campus. Imagine seeing a group of young men and women wearing the same bold clothes on campus singing and dancing on the stage. What do you think as an audience? Will there be a sense of deja vu? If so, is it campus love that runs through your whole youth? Of course not, I probably talked about love secretly in high school, but I was accompanied by the friendship between my classmates, the friendship between teachers and students, the love of my parents, and the happy struggle for a certain goal. Therefore, there will be broadcast gymnastics (listen to mother's words), Ye Xianglun's father will climb to the terrace to chat with his son, there will be tea together in the restaurant (tea made by grandpa), there will be a scene where Xiaoyu and her mother are in the kitchen, there will be a mother to enlighten her daughter and convey positive energy (rice fragrance), and there will be a football game that won the game (nunchakus) without giving up in the environment of falling behind. In the process of containing the goal, many scenes of the city aroused my * * * sound and reminded me of Fanghua. During my protege, my parents encouraged me, enlightened me, and my teacher helped me to coach me. I also reversed from the state of falling behind in playing basketball. Of course, I also liked girls and handed notes to talk about love. In the adaptation of the plot, this drama shows some things I have experienced in a different way, and I enjoy it in the process of integrating goals.
Although generally speaking, I don't really appreciate some plots of the play, I may find reasons to convince myself, so that I can figure it out myself. Readers have their own ideas, which vary from person to person.
In the end, I thought it was a song: it didn't spoil my fun to see it again. It was definitely a song. One is that I was satisfied with listening to Jay Chou's songs for an afternoon at a low ticket price. The other is that if I imagine that these songs are all sung with Jay Chou's courage, I really can't see them in this play. Anyway, the picture of my brain supplement is very tragic. The production team has made great efforts in the adaptation of songs, and many parts of songs are performed by male and female actors respectively. I'm not a music major, so I can't evaluate singing and adaptation from a professional point of view. I just listen to it from my appreciation. Some songs are really nice to sing with different voices and harmonies. Of course, when you can understand every word of Jay Chou's songs, you will think it is strange.
Based on the above advantages and the reasons why it is not enough to find, I think that the musical is based on various plots of the original honest movie, and some beautiful songs are properly added, and some other scenes that the movie does not have are created: for example, Ye Xianglun had tea with his father, and his father ran to the roof. In the end, Ye Xianglun saved Xiaoyu with a respirator and brought it back. Of course, it gives people a wonderful idea in terms of people's design and plot, but if there is no comparison with the original version, I will think it is not bad, and it is also a happy result for the movie version of "Unspeakable Secret". So I'd say it's higher than the original, and that's why.
There are so many empty words, and the final evaluation is not enough. I thought I could go and have a look. It is ok to spend more than 1 tickets, and it is not worth spending more than 4 tickets (I refer to the official seat pricing in the middle of Tianqiao Art). Actors don't have big names, their acting skills are just as normal, and the stage is just like that. If you listen to the music, I think there is no problem sitting in the box on the second floor. If we put aside the score of Jay complex, this musical is the qualified edge, and if Jay black scores it, it is expected to be lower and lower.
If you give a little encouragement to the audience of Shanghai Market, it means that if there is no compulsion, don't compare movies with musicals; if there is compulsion, don't compare yourself; if there is severe compulsion, just spit it out.
I think that to appreciate a drama, we should just start from it. It will always be fairer and more realistic to treat a work without imposing extra reasons. I don't like to see that the adapted musical is defined as a bad play because of the existence of the original version rather than its own reasons. Imagine if there is no shadow version, can you and I be a musical? Generally speaking, if Jay Chou is allowed to adapt it himself, it may not be as good as this version.
Btw: I'm a good citizen. To be a civilized person in the theater, I can't speak loudly or make a noise at will. But because of this reason, it's really very important that you can't sing along with Jay's songs when you hear them! No! Cool!
