The creative track of combining tradition with modernity is a road full of contradictions

Ren Ming once made a conclusion about his creative track when interviewed by another newspaper. He said that he took the road of combining tradition with modernity. Tradition and modernity, a pair of seemingly contradictory things, make it difficult for me to understand how he blended the two. But Ren Ming answered very readily: "There are many contradictory things in me. I have many traditional things, such as the tradition of culture, the tradition of human art and the tradition of understanding drama; But I am also a person living in modern society, and I have many realistic things on me. This combination is reflected in the plays I rehearse. "

It's really hard to locate Ren Ming as a director by looking through his plays. He has very traditional and Beijing-flavored plays, such as Uncle Beijing, Antiques and Goldfish Pond. There are realistic and absurd plays, such as Waiting for Godot. There are also fashionable and youthful plays, such as First Intimate Contact; At the same time, he also arranges very rigorous and pure drama plays, such as Football Club.

Ren Ming said, "When I rehearse traditional drama, it is not only traditional things, but also modern people's thinking. And the thinking of modern people has a great historical background. " Perhaps rehearsing the drama provides an opportunity and a stage for Ren Ming to integrate the contradiction between his own tradition and reality. Ren Ming declared that he was an absolute nationalist, but he felt deeply sad because of this. "Sometimes walking on the streets of Beijing, if there are no ancient buildings, I feel like Tokyo, Hongkong, Taiwan Province, new york and Los Angeles. Global integration, even the integration of people's thinking, seems to be the only way to modernize. "

Drama is an art, but the theater needs to survive and be commercialized. This is the contradiction!

It seems that the contradiction has always accompanied Ren Ming. As the vice president of People's Arts, he can't ignore the commercial interests of the theater. "I also hope that my theater can attract a large number of audiences and my play will be prosperous." On the other hand, as a creator, Ren Ming hopes that he is not a producer who is kept at the door by the buyer. He hopes to create very quietly without external interference. We repeatedly asked how to resolve this contradiction, and he sighed helplessly: "This is the contradiction between my career and my heart, which is my sorrow." Ren Ming envied writers who could "hide in a small building and become unified", and when he wanted to create, he began to hide. "I hope my work is creation rather than production. I hope the play can sell a high income, but its artistic gold content should also be high. If the gold content is not high, no matter how well it sells, it will only be a product of commercialization. "

ups and downs with people's art * * * are most worried that people's art will fall into their own hands

In the whole interview, Ren Ming has been reckless about his national pride, his pride in people's art, and he said that the person he admires most is * * *. Why? He said: "* * * is proud of everything in China, and * * * has a fearless spirit." Just as Renyi was about to enter the threshold of knowing destiny, Ren Ming also proudly said to us, "I am the son of Renyi, and I am willing to watch for Renyi, and I am willing to rise and fall with Renyi. If I were not a dean, but just a director, I would also like to do it together with people's art. People's art will make me happy, and people's art will die. If one day I'm finished, I'll be devastated, and then I won't do drama. I am most worried that people's art is not done well in our generation. "

Ren Ming often said, I am the son of Renyi, and Renyi has ancestors. Several generations of artists have created Renyi style all their lives. I want to be a firm successor and defender of this style. The task of our generation is first to inherit, second to develop, and to seek development and innovation on the basis of inheritance. Although "South Courtyard of North Street" is about the background of SARS, the characters should stand firm, the lines should be catchy, and the Beijing flavor should be authentic. Ren Ming once again pushed himself to a desperate situation.

Ren Ming is a director and vice president of the people's arts department. Talking about his two roles, Ren Ming said that to be a director, the richer you are, the better your imagination is. To manage is to be more rational, comprehensive and objective. Despite his position, Ren Ming's innate bookishness cannot be erased. Drama is the love of his life.

the youngest vice president in the history of people's arts

In 1994, Ren Ming became the vice president of people's arts, the youngest vice president in the history of people's arts. As an artist, how does he manage a team dominated by artists? Ren Ming summed up three points: first, respect; The second is to understand; Third, be tolerant. Artists must be supported and cared for. Artistic needs are angular. You must allow them to have fierce ideas and take care of their personalities. As a director, Ren Ming fully understands them; As a manager, it is to provide them with an environment and let them play their talents. Being kind to others and having a strong affinity is a major feature of Ren Ming as a manager. He admits that there will be contradictions in everything, especially in artistic work. But another feature of this work is its clear conclusion. There are only two possibilities, "yes" and "no", whether it is to choose a play or an actor, and there is no third option. But before drawing a conclusion, we must have full communication with each other and give each other a "statement" instead of drawing a conclusion directly. Ren Ming mainly reads two kinds of books now: art and management. He said, "Half of my books are about management." Referring to the greatest experience learned from the book, Ren Ming feels that as a manager, he must have two points: first, he must have the spirit of persistence; The second is compromise. As a manager, we should not only understand the importance of persistence, but also understand the art of compromise. In his view, everything must be compromised, and his job is to find a balance between the two forever. Ren Ming said that his balance point is: adhere to the highest interests of the theater and compromise his own personal interests. Ren Ming's motto is "Being just without desire". As a manager, in his opinion, you can do your job well in a very simple way, that is "giving up". There is an interesting saying in Renyi: If something "drives Ren Ming into a hurry", that means there is something really wrong with it. Ren Ming said slowly that absolute justice does not exist, but as long as you don't seek personal gain in your work, as long as you let go of your personal gain, it will be much simpler to do anything again. Moreover, "if I do things for my own benefit, I will not be able to sleep". Although he has been vice president for 1 years, Ren Ming still defines himself as: "My lifelong hobby is directing." He said, "Directing is an eternity to me. I love this major, and I will never give up directing. " Being a manager seems to him to be temporary. As vice president, sooner or later, there will be a day of resignation; As a director, as long as he is willing, he will have his own stage to play his role at any time. North Street South Yard

Since realizing the life ideal of "being a director in Beijing", Ren Ming has been practicing the drama ideal of "harmoniously unifying traditional beauty and modern beauty on the drama stage". This time, South Courtyard of North Street is no exception-the characters are the soul of the drama, and the performance is the core of the stage. Grasping these two points, the play will look good, and the lines are the most important to make the characters look good. This is the most competitive point of Ren Ming in the rehearsal field of "North Street South Courtyard" in recent days. "Telling the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times" is the main theme of the whole play. "Uncle Beijing" performance stills Uncle Beijing

Screenwriter: Zhong Yingjie

Director: Ren Ming

Design: Wu Qiong, Li Guo and Zhang Qiuchun

The drama tells the story of the Manchu Deren family in Beijing. His quadrangle is located in a good location in Beijing, with a wide courtyard, quiet in the middle, and often uninvited guests come to visit each other and want to buy a house for business. Ke Deren's personality is honest and frank, and he is strong-willed. He thinks that the yard is an industry handed down by his ancestors, and it is not for sale. But the sons and daughters have their own opinions, and outsiders are also trying to make a small courtyard ... With the development of the plot in the play, a story of joy and sadness is drawn around the courtyard house where the banner people have lived for generations in this traditional family. The drama "Uncle Beijing" by Beijing People's Art Theatre directly shows a meaningful mentality of Beijingers in the tide of commodity economy. ? Lotus

choreographer: Zou Jingzhi

director: Ren Ming, Xu Ang

Stage design: Wu Qiong's main actors: Chen Xiaoyi, Gu Zhixin, Yan Yansheng, Zhang Pei, Zhang Wankun, Yang Jiayin Jungle, Yin Wei, Zou Jian, Lei Jia Ban Zan, etc. The stills of Lotus are different from the previous dramas. The first act of Lotus is the final ending of the whole story, and the second, third and fourth acts are gradually flashbacks, and the fifth act is.

Director Ren Ming expressed his views on this structure, believing that this is the innovation of Lotus, which will win the audience's love.

Ren Ming said: "Although Lotus is a play in the Republic of China, its significance is not limited to the times, and it can have certain social significance when rehearsed in various periods. The flashback structure is a new place for this play, and the focus of this play is on shaping characters. It will be a very Beijing-style play with Beijing people's artistic style. In terms of dance beauty, we will show it in a freehand way. " Wet paint

This three-act world comedy was created by French writer René Fauchova at the beginning of last century. This time, to commemorate the 115th anniversary of Ou Yangyuqian's birth, Beijing People's Art once again explained that the classic play Wet Paint is a model for explaining the "Three Uniforms".

"For kindness, I salute you" is the audience's comment after the first performance of the play. As director Ren Ming said, "Today's audience is very intelligent. Compared with the 193s and 198s, people have different world views and values. We can't impose an opinion on you, just present it to the audience, and hope that everyone can get an understanding according to their own life experiences. " People can suppress and overcome their greed and strive for true beauty. In any case, it is always worthy of our high-five praise.
