Lin trillion Hua "profile" Lin trillion Hua, 1936 was born in Tianjin, Beijing People's Art theater director, 1984-1998 Beijing Art Deputy Dean. He is currently the director of the Theatre Institute of Peking University.　　Directing the drama "Absolute signal" to create a small theater drama, and then the creation of "Hamlet" "Wo Tou Guild" "Master of Architecture" and more than 60 plays, the artistic value is extremely high.　　"Pioneer Quotations" ★ It is difficult to tell the truth in art, art also has a bad play.　　★ If you want to express things, others do not let the expression, I play a little cunning, playing a little edge.　　★ I think our stage is too much like "drama", Our play is too "drama".　　"Author" "International Herald Herald" reporter Chen Shelian from Beijing "Big Guide" Lin trillion Hua fell. This unexpected scene, on the stage of the Capital Theatre-"Hamlet 1990" 20 years after the replay, he took the curtain call, so firmly fell, starring Pu hurriedly from behind hold him, Smooth said: "He has more than 70 years old."　　At this time, the audience's applause was louder and more enthusiastic. Lin trillion Wah 74 years old, he has guided the drama is also almost this number.　　He is "drama loyal", is not the old man, "live to Old Platoon (play) to the old" words, of course, also said, and did. He retired, but was art dismissals, last year, not only the launch of the new "home" and "lobbyist", but also at the end of the year to host the first exhibition, "Architectural Master" "lobbyist", "Hamlet 1990" and other 6 local dramas and 1 foreign drama, the drama stage in Beijing to bring surprises and warmth.　　Next, he will be with the Chinese starting network to find online writers, will "three words and two beat" into a modern awakening record, moved on stage. As the most popular drama director in China rehearsing Shakespeare, the "Hamlet", which was directed by Lin Zhao Hua in the 1990 's, created a hundreds of-metre-long performance record for the ticketing team. 20 years later, he set up a drama studio not only repeat this classic, and the first time as a folk drama agency to invite the German version of Hamlet to Beijing performance. Lin Zhao Hua daughter Groves told the International Herald leader, the father thought that the official invite the play not to have the standard, cannot let the audience understand now foreign drama real development level. This time the audience will be able to appreciate the charm of the drama from the contrast between the different interpretations of the same repertoire.　　He even said that his invitation to the German version was actually a critique of himself.　　International Herald Leader: What is the meaning of this inaugural invitation exhibition for the development of the Chinese opera? Lin trillion Hua: There is a historical relationship, in 1987, I went to the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg, Germany, to perform the screenplay of Gao Xingjian, my directed drama "Savage", when very few Asian directors were rehearsing in Europe, I had a friendly relationship with the theater, I invited the director of the Thalia Theatre Frim to Beijing art to rehearse the German writer Georg • Bisina's "Woyzeck" (wo). Now, IInvite Rouck Passeval's Hamlet to Art, and in early 2011 I will go to the Thalia Theater to perform two of my new play, "lobbyist".　　I hope that even if I am not here, this drama invitation show can continue to do so. It is not easy to draw the German version of Hamlet into the country after all these years. Sino-German cultural cooperation should be a matter for the state. Our country invited the Royal Shakespeare troupe to Beijing to perform there are three programs, I did a survey, two are not the Royal Shakespeare Troupe. This time, "Hamlet" please come, in fact, I was a thought, the Chinese theater industry is only completed the interpretation of the drama, not to engage in stage art, so the director of the understanding of the drama is one of the stages, particularly valuable. Our drama experts, our drama doctors, our drama professors, would like you to take a look at them.　　This "Hamlet" is very good, Luke placed in the midst of that singing voice, I first time in Hamburg, feel the sound of the sky.　　Q: Is there any way to push your apprentice to hold this invitation exhibition? A: One is performing the PU, one is to engage in stage art Iriming, no apprentice, artistic creation cannot teach.　　I do it by instinct, I am not a diligent person, when I play, rational thinking just plays a moderating role, and intuition works for me.　　Q: What's the difference between your "Hamlet" and the German version? A: I've been to see two times, "Hamlet", the play is exciting me, so I invited him to stimulate the Chinese theater industry. Although I do not know German, but I feel that brooks than I am contemporary and pioneer, my version is also more traditional.　　I am not in the play of Shakespeare, but the contemporary play, actors have no clothes or makeup, usually what, on the stage on what.　　Q: What are your expectations for the lobbyist's performance in Germany? A: I certainly hope to succeed, I also have confidence. The play is very interesting, it is said that Confucius students gong out of their own national interests to persuade other countries not to attack their country, he was to protect his country, the result of tongue caused the four countries war. The play is not that serious historical drama, clothing is also the ancient costume of the contemporary, not pure ancient, coupled with folk performances and funny music, hope to be in the bickering ridicule to make people laugh while also leaving more room for thinking.　　The play has a worldwide theme, not only meaningful to the Chinese people, but also meaningful to the Germans. q:1989, you successfully rehearsed Hamlet, the Munich festival in Germany called the Chinese Ministry of Culture, invited you to take part in the opera, but because the play belongs to the "self-employed" production and was officially rejected.　　And this time your studio became the first folk drama studio to invite foreign drama units, how do you feel about this historical echo? A: I have no sense of history, I just do this thing is over. Was rejected is inevitable, further communication is inevitable, now is a must overcome another inevitable, communication is unstoppable. But the world IThe nature is also a lot of things are happened by accident, the first is the Ministry of Culture said "lobbyist" This theme is very good, but also Germany has a fancy to the play. Forever the strange smell of beans Lin Zhao Hua has been good at subversion of tradition, the courage to do unconventional posture for the Chinese and foreign theater people admire. Film critic Liming that his work has a very modern style, but with the Chinese classical drama has a spiritual undertaking. Professional drama actor Pu also described the drama of Lin trillion Hua: "Not to please, not to suggestions, not to show off, like Zen, is a kind of original." "In 1982, he directed the" absolute signal "to break the rule of China for many years of" realism "aesthetics, is considered to be the symbol of the emergence of contemporary Chinese avant-garde, the play also led the Chinese small theater performance trend. "Absolute signal" in the art on the first floor of the small rehearsal "internal performance" after the end, eight or nine minutes no one to speak, Lin trillion is too nervous to breathe. At this time, the old actor Tianchong said, Beijing people like to eat a kind of iron broad beans, sweet crisp peas; there is a strange smell in Sichuan. We will take this play as a taste of beans to eat, in fact, also good. So far, Lin trillion has been very impressed by this remark.　　In fact, in the eyes of many art, Lin trillion Hua is always a smelly bean. From the absolute signal, he and his partner, Gao Xingjian, began the idea of the so-called "all-round drama". 1985 Gao Xingjian created "savage", the whole play wrote up and down thousands of years, the epoch-making, looking for savages, Chongqing, folklore, love-not through the story and characters, a few lines on the stage parallel to unfold. Lin trillion hua Pai "savage" when there is no theory in mind, but there is a concept of production, that is: the stage there is nothing can not be behaved.　　He once said, "If I can express one's consciousness flow on the stage, the stage will become free space." After a long walk abroad, Gao Xingjian since the 90 's, he has collaborated with the most representative playwright of China, "bird Man, Alive or dead," and his style of writing tends to be diversified, including realism-style drama, Avantgarde Theater, opera and opera. It has its own drama democracy, that is, let the audience choose the drama, not the theater to choose the audience. He always said, "There are few dramas today that reflect the times." "Hamlet 1990" later in the replay, Haina Miller at the end of add a line, from his favorite German dramatist, "Shakespeare's Machine": "I do not want to eat, drink, breathe, love a woman, a man, a child." ...... I want to be a machine, hand is to take things, legs is to walk. No pain, no thought.　　"This is where we are now," said Lin trillion. In 2010, he and the writers of the new play "Home" is a year over five of Alzheimer's disease patients face the social confusion and the same. The work is full of thinking and examining the present society: the world is stuffed with material, the spirit is entertained to death, the appetite is corrupted by gutter oil, the flesh is destroyed by melamine; the world is interconnected, the heart lock is encrypted; global warming, peopleThe heart has become cold; diploma needs to buy and sell, graduation equals unemployment, no money there is no house certificate, no room will not want to get a marriage license; Great, can't afford a living, death glorious, can't afford cemetery ...　　The folk discourse style's humorous absurd and the cold ridicule, is full of the intense fervor entering the WTO sentiment. Another ancient new play "lobbyist", it tells the Confucian of the glib tongue, lobbying Zhou not to attack the country, but caused the countries to fight. In his opinion, "the whole is Gu Zhaojin." "It's worth thinking about how we should inherit Confucius." "Angry dramatist writer Zhang Yi and once said," If a country's art falls into the trough, I think the first is the human breath, the loss of artistic breath, is the writer, the artist exudes casual, moist, natural, leisurely, detached cultural state of loss. And I just think that Lin trillion-hua body casual, natural, detached still, but the personality, the era of the atmosphere, he is not moist enough, but increasingly angry. "And in a small forum on the scene of a Rouck Passeval dialogue," alive "or" dead ", we saw a gunpowder-flavored rage" great guide. " He criticized the current art policy and Art Education: "The drama actor was hit very badly by the film and television, now the young people's creative passion, the drama Spirit is gone, I now also not many." "We have an intangible ideology there, we are now criticizing the content of the play, a more funny, more than the content of the play, the newspaper never criticized." Dissatisfaction with the times and politics is also implicit in his lines. In "Hamlet 1990" rehearsal scene, Pu read a line: "Would rather leave a foul epitaph, also not in life to make people sarcastic." Then, if he realizes: "It's a regular thing for artists to taunt politicians, but it's not allowed now." That's what this is about!　　Q: Do you have any guidelines or philosophical thinking when directing a play? A: Filming is what I have to say, and of course every director and actor has his own thinking. I do not go to rehearsals according to a certain philosophical genre or drama genre, nor do I follow ideology. In the face of literature, I felt something in my heart and I expressed it.　　I only row to impress me here (hand touch heart part) thing, only row I want to row of play.　　Q: Will the act be censored now? A: There is no review now, but he wants to control you, he will say "change", do not change he won't let you play Ah, I will make appropriate compromises, appropriate compromise is necessary. It's hard to tell the truth in art, and art has a bad play.　　For me, if you want to express things, others do not let the expression, play a little cunning, playing a little edge.　　Q: In the competition with other art forms, what is your Outlook on Chinese drama? A: Europe has long been tested by film and television dialogues. I am very pessimistic about the development of Chinese drama, but now there are many dramas in China. The young director is very many, now every year Chinese drama performance has more than 100 million.　　Drama is always expensive art, art is expensive. YearsThe light old urchin, Lin trillion hua is a thin, gray hair, because love snacks and lack of a few teeth hale and hearty elderly.　　In the talk, you can feel the drama "cultural Godfather" body of the majesty and cordial, even if the lanky aging still have not unwilling passion and idealism. "He is a young man," said Cao Yu, a master of drama, Zhaohua. His heart, his feelings, his creations are young, his play, often make me excited, moved, ViiV, sometimes also confused ... "The Big Guide is full of wrinkles, but the mind is full of young," said Jinghui, a drama director. "Unlike the theatrical stage of splendor, the life of the Lins retains some deep-rooted habits, he does not drink, smoke or play cards, the daily breakfast is the same as the sticky, every day before going to bed meditation meditation for half an hour, in addition to occasional look at the readings outside, is a rehearsal." He said: "No rehearsal, I do not know what I can do?"　　Q: How did you get on the road of drama director? A: Before I read the Drama Academy, I saw little drama. At that time, the Academy of Drama was asked for a low cultural score, and I was not good at school, so I wanted to go to college, so I went to the theatre. Then I have been doing this, is interest, I am not responsible for drama.　　I have no responsibility to contribute to the drama cause of the motherland, so I will do my own thing.　　Q: You are pursuing the creative state of freedom, but freedom is relative, so what is it that prevents you from creating it? A: Mainly their own, their creative spirit is not missing, I am now old, the spirit is missing.　　Young actors have to find out again, but harder, and I hope to have good actors like Pu.　　Q: Have you ever thought how to attract young people to see your play, so that more young people want to understand, participate in your play activities? A: I am not the older generation drama people, the old generation is art, I did not want to attract young people, if my audience, he did not look at it, I do not care, on the self eliminated. My studio has a box office pressure, I don't care, I'm only in charge of rehearsals. But some of my plays are just young people like.　　Now young people to see more drama, to see the city emotional drama, funny entertainment, also see Jinghui drama, I think all is good, should look at, see more than less optimistic. I have not seen the play for three or four years, they love how to play, who love how to see. Like to see, do not like to see, it is over. But I think our stage is so much like "drama" that our drama is so much like drama.　　I want to realize the ideals that I had in the 1980 's, I want to do-no performance, not drama, no director.　　Q: What do you think the Ancients said "70 and Conter"?　　A: I have no opinion, this is the natural law, not accept also have to accept, old is old. Interview notes: "International Herald Herald" article Empty Beijing Art rehearsal, is in the middle side three red sofa chair, silhouetted against the paint mottled mahogany floor, Lin trillion hua (nickname "Big Guide", Lin trillion Hua is to smile because of oneself old and bigger) and "queen actor" Pu and "Queen stage" Iriming three people are receiving a magazine interview. "You are nihilism. "Big Guide suddenly dozen paragraph Iriming words, Iriming with him, Pu advised Zhaohua:" Don't be angry, later you also don't say oneself is a drama director. "The latter part of the interview, he increasingly absent-minded, in Pu answer questions with Iriming said small words, and even interview clearance to leave his seat in rehearsal stroll a circle before going back. This morning followed by an interview with the German Hamburg Evening News reporter, who imitated the German language of the journalist, turned to me with a grimace and said, "German is the worst, and the translation is much longer than Chinese."　　Waiting for the gap between the interpreter, he walked away again-the original is unable to suppress to instruct the actor to rehearse. "The triangle is bigger. Answering the question, he suddenly shouted at the three actors who were standing in the back of the rehearsal. Now he is in the rehearsal field neither reprimand scold, also do not publicize, "basically do not guide". The German correspondent said she had never met a director in Germany who was interviewed on the sidelines of the rehearsal, and that on that day the Great guide was able to be coaxed to sign on the cover of 100 postcards while rehearsing. Her daughter, Groves, said he would not have received so many media interviews if it had not been the first time that the exhibition had been an invitation to the Chinese drama.
