Zhiqiang, president of the National Drama Academy: We're going to be the star's first agent.

Zhiqiang in office less than two years, the Chinese national drama Academy Dean Zhiqiang "Director" of the great changes in the country.　　The first omni-directional "producer system" was launched in the National Academy, and all the actors had renewed the new contract, the first "performance season" and the public welfare "summer Culture Square" were launched; all-star lineup "generations" 35 performances of the box-office receipts more than more than 13 million ... In the 2011, the upheaval will continue: the state will move into the "new home"; this year is also the "National drama Academy 2011 new Realism Year", will be for Wang Xiao, Chamingjie, Jinghui, Tian Qin Xin and Wu Xiaojiang, such as five national famous director of Representative performances, and launched their series of new drama "Deep Burns", "Ask Boundless", "　　New Old woman returning to the native ", living" ... At the beginning of the year, looking at the ruins of the office window is demolition, imagining the upcoming "New Home", the country's "big parents" Zhiqiang heartfelt regrets: "The national drama Academy, is the home of all artists!"　　"Interview the National Theater to be a star first agent Reporter:" You come to the country time although not long, but the country words change very much. Zhiqiang: This is our team's credit, is the basis of the previous Dean, they gave me a very good talent base, work must not. The theatre is the crystal of the artist, and the greatest wealth of the nation is the group of artists.　　This is not to be ignored by any reform.　　Journalist: But artists are also the hardest to manage. Zhiqiang: That's! I'm also an actress, and I don't want to get into this business. But why do I accept the bundle?　　First of all, I'm a party member, which is decisive, and more importantly, you have to understand what you do.　　Reporter: Before your arrival, the country is in a "free-range" state, and you are outward to the state of the words, just came to the country when the idea? Zhiqiang: I just came to the country when the most annoying to hear a word, is decorate to which personnel what task, the first sentence is: "elder brother, I see your face!" "The Lake language!" In fact, my own character is also a lake, the river is a feeling between people, an emotional exchange.　　But a modern theater, a national theater, by the rivers and lakes to manage the words, it is finished!　　Journalist: What would you do to manage the modern national theater? Zhiqiang: 2009 We engaged in the actor training class, I said the most emotional word is: "We theatre must build their own culture!" "A unit without culture will not be promising, and this culture is also a common understanding of the code of conduct." When I first came to China, the theatre lacked a real culture. Beijing art culture on the four words: "Drama than Big", in front of these four words, anyone has become so small. And what about our country? It's "I'm bigger than that"! Anyone can say, "I'm making 1 million!" "Brother, I am hundreds of thousands of are all thrown away for you!" "That's what I'm most furious about!" he said. You do not call my brother, also don't look at my face, is the state of the actor will have to contribute to the country, for the country to do your jobAccountability！　　Reporter: What changes now? Zhiqiang: Luckily, all of us in the theatre are very cute, they still look at the national dialect than what "elder brother" important, this is my last two years to take office the deepest feeling. As long as you make the truth clear, tell us not to see what I Zhiqiang face, but to think of the country as our home, is our platform, is the Republic drama eldest son, is the Chinese theater industry "aircraft carrier". This is not by any individual can unite, but by the sense of responsibility to gather together.　　It is precisely because of this awareness, only this two years to the state of the great changes, this is also let me the most gratifying place.　　Journalist: What actions do you have on the specific measures of State administration? Zhiqiang: For the first time in our National academy, we have fully introduced the full meaning of the producer, and theatre management has been propelled by the producers. This is a liability system, where the management Association and responsibility are linked, there is no responsibility for the management. I introduced the producer system in 1995 when I was working in Chinese children's arts. The Director cannot undertake the task of the responsible person, he only has the energy to be responsible for the artistic aspect, but in the management, the economic responsibility, each kind of social duty, needs the producer to undertake these important tasks.　　But the producer is not synonymous with happiness, he means suffering, dedication, bear, risk, difficult, hard-working ...　　Journalist: There are more mature producers in the country, what is different now? Zhiqiang: Now our producers are different from the previous concepts. Chinese producers have a double meaning: domestically, we have a real responsibility system, responsible for the state, responsible for state funds and resources, and for the first time in international terms, the producer responsible for public ownership. There is no such mechanism in the world, so it is really difficult! How to complete the producer system under such social and institutional characteristics is a new subject for us.　　More gratifying is that, after a year of operation, the national language producer system results.　　Journalist: Is there a new requirement and restriction on the management of the actors? Zhiqiang: Of course. The actors all signed up again. There are two kinds of contracts in the past, and they are also the actors of the state, but they are different tasks. One is the film and television actor contract, can not undertake any theater stage tasks, the other is the stage actor contract. And once the stage actor in the film and television on the small famous, immediately and the state to sign into a film and television contract, you can not assume the performance of the theatre mission. It makes people very angry! What makes a film actor's Cradle? Since January 2010, two contracts have been amended to form a contract, with the formal introduction of new actor contracts.　　The new contract has two core terms, first, the National Theatre is the actor's first agent, other brokers we do not rule out, but as long as the state of the actor, first of all to listen to the first broker; second, as the National Theater of Drama, the completion of the theatre mission, the national task is a statutory obligation, no reason not to complete　　Reporter: Is there any change in the terms of the contract and no longer signed with the state? Zhiqiang: Only one personHence the withdrawal of the state. Including Zhang Ziyi, Honglei, the national dialect 260 actors all signed, of which more than 60 first-line stars, this is a huge wealth ah! In the past, the 60 stars could not afford the theatre's mission. But the state of the actors are very Xiao Da Yi, not only signed and earnestly fulfill their commitment to the country. Honglei to participate in the "Generations" Beijing debut, ADO temporarily left the filming of the "Men help" cast. Zhang Ziyi's attitude is also ready to return to the theatre, as long as the appropriate script and role. "Generations" has such a star lineup, but also with practical action on the country's response. I think this is not only on the black and white contract, or on the sense of responsibility of everyone, the contract is only a wake-up and normative role.　　Our actors are not because of looking at my face back, but in response to the role of national drama culture, this is the greatest charisma, let me the most touching is this. feature to build new theater seat Comfort Zhiqiang president of the country, but also face a very difficult task, this is the National Drama Institute will relocate this year to Guang ' an outside new site.　　With the new theater, the new theater, but to say goodbye to the current golden lot, familiar with the environment, for all the people, are sad and mixed feelings. How to attract viewers to the "new home" of the national dialect? How to make the National people have a sense of belonging to the new environment? All this needs the Dean's careful consideration. This is not a difficult problem for the Zhiqiang, who has presided over the Chinese children's Theatre, the National Grand Theater and the State Museum construction. As soon as Zhiqiang took office, he carefully studied the design of the new National Theatre and found many problems at once. What made him most dissatisfied was that the auditorium was only 92 centimeters away. "I was responsible for the construction of the Chinese children's theatre, when the auditorium was 92 centimeters apart, is this the second children's Theatre we're building today?" "Zhiqiang is difficult to suppress the emotion, because in his head in charge of the National Theater construction, the most painful experience is to meet the theater audience number, can only sacrifice a certain degree of comfort, two-storey three-storey auditorium is too narrow, only 90 centimeters." So he immediately ordered to amend the National dialect New Theater Auditorium design. "The audience to see the play, the stage on the show to be wonderful, to watch the environment is also comfortable, the theater must meet these two requirements." At last it took a lot of effort to change the whole structure to more than 95 centimeters, which meant that a 1.84-meter-size audience like me would be able to watch the play comfortably. Although spent a lot of money, but I think the value! "People-oriented" is not only reflected in the treatment of the audience, but also in the Zhiqiang of the country's words. "The original design does not have too many human considerations, the office area even the boiling water is not, the theater backstage also does not have the shower room." The actor worked hard all night, sweating, let them take the sweaty home? No one thinks of these details. I found these problems, and now it's all settled, shower room, restaurant, all have. "The most troubling thing to him is the new stateThe location of the site is not ideal. "We are at a disadvantage in the new theater site," he said. The theater site should be popular, commercial gas, Wenqi, and our new theater site is ' no gas ', surrounded by residential buildings, is a ' sleeping city '. What to do? You have to ' build gas '! "Zhiqiang has taken three major measures, first, to transform a rehearsal into a small theater of more than 300 people, so as to become a small two-stage theater, forming a community of theatres; second, to change the surrounding environment facilities of the theater, so that the audience pleasing, forming a certain cultural environment; third, to expand the original design of the floor space, Built car park and cultural consumption square. "Only to facilitate the people to see the play, can develop the habit of watching the play, cultivate the solidarity of drama affinity." "This May 18, the opening of the new National Theatre will be staged in the all-star lineup of the generations."　　Not only the Taiwan staged is the "home" story, Zhiqiang also specially to engage in a "star Home" special event, inviting all actors in this day to return to the "new home" to the new home "warm pot."　　At the same time as the construction of the new theater, Zhiqiang also did a surprise to everyone, that is, in the face of demolition of the old theater site built a rehearsal field. "It takes at least a year or two for the new theatre to be built, but the two years cannot be developed or done," he said. Zhiqiang that the most fatal thing in the past was the creation and light performance. When I took office, I thought, with so many talents in the country, it is the crystal of the artist and must radiate the crystal light. So what? By play, by performance. So Zhiqiang immediately planned the national speech performance season as a platform, to launch a large number of plays in a short time. But the courtyard of the country is full of weeds, only a rehearsal field, inside the soil is half an inch thick. So many plays and no venues? "I'm going to make a play. If you need 10 plays, you have to rehearse 10 of them, and if you rent a rehearsal field outside, each 500,000 will cost 5 million." I have done so many years theater construction, a temporary construction how much money I know, the result I spent 1 million to two big rehearsal, a staff canteen, plus training base, as well as an open Performance Center office area, are built up. "The benefits of these 1 million are not measured by money, it changes the face of the entire national Theatre and changes the way the country is produced." Two temporary rehearsals have been built every day since 2009, and the crew is rushing to use them. Without these two rehearsals, the generations of the big crew rehearsal could not have been imagined. The National Speech Performance Center also because has the office base, from the original 3 people expands for now 28 people, completed from the Repertoire planning, the promotion, the courtyard line construction to the ticketing marketing four paragraph union work pattern, undertook the artistic production the entire flow.　　The original country words no staff canteen, everyone lunch is very inconvenient, now all solved. The ability of the manager of the notes the artist's heart to interview the President Zhiqiang this day, he had just attended the state of the old veteran gatheringWill, with a little bit of abuse, words are also more full of passion, but the mind is as always sober and calm. He was the earliest producer of Chinese children's art, had built China's first Chinese version of the Broadway musical "Beauty and the Beast", but also in charge of the National Grand Theater's construction function, the State Museum of Reconstruction and expansion project, including the current reform of the National Theatre ... Zhiqiang, who calls himself "the old pioneer team Leader", has experienced a lot of difficult and pioneering events. But he said, "in this industry to fight for so many years, no experience, all is a lesson!" Doing things now is nothing more than to avoid the lessons, leaving behind is a good experience. "He is also a famous voice actor," Patton in General Barton, "Shawshank Redemption" in Red, "The hero of the Lion," Vincent, "Lord of the Rings" in the Gandalf ... His character has the artist's side, the disposition is forthright, likes drinking, regardless of the speech or the wording, all carries a kind of poetic and heroic. He admits that his character has a sort of "rivers and lakes", but also with all the people engaged in the art of freedom, not like the constraints.　　However, as a "veteran new soldier" came to the country, the management of the modern state-owned theater, he is the most annoying "rivers and lakes", the new government took the "three fire" on the original "free-range" state of the country to recuperate the old vitality. and the reasonable transformation of the former theater site, the New theater design scheme "people-oriented" carefully modified, it embodies the zhiqiang of the bold and meticulous. No wonder the people say, Zhou Yuan, the country is more like home.
