But the four actors stopped performing... The suspense drama is about to start on stage | Prince River | Actors
"How could there be a chicken checking tickets?" Before the audience of "Very Suspense" entered, the ticket inspector wearing a huge cartoon headset checked the tickets, and the show had actually begun. The late audience cannot see the "Easter egg" before the opening, and the missed happiness and plot preparation cannot be compensated for. Starting from June 8th, Wang Zichuan's screenplay and director's "Very Suspense" appeared on the YOUNG Theater's "Green Box" stage, opening its Shanghai residency.
A suspense drama that hoped the audience would leave the theater with a smile immediately began. Due to the strike of four actors, the director was in a difficult situation and tried his best to persuade theater volunteers to perform together with him. The opening bell rang, and no one knew what would happen in the suspense drama. From changing the lines and freely expressing themselves, to questioning the world and self, volunteers broke away from the original script set by the director and began to freely express themselves - this "atypical suspenseful and magical comedy" premiered in 2012 and has appeared in over 500 shows so far. Ten years after its release, the drama was brought back to the stage with a brand new cast, led by Gulou Xi and Prince Chuan. Jin Guangfa and Sun Lueyang, Li Jialong and Wang Chenhao, two sets of Karshi, each performed in different styles.
The comedy short video "Artist Jin Guangfa" with a total of 50 billion views on the internet, created by actor Jin Yan as a theater volunteer, has become the biggest highlight of the debut lineup of this version of "Very Suspense". His relaxed, natural, and highly enjoyable performance kept the audience laughing incessantly. Sun Lueyang, an actor from the Drum Tower Western Theater Troupe who plays as the director, has a stage image that resembles Prince Zichuan and has his own unique performance style, bringing surprises to the audience.
Wang Zichuan's debut feature film "Man Long Day" was nominated for the Asian Newcomer Unit at the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Jubilee Awards, winning four nominations in one go. With a background in drama directing, he returned from the film set to the rehearsal stage and gained a new understanding of stage performance. "The fun of the performance rhythm is largely dependent on the performance of 'Very Suspense'. Every actor needs to find the correct performance rhythm in order for this play to be successful. Now, the actors have a very high overall completion rate, which will bring new feelings to everyone."
"Very Suspense" premiered in Shanghai, with some viewers laughing to the point of tears. A viewer who watched the show ten years ago also said, "I didn't expect that ten years later," Very Suspense "will still make me laugh so happily. The previous volunteer had personality, but I'm not sure what kind of person he is. Now this one looks like an elderly otaku who has walked out of the alley. The director is also a young person with a foreign accent, a bit immature and a bit clumsy, and the contrast is quite interesting."
"YOUNG Theater Gulou West Green Box" is a Beijing Shanghai cooperative drama brand officially unveiled in March. Shanghai YOUNG Theater and Beijing Gulou West Drama revolve around the theme of "I like it a bit different", gathering cutting-edge drama and youth original forces, and creating Shanghai boutique drama residency small theaters. The solo play "A Report of an Ape" adapted from Kafka's original work and the only play by French New Wave master Hou Mai, "Trio in E-flat Major", have been successfully performed in the "Green Box of the Drum Tower West" at the YOUNG Theater.
