When it comes to the theme of the new performance season, Lei Wen, the general manager of Dongyi, said that "having scores" is not only a response to the current Shanghai audience carrying scores to enjoy concerts, but also implies gaining spiritual power in art, hoping that the audience can gain unlimited possibilities in life in the theater. "Selling performance tickets is the first step, and how to respond to the increasing artistic taste and aesthetic needs of audiences with better content and services is a higher requirement for theaters." Lei Wen said that from upgrading the "Audience Art Enjoyment Day" to launching the "Art Education Alliance", and then collaborating with Shanghai Music Publishing House to create the first "score" theater in China in the new performance season, all are continuous explorations of this topic. At the same time, the new performance of Ji Dongyi will continue to integrate resources, control the self-produced plays of the main cast, connect the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, and "make reliable original production.".

Adhering to the artistic value concept of "being both popular and popular", "Dongyi Manufacturing" will launch another self-produced drama "Xiang Yan'an" with Chinese style and Shanghai style characteristics in the new performance season. It is planned to make its world premiere in Shanghai on May 27, 2024, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Shanghai's liberation.
Drama "Xiang Yan'an" signed with Dong Tianye for filming
"Xiang Yan'an" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Hai Fei, directed by Li Bonan. Set in Shanghai during the Battle of Shanghai in 1937, it continues the theme and plot of the original novel, immersing the audience in the espionage scene with a highly wrapped sense of participation, leading them to experience a spiritual journey of contemplating human nature and exploring faith.

"The protagonist of the novel has always harbored Yan'an in his heart, but has never been able to make it happen. This is a complete story that takes place in Shanghai," said Hai Fei, a "spoiler".
"I hope this is a particularly beautiful play that conveys the power of faith in the original work through secondary creation on stage, allowing the audience to see the literary value and dramatic character of the work," said Li Bonan.
