"When I get the script
No one will think of its final appearance."
2021.1
Yona & Zhou
At the time of the interview, there were less than 24 hours before the opening. Yona and Zhou, one opening and one closing, and now we're together.
Q: May I ask you two, from the moment you set foot at the P4 Theater gate, and now it's less than 24 hours away, can you share your emotional fluctuations and your heart's journey?
Yona.
First of all, I'd like to say a special compliment to the customer teacher. Because the first contact in the group was the customer teacher, his service attitude was very important. He won't wait hours to get back to you. He's really listening to you. And then sometimes a little look. For a girl like me, I would feel very sweet and nice, and I would love it.
And then I'm going to exaggerate the P4 map design, and I love it! And I just look at the map and I think this is the theatre I want. It's a great design. It makes me think this theater is something, it's looking for something different, it's having something to pursue. To me, I love this special. So these points are particularly attractive to me.
When I got here, I felt so good. Even those behind the scenes can act when they're auditioning. I bought Kentucky for fries.
Since the day I came here, I've had a lot of hopes and aspirations here, which makes me feel like this is a place where I want to work, to rehearse, to be there day and night. It was nice to come later. But then, as a result of some disputes and clashes, the mood slowly subsided until that day when it reached the bottom of a valley. After everyone said something that night, when I came home, I thought, well, you guys were keeping me. I didn't expect such a big fight to be so good. I think the line went up after the fight. I think it's all good now, and you're all right, so I'm looking forward to it in 24 hours.
Week
I feel like I go home with a different mood every day. Sometimes I feel so full, sometimes I feel like I'm losing something.
Yona: Yes! There will be such a moment! A lot of times I think it's something, and then when I'm done, it's like something! Then you'll think, after a while, what's this? And then after a while, you'll feel something. It's like this.
Yeah, and then the same thing doesn't feel the same day. I really wanted to quit once before. I was really excited when I saw the event, because I wanted to play, but I didn't seem to play for the sophomore. But I hesitated when I got the script. Actually, I wanted to tell 42 I didn't want to go and my mom told me not to go. I didn't say anything. I came. For the first time in the row today, I feel a bit lost because I did not go in. For the first time, there were a lot of flaws, and it felt certain that tomorrow would end. But for the second time, I really looked at it as an audience, because I didn't have a play either. I think it's okay. Specialty cannot be said, because I've been watching a lot of plays, but at least it's novel and it gives the audience some ideas. So now the mood is good. Let's hope tomorrow we're not bad again.
About your two little sisters?
Q: Actually, I have a curious question. When did you both go to school abroad?
WEEK: I'm freshman, in online class.
Yona: What direction?
WEEK: Deal.
JONA: I thought you learned the sound and made a deal.
Q: Just freshman year, right?
WEEKS: Right.
Q: What is the background of Yona?
Yona: Yona is the one who dropped out of school.
Q: What grade was it?
I'm on October 3rd. Because I spent six months in America in online classes at the acting hall, from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and in the end you're all dead.
Zhou: Our school is dedicated to Asian students.
YONA: It's usually the same, but if you don't go to the acting department at the same time, it doesn't make sense to just watch the video, and it can't be because you're alone. So you can't pass, you just stop.
Q: Eleven, too. Eleven, too. We've got a lot of suspensions.
YUNA: Yes! Who said that day, "Student is too slow"?
Q: So are you a senior?
YUNA: I'm a senior. I should have graduated in 22 years.
Q: Was that undergraduate or high school?
I went out when I was in college. But I've been an international school since I was a kid.
Q: Why do you two want to go abroad?
Zhou Zhou: Because I don't have a Beijing account, or I'm going back to my home town, Henan, but I haven't been back for a long time. I've been in Beijing, where there are only 20 or 30 people, and I can't accept 60 people. Or go abroad.
Q: You're in trouble if you want to take a high test.
Zhou Zhou: A high examination is not allowed in Beijing.
Q: Are you thinking about studying drama or something? Why did you go to business?
Zhou Zhou: Never thought to study drama.
YUNA: Because I've been an international school since I was a kid, I can't take all kinds of exams in the country, like I'm going to take exams, because I don't have to go abroad. But I thought about where I'd learn to perform. People around us don't like to talk about national science performances, because they think that if you want to go back home later, your connections are there, and even if you learn more, they don't necessarily use them at home. Because a lot of companies are telling me that you're no good at acting now, because if that's not what China wants, you might still have to be pretty enough to meet China's market. While the market is moving in a good direction, it cannot be this in a year or two. But I still want to do it right and do it best, and say if I have a good chance of doing it later. Let's do it first, without thinking about anything else. So I learned a lot of Broadway teachers in American performances. Because all our school teachers are Broadway, and many of our school graduates go to Broadway.
Q: In New York?
I'm in Chicago. Chicago is basically the strongest place in North America for pure art, and it's so much of an art culture that schools teach you how to make money, and even when you graduate, you're poor. It's funny to be in an art climate for years.
My plan was to go back to Chicago and go back hungry and follow what's in society, but I didn't expect it to come back. Returning home to look for work, including some of the big show groups. I said I wanted to do art, and the company wanted to do it. I've been approached by a lot of companies, but they're just trying to cash it. People talk straight, they say you're worth it, but more important than the art, as in the case of corporate artists who earn millions of dollars a year. It's true to talk to a lot of companies, and it turns out you can't go with them. So I slowly moved in the direction of drama, because of stagers.
Q: Poor!
JONA: Yes, the arts are poor, but it's worth every day, you're worth it, you're happy, you're happy, you're more meaningful than making money.
Understanding of howling
Q: Another question is, do we have a concept for this howler? Or have we ever had such a cry since we were kids? Just the urge to howl.
Journa: Are you referring to a real cry or a cry?
Q: I don't know. I don't know. What do you think about howling? Or howling?
Zhou: It's been too long. I really want to be free and do my thing. Because I've always been a very good kid, and I don't want my parents to say that, and I'll always be happy with them. Of course I want to cry for myself. Sometimes you want to do things differently.
Q: Do you think you're screaming this time?
Zhou Zhou: I think it's just a little bit. It's not much of a rebellion. The thing I'd like to do most is to paint.
YONA: I think it's actually kind of subversive, and it's quite different from the usual play, including swearing. I think it's howling. It says what everyone wants to say, without any limitations.
Q: Is that what you think swears are to you?
YONA: I feel like I'm involved in 13th and 18th.
About the whole play.
Zhou Zhou: Because I haven't seen shit like this, I was surprised at it, but I don't feel sick. Because it's normal. It's normal. It's just those people who are special, they're sick.
YONA: I'm surprised when I get the script because it's too real. It's true that there's nothing hidden at every moment, and I'm surprised that everything is exposed to the audience. And I think he didn't say he wanted to meet the audience when he wrote the script, he just wrote his own voice. You know, a lot of crowds don't accept it, but he doesn't say that they don't accept me. He wrote what he wanted. He's doing his own art. I don't think it's a problem. I might have been surprised when I saw it, because everybody was normal.
Q: Is this bad?
JONA: It's not what I say. When I look at it, you think that I try to think every day, because I see a line that wonders what his character is motivated by, and I wonder why he scolds the streets, but I wonder why. He doesn't seem to be scolding the streets, either.
Zhou Zhou: What the fuck news?
YUNA: Yes, yes, for the first time.
Some senses?
He Fa: I'm a whole picture today. Nearly 30 people are working together, and every time they look at it, it's a new interpretation. Everybody's giving me something new to tell me again what it is. It has nothing to do with the script. This performance, including the song of Zhou, and the moment Vincent walked up with a doll, it seemed like I was all connected. I don't know why. I've got goose bumps and howls coming out of the dark, and it's really too exciting for me.
YONA: It's true that no one would have thought of the end result when they read the script. I'm surprised.
He Fa: Right. I can't say it's a good thing. It's like the first time I said it was a good time.
Zhou Zhou: I'm good that I feel comfortable. I think that gold and dreams are very different, but this collision is interesting.
He Fa: It's really fun. I think it's great that Gold is doing the dream script. Even Yona's performances to her girlfriend are highly subversive.
YUNA: Because this character is different every day! There's never been a big change in that role. There's always one thing, and it's not like it's like I was before, and it's like I'm now.
He Fa: It's true! I think it was in the galaxy two days ago, as if it had just landed yesterday.
YONA: Yes, every day is a big change.
He Fa: I can't fly anymore because it's about to be public.
Zhou: You're in a particularly hurry.
He Fa: It's a rush, really. That's the fun part.
Time to spit.
Zhou: Why choose such a remote place? The first time I came on a bike, I collapsed.
JONA: I'm throwing up this place, too, cold.
He Fa: Poor
Deer: No choice in art.
JONA: Let's not talk about our actors, but will you not freeze you? After all, if you want to live here for a long time, can't you freeze everyone? We're here for a month, but this winter, hey, I'm worried about you.
He Fa: Hold on!
JONA: It's cold! I can't imagine the dream and love in my heart!
He Fa: It's like a bit bitter to make something real. Can't do it if you enjoy it too much.
