Literary work: Exploring “jewels” is also very elaborate!
The ancients have a saying: “The more jade is sharpened, the brighter it is”, meaning that what is valuable, the more it is honed, the more brilliant it will be, because of its inherent character and temperament. This saying is partly true with what has been happening in the field of theater. In recent decades, the “breathing” story into works of art has been the trend of the times and has been deployed by many art units, even experimenting with many breakthrough ideas to bring ” bright pearl” to reach the public, especially young people.
The masterpiece Vang Bong One Time by writer Nguyen Tuan was adapted and put on the stage.
But “playing profession is also very elaborate”, creating “bright pearls” needs even more meticulousness, meticulousness, and sophistication. In fact, literary works with plots that are inherently attractive and dramatic have been recognized for their solid structure, sharp style, and are especially familiar to the public for a long time.
However, exploiting this “jewel mine” has never been a simple and easy task. If the writings make a strong impression with words, on the stage of the drama, the dialogue needs to be more condensed, harmoniously and smoothly combined with visual and sound elements. Of course, the screenwriter cannot bring the entire work to the stage, but it is necessary to have an adaptation step, balanced so as to keep the essence, of the original, and fit the duration of a play. reserved “acting ground” for “unwritten” gestures, actions, happenings, and specific pieces. The adapting unit must avoid falling into the trap of integrating subjective ideas, following the trend, losing the “spirit, soul bone” of the jade, avoiding paying the audience “raw stones” that are no longer valuable. treat.
