“A Dream Like A Dream” performed in Xi’An Chan Ba Poly Theatre from Apr 30-May 4, 2023, and the cheers continue to roll in from both Xiao Zhan’s endorsements and his Xiao Fei Xias. KaiXiaoZhao again set up booths outside the venue and other endorsements came early to assemble beautiful flower walls again to wish Xiao Zhan a wonderful smooth-sailing show. Xiao Fei Xias decorated the grassy space outside the theatre with baskets that reads “Love XZ”! Even International XFXs ordered rose bouquets to wish Xiao Zhan a great show. We hope Xiao Zhan and Xiao Zhan Studio will understand that these flowers were prepared 15 days well in advance, continuously watered until the day of the show, and therefore was non-refundable.
Curtain Call
Audience Sentiments
There are so many details this time! As far as my memory is concerned, it is much more than when I saw it in 2021, so I will first write about it while I remember it.
When he first met his wife and ate sushi, he stuffed sushi with a lot of wasabi aggressively, ate it in one bite, paused, and coughed. In addition to patting the thigh, No. 5 also pressed the heel of his palm to his forehead. Wow, I got it in an instant. If you can’t stand wasabi, it will rush to the head.
In Paris, he entered the small restaurant where Jiang Hong worked, took a sip of water from the cup, and poured the remaining water into the container on the table. He raised his head and took a sip, stroked the thin-footed glass with his long fingers, paused for a while, picked up the flower, and poured water. Turn around and take the scarf and leave. It was done in one go, but just that movement alone, that kind of inexplicable sense of speechlessness is very strong.
There is also No. 5, who broke through the wind and snow in Normandy, broke into the tavern of the butler grandpa, and rubbed his hands on his thighs. While sitting still, Jiang Hong curled up and clenched her fingers twice while talking to the waiter, and then loosened them. The freezing in the wind and snow needs to be relaxed and intuitive, which is wonderful.
He was mistaken for an installation artist in the old castle, and the expressions of the two sitting in the restaurant were too different. The first time was inexplicable and helpless. For the second time, No. 5 listened to the guests pretending to express the cruelty of war, and his expression became more impatient. He lowered his head, frowning more, and raised his eyes from behind his glasses, his eyes were cold. Seriously, the eye sockets began to flush. It clearly shows that this person’s anger is on the verge of exploding…
Every time I realize that these things happen naturally, as delicate as the big screen, I am full of respect and longing for the actor Xiao Zhan.
The period when no. 5 was looking for his wife was always very worrying. I just discovered today that Xiao Zhan’s voice/speech/pace are all progressive. The most intuitive feeling I have is my goosebumps. Goosebumps slowly rose during the circle and a half of no. 5…
He searched in a circle and a half and asked four or five people on the way. When he reached the first person, he was a little hesitant and uncertain. The voice is slow and soft, a little embarrassed to disturb. By the second person, the speaking speed was a little faster and I became anxious. When there is no more response, the voice starts to tremble and a little choked up. The third person, the fourth person, he’s gradually rushing, a little out of control, the voice began to tear. At the end of the question, he collapsed, screaming, the sound was torn, and the whole space was shaken.
To describe this process digitally:
Sound: 30dB, 50dB, 80dB, 100dB ,120…
Speech speed: 0.8 times, 1 times, 1.2 times, 1.5 times, 2 times, 3 times…
Pace: slow moving, normal pace, brisk walk, trot…
