中华音乐社的《全民金马奖》是一部自编自导的原创音乐剧。讲述了追求梦想的年轻人为生活所迫，不得不随波逐流，但几经波折后，在领奖台的聚光灯下，最终寻回初心。《全民金马奖》伴随着笑与泪展现了一场青春活跃的演出。
The Golden Horse Awards by Chinese Music Group was an original written and directed musical production. It told a story of young dream chasers who bore the pressure of life and were forced to drift along. However, after a series of setbacks, they finally retrieved their true desires under the spotlights of the medal podium. The Golden Horse Awards was a lively and youthful performance, accompanied by laughter and tears.
对于音乐剧的演员来说，同时完成表演、舞蹈、歌唱三项演出任务，是一个严峻的考验。所有演员为呈现出《真情守候》这档节目，展现出各自不同的人物形象，充分体现了一个时代的社会背景。所有演员中，最令人印象深刻的是金相廷饰演的涂三石，在整部戏中，涂三石展现了三种不同的形象：舞台上的情感咨询师、工作中的花花上司、暴露后气急败坏的背叛丈夫。可以说在这三种形象上的塑造中，金相廷的完成度非常高，尤其是一些细节动作上的处理，为涂三石增添了不少金相廷的特色。更值得一提的是，无论是舞蹈还是表演，放松舒展的形体，也是他表演中的加分项。从剧情中看，肖安琪饰演的林美和刘均维饰演的朱爵在舞台上牵着手，互相注视的那一刻，展现得十分自然，包含浓浓的情义，与之前林美被安排成假情侣时，截然不同，形成鲜明的对比，可以说两位演员在这一段的表现是非常成功的。稍显遗憾的是，演员在表演过程中，对于接戏的能力略显生疏，出现表演预判的情况，这样刻意的制造情绪，反而抑制了角色本身性格展现与人物塑造。
It was a strict challenge for the cast of the musical to carry out the three tasks of performing, dancing and singing all at once. All cast members showed different personal characteristics for ‘Right Where You Want Me’, and this successfully reflected the social backgrounds of the time period. The most memorable character amongst all was Sanshi Tu, performed by Xiangting Jin. Three different figures of Sanshi were shown throughout the musical: a relationship consultant on the stage, a ‘playboy’ boss at work and an unfaithful husband who was exasperated after being exposed. It is reasonable to say that Xiangting Jin portrayed all three figures at a high degree of completion, especially when dealing with some detailed actions, and this added a few unique features of Xiangting to the character Sanshi. Moreover, the relaxation and the stretching of his body during both dancing and performing also credited to his performance. From the perspective of the story line, Mei Lin, performed by Anqi Xiao and Jue Zhu, performed by Junwei Liu, made the scene look natural and full of emotions when they held hands and looked into each other’s eyes. This was performed successfully, as it showed a distinct contrast by being entirely different to the scene when Mei Lin was prearranged to perform as a fake lover before. Though, it was a pity to see the cast was not familiar with absorbing the energy from others, and caused situations where anticipation occurred. This deliberate way of emotional manufacturing restrained the modeling and expressing of personal characteristics of the characters.
整部音乐剧中，导演一休采用了打破第四堵墙的模式，把观众设定为整个剧组的“演员观众”是一个大胆且创新的想法。在观众进场时，演员已经在舞台上表演，已经给打破第四堵墙的设定埋下了伏笔。同时也让观众更容易接受自己也是剧组一份子的设定。难能可贵的是，整场演出维持了打破第四堵墙的风格，保持了导演设计的一致性与一惯性，使其成为了本部作品的特点。有瑕疵的是，在金马奖的场景中，最后演员们走下舞台，与观众互动的设计，呼应了全剧舞台与观众一体的设定，但是，在这个场景中，观众迷失了自己的身份，不能确定在这个场景中，自己所应该站在哪一个角度观看。
Throughout the musical, the strategy used by Director YiXiu to break the fourth wall and include the audience as ‘audience performers’ was an adventurous and innovative idea. When the audience were starting to enter the theatre, the cast was already performing on the stage, and that not only set the scene for breaking the fourth wall, but also made it more acceptable for the audience to believe that they were also one of the cast of the theatre group. It is commendable that the performance maintained the concept of breaking the fourth wall from the start to the end, preserved the uniformity and consistency of director’s design, and this contributed to the uniqueness of this production. The only flaw was when the cast members stepped off the stage and started to interact with the audiences at the end during the Golden Horse Awards presentation scene. Although it coordinated the idea of combining the stage and the audience as a whole, the audience were likely to lose their scene of identity and would be confused about which perspective they were looking at in this scene.
《全民金马奖》的灯光设计中采用了较多的聚光灯与追光灯。两种灯光应用都具有舞台特写的效果的。但本场演出中，聚焦男女情侣与主持人的三盏聚光灯，都是逆向投射，增强了人物的立体感，但也产生演员脸上没光的影响，而追光灯的操控如果不能很好的跟上演员的表演位置变化，也会导致演员脸上没光。同样的问题还在于center stage left 和center stage right因为布光不均匀，导致在这两块表演区域表演的演员脸上也相对较暗。
The lighting design of The Golden Horse Awards used many spotlights and follow-spot lights. The two types of light had featuring effects of the stage. However, the three spotlights featuring the couples and the MC were projecting backwards. Although it increased the perception of the three dimensional effects on the characters, it also caused an issue as there wasn’t enough light on cast’s faces. Also if the control of follow spot lights could not catch up with the change in cast’s positions, it would also cause a lack of light. The same problem applied to centre stage left and centre stage right, where the distributions of lights were not even, and caused the light on faces of cast in these two areas to be dim.
中华音乐社的乐队与歌曲，一向是每年最吸引观众的部分。《全民金马奖》也保持了这个优点。每一首歌曲，不仅动听悦耳，同时能把观众带入剧情。但有时候，乐队的音量会盖过演员的歌唱，降低了观众对于歌曲的理解。即便如此，李幸饰演的黄淑瑶可谓是最大的亮点，她的歌曲充满了对丈夫的失望以及对自己未来的决心。将观众的目光，牢牢的锁定在自己的身上，同时也很好的推动了剧情的发展。
The songs and bands of Chinese Music Group are always the most attractive part of the performance every year. The Golden Horse Awards kept this advantage. Not only was each of the songs melodious, but it also brought the audience along with the story. However, sometimes the volume of the bands was overly loud so that it covered the singing of the cast, and interfered with the audiences’ understanding of the songs. However, Shuyao Huang by Xing Li was the greatest sparkle. Her song was filled with the emotions of disappointment to her husband and the determination of herself in the future. This attracted the audience’s attention to herself very well and pushed the progression of the story at the same time.
总体而言，中华音乐社的《全民金马奖》是一场成功的原创作品。充满创意的导演，青春朝气的演员，团结的制作团队以及最优秀的乐队。所有这些，成功的组合在一起，为观众奉上一场娱乐性与观赏性兼备的作品。
Overall, The Golden Horse Awards by Chinese Music Group was a successful original production. The director full of creativity, a cast full of youthful spirits, the united production team and the amazing band, all of which assembled together successfully, present to the audience a production that was both entertaining and engaging.
