Choreographer Huang Zhikai said that the theme of the story comes from his reading of the writer Shi Baijun's novel "Waves", and he is very impressed with the way history and imagination are combined, "This work stimulates me to think, what is the connection between the creator and the land? How did our ancestors come to Taiwan? Everyone knows that Zheng Chenggong came to Taiwan from his father, which is a relatively unfamiliar part of everyone. ”
Huang Zhikai said that Taiwan is an island, and in the past it was rarely talked about taiwan from the perspective of the era of great navigation, "In fact, after zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered a sea ban, China had a 200-year sea ban, when the coastal people smuggled trade in order to survive, thus forming a special pirate culture." Huang Zhikai said that Zheng Zhilong was a controversial figure in history, "a lifetime of descending to the light and descending to the Qing, in order to survive, knowing how the wind turns the rudder, was the pirate leader at that time, 28 years before his son Zheng Chenggong defeated the Dutch in Kinmen Zhiluo Bay." ”

"The King of Pirates - The Legend of Zheng Zhilong" and Wang Qiongling as a co-screenwriter, the story describes that in the 17th century, the maritime trade flourished, but the Ming Dynasty locked the country to blockade the sea, Zheng Zhilong because of the beating of corrupt officials to cause trouble for themselves, with two younger brothers to their uncle to learn business, so they met the pirate leader Li Dan, Li Dan accepted Zheng Zhilong as a son, and took him to the sea to break around and learn to do business, however, after Li Dan was killed by his cronies, Zheng Zhilong had to stand on his own feet and learn to survive in a world where the weak eat the strong.

Because pirates travel the world, sail between countries, and often need to communicate with people from different countries, the actors in the play challenge to speak foreign languages, including Dutch, Grape Asian, Spanish, Japanese and other different languages, which can be said to be a rare performance in traditional opera works.

Director Huang Zhikai said that when talking about the story of the age of great navigation, the image of the sea must be clear, taking the water flag and dry ice are not obvious enough, to let the audience see the boat sailing on the water, but also to let the audience see the actors swimming in the water, as well as the bubbles during ventilation, are obvious and very realistic.
There are also 2 ships on the stage competing for the sea, Huang Zhikai said that the crew referred to the ming Dynasty period warships and merchant ships, created, "the scene of the ship, the audience can see three perspectives, one is to use the stage as a deck, with the back of the sea swimming changes, the actors throw around, showing the terrifying waves; the second is that the bows of the two ships open out together, showing a three-dimensional height; the third is that the two ships are combined to become a big ship." What's even more amazing is that the whole ship is finally turned over, and the audience can see the deck inside, creating a real One Piece world.
The empty stage, through projection special effects, can be transformed into the deep sea, the actor swims upwards in it, and a ship chisel scene in "One Piece King - Legend of Zheng Zhilong" is realistic. (Courtesy of MingHuayuan Group)
Huang Zhikai said that Zheng Zhilong's character personality is also diverse, and the two sides are evaluated in the human world, "He is a pirate who commanded the East China Sea, suddenly cooperated with the Dutch, and suddenly became an enemy with the Dutch; he was once at odds with the imperial court, but he was incorporated into the Daming Water Division, and cooperated with the imperial court, which can be said to see the wind turn the rudder, and the winner is the king." The performance will be performed three times on May 29 and 30 at the Kaohsiung Weiwuying Art and Cultural Center Opera House. (Gao Yang)
