Chapter 67: The German Mission (7)
At this time, the lights dimmed again, obviously preparing for the next link.
Mrs. Princess asked Jiang Yi with interest, "What surprises will you bring us next?" ”
Jiang Yi smiled: "The next program is a Hanfu display, which can give you a full understanding of the history and culture of our country. ”
Mrs. Princess seemed to understand and said, "What is Hanfu?"
Jiang Yi said: "Hanfu is the traditional clothing of our nation, you should know that although China is a multi-ethnic country, the Han nationality occupies the vast majority, and Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han nation." ”
With such an explanation, Mrs. Princess also understood 7 or 8 points, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”
Most of the other guests knew from the preview of this performance that the last part of this performance was the Hanfu display. To be honest, the word "Hanfu" has been extinct in China for more than 200 years in this era, and now China's daily clothing is actually the shape after Manchu, and if it is in the Kangqian era, even if it is the Jiadao Second Dynasty, these two words are absolutely taboo, and it may even lead to a large-scale literary prison. But now, the times have changed, and East China dares to play the word "Hanfu" in a grand manner, and it is widely promoted. Neither of the guests felt anything wrong, after all, the elders all claimed to be descendants of the Ming Dynasty, a dynasty founded by the Han people, although their style and habits did not bear any resemblance to the legendary Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, the lights at the end of the stage turned on, and a layer of white smoke-like gas came out of the stage, and the princess was also startled, and said, "Is this on fire?"
Jiang Yi smiled: "Please rest assured, Mrs. Princess, this is not a fire, but a stage effect." ”
While talking, the music resumes, and the singing voice comes,
At the beginning of the month, the maid puts on makeup
I draw my eyebrows, and the phoenix crown is matched with a neon dress
The water sleeves dance lightly and sing like the fragrance of wine
...... ......
This time, both the lyrics and songs have a very strong ancient Chinese style, of course, this refers to the ancient Chinese style that has been improved by modern times and space in the old time and space, plus it is played with electric instruments, compared with the real ancient music, there is still a big difference. But no one cared about that, the Germans certainly didn't understand, and most of the guests knew that the senators liked it. Besides, today I didn't come to listen to ancient songs, but to see Hanfu.
At this moment, I saw the figures on the stage swaying, and four slender and beautiful female figures walked out of the left and right sides of the stage, and the spotlights on the stage lit up, shining directly on everyone's body, which can be seen very clearly.
The first woman on the left side of the stage is wearing a water-green dress, narrow sleeves, a long skirt mopping the floor, a blue and white long scarf on her shoulders and arms, her hair is tied in a cloud bun, the upper step is shaking, the cloud sideburns are beautiful, the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and she is beautiful.
The second woman is wearing a purple and red dress, with long sleeves like clouds, covered with draped ribbons, floating like a fairy, her hair is combed to the sky, her hair is full of hairpins and pearls, the treasure light is flowing, the willow eyebrows are beautiful, and she is charming and moving.
The third woman wears a bright yellow dress, embroidered with peony flower patterns, wide robes with large sleeves, and a phoenix crown on her head, which is brilliant and dazzling.
The fourth woman, the one on the far right, wore a white felt scarf on her head, a scarlet felt cape, a ring of white fluff around the edges, a vermilion dress, high leather boots, and a lute in her arms.
As soon as these four women appeared on the stage, they immediately caused a burst of amazement from the audience, not only because the costumes and costumes of these four women were indeed amazing, coupled with the lighting effects, and the atmosphere of steaming clouds and clouds set off by dry ice smoke, making the whole picture beautiful and beautiful, as if the fairy in the sky had descended.
Even the Germans were dumbfounded, and Madame Dauphin grabbed Prince Heinrich's hand and exclaimed, "It's beautiful, my dear, I've never seen such a beautiful scene." ”
Prince Heinrich also said: "Yes, this is amazing, so wonderful, I think that even if Aphrodite comes, it will be dwarfed." ”
Of course, many of the guests have already guessed 7 or 8 points, looking at the four beauties on the stage, they are about the four beauties who play the traditional Chinese culture, wearing green clothes and holding light yarn in their arms, Xi Shi wearing green clothes and light yarn in her arms, Minchan in purple and red dresses and flowing clouds with long sleeves, Yang Yuhuan with a phoenix crown and a xia veil, and Wang Zhaojun holding a pipa in her arms.
In fact, the shape of these four beauties is a show of the troupe's imitation of a certain dance Spring Festival Gala in the old time and space, although the current stage effect cannot be compared with the old time and space, but in this era, it can completely surpass all other stage effects. And you can make full use of the shapes of the four beauties to show the style of Hanfu.
And guessed the four beauties to play the object, the guests were more interested, because the name of the four beauties is too loud, and it has always been a popular repertoire in various dramas, but one is that no one has seen the four beauties on the same stage;
In fact, the costumes of these four beauties are not really ancient Hanfu, but in the old time and space, after modern improvements, and with strong two-dimensional style elements, of course, the costumes are more complex and gorgeous, extremely prosperous. However, none of the guests have ever seen what the real Hanfu looks like, since the elders said that this is called Hanfu, that is Hanfu, after all, everyone came to see the performance, not for costume research, and besides, the costume modeling of these four beauties seems to be so interesting.
In the exclamation of everyone, the performance began, and the four beauties walked along the stage one by one, dancing, and each of them had more than a dozen dancing girls, although the clothes and ornaments were different, but they were all one-color hair and high buns, long sleeves and long skirts. After all four of them finished dancing in turn, they danced on stage together. In fact, the dance posture of the performance is not complicated, it is nothing more than kicking, twisting the waist, and posing for a few beautiful shapes, but due to the unpredictable lighting on the scene, the stage is brilliant and colorful, and the smoke effect of the clouds and clouds still makes the audience drunk and fascinated, and then they forget about it.
Until the whole performance is over, the performers have retreated to the backstage, and everyone has not yet come to their senses, and they are still immersed in the visual feast just now.
At this time, backstage, it was as if the pot was boiling, and the three heads of the troupe and the four actors who played the four beauties either high-fived each other or hugged each other warmly, and even burst into tears.
This performance, by its is the last Hanfu show, although it is an imitation, but it is indeed a waste of a lot of effort of the troupe, because it is the 4 beauties are all played by the female veterans of the troupe, because only female veterans can show a strong self-confident temperament, and the locals can't do this now.
And compared with other departments or groups in East China, the development of the troupe is indeed much more difficult, although there are many performance activities, but the lack of people is always the biggest dilemma faced by the troupe, because there are very few naturalized people with music and dance foundations, and East China prohibits the troupe from graduating students, after all, there is a shortage of people in almost that department now, so the talents who have been trained so hard can let them go to the troupe, and East China has not yet had the luxury to this step. However, this brought great difficulties to the development of the troupe, there were not enough manpower, and in the early performances, the veterans were basically on the stage.
Another problem is that there is no future in the troupe, because compared with other departments and business groups, the development future of the troupe is indeed limited, after all, the cultural and entertainment industry in this era can not be far from the old time and space, so the veterans left the troupe one after another and switched to other industries, from the initial more than 30 people, to the end of only 12 people left, of course, those who stayed are the kind of people who belong to the strong artistic temperament.
It was clear that such a small number of people were not enough to support the troupe's performances, so after consultation, it was finally decided to expand the troupe by merging the troupe and recruiting prostitutes.
The people in the troupe are also professional actors in this era, although there is still a big difference between the requirements of singing and the troupe, but after all, there is a foundation in music and movement, so it is naturally faster to get started. Prostitutes are basically the highest group of women in ancient Chinese culture, and since they are large-scale brothels, there will be special people to teach prostitutes to play music and sing, and even write lyrics and poems.
There are many troupes in this era, of course, there are a lot of them in East China, but most of them are not very good, so they can only go to the villages and towns to make a few small bucks.
Although there is no ban on brothels in East China, strict restrictions have been made, not only regular inspections of brothels are carried out; prostitutes can only work with health certificates, and at the same time brothels are strictly prohibited from buying brothels, and then it is forbidden to force good people to become prostitutes, once discovered, brothels will be immediately shut down, and the operators will also be imprisoned and sentenced. However, at the beginning, many brothel operators were quite unimpressed with this, Bi Jing has been this rule for thousands of years, and there are those who do not buy people when they open brothels, and those who do not force good people to become prostitutes. But East China really didn't take thousands of years of rules into account, and it was useless to catch it when it should be caught, and it was useless to rely on any personal relationship. By the time the proprotel operators have come to their senses, these thousands of years of rules are really not easy to use here in East China, and the brothels under the rule of East China have been closed down for as many as 7 or 8 percent.
Of course, the proprietors were arrested, and most of the prostitutes were acquitted, but the remaining brothels could not accommodate so many prostitutes, so some became independent households, and some simply changed careers. But it couldn't be easier for the troupe to recruit people from there.
In this way, the troupe merged 3 troupes, and recruited some prostitutes who were excellent at playing and singing, so that the troupe's team could be regarded as setting up, and then teaching them to sing, dance, act, walk the stage, etc., it can be said that it was indeed a difficult journey to get to where it is today.
