Chapter 250: Standing Out (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
A day of meetings was held, and a gong and drum performance was set.
The progress seems to be very fast, but in fact, it is necessary to conduct field visits, find personnel, arrange programs, rehearsals, review, and on-site training...... It's easy to talk about it, but it's in vain.
After this series of things, it will take more than half a year, so the elements of each program will be determined first, and then carried out at the same time. The gong and drum performance was handed over to an old director to be in charge of, leading more than a dozen people, which is considered a small team.
Xu Fei listened to it for a day, but he didn't express any opinions, and sat for the next day.
The next day, the mind was open-minded, and the argument became more and more intense. The gongs and drums are rigid, followed by the best soft, and many people think of folk dances. But in such a big venue, how can you dance the folk dance?
Big puzzle.
The second day was fruitless, and it was the third day.
Xu Fei was shocked at the beginning, a senior stage artist of a certain art troupe directly moved a big blackboard.
In these years, there is no PPT and LED display, purely manual.
The old gentleman took the chalk and gestured: "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that my thinking is wrong." It's all drilled, it doesn't matter what kind of dance you dance, no matter how good the dance is, what's the use of the audience not being able to see clearly?
What a big venue wants is the overall effect!
It's like a military band, the whole comes out first, what do you want to express? For example, uh, the Asian Games will be in the summer, right? What is there in the summer, there are lotus flowers......"
He brushed and painted for a while, and several freehand lotus flowers were presented on the blackboard, divided into two groups, one with buds and the other with blooms.
"You look at this, and the audience understands at a glance, oh, this is a lotus bloom. They understand, and we succeed. If you have to pursue any dance, any complex movements, then you can't do it.
It is enough to have the soft meaning of the folk dance, the movements should be simple, the costumes must be in place, and the expression should be clear......"
"To put it bluntly, it's still a queue. ”
The voice came out again.
Everyone is quite used to it, and from time to time a male voice comes out slowly, and every sentence is on point.
"Right!"
The stage artist was very excited, "What you see in a big venue is the formation, and the individual is not important!"
“......”
The chief director discussed with Deng Zaijun for a while, frowned and said, "Let's let it go for a while, and continue to go on."
The first of our activities is a gong and drum performance, and the second is a folk dance, which has very strong Chinese characteristics. I briefly reported to the leader yesterday, and he is very supportive of this idea, so you don't have to be worried, you have to have confidence.
Then think about it, what else is there?"
"How's the calligraphy and painting?"
"If you can't do calligraphy and painting, you can't find hundreds of people to spell and play, right? ”
"You can't spell it at the bottom, but you can fight it at the top. The background flap is set up in a link, and a few ancient Chinese characters are turned over by brushing and brushing. ”
"That's good, dragonfly water. ”
The chief director made a note, "Is there anything else?"
"How's the shadow puppetry? Oh no, the light shouldn't work. ”
"Where's the bomb?"
"I don't even understand that thing, you let foreigners listen to it?"
"Peking Opera?"
"Peking Opera is okay, the key is how to show ......"
Everyone is worried. If a stage, even if it is an open-air stage, it is easy to fiddle with. The problem is that no, it's just that big stadium.
It is possible to set up a platform, but it can only be mobile and small. The big platform can't be installed on site, and it can be dismantled on site.
"Maybe it's martial arts, but I'm afraid of clashes with the front. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's Tai Chi in the front, and it can be comprehensive in the back. ”
"Agreed!"
Liu Di finally interjected and said busily: "Martial arts performances are deeply traditional, and they have always been a group project, but now they are nothing more than expanded. Hundreds of people waved flags, played with knives and sticks, and the effect was absolutely shocking. You can also arrange several sets of fights, and eighteen kinds of martial arts are unveiled, and the form is also very flexible. ”
Due to the current social climate, I know a little bit about martial arts, especially gay men.
When I mention this stubble, I am full of interest. Some say that they invite qigong masters to perform fighting cattle across the mountain, some say that they arrange Shaolin and Wudang Huashan to discuss swords, and some say that they know how to practice the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife......
Seeing that the atmosphere was so warm, Liu Di breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and felt that he had not lost the face of Jingtai.
Then, he heard a sentence pop up next to him: "Well, I have a little different opinion......
Well?
The audience was silent, staring in a certain direction. The chief director grabbed someone this time, and a young man behind him was very handsome.
Then he saw a picture book in his hand, and said:
"All of you are teachers, and I am a junior, so please bear with me if I say something wrong.
We're going to be on the third day, and whether it's a discussion show or a controversial style, everyone seems to have formed a consensus. Just like the teacher just said, a large venue can only look at the whole, and the individual is not important.
Is this notion correct? Personally, I think it's partly true.
Hundreds of thousands of people crowded together, changing into various shapes, raising their hands, all the flags were up, and with a wave of their hands, all the brushes fell to the ground.
It's really good-looking. But from the perspective of the overall programming and audience appreciation, it is not appropriate. ”
What are you going to do?!!!
Liu Di's eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to drag him back to dig the pit and bury him.
The chief director recognized it for a while and asked quietly: "He is Xu Fei, right?"
"Well, it's him. "Deng Zaijun said.
"It's a bit of a teenager's ambition. ”
It is not a good word for a young man to be ambitious, and it is often followed by a sentence "There will be aftermath." ”
"You mean queues don't matter? I'd like to hear what you think?"
Naturally, there are old-timers who don't like it, and their tone is very impulsive.
"I'm quite clear, what I'm saying is partly true, not appropriate. ”
Xu Fei didn't look at what anyone said, and said: "We who are engaged in art can't make ourselves ossified. Either it has to be this way or it has to be that way. I disagree with you, and I just oppose you? This is not the attitude of a literary and artistic worker. Ambiguity is precious, and there is no disagreement. ”
Ouch!
Everyone was stunned, this kid was even more rushed.
The man who spoke choked and his face was red, but he didn't press again. Because the eight words "ambiguity is precious, do not disagree" was said by Cai Yuanpei.
"Okay, okay, you can tell me more specifically. The chief director said.
"We find so many people to perform because the venue is too big, and when there are more people, the picture will be very full.
You say queue, right, but you can't queue from start to finish. Otherwise, after watching it for a long time, the audience will become like this, like this, like this......"
Xu Fei walked to the blackboard and pressed three sketches.
In the first one, many villains drawn with colored pens form a wonderful pattern on the field, which is layered and clear.
The second one, there are still a lot of villains, the outline is blurred, and the pattern is similar, not so clear.
In the third one, the villains simply become small dots, as neat as a mosaic.
He couldn't teach psychology to these people, so he took it out most directly, and said: "The audience watched the first show, okay, this gong is imposing and majestic!"
Watching the second show, the dancing is good, and the dancing is really aligned.
Look at the third one, it's really Qi!
If every show focuses on the queue, the audience will feel shocked when they watch one or two, and will they still be shocked when they watch three or four?
People's visual senses will be tired, and in the end, it is estimated that there is only one word left in the mind, Zhenqi. So I think queues are important, but they have to be interspersed.
What's more, there are so many formations that can be changed, and it is difficult to keep repeats. ”
This is the case with the real opening ceremony, where several big shows are full of queues and formations, and one of them is a group of several people, each in a circle and constantly rotating.
Whether it is a military band, gongs and drums, dance, or martial arts, the circle occupies the entire opening ceremony, and the commentary is changed.
“......”
The chief director pondered for a long time and asked, "Do you want to focus on the individual?"
"Yes. ”
"How's that going?"
"Director Deng, can you give the scene a close-up of the single person?" asked Xu Fei.
"Yes. ”
"That's good. ”
Xu Fei picked up the chalk and drew a few roughly, "I don't know singing and dancing, what I'm thinking about these days is a comprehensive program based on martial arts, which is also divided into several small links."
In the opening part, hundreds of people entered with large flags, red and black, burly, and waved to have the feeling of an ancient battlefield and a heroic warrior.
Flagbearers line up, of course I won't line up. After the performance, stand in a circle around the venue, waving flags and cheering.
Followed by a few moving stages, didn't you just say that you can't make Peking Opera?
The stage should be blocked, and they appeared one by one, just like the curtain brush opened, Mu Guiying was heroic, wearing a python and leaning on it, turning over and shaking her waist, and flying up and down with a spear dance.
Then he pulled it again, but it was the bowl boy in "The Legend of the White Snake", with a purple face, a face that changed from green to red, from red to white, from white to black, and after seven or eight faces, it was restored to its original state with a whoosh.
In the middle of the one, please a martial arts master, play alone, no knives, guns and sticks, no style. After the drill, a group of half-sized boys came up, shouting earth-shattering, and punching tigers and tigers.
After the game is finished, both sides are opened, and each enters a group of lions.
A southern lion and a northern lion have very different styles and show their own magical powers. At the end, they gathered in the middle, shook their heads and tails, and celebrated the whole world......"
The girl has a sharp mouth, and the string of stories is like telling a story.
“......”
There was no movement in the room, and they were all thinking seriously.
Others are talking about ideas, but this one directly brings a set of programs, and it is almost a specific arrangement. The old-timers thought about it again and again, first of all, the content is rich and the forms are diverse, which has both overall effect and personal characteristics.
In particular, the design of the two lions in the north and south is even more unexpected.
"Dao Ma Dan and Wu Sheng are good, and Sichuan Opera can also change faces. ”
"Will the lion dance be too lively, after all, it is the opening ceremony. ”
"Chinese will dance lion when they have a big happy event, isn't the Asian Games a big happy event?"
Everyone was talking very happily, and an old gentleman said: "Hey, by the way, you just said that martial artists don't play with guns and sticks, what do you want him to practice? ”
"Use a sword. ”
"Sword?"
"Drunken Sword. ”
Yo!
Everyone was shocked, and they all remembered that "The Yellow River Hero" released this year is here.
Thinking about it like this, it seems to be richer than a simple queue. Adopt another story, at least the form is very inspiring. Looking at this one again, the eyes are a little different.
"Boy, which unit are you from?
"Introduce yourself, everyone knows each other. ”
"Don't dare to be a ......"
When he didn't talk about it, Mr. Xu was super stylish, "My name is Xu Fei, from the Beijing Television Art Center." ”
