309. Nice to meet you

Moscow is a high latitude, and although it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is still different from the summer in southern China.

Just like Northeast China and Mongolia Province, as long as the sun does not shine, it is very cool, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large, and you need to cover the quilt at night.

And the same is true in Moscow, so I didn't feel too hot when I got out of the airport, and only when I was exposed to the sun could I feel that it was summer.

As a delegation invited by Huaxia, the organizing committee of the theater festival naturally has reception staff, except for one official, the rest are volunteers, and they are all Chinese students from Moscow University.

They were excited to be volunteers, especially when they saw Ning Yuan.

Obviously, although they went to college here, they also knew Ning Yuan, but in addition to the warm greetings, they didn't gather around asking for autographs to take photos, at least now is not the time, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing for the country.

Kzlov was the person in charge of the reception and the chairman of the festival.

On the Huaxia side, of course, it was not Meng Hui as the leader, but the vice president Cao Rulong, who had a brief exchange with Kzlov, and then got into the car together and went to the Stanislavsky estate, the venue of the theater festival.

It was Stanislavsky who wrote "The Self-Cultivation of Actors".

When they got over there, Ning Yuan and the others saw all foreigners, and they all felt that they all looked similar, at most there was a difference between tall, short, fat and thin, and men and women, but as for the facial features, there seemed to be little difference.

Although the cultural differences between the East and the West have always existed, people's emotions are nothing more than those, the main category is joy and sorrow, and then it is divided, in fact, people's happy and sad things are also very different, such as beating mandarin ducks, so Romeo and Juliet, as well as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, are tragic in China and tragedy in the West.

Although the two famous dramas were born in different eras and regions, they are strikingly similar in structure, ending, and the object they want to criticize.

Ning Yuan's "Sifan" they are going to perform this time is actually similar to Liang Zhu, they both yearn for free love, but their ending is happy.

Because it is a pioneer drama, it is restricted by the venue, so it is still similar to Huaxia, and it is divided into a small theater with only more than 100 seats.

At the start of the first performance, Ning Yuan thought that they were not famous now, and it would be good to be able to seat half of them, but he didn't expect to get the news before the performance, and their tickets were sold out.

Not only this one, but the next two were sold out.

This made Ning Yuan and Meng Hui a little stunned: "Do the Russian people like drama so much?"

Later, the volunteers of the Chinese students smiled and said: "Of course not, in fact, Mr. Ning is also famous in Russia, otherwise you see, many drama tickets have not been sold out, and some of them are not even half." ”

Ning Yuan suddenly remembered his movie, "A Dream in the Garden", after all, it was released here, and he was nominated, although the nomination has nothing to do with him, but at least he is the male number one in it, and there is such a fierce fight.

When asked if it wasn't, the volunteer shook his head with a smile:

"Of course not, I guess you can't guess what. ”

Ning Yuan was really a little confused: "Could it be that we won the award in the drama in the Neon Country before, and it was passed on?"

The volunteer named Lin Fan laughed: "It's Zhu Gege." ”

"What?"

Not only Ning Yuan's glasses widened, but Meng Hui, Liu Ye, and Pan Yueming were all dumbfounded.

"In fact, not only is Huanzhu very popular in our country, but in Russia, Ukraine and Mongolia in the past two years, there have been a lot of ratings, and even those of us international students find it incredible. ”

Ning Yuan knows that Huanzhu is very popular, and it is basically the most translated version in the world in Chinese TV dramas, except for "Journey to the West".

But in the past, Ning Yuan mainly focused on East Asia and Southeast Asia, after all, it had set off a ratings frenzy in both Neon and Goryeo, and for this reason, Goryeo also deliberately reduced the amount of broadcasts.

But Ning Yuan really didn't expect that there would still be a market for Huanzhu in the West.

Actually, this is really something that Ning Yuan doesn't understand, after all, in his previous life, he spent more time in the TV circle, and it wasn't until a few years before he was reborn that he started making movies, let alone going abroad, and even the award for winning the actor was also in Treasure Island, not considered going abroad.

At that time, the media reports were also more aimed at Asia, and there were very few in the Western world, at least Ning Yuan occasionally heard it, and he also saw the American version of the pearl return clip once, and the dubbing was simply spicy.

Even the English version is like that, not to mention the Russian version.

However, in Ning Yuan's previous life, Fan Bing was preparing to make a comeback after the accident, and he was able to appear on the cover of a Russian-language magazine, relying on the name of Huanzhu, and it can be imagined that Huanzhu's popularity in Russia can be imagined.

After knowing this, Yuan Quan smiled and said: "It turns out that we are all stained with your light, if you don't win an award this time, you will be ashamed to return the pearl." ”

Ning Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, and he wasn't sure what kind of evaluation Huanzhu was in Russia.

Just like in the future, many Korean dramas are also very popular in China, and at the same time, many Korean actors are not low in popularity in China, but because of the type of drama, in terms of mainstream consciousness, they are still looked down upon.

Subsequently, according to the process of the organizing committee, Ning Yuan and the others performed step by step.

There have been dozens of performances in Huaxia, this time it's just a different place, although this time the audience is all foreigners, which makes Liu Ye and them a little nervous, but Ning Yuan and Yuan Quan have not been affected, and Liu Ye and several of their 'performers' are basically speaking together, and the slight nervousness is not shown, so the performance is very smooth.

Just like in the Neon Country, it is impossible for Ning Yuan to speak Russian when they perform, so they are all performed on stage, and the screens on both sides scroll their lines.

Although the viewing experience is not so good, as long as you look at it carefully, the emotions shown by Ning Yuan and the content embodied in the plot can still be understood by the Russian audience.

Even they do, not to mention the actors and behind-the-scenes who come to the festival from other countries.

"I like this drama very much, and this screenwriting design model is also a new attempt to the previous dramas. ”

"Indeed, the story of the East and the West is fused together, although there are regional surprises, but the core of what is to be expressed is still a thing, or an emotion, and I think this combination is very ingenious. ”

"I couldn't understand the words, but there were a lot of words that sounded very rhyming and rhythmic, and it was very comfortable and full of cheerful atmosphere, maybe like a song, even if I couldn't understand the words, but the feeling was clear. ”

Not only Chinese poetry has rhyme, but Western poetry also has rhyme, but there are also poets, some people like this kind of catchy rhyme, and some people do not pay special attention to it, and care more about the content and emotions expressed.

"I think the actors are very good, especially the male and female leads, their eye movements are very smart, which makes people unconsciously attracted to attention, and then compared with the translated lines, it is even better. Of course, the other performers who are the narrators also cooperate very well. ”

"Their performances are not heavy, they are very brisk, and they are very much in line with the idea of the theme expression, and they perform the theme of each time period. ”

......

Most of the subsequent seminars also gave high evaluations, but they were mainly innovative in the design and plot of the drama, and about Ning Yuan and Yuan Quan, this innovation was well interpreted.

It sounds like a compliment, right?

Ning Yuan thought so.

The works from other countries in the exhibition include famous dramas such as "Faust", "Hamlet", "Hypocrite" and "The Minister", as well as "The Good Man of Sichuan Province", "Adam and Eve", "Deep in My Heart" and other popular plays in recent decades.

Among them, "The Good Man of Sichuan Province" is not a Chinese drama, but a work of the German dramatist Berto in the thirties and forties.

In fact, he has never been to Huaxia, let alone Sichuan Province. Hundreds of years ago, the missionaries' introductions to China continued to be transmitted back to the West, including the introduction of Sichuan Province, such as Qin Liangyu, a female general of the Ming Dynasty, somehow, evolved into the queen of Sichuan Province, because of her, Sichuan Province also entered the consciousness of German intellectuals.

When Berto wrote this play set in China, he came up with the most impressive place name.

This drama is not only set in China, but also based on Chinese mythology, telling the story of the gods descending to earth, saying that three immortals went down to earth to find good people, but repeatedly hit a wall, and finally found a kind Qinglou woman Shen De.

This in itself is a very ironic thing, but the more ironic thing is yet to come-

The fairy gave her a thousand silver dollars, and Shen De used the money to open a cigarette shop, hoping to make more money to help more people through business, but soon she was on the verge of bankruptcy because of her good deeds.

In order to save the tobacco shop, the kind-hearted Shen De had to disguise himself as a man, and instead appeared in front of everyone as a ruthless cousin Cui Da, and turned the tobacco shop into a rich tobacco factory through the brutal exploitation of the workers.

At this time, people began to miss the missing "good people of Sichuan Province". When the immortals interrogated Cui Da and asked about the whereabouts of the good man Shen De, she finally had to take off her men's clothes and show a shocking fact to the world: society has become so depraved that good people can no longer survive.

This descendant is different from Ning Yuan's Sifan, Ning Yuan's is the pursuit of self-fulfillment, praising freedom and love, and this is an attack on the current situation.

One praises and one criticizes, no matter where the background is placed, the core will not change, not only this one, but other dramas have this common consensus.

However, this time the drama festival is not only a selection, but also a master-level performance, which is a performance, in fact, it is equivalent to showing the meaning of teaching, not only to show you, but also the self-interpretation and analysis of the main creators, which benefited Ning Yuan a lot.

Ning Yuan is okay, Liu Ye has also gone through four years of study in a regular class, but Pan Yueming suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were lowered-not derogatory, just his own description:

"My vision has improved, but my acting skills have not improved, which makes me look back on my past performances and feel that there are many things that could be better. ”

Ning Yuan smiled and comforted: "When your vision is improved, you will know the direction of your efforts, if you don't even know the direction, you can only laugh at yourself." ”

"Self-esteem?" Pan Yueming chewed on this new word and nodded: "It's very appropriate, I really thought I acted well before." ”

Ning Yuan laughed: "Everyone has this kind of thought, this is also the process of human progress, the first step is to feel that you don't know anything, the second step is to feel that you learn quickly, the third step is to start complacent when you are experienced, and the fourth step is to know your own shortcomings when you see more powerful people, and then ...... again."

Liu Ye on the side said quietly: "Actually, it can be summed up in one sentence." ”

Pan Yueming asked curiously: "Which sentence?"

Ning Yuan also squinted, Liu Ye shrunk his neck, but he still said in a strong whisper: "It's a poem, called a mountain is higher than a mountain." ”

Ning Yuan said speechlessly: "The meaning is pretty much the same, but this is a poem?"

Liu Ye thought for a while: "It seems to be, I remember that there seems to be a sentence." ”

"Isn't it called the last sentence that the strong have their own strong hands?" Ning Yuan said lightly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Ye applauded and said excitedly.

"To your head! Why don't you say that there are people outside the mountains!"

Ning Yuan stretched out his hand and was about to shoot, but Liu Ye dodged him, Ning Yuan said angrily: "Don't write your experience yet, do you think you are me?"

Liu Ye silently turned his head to remember his experience, and muttered: "Who can have a perverted memory like you......"

Pan Yueming glanced at him, then at Ning Yuan, and then obediently bowed his head and worked hard to write.

Ning Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, although these two guys were older than him, even if he didn't have the identity of a boss, he would talk to them like he was a big brother, of course, the reason was self-evident.

Ning Yuan himself is actually recording, but it is not so detailed, it is more like an outline, basically short words and sentences, but with his memory, even if he does not have these, he is very impressed, and the reason why he remembers it is also to summarize and organize it in the future and form his own perfect performance concept.

Many times, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and only know that one truth or method, if there is a change, you will be at a loss, but if you form your own set of ways after finishing up, you can easily follow the changes, which is similar to the principle of martial arts' 'no tricks to win'.

On the third day, Yang Fan, the director of the Garden Dream, also came over in advance, before he learned that Ning Yuan was going to participate in the theater festival, so he said, 'Ask to bring', but before he came, he had to arrange the itinerary of the rest of the crew, as well as his own company's affairs, so it was a little late.

In the following time, Ning Yuan sometimes went to watch other plays with them, and sometimes acted independently, in fact, Pan Yueming and Liu Ye gained far more than Ning Yuan, after all, they knew much less than Ning Yuan at this stage.

And Ning Yuan, as he summarized and sorted it out, the more he felt that he had unconsciously grown again, and in the next exhibition, he tried to integrate into it.

This time it is in the former residence of the master of the experience school, which is naturally dominated by the experience school, and Ning Yuan also tries this way more, and his progress has also been seen by many masters.

"Hello, Ning Yuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Faced with this master's uninvited arrival, Ning Yuan held his outstretched hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Liubimov, it's my honor to know you." ”
