247 Dance Interviews
In fact, there is a special co-costume designer for the party, but Chen You believes that for this dance program, the choreography and the costumes are mutually influential. ↘ She needs a designer who can keep pace with her, but the workload of the official song and dance costume designer itself is already very full, although he may not dare to snub Chen You, but it will still affect the effect of the final product.√ ↖ Chen You told Zeng Jinjin, like the last Spring Festival Gala performance, she was very dissatisfied with the clothes made by the official designer, but she had no time to wear them. I heard that it's still him this year, don't don't don't !!
Chen You and Gu Yu get along quite well, and I feel that a fairy like Chen You must be the type of person who wants to make clothes for Gu Yu. In addition to work, the two occasionally talk about raising children, which makes Zeng and Jin always have a sense of confusion in listening to other female teachers in the school office to exchange their experiences in raising children. After all, they are all single mothers, although she feels that Chen You has no motherhood at all. Look, it's been a long time, and the child hasn't been picked up from school yet.
Having said that, Gu Yu took one of the reasons why the dance was repeatedly revised in the first month, because she came up with a rather interesting idea.
Traditional fishtail dance costumes, whether they are trousers or skirts, are often wide at the top and wide at the bottom, making the shape of a fishtail. But when you really dance, if you meet some picky audience and imagine the dancer as a fish, from the audience's point of view, the fish is standing, which is funny.
Although the art of dance focuses on the expression of imagery, it is not necessary to pursue the figurative excessively. However, the expression of intention is divergent and variable, and in the process of pursuing god-likeness in different forms, it also pays attention to an innovative concept. A type of expression from the initial innovation, to imitation, to become a convention, is unavoidable, for the audience, its ornamentation is discounted, and the artistry is also discounted. Therefore, making some huge innovations from clothing can be an attractive highlight.
And Gu Yu's idea is that the front of the costume does not need to be designed to be too close to the fish, but only needs to be reflected in the details of the makeup, such as the painted scales. As for the real fish-like design on the costume, it starts directly from the waist, and according to the long-tail shape of the dragon and phoenix koi, the skirt of the back piece is exaggerated in a freehand style. How exaggerated? The part that is laid on the ground is at least two meters long, with a huge and ornate fishtail. The tail of the fish has to be light and elegant, but it cannot completely lose its texture and weight, which makes it difficult for the dancer to control. She was ready to find the right fabric, and through the layering or splicing of several materials to achieve the desired effect, and make the pure black and pure white not look too monotonous and rigid. When the dancers dance, the twisted hips and fishtail also dance, if on the basis of the frontal shooting, increase the switch of the top view of the stage, at this time, the fishtail skirt can be fully presented, especially the audience sitting in front of the TV screen, what they can see is closer to the picture of the fish swimming in the water.
At first hearing, Zeng Jinjin and Chen You coincidentally pointed out a bunch of technical difficulties and hidden dangers. The huge fishtail does not necessarily bring a gorgeous picture, and the uncertainty in it may also cause the dancer to struggle to run with the fishtail in his hands, trying to control it but being powerless. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that in addition to its own novelty and eye-catching, such a design can also solve many plot performance problems. One of the most important scenes is the fusion of yin and yang at the end, at the beginning, I wanted to spell a yin and yang fish picture out as the finishing touch, but I couldn't find a good form, but if it is from the perspective of shooting from top to bottom, with a huge fish tail, and then find a way to set up some small mechanisms on the stage that are convenient for skirt modeling and blinding the lights, you may be able to get good results.
In this way, after repeated exploration and non-stop attempts, the work was formed, although the clothes have not yet been made, but the design draft has been completed, full of details, gorgeous and extraordinary.
However, before the garment arrived, it had to be replaced with a skirt of a similar length. The director team sent someone over as soon as possible, watched the incomplete performance on the spot, and conducted a series of exchanges, ready to start the creation of stage special effects when they went back. Of course, they also brought cameras and interviews to report on Chen Youhe's rehearsals, regardless of whether this dance can pass the final review and be put on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it can be used as the material for the behind-the-scenes program of the Spring Festival Gala in the future.
But in fact, as long as the completion of the work during the rehearsal is not too bad, with Chen You's status in the Chinese dance industry and his relationship with the Spring Festival Gala over the years, this show will not be removed.
The interview with the central government is expected to be decent. Zeng Jinjin speaks seriously and plainly, occasionally embellisheds a few false big empty sentences, and never says much witty words in the posture of a dancer. After the individual interview, the young female reporter asked her and Chen You to do an interview together in the practice room, and asked: "As far as we know, the women's pas de deux has never appeared in our Spring Festival Gala, so did you take this into account when creating this work? ”
Chen You replied: "No, the choice of two female dancers to perform is based on the inherent needs of the work alone, without considering what is the first and not the first. And the first in this area, to be honest, doesn't mean much, and few people will notice it. If you don't mention it, neither Teacher Zeng nor I know. ”
Zeng Jinjin nodded and said with a smile: "I really didn't know that there was no women's pas de deux in the Spring Festival Gala." Is there really none?"
The reporter's smiling face flashed with a hint of uncertainty: "Huh...... Should...... Not really. By the way, I heard that the chief director invited Mr. Chen You to give a dance program at that time, so what is the reason why you found Mr. Zeng as your partner again?"
"There are several reasons for this. Initially she asked me too, and you asked her to say. ”
Zeng Jinjin had no choice but to take over the conversation: "Because I am relatively close to Mr. Chen You in size and figure, I can achieve a balance, and at the same time, I am a modern dancer, and her concept of classical Chinese dance, the works presented through this collaboration happen to be a fusion of opposites, these are the concepts of Tai Chi Yin and Yang that we want to express." ”
"Oh. The reporter responded clearly, and after a moment, he thought again: "But with all due respect, there are so many modern dancers in China with good figures, why did Teacher Chen You find you?
Now Zeng Jin couldn't hold back: "This, I'm not too easy to say." ”
"Why?"
"Aren't you asking me to boast about myself? Then I can only say that it should be because she knows me better. In the middle of this year, we participated in "Modern Dance Forest" together, and we have a certain understanding of each other's choreography ability and dance technique, as well as style and method. ”
Chen You glanced at her, and could only say, "It's just because she's excellent, you don't need to think too much." ”
The reporter couldn't help but laugh and continued to ask Zeng Jinjin: "That Mr. Zeng, in the past two years, you have been filming reality shows and movies, and the Yue Nu Sword was very popular a while ago, and you can move forward on the road of acting, why did you come back again and promise Teacher Chen You to do this dance show together?"
There is something to say about this matter: "I don't agree with this statement, in my earliest plan, acting and dance are parallel and complement each other, and there is no such thing as giving up the dance career." I don't think if it weren't for that, Teacher Chen You wouldn't have come to me. She likes people who are obsessed with dancing because she is such a person herself. Then why did I agree to her to do this dance? Of course, this is the goal of the Spring Festival Gala, such a good opportunity, if the conditions allow, it is worth spending more energy and time. There is another reason, that is, the word Chen You. In fact, what I really want to cooperate with her is the mentality of a student, after all, she is a god-level figure on the stage, she didn't have a chance before, if she doesn't hurry up this time, she may not come to me in the future. ”
Chen You was also polite: "That won't happen, I'm afraid that it will be more and more difficult for you to invite." ”
This polite release was not decent, so the reporter threw out a few more topics according to the outline prepared earlier. After the interview was successfully over, the cameraman turned off the machine, and a sentence suddenly came out of her mouth: "Seriously, Mr. Zeng, do you think that when the Spring Festival Gala and the two of you come out, are those fans on your Weibo happy or unhappy?"
"Huh?" Zeng Jin didn't react, and Chen You didn't understand it very well.
The reporter continued: "This is my private question, aren't all those on your Weibo ...... To be honest, I think in their eyes, your dance should be quite lily. ”
Zeng Jinjin's eyes widened: "You know this?"
The reporter lifted his glasses and said proudly, "Hmm." Our CCTV reporters have a wide range of professional needs. ”
