Chapter 5: The Rich and Noble in Flowers!
Early the next morning, Gu Qiu sent Jiang Ran a location, and Jiang Ran didn't have any hypocrisy, so he took a taxi and went over.
Variety show, it's not a show, although sometimes there will be a car to pick you up, but Jiang Ran is not a hypocritical person, the recording location is not in the CCTV headquarters, in a big stage nearby, slightly inferior to the CCTV stage, but it is also a famous big stage, the scenery inside can make people feel pleasing to the eye outside.
I called a taxi on my mobile phone, and the driver was very talkative.
"Young man, what are you doing on the big stage, is it going to perform?" the driver looked at Jiang Ran and said with a smile. "I think my little brother looks like an actor. ”
"Yes and no. Jiang Ran said with a smile, "In addition, master, you look at my outfit, it doesn't look like a performance, if you really go to the performance, you should wear it very grandly." ”
"Not necessarily, there will be costumes when you get to the theater. ”
"I've watched people for so many years, and this Jingzhou is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I know that you have a bright future, little brother. The driver said with a smile.
"I lend you a good word. Jiang Ran naturally responded with a smile, as for the words, just listen to it, what is promising, you can get it if you know it in your heart.
The distance is not too far, almost five minutes away.
Not far away, it was outside the recording site, and Gu Qiu was waiting here early.
It's not waiting for him alone, many contestants have also walked in one after another, Jiang Ran walked inside like a normal player, he is not a big name in himself, strength, there is, but it has not yet reached the level of pride.
After seeing Jiang Ran, Gu Qiu greeted him with a sincere smile on his face.
This time, Jiang Ran's participation is very important to him, otherwise he wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to invite Jiang Ran, he needs a young man with strength who can represent traditional culture to stand up, and be able to become the core of this show and become a highlight.
This is also Master Liu Han's guarantee to him, traditional culture, as long as these four words are typed, there will naturally be a large number of young audiences flocking to it, and the ratings can not be guaranteed by slogans, but also by people who can retain this group of audiences.
By now, even he wanted to see Jiang Ran's strength, since it was recommended by Master Liu Han himself, it would not be too much to say that it was even highly praised, and his strength was definitely beyond doubt, but he had to see it with his own eyes to be able to loosen the string in his heart.
"Here we are, little brother. Gu Qiu greeted him.
"Well, it's hard work," Jiang Ran said with a smile.
"It's not hard, the backstage here has already prepared the costumes, as well as some of the oil paints used in the makeup, which are all from the major theaters. Gu Qiu said with a smile, "Little brother, let's dress up first, the makeup artist and costume artist are already waiting for you backstage." ”
It's still every detail, and it's all explained clearly, whether it's in front of people or in private, which adds a lot of goodwill.
"Okay. Jiang Ran nodded, and walked over in the direction Gu Qiu pointed out.
There are many rooms in the backstage, with independent clothing rooms and dressing rooms, and after walking inside, Jiang Ran walked towards the clothing room, where a special costume artist helped match the style.
Jiang Ran felt a little troublesome, but in terms of dressing, it seemed too formal, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally followed the principle of simplicity, "I want to choose a long gown and a folding fan like the ancient Confucian students." ”
The clothing room looks antique, and most of the clothes are some traditional costumes, as well as some iconic costumes of regional culture, which can be said to be comprehensive, and I really know how much money has been spent on clothing.
"Good. The costume designer is a woman, and while choosing, she said, "The costumes can also be customized, you can list the style you like or the style of the performance, and we will prepare it for you." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Ran was a little surprised, "Is it okay to have a costume?"
"At present, we only support some simple styles of costumes, if it is really that kind of big production, we also need a certain amount of time to produce, and you need to plan the style now, but if the price is too high, you need to pay for part of it, and it will not be too much, about 50%. The woman smiled and said.
Half of the self-expense, that's really not expensive, some costumes can be rented, some are really not rented, some traditional costumes, accompanied by some disappearing repertoire, have long been a thing of the past, even if it is still alive repertoire, there may not be too many sets of costumes, this is no way to do it, the cost is too high.
A phoenix crown, a better one costs tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
Even so, the show is doing its best for them.
Jiang Ran smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you." ”
He didn't expect that he could also customize the costumes, if it was a real costume, it was estimated that one would be a sky-high price, and he was willing to spend money here, of course, customizing the costumes, Jiang Ran was not prepared, there was no need to waste so much, if you could rent it, if you can't rent it, then you can simply replace it.
After all, it's not really a big play, and the costumes are only a part, which doesn't mean that there is a real level and strength.
If you really break into the finals, you can think about it a little, after all, tens of thousands, or even more expensive things, if you don't enter the finals, Jiang Ran feels that she is not qualified to wear them.
If you spend money like this, Jiang Ran also feels that it is not worth it.
At present, only a simple costume is needed, the national style, which is a little worse than the traditional culture, at least not the standard traditional culture, from beginning to end, the elements of the national style, only extracted from the traditional culture, is an inseparable part.
And to add modern things, pure traditional culture has a special program to do, such as adding a few sentences of Peking Opera to the national style program, it will make people feel very classy.
But if it's really an opera show, except for some die-hard fans, no one else should stay on it for too long.
Therefore, even if you choose an excerpt or a singing segment, you must choose the familiar one.
Soon the costume was selected and I walked into the next room.
"Hello, what kind of makeup do you need?"
"The style of light makeup is good, and the rest, add a little bit of opera elements, and it's fine. Jiang Ran said with a smile.
"That's good. ”
"Are your makeup all separate from each other?"
The makeup artist is a middle-aged woman, not pretty, but she looks clean without makeup, and she smiles beautifully.
"Yes, they are all top makeup artists in China, able to meet various needs, I am a little worse, just transferred from Guojing, can only meet the requirements of drama makeup, the others are not particularly professional, but I have also studied for a while. ”
Walking to the dressing room, there was a separate name of Jiang Ran on the door number, Jiang Ran felt that there was no need to explain anything, they were more professional than themselves, and even said that they were independent makeup artists?
Almost one or two people are equipped, in this way, Jiang Ran is looking forward to it even more, a big production!
I used to think about it, it was nothing more than a variety show, there was a selection, and it was good to select an internal one in the end, but I didn't expect that now it will bring him a little different senses.
I think it's really a lot of hard work to send these things from the people above, whether it's from production, to planning, to backstage staff.
It's not an ordinary person, feast, this is a surprise from the country to young people, Jiang Ran said secretly in his heart.
What the state wants to promote is not only traditional culture, but also traditional culture for young people.
Out of the dressing room, walked towards the front desk, the folding fan opened, the style of a peony on it, very conspicuous, but also extremely rich, from the first glance of seeing the peony folding fan, Jiang Ran felt that it seemed that it was okay to sing "The Drunken Concubine".
The folding fan has landscapes, flowers and birds, and the peony is selected alone, and it does not match the color of the clothes, Jiang Ran thinks that it can be regarded as a personal style.
The young people in the backstage are on the stage in turn, and there is also a program list, Jiang Ran glanced at his ranking, it is the fifth, although it is just a appearance, but there is also action design, some miscellaneous, it seems to be more time-consuming, and now it is only the second, Jiang Ran is not in a hurry, sitting in the background, waiting slowly.
can even look at the young people on the stage from time to time, they are all in high spirits, and the second one is a great martial artist, and the stunts performed are all real kung fu.
In just a few seconds, holding the spear from the three tables, a Xuanzi jumped down, landed lightly on one foot, and the spear in his hand held the center, and then took the tip of his toe as the fulcrum, suddenly swirled, and the spear drew a circle with one hand, and the clothes and feathers around the body were all rotated, like a beautiful blue and white disc, beautiful.
Even Jiang Ran couldn't help but praise good kung fu, there are no weak people, this is the top stage, sure enough, although these people don't know where to find them, they don't have to pick their strength, they definitely have entered a certain level.
The only drawback should be the limitations, if you find a professional martial artist, then his performance style is fixed in the martial arts industry, at least a single style can't go too far, the effect of the show needs to be a kind of surprise, to be able to surprise people.
The first time Gu Qiu saw Jiang Ran again, he had some amazing feelings, his cheeks were just pale pink, and his eyebrows were painted and raised, in the opera, in order to highlight the characters, he would pull his head up to create the effect of raising his eyebrows, and now, there is also some style of opera, but it is very light, and the details made by the makeup artist are also very good.
The design of the hairstyle has not changed, just a little blue silk thread lightly tied, which does not have any effect, but it is really eye-catching, and it seems to add a touch of classical beauty on the basis of elegance.
Dressed in white, it is completely the dress of Confucianism in ancient times, and even the temperament of movement and stillness is basically consistent with Jiang Ran, light makeup, plain clothes, the only finishing touch is a paper folding fan.
On the golden yellow color, an extremely gorgeous peony seems to completely highlight the wealth, and the classical beauty is vividly revealed.
"The peony is good-looking, and the appearance is not bad, and the little brother is like a Confucian student who came out of the painting. Gu Qiu sighed sincerely. "No, it's like an immortal. ”
"What do you think, what does this peony mean?" Jiang Ran said with a smile.
"I don't know how to act. Gu Qiu said with a smile, "It's still early, little brother, let's explain this peony." ”
Obviously, you are still haunted by Jiang Ran's sentence that you don't understand the drama.
"Only the peony is true to the national color, the flower season moves the capital, peony, the flower blooms rich, few people do not know the meaning of the peony, and it is not necessarily necessary to see the flowers in the play, in life, it is also a play, do not understand the play, understand life can also. ”
In "The Drunken Concubine" recorded by Mei Zu that year, it is a peony folding fan, Yang Guifei, with a peony, it can be regarded as natural, not only representing wealth, but also charm, and a temperament. ”
"For many years, after the death of Mei Zu, the descendants want to put the brand of the Mei family on the fan, choose Hanmei, it is indeed used with plum blossoms for a period of time, not long after, there is an opera practitioner said, plum blossoms represent Concubine Mei, both of them are competing for the favor of Tang Xuanzong, and Concubine Mei likes plum blossoms very much, Yang Yuhuan is such a proud person, how can he use what his rival likes. ”
The Mei family gave up and continued to use peony as a fan. Jiang Ran said with a smile.
Gu Qiu thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I didn't expect such interesting stories, the stories behind celebrities are also very interesting." ”
"Well, then again, how many people are participating in this time?" Jiang Ran asked.
"Sixty-four. Gu Qiu pushed his glasses and said, "The young generation of various industries, plus the young people who like the national style selected by the audition, are all gathered, I think it's a bit of a trick, half of them will be eliminated in the first round, and the rest will be staggered forward." ”
Jiang Ran couldn't help but exhale lightly, the cruel competition system, the pressure is there.
Although he is only one step away from the master, he is not at the master level after all, the difference is in the charm and all kinds of details, in other words, the poor is the essence of the master, and now he has only reached the peak of his singing, but who knows if anyone will also reach his level at this age.
In addition, whether there will be a chance to win, this is all something that needs to be considered, all in all, it doesn't seem to be as easy as imagined.
Why add a bit of a problem to yourself.
"Little brother, don't worry, here, Master Liu Han also said that it is not enough for you to fight if they are tied together. Gu Qiu said with a smile, "In addition, this is a beginning, I believe in the strength of the little brother." After Gu Qiu saw Jiang Ran's face turn solemn, he said with a laugh.
He is very optimistic about this one, and the next thing is to see how strong it really is, and if it is really outrageously strong, how strong it is.
Although it is difficult to become a master, Jiang Ransheng is young, whether it is his voice or the figure on his body, he can be much stronger.
If you really become a young master, it will be another good story.
