Chapter 520
"That's my opinion. It stands to reason that this show can't even pass the first trial. Lan Chunxiao said: "However, this is a program of the deaf and mute art troupe, this is a very special and difficult group, I want to help them, but I don't have a good idea, so please come over as a creative director and see if you have any good ideas." ”
"Deaf and dumb?" Ye Zheng's heart was shocked, and he instantly remembered two famous dance programs that were closely related to deaf and mute. "Grateful Heart" and "Thousand-armed Guanyin". The sign language dance of "Grateful Heart" is a dance that is very popular among the public, and it is also a representative propaganda repertoire and dance for the public welfare of the deaf and mute.
"Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" is a dance that once appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the previous life and attracted widespread attention and unanimous praise. And went abroad, and the performances in more than 40 countries caused a sensation. Later, it was performed as the main program at the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games, which shocked the world. Both of these shows are undoubtedly very suitable for this group of young girls to perform.
However, because it is deaf and mute, there are many factors to consider, after all, it is now the end of November, and there is only one and a half months before the Spring Festival Gala. But think about it, it is said that "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" in his previous life also took more than a month of intense rehearsal time, and Ye Zheng really wanted to put this classic and beautiful show on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
So, Ye Zheng told Lan Chunxiao the idea of this dance. "What is your brain made of?I suspect you are a master dancer now!" Lan Chunxiao and the others all looked at Ye Zheng in shock. They invited Ye Zheng to see what good ideas he had and modify this dance, but they didn't expect Ye Zheng to come up with a new dance. It's an unheard of idea, and it's a great idea to applaud!
"You go with me to Hubei Province to find them!" Lan Chunxiao immediately said: "Every year's Spring Festival Gala, there are two or three large-scale dances, but they are becoming more and more boring, especially in the past few years, I can't find a stunning one that can be performed as a perennial performance after the Spring Festival Gala performance." This year, we want to present a wonderful dance performance to the audience and friends across the country!" At the end of November, when Ye Zheng was pulled by Lan Chunxiao to Hubei to meet the Spring Breeze Deaf and Mute Performing Arts Troupe, the two albums of Time and Space Music, "Taste" and "Love Like a Tide", officially began to be released. Ye Zheng was originally going to release the "Father and Mother" sung by all the singers of Time and Space Music after these two albums, but after the Spring Festival Gala gave them a second place, Ye Zheng changed his mind and postponed it. At the beginning of December, when the national entertainment media had just paid attention to the two albums Ye Zheng participated in the production, "Taste", "Understanding" and "Love Like a Tide" and other songs spread rapidly across the country, Time and Space Music launched an album with only two songs without publicity. The album's fame is called "Sangsang and Yanyan".
has not undergone any publicity, but there are still many media who have paid attention to the release of this album, just because this album was created by Ye Zheng. Produced by Ye Zheng, it must be a high-quality product. This phrase has been widely circulated among the people. Almost every time a new song created by Ye Zheng is released, everyone will hurry up to listen to it. The reason why this "Sangsang and Yanyan" aroused the curiosity of the media and the public is that there are only two songs, there is no doubt that this is an EP album, according to the introduction of the album, the name of this album is the name of the singers of the two songs, and they are a mother and daughter.
When people who bought the album in high spirits opened the album packaging, they saw a story. The story of a mother with leukemia and a little girl. The story is only two or three hundred words, and there is not much incendiary language, but it only narrates the story and current situation of Sangsang and Yanyan, but it makes everyone who sees this story silent and quiet. The story doesn't mention Ye Zheng too much, but it just says that Ye Zheng was moved by their mother and daughter and composed two songs for their mother and daughter. A song "Kiss My Baby" and a song "Only Mother is Good in the World", the former is sung by a mother to her child, and the latter is sung by a child to her mother. An EP album with only two songs, one of which is sung by Yanyan, who has any singing experience every month. The frenzy of buzz that sparked after the album's release overshadowed the first two albums of Time and Space Music in just a few days. A netizen commented: "The first song of this album is "Kiss My Baby", and the second song is "Only Mom is Good in the World", when I listened to the first song, my heart was full of softness, I am a person who has just become a mother, this song is written as if it is my heart, I want to do everything for my children." I feel the same way, so I am moved.
Then I thought that this was sung by a mother who was about to die, and my heart was very sad. This sadness exploded when I heard the second song, and I burst into tears. I can't think of any flowery words, but I just want to say that this is the most beautiful song I've heard this year, and there's nothing more beautiful than motherly love!" I didn't dare to listen to this song anymore, I was afraid that my tears would burst like a. I've listened to this song dozens of times over and over again today, and I've been in tears.
The sentence 'A child without a mother is like a grass, leaving the arms of his mother, where to find happiness' pierced my heart like a sharp sword. When I was four years old, my mother died in a car accident, and my father married my stepmother, although my stepmother provided me with food and clothing, but never looked at me squarely, and then later, my stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, and I was even more harsh to me, I was less than ten years old when I had to work in the field after school, not to mention, what delicious food was my brother's, if I did something wrong, I would be beaten and scolded......
I don't want to continue reminiscing about that time, I miss my mom, my real mother, and I have recalled the vague memories of lying in my mother's arms in countless dreams, and every time I wake up with a tear-wet pillow. Today my tears are dry, I don't dare to listen to this song anymore, I am afraid of this feeling of heartache to the depths of my soul. ”
Someone else said, "I love my mother, I love my daughter, I want to sing this song to my mother, and I want to teach my daughter to learn this song." "My daughter learned this song today, and she sang it to me, and I've listened to it many times. But when my daughter sang to me, I couldn't stop crying. The song "Only Mom is Good in the World" was quickly sung in the streets and alleys across the country at a tornado speed, and this song topped the list on major music charts and was unshakable. "It wins with emotion. A music critic said: "The lyrics of this song are simple, the composition is simple, and it is sung by a little girl who has no singing skills. But I don't think anyone is going to criticize the song with this flaw.
It even seems to me that these blemishes are not called blemishes, but perfection. Every child in the world, when every child sings this song to his mother, there will be flaws, but I think every mother will cry when she listens to it. Do they feel that their children's singing is flawed? No, there is no flaw in maternal love! A child's attachment to his mother is also flawless!" "The song is simple! Mother's love is not simple!" "Xiangjiang Entertainment News" reported on the song with such a title, and reported on the sensation caused by this song in China and even in the whole of Asia. ""Only Mom is Good in the World" has aroused the attention of the whole people to mother's love, and the musical genius Ye Zheng has made tears all over the country!" "Contemporary Music Circle" reported on this song and did a street interview to interview people's evaluation of this song. Almost everyone who has heard this song will mention one word, moved! However, at a time when most people are moved by this album, there are also discordant voices that appear.
"Time and Space Music used such a miserable mother and daughter as a gimmick, just to promote their company, improve the company's popularity, or use everyone's sympathy to pre-promote the sales of singer Sang Sang's next album. I also sympathize with the mother and daughter, but because of this, my brother has been arranged a decent job by the county government, and their family has also received a compensation of 100,000 yuan for mental damage because of the previous incident. She also signed a contract with Time and Space Music to prepare this piano music album, and no longer worry about money.
But she felt that her current days were not as happy as they were in those days. The more he was inside the music of time and space, the more Lin Yujia could feel Ye Zheng's ability. A huge company was founded by him, and the entire company, whether it is a high-level manager, a famous arranger or a low-level worker, all have a heart of reverence for Ye Zheng. Here, Ye Zheng is really like a giant. In this environment, Ye Zheng's status was set to a higher level, so Lin Yujia felt even more insignificant, so the feelings of the past were like a feather, gradually disappearing in the wind...... Whenever she saw Ye Zheng's smile, she had a feeling that she was about to melt. And when Ye Zheng came back to see her from outside, he would take her to eat together, buy her some snacks, and talk to her.
Especially once, she learned from the meaningful words of the recording teacher that the first thing Ye Zheng did when he came to the company these two times was to come to see her first before dealing with the company's affairs. Thinking of these things, Lin Yujia's heart would feel warm and itchy again, and the feather flew back at some point, scratching her heart constantly.
When the outside world was in an uproar because of Ye Zheng's album, Ye Zheng had been busy with the rehearsals of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" in Hubei, and under the auspices of Lan Chunxiao and Ye Zheng, 21 people were finally selected to perform this show.
But the rehearsal of the dance is a difficult problem, first of all, the difficulty of communication, there must be a sign language interpreter all the time to follow, one sign language interpreter is not enough, after all, sign language is easy to get tired, so they are equipped with two sign language interpreters.
The Spring Breeze Deaf and Dumb Performing Arts Troupe also attaches great importance to this matter and provides a lot of support, but the biggest difficulty is not the language communication, but the dancers' memory and positioning of the movements. Because of the particularity of the dance of Thousand-Armed Guanyin, many movements require that the position of each person's hand must be firmly positioned, otherwise as long as it is a little bit worse, a little mistake, the effect will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the actor's body type, verve, and grasp and match the rhythm of the music are all very difficult things. Ye Zheng was a little worried about this matter, but Lan Chunxiao showed a stern demeanor, strictly requiring every dancer to memorize every movement, and formulated more than one punishment plan. Then Ye Zheng was also ruthless, learned from Lan Chunxiao, and treated every dancer harshly. "You are a special group of people, but you can't think of yourself as a special person when it comes to dancing. You must be strict with yourself with the requirements of normal people, and I will also demand the same from you!" Facing these dancers, Ye Zheng said: "When you stand on the stage, it is the time to show the beauty of dance to the audience, instead of showing your disability and gaining sympathy! You must use the dance art itself to deserve the applause and applause of the audience! I believe in you, and you must also believe in yourself!" There are always more ways than difficulties.
In order to let these actors have a uniform arm thickness, Ye Zheng and Lan Chunxiao asked actors with thick arms to lose the flesh on their arms. Lan Chunxiao thought of a good way, when training, wrap those fatter arms with plastic wrap, which will increase the contraction of the arms, make the arms sweat, and the arms will gradually become thinner over time. In order for them to have a good body shape, they will also do a lot of exercise every day.
It is the most difficult thing to make dance match the rhythm of music, music is the soul of dance, even if it is a healthy person to grasp dance music, it is not easy, not to mention that these deaf and mute people can only understand through sign language, and receive rhythm information through the gestures of the sign language teacher. However, the deaf dancers have their unique innate perception and special way of learning and perception, so the progress was relatively smooth. One of the things that touched Ye Zheng deeply was that these dancers not flinched in the face of Ye Zheng and Lan Chunxiao's strict requirements, but worked hard to rehearse one by one.
Ye Zheng once watched them turn up the volume of the soundtrack louder, put their ears tightly on the soundtrack, and felt the beat of the music through the vibration of the soundtrack. Looking at their serious and confused eyes, Ye Zheng's tears almost flowed out. These girls with physical disabilities have a strong and enterprising heart that ordinary people can't match. Everyone is working hard, Ye Zheng feels that this is the hardest and most tiring time he has ever had in this period of time, he is working very hard, trying to restore every action in his memory in its original form. Everyone's hard work is just to put this wonderful "Thousand Hands Guanyin" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
has been in Hubei for a week before Ye Zheng left Hubei, and the follow-up work temporarily let Lan Chunxiao do it for him, and he had to go back to help review other Spring Festival Gala programs. The dancers of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" will also rush to Yanjing before the first rehearsal. Since becoming this creative director, Ye Zheng has been busy, after all, there are still some things that he needs to deal with in time and space music, and he is also responsible for the creation and arrangement of songs, especially the Black Butterfly Band's new album "Sea and Sky" has begun to be promoted and is making final sales preparations. After three rock albums, Time and Space Music has not withdrawn from a new rock album for nearly half a year, and at this time it is about to exit a rock album, and it is a Cantonese rock album, which immediately attracted an amazement. Ye Zheng, a musical genius, has to create across languages after creating across multiple styles? There is no doubt that "Cold Rainy Night" and "Lover", which were only used for album promotion, were praised by the people, musicians and media in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. It is foreseeable that Time and Space Music's intention to expand the music market and its determination to vigorously build the Black Butterfly Band.
So, there is entertainment gossip news that is so good to the Black Butterfly Band, is there really an ulterior relationship between Xiao Qi and Ye Zheng? After being busy for half a month, Ye Zheng finally got temporarily freed from the music company and the Spring Festival Gala, and took time to return to school for a few days and take the final exam. Then he found the director Du Ge and several teachers, and left them an economic theory that did not exist in this world. Subsequently, Ye Zheng and Cheng Yijian came to the filming base of "The Two of Us". Because this movie shows different scenes throughout the year, it is destined that the filming time must be as long as a year, and what is being filmed now is the winter scene, but when director Ma Liwen was shooting, the reason for the small cost was because there was no money, and the total investment was 2.2 million, but Ye Zheng was not short of money, so there was no financial defect, just the planning of the actor's salary was one million. The heroine is not played by Wang Ying or Ma Huijie, but Yang Lan, the girl who was praised by Ye Zheng in the Star Square, and later played a deaf-mute swimmer in the micro-movie.
There is nothing that can't be done, Yang Lan's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds during this time. And this movie is about ordinary life, and it doesn't require very skilled acting skills. In the original movie, Gong Zhe, the actor of Xiaoma, is a college student who has no acting experience, and was dragged to film by Ma Liwen at the door of the school cafeteria, and then she won the Best Newcomer Award at the 13th Beijing University Student Film Festival in 2006, the Best Newcomer Award at the 7th Chinese Film Media Awards in 2007, and the Best Supporting Actress nomination at the 25th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards in 2005. Ye Zheng and Cheng Yijian both felt that Yang Lan was quite suitable for this role, and Yang Lan's performance in the pre-shooting also made them very satisfied.
The old lady is played by Zhao Yawen, an old actor with rich acting experience who was found with the help of director Hong Guang. Another old lady supporting role was played by a friend of Zhao Yawen. As for Hong Guang, he cooperated with Five Elements Film and Television again, and he is now the director of "Do Not Disturb". Ye Zheng didn't participate in the filming of this movie at all, just give them the script, how to shoot is their business. It's already a holiday, but the people in the crew haven't had a holiday yet, they are going to shoot for another ten days before the New Year, and then go back to their respective homes for the New Year, and come back to shoot after the New Year.
With Ye Zheng's identity, investment and the support of the script, the team of the entire film studio is now full of fighting spirit, and they know that Ye Zheng, as the chairman of a music company, will not be as simple as just having fun since he supports them to make movies. Lin Yujia did not leave for the time being, she did not follow the shooting team, but wanted to record a piano music album at Time and Space Music. Sitting in the recording studio of time and space music, Lin Yujia still had a feeling of being unable to relax. She remembered that less than a month ago, Ye Zheng asked her if she planned to record a piano music album, although she thought that Ye Zheng might help her achieve this wish, but she never thought that it would be achieved in such a way.
She played this song "Song of Spring" that Ye Zheng recently handed to her, and the beating notes were like her beating heart at this time, she was the only one in the whole room to practice the piano here, and Ye Zheng went to Huaxia TV to be busy for the Spring Festival Gala program. These days, Ye Zheng only found some time to come over to practice with her, and the rest of the time was busy. She began to miss the days at school, the relaxed and pleasant days when the two of them played the piano and chatted in the piano room at school. Even at that time, she was busy studying and working part-time, in order to relieve her brother of some burdens.
Now, my brother has been arranged by the county government to get a decent job, and their family has also received a compensation of 100,000 yuan for mental damage because of the previous incident. She also signed a contract with Time and Space Music to prepare this piano music album, and no longer worry about money. But she felt that her current days were not as happy as they were in those days. The more he was inside the music of time and space, the more Lin Yujia could feel Ye Zheng's ability. A huge company was founded by him, and the entire company, whether it is a high-level manager, a famous arranger or a low-level worker, all have a heart of reverence for Ye Zheng. Here, Ye Zheng is really like a giant. In this environment, Ye Zheng's status was set to a higher level, so Lin Yujia felt even more insignificant, so the feelings of the past were like a feather, gradually disappearing in the wind...... Whenever she saw Ye Zheng's smile, she had a feeling that she was about to melt.
