Chapter 187: The Industry Supports It
Except for Xu Zheng's group, which is nervously preparing for the repertoire, the other two groups of contestants are still relatively relaxed at present.
The most relaxed was Li Li, who was half-lying in the sand, drinking tea and listening to everyone's chat. At this time, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and after helping Xu Zheng's team sketch out the outline, he returned to the lounge, and his whole person was very relaxed.
"They didn't know how the rehearsals were going. ”
"It's another Peking Opera-themed repertoire, and it's actually quite difficult. ”
"Does anyone in their group have a foundation in Peking Opera?"
"I don't think so, but I can learn it temporarily!"
……
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly hurriedly walked into the lounge, she grabbed Li Li's arm and asked outside the door, "Li Li, go to the rehearsal room to help us, we feel that some lines should be adjusted." ”
"Adjust the lines?" Li Li was stunned.
"Yes, adjust the lines, that is, there are some 'push' or 'knock' lines, we are a little hesitant, you can help take a look. ”
Li Li got up and took the script, he quickly skimmed through the key marked paragraphs, and said in his heart: This is the problem of 'pushing and knocking', this is the problem of 'heaven and earth', the details of the script are too rough and vulgar, if you want to change it, you have to completely reject and re-create.
Xia Xue suddenly said at this time: "Sister Yuanyuan, the team must complete the details of the script independently." ”
Gao Yuanyuan said: "We will adjust a few places, and we feel that these places are slightly below the level." ”
Li Lixin said: Eldest sister, it's not just these few low levels.
Xia Xue was very embarrassed: "Sister Yuanyuan, but that's also the details! With your delicate emotions, excellent creativity and keen perception of life, I believe it will be easy to solve." ”
Gao Yuanyuan frowned, flipped through the script again, and sighed, "But I don't have any of these things you said!"
Looking at Gao Yuanyuan's cloud-shrouded back, Li Li suddenly felt a little worried that this episode of the show might have a cold reputation.
This worry also rose in the hearts of all the staff, from leaders to ordinary employees, everyone suddenly felt that they might have overestimated the strength level of these actors.
They may have good acting skills, but in terms of script writing ability, they can't match their performance level at all.
Even though it is already a semi-final at this time, and the survival of the fittest has been swept away, the remaining winners are not much better than the eliminated ones.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Xu Zheng's stage play "Looking Back" started.
The outline of the script of this stage play was sketched by Li Li himself, and there is no problem in the big frame, using three scenes to tell the enmity between two famous Peking Opera singers.
But the script was made up by the three contestants in Xu Zheng's group, so the details are mediocre, so-so, not good or bad, although there are occasional brilliance.
The audience watched the performance on stage in silence, very quiet. There is no urge to stand up and applaud, and there is no desire to whisper.
Occasionally, someone whispered a few words:
"The framework of this script is good, but how can it be 'weak' in the details?"
"The idea is very good, the details are average, some pity. ”
"But to be able to come up with a script that can be self-justified in such a short period of time is also worth encouraging. ”
……
The stage play "Looking Back" has entered the climax stage, and it is a performance of the excerpt "Dragon Pavilion" from Peking Opera.
Li Li had never seen this Peking Opera in his previous life, and he was quite full of expectations, but as soon as he opened his voice on stage, he knew that he could sing and split.
It's not that Li Li has many attainments in Peking Opera, but everyone knows how to sing!
Wow!
The audience was in an uproar!
"Damn, what the hell is this singing?!"
"It's completely incomparable to Li Li's "Farewell My Concubine" in the previous show!"
"There is no harm if there is no comparison!"
"I, a person who doesn't understand Peking Opera at all, know how bad this guy's singing skills are on stage!"
"The overall performance of this group is mediocre, and it will languish at the climax, just this singing skill, saying that this character is a famous Peking Opera singer, and the ghost believes it!
"Let's understand, in such a short rehearsal time, it's very good to be able to sing these lines like this!"
"Yes, you can't demand them according to the level of professional actors. ”
"You have to be strict with them, who made them make so much money, and why did Li Li do it so well in such a short time?"
"Why don't you compare yourself to a good person? What do you compare to Li Li? Li Li, is he still within the scope of normal human cognition?"
"That guy is a pervert, you can't compare perverts with ordinary people, that's unfair to us ordinary people!"
……
Li Li coughed several times, but he didn't hear the whispers of the audience, otherwise he might die in happiness.
The stage play "Looking Back" came to an end, and the actors returned to the stage to accept comments and votes.
Zhou Zhou Wei cried on the spot because of guilt because of a major mistake in the Peking Opera performance, and several teachers had to be relieved:
"Yiwei, in fact, you are already very good, let me perform Peking Opera on stage in such a short time, I can't do it better than you. ”
"There is a specialization in the art industry, and as a layman, it is not easy to successfully perform this Peking Opera. After all, we are not Li Li, we don't have a strong memory, and we don't have an unattainable learning ability, we can't compare with this kind of person. ”
Xu Zheng said: "Yes, there is no point in comparing with this kind of person. The meaning of the existence of people like Li Li is only two words: hate!
Looking at the laughter on and off the stage, Li Li hung his head silently. Zhang Ershan said with a smile on the side: "When to be excellent is also a mistake, but if it is a mistake, I especially want to be wrong again and again." If aliens invade the earth, will various countries arrest people like you and concentrate on scientific research projects?"
Li Li: "......"
……
On the stage, the tutors commented on the performance just now, and when it came to the script, Gao Yuanyuan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, the outline of our script was given to us by Li Li. ”
The audience was shocked: What?
The instructors pretended to be shocked and asked why.
Gao Yuanyuan said: "As actors, basically the vast majority of us have not participated in the creation of scripts, so we have not personally felt the difficulty of creating excellent scripts.
But today's show gives us a chance to experience it firsthand, and I want to say to those wonderful playwrights, you are amazing!"
Gao Yuanyuan said, bowed to the camera, and said: "When we got this topic, we kept discussing it intensely for the first half hour, and after half an hour, we were all silent, because we quickly understood that it was too unrealistic to come up with a script worthy of the audience in just one or two hours...... Thank you Li Li for your help in the framework of the script. ”
As Gao Yuanyuan bowed again, the other two actors, whether out of sincerity or helplessness, also bowed.
The audience applauded, and now everyone suddenly understands that it is no wonder that the script structure is good, and there is no fault with the beginning and end, but the key details such as lines and performances are not very impressive.
It turns out that the kitchenware is good kitchenware, but the chef can't!
……
On the stage, Wen Wen invited Peking Opera master Li Weikang to the stage, and after Mr. Li Weikang commented on several actors, Sa Beining asked: "Teacher, I don't know if you pay attention to the Internet, from last night to today, have you paid attention to the debate on the Internet about the 'world's three major performance systems'?"
Li Weikang nodded: "There has been a little attention!"
"What do you think of this controversy, as a master of Peking Opera performance?"
Li Weikang suddenly said excitedly: "It's pure nonsense!"
The audience was collectively silent, nervous about Li Li, everyone didn't expect the old lady to be so excited!
Li Weikang: "What are the three major systems in the world? Isn't Peking Opera an art without the title of the 'Big Three'? Isn't it the quintessence of the country? Is it necessary to have a ridiculous title to make Peking Opera look noble? It's just nonsense!"
Only then did the audience put their minds at ease, and what they dared to say was not Li Li's nonsense.
"Peking Opera should return to the art itself, rather than pursuing some illusory reputation, I have not heard Mr. Mei Lanfang call himself a few years old, nor have I heard his mentor Mr. Hua Huilin talk about the achievements of Peking Opera, but there are always some people who sell their fame and reputation and always feel that Peking Opera is missing something. What's missing? Title!
The problem facing Peking Opera now is a question of survival, not a question of 'several majors', how not to be eliminated by the times, how to improve Peking Opera to serve the masses, and how to make Peking Opera avoid the embarrassment of being on the verge of elimination, which is something that the industry should reflect on.
Peking Opera must be reformed, if not reformed, there is only a dead end, it is necessary to hold on to the defects, it is necessary to break away from the times, our Peking Opera is no longer the time to be touted, we have now touted it as a living fossil, and it is estimated that it will soon become a 'fossil'!
……
If art can't go to the public, is it still called art?
……
Any voice that tries to hinder the reform of Peking Opera is an act of driving Peking Opera into the coffin!
……”
The more the old gentleman talked, the more excited he became, the more he talked, and Yu Yazhi frowned when he heard it, where did he say this, didn't he talk about the "three major performing arts", how did he talk about the reform of Peking Opera?
Li Weikang couldn't stop talking about the sore spots of Peking Opera, and even talked about the special period: "It's ridiculous that those who engage in drama reform use naturalistic methods and drama to demand Peking Opera." What do you say about cloud hands, lying fish, harriers turning over, and stumbling are all formalism, pitting people......
It was during this period that Mr. Huang Zuolin wrote Mei Lanfang, Stanislavsky and Brecht's Comparative Views of Drama, in order to distinguish between the two completely different performance styles of realism and freehand, so as to protect Peking Opera. I didn't expect it to be misinterpreted as 'the world's three major performing arts' 2o years later, and I didn't expect it to be printed in textbooks.
What a joke in the world!
……”
In the corner of the stage, Song Dong covered his forehead, "This gentleman is so able to speak, he is full of righteous indignation, and we can't interrupt people." ”
Lao Kong said: "Let's cut it later." ”
"How well do you think it's cut?"
"Well, just cut it into Mr. Yu's style. ”
Then maybe there is only one sentence left in this generous statement - Li Li is right. ”
While the two of them were hugging and snickering, a feminine gaze behind them was staring at them coldly.
……
The old gentleman finally vented his anger and worries about the survival of Peking Opera, and more than 1o minutes passed.
The audience gave a warm applause, because the old gentleman's integrity, open-mindedness and insight into art also had the potential to applaud Li Li.
After the applause subsided, the three instructors expressed their attitudes in turn.
Zhang Ziyi took the lead and said: "I find it difficult to understand the quarrel on the Internet about the 'three major performing arts'. When I was in Chinese opera school, my teacher specially corrected this fallacy in the book with us!"
Xu Zheng also said: "Regarding Li Li's speech at the Academy of Arts yesterday, I also watched the video circulating on the Internet, and I especially like the part where Li Li picked mistakes in more than a dozen textbooks.
I want to say that the mistake that Li Li picked out in that segment is indeed a mistake, Li Li is right! Li Li is right, it is not a big deal, I think the most remarkable thing is that Li Li picked out a number of mistakes from each book with a smile and a smile?
I can't understand this, I don't believe that anyone can flip through the problems in the textbook as casually as Li Li, my intelligence does not allow me to understand, unless, as netizens said, Li Li, are you rehearsed?
Amid the laughter of the audience, Zhang Ziyi said proudly: "I witnessed it with my own eyes yesterday afternoon. ”
"Witness it with your own eyes?" Xu Zheng asked suspiciously.
"That's right, I went to the Giessen Academy of Arts to see Li Li's speech!"
The audience couldn't help but sigh again, let the famous international movie star go to the school to watch the speech of a new generation of actors, what kind of treatment is this, it is definitely true love! What does this have to make Li Li like?
At this time, Nuan asked: "What about the three major performance systems-"
Xu Zheng: "There's nothing to say about this, my intelligence doesn't allow me to explain anything to those netizens who support the 'Big Three', and I hope Li Li will also remain silent about it." ”
Sa Beining asked Zhang Jiayi again: "Teacher Jiayi, what do you think?"
"I'll just say that the man you are questioning may have more insight than all three of our mentors here, and at least we don't know that some of Brecht's scripts were ghostwritten. You know what?"
Xu Zheng and Zhang Ziyi shook their heads one after another.
"Look, how is it!" Zhang Jia spread out his hands, "It is no exaggeration to say that after more than three months of contact, with my understanding of Li Li, he can completely replace him and sit in my seat!"
There was an instant buzz in the studio, and everyone was excitedly discussing:
"That's too high, isn't it?"
"Li Li sits in the position of a mentor? This is a bit ridiculous! Does Li Li have the qualifications to sit down?"
"It's true that I don't have qualifications, I'm too young and haven't had any works, but my strength should be enough. ”
"It's too famous, but Li Li has the qualifications to be too famous?!"
"Whether it is too good or not, for Li Li, it is a matter of a work, as long as Li Li has a hit work, there will be no controversy about sitting in the position of the mentor. ”
"Yes, it's awesome anywhere, it's just a personal work. ”
……
Sa Bei Ning said: "The applause below invites Li Li to come to the stage!"
Listening to the strong applause on TV, Li Li had no choice but to get up and prepare to take the stage, shouldn't it be the scoring stage of Xu Zheng's group now, why did it revolve around himself?
Walking on the stage and facing the applause of the audience, Li Li bowed slightly, and then he heard Zhang Jiayi ask: "Li Li, what is the matter with the so-called Brecht ghostwriting door, one of the three major performance systems?"
The three mentors, director Chen Kaige, and everyone in the expert team all looked at Li Li intently, and everyone was obviously unclear about this matter.
Li Li said: "In fact, some of the so-called Brecht's works are ghostwritten by mistresses and friends, and this concept is not very reliable. In my "Some Arguments on the Fallacy of the 'Three Major Performance Systems in the World'" published this morning, I marked this point with the word 'highly doubtful'.
This statement actually comes from the American writer's "Brecht Biography", but this book has a tendency to hunt for curiosity, and many things are unreliable and cannot be fully trusted. ”
Chen Kaige asked: "American writers, isn't it the German Thorne series?"
Li Li shook his head, "It's not that one, it's written by a lesser-known writer in the United States." ”
Chen Kaige was very curious, "I'm quite interested in Brecht and have been researching it, but why haven't I seen the book you said came out of the Americans?"
"Uh......" Li Li guessed, "I guess it's because it has just been published and there is no Chinese translation in China?"
The audience was speechless for an instant, how much do you read when you co-author?
Chen Kaige was overjoyed: "Do you still read the original English book?"
Zhang Ziyi smiled: "He may still read the original Norwegian book!"
Li Li hugged his head: "I really don't know Norwegian!"
Li Li has explained this matter many times when he doesn't know Norwegian, but no one believes it!
Li Li Yuguang saw the three members of Xu Zheng's team, who were bored waiting for the score.
