Chapter 11 Life and Art

After two days of doing this, they both felt tired and panicked. So after discussion, they changed to another form and adopted the method of improvisation. After consideration, a few attractions were selected, and a Parisian boy from the university was hired to hold a background sign. Naturally, the background card was marked with French. He said that only one content should be selected in a scene, but it can be changed to the connotation and form of different eras at any time to show the rhythm and magic of the reform and change in the East. The first one to choose is the school standing ceremony and the adult meeting ceremony. The second choice is the evolution of the morning song, which is "Dongfang Hong" in the morning and the popular song in the countryside at noon. The third was a song from the early eighties when the rural youth were working, and the fourth was the change in the costumes of the urban youth.

After these basic contents and forms were determined, they began to prepare the props.

According to the prior plan, it was implemented several times, and the effect was also very good. But they still feel that the taste is insufficient, there is a deliberate meaning, it is not enough to restore the past time, and the vicissitudes of the years are much worse. So, he said that if we want to find the feeling and more similar taste of the prototype, we have to go back to the past in concrete life, just change clothes, like acting, it's really not good. Wang Fengjie thought about it and said, okay, then let's insist on the days and months, live once a quarter in the past, and live completely according to the situation, language and habits at that time.

Just do it, and the next week they will go to life according to the outfit and work of the nineties and ninety-five years. Whether it is Feng Jie going to class, or Luo Tianxing teaching children in Paris to learn Chinese, they are all dressed as before, their words and deeds are restored, and even the details such as eating and drinking have returned to the time of the year. But there are also themes, and the theme is changed at a time to interpret the actual scene of the year.

It's also a feat to merge everyday behavior with the performing arts.

She is a follower of the art of life, and she is also practicing, in this metropolis, she no longer has the influence and interference of others, how to live, how to live, almost all of her own decisions. Of course, this is also a high-standard life pursuit recognized by Luo Tianxing, and she also agrees, so she has the idea and action of staging a living drama in the world together.

Performance art is a kind of practice that transcends the limitations of time and returns to the past, which is their favorite. When they arrived in Paris, they lived the life they wanted, and every bit of it had personalized colors, because in foreign countries, there were no acquaintances, and there was a cultural barrier, and they didn't care at all, and only did what they liked.

This is the second year of experience and life in Europe, and the year before in Berlin, Germany, they also did some different things.

In this land and air hub metropolis known for advocating a free lifestyle and modern spirit, Luo Tianxing and Wang Fengjie are not idle, and there are some activities prepared in advance every holiday. Dressed in Tang costumes today and Ming and Qing costumes tomorrow, they walked freely through the colorful architectural jungle of the capital. No matter what the passers-by thought of them, they didn't care, so why should they go about it. It's like this is your own territory, and there is no taboo. What they have to do is to regularly embody a personalized lifestyle, as well as a maverick standard of behavior, and not be swayed by the world. The art of life, and the life of art, is what they pursue in itself, and their purpose is nothing more than to flaunt the dignity and free spirit of human beings everywhere from form to content, and perhaps there is also the aesthetic complex and mystery of the East.

Sometimes, they also go to the nearby countryside to experience the exquisite natural scenery on the edge of this plain city, and the two lovers each ride a bicycle, racing and singing, singing songs of their homeland. When they arrived at their destination, they either went to harvest with the farmer or went to the pasture to play, as if it was their hometown, warm, quiet, full of peace and natural beauty, bringing them a warm feeling of home.

Of course, more often than not, they follow their classmates or alumni to the city's cultural reputation and experience the ancient civilization and history and culture of Germany. Wandering through this metropolis surrounded by greenery and full of attractions, they have a desire to sing and dance in the heart of Europe. Take a look –

At Alexanderplatz, they spent 40 seconds climbing the TV Tower, the tallest building in Berlin, to the top revolving café, drinking a cup of coffee and overlooking the pedestrians of the square, and then descending to the next attraction.

When you come to the Brandenburg Gate, you can recall the origin of this symbol of Berlin and Germany, and imagine how this solemn and majestic building fully demonstrated the dignity of the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia in its heyday. Looking at the bronze cast two-wheeled four-horse chariot of the goddess of victory, they seemed to have returned to the long river of history.

Walking on the street under the Bodhi tree, feeling the leaves of the Bodhi tree, the fragrance is fragrant, and it is as if returning to the embrace of the Asian Buddha country.

In the center of the city, the two of them were patronized, if not for anything else, but to see these two thinkers often, and then continue to reminisce about the far-reaching and practical significance of the sage's thoughts.

The advantage of being abroad is that you can play tricks by your own temperament, and no one will pay attention to you, let alone interfere with you. You are your own. Of course, there must be sufficient economic conditions to support it.

There are also quite a few programs and events that I am proud of. For example, in the Cultural Revolution program they wrote and acted in, when they performed "Memories of Bitterness and Sweetness", he played the flute, she performed dance, and her mouth was still singing: I don't forget that year, the crescent moon was shining, the production team held a meeting, complained about the grievances and avenged the grievances, the evil old society, and the blood and tears of the poor...... When performing the Red Guards' revolutionary program during the Cultural Revolution, they all sang the red songs very vigorously, and her favorite singing was the grassland pastoral song, which he also used to accompany with the flute, as well as "The East Wind Blows". As for her, she loves the dances in the model plays, such as the famous song and dance scene in "The Detachment of Colored Women", "Forward, forward, the responsibility of the warrior is heavy, and the grievances of women are deep". She wore a military uniform and performed on stage, and he blew spitting and trilling offstage, often cooperating tacitly.

The time and place of their performances are also random, they can perform wherever they go, and as long as they are in a good mood, they can perform anywhere.

In addition to revolutionary themes, there are also performances or performances of folk tunes. The two of them have co-starred in a unique Chinese cross talk program, when performing "Jigong Living Buddha", Xiao Luo held a banana fan, wore tattered clothes, and helped the people to help the poor, she learned to sing the humorous and joking theme song of the male voice singing the shoes and hats, and it was performed in German and French respectively, which was welcomed and loved by teachers and students.

Speaking of personal specialties alone, she is a strong player on the sports field, ball games, sprinting is no problem, the best is kung fu, she learned Dahong boxing as a child, the best is the three-section whip, and stick skills, three or two young people are not close. In less than three years, she has also written three novellas and one novella, all of which have international backgrounds, and the characters are also students abroad, or studying abroad or working part-time.

Of course, there are also plots of their roadshow in the novel. She taught a few foreign students to sing Chinese songs, which was very energetic, for example, when they learned to sing the folk song "Shandandan Enlightenment Red Yanyan" in northern Shaanxi, they led a group of foreign college students to sing passionately "Thousands of households, hey, hey, hey, open the door, hey, our relatives sit around their relatives, Yi'er come on, yo he", her movements and tunes were corrected by her lover. Sometimes, Luo Tianxing also participated, singing with them - "Several degrees of wind and rain, several degrees of spring and autumn, wind, frost, snow and rain fight the flow, for the smile of relatives, for the harvest of the earth, the eventful years, why not be afraid of the romance." She explained the scene to her classmates in German or French in an attempt to arouse their revolutionary enthusiasm, but it was always difficult to meet the target, so she shook her head in anger, and said, "Doesn't your country have the fighting spirit that it has since the world changed?" In the end, there was no way out, so he told her that the material stimulus came quickly, so she nodded and complied, and practiced decently in the afternoon, and then they used their leisure time on holidays to perform in the dormitory, and the effect was still satisfactory to them.

It should have been the early stage of the reform, so they asked their friends in China to mail various costumes at that time, put them on the actors they gathered, and started the roadshow of the reform process. In a performance, you have to change your costume four times and reapply your makeup, but your makeup is also very simple, that is, you can change your face and redraw it, and you can see the expression of the changing times and the rhythm of material abundance. Of course, the ensuing songs have also become popular songs or lyrical songs that are in line with the times, "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains and Always Love" sung by Wang Mingquan, Teresa Teng's "There are Many Stories in a Small Town", and Zhang Mingmin's "My Chinese Heart". Although their performances are improvisational, they are still fresh abroad. In this process, they have really cultivated several Chinese singing talents, so these actors have become more and more energetic in learning Chinese, and gradually cultivated their strong interest in learning. By the third year, several of them had gone to China to study, and of course, there was the hard work and long-term efforts of the couple. This is also a major reason why they are never discouraged and slack, and in their opinion, their actions are always rewarding. is also because, after all, this is what they want to do, and they don't need to have much result to support it. Of course, they also often update the way of performance, whether it is form or content, they always adhere to the principle of change, which is also their own needs, and they have no other more far-reaching plans. Words and deeds are combined with life, art and life as much as possible is their best standard.
