"Actually, I'm quite interested in "Confucius" too!"

If these words came out of other people's mouths, they probably just showed that they were more interested in this upcoming "Confucius" dance drama, but when they came out of Chen Ange's mouth, the listeners would hear other meanings.

Shen Ning glanced at Chen Ange, and then at Yang Jing.

Yang Jing was also stunned.

Interested in Confucius?

This is the preparation......

"What do you think of Confucius?"

Shen Ning didn't say a word, and began to ask.

"Since it is a dance drama, the theme must be determined first, just like Li Bai's birth and entry into the WTO, but compared to Li Bai, Confucius's life is very plastic, such as his many disciples, but since it is to promote culture, the scene must be large, if you pay attention to teaching and description, it will fall behind, so in my opinion, if you really want to choreograph a dance drama, at least you have to describe it from the lobbying of various countries!"

"Of course, traveling around the world is the theme, and the people's livelihood and wars of the vassal states should be described from the side, so that everyone can understand that era! However, in this way, the sense of historical weight is the most important, so in the costumes, props, music festivals, we must focus on the effort, moreover, dance drama and drama are different, drama is mainly lines, but dance drama is different, dance is the language of the actors, so choreography is more difficult. ”

Chen Ange said a lot in one breath, and these things are impossible for ordinary people, even insiders, to say at the first time.

And Chen Ange was able to say it as soon as possible, although these things can almost be settled after consulting the information, but at least as Chen Ange said, he is indeed a little interested in "Confucius", otherwise how could he say these words casually, and even point out the topics that should be written in the book.

And lobbying is exactly what he has been focusing on during this time.

Now that Chen Ange is so little, he really thinks that he can take traveling around the world as a theme.

It's just that as Chen Ange said, if lobbying is the theme, then it will be difficult to choreograph.

After all, at that time, the princes and countries had different national conditions, and Confucius, who had not been mythologized at that time, was just a young man full of ambition and outspoken, but his doctrine was not recognized by the people in power in various countries.

As Chen Ange said, lobbying is the mainstay, supplemented by the livelihood of the people of various countries, ideals, ambitions, setbacks, etc., this kind of changeable mood also indicates that dance is also changeable.

This is very demanding for the choreographer. Of course, it is not only the choreographer, but also the requirements for dancers.

"I'm just talking nonsense!" Chen Ange smiled!

"No, no, no, what you said is similar to what I have considered, my recent focus is to check Confucius's record of traveling around the world and lobbying for kings, but ...... There is too little information, and many of the descriptions are brushed aside, not as much as when Confucius was teaching!"

"This is natural, now Confucius has been deified, Confucius who traveled around the world at the beginning, is also a living person, he also has to eat, to sleep, will hit the wall, will be angry, will be sad, joy, anger and sorrow are even richer than ordinary people, but have been deified Confucius, those records are naturally slowly decreasing, the initiators may be those descendants of Confucianism, or some of the current dynasty. It is indeed risky to adapt this, everyone knows that Confucius is a person who exists in history, but a certain part of the people pushed him to the altar, if you want to choreograph a stage play, you have to pull him down from the altar and put him in the time, the country and the natural environment. ”

Shen Ning suddenly had a feeling of hating Chen Ange, although Chen Ange was not yet thirty years old, he was really surprised that he could say so many things casually.

The most important thing is that Chen Ange got to the point.

Because of the Restoration, there was some paranoia in the Confucian system.

Although it is impossible to break the law if it is really adapted on stage, it is not a good thing to be targeted by flies.

"Actually, the book is better, but it's hard to choreograph!"

Chen Ange recalled the "Confucius" he had watched in his previous life, in fact, the plot was originally ready-made, and this kind of book has no lines to speak of, it is basically just a big pattern.

But the most important thing is the dance and music and the changes in the whole stage.

Just talking about dance, the leading actor must use body movements to express the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of Confucius.

The other actors also have to use dance to express some deeper historical pictures.

"He told me the idea before, and I tried to express it in the form of dance, which is really difficult, and on top of that, music is also a big problem. ”

In fact, a "Li Bai" was also polished by her for several years, not to mention that Confucius's ideological concepts at the beginning were deeper than Li Bai's, and the expression of dance must be more than Li Bai's.

But creation, even if it's just a millimeter more, is as difficult as the sky.

"Or ...... Shall I try?"

Chen Ange thought about it, this is not to repay other people's food.

The dance drama "Confucius" is not just a dance drama, the historical shock and stage performance in it not only make the Chinese people full of praise, even foreigners also give a thumbs up, and even form a cultural label.

In this life, as the center of world culture, if Confucius can be put on the stage, I believe that the impact will be greater and more far-reaching than in the previous life.

This level of culture is not just a work, nor is it just an honor, for the people of Dahua, it is a cultural treasure that has been precipitated for thousands of years.

Chen Ange's words made several people stunned.

Want to try?

Yang Jing's face showed ecstasy.

Although Chen Ange is just a film and television director, people in the circle have such an evaluation of Chen Ange.

That is, he has a high level of expressive artistic attainment.

The artistic attainment of this form of expression happens to be the most needed thing for a dance drama.

After all, even if the life of Confucius is excavated, it needs to be artistically processed and then packaged on stage.

"That's great, one more person, one more strength!"

Shen Ning was also quite happy, just what Chen Ange said before showed that Chen Ange did have his own thoughts about this.

Isn't artistic creation all about trying to realize one's own ideas?

"Confucius" is almost all dance, but there are two most important characters in it.

One is the actor of Confucius, and the other is the actor of the concubine.

These two have the most scenes.

In the previous life, those who played these two roles were the two chief directors of the national opera and dance theater.

The meal was quite comfortable, but this time Chen Ange obviously had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

This kind of large-scale dance drama is actually more difficult than making a movie.

If you make a mistake, you will lose everything, and to avoid this kind of thing, you can only practice in private.

So once the actor is selected, it is definitely with the mentality of taking off a layer of skin to act.

Although the card was locked, fortunately, Chen Ange's food and accommodation arrangements were all covered by the Opera and Dance Theater.

……

Chen ...... An guide?"

Zhang Qiangrose and Bian Linlin were confused.

A passer-by I met before turned into a well-known director, and anyone who encounters this kind of thing is confused.

After dinner last night, the two returned to the city, and even before going to bed, they always felt that the previous things were dreaming.

But when they woke up the next morning, Zhang Qiangrose and Bian Linlin went to the dance theater to see Chen Ange again, they knew that it was true.

Chen Ange has been shuttling through various practice rooms to watch the people practicing dance.

Both men and women watch it, after all, those two actors are very important.

Chen Ange smiled: "You two came early!"

Zhang Qiangrose smiled awkwardly, and Bian Linlin should actually go to her dance studio, but because Chen Ange was here, she followed her inexplicably.

"You're watching them dance?"

"I'm picking people!"

"Pick someone?"

Zhang Qiangrose looked puzzled.

Didn't you say last night that you were ready to get involved?

Why have you already started picking people?

But she didn't dare to ask about it.

"Well, how many have you picked, there are a few first-class actors in the theater. ”

Chen Ange shook his head: "There are only two or three people who match!"

"What?"

Zhang Qiangrose and Bian Linlin looked stunned.

Two or three?

What exactly is Chen Ange's requirements?

The Yandao Opera and Dance Theater is full of talents, and it is the largest opera and dance theater in the entire Lu Province, but it only burned two or three suitable ones?

The "Confucius" dance drama used about sixty or seventy professional dancers at that time, and the most important thing is that those girls, tall, fat and thin, were almost the same.

And Chen Ange is even stricter, he is going to find forty girls who look like six or seven points or more, are basically the same, and are about the same fat and thin.

However, it is clear that this requirement cannot be met by the opera and dance theater on Yandao.

But at least a few can be picked out.

Because "Confucius" is full of classical dances, there are even fewer people who can look at Yandao here, and fortunately there is a team of "Li Bai".

However, at this time, Chen Ange only took a cursory look at his height and figure.

Classical dance and modern dance are completely different.

Nowadays, dances are mostly open and closed, whether it is on the hands or legs, there are a lot of movements.

But Dahua's classical dance is different.

Especially in Wenwu, they don't have many body movements, and the swing range is also very small, and the pursuit is to infinitely magnify the beauty of women's body, rather than the beauty of the dance itself.

Of course, there are exceptions, and they cannot be completely vetoed.

But in any case, for a classical dancer, her figure must be beautiful, and this beauty is not manifested in the face, nor in the walking posture, the focus is on the waist.

The waist is very important as the link point between the upper and lower parts of the human body, especially for the person who dances, once the person's waist is not beautiful, then the classical dance basically has nothing to do with her, because the beauty of classical dance, most of them are concentrated in the slender waist and round hip position, it is the only place that can interpret the beauty of classical dance in addition to the limbs.

Swing the willows in the wind!

This should be the most appropriate.

Her waist must be thin and long, her limbs must be soft and soft, and it is best to have a fluttering feeling.

Chen Ange had been around all morning, and with his various conditions, only two or three met.
