Chapter 448: Performance Costumes

Zhang Ran walked into the conference room and saw that Yang Donglin, the costume designer of the Song and Dance Theater, had arrived, so he walked over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The costumes of the fluorescent dance need to be specially made, not only to sew luminous strips, but more importantly, Zhang Ran wants the costumes to look good, so he copied the designs of the heroes and heroines of "The Creation of War". In order to make the effect of "Tron War", ordinary clothing stores will definitely not be able to handle it, and it will need professionals to produce it.

Zhang Ran sat down next to Yang Donglin: "Donglin, I want to ask the Opera and Dance Theater to help me make more than a dozen sets of costumes, on the 30th, the students of our class recorded the graduation party on CCTV, they are ready to dance fluorescent dance, they need costumes, ordinary people can't do it, can I trouble you to help?"

Tong Ruirui's ears were tipped, and when he heard the fluorescent dance, he turned to look at Zhang Ran and asked, "What is the fluorescent dance?" Not only Tong Ruirui, but even Shen Wei looked at Zhang Ran curiously, both of them were people who really loved dance, and they were interested in hearing a dance that they had never heard of at all.

Fluorescent dancing is still a novelty, and it appears more often at parties, but it has not yet become popular. Tong Ruirui and the others are all pure arts, and they don't know anything about this kind of party, and they don't know the existence of fluorescent dance.

Zhang Ran didn't expect that he would have to explain the dance to the two dancers one day, and he felt a little proud: "Fluorescent dance is a kind of dance in which dancers use special light sticks and other props in their hands to dance to produce a circle of light.

"Cyber World Wars" is not a particularly famous movie, but it has an important place in the history of science fiction films. The film was the first film about virtual space, filmed in '82, two years before science fiction writer William Gibson proposed the revolutionary concept of cyberspace in Neurowanderer.

"Cyber World Wars" didn't become a box office hit like "Star Wars" or a classic like "2001: A Space Odyssey," but it opened the door to the computer world and was the first science fiction film to depict virtual space. Nearly every film of its kind since then has been inspired by this film, and the Wachowski brothers admit that it had a profound influence on The Matrix.

Zhang Ran asked Tong Ruirui to watch not the story of the movie, but the costumes, which had cool fluorescent effects. The figures are in the dark, and the viewer can't see their shapes clearly, but they can see the fluorescent stripes of the clothes. The film's later sequel, Tronomics, retains this style and makes the effects even cooler.

After a few minutes of playing, Zhang Ran clicked pause: "Fluorescent dance is when actors dance on stage in costumes like this, the lights are turned off, and the audience can only see the dancing fluorescent strips." Because the lights are off, it gives the dancers a lot of space to create all kinds of effects, and the whole effect is very cool. ā€

Shen Wei and Tong Ruirui were a little disapproving, in their opinion, the most important thing in dance is the body, and dance is the art of the body. This fluorescent dance has no visible limbs at all, erasing a lot of important details. Of course, out of respect for Zhang Ran, they did not say this idea.

However, other people are very interested in this, especially Han Lixun, who is engaged in stage beauty, cool pictures, and strong visual impact, which is exactly what they are pursuing.

"It's such an interesting idea, wearing it like an elf in the dark, it's a great illusion, and it has a fatal attraction for young people. ā€

"That's right, it's the effect of fluorescent lights in the dark, it will be very gorgeous, and the dance will have a strong visual impact. ā€

"I haven't seen this dance yet, but I want to see it!"

At this moment, Han Lixun slapped his thigh: "We can put this on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!"

Everyone was stunned, this thing was very novel, the visual effects were gorgeous, but it was obviously inappropriate for the Olympics.

"Impossible!" Zhang Ran directly denied, "The stadium is too big, and the audience can't see it clearly! In addition, this kind of dance emphasizes visual impact, and it will be relatively weak in terms of display culture, which is not suitable for the Olympic Games!"

"If it's just fluorescent dancing, it's exactly what you say. Han Lixun agreed with Zhang Ran's statement, "So, we can't just let the actors dance, but make it big, well, how to say it, shadow puppetry! Yes, it is to make a big shadow puppet, a big shadow puppet five or six meters high, first let the shadow puppet play a shadow puppet play, and then turn off the light, it becomes the fluorescent dance you said, it looks like a robot dancing!"

Zhang Ran was stupid when he heard it, if it was replaced with shadow puppetry, wouldn't it become the program "Great Qin Ancient Rhyme" that was eliminated before the opening ceremony?

Han Lixun didn't notice Zhang Ran's expression, and continued to elaborate on his thoughts: "Let's combine shadow puppetry and fluorescent dance, this is the perfect fusion of modern and classical, it will be very interesting!"

After listening to Han Lixun's statement, everyone nodded and praised: "This idea is a bit interesting, shadow puppetry is the most traditional form of performance, and this fluorescent dance is a new thing, this is a combination of tradition and modern technology!"

"Fun and fun, this show is fun!"

"It's both traditional and modern, the visuals are good, and the performance form is particularly novel!"

Zhang Ranzhi was not as overwhelmed as Shen Wei was when he proposed the idea of ink painting, he knew that although everyone thought the idea was very good now, it would be faulty tomorrow and rejected the day after tomorrow.

However, he didn't want to spend too much time on this: "Two questions, the big shadow puppet five or six meters high is very heavy, at least a few hundred catties, and the arm swings for more than ten meters, how do you operate? Even if you can operate it, it will not be flexible, and it will look very clumsy." The second point is how to control the lighting control problem on the body? This is a good idea, but the feasibility is relatively low!"

"The Ancient Rhyme of Daqin" has been rehearsed for nearly a year, why was it taken away before the opening of the Olympic Games? Because there are problems in the program, and the performance effect is not satisfactory, these are the problems that Zhang Ran said.

Han Lixun also calmed down, and thought carefully about the two points raised by Zhang Ran, which was indeed a problem. Chong Zhang Ran smiled: "It's still thoughtful, how to operate is a problem." ā€

Zhang Ran took out a few drawings of the design drawings from his bag and put them in front of Yang Donglin: "This is the design drawing of the costume, how to make it on it, just make it according to the design drawing, I'm sorry for you!"

Yang Donglin felt that Zhang Ran was making a bit of a fuss, and the students' performance costumes still used design drawings, but he took the design drawings and just glanced at them, and he was shocked: "Zhang Ran, who designed this? This design is so good! It is much better than the design in the movie just now, and the minimalist style is simply amazing." The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became: "The lines are very creative, the design is ingenious, and it is completely in line with the mechanics of the human body." ā€

As soon as Yang Donglin shouted like this, many people gathered around. Wang Daren and Guo Pei, who are fashion designers, are most interested in this. After reading it, they have the same opinion as Yang Donglin, and the whole design is full of futurism and has a strong minimalist style.

Wang Daren looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "This is your design, right? It's really exciting!" Guo Pei nodded: "It was painted by Zhang Ran, I didn't expect him to play this minimalist style and design so well in the future!"

Yang Donglin couldn't believe his ears: "No, Zhang Ran actually understands clothing design?"

Guo Pei laughed: "It's not that I understand, but I am proficient." If he is willing to do fashion design, I think he is the first designer in China, maybe we can give birth to a top brand like Versace in China. ā€

Wang Daren also agreed: "Anna Wintour said he was a genius, and John Galliano complained to Anna several times, saying that Zhang Ran did not go to Paris Fashion Week to see his show, and he was very disappointed!"

Hearing Wang Daren's words, not only Yang Donglin, but even Shen Wei, Lin Ying, and even Don Michelle were taken aback. China's Versace, Anna Wintour, and John Galliano are all god-level figures in the fashion industry, and they all think Zhang Ran is a genius?

"Okay, I'm just making two sets of costumes for our students, how can it be so exaggerated. Don't I know how many pounds and taels I have?" Zhang Ran couldn't laugh or cry a little, looked at Yang Donglin and said, "You can help me make a set according to this design drawing, let the students try the effect first, and then customize it according to their body type." ā€

"I'll leave this matter to me!" Yang Donglin was completely convinced, just making performance costumes for students and coming up with this level of design, if he concentrated on designing two sets of things, what kind of level? No wonder Wintour and Galliano would respect him so much, this is really a genius!

Not only Yang Donglin, but even Shen Wei and Don Michel also admired Zhang Ran very much.

It is not uncommon for artists to cross borders, like Shen Wei himself is a dancer, and at the same time, the level of painting is extremely high. However, artists often cherish their feathers very much, and the person in charge of the MDC Museum saw Shen Wei's paintings very much and wanted to hold an exhibition for him, but Shen Wei refused, feeling that his painting skills were not mature enough. However, Zhang Ran did not have the idea of cherishing feathers, and even designed performance costumes for the graduation party of the students in his class.

This seems to be very cheap, but Shen Wei and they feel that Zhang Ran is not afraid of the world's eyes, and lives a very detached life, which is the realm that artists should really pursue, and it is really everyone's demeanor!

A true artist should be!

Zhang Ran didn't know what Shen Wei and them thought, otherwise he would laugh dumbly, I copied the design drawings casually, do you want to think so much?

This incident has brought two consequences, first, it has improved Zhang Ran's status in the hearts of everyone, and second, everyone's requirements for the bidding plan have become stricter, and many things that have been discussed in the past few days have been overturned.

After lunch on June 30, Zhang Ran drove to the CCTV Center on Fosun Road. He got out of the car and called the program team. After a while, a woman in a blue work uniform walked out of the CCTV building with graceful steps.

"Hello, Director Zhang Ran. Please follow me!" the woman walked up to Zhang Ran and said very politely.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you!" Zhang Ran nodded.

"I like your movie very much, it's our honor to have you!" The woman led the way in front of Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran followed her inside.

The shooting took place at three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two hours left, so Zhang Ran was taken to the lounge on the third floor. The producer of the show had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw Zhang Ran coming in, he greeted him.

"Director Zhang, my name is Chen Qi, and I am the producer of this party. ā€

"Hello, hello!"

The two shook hands, and Chen Qi asked Zhang Ran to sit down and briefly introduced the process of the show to him.

There is not much content involved in Zhang Ran in the whole party, that is, after the students of Form 01 performed two programs, Zhang Ran came to the stage as a class teacher to communicate and interact with the students. The student representative said his heart to Zhang Ran, gave a small gift, and Zhang Ran said some blessings to the students.

In the rehearsal of the party in the past two days, Zhang Ran has not been present, and he is suspected of playing a big name. Chen Qi originally thought that Zhang Ran was very difficult, but after some exchanges, he found that Zhang Ran was very humble, polite and courteous, and more importantly, he really cared about his students.

Chen Qi finally understood why the students would carefully prepare such a gift for Zhang Ran, his gift would move countless people, and now he is more confident in this party! )
