Chapter 123: Premiere, Success
Chapter 123 premiered, success
Human beings are constantly improving the rules in the process of progress, just to seek something called 'freedom', and Tang Xianzu has one more choice for freedom through "The Peony Pavilion", which is not the same as the sadness expressed in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", which is one more choice for human beings. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is the greatness of the human spirit.
Director Yang Fan is an artist, at least in terms of spiritual level and artistic attainment, the movie script of "Dream in the Garden" shows a lot of things.
The love affair between the two heroines in the early stage carried Tang Xianzu's theory of affection, and in the later stage, the character played by Wang Zuxian met the male protagonist played by Wu Yanguo after experiencing the changes of the times, so he couldn't extricate himself from falling into a physical and sexual obsession.
The main line of performance makes Wang Yao feel a little similar to "Farewell My Concubine", not a simple same-sex film, Wang Zuxian's role is a Kunqu opera student, or the feudal ideology of male superiority and female inferiority in the late Qing Dynasty, Wang Zuxian's role has a lot more men's masculinity, and the heroine is a complete lady.
The abduction of a lady was successful, and it should be because of true love.
But in the later period, the princess's mansion where the heroine married went bankrupt, and Wang Zuxian was also displaced, and finally became a progressive young woman and began to teach, and later met the male protagonist, and was attracted by the male protagonist's handsomeness and masculinity, and fell in love again.
This is similar to Du Liniang's dreams and reality in "The Peony Pavilion".
The love between Wang Zuxian and the heroine is a dream.
And the desire for Wu Yan's group is reality.
And there is also a background of the times in this movie, and it is quite good to depict the helplessness of women in the old era after they came out of feudalism.
Although Wang Yao can't imagine what the movie looks like after filming in the past few days, Wang Yao is quite interested in this book.
After filming with the crew for half a month, Wang Yao learned a lot of film knowledge, and became familiar with Wu Yan's group, Wang Zuxian and the Dongying actor, and invited them to watch the play on the day of the performance of "The Legend of Wu Xun".
After a month of precipitation and publicity, "The Legend of Wu Xun" finally sold tickets, and many college students and old theater fans who had been waiting before went to the theater to buy tickets as soon as they heard the news in the newspaper.
The troupe has almost 500 seats, and they originally thought that if the attendance rate could be more than half, it would be a success, but they didn't expect it to be sold out.
The uncle who sold the tickets was full of excited tears, he had been guarding the troupe for more than 30 years, and finally relived the scene of being slapped on the table and begging for tickets, Xu Feng and Mao Weitao and others were also embarrassed.
The show began to enter at half past seven, and there was a long queue outside the troupe, and many people who had not bought tickets were also waiting outside, hoping that if someone inside came out, he could make up for the tickets and go in to have a look.
Wang Yao took Wang Zuxian, Wu Yan's group and Director Yang Fan and others to sit in the front special seat, looking at the audience who were a little noisy after entering the venue one after another, they were a little surprised that so many people came.
"Looks like you're doing a good job of publicity. Director Yang Fan smiled with sunglasses.
"I heard that the local authorities helped a lot, but I really didn't expect so many people to come. Wang Yao grinned.
"It's a pity that you can't perform on stage?" Wang Zuxian wore a baseball cap and sunglasses to cover his palm-sized face, looked at Wang Yao and smiled.
"It's a pity, it's my play. Wang Yao smiled and looked in the direction of the door, Reporter Zhu seemed to be taking a group of reporters over there to shoot something, Wang Yao thought about it and didn't go up to disturb.
This time, the publicity did not announce the list of actors, so he said the name of the troupe, although I don't know if it was for himself, but Wang Yao still don't look for trouble.
For almost 20 minutes, the audience entered the venue one after another, the host presided over the order on the stage, and tried to tone down the lights again, and the performance was ready to officially start.
"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the eighteenth year of Daoguang, the heavenly elephant moved the blessed star to descend on the land of Donglu, a small town south of Taihang Mountain, and a baby was born..."
The dim stage slowly brightened up to Jin Wensheng's storytelling, and then gradually opened the front curtain, revealing the actors and scenery inside.
"The set is pretty exquisite. Director Yang Fan looked at the image of a farmhouse created by the simple shed on the stage, and said to Wang Yao with a smile.
"Well, these props can be reused, and Senior Sister Mao has made some money. Wang Yao smiled.
The first scene is the life of the young martial arts training, there are several boy soldiers in the troupe, just able to exercise on stage, and the Donglu accent different from the southern dialect came out of the mouths of the little dolls, which amused many people.
The first ten minutes were full of laughter, Wang Yao listened to the reaction of the audience behind him, and felt that it was not bad, until the bully came to the door to force Wu Xun's parents to death, several brothers and sisters were also arrested one after another, the young Wu Xun fainted in the center of the stage, and the chasing light gradually gathered on him, and finally went out, and all the audience sighed.
Jin Wensheng's narrator remembered again, chasing light on the stage with a little martial arts training that became a beggar, moving forward little by little, and finally becoming a teenager, Xiang Linkai appeared on the scene when he started to work.
The play progressed little by little, the jokes of the various characters that Wu Xun met when he was working at work amused many people, and the audience also complained angrily when the black-hearted boss hurt Wu Xun, overall, if there is no accident in the performance, it should be very successful, Wang Yao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene effect was better than Wang Yao thought, and the audience gave a good response to several tears and contradictions written by Wang Yao, and there were a few more small tears, such as the part when the poor scholar took off his long shirt and taught him to write by the shopkeeper
"The poor character writing is a cave hole, plus groveling bowing, the original meaning is scarce, but it can be seen that the ancestors had foresight at this time of creation, and after thousands of years, this word has become powerful, and can only bend to survive. ”
This recitation originally had a deep meaning, and I didn't think that these young audiences could understand it, but in exchange for applause, although it was a mess.
But at least it shows that they watched this play.
There are also some points in the back, including that Wu Xun was made fun of by everyone when he wanted to set up a private school, and when he groveled to seek Mr. Private School, the audience cried, especially when Wu Xun knelt and begged the child to study, the audience cried, and Wang Yao's eyes were a little sour.
There was no doubt that the play was a success, and the performance lasted three hours, with only a few exits, and was immediately topped by the ticket fillers, with cheers and cries, and the final applause that lasted for several minutes.
Mao Weitao and their performances were also very emotional, and they wrote twice before they subsided the applause when they bowed and took a curtain call, which has not been treated for many years.
"It's really good. Wang Zuxian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled at Wang Yao.
"It's good to look good, it's good to look good. Looking at Mao Weitao, who made a speech on the stage, Wang Yao also took a big breath.
"As a choreographer, why don't you go up and say a few words?" asked Wu Yangu.
"It's not an acceptance speech, and there's no award. Wang Yao smiled, and saw a few girls running to the front desk with bouquets of flowers to offer flowers, and was stunned, "There are really rewards." ”
"Of course, theater performances come with gifts. Wang Zuxian said with a smile.
"It's a way to make money. Wang Yao touched his chin thoughtfully.
The first premiere was a complete success, in order to celebrate, Liu Yunqing bleed again, many people were drunk, Wang Yao helped them all to get into the car one by one, and breathed a sigh of relief, turning his head to look at Mao Weitao and He Saifei who were standing behind him, "Let's go." ”
"When I was watching below, there were a few little girls discussing that it wasn't you on the stage. He Saifei pulled Wang Yao to the parking lot and said with a smile.
"Can you see this?" Wang Yao smiled and touched his cheeks, "Are you a real fan?"
"They say you're not that strong. He Saifei tilted his head and looked at Wang Yao, "Congratulations." ”
"Rejoice and rejoice. Wang Yao smiled, "Senior Sister Mao, I think we can change to a bigger field in the next game." ”
"Let's see how it goes tomorrow, and if the response is good, we can talk about a big theater. Mao Weitao started the car with a smile.
"Today's response is very good, you can book early, and the price of the provincial theater will start from the ground. Wang Yao smiled.
"We'll have to see how public opinion reacts. He Saifei said, "If you read the newspaper tomorrow, it is estimated that there will be a lot of comments." ”
"There won't be any bad reviews. Wang Yao was stunned.
"Not necessarily, you have to be prepared for everything. He Saifei winked at Wang Yao.
Wang Yao's heart, which he had finally let go, suddenly became nervous again.
He looks calm and calm, but he is still quite attentive to outside comments.
'The water lilies in the West Lake, which have been sleeping for ten years, bloomed last night, and the beauty of Yue Opera is deeply moving. ’
'A new type of theatre experience, where opera keeps up with the times. ’
'New dramas and new scripts make people refresh the charm of opera. ’
'Persuading people to be kind, persuading people to read, persuading people to reflect, Mr. Wu Xun's great love is boundless. ’
Early the next morning, Wang Yao received a stack of newspapers from Xiao Er from the teahouse opposite, all of which were headlines on the front page, and almost all of them were affirmative.
"You're on fire now. Wu Changtian's shopkeeper was still dressed in a long shirt and horse coat, and smiled at Wang Yao.
"What's the fire, I didn't see my name when it was convenient. Wang Yao smiled.
"It's a matter of time before the play is on fire, it's equivalent to you being on fire. Wu Changtian smiled and said, "What, reward a ticket?"
"The time of this second session has not been decided, so I will send you two. Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Then I'll thank you in advance. Wu Changtian smiled and arched his hand, and walked back to the store with Xiao Er.
Wang Yao carefully flipped through the news of several newspapers, especially the comments of several drama critics, and the evaluation was not bad, and there were no bad comments.
humming a little song, I went back to the house to wash up and prepare to go to the crew.
