Chapter 165: His Journey Is the Whole World (Part I)
There is a popular saying in the Western theater world called "Trinity Law", which means that the creation of the script must adhere to the consistency of time, place and action, that is, only one story thread is allowed, and the time of occurrence cannot exceed one day, that is, 24 hours, and there must be only one place.
This principle is proposed to ensure the concentration and compactness of the plot of the play, and to complete a story with a beginning, climax and end in one scene in one day, so as to maintain the fullness of the drama stage.
With the development of drama itself, the limitations of the Trinity Law have become more and more prominent, with the typology of characters, face-painting, stereotyped plots, and inextricable tricks, which have gradually been challenged and destroyed by latecomers, and finally come to a fragmented ending, becoming a term in the history of literary theory.
Although later dramatists have made breakthroughs and made the road of drama wider and wider, some of the core meanings of the Trinity Law have been inherited, such as the centralization of the plot of the drama, the intensification of contradictions and conflicts, and the typification of character creation, etc., all of which are more or less influenced by the principle of the Trinity Law, and even the result of an evolution.
Then there is the heterogeneity of dramatic language, a language form that is different from novels and even film and television scripts, exaggerated, exposed, and with a tone, similar to the lyrics of our opera, twisted into a different tone for interpretation.
"In the apartment, it will definitely be a little strange," Liu Jingting explained while handing the script to Xu Yuan and Lin Xun, "And this script is a lyrical route, you have to be steady, you must be more familiar than me, I won't waste time." ”
Lin Xun and Xu Yuan both made OK gestures, and Liu Jingting nodded and said, "Then let's start." It's been turned into a stage. ”
Lin Xun: [Who are you, dodging and eavesdropping on other people's words in the dark?]
Xu Yuan: [I can't tell you what my name is. Beloved God, I hate my own name, for it is your enemy, and if I had written it on paper, I would have torn it to shreds. 】
……
Liu Jingting asked Xu Lin to read the line is the scene where Romeo and Juliet's orchard meet, Romeo flips into Capulet's orchard, and just in time to hear Juliet can't help but call his name at the window, confirming their love at first sight, which is a more classic scene in the script and has been imitated countless times.
"Can you pause?" Yang Lilu said suddenly with her hand raised.
Xu Yuan Lin Xun glanced at Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting nodded and asked Yang Lilu, "What do you say about the half-immortal?"
Yang Lilu frowned and said: "I have also watched a lot of dramas, and I have listened to dramas with my mother, but is your line too lyrical, I think." Even pretentious. ”
Xu Yuan and Lin Xun looked at each other, but did not object. Even Dai Kishiqiao smiled a little approvingly.
Liu Jingting's face did not change. calmly said: "I said at the beginning, this is a drama that takes a lyrical route, and it will definitely look weird to abruptly put forward the fragments in it to interpret, this is not a stage, and there is no rendering of lighting background music." The actors did not invest in the real feelings, and the incoherence of the plot caused a disconnect between the relationship between the actors and the audience, so it looks awkward, so to speak. I'm writing a TV drama script now and letting you come out with emotional expressions, it will all look strange, Xu Yuan Lin Xun, you two should understand what I mean, right?"
Liu Jingting has been in the crew of "Huanzhu Gege" for so long, I don't know how many times he has told the actors, and the general artistic temperament on his body leaked out unintentionally, and the scene was shocked, Xu Yuan and Lin Xun have learned theoretical knowledge, so they naturally know that what Liu Jingting said is reasonable, nodded seriously, and said: "Let's go through the previous plot again, and then come back." ”
Liu Jingting nodded, then turned his gaze to Yang Lilu and asked, "Can the half-immortal guess where this drama comes from?"
Yang Lilu said: "Listen to the name and know that it is definitely not the story of our country, Romeo and Juliet should be the translator of Romeoand Juliet, it can be judged that it is from Europe and the United States, and then look at the style of the lines, excluding the United States, so the background of this drama must be a certain country in Europe, oh, Liu Jingting, you are not ambitious." ”
Yang Lilu's last sentence suddenly made the other three look puzzled, and they all looked at her, Yang Lilu explained: "After the drama festival is the Central European Cultural Year, Liu Jingting's final intention to write this drama is in London, and even on Broadway in the United States. ”
Lin Xun and Xu Yuan were shocked to hear it inexplicably, they saw this statement as early as when they signed up for the drama actor selection in the Bagua Building, and secretly thought about the scene of performing at the London Grand Theatre, but that kind of thought was more like a good wish, stopping at fantasy, and it was impossible to say it anyway.
At this time, Huo Ran heard someone mention this matter, and the thought buried in the bottom of his heart immediately responded, and his heart couldn't help but turn over.
"If I am asked to choose someone who can do this in Vientiane School Park, I can only vote for Liu Jingting. Dai Anqiao said suddenly.
Xu Yuan and Lin Xun immediately nodded in approval.
There was a special prize in the essay contest before, there was a myth of "Huanzhu Gege" ratings, and then there was the glory of "The Little Prince", Liu Jingting may not be the most shining student in Vientiane School Park at present, and he has nothing to do with prominence, but he is definitely the best at making miracles.
After listening to Dai Anqiao's words, Liu Jingting smiled modestly: "Lao Dai, this is the principle of proximity, because we are roommates, because you haven't seen other people's dramas yet, so you will have this illusion, and when the performance is performed in October, you will definitely be more sure of this idea, and vote for me more obligedly, hahaha......"
Dai Anqiao shrugged, Xu Lin and the two looked at each other and smiled, Yang Lilu pursed her lips and said, "Now let's get the school hall first." ”
Liu Jingting nodded, motioning for Xu Yuan and Lin Xun to come again, the two nodded, and began to test the lines for the second time, Lin Xun entered the state relatively quickly, Xu Yuan was a little twisted, Liu Jingting knocked on the table and shouted to stop, and then looked at Xu Yuan and said: "Xu Yuan, I probably know what you are thinking in your heart, but I hope you can let go of your hands and feet to perform that kind of 'doing', if you don't want to watch Lin Xun play with another boy - this is a threat." ”
Xu Yuan smiled bitterly, and Liu Jingting added: "It's like a joke, try again." ”
Lin Xun looked at Xu Yuan, with encouragement in his eyes, and Xu Yuan nodded. Said: "I know, Director Liu." ”
Liu Jingting is not alarmist, deliberately scaring Xu Yuan, because everyone in the living room has not watched this drama and does not know its greatness, so there is no unforgettable picture in his heart, and it is impossible to have Liu Jingting's firmness, this uncertainty makes the actors and the audience a little dramatic.
Fortunately, this time Xu Yuan let go a lot, and the lines gradually became more meaningful, and Lin Xun did have the talent of an actor. memorized the lines quickly, and understood them very well, Juliet's temperament of a noble lady and the contradictory mood of falling in love with the son of an enemy are very well expressed.
After completing the lines prescribed by Liu Jingting, Liu Jingting praised: "I want to applaud Lin Xun." What a genius actor, if you really have to pay attention. It's just a little bit more. To put it simply, the highlight of this drama is not grounded, but dreamy, pure artwork. ”
Yang Lilu said next to her: "How can you move people's hearts if you are not grounded?"
Liu Jingting asked rhetorically: "Why are so many men obsessed with Athena? Why do poets love the moon so much? Why do girls go to the cinema to watch "Titanic" over and over again?"
Yang Lilu was speechless.
"As long as a story can achieve self-consistency in itself and the logic can be accepted by the audience, it can trigger human emotions. To drive the audience's feelings, I said that the point of view is not to be down-to-earth, not to say that we make a completely illusory thing, but to believe in this kind of story full of coincidences and drama. The actor doesn't believe in what he plays, the author doesn't believe in the world he constructs, and the works that come out can only go to the street. ”
"Reasonable, so many words. After listening to his three rhetorical questions, Yang Lilu already understood what Liu Jingting meant, so there was no way to refute it.
"Yes," Liu Jingting said meaningfully, "the desire to express is really getting bigger and bigger, and I can't stop at all." ”
Yang Lilu was dissatisfied: "Why do you always suddenly pretend to be deep, which makes people very unaccustomed to it." ”
"Why don't you get used to it?"
"Feel like someone from another world. ”
Liu Jingting gave Yang Lilu a thumbs up and said, "Half Immortal, I will obey you!"
Yang Lilu showed a thoughtful expression on her face and said, "You can talk about drama." ”
Xu Yuan raised his hand at the right time and said, "I voluntarily come to receive the punishment." ”
Liu Jingting said: "No, this time is not bad, Xu Yuan, you are an actor on the stage, you can't let go of the stage, but you will be very crazy when you go on stage." ”
"Yes, yes, that's right. Lin Xun hurriedly continued.
Xu Yuan gave Liu Jingting a thumbs up and said, "High." ”
Liu Jingting said: "Let's do this today, strive to finish the selection of actors tomorrow, and then apply for rehearsals in the auditorium." ”
Lin Xun said: "I'm afraid that the auditorium is very difficult, because there are more than a dozen groups applying. ”
"Leave this matter to me. ”
……
At the opening ceremony the next day, Director Kang solemnly introduced the School of Literature and Art, and then Professor Wen Baojing also made a pause, and Liu Jingting naturally thought of the first university opening ceremony, which seemed to rain a little that day, and it was also a variety of speeches.
This is also the first time Liu Jingting has seen Sun Boya and Ye Hao in person, and he feels that their expressions are a little unusually confident.
Ye Hao is slender, wearing a white cardigan T-shirt and a red striped tie, which is a standard summer school uniform in Vientiane.
Sun Boya is elegant, with a white long-sleeved T-shirt, a black bow tie and a short skirt, her hair is tied into a bun, and she is also very eye-catching when she stands in the crowd.
Another veteran representative is Li Yile, who stands on the right side of Sun Boya, looking much more casual, and takes the pro-people line in the election.
The three of them took turns to give speeches, stating their election plans and canvassing for themselves, not unexpectedly, when Sun Boya just stood on the rostrum, there were boys in the audience who shouted "I am willing to vote for you".
It took nearly forty-five minutes for the three of them to canvass for votes, but the freshmen were not impatient, one was admired by beautiful women and handsome guys, and the other was the first time they clearly felt that they had the sacred right to vote.
After the canvassing speech, it was the freshman representative who spoke, Liu Jingting received a notice from Dean Wen last night, saying that he wanted him to speak on behalf of the freshmen of the Academy of Literature and Art today, and simply made preparations, when he came on the stage, although it did not cause a sensational effect like Ye Hao and Sun Boya, but it also caused a small number of people to discuss, Liu Jingting was full of "ashamed" expression, and said into the microphone: " Hello everyone, I am Liu Jingting, a freshman in the Literature Department of the Academy of Literature and Art, the willow of the willow tree, the Jingting of Jingting Mountain, I am very honored to stand here and speak, I want to tell you that in the future study and life, I will do my best to make the School of Literature and Art the pride of Vientiane, many times, thank you!"
Liu Jingting immediately stepped down and returned to the team after speaking, neither stage fright and nervousness, nor any personability, the only feature is that it is short, so it was not until Liu Jingting returned to the team that everyone remembered to applaud, and then recalled what he just said, so that Vientiane can understand the pride, "many times" What does it mean?
……
After the opening ceremony, Liu Jingting's speech video was transmitted to the Bagua Building along with other people's speeches, and the reaction on the scene was not too bad, and everyone's attention to his speech was also on those three words, and the mainstream conclusion was that this kid was a little arrogant.
The arrogant Liu Jingting had returned to the college at this time and was attending the freshman entrance ceremony of the college, and neither Dean Wen nor Vice Dean Hu said anything superfluous, announcing that Liu Jingting would participate in the drama festival on behalf of the School of Literature and Art, calling on everyone to actively cooperate and encourage the students of the acting department to seize the opportunity.
After that, Vice Dean Hu Jian asked Liu Jingting with a smile: "Let the Academy of Literature and Art become the pride of Wanxiang many times, can Liu explain the meaning of this sentence?"
Liu Jingting scratched the back of his head very introvertedly and said, "That's it, when I was facing everyone, I couldn't help but want to say big things." ”
There was a burst of laughter.
"Because I see people doing it. ”
It's a bit sharp, ridiculous and sarcastic, but it's also hilarious.
"So you're bragging?"
"No, I mean from the heart. ”
"Tell me how many times?"
"The more the merrier. ”
"Let's take an example. ”
"The current drama festival. ”
"Are you sure you'll make it to the national finals?"
Liu Jingting nodded, and then said, "It's more than that. ”
"Oh?"
Liu Jingting said: "Our journey is the whole world. ”
Another burst of laughter.
Liu Jingting scratched the back of his head again and explained uneasily: "That, I'm not joking this time. ”
Everyone laughed even harder, and someone laughed and said, "Brother, you are too humorous." ”
……
Pavilion wear five years, Liu Jingting stood in a large multimedia classroom in the Academy of Literature and Art of Vientiane School Park, saying that his journey is the whole world, everyone present only understands one of the meanings of this sentence, and only a few people who know his identity as an ancient Yongsheng can understand the other meaning.
