Chapter 53: White Silk Dance (1st Update)
Classical Chinese dance is essentially a revival of ancient dance, a revival of opera dance, and a revival of thousands of years of Chinese dance tradition.
It is very obvious that its aesthetic principle is not a new invention, but the circulation and continuation of thousands of years of Chinese culture, which is strung from ancient times to the present with a long thread.
It is also a new art category generated on the native land, which is a new type of dance comparable to ballet and modern dance.
Each dynasty and each history has its different dance characteristics, such as the music and dance of the Tang and Song dynasties, the "dance opera" in the Han and Wei dynasties, and the ritual music of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Therefore, the dance scene is also very important for a huge and rigorous historical costume drama.
If a TV series of the Han Dynasty is a dancer dancing the "Feather Dance" of the Tang Dynasty, then this TV series will be sprayed as a dog immediately after it is broadcast.
Although "The Court of Great Wei" revolves around the absolute protagonist of Mu Xiaoyun, it cannot be separated from the historical background of Great Wei.
Yu Jinyin finalized the famous "White Silk Dance" in history for the role of "Changqing", but Yu Jinyin had to adapt it on this basis.
The name "White Silk Dance" comes from the dress worn when dancing.
In ancient times, there was a kind of cloth woven from linen, which had a delicate texture and a white color, like white clouds gently fluttering in the blue sky. The ancients used this linen cloth to make dance clothes, and wore white silk dance clothes to dance, which was particularly graceful.
Not only is the white silk dance dress light and soft, but it also has long sleeves. This kind of long sleeve best reflects the characteristics of the white silk dance movements.
The dancers raise their hands and their long sleeves flutter vividly, forming a variety of light dynamics.
There are several kinds of movements of dancing sleeves: "covering sleeves", "brushing sleeves", "flying sleeves" and "raising sleeves".
When the dancer is tilting and slowly turning around, she slightly covers her face with both hands, half covering her delicate posture.
The sleeve flick is about the same as the sleeve cover, both are gently brushed over.
The flying sleeves are relatively fast, and after the rhythm is accelerated, the dancers compete for their sleeves, like snowflakes flying up and down.
The sleeves are more stretched, and the sleeves are slowly raised when the rhythm is slower and the light dance is slow.
In addition to the various movements made by the combination of hands and long sleeves, the white silk dance also pays attention to the demeanor of the eyes, requiring the dancers to use their eyes to cooperate with the dance posture in a hurry or slow, and to communicate with the audience spiritually.
Su Qian is no exception when performing, she not only has to dance well, but also has good eyes, and more importantly, she is not a simple dancer, but also a professional actor, she is not simply dancing, but serious filming.
However, at this time, Su Qian followed Yu Jinyin to learn more dance movements and charm.
Yu Jinyin first taught her the main dance movements, the dance movements are ever-changing, she has practiced countless dance moves, and has a certain foundation, so she learns quickly.
So the basic guidance passed quickly, and then Su Qian went to the dressing room to change into a special dance costume for dancing.
The dance dress is made of linen, a light and flowing white dress, which is particularly breathable, and should be comfortable to wear in the summer, but not very pleasant in the late winter, when the temperature is lower. Of course, because it is indoors, it is still acceptable to Su Qian.
The white dance dress doesn't look very good, it always feels rough, and the colors are not very bright, which is the characteristic of linen. It's certainly not as good as the information says.
Su Qian wore it on her body and felt not very good, but Yu Jinyin was very satisfied with it.
Su Qian is slender and tall, her waist is even more slender, her neck is slender, her skin is fair, and she has a stunning appearance, and the white dance clothes are even more fairy when she wears them.
Yu Jinyin nodded with satisfaction, the general dance moves Su Qian had done it a few times just now, and the upper body effect of the dance dress was also perfect, but I didn't know what the final effect was.
Next, jump one by one, Su Qian finished dancing and asked Yu Jinyin to comment and point out the problem.
Su Qian's dance moves are perfect, proficient and beautiful at the same time, even Yu Jinyin is impeccable, very much appreciated.
It's just that it's a little different in terms of temperament, Su Qian, who is wearing a white long-sleeved dance dress, looks too fairy, and when she dances, she doesn't look like a dancing girl who pleases the nobles, but more like a goddess who dances the sacrificial dance.
This is not something that Su Qian can change if she wants to, her temperament is natural, and it cannot be changed by a single action and demeanor.
After discovering this. Both of them were helpless, and Yu Jinyin was even more aware of her shortcomings in designing movements.
"White Silk Dance" was originally not like an ordinary glamorous dance, but after her adaptation, it seems to have become a little purer.
In this regard, Yu Jinyin changed some details of the dance on the spot, added some movements of covering sleeves and brushing sleeves, and greatly reduced the parts of flying sleeves and raising sleeves. A little softer movement has been added, and a little bit of the flowing part has been removed.
This not only made Su Qian's temperament a lot softer, but also reduced the difficulty of dancing.
After Su Qian finished jumping, she could clearly feel that it was much easier than the previous times, and her physical exertion was not so great.
On top of that, she thinks the changed dance moves work better on camera. Teacher Yu gave her a row of movements before, a large number of flying sleeves and raised sleeves, although they were elegant and soft, and their dancing postures were full of grace. But when it comes to the camera, whether it's the actor or the director, it will make the camera messy, which is not what the director and including her want to see.
Therefore, in the end, Su Qian changed her dance and completely relaxed.
Except for the dance modification in the middle, which took some time, other parts such as Yu Jinyin teaching Su Qian's dance moves, etc., didn't take long at all.
After Su Qian's last dance, her breath became uneven, and Yu Jinyin didn't let Su Qian practice anymore, with Su Qian's current mastery level, it was more than enough for filming.
Yu Jinyin's originally gentle face smiled completely, if it weren't for the fact that this year's art examination had passed, Su Qian was a new star in the entertainment industry, and she looked good, she really hoped that Su Qian would apply for the Capital Dance Academy to learn classical dance with her. This child has solid basic skills, good flexibility, good body proportions, and more importantly, this child has a good understanding.
In fact, Su Qian's comprehension is really good, it may be the reason for being a person in two lives, plus she is not bad and works hard, so Su Qian's learning ability has always been relatively strong.
The teaching of dance moves was done, and the two simply sat down together and chatted casually. The main reason is that Su Qian asked Yu Jinyin some dance questions, and Yu Jinyin also had to add some knowledge to his favorite back, so the two chatted very happily for a while.
At this time, unlike Su Qian's happy life, the atmosphere on the set was a little solidified.
