Chapter 238: Drama War
"What, you don't know Li Sansi?" Seeing Su Wen asking which one Li Sansi was in a daze, Ma Junwu was even more surprised than Su Wen, and almost even his eyes popped out.
Well, as soon as Su Wen saw his appearance, he knew that he was facing the same problem again - he still knew too little about the world.
"You're kidding, aren't you?" Ma Junwu asked again.
Su Wen thought about it for a while, felt that he couldn't avoid medical treatment, and said honestly: "I used to be addicted to reading, and my brain was spent on memorizing words, and I didn't pay much attention to other things......
"If you don't pay attention, it's impossible for you not to know who Li Sansi is, right?" Ma Junwu still doesn't believe it, "His old man's deeds have been written into the textbook!" ”
Su Wen took a breath of cool air, no matter what world he is in, the people who can be written into textbooks for countless students to learn are all awesome people.
It seems that this Li Sansi is very big!
What did Ma Junwu say just now, this Li Sansi cooperated with Du Changfeng to operate drama works and fight in the ring with "Thunderstorm"?
What the hell is going on?
Ma Junwu didn't seem to be a fake, so he had to exclaim while explaining Li Sansi.
It turned out that Li Sansi was a professor of drama creation at Huaxia Academy of Literature, mainly studying drama theory. Professor is just a very ordinary title for him, he also has many mentor identities, and the biggest name is the highest honorary head of the Central Drama Troupe of the Chinese Empire!
That's a national group, and to become an honorary leader, how much prestige does it take for people to be willing to ask for this mascot.
Looking at Li Sansi again, his main job now is to teach and educate people, which is a choice after getting older. Don't look at him in his sixties this year, but he has a reputation in the theater industry for fifty years, and he can really be said to have been famous in the world for forty or fifty years.
He was born in Liyuan, and he began to perform on stage at a young age. When he was a teenager, he became a master of the house, and then starred in various big dramas and became a generation of acting masters in people's minds. And he has studied all kinds of dramas, and he has a lot of skills at his fingertips, and he has almost all the skills. This also laid the foundation for his future development in multiple directions.
After nearly forty years old, Li Sansi felt that he could not leave theatrical performance. But when he was old and couldn't act until he retired, he found another way and gradually moved behind the scenes, first learning screenwriting, writing and acting by himself, but he didn't expect that he also had a high talent for screenwriting, and after exploring for three or five years, he actually re-adapted a historical drama "King Lanling". It was a great success, popular with the audience, and sold well in the market, and it is said that it toured hundreds of performances across the country, becoming the best stage play of the year!
Since then, he has strengthened his determination to go on the road of choreography and directing, and it took him nearly ten years to become an all-round talent who can write, direct and act in the theater industry. So versatile. Naturally, he became a legendary figure in the theater world and was hired as the honorary director of the Central Theater. There's nothing out of the ordinary.
When he was nearly 60 years old, Li Sansi was not so energetic about theatrical stage performances and planned to retire, when his alma mater, Huaxia Academy of Literature, approached him, hired him as a professor, and asked him to teach students the knowledge of drama theory.
Li Sansi gladly accepted. I started my career of teaching and educating people, and it has been seven or eight years now.
It can be said that in terms of theatrical performances, Li Sansi is the top person in China and has a huge reputation. For example, when it comes to drama creation, the first thing that comes to mind is Wang Forget and Xie Kun; When it comes to theatrical performances and choreographers, everyone thinks of Li Sansi.
He's such a great guy!
After listening to Ma Junwu's introduction, Su Wen broke out in a cold sweat, and asked with difficulty after a while: "Such a powerful person, so can he have something to do with Du Changfeng?" ”
Ma Junwu replied: "I heard others say that he values Du Changfeng very much and admires him very much. Du Changfeng is too treacherous, he suspended rehearsals, I thought he was going to admit defeat! Unexpectedly, he ran to Professor Li Sansi for help, and moved out of such a big mountain, this is what it looks like to compete with us to the end! ”
Su Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Just allow you to find Qin Hong as a pillar, don't you allow others to find a backer?" ”
Ma Junwu said with a choked heart: "It's okay now, all our previous advantages have been moved back by the other party, and everyone is on the same starting line again." ”
"You're talking too long, aren't you?" Su Wen didn't believe that a mere Li Sansi could have such a big effect. Even if he can be compared to Qin Hong, Su Wen believes in Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm"!
He didn't believe that the drama drummed up by Li Sansi could be better than "Thunderstorm".
Even if Li Sansi is an all-rounder in drama and can write and direct, so what. Now it is less than two weeks before the agreed performance time, Du Changfeng once interrupted the previous rehearsal, and now he has to start again, and there is not much time. Once they have decided on the project and chosen the role, the rehearsal time is only ten days at most.
In ten days, it is absolutely difficult to perform a play well. Even if the script is well written, it has to be streamlined and simple.
Once the plot is simple, Su Wen has nothing to worry about, how many simple dramas in the world can be compared to "Encounter"?
Unless Li Sansi is God, the drama he operates in a short period of time will definitely not win "Thunderstorm".
"Boss Su, you can't take it lightly, Professor Li Sansi's energy in the drama world is not something you can underestimate!" Ma Junwu said worriedly, "Not to mention anything else, in our school, the teachers and students of the drama major must support him." Even the senior professors and teachers in the school have a deep friendship with him, which is incomparable to the big star Qin Hong. ”
Su Wen asked rhetorically: "When does the difference between the high and low of literature look at the depth of connections?" Literary appreciation, everyone has a scale in their hearts. The eyes of the masses are bright, and when the two works are placed in front of them, which one is better and which time, unless it is speaking with a clear conscience, any favor and friendship must stand aside! ”
Ma Junwu smiled bitterly: "It's good if you have confidence." ”
"I'm confident in Thunderstorm!" Su Wen still said this.
In fact, there is one more reason why he didn't say it, because it was more black, that is, he suspected that the biggest reason why Li Sansi was teaching in the school was not because of retirement, but because he found that he had no market!
Unlike Qin Hong's retirement at the peak moment, what was the situation of Li Sansi seven or eight years ago?
According to Su Wen's understanding, although there is still a big market for dramas now. But it is undeniable that the market share is shrinking year by year. Twenty years ago, there was still a large market capacity for theatrical productions in terms of performances, even though there were already channels such as film and television at that time, there were still many people who were willing to buy tickets to enter the theater to watch the performance, and enjoy the live performance with everyone.
That changed a decade or two ago -- the maturity of computer special effects. It has changed the situation of film and television, and inspired people's passion to watch the big screen in the theater!
All kinds of special effects are applied to film and television, either majestic or beautiful and delicate, allowing people to enjoy the ultimate pleasure from sight and hearing. Since then, the performance of the drama in the theater has not been neglected, but it has not been very popular.
The situation is even worse in the new century, because the Internet has risen again. There are more people sitting in front of the computer watching TV and movies, and there is no interest in going to the theater to watch the movie.
Nowadays, most of the people who still go to the theater to watch the theater are people over 30 years old, when they are about 10 years old, there is no Internet, and the computer special effects are not yet mature, they follow their parents into the theater to watch the theater, and develop this habit. This concept of consumption is still maintained.
In other words, they still go to the theater to watch the play. It's more for that sentiment than how conservative they are.
People under the age of 30 have no incentive to enter the theater.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in another ten or twenty years, the theatrical performance market will completely degenerate to a point that is unbearable for operators. Clever people in the theater world have begun to think of ways to transform, most notably playwrights. While creating traditional theatrical works, they are also gradually moving closer to film and television scripts.
Fortunately, the creation in this area can be connected with film and television scripts, and a good drama itself has performance tension, which is naturally suitable for film and television production. Therefore, today's playwrights, as long as they are willing to stay close to the direction of film and television, can still live a very nourishing life, and it is easier for them to find a way to make money than those novelists who write novels that are difficult to adapt.
Out of these considerations, Su Wen guessed that Li Sansi seven or eight years ago was because he found that the market for his theatrical performances was decreasing, and he no longer launched a random theatrical work like 20 years ago, which could cause a scene of thousands of empty alleys.
In order to maintain his aura of being loved by thousands of people, he didn't want to be said to quit because he was gradually unpopular, so he thought of a lofty reason and took the initiative to retire.
Is there a higher reason than to teach and educate people?
Well, Su Wen admits that he is a little dark-bellied, and he is a little despicable to think so much about Professor Li. Perhaps there is a factor that worries that "Thunderstorm" will be sniped by Professor Li's works, so it is necessary to belittle the other party from a psychological level.
What is said in that sentence, strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy!
Of course, you can also say that this is a victory for the spirit of Ah Q.
"We have to believe in "Thunderstorm" and believe in Qin Hong." This is what Su Wen said the most to Ma Junwu.
This is somewhat irresponsible, as if saying that his "Thunderstorm" is very good, if he can't win, that's Qin Hong's reason.
Qin Hong, who was pinned on by Su Wen, felt Alexander.
She has more and wider news channels, and she heard about Li Sansi's exit from the mountain one step earlier than Su Wen, and even inquired about the repertoire of the other party's cooperation with Du Changfeng called "Optimus Prime".
"Optimus Prime...... Optimus Prime ...... Professor Lee: Is this to say that he is the Prime of Optimus in theatrical stage performance? Qin Hong was a little worried, "Optimus Prime is difficult to defeat, even if it is attacked by a thunderstorm, it can retreat with its whole body?" Professor Li, you're giving me a big problem. ”
Qin Hong could vaguely guess the reason why Li Sansi would come forward to help Du Changfeng was nothing more than that she Qin Hong was a movie-acter, not a drama stage major, and Su Wen, who provided the script, was a student majoring in fiction, and now he wanted to bully them as a drama major, so he naturally wanted to come out and win back a city.
Although the professors majoring in drama at Huaxia Academy of Literature have high professional qualities, they cannot be compared with Qin Hong in terms of fame, and if they want to be evenly matched, it seems that only Li Sansi, a professor who is a halfway monk, can be comparable.
Qin Hong is also a strong person, and he used to think that he came forward to act in a student-like competition, and he always had the feeling of bullying primary school students, and he felt guilty in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that she really loved the role of Su Yi, she wouldn't have been moved out of the mountain by Su Wen.
Now it's okay, with Li Sansi in the ring, everyone's status is the same, the fame is also the same, and the strength is also the same, no matter whether you win or lose, everyone won't say anything.
Let's have a dignified drama battle!
"Professor Li, if you save the scene temporarily, there will always be a little bit of fire. Now I'll give you about ten days, even if your "Optimus Prime" has been conceived for several years, so what, on the stage, everyone is watching the effect of the performance! If you don't rehearse in time, the actors have no tension, and your acting is blank and weak, no matter how prestigious you are, no matter how famous you are, in a place like Huaxia Academy of Literature where teachers and students have professional appreciation, all of this is useless. Whether it's good or not, it depends on the effect of the live performance! ”
For the performance effect, Qin Hong is very confident. These days, under her auspices, the playing of various roles is getting better. Especially for Su Yi's grasp, Qin Hong gradually had more feelings.
""Thunderstorm" is such an excellent play, so shocking, if it is messed up in my hands, I will not forgive myself." Qin Hong said to herself.
She is not afraid of Li Sansi, because she has confidence in "Thunderstorm".
A drama like "Thunderstorm", if it is performed on film and television, it will definitely not be able to do anything on the scene, and it can only depict the delicate performances of the characters and the full plot. Such a film or TV cannot be guaranteed to achieve commercial results, but it can hit major awards.
It's another thing to put it on the stage, live performances, live performances, live performances, one by one, if the characters have tension, the plot is full, and the ending is shocking, the atmosphere of watching, especially for the audience watching for the first time, will definitely arouse their greatest enthusiasm.
The fate of the characters in the play "Thunderstorm" can make people cry in the shock and slowly send warm applause!
"I'm not fighting alone. I have Su Yi, Zhou Ping, Sifeng, Shi Ping, Zhou Puyuan......" Qin Hong muttered to herself, "Every character in "Thunderstorm" is so unique, they all have their own vitality, I am fighting you with the strength of everyone, Professor Li, what is your "Optimus Prime"? ”
Not to mention Qin Hong's sorrows and joys, everyone knows that a drama war is about to break out! (To be continued......)
