Chapter 0485 - A Stunning Dance
"Prepare all units, let's do this again, Zhao Shiwen and Li Xinyu just concentrate on fiddling with your puppets, don't be affected by your teammates' accompaniment!"
"Understood!" The two smiled sweetly and made an OK gesture.
"Ready, let's shoot!"
The camera started shooting again, and this time without suona, the world seemed to be much quieter.
Although other instruments, especially drums and gongs, this instrument is not good at feints, and can only be struck in real time. Fortunately, they have a good sense of rhythm in learning music, and it is not too difficult to beat, and there is that beat.
A whole shot was taken, and there was no major problem. Although it is a girl group, people used to sing on the stage, and they still have this acting talent, and all kinds of expressions are barely in place.
"Yes, the masters are on the stage, the camera lights will be shifted, and we will shoot in front of the stage!"
Director Wang Xianzhi said hello, and the original crew of the troupe guarding next to him came on stage, taking over the guys at hand of the Xuanji girls, and waiting for the director's instructions.
Because there is no need to slap their faces, the masters are not so nervous, and everything is the same as the usual performance.
The lighting team has rearranged the lights, and the camera has been moved to the front of the stage, adjusting the angle to shoot the close-up on the stage.
The stage of the puppet show is much smaller than the stage in our normal impression, after all, the marionette is small, and the stage naturally has to be reduced in proportion.
"Ready, go!"
With the order of director Wang Xianzhi, the masters of the troupe began to show their true strength.
Whether it is the accompaniment or the dance of the puppets on the stage, it is not something that can be compared with the performance of the young girl Xuan Ji just now.
In particular, the most intuitive puppet dance footage captured by the camera.
Just now, I only shot the backstage, and I didn't shoot the performance of the puppet at the front desk, but the camera responsible for taking the tidbits recorded it.
It's two polio!
And now on the stage, the same two marionettes dance much more beautifully, every move is like a professional classical dancer, and even the water sleeves are fluttering.
Director Wang Xianzhi, who was sitting in front of the monitor, was stunned, he never thought that these two little puppets could be so graceful and beautiful, as if they were alive.
Don't look at him, but he grew up in a big city and has never seen a marionette show. I was really amazed when I saw these puppets for the first time just now, but after all, I was there, and I couldn't pull my face and scream blindly like the seven little girls of Xuanji Girl had never seen the world, so I endured it.
But now, he really couldn't help it.
Absolutely beautiful!
Amazing!
In the words of otaku, this is a figure that can move!
"Ahem." Han Lan next to him also noticed that he was distracted, and coughed lightly twice to remind him.
Only then did he come back to his senses, continue to conduct, and use his filmmaking technique to record this beautiful picture on the stage.
This one was easily passed, and then the filming of the extras in front of the stage began.
According to the plot setting, this is the memory of the old man of the silk show, which is about how he ran over to watch the wire show when he was young without listening to his parents, and then he was fascinated by the marionettes on the stage.
Wang Xianzhi doesn't have many requirements for the extras, just let them perform according to the normal puppet show.
But after all, it is not a professional group performance, and this set of shots was stunned three times before passing.
A group of adults are not as good as the children who played the old man in his childhood, and when shooting close-ups, he lit a lollipop the size of a fist behind the camera, and the whole soul was hooked.
Then it was to rearrange the scene and start shooting Han Lan's shots, mainly to supplement some fragmented memories of the old man taking the puppet to the north and south. Han Lan is also an old drama bone now, and several sets of shots were filmed quickly.
Counting all kinds of cloth scenes, this scene was filmed after half a day.
At noon, the crew invited the masters to have a meal nearby, and Wang Xianzhi seemed to have opened the conversation box throughout the whole process, chatting with the masters about the puppet show, and the more they chatted, the more they chatted, the more hilarious they became.
It is rare for the masters to see a young person interested in this kind of "old antique", and you and I told him word by word, from the production of puppets to the performance of puppets, and some legends, so that a group of people forgot to pick up vegetables.
Han Lan listened very happily on the side, and he was not afraid to knock chopsticks with others on a table of dishes.
But later, when it comes to the current situation in the past ten years, one by one sighs.
"Master, haven't you tried to improve it? Let's be a little more flexible, the inheritance is not preserved in the original locality, in fact, the puppet shows you are performing now are not puppet shows from more than 2,000 years ago, right? Listening to their sighs, Han Lan couldn't help but stop chopping rice and asked casually.
"Alas~ I've tried, don't you all say that you want to keep pace with the times? We also learned from the singing drama in Yizhou and made it into TV, but the response was not very good...... "The Chinese accents of southerners are relatively strong, especially the elderly.
The accents of these masters arranged by the troupe to assist them in filming are also very serious, but everyone is basically used to getting along.
"And then the celebrity endorsement, I can't afford it, if you didn't take the initiative to come to us to cooperate this time, where would we be able to afford you. Listen to our head of the group, you are now asking for millions in appearance fees, right? Young and promising, our troupe can't make so much money in a few years......" The master also opened the chatterbox, and said what was in his heart with a pout.
Han Lan smiled awkwardly, his appearance fee was not more than millions.
But the situation of the troupe is indeed like this now, they are also artists, and these traditional artists are not as good as the trainees of Tomahawk Entertainment.
"Master, what I'm talking about keeping pace with the times is not as simple as letting you move the puppet show from the small stage to the screen, there are other aspects, especially the art style, music, and performance content, all of which need to be changed." Han Lan reminded with a smile again.
The masters smiled and waved their hands, indicating that they didn't understand.
Han Lan also reacted, it's not that they don't want to change, but their style is like this, they don't understand what contemporary young people like, after all, the generation gap of decades is there, how to change it?
The youngest in the troupe seems to be in their forties, right?
It's really hard to understand what the young men and girls like these days.
Han Lan thought about it, and asked the Xuanji girl next to her to help bring the customized puppets used in the filming just now, and explained to them as an example: "Master, for example, these puppets that we asked you to help customize must be different from your own puppets, right?" ”
The masters naturally smiled and nodded, for them, this is a big difference, these female dolls are too thin!
But in fact, the Xuan Ji girl is not thin, compared with other girl groups on the market, there is still a little baby fat on her face, and her figure is not particularly thin.
After all, I usually have to practice martial arts, and I can't bear it at all.
"Master, do you believe it? These are also puppets made by you, and they will be more popular with young people. Han Lan smiled very confidently.
