Chapter 68: The Birth of the Art Troupe (Part II)
The introduction is usually a two-way street, Li Zhigao also introduced Yin Ruizhi to Su Yuqing after introducing Su Yuqing's affairs to Yin Ruizhi, and after hearing about Yin Ruizhi's name, Su Yuqing, who also knew a little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, immediately walked over generously, shook hands and greeted the name for a long time, and soon mingled with Yin Ruizhi.
If you are a caring person, in fact, you can see the difference between Su Yuqing and Yin Ruizhi from this.
Although Yin Ruizhi is also half of the people in the rivers and lakes, she was actually born in a small landlord's family, surnamed Ge Ganglie, and practiced martial arts because of the coincidence and interest when she was a child, and later worshiped under Qiu Jin's door, and turned a young and rebellious mood into a revolutionary ambition. Such a person is arrogant in his bones, so even in the face of Li Zhigao, even if he has recognized Li Zhigao's ability and skill in his heart, he still won't show how weak he is, he is still the same as before, and he doesn't hide his feelings very much.
Su Yuqing is different, she has followed her father through the streets since she was a child, she has been forced to practice martial arts since she was a child, and she is forced to greet people with a smile. And unlike Yin Ruizhi, who has always lived in the middle and high-end, Su Yuqing lived at the bottom from the beginning, and later became famous in the Jiqing class, and his life was slightly better, but no matter what, born in such a family, Su Yuqing's own reputation is not good, after all, the reputation of a drama can't run away no matter what, even if it is the head of the troupe, it is useless.
The so-called drama is ruthless, bitch is meaningless, it means that they can act and hide, in fact, they can't be blamed for this, because in this era, people in these two professions are vulnerable groups, if they can't pretend or act, they will have been eliminated by society a long time ago.
Yin Ruizhi and Su Yuqing are about the same age, both in their early twenties, and they are not married, according to this era, they are all older leftover women, but Yin Ruizhi does not talk about marriage for the sake of the revolutionary cause, but Su Yuqing is difficult to talk about marriage because of his identity, after all, Yin Ruizhi is a revolutionary aspirant, and Su Yuqing is just a female actor, a female actor, at this time, she is usually either looking for a partner in the same industry, or she is the life of a junior or stepfamily to a large family, and few can cultivate the positive fruit as the original match.
It can be said that if these two people play palace fights together, at first the man may be attracted by Yin Ruizhi's unique surname, but in the end, it is definitely Su Yuqing who defeats Yin Ruizhi, and Yin Ruizhi can at most be a sympathetic tragic role.
After thinking of this, Li Zhigao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, interrupting the enthusiastic reminiscence between them, and began to ask about the matter, that is, to investigate the construction of the art troupe.
Hearing Li Zhigao's question, Su Yuqing immediately became formal and began to lead Li Zhigao and Yin Ruizhi to the front hall to watch the children's performances.
After coming to the front hall, Li Zhigao found that the courtyard of the front hall was full of dozens of young men and girls, all of them wore cyan practice uniforms, and under the supervision of several strong men with sticks, they were walking in the open space in a regular manner.
Sure enough, after asking, knowing that they had been standing for two hours, that is, four hours later, Li Zhigao immediately asked, is this useful?
"Of course it works." Su Yuqing replied with a smile, "The so-called high-rise buildings rise from the ground, no matter what you do, standing on piles is a basic skill." Although adults ask them to sing and dance, if they don't have solid basic skills, they won't be able to stand well on the stage, and if they can't stand well, this frame will not be good, the frame will not be good, and no matter what they do, they will not be good, so these are necessary. Therefore, it is necessary to practice at least three hours of standing piles every day. ”
Su Yuqing said this, Yin Ruizhi, who had a good impression of her, also spoke, according to her, standing on the pile is indeed very important, not only on the stage, but also in today's martial arts world, practice also starts from the standing, at the beginning of the time to stand on the pile accounted for more than seventy percent, and when the steps are stable and the surname is sinking, you can start to learn boxing posture.
Hearing this, Li Zhigao nodded, thinking deeply, but he couldn't help but rejoice for the actors of later generations.
You see, they are all actors, the children here have to suffer since they were young, practice basic skills little by little, and in the end they don't have a good reputation, they have to be careful everywhere, which is the same as the actors of later generations, as long as they are coquettish, sell cute, have nothing to do to post some exciting pictures, or play a cheating scandal or something, they can become popular immediately, how to say, input and output are not at the same level at all.
Although he also agreed with the other party doing this, Li Zhigao didn't have time to wait for an hour, so he simply asked them to stop first and let themselves test their singing skills and performance ability.
The big boss spoke, and Su Yuqing naturally didn't hesitate, so she asked Li Zhigao to go to the side room to drink tea and wait, and she asked these people to prepare.
After drinking tea in the front hall for nearly half an hour and chatting with Yin Ruizhi for half an hour, Su Yuqing personally came over to inform him and said that he was ready to visit.
followed Yin Ruizhi back to the courtyard of the front hall, and found that at this time, the courtyard was full of four rows of people from low to high, and the whole thing was the posture of a choir.
The four rows of people from the lowest to the highest were all the same, and there were twelve people in each row, and of the twelve people in each row, six on the left were men, and six on the right were women.
The women are all wearing white navy uniforms, curly brimmed hats, red ties, and makeup on their faces, which looks particularly good-looking; The men are all wearing yellow-green American-style team training uniforms, wearing big caps and red ties, and they look mighty and handsome.
That is to say, this four-row choir, a total of forty-eight people, twenty-four women, twenty-four men, six men and six women in each row, a total of four rows, the overall look is white and green.
Seeing Li Zhigao nodding, Su Yuqing waved his hand, and the performance was about to start.
After Su Yuqing waved his hand, he heard a sudden sound of beautiful music, and then a very square, very sunny and handsome boy in military uniform walked out in a few steps, and began to recite poetry loudly to the standing microphone in the middle in the background music:
Pangu opened the sky, and the three emperors expanded the land.
Five thousand spring and autumn, civilization is complete.
The sages of the past dynasties, the etiquette is clear.
The mountains and rivers are vertical, and the virtue is outstanding.
The great powers entered the room, and the Chixian sword warriors.
Cut my treasure land, plunder my riches.
Deceive my parents and enslave my kindred.
External and internal disasters are full of devastation.
Sad husband! Sad husband!
Speaking of this, everyone behind shouted loudly: "Sad husband! Sad husband! ”
Immediately afterwards, the handsome sunny guy raised his voice again and began to recite with an angry face:
The golden ou was trampled on by it,
The living creatures are left to slaughter,
The social mourning power is disgraced,
Kyushu is poor and humiliated,
Hunger is everywhere, weeping blood is weeping.
If the family and country are broken, how can they exist?
People with lofty ideals are benevolent, and they seek their way through hatred.
Go forward and follow, swear to humiliate me.
Heavenly Fury! Heavenly Fury!
Similarly, speaking of this, the people behind also roared once: "Heavenly Fury! Heavenly Fury! ”
It's just that reciting here, Yin Ruizhi was already clenched with his fists, and he was excited, but at this moment, a girl wearing a white military uniform and with particularly big eyes suddenly came over from behind, and as soon as she walked over, she began to raise her hand and shouted: "Who cares if you stand on the largest continent in the five continents and the largest country in the continent?" I am also Chinese; Who cares if the population is one-third of the world's population? I am also Chinese; Who cares if the history of more than 4,000 years has not been interrupted? I'm Chinese too! ”
After saying this, the people behind shouted in unison: Strong China, mighty China! Long live China, long live it!
Immediately afterwards, the man and woman who came out began to recite in unison: "Please enjoy the first dedication song of our Chinese sons and daughters, "To the Motherland"! ”
At this time, suddenly there was another burst of music, and then the girl was heard singing first:
Write down every page with your name
Every song you sing is your love song
I can't tell you how many colors beauty there are
Mother, China, you will never have bad legs
I can't tell how much commitment there is
Mother, China, you will always keep me at home
The girl stopped singing here, and the boy continued to sing:
Every word you tell is your story
The weight of gratitude is your favor
I can't tell you how many colors the dream has
Mother, China, you will always be the best
I can't tell you how persistent love is
Mother, China, you will always let me engrave
After that, the chorus:
Why do I always have tears in my eyes?
Mother, China, my motherland
Because I love this land so much
Mother, China, my motherland
Because I love this land so much
Mother, China, my motherland.
Singing here, Li Zhigao is okay, he doesn't feel much, but Yin Ruizhi is already crying, he can't help himself, not only her, all the singers, including that Su Yuqing, are also full of tears, even if they have sung this song many times and practiced it many times.
Obviously, Li Zhigao plagiarized something from a famous musical and dance drama "The Road to Rejuvenation" in the later Republic of China, but after all, there were differences, so he did not completely comply, but made a lot of excerpts, only performed the first movement, "Mountain and River Festival" with deep grief and indignation as the main theme, such as the poem recited by the boy at the beginning, it is "Mountain and River Festival", in addition, the songs such as "My Home" and "To the Motherland" also slightly disrupted the singing order, and sang "To the Motherland" at the beginning, highlighting the intense feelings, The lyrics of some of the songs have also been slightly modified to better suit the current situation, and in addition, the dance is much simpler, with more poetry recitations, although not so majestic, but more detailed and sensational.
Of course, to make these, it is not possible to do without modern audio equipment, not to mention anything else, just those music, no one can play it at this time, so these audio equipment are all professional equipment bought by Li Zhigao from later generations, and this set of equipment alone is millions.
Although the audio equipment is too advanced, Li Zhigao has long planned that in the future, this art troupe will only perform in its own troops, or hold concerts such as military and civilian families, and will not be open to the powers casually, so as long as it is well protected, these are not problems, anyway, the Chinese at this time have little knowledge, and if you give him something too advanced and something that is second advanced in the West, they will not think that there is much difference.
That is to say, as long as you control several sound engineers, the audio equipment is well hidden, and you only listen to the sound and do not see the equipment, there should be no problem, even if you come to foreigners, you can also find an excuse to push over, such as having a band playing behind and so on.
Of course, I will definitely start my own symphony orchestra in the future, but that is not something that can be done in a while, but there is no orchestra now, and we can't waste food because of choking, so I used the modern audio equipment of later generations in advance.
Anyway, this castrated version of the large-scale revue of "The Road to Revival", although it is not as majestic as later generations, but whether it is the lyrics of the song or the costumes, props and equipment, they are all quite good, and although these young boys and girls are still a little young, they are more passionate, obviously, they have been affected by the connotation in the process of interpretation, and it is estimated that they have begun to believe in Li Zhigao's sense of mission, sense of responsibility and other things.
turned his head and found that Yin Ruizhi was such a strong person, and he was almost crying, and as far as Li Zhigao knew, those children who sang these with tears streaming down their faces on the stage, don't look at the current singing and acting very well, but when they rehearsed before, they often stopped and hugged their heads and cried in the middle of singing, and they always couldn't stick to the end, that is, they had more rehearsals to be able to perform it as completely as today.
and Su Yuqing, who is usually very shrewd, once he enters the situation, it is easy to enter the play, and the tears never stop.
It seems that in the whole performance scene, Li Zhigao was the only one who did not shed tears, of course, no one will blame him, but will think that he is a strong performance, not to mention anything else, at least Yin Ruizhi has completely changed his opinion of Li Zhigao.
"It seems that the power is a little bigger, and the sensationalism is a bit too much." Li Zhigao frowned and pondered, "Well, it's decided, when they are allowed to perform in the future, the people watching the performance must not bring any weapons!" Also, using this to fool the people of the Restoration Society should work well, right? ”
