Chapter 79: "Repair the Old as the Old"
Everything she enjoys now is thanks to this face that looks very similar to Jiang Yueyao!
It's ridiculous!
Ying Ru slowly stood up, walked to the vanity mirror, removed his makeup with trembling fingers, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the mirror blankly, resenting himself for being like this for the first time in his life!
The Lin family didn't give her anything!
The only one who gave her this appearance, but I didn't expect this appearance to be the root cause of her becoming another woman's stand-in!
Thinking of this, the corners of Ying Ruye's lips couldn't help but raise a hint of sarcasm, and she stared at herself in the mirror and sneered: "What qualifications do you have to extravagant those feelings!" "She should have seen it clearly in her last life, she is a person who does not deserve any feelings, whether it is family or friendship, and in the end it is love, reality will slap her hard, let her wake up completely, don't do those ridiculous spring and autumn dreams.
That night, I should have lost sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, all the scenes in her previous life were in front of her, whether it was the faces of the Lin family, or Lin Ruomeng's bravado in front of her in the end, or the stiffness between her and Lu Sinian, everything that happened was like a ghost, lingering in front of her eyes, not letting her live in peace.
The next morning, I was woken up by the alarm clock at six o'clock.
I didn't sleep all night, and the dark circles under my eyes were heavy, because I had to go to the office to find Mr. Ma at nine o'clock in the morning, I didn't dare to delay, so I got up quickly, Hanshan Manor is still a little far from the film academy, get up at half past six, clean up at seven o'clock, rush to the school at about eight fifty, and walk to the office in ten minutes, enough!
When he went downstairs, Lu Sinian hadn't left yet, he was sitting at the table with breakfast, and when he saw her coming down, he raised his eyebrows: "So early?" ”
"yes, it's a little late."
"Let the driver drop you off."
Ying Ru did not refuse, since Lu Sinian used her as Jiang Yueyao's stand-in, then everyone just took what they wanted, he needed to find comfort on her side, and she, accepting some of the benefits he offered, why not?
For the whole night, I should have thought it through thoroughly.
The driver drove her to the vicinity of the film school, and Ying got out of the car and hurriedly walked towards the film school.
When I entered the school and walked to Teacher Ma's office, I happened to meet Bai Wenyuan on the way.
The two went to the office together, and on the way they exchanged views on the rest of the content of the previous discussion, and when they arrived at the office, Mr. Ma asked the two to sit.
"Let both of you come over today, the main reason is that the two of you collide in the topic."
Ying Ru said softly: "Teacher Ma, Bai Wenyuan and I discussed it over the weekend, and I think it is possible to combine the two themes into one." Then, she talked about the ideas she and Bai Wenyuan had discussed before.
After listening to this, Teacher Ma smiled: "Don't be nervous, I asked you to come over today, and I think the same way." ”
As soon as they heard this, Ying Ru and Bai Wenyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't cut it off.
"I think the idea you just said is very good." Teacher Ma nodded approvingly, at this time, Bai Wenyuan handed over the tablet, this is the thoughts and ideas they sorted out in the bubble tea shop on Friday, Teacher Ma took the computer and looked at it, very satisfied, "Yes, the ideas you discussed are already very perfect, and you can prepare for the preliminary preparations." ”
"Good!" Ying Ru and Bai Wenyuan glanced at each other, and their hearts were overjoyed.
Teacher Ma glanced at the clock on the wall: "I have a meeting in a while, if you have any questions, call me." ”
"Okay, Mr. Ma."
"By the way, you must remember to communicate with the subjects and be friends, so as to dispel their unfamiliarity and sense of restraint with the camera." Teacher Ma specially instructed, "I'm not worried about Du Chengqian, but Bai Wenyuan, the children you want to photograph must communicate well." ”
"Teacher, I remember."
The background color of a documentary is truth, and one of the major problems of a documentary is to maintain the authenticity of the subject in front of the camera.
Therefore, at the beginning of the filming, the documentary should establish a relationship with the subject, which is not the relationship between the photographer and the photographed, but a "participatory" relationship.
Now that the topic has been decided, the next thing is the pre-shooting.
Zhang Yang had already given Ying Ru the contact information about Du Chengqi before, and he had also greeted Du Chengqi before Ying Ru was contacted, so Ying Ru was very easy to confirm the shooting with Du Chengqi here.
This documentary should be such as the collaboration with Bai Wenyuan, their tentative name is "Repair the Old as the Old", interspersed with two lines to show the current situation of Peking Opera, Du Chengqi and the children who have been learning Peking Opera since they were young in the art school, before they decided to work separately, but Bai Wenyuan proposed that they should be together, so that they can have more ideas.
Seeing Du Chengqi for the first time in person, he should still be taken aback.
She had never seen a woman who could wear a traditional coat and gown so suave and elegant, and her gestures were elegant, so she should have some understanding of the meaning of "jiaoer".
"That's what you are, aren't you?" Du Cheng greeted her with a smile, "Zhang Yang and I mentioned you." ”
Ying Ru hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands: "Hello Mr. Du, I am Ying Rushi, this is my classmate, and this film is our cooperation." ”
Bai Wenyuan also hurriedly stretched out his hand, Du Chengqi shook hands with a smile, and said, "It's our luck that young people like you can come to pay attention to traditional culture!" ”
"Teacher Du is too polite." Ying said hurriedly.
The preparatory work took about a month to prepare, during this time, in addition to doing the preliminary preparations, they ran on both sides of Du Chengqi and the art school almost every day, Du Chengqi was mainly to observe her life and see what material could be filmed, and in addition to this, they also had to have a good relationship with the children of the art school to eliminate the children's sense of distance from the camera.
When filming, Ying Ru and Bai Wenyuan pulled two people from the photography department to form a group, so that the four-person team was finalized.
In the past two days, the focus of filming is the beginning and end of Du Chengqi's new play "Forty Thousand" created in order to promote Peking Opera. It is said that the average age of the creative team of "Forty Thousand" is less than 35 years old, among which Du Chengqi has raised the average, and these creators, like Du Chengqian, are exploring the younger presentation and dissemination of Peking Opera.
In addition to the instinct to inherit Peking Opera, it is also because of a very practical reason - it is difficult for young opera artists to get ahead if they do not have new performances.
"Mr. Mei Lanfang performed all the traditional old dramas at that time when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and began to try his own new things at the age of twenty-one; And we are now in our twenties and have just graduated, and then we have to talk about seniority, and it may be difficult to play the role when we are thirty years old. Du Chengqian's expression was a little helpless, "The youth of contemporary opera actors is "infinitely extended", and only new operas can give them a way to show themselves. ”
"Forty Thousand" is an experimental small theater Peking Opera created by Du Chengqi who turned to the background as a producer two years ago.
The play is based on Wu Yan's "Awakening Words" in the Qing Dynasty, a life on the stage, a table and two chairs, telling the story of buying a father with 40,000, which seems absurd, but in fact it is affectionate, reflecting the importance of the Chinese people to the concept of family, which still has reference significance to this day.
"For me, Peking Opera is Peking Opera, there is no distinction between the old and the new, although "Forty Thousand" is a new opera, the form is very traditional, but the meaning is universal." Du Chengqi faced the camera and looked down-to-earth and generous, "If Peking Opera wants to resonate with the current audience, it cannot blindly pursue modern and contemporary themes, but on the contrary, money, gender, life and death, which have little to do with the times, and the eternal and unchanged values can touch people's hearts more......."
The camera is set up there, and it should be like sitting opposite Du Chengqi, just like chatting between friends, and this kind of interview can touch people's hearts even more.
"By the way, there's a performance of "Forty Thousand" next weekend, do you want to shoot it?" Du Chengqi suddenly asked.
Ying Ru nodded hurriedly: "Of course, if you can." ”
In fact, this is a documentary after all, even if Du Chengqi disagrees, they have to do their best to persuade Du Chengqi to agree...... Of course, it's better to agree directly.
During the period of filming with Du Chengqi, the four people in their group were also very familiar with Du Chengqi's relationship.
Before the performance of "Forty Thousand", Du Chengqi had an appointment with a friend, so the four members of the group also followed her to Qingxing Mountain in the imperial capital.
There is a farmhouse in the middle of the mountain, and before I had time to catch my breath when I arrived halfway up the mountain, I heard the two photography brothers say excitedly: "The scenery on this mountain is so beautiful, you can take some empty shots!" ”
An empty shot, also known as a "scenery shot", refers to a shot in which no one is in the picture. Sometimes it's used for a special show, sometimes it's used to explain the background environment, sometimes it's used to use scenery to express lyricism, in short, it's very important.
"If so, get up early tomorrow to shoot the sunrise!" Bai Wenyuan looked excited.
Du Chengqi's friend who met this time also studied Peking Opera before, but in the end he didn't stick to it, he should be like an inspiration, and felt that the comparison between the two parties could better express the theme, the friend looked at the busy group of four, and then smiled at Du Chengqi and said: "Old Du, you are really working everywhere now!" ”
Du Chengqi smiled and said, "Someone has to do this!" ”
Yes, someone has to carry it forward, someone has to watch it, someone has to do it, otherwise these traditional cultures will only become a stroke in the history books in the end, and her heart has been touched again, and at the same time, she has a lot of ideas about the documentary she wants to make.
