Staying up late and working overtime can be a burden for some people.

Not paid yet.

But in Wan Changsheng's view, it was an extraordinary experience.

Around midnight, the actors left the stage one after another, and before leaving, they all came to tell the props team that they had worked hard, and Wan Changsheng felt that two or three of the old actors were a little familiar, but they couldn't call their names, for fear of being embarrassed by the wrong shout.

The main thing is that all his attention is on the drawing of props.

There are a large number of objects made of foam, there are also steps of the city wall that are cut and bound and painted with wooden boards, and most importantly, there are a large number of enthusiastic marching figures on the backdrop.

Wan Changsheng simply participated in the production and design of props and objects, and after carrying the wooden board several times, he mainly drew characters on the newly unfolded background board.

When he was still cutting and framing the background board paper, the stage teacher noticed that Wan Chang's vivid hand ability was very strong: "Have you learned? ”

Wan Changsheng was modest: "I have never painted such a stage, but I have painted a lot in temples and theaters." ”

After looking at the long lines outlined by Wan Changsheng, the stage teacher was even more determined: "The foundation is very thick...... But here to be a little rougher, come, come and take a look at the background board before this, the theater stage art is different from other painting forms, including the stage art of film and television dramas, the audience here may be tens or hundreds of meters away, they can't see the details, so we must emphasize the big relationship first. ”

Wan Changsheng suddenly realized: "No wonder the makeup on the actors' faces is also a bit exaggerated?" ”

The teacher nodded with satisfaction: "That's the truth, the pattern on the background is the first big relationship, and the details can't dominate the crowd, so ......"

Wan Changsheng hurriedly and carefully observed other people's drawings.

So to look up at the world, Wan Changsheng was once the most proud of the freehand large-scale drawing, which seems to be a basic skill here, and the number of roads is not the same, but it also has the ability to print at high speed: "Young people like you are rare, in the past, there were several experts in various counties and cities who could draw large advertising posters, especially for painting movie theater posters, and sometimes some self-taught guys are very powerful, but since the popularization of computer inkjet painting, now even making stage sets, many young people are used to using computer PS printing, The new technology is true, but the power in the hand is completely atrophied......"

Because Wan Changsheng does have his own strengths in large-scale modeling, he is as easy as he can get, there is almost no waste of modification and adjustment, and the big scene of crowds is quickly sketched out with a pencil.

The stage teacher only needs to follow the conductor two or three people to quickly color and fill, which is extremely efficient.

Therefore, several other staff members who did the stage props and scenery were full of praise: "Mr. Lei, this is just like an apprentice you brought, the cooperation is so good, and the effect is good!" ”

Teacher Lei smiled: "Xiao Wan is not necessarily willing to follow me to do this, what is wrong with his skills, he has to come to the background to do chores?" ”

Wan Changsheng hurriedly said: "Then I'll call you a teacher, I've been doing chores since I was a child, and I can learn these from you today, and I will benefit a lot!" ”

Everyone was busy with their work and coaxed by the way: "Worship a teacher, worship a teacher, just go to Teacher Lei for further study!" ”

Wan Changsheng also made small talk: "I only took the Shumei exam this year, if there is no problem in the college entrance examination next month, there is a high probability that I will go to Shumei to study Chinese painting." ”

Teacher Lei's hand didn't stop, but his expression was a little thoughtful: "Shu Mei...... I don't have a major in stage art, are you interested in practicing this craft with me during the holidays? In fact, with the crew, the income is still not low. ”

This is really intentional to let Wan Changsheng enter the industry, but how can Wan Changsheng care about income: "I also want to learn, but the art is not good, in addition to painting, I focus more on seal carving and carving, as long as you don't dislike it, I will have the opportunity to come to Pingjing in the future and ask you more to learn." ”

Mr. Lei is not surprised, what to say about the stage art major, there are indeed masters, but this has always been a supporting project in the performing arts industry, and there are very few artists who have really become famous and become famous in this specially.

So for the rest of the time, while painting, I just taught Wan Changsheng some details of this stage art.

The director didn't leave, she took the screenwriter and others to change her lines, but after all, she was too old to compare her energy with a young man like Wan Changsheng, so she came over after two o'clock to see the progress of the modification of the scene props.

Not only do these things have to be done, but also how to put them on stage, which are now large mechanized stages that must be replaced and adjusted in a short closing time.

This requires a lot of effort from the stage art team.

Aunt Xi stood there from a distance and watched Wan Changsheng and Teacher Lei busy, busy without utilitarianism.

There was a little more smile on his tired face, and he felt that although he met in Pingshui, what he handed over to Wan Changsheng was very trusting.

I casually found a backstage chair to sit on it, watched the young man draw everywhere, and then slowly fell asleep.

The assistant director hurriedly and quietly took a small blanket and covered Aunt Xi, and asked the big brothers in the props team to be quiet, Director Xi has been sleep-deprived for a long time.

Mr. Lei looked at the progress and was more relieved, and invited everyone to go out to smoke a cigarette.

Wan Changsheng didn't smoke, but he was finally able to comfortably browse the artworks outside the entire Grand Theater, and the director's assistant asked him to help buy a few cups of coffee on the vending machine outside.

For Wan Changsheng, this is the most wonderful moment.

The huge National Center for the Performing Arts has now become his private art space.

It's like a magical night at the museum.

Holding the tag of the director's assistant to his work card, Wan Changsheng lingered in the huge building that was still brightly lit and maintained its image.

The feeling of being usually crowded with people and being empty now is not too cool.

Except for being checked by the patrol security guard once, no one cares about what Wan Changsheng is doing.

Because he never goes indoors, he wanders around the hall full of artworks, and it is estimated that this dirt bun can be seen in all the surveillance videos and wandering around with his hands behind his back.

If it weren't for Teacher Lei calling Wan Changsheng, this fool would have been able to wander outside until dawn!

But this work really did it at dawn, and it was only after five o'clock that Wan Changsheng drew the background board he needed to draw, the kind of scene structure that he could draw and shout, and he could draw everything he could, and the rest was for the props team to increase the number of people to do some modeling of the city wall during the day.

The young man's physical strength is good, Mr. Lei, most of them are so tired that they rest on the folding chairs, and the satisfied Wan Changsheng can hardly see the exhaustion, he took a few photos with his mobile phone from afar, and solemnly said goodbye to Mr. Lei, and did not disturb the director who fell asleep on the sofa, and ran away quietly.

I didn't ask for anyone's remuneration, nor did I ask for any vehicle pick-up, and I didn't even have a joking breakfast, so I took a taxi and went back to the hotel, just in time to have breakfast at the hotel here.

It really didn't delay the arrangement of the group activities at all, and got a lot of curious questions from the student cadres.

Wan Changsheng took out a photo of himself wandering around the Grand Theater alone to show it.

On the other side, the actors who arrived one after another from seven or eight o'clock saw a new set of stage props, especially the background board and group portrait of the large and dignified shouting crowd in the backfield.

This kind of group portrait is rarely seen in Western paintings, because Western oil paintings have to pay more or less attention to the distinction between primary and secondary, which is very different from the scattered perspective of Chinese paintings, which can be evenly stained with rain and dew.

There are so many characters, there is no perfunctory difference between the front and back rows, young students are mainly dressed, and there are ordinary citizens, intellectuals, and small traders of that era......

All walks of life are crowded there, but with their own different expressions, not meticulously crafted realism, but each with its own vivid spirituality.

Maybe in terms of technique, the well-informed actors don't think it's superb, but it's real, just like seeing those vivid faces in the square in front of the Guanyin Temple.

An ordinary face, but at an extraordinary moment, bursts out beyond the ordinary soul!

The actors who arrived one after another almost stood still, as if they wanted to draw the vitality they needed to express from the faces of these background characters!

Director Xi came over at this time, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at the actors who turned around.

In the end, the same word came out of the corners of the mouth: "Change!" Change it again! ”

This is how the inspiration for artistic creation is sometimes stimulated.
