Chapter 61: Thousand-Armed Guanyin
At the Peking Dance Academy, in an ordinary teacher's residential building, Gu Bei held a teacup in his hand and looked expectantly at an old professor sitting opposite him.
"You're going to choreograph this into a dance?" Teacher Sun Ying kept looking at the concept map of where Gu Bei came from, but he was also very careful and did not disrupt his order, "If you want to say that it is a dance, you have enough of these pictures, as long as you adjust the dancer's movement posture to become more elegant and more ornamental, and finally rehearse the dance and adjust it as a whole, it will be a very complete performance." ”
"That being said, I still need Professor Sun to be at the helm, I don't know anything about dance, these are just pictures that I imagined and thought were beautiful, and then I was trying to find a way to make them coherent, so I had these concept maps, I thought that Professor You have been immersed in the performance stage for many years, and you must have your own set of these."
Quietly putting on a high hat, Gu Bei then mentioned his request: "As you just said, professor, I want to ask you to make the dancers' movements more elegant, and it would be better to give some suggestions on the stage, modeling, costumes, and soundtrack." ”
"Just look at your picture, and you can't feel it intuitively, let's put it out first to see the effect, and then adjust it in time."
"Then it's going to trouble Professor Sun."
"Don't say that, I'm also useless, I took your reward and shared some worries for you." Teacher Sun Ying didn't mean to beat around the bush, and spoke very straightforwardly, "In this way, you find the dancers first, do you have any arrangements for the place?" ”
"I haven't contacted the rehearsal room yet, but if there is no problem on your side, Mr. Sun, I will contact you immediately." Gu Bei reassured, followed by a little embarrassed, "However, Teacher Sun, there is something I may need to tell you in advance." ”
Sun Ying didn't care, and said casually: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's just that the dancers are all deaf and mute, they can't hear, they can't speak, and they even have difficulty speaking."
Sun Ying really didn't expect this to be the case, he didn't react for a while, and looked at the concept map brought by Gu Bei again for a while, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"I'm sorry, I might be a bit presumptuous to ask, but I still can't figure out how a dancer with a hearing impairment feels the beat. Looking at it with the eyes doesn't seem a bit appropriate. ”
Hearing this, Gu Bei smiled indifferently and explained: "Actually, it's not that they can't hear any sound at all, but the sound sense is low to a certain limit, which allows them to get close to the speaker to feel it, and there is no problem with the sign language teacher to beat it, they are used to sign language." ”
"Hmm...... Let's try it first. Sun Ying also began to play drums in his heart, although this is quite a professional thing for him, but after all, he is working with deaf and mute.
After Sun Ying's side was finalized, Gu Bei immediately rented a dance rehearsal room next to the Dance Academy, mainly for the convenience of Teacher Sun Ying, and the tens of thousands of yuan in salary he got from filming "Silent River" were all spent on these things.
This movie is a main theme movie jointly produced by the Movie Channel, the Disabled Persons' Federation and the Huaguo Children's Association, and it is also a public welfare film.
After everything was finalized, Gu Bei drove the company's car and went alone to the deaf and dumb school where the filming of "Silent River" was filmed before, which was located in Beiping, but not in the city center.
Saying hello to the principal, Gu Bei quietly walked outside the classroom where the filming was taking place, the teacher was in class, Tiannan and Liu Yan sat down and took notes seriously, without disturbing, Gu Bei took out his camera and took a few photos secretly, then walked to the corner and waited quietly for the class bell.
After all, Gu Bei and these children had not been separated for a few days, and just as he was thinking, the teacher walked out with the teaching materials, and when he saw Gu Bei squatting on the steps, he immediately smiled and said, "Teacher Wenzhi, are you here?" ”
"Teacher Li, do you still call me Teacher Wenzhi?" Gu Bei got up, stretched out his right hand, shook it lightly, and said, "Are they all okay?" ”
"You were a little uncomfortable in the first two days of leaving, but then it got better, and these children are quite adaptable."
After saying a few words, Teacher Li led Gu Bei into the classroom, Gu Bei's sudden appearance made these children completely stunned, and the next second they surrounded them, they couldn't make a sound, but their eyes could speak, Gu Bei could feel it.
"I came here today to ask everyone to do me a favor, rehearse a dance, and shoot a video." Gu Bei used gestures to explain his intention.
Gu Bei didn't expect this group of children who were not professional dancers to dance "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" very well, Gu Bei just wanted to ask them to shoot a first version of the video, and with this video, Gu Bei could find the Disabled Persons' Federation, movie channels, and children's associations.
Because Gu Bei wants to send "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, so that some deaf and mute people can shine.
If Gu Bei sent this show in his own name, it would undoubtedly be whimsical, so Gu Bei thought of the leading parties behind "Silent River", the Disabled Persons' Federation, the Children's Association and the movie channel, led by them, so that they could have the opportunity to send it to the Spring Festival Gala program list.
The final performance must also be completed by professional dancers, and the selection of deaf and mute actors at that time is not something Gu Bei should consider.
After Gu Bei expressed his intentions, he quickly got the support of the school, and also gave a long vacation to the twenty-one students who were selected, and the parents of these children also agreed that they would follow Gu Bei to exercise.
Many parents also said that they should pay for their own expenses, but Gu Bei did not agree, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of twenty-one children for a period of time is still a small matter for Gu Bei, not to mention that the album is selling well now.
Returning to the city center with twenty-one children, Gu Bei did not rush to let the children rehearse, first took everyone to settle down, a very clean express hotel, two or three people in a room, and then went to the playground and the cinema.
After eating a good meal and sending all the children back to the hotel, Gu Bei drove to Teacher Sun Ying's house again, but he didn't expect that after leaving for a day, Teacher Sun Ying suddenly changed his mind.
Teacher Sun Ying didn't pick and choose, but found his old buddy Zhang Jigang, who was also a teacher at the dance academy when he was young, but he was transferred to the song and dance troupe after teaching for more than ten years.
Teacher Zhang Ying and Teacher Zhang Jigang have known each other for decades, and it happened that Zhang Jigang had mentioned to Zhang Ying a Buddhist Guanyin - Thousand-armed Guanyin, and thought it was very beautiful and could be presented on the stage, so Zhang Ying called Zhang Jigang.
Gu Bei was not unhappy, on the contrary, he was very happy, because this "Thousand Hands Guanyin" was originally the choreographed and directed work of Mr. Zhang Jigang, which brought great shock at the 2004 Greek Paralympics and the 2005 Spring Festival Gala.
Teacher Zhang Jigang originally just had an idea and wanted to make some articles on the material of "Thousand-armed Guanyin", but before he could start the specific implementation, he was cut off by Gu Bei with the memory of the HC old demon.
For this reason, Gu Bei was very weak after seeing Teacher Zhang Jigang, and he screamed one teacher after another, and he called it very sweet.
When Zhang Jigang heard that Gu Bei wanted to use a deaf and mute person to perform this show, his eyes lit up, if it wasn't late, Zhang Jigang wanted to see the effect immediately.
