Chapter 249: Formal Rehearsal
There is such a variable as dance.
The filming of the next program can no longer be carried out as originally planned.
In order not to delay the filming progress, the two simply divided their labor, Su Qi first followed the program team to shoot normally, and Gu Cheng went to the Shaanxi ~ West Song and Dance Grand Theater alone.
Decades of spring and autumn fruits, several generations of generations.
Shaanxi Ge, formerly known as the "Northwest Literature and Art Work Troupe", has a song and dance troupe, an opera troupe, a national symphony orchestra and other institutions, a professional performance team, and has dedicated a large number of excellent repertoire and works to the public.
The Huaxuan Office greeted the song and dance troupe in advance.
When Gu Cheng arrived, Shen Huaqing, the head of Shaanxi Ge, was already waiting with someone.
"Hello Teacher Gu, I'm Shen Huaqing, the head of Shaanxi Ge."
"I'm Zhou Li, the choreographer of Shaanxi Song!"
"I'm Zhang Wei, the music producer of Shaanxi Song!"
Several of them are well-known seniors in the year.
But their attitude towards Gu Cheng was very cordial, and even a little overly enthusiastic.
Gu Cheng was a little flattered, and hurriedly returned the salute with a half-bow.
"Head Shen, Director Zhou, and Zhang, hello teachers! Don't call me, just call me Xiao Gu! ”
After a simple pleasantries.
Gu Cheng took out the score of "Beauty Walking".
"Beauty Walk", which is widely circulated on the Internet, actually has two versions of the soundtrack.
The first to become popular in the short video was the dubbing of "Double-Faced Yan Xun", there is a paragraph in the middle of this song, which fits perfectly with the dance, and dances out of a different Tang Dynasty charm.
The style of the two pieces is different.
But in terms of word of mouth, it is naturally more atmospheric and more in line with the theme!
So Gu Cheng's original tune is naturally the original.
As for "Double-Sided Yan Xun", you can wait for the show to be broadcast, and then see if it should be put in a short video to attract traffic.
Gu Cheng handed the manuscript to Zhang Wei.
"Zhang Production, this is my manuscript, inspired by Du Fu's "Beauty Walk", please take a look at it from a few teachers."
His attitude was too casual, as if he was just handing over a plain blank piece of paper.
But as soon as the manuscript is started.
Zhang Wei knows the artistic level of this piece, how not simple!
He has been studying music arrangement for many years, especially traditional folk music and ancient music.
Traditional music has the charm and connotation of traditional Chinese classical culture, and pop music is the music culture of the new era, and its popularity among young people cannot be ignored.
This "Beauty Walk" uses traditional instruments such as the guzheng, and just looking at the stave, it gives people a sense of atmosphere and elegance like the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
But Zhang Wei can feel the sense of the times from the arrangement, which makes him very amazing!
"Gu Cheng, your work is really good!"
"There is no need to deliberately tear up such a work, just the essence of the culture contained in the song itself is enough to move the audience!"
"Thank you Zhang for the compliment!"
Gu Cheng looked at Shen Huaqing.
"Captain Shen, since there is nothing wrong with the score, can you record it now?"
Shen Huaqing nodded, "Zhang Wei, you went to find a few masters to help with the recording!" ”
Zhang Wei nodded, "I'll go now!" ”
"Good work!"
After the two left, Gu Cheng turned to look at Zhou Li.
Before coming, Zhong Qi was really worried about Gu Cheng's choreography level, so he asked Gu Cheng to learn more from the one in front of him.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard before I came that you are the youngest and most beautiful choreographer in our country, and you really live up to your reputation when I saw you today!"
Zhou Li was amused by Gu Cheng.
"You are young and promising, since you heard "The Goddess Splitting Views". I've always wanted to work with you, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity so soon! ”
Gu Cheng took the opportunity to say: "Teacher Zhou, although I have the movements of the whole dance in my mind, I haven't learned systematic choreography, so I will work hard for you to help guide me later!" ”
"Gu Cheng, you are too polite!"
Zhou Li smiled and nodded, "If there is anything you need help with, you just have to say it." ”
That's what Gu Cheng was waiting for.
"Teacher Zhou, I need a total of twelve dancers, including a lead dancer, because this is a Tang Dynasty style dance, so it is best for the members to have some classical dance skills."
"Then I will choose a team with strong dance skills for you from the classical dance team."
Zhou Li personally selected Wu Minzhi, the chief dancer of the theater, as the lead dancer, and selected 11 members with the best lower waist and round dance steps from nearly 100 classical dance troupe members.
A dance troupe of "Beauty Walking" was officially established.
Gu Cheng asked all the dancers to stand in a row.
He is actually two years younger than the youngest dancer on the stage.
But the leadership temperament exuded by Gu Cheng unconsciously made everyone awe-inspired!
Wait until everyone's expressions become serious.
Gu Chengcai raised his voice and said: "Art can be buried deep in the soil to bloom delicate flowers, or it can fly up to the nine heavens and pour torrential rain!" ”
""Beauty Walk" will be broadcast in more than 50 countries in the future, and your performances can be seen all over the world, so you represent not only individuals, but also the face of your Shaanxi ~ West Song and Dance Theater, as well as the dignity of the Chinese nation!"
"I don't expect you to be able to dance this dance perfectly overnight, but I want you to have the attitude that a professional dancer should have."
"Use your body language and your life's learning to show the audience the Chinese temperament and national soul, and highlight the strong history and heritage of our Chinese civilization!!"
"Can you do it?"
"Yes!"
Flip the passionate speech down.
On the faces of the girls, there is no longer the shyness and excitement of the past, and all that remains is passion and eagerness!
The next step is the formal learning.
In Gu Cheng's mind, he has the complete dance movements of "Beauty Walking", and he has strong dance skills.
The twelve girls are also the top dancers in the theater.
Once a professional dancer is moving, even his breathing has a rhythm.
Even if it was just when Gu Cheng was explaining the movements, they followed his movements casually, and their expressions were immediately different, the expressiveness, tension, and appeal were not comparable to amateurs at all!
Gu Cheng has extremely careful consideration of all dance moves, and he strives to perfect every dance move, without allowing for the slightest roughness.
If it doesn't work once, do it again.
Gu Cheng's meticulousness in dance, persistence and awe in art infected every dancer at the scene.
In addition, the girls also know that this opportunity is not easy to come by.
So everyone studied extra seriously!
With Gu Cheng's personal demonstration and explanation, as well as Zhou Li's assistance, the efficiency of the practice was faster than expected.
Wait until Zhang Yi records the tune.
The first exercise has officially begun.........
Morning bells and dusk drums!
After Su Qi finished filming the Bell Tower, Big Wild Goose Pagoda and other attractions alone, he came over with Zhong Qi to pick up Gu Cheng to shoot the Drum Tower.
When they arrived.
The dance of "Beauty Walk" is just the climax.
Ying Ying walked lightly and danced with grace.
Although they don't wear powder or fancy clothes, these graceful dancers, with the atmospheric soundtrack, raise their hands and feet with the arrogance and laziness of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
From a distance, it looks like a pottery figurine of ladies in the Tang Dynasty, and it looks like a lot of butterflies dancing.
A dance is over.
Zhong Qi couldn't help but applaud loudly.
"Good dance!"
Gu Cheng turned around and saw Su Qi with a smile on the corner of his mouth at a glance.
"Qiqi, Director Zhong, you're here!"
"We're here to pick you up and shoot the Drum Tower!"
"Then you wait for me for a few more minutes!"
Gu Cheng turned around and asked the dancers to assemble.
"You guys did a good job today, the dance moves are basically in place, but you still lack some charm in Shen Yun!"
"The texture is delicate and the flesh and bones are even, and the embroidered clothes shine in the twilight of spring!"
"If you want to truly interpret the graceful and luxurious life of the beauties of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the style of a sip and a smile, you can find inspiration from the Tang figurines and Tang Dynasty murals after you go back, and integrate them into every hand, waist, kick, and hip twist in the dance."
Finally, Gu Cheng looked at Zhou Li.
"Teacher Zhou, I'm going to shoot, and the rehearsal of the dance will be hard for you!"
Zhou Li nodded, "Don't worry about leaving it to me, I will definitely train them well!" ”
After leaving the theater.
As soon as he got into the car, a big palm beckoned to Gu Cheng's shoulder.
"Gu Cheng, it's really yours!"
Zhong Qi couldn't hold back his excitement any longer.
Originally, I heard Gu Cheng say that he had not systematically studied choreography, and Zhong Qi did not have much expectations before coming.
But he never thought that Gu Cheng would give him such a big surprise!
"This "Beauty Walk" is so good-looking, it will definitely be popular on the show!"
