Chapter 226: Too Beautiful to Human
Bian Qianshan has been directly responsible for the rehearsal of the "Swan Lake" fragment in the past few days, and has become a veritable artistic director.
He said to Su Changqing: "If necessary, in fact, we can really complete the performance of this dance drama." β
That's right, the lineup is neat, and connoisseurs will know at a glance that it is not a fool's errand.
Su Changqing is not an expert, although he asked Mu Mu and Liu Yufei for some common sense in order to shoot ballet well, and also consulted the information, but his understanding is still relatively rudimentary, after all, he has little contact.
He didn't have a lot of exposure to ballet.
In fact, aside from descriptions such as elegance and nobility, or professional words such as rigidity and softness, and softness, it is also very pleasant to simply appreciate the beauty of the body and posture.
Anyway, every time she saw Mu Mu and Liu Yufei wearing snow-white TUTU skirt makeup rehearsals, Su Changqing felt that they were as beautiful as elves, not like people.
The rehearsals in the past few days have also been a buffer for him, and after a lot of observation with the royal photographer Leo, he modified some of the early lens angle settings to make the picture as beautiful and unique as possible.
Leo and Su Changqing filmed "The Undertaker" in Japan for more than two months, and they were also slightly aware of what he was doing, and said something in his words: "Our girl is still beautiful, right?"
"You're the photographer and you have the most voice. β
Mu Mu said that the domestic people's understanding of ballet is actually more than that of many European and American countries, at least a considerable number of people can name Swan Lake, Four Little Swans and other titles, which is inseparable from the good relationship with Big Brother back then, after all, Russia has been leading the ballet for many years, which has greatly affected the country.
In particular, Swan Lake, created by the Russians, was the first ballet performed by a Chinese artist under the guidance of Soviet specialists, and became a repertoire of the National Ballet of China, which has been performed all over the country for many years.
In addition, in the nineties, there was a dispute between elegance and vulgarity in the field of culture that lasted for several years, and elegance culture had the upper hand in public opinion, but it was popular culture that silently occupied the market.
As for why the domestic people especially love the four little swans, Su Changqing's understanding is neat, after all, we are a nation with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the movements of the four beauties with straight thighs are exactly the same, and they are comfortable to look at.
In fact, most people don't know the plot of "Swan Lake", this Russian dance drama created by Tchaikovsky has only four acts, adapted from a fairy tale, and the plot is closely related to "Black Swan".
This is the story of a prince and princess who is transformed into a white swan by a demon on the shore of Swan Lake, a swan by day and a human form at night.
Sounds like a park where people pretend to be swans to trick tourists.
One evening the prince went hunting at Swan Lake.
So the prince originally planned to eat stewed goose in an iron pot.
The prince took his big gun and aimed it at the firing when the princess suddenly regained her human form, and the two of them chatted.
After learning about the princess's misfortunes, the prince fell in love with her.
The speed of this flying pickle girl is much faster than that of Takeshi Kitano, and people eat at least three meals, and the prince directly soaked his own food.
On the night when the prince chooses the bride, the devil makes his daughter Black Swan disguise herself as a princess to deceive the prince and try to make a trick to drop the bag.
I don't know how this demon got mixed up, maybe the level is low, and he actually wants to use his daughter to cling to the powerful.
The prince is not a fool, and finally discovers and fights in time to kill the demon, and the white swan regains his original form as a princess and happily marries the prince.
After all, it is a fairy tale, a child's bedtime story, simple and naΓ―ve, but very beautiful.
The role that Mu Mu will play is that one person plays the white swan and the black swan in the dance drama, not only to perform the innocence and elegance of the white swan, but also to perform the deceit and lewdness of the black swan, and finally embark on the road of blackening.
And Liu Yufei, as her fantasy competitor, fell in love with her and killed her, like a mental struggle.
ββββββ
If the prince is compared to desire, then this is a story of a black swan replacing a white swan.
In the end, Mu Mu wanted to kill the competitor, so he stabbed Liu Yufei, but he actually stabbed himself, and finally completed the dance drama with his injuries.
"Black Swan" is a very test of acting skills, most of the scenes are pressed on Mu Mu and Liu Yufei, Su Changqing recommended them to watch a few European and American thrillers that are more successful in portraying mental problems, the more they watch it, the more they lose their score, and their previous confidence is swept away.
"I've only acted in idol dramas before, but now it's too difficult to play this, and I'm so confused that I can't find the north. β
"Brother, you seem to have forgotten that I haven't acted, and it's so difficult to come up?"
"Yes, Yu Fei has never acted, you compete for the Venice Golden Lion with one mouth, this really roasts us. β
It's understandable to be afraid of difficulties, who doesn't want to do something easy to achieve fame and fortune.
"Dragon Babu" was originally planned to start filming at the end of March, but now Mu Mu and Liu Yufei have other arrangements, Du Keke adjusted the filming plan and filmed other scenes first, but it also affected the schedule.
For Mu Mu and Liu Yufei, filming "Dragon Babu" is undoubtedly much easier, and the salary is not cheap.
The key is that the responsibility of filming "Black Swan" is too great, and the whole drama will be ruined if the whole drama is smashed, Su Changqing has just won the award in Berlin, and no one wants to be a villain who pours cold water on his head.
Especially Mu Mu, who is not from a professional acting background, understands in his heart that success is to eat the appearance bonus and Su Changqing's role creation, and he is very worried that he will not be able to do "Black Swan".
It's already half the sky, so why bother?
Su Changqing persuaded them in a few words: "You two don't want to act, so who are you going to take over?"
"If you really don't want to act, you are most familiar with the place of Northern Dance, help me pick two students who are particularly good-looking and can act, this is not difficult, right?"
"They all say that the level is not enough to be competent, is it a turn of the corner that I am blind and can't pick actors?"
Mu Mu didn't dare to answer, and continued to watch the film honestly.
Liu Yufei told the truth about her concerns: "I'm worried that you will reluctantly start a play for us, everyone can see that this is tailor-made, in case it messes up and affects your reputation for the rest of your life." β
Reluctant things are the most likely to go wrong, Liu Yufei may understand that Su Changqing feels guilty about Mu Mu, so when she comes back from Japan, she will open a movie for her, and she will also hit international awards.
Even if this is true, Su Changqing is confident that he will shoot this drama well.
In fact, the acting class of Beijing Dance is still very solid, otherwise there would not be a lot of stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Yao Chen, Liu Shishi, Huang Xuan, Li Xiaoran, Song Qian, Qiao Zhenyu, Wang Likun and so on.
chatting with Bian Qianshan on weekdays, he also said that ballet is not just about dancing, the difficulty of plot performance is no less than that of film and television, and the actors have to face the double test of acting and dance skills at the same time, and the body language must match the expression in place, otherwise it will be a complete failure.
After two years of contact, Su Changqing is very clear about Mu Mu and Liu Yufei's acting ability, as long as he has patience to polish it, it is possible to win an acting award.
After all, this is a very potential character, and Natalie Portman won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for this film.
On March 25, Su Changqing set up the lights, laid the guide rails, and filmed a scene of the dancers' rehearsal.
"We had to shoot and produce it in four months. β
