Mu Mu and Liu Yufei have both graduated for two years, although they usually have the habit of exercising basic skills, but the degree is much worse.

Ballet is very harsh on the actors, and if you don't practice for three days, your level will drop, and if you don't practice your legs for a week, you will be bored, and your skills will not be in place, and you may have problems on stage.

These days, both of them are recovering from training at high intensity, even if they are cooperating with other work in Lotus Hutong, and they find a place to stretch and kick their legs whenever they are free.

In order to avoid injury, and because the skills and movements required the cooperation of the venue, Su Changqing hurriedly vacated a big house, and hurriedly laid the log floor and floor glue overnight to practice for them.

"From now on, this will be the gym for the two of you, and I'll have them convert the next door into a special changing and shower room, and make another room for the lounge if needed. ”

There are more and more houses in Su Changqing, not to mention decorating one or two training rooms, even if you have a yard.

Liu Yufei looked at the new practice room and couldn't help but admire: "Brother, you look so handsome with so much money, no wonder you have to buy so many yards, otherwise you can do whatever you want." ”

The domestic housing reform has entered the final stage, and Beijing, like Tokyo, will usher in a wave of housing price rises after the next Asian financial crisis.

Lotus Hutong in Xicheng District is already the best location, and in the past two years, people have been selling houses and moving out, so he has continued to choose the right place to start, including the earliest No. 16, which currently has eight yards, and each subsidiary has a separate office and a surplus.

Du Keke didn't understand his evil and greedy move of constantly acquiring the courtyard, and Su Changqing didn't explain much.

Just like when it was time for the catastrophe, at the end of 96, Du's father planned to sell his courtyard house and live in a building to enjoy the life with a flush toilet.

After Su Changqing found out, he specially called back from Tokyo to dissuade him, and then started from the trend of housing prices in major metropolises around the world in recent decades, and talked about the GDP growth rate in China for more than ten years.

Su Changqing was very pleased, when he went to Beijing to start a business and lived in the Du family for a few months, this can be regarded as repaying the kindness of parenting.

Unexpectedly, less than half a month later, Du's father played a blitzkrieg of the Führer, suddenly sold the courtyard house like a raid on Poland, and moved into the hardcover building with his bag before the New Year, very happy.

Across thousands of rivers and mountains, Su Changqing could only sigh with admiration, and Du Keke was helpless: "Actually, I have the money to buy a house for them, but the old man and the yard are on the bar, and it seems that he has to sell it, and I have no tricks." ”

The courtyard house was sold, and after the year, Du Keke had to go to the lotus alley to work, and she was used to working while walking around in the courtyard.

Su Changqing simply arranged a room for her, living next to Chen Jin, and lived as much as she liked.

In fact, you can pick a good one and buy it back after selling, Du Keke has also made a lot of money in recent years, but he refused: "I was born to live in a courtyard, I poured the toilet for 20 years, and I learned to control my diet and adjust the toilet time since I was a child. ”

The courtyard house bought by Su Changqing has been renovated with a sewer system, and it is completely possible to install a flush toilet, I don't know why Dad Du didn't change it.

In this case, Su Changqing has no recruitment, and can only say that everyone has their own lives.

Before filming started, Mu Mu and Liu Yufei took Su Changqing to several places with dance rehearsal halls to find suitable shooting spots.

The two suggested at the beginning that Su Changqing should choose their alma mater, Beijing Dance Academy, and there should be no better rehearsal hall in Beijing.

And it will be more convenient to choose the rehearsal hall of Northern Dance, this movie requires a large number of dance group performances, just to invite students of Northern Dance.

But Beijing is so big, the two girls don't have to worry about themselves, so Su Changqing didn't give up and wanted to look around.

There are not many scenes in "Black Swan", the rehearsal hall and the heroine's home occupy most of the time, he hopes to find a venue with a stronger historical charm, the North Dance is too new, and it is too big, it looks like a school.

The three of them spent most of the day running this matter.

Su Changqing was soon disappointed, no matter what kind of dance the formal training time in China is very short, and the economic situation is not very good for more than 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the money spent on this is limited, and he is not satisfied with a few places, and the so-called training halls are very simple and featureless.

In fact, Mu Mu said more than once on the road: "No one danced ballet before liberation, how can this art be raised in years of war, there can be no antique training hall in China, and it is almost the same to go to Europe to find it." ”

Su Changqing didn't give up, and in the end, he still chose the Northern Dance, but it was not the ones that students usually use.

Beiwu cooperated with Su Changqing and jointly cultivated Mu Mu, of course, he supported the filming of a film about ballet in the school, so he specially opened a rehearsal hall built under the guidance of the Soviet Union for more than five years.

The Northern Dance itself was established in the mid-fifties during the honeymoon period of the Soviet Union, and the personnel were also trained by them, and it is the only professional ballet academy in China, and its strength is very strong, and the Central Ballet and the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe are separated from this school.

The old rehearsal hall has been abandoned for more than ten years, about 100 square meters, lighting and ventilation are very professional, as long as the ground is cleaned and repaired, it can basically be put into use.

Su Changqing is very satisfied with the place, especially the wood carvings on the door frames, wall skirts, and window lattices, which are very contemporary and a little exotic.

Liu Yufei was helpless about his disobedience: "If you don't listen to what Mu Mu and I say, you have to run around for a long time, now it's best not to show that you are very satisfied, which makes people look angry." ”

"Actually, I also know that the best may be in your school, and it's convenient to shoot here, so I ran something else first, and I was very satisfied because of the comparison. ”

Mu Mu always looked at Su Changqing: "This is called saving hope to the end." ”

After negotiating cooperation with Beiwu, the art team immediately entered and began to renovate, and some extended decorations were also carried out under the principle of repairing the old as the old, making it as gorgeous and aristocratic as possible.

Ballet is not a civilian art, it is best to force the character to get higher, not to mention this is a competition film, don't let Europeans think that the ballet played by the Chinese is shabby, and the painting of tigers is not an anti-dog.

What's more, this is an art film, not a social reality film, and he won't even pretend to be forced to engage in fart art.

Japan and South Korea have done a lot in this regard, and there are very few dirty and sloppy images in their film and television works, and the environment is also as beautiful and clean as possible.

Especially in South Korea, the cultural department took the lead in doing this, and carried out image review of the pictures of film and television works, and the most excessive time was that the whole drama was full of brand-new clothes, regardless of whether men and women, old and young, rich or poor, and the cultural export greatly strengthened the audience's impression, thinking that South Korea has been a rich country and a strong country since ancient times.

The so-called truth is not as important as thought, and most people can't remember what happened ten years ago, and who cares that South Korea was as poor as a ghost before.

The narrative is very important, what everyone believes in is the truth, and all directors believe in this, otherwise they will make a fart movie.

The domestic work in this regard has been very poor, until the post-20 people's sense of dignity spontaneously awakened, and to a very high level, those directors who exploited loopholes no longer dared to rely on scandalizing the image of Chinese people to win international awards.

Taking advantage of the four-day renovation of the rehearsal hall, Su Changqing selected more than 20 dance group performances, all of which were senior students.

When Mu Mu became famous, these classmates were still freshmen and sophomores, and they were very happy to be selected by Su Changqing's new film, as if they had won the grand prize.

The main scenes of "Black Swan" are focused on Mu Mu and Liu Yufei, and there are only two supporting roles, one is the artistic director of the dance company, and the other is the mother of the heroine.

The heroine's mother is easier to find, there are many serious-looking middle-aged actresses in China, and in the end, Su Changqing chose Lu Zhong, who is a human artist.

The art director needs to be a middle-aged handsome guy, and he has to be the kind of person who danced when he was young at a glance, and his temperament and appearance cannot be sloppy.

Su Changqing knows that there is no such passer-by among professional actors, and all domestic actors don't seem to like sports, so it is best to choose a suitable one among the teachers of Beijing Dance.

There are nearly 100 middle-aged male teachers in Beiwu, and in the end, Su Changqing chose Bian Qianshan.

Bian Qianshan is an ethnic minority, used to be the pillar of the National Ballet of China, retired to become a teacher, and his temperament and image are very good.

In this way, the venue and actors are all in place, and Mu Mu, Liu Yufei and their alumni will concentrate on training for a few days for the dance drama "Swan Lake", and as long as the state meets the conditions, filming can start at any time.
