The trainee starts by splitting bricks with bare hands

There is actually a big difference between "The Wind in the Rice Field" and "The Fragrance of Rice". The former has a refreshing feeling of bathing in the spring breeze next to the rice field in summer, while the latter sounds a little warmer.

Although Han Lan did not say that this song was influenced by his "Wind in the Paddy Field", he believed that it was somewhat influenced.

After all, he has been using this song as a demonstration to teach Han Lan to compose.

"Hahaha... Ruzi can be taught, Ruzi can be taught."

……

……

"Not bad, a child can be taught!" Han Lan clapped with satisfaction, looking at the performance of the seven trainees in front of her with a sense of accomplishment.

It was not in vain that he worked so hard to stay up all night trying to think of a song, and came up with such a usable ancient song——

"Silk Play"

Ancient songs were originally a small genre, and after such a long time, Han Lan struggled to think of them.

Of course, Tang Shian's contribution cannot be ruled out.

I have been studying composition with Tang Shi'an for more than half a year. Although the independent composition is not up to standard, it is quite effective for enlightening memory and repairing the incomplete melody in memory.

Coupled with the professional behind-the-scenes team formed by the company for the boy group "Xia", the arrangement of the whole song was quickly completed.

And the seven trainees of the new girl group "Xuan Ji" who are preparing to make their debut did not waste so long practicing. Their singing skills are still online. After Han Lan gave some simple pointers, a song was recorded, and it can be added after the post-production is completed. Dancing, and filming v.

"Dance teacher, is the choreography finished?"

"Han Shuai is finished."

"Transfer to the practice room, come and let me have a look." Han Lan clapped her hands, and the seven of Xuan Ji hurriedly followed to the practice room as soon as they came out of the recording studio.

At present, Han Lan basically has no control over the specific operations of Tomahawk Entertainment, but he still has a lot of say when it comes to artists.

Whether it's his own coffee position or the boy band "Xia" who helped him become popular before, he has accumulated enough prestige for him.

This time, the debut of the girl group "Xuan Ji" is also led by him, and the relevant departments are all running around him.

When she came to the practice room, Han Lan didn't have too many scruples, and sat down on the ground cross-legged.

The seven trainees naturally laughed and sat down next to him.

The three dance teachers formed a triangle in front of the mirror, and began to dance to the rhythm as Han Lan played the music.

The dance teachers hired by Tomahawk Entertainment have all learned classical dance, and they are also proficient in modern dance, so they can perform with ease when choreographing.

After all, it is a girl group, if it is pure classical dance, it will definitely not work, it is too small; but if it is based on modern dance, especially popular dance in the style of kr country, it is very inconsistent with the song and their positioning.

Therefore, how to find a balance between classical and popular is the biggest difficulty for choreographers.

The dance of this song has actually been edited several times before, but Han Lan is not very satisfied, and has been asking them to modify it.

As of today, it has basically taken shape.

Watching the demonstrations of the three dance teachers, Han Lan finally nodded. Based on the elegance of classical dance, he also incorporated some sense of jazz rhythm. Elements of mechanical dance.

At least in his opinion, it matches the song very well. When the time comes, let Xuan Ji change into a custom-made and improved Hanfu dance, and the effect should be good.

"Very good, this is the version, thank you teachers."

Han Lan smiled and applauded, and bowed slightly, and the trainees on the left and right naturally followed suit and bowed to express their gratitude.

Everyone was very excited, whether it was music or dancing, the quality was online, and they all liked it.Of course, what excites them the most is their debut!

"How is the preparation of the v crew? Have you got in touch with the puppet troupe in Licheng?" Han Lan asked again.

"Han Shuai, the puppet troupe has been contacted, but the crew... e, basically have enough, but the director... Director Zhao scolded you for being weak, he said that he is a director of the Spring Festival Gala, how could he be the director of v for you... "Fang Qiaorui said awkwardly.

Han Lan also smiled helplessly, he was indeed negligent.At that time, I thought of shooting a costume v for Xuan Ji, but the company's directors are busy now, so they thought of Zhao Chengwen as soon as they patted their heads, and asked Fang Qiaorui to contact her directly.

It is estimated that when Zhao Chengwen received the call, he thought it was a costume film planned by Tomahawk Entertainment, and he was going to direct it.

Hearing that it is a v, I am definitely not happy.

"However, Han Shuai, Director Zhao recommended his student to us. He said that he may not be qualified for making movies, but it is still no problem for making V."

"Oh? That's fine, he's the only one. Hurry up and get the crew together and shoot the v." Han Lan had no objection when she heard that he was Zhao Chengwen's apprentice.

Since Zhao Chengwen dared to recommend it, his professional skills must have passed the test, otherwise he would lose face as a great director.

"Yes!" Fang Qiaorui replied, and hurriedly ran out to contact the director.

……

……

Wang Shenzhi, a graduate of Yanying Directing Department, was born in a serious class.

When I was a junior, I met director Zhao Chengwen because of a lecture at school and fell in love with him. After graduation, I also signed into director Zhao Chengwen's studio, and continued to study while filming with him.It is considered to be the last student that Zhao Chengwen has personally led, and he can be regarded as his closed disciple.

Zhao Chengwen is also getting old, and he doesn't have the energy to lead the students by hand. This is the last one.

In fact, Wang Shenzhi is not an unknown newcomer director. He has already graduated from the school, has directed movies, and won the Best Newcomer Director at the College Student Film Festival. He is considered a little famous.

In these years, he mainly joined Zhao Chengwen's crew as an assistant director, and he also shot some annual blockbusters. In addition, he also took over the public service advertisements of ys TV station.Obviously, Zhao Chengwen was leading him to improve his qualifications, deliberately suppressing him in the hope that he could accumulate a lot of money, and let him make a movie by himself after he has accumulated enough experience and qualifications, and become famous in one fell swoop.

And this time, V from Tomahawk Entertainment was not for gaining experience and qualifications, but because Zhao Chengwen himself didn't want to come and shoot, so he sent him over.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After the v crew was set up, the group set off for Licheng.

The silk-drawing opera sung in "The Silk-drawing Opera" is actually a very ancient puppet opera in our country - the string puppet show.

According to legend, the marionette show originated in 180 BC, and involved a famous historical figure—Liu Bang, Liu Rong's self-identified ancestor.

At that time, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was besieged in Baideng City. His military adviser Chen Ping made a plan to make a human figure out of wood to attract attention at the east, west and south gates. Attracting the past, only the north gate is empty and undefended.Therefore, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty escaped smoothly from the North Gate, and there was a saying among the people that "Master Chen Ping was a puppet, and the Han ordered the world to protect all people".

However, marionette theater, like other traditional cultures, has declined after thousands of years.

At present, Licheng is the only puppet show in China that is well preserved.

Founded in 1952, the Licheng Puppet Troupe has performed all over the country, and even performed overseas several times, and has won many awards at home and abroad.At first glance, it seems quite beautiful, but in fact, how many young people in China know this troupe?How many people know about the marionette show?

The Licheng Puppet Troupe is now in the same predicament as other inheritors of intangible heritage—no successor.

With the development of the times, the enrichment of people's cultural life and the change of aesthetic taste, fewer and fewer people watch the marionette show.Due to the shrinking of the audience, the Licheng Puppet Troupe has experienced poor economic returns in the past 10 years, and the number of performances has become less and less. It is becoming more and more difficult to find people who are willing to learn this craft. The age structure of marionette actors has broken down. .
