The plot of "A Dream" is just like the Kunqu opera it wants to show, gentle and delicate, with a long charm.The movie screen is exquisitely laid out like a landscape painting, and the melodious singing voice sings three sighs. The "woman" on the stage sings softly, looking at herself with pity, and the picture turns quietly. The quietly blooming narcissus quietly appeared in the camera.

Even though there is a gap between Eastern and Western cultural barriers, the interpretation of beauty that the director wants to convey to the audience is clearly and unmistakably conveyed to everyone through visual shock.

The camera moves up slowly, from the stage to the emerald eaves, the sky seems to have just rained, a drop of water falls from the eaves, ripples on the edge of the stage, and through the Shuizhuer, you can vaguely see the graceful and swaying figure of the "woman" on the stage throwing her sleeves lightly.

As if the picture was reflected in the water, it was gently rippling, restlessly shaking, and slowly transformed into a pair of trembling eyelids.At that second, the owner of the eyes opened his eyes, and the dazzling sunlight poured in from the glass window. The camera scanned the surroundings from the perspective of the owner of the eyes. It was a very ordinary university dormitory.

The eyes of the film critics who were watching the movie under the stage immediately understood the purpose of director Cheng Yige in arranging this scene——

The daffodil, which means "narcissism", is like a dream that can be broken at the touch of a rippling water.At the beginning of the film, director Cheng Yige interpreted the theme of the whole film with poetic and dreamy lens language.

"See the truth in the subtleties." Tom, a reporter and film critic from Hollywood's "Visual and Special Effects" magazine, wrote quietly in his notebook.

Because of this set of breathtakingly beautiful shots, this reporter and film critic who traveled across the ocean suddenly had the desire to watch movies.

Obviously, many people in the screening hall think so—whether or not everyone has gloating "maliciousness" towards Chen Mo and the movie "Dream", in essence, they all really care about the movie professional.

Any professional with professional ethics and self-cultivation can't help but devote all his attention when he sees a movie scene worth tasting.

On the big screen, Zhao Mengrui, who played the leading role, had already crawled off the bed rubbing her eyes. She was wearing a pure white dress and pajamas, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her dark eyes were as black as ink. With a smile, she opened the window, and the bright sunlight poured down along the mottled branches and leaves, casting a layer of dazzling gold around her.A breeze blew by, and the long hair fluttered with the wind. In front of the soft light lens, there was a shocking pure literary beauty.

I have to say that no matter how stupid Zhao Mengrui is, she has a really good face.Especially under the painstaking training of director Cheng Yige, the scene where she bowed her head and smiled and pulled her hair behind her ears with her hands was absolutely beautiful.

Most is the gentleness of the bow, just like the shyness of the water lotus invincible in the cool wind.

The pure beauty with the shyness of a daughter directly makes people's eyes shine.Even the film critics who claim to have read countless people in the entertainment circle can't help sighing at this moment.

In the picture, Meng Xiangxiang, who was driven out of the practice room by several classmates, walked alone on the street of Liulichang.The blue bricks and ink tiles, the carved beams and painted buildings, and even the pedestrians walking on the street are painted with a strong color by the camera. The peddlers along the street and the "antiques" on the stalls are deliberately old, and the color contrast with obvious Chinese style makes people It is easy for people to feel the ancient customs that still exist in the endless stream of high-rise buildings.

Meng Xiangxiang, who was wandering aimlessly in Liulichang, finally valued a set of Diancui noodles placed in the corner. She bargained with the hawker, and finally spent most of her savings to buy this set.

This is where the real story unfolds.

A senior film critic glanced at his watch, only to find that the entire film was broadcast for about 10 minutes. Although the opening, theme, and foreshadowing are a literary film, the narrative rhythm is so rigorous.

No wonder it gives people an unusual smoothness, without any sense of procrastination.

Everything is so just right.

On the big screen, the heroine Meng Xiangxiang wore a Diancui mask for the first time, and sang an excerpt from "A Dream in the Garden" from "The Peony Pavilion" in the practice room.

It is also the scene that Chen Mo performed on the stage at the beginning of the film.

However, compared to Chen Mo's full-bodied charm, Meng Xiangxiang's singing voice is much jerky. Even with the post-editing efforts to make up for it, the stark contrast between pearls and fish eyes still made the film critics in the screening hall frowned subconsciously.Just like diners who have just tasted the eight treasures of sea and land, they will never be moved by a bowl of clear porridge.

It just feels bland and tasteless.

Reminiscent of the turmoil before and after Zhao Mengrui quit the film crew, many people nodded consciously.

If Zhao Mengrui's performance is still the same, no wonder director Cheng Yige would rather kick people out than compromise.

Although the vase is beautiful, if it affects the coordination of the whole picture, it is not a pity to discard it.

On the big screen, the plot has progressed to the scene where Meng Xiangxiang keeps falling asleep.An actor in a white satin jacket sang "A Dream in the Garden" on the old stage, with white gauze dancing in the wind, and everyone noticed that the stage was the stage that appeared at the beginning of the film.

It's just a prosperity and a decline, it's like washing away the makeup and leaving behind a sigh.

Most of all, the human world can't keep it, the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water turn their heads empty.

The strong contrast not only makes the viewer curious, wanting to know what happened to the actor.

In addition, as expected by many film critics, in the following plot, Zhao Mengrui's performance is the same as before, the plot of the literary and opera dialogue is better, only when she is acting in appearance, her singing is really unsatisfactory-the singing is not good. It's better, and it can be made up for in the later stage, but the demeanor and body movements are really tasteless.

Fortunately, Zhao Mengrui didn't have too many shots. From the moment he fell asleep, Cheng Yige focused most of the shots on Chen Mo.

The camera also slowly digs out the life of actor Meng Liansheng from the perspective of a bystander.

He studied opera since he was a child and only knew how to sing. The young Mu Ai fell in love with Du Liniang who was dressed by himself. He wanted to stay with him for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, his wish failed. Someone fell in love with his skin.Desperate, Meng Lian had no choice but to commit suicide by taking poison. Before she died, she disguised herself as Du Liniang, sang "A Dream in the Garden" on the stage, and died of poison.Just like Narcissus in Greek mythology, he was born because of drama and died because of drama.

It is an absolutely pure and infatuated soul from birth to death, which not only attracts people from thousands of years ago, but also attracts the heroine Meng Xiangxiang.

She realized that she fell in love with Meng Liansheng. She pretended to be Du Liniang, imitating Meng Liansheng's figure and singing in the practice room over and over again.But for some reason, as her movements became more mellow and her singing became older and more beautiful, her appearance became more and more similar to that of Meng Liansheng.

Until one day, the two became completely one person.

The film critics sitting in the screening hall were very surprised to find that in the practice room, Meng Xiangxiang, played by Du Liniang, and Meng Liansheng, played by Chen Mo, also sang "A Dream in the Garden". As the movements of the two became more and more similar, the two pairs The water sleeves were constantly entangled, and Meng Xiangxiang's outline gradually changed into that of Meng Liansheng.

The exquisite post-production special effects combined with the plot of this episode make people feel a little bit of creepiness.In the lingering melody of the silk, bamboo, and flute, the figures of the two slowly merged into one.At the moment of complete integration, the door of the practice room was suddenly kicked open, and a group of girls aggressively walked into the camera to criticize Meng Xiangxiang's behavior of occupying the practice room every day, thinking that Meng Xiangxiang's actions delayed everyone's time. In the opera competition, everyone unanimously decided to expel Meng Xiangxiang.

Meng Xiangxiang, who has always been easy to talk to, expressed her persistence very rarely. She would rather die than leave this practice room.The two sides therefore disputed.

While pushing and shoving, the Diancui headdress on Meng Xiangxiang's head suddenly fell to the ground, and pearl flowers scattered in all directions.

Meng Xiangxiang, who had always been silent and cowardly, suddenly seemed to be a different person. She fought with several female classmates as if she had gone crazy, and even grabbed the neck of the female classmate who broke her Diancui headdress.

Meng Xiangxiang's attitude made everyone feel scared, and someone ran out in a hurry to call the teacher.

The female student who was strangled by Meng Xiangxiang passed out, everyone hurriedly pulled Meng Xiangxiang away and sent the female student to the school infirmary.

Afterwards, both Meng Xiangxiang and the female students involved in the fight were severely criticized by the school.However, considering Meng Xiangxiang's growing singing and stature, the school still signed up Meng Xiangxiang to participate in the campus opera competition, and the selection for the competition happened to be "A Dream in the Garden".

In order to prepare for the competition, Meng Xiangxiang spent more time in the practice room.

Meng Liansheng, played by Chen Mo, always accompanied Meng Xiangxiang in operas at the very beginning, and finally became one with Meng Xiangxiang.As Meng Xiangxiang practiced for longer and longer, the time Meng Liansheng "attached" to Meng Xiangxiang's soul became longer and longer.

Until the day of the campus opera competition, when Meng Xiangxiang woke up from his dream, Meng Liansheng's face was reflected in the mirror.

Meng Liansheng looked at the mirror and took a picture. He picked up the eyebrow pencil on the dressing table to draw his eyebrows quietly. Looking at Du Liniang in the mirror, he slowly made up his face. die, the dead may live."

The lingering sound of the chanting lingered around the beam, like a silk thread fluttering around the apex of the heart.It is also like sandalwood curling up and hovering upwards, finally filling the room with Buddha fragrance.

Meng Liansheng, who was sitting on the dressing table, smiled at Du Liniang in the mirror, and the voice-over suddenly sounded the host's announcement.

When the screen turned, it was Meng Xiangxiang, played by Zhao Mengrui, smiling gently at Meng Liansheng under the camphor tree. The dazzling sunlight shone through the lush branches and leaves to cast mottled images. The backstage channel goes straight to the stage.

The spotlight is like the stars in the sky, and the little actor who has been in the millennium sings softly in front of the full audience——

"It turns out that the colorful blooms are all over the ruins. What a beautiful day..."

Naturally, the day's performance was extremely successful and sensational.When quality education is superficial, most of the ancient skills have become perfunctory and superficial, and they can’t resist the impetuous temptation of the spotlight. There are students from the School of Chinese Opera who interpret the song "A Dream in the Garden" so amazingly. Stunning, not to mention the praise of the school leaders in the audience, even many spectators were also amazed by Du Liniang on the stage.The loud applause was merged with the guest officials who cheered for Meng Liansheng thousands of years ago.

At the end of the song, Meng Liansheng, who quietly took the curtain call, forgot all the hustle and bustle. He passed the host who announced the curtain with a calm face, walked through the long dark backstage corridor, walked out of the school performance building, and walked into the night.

The night wind blows, and the moonlight hangs upside down in the sky, but the street lamps on both sides are brighter than the moonlight.

Meng Liansheng walked along the road full of camphor trees, walked through every place he and Meng Xiangxiang walked together, and finally came to the artificial lake of the school.

The night was waning and the moon was bright and clear in the lake. Meng Liansheng lowered his head and saw Du Liniang's delicate face in the ripples of the lake. He smiled slightly and leaned forward lightly, wanting to kiss Du Liniang's red lips.

There was only a splash, and ripples rippled on the surface of the lake.The moonlight in the sky is bright and clear, and the night is quieter.

A burst of weeping and sobbing silk and bamboo orchestral sounds faintly lingering in my ears, the light and color are soft, and in the picturesque and poetic space, "A Dream in the Garden" is as ethereal as light smoke. .

"...It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming everywhere, and it seems that they are all paid for by the wreckage of the broken wall. What is the sky for the beautiful scenery on a good day, who's house is the place to enjoy the pleasure. Flying in the morning and evening, the clouds and green pavilions, the rain and the wind, and the smoke and waves painting the boat. Jinping. People really look at Shaoguang cheap..."
