Back to the Republic of China as a director

It took a while for the book to react, only to realize that Ji Shuangyu said something in foreign language...

This time, he was really caught off guard, he and Zhou Siyin were both a little dumbfounded, and even explained to the director, your explain is a bit sudden!

The book spoke nonsense for a while before saying: "I'm sorry, I'm so...director, have you ever stayed abroad?" Then he is really blind!

Ji Shuangyu calmly said: "No, I was self-taught." Don't say no, even if there is, now I can only say no, Ji Shuangyu in this time and space not only did not study abroad, but also never went to school.

At the moment, the waiters who work in Fancai restaurant may also learn foreign language. If they have no education, they can work hard enough. If they learn it, they can earn more money from foreigners. Zhou Siyin knew an illiterate shopkeeper who did it this way.

The book couldn't help but said: "But, your pronunciation is very good."

Ji Shuangyu sighed: "Maybe this is smart..."

The book blatantly said: "..."

Zhou Siyin remained silent. Even though Ji Shuangyu's explanation was plausible and his talent was unreasonable, he still felt strange, just like the feeling that Ji Shuangyu had given him since he met him, hair, temperament, conversation, ability, everything seemed to be different. It's as simple as it seems on the surface, even though he works in a theater troupe, he still has the audacity to run around pretending to be a hanged ghost...

What a strange person!

And the nonsense of the book is really curious.

Even the full-time film directors who are currently active in China are limited. After all, the development time is still very short. So far, no domestic film has surpassed the box office of imported films.

It is surprising that Ji Shuangyu has the courage to bring this system to the opera stage.Currently the box office is still very hot, I don't know how much he contributed to it.

Regardless of Ji Shuangyu's family background, how he learned foreign languages ​​has nothing to do with his level of director.Shu blatantly said that he read a report by an overseas director when he was studying abroad, to the effect that directors cannot be taught.

A work represents the aesthetics of the director. Even in some producer-centered countries, the role of the director is still indispensable.

Most people pay more attention to the actors when they watch a film, and writers like the nonsense in the book will pay more attention to the director.

Ji Shuangyu's current impression of Shu Yuyan is very novel and mysterious.

Shu Huayan originally came here with the mentality of finding fault, and he didn't know much about the play beforehand, but now his mentality has changed subtly.

He looked at Ji Shuangyu and said, "I've heard a saying that a drama should have a director's style, and a director should also have a movie-like temperament. Then, I'm looking forward to what kind of style Mr. Ji will have. Is it like this... funny."

"Show your ugliness." Ji Shuangyu said modestly, but her expression was very arrogant. She read the book and sneered, thinking that she is really a wonderful person.

"There is still a part of the play in the underworld, I just rushed, I'm going to wait in the backstage, and go up to play the hanged ghost." Ji Shuangyu wanted to leave.

Zhou Siyin stopped him, "Wait."

Ji Shuangyu looked at him solemnly: "?"

Zhou Siyin said seriously: "You are about to go on stage, how dare you say the word 'ghost'?"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

There are many taboos in troupes, and some words are not allowed to be spoken, especially before going on stage, such as ghost, umbrella, tower, etc., which must be replaced by other words.Like before, Xu Xinyue used the terms "hunzi" and "diaodiao" to refer to the hanged ghost.

Ji Shuangyu knew about this taboo, so he slipped out without paying attention at the moment. There is no way, this industry has almost the most cumbersome taboo rules in the whole society, and it is difficult for him to notice it all the time.

He said with a dry smile, "It's okay."

Zhou Siyin frowned and said, "Which deity is your class worshiping? You will have incense sticks when you go back." He was frightened by Ji Shuangyu before... he fell down, it was too harmful!

Ji Shuangyu was a little funny and said: "Backstage there are Patriarchs and Guan Gong, and there are also actors who privately make offerings to great immortals such as Hu Huangbai Liuhui and Wutongshen."

Many people in North China worship animal gods. Hu Huangbai Liuhui corresponds to foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes and mice. In places like opera troupes, many employees worship animal gods.

The Wutong God is also a kind of folk belief, because the "five" communicates with "wu", martial arts actors will sacrifice.

Ji Shuangyu thought, it was agreed that the current society advocates science and combats superstition?There are literati criticizing ghost dramas. Many people are more scientific than the investor father he met in the modern entertainment industry.

This Zhou Siyin also looks very arrogant and new. He has attended foreign schools and knows foreign languages. Kunlun Bookstore is good at introducing Western learning. Even the old man in their family is very open-minded. How can he be so superstitious?

No wonder I was so exaggerated by being frightened by Ji Shuangyu before. It turns out that I firmly believe in the theory of ghosts and gods...

What a strange person!

Ji Shuangyu looked at the book and said nonsense, trying to find some support: "Sir, you haven't stayed abroad, so you shouldn't believe it?"

Let me go, how could a fox become a fairy!

The book murmured in vain: "Don't you want to offer incense to Guan Gong? Then do you know God..."

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Okay, the minority is actually myself.

As expected of the era when demons danced wildly, there were everyone.And yes, the West is very religious.

"Okay, I'm going to burn incense. It's a bit exciting to wait for the underworld show, you two be careful." Ji Shuangyu quickly glanced at Zhou Siyin, and then slipped away after speaking.

Zhou Siyin: "..."

"Haha, okay, scare me to death." Shu Zheyan laughed silly for a while, and then saw Zhou Siyin's face was very bad, "Brother Baoduo, what's wrong?"

Zhou Siyin said angrily: "Go up! After reading it, go back and write the manuscript!"

……

The theater ticket for the book is the official seat, which is the best seat. It is on the second floor, which is equivalent to a modern box.

The two sat down with different moods and waited for the opening. Apart from them, there were more fans in this show.Right now, some fans in the arena are communicating.

"I came here every time, you don't know, Boss Ying has performed differently in almost every show recently!"

"I thought I was the only one who discovered it, and besides, there are no censors walking around to annoy people."

"If you want me to say, the singing voice that Yun Qing changed is also very amazing. The sad voice of 'Unbearable Autumn Qi is here' made me cry a lot. I have never seen anyone sing like this before, presumably It's a new idea, only this sentence, it's worth the money! Hard-lining (excellent supporting role)!"

Actors are not machines, and some actors will hang up on the spot and grab the burden temporarily from the off-set, but they are not bad in the end.

At this time, some famous actors sprinkled lime flour on the ground, and then performed footwork on it. After performing it once, they performed it a second time.The footprints left by the two times have the same number of steps and the same size.

And what this theater fan is talking about is the changes in Ying Xiaonong's singing skills, performance formula, and even the plot.

This kind of change is that Ji Shuangyu is directing the play on the spot. How much these actors can digest every day, they will let them meet the audience on stage.Ying Xiaonong is the protagonist, and his changes are more obvious.

Audiences who come to every show and know how to play can notice this difference. Once they notice it, they really want to watch it a few more times.

Just in time, the curtain on the stage has been lifted, and the performance begins.

The book pretended to be lying on the railing and staring at it, but he already found it interesting when the plot just started.

One is the use of lighting, which is so ingenious in shaping the plot and characters.

The second is exactly the details mentioned by fans in the previous episode. No one other than the actors walked around on the stage.

At this time, the stage was not so clean. The inspectors walked around moving tables, arranging props, and handing water to the actors. They were all on stage openly, and the audience had to consciously ignore them.But I also want to know how much this destroys the atmosphere and creates more drama.

But in today's "Lingguan Temple", there is absolutely no such situation.Even if there is a change, it is covered by various curtains and prop movement to prevent the audience from seeing it.

This is an old habit. Someone reformed it, and the audience cheered loudly.

Shu slapped his hands and laughed, "How did this director convince these inspectors and famous actors? Well, it's really refreshing to clear up this mess."

——Ji Shuangyu led the inspectors to control the mechanism, and taught them all the tricks, so that they even called master.These are skills that can be exchanged for food. With this kind of friendship, Ji Shuangyu just asked the other party not to openly walk around on the field. Can people not agree?

Afterwards, as the story unfolded, there was nothing more to say about the book's lies. He couldn't fault him!

A movie master once said that the dullness of a movie is killing people.

In fact, all art forms are like this. Modern people will feel very procrastinated when watching old movies.Even in the reform of opera in the future, redundant plots will be deleted.

Ji Shuangyu also drastically sorted out the plot, leaving the essence, and using one or two classic plots to shape the characters.

The time has been shortened a bit, but the whole story is more fun and impressive.Thanks to these actors, they can remember new ones during rehearsals. After all, they are all good at eating.

Therefore, not only can Shu Huayan not make any mistakes, he just thinks that the plot structure is smooth and delicate, which is refreshing that he has never seen before, and even some western short films have not such a good rhythm.

The succession and transition, the distribution of big and small climaxes, everything is appropriate, although it is a ghost show, there is no decadent feudal atmosphere!

The procrastination of the plot has been deleted, the mistakes and omissions have been made up, and even the thinking has advanced with the times.

For example, there was a scene before, where after a victim died, his wife confessed and then chose to commit suicide, which became a teardrop on stage in the past.

But in the new plot, the wife did not commit suicide, but vowed to defend her rights and challenge the gods. In the end, she did help Wang Lingguan with practical actions.The tears became hot blood for a moment.

The book can't help commenting: "Nowadays, there are a large number of enlightened people who fool the people with ghost plays and advocate banning the show. But this play is about ghosts and gods, but the show is about resistance and self-improvement. On the contrary, it can teach the illiterate audience invisible."

There is no stale atmosphere that he hates the most, and in some joints, the form is even more novel!

For example, there are several pilgrims in the Lingguan Temple. The lights first shine on the audience, and the pilgrims finish their performance first, then they remain silent.

"This method is good, bright and novel, and easy to understand!" Shu boasted, which greatly accelerated the rhythm on the stage.

Zhou Siyin also sighed and praised: "Montage."

"Montage..." Shu Huayan suddenly realized, "Ah... So it turns out that the film technique is brought to the stage, it really is that flavor!"

He couldn't help but slapped his thigh, it turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this!How could it be like this!

He didn't think of it at the first moment!

A multi-scene, although it is a live performance, it does use lighting switching to present a montage technique on the stage.

Montage is a classic film theory, but not every director can use it well. At least in the Chinese film industry, it hasn't been long since the monotonous technique of shooting to the end with a long shot.

Books and rumors also like to watch movies, and sometimes read foreign theoretical articles, can you learn from them in your own novels to enhance the sense of picture.When Zhou Siyin said it, he immediately realized it, and even thought it was wonderful. Everyone wanted to learn from movies and see how they dealt with it.

But the rest of the audience felt that it was a novelty and could understand it, but they didn't know that it was borrowed from Western movies.

As for the setting, not to mention, it was one of the keys to the success of the play.

The stage uses the scenery extremely well, and also skillfully uses all kinds of curtains, such as the front curtain, the bottom curtain, the gauze curtain, the butterfly curtain...especially the layers of curtains.

Here, many sets seem to be not just rigid objects, but also the passage of time, the intertwining of heaven and man, and the transformation of time and space is explained to the audience invisibly.

The technique of the whole play is very innovative, but not obtrusive, and the aesthetics of the scenery is full of classical elegance. It fits seamlessly with the opera, and it is harmonious and perfect, which makes the book praise again and again!

……

When the curtain was coming to an end, Zhou Siyin said something to buy some tea.

Shu Huayan was still immersed in the play, waved his hand casually, and didn't question why he didn't just ask the tea shop to deliver it.

Zhou Siyin walked into the courtyard. Residents of the capital loved planting flowers the most. No matter the princes or nobles or the common people, there were always flowers in the courtyard all the time. Here, there was a faint fragrance of wintersweet, which was refreshing.

Looking up through the flower branches, the night is too dark, half a frosty moon is hidden in the clouds, and the sky cannot be seen clearly, but you can hear the clear whistle of pigeons passing overhead, and the melodious flute from the whole street and the theater. The sounds are intertwined and very similar.

I don't know when it started to snow, Zhou Siyin raised his face, the snowflakes fell on his deep facial features, and melted instantly, he breathed out, as if with a touch of melancholy——

Oh shit!Oh shit!

The scene lighting in the underworld was really gloomy, he held back for a while, and hurried out to get some air.

At this time, something rubbed against Zhou Siyin's back, and when he turned his head inadvertently, he saw a tongue sticking out in front of him.

Zhou Siyin: "!!"

Chills down my spine!The hairs stand on end!

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a prop tongue.It was Ji Shuangyu and his prop tongue.

The man was playing with his tongue, throwing him on the back.

Zhou Siyin: "..."

At this moment, the audience is focused on watching the ending, and there is no one else in the yard.

Seeing Zhou Siyin hiding here, Ji Shuangyu came to say hello, and said suspiciously, "Mr. Zhou, are you scared?"

Zhou Siyin smiled freely: "Not afraid."

He stretched out his hand slowly, and precisely pinched Ji Shuangyu's long fake tongue that was still flicking with two fingers.

Inside: Crazy! !I'm mad! ! !

"Oh, aren't you afraid?" Ji Shuangyu raised her head back and pulled out her tongue, her tone was casual, and her expression looked like she didn't believe it at all.

Except for the tongue, his image is really like a cloud of smoke, brighter than the frosty moon.

It's a pity that he deliberately took off his hat at this time, and his white hair was exposed, and the light snow swirled in his hair, making the image even more inhuman...

Ji Shuangyu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, do you think it looks good... this play."

He was obviously not too close, but in an instant, the fragrance of wintersweet was far away, but the cold air of fine snow in his hair was closer.

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Seeing the image of Ji Shuangyu again, Zhou Siyin's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat.He suddenly thought of the sentence that the book said arbitrarily, drama represents the style of the director, and the director also has the temperament of the film.

Regardless of other things, this whole "Lingguan Temple" is indeed as unexpected and exciting as Ji Shuangyu...

It looks good again.
