Back to the Republic of China as a director

Changle Theater.

Xu Xinyue's hands were shaking, and she could hardly hold the teacup. He couldn't imagine that in broad daylight, there would be such a tragic and inhuman thing in the world.

For such an outrageous matter, he doesn't ask the sky or ghosts and gods, he can only ask the person standing in front of him, and with his broken voice——

"You, do you really want a raise?"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Yu Jianqing: "..."

Ji Shuangyu said in disbelief, "Boss, did you hear those words?"

Xu Xinyue covered her face with trembling hands, and said sadly, "Otherwise."

Yu Jianqing was puzzled and said, "It's only 800 yuan, so what?"

Xu Xinyue also looked at him in confusion, "Is there such a perverted person in the world?"

Yu Jianqing: "..."

Ying Xiaonong couldn't stand listening anymore, he patted the table and said: "Ji Hulu said that he will be the director of a new play!! He also rents your garden to perform in the morning! Why did you hear that he wants to raise his salary!"

Isn't the first two things shocking? !

He didn't intend to hear it here, and his eyes were straightened. The old and new dramas were at odds with each other and attacked each other, but it is true that the old drama learned the new drama's set. division……

What's wrong with this, their freehand style is so popular that not only their colleagues in old dramas have to learn, but also new dramas? ?

Although it is very motivating, but, this, this, the painting style is not right!

She still didn't know that Ji Shuangyu was going to play the realistic Ying Xiaonong this time, so she gave Ji Shuangyu a shocking look again, and said in her heart that it was really enough to make the old drama colleagues feel proud.

It was Ji Shuangyu who invited Yu Jianqing here to talk to Xu Xinyue about renting a venue and salary increase. He had just finished threatening, and Xu Xinyue felt as if he had been hit hard, and his eyes were glazed over.

"No way, my boss, I even specially introduced someone to rent your place here, so that you can directly subsidize the money for renting the place to me, and there will be no bleeding!" Ji Shuangyu felt that she was really considerate.

Xu Xinyue has nothing to lose from this in and out. If the performance is successful in the future, he can still make money selling melons, fruits and tea.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xinyue was still crazy.

Really unexpected, within reason.

Xu Xinyue rubbed her heart, and resentfully said: "Is there no room for bargaining..."

He just complained at the end, knowing in his heart that there was nothing he could do.

If he didn't agree to Ji Shuangyu, he might as well quit Changle Theater and find another venue.

Damn it, this Chunlei drama club is really disrupting the order of the market, why can't the Liyuan Public Welfare Association get rid of them!

Oh yes, they are new dramas, they cannot be cured...

Xu Xinyue reluctantly agreed, and made a contract with Yu Jianqing. After writing the contract, she said in a mood: "Hey, life is hard, are you all going to follow the old drama?"

Yu Jianqing asked: "Don't you know that Mr. Ji will also direct new realistic dramas?"

Xu Xinyue: "??"

Xu Xinyue: "How is that possible?? He told me that he didn't like realistic set films, and asked me to sell the ones I bought before! By the way, you still said that Jiang Sihai let you off the hook and asked Let's see whether realism or freehand brushwork is better!"

Ji Shuangyu said inexplicably: "Boss, don't slander me. I mean I don't like them appearing on the Chinese opera stage, and I didn't say that realism shouldn't exist. They live quite well on the stage of new dramas! What does it have to do with me?"

Xu Xinyue: "..."

Xu Xinyue knew best that Ji Shuangyu actually knew many institutions, but he was unwilling to use them and felt it was inappropriate.Therefore, after being shocked, he was one of the quickest to accept.

His only doubt was about the market, "I didn't say that the limelight of the new drama has passed, let alone the student's civilized new drama, you should take it easy..."

Who doesn't know that among the several forms of new dramas, theirs is the least commercialized.

Although Xu Xinyue's aesthetic quality is not particularly high, but as a self-owned theater operator, he is still clear about the market situation.

Chunlei Drama Club?Old lost money!

Although Ji Shuangyu was hired, Yu Jianqing didn't feel a little uneasy. He looked at Xu Xinyue, gritted his teeth and said, "Seeing you, I am willing to trust Director Ji!"

Xu Xinyue froze for a moment.

Then he remembered that many people thought that the Changle Theater was about to collapse.There are many people, including himself, who also feel that Changle Theater is no match for Yingge Stage...

He looked at the angry Ji Shuangyu, and murmured: "Yes, you should believe it."

Regardless of others, isn't he the one who should be believed the most.

……

After finishing the work here, Yu Jianqing also showed Ji Shuangyu her revised manuscript, which was called "Superb Beauty".

Ji Shuangyu looked at it, and felt that in this era of demons dancing wildly, everyone wrote manuscripts, which were no less than later generations. The characters here are entangled, and there are many bloody elements, which are common to all ages.

Family drama, always drop God!

However, Ji Shuangyu still has opinions to raise.

Ji Shuangyu: "We can make it a little more complicated! These two children are about the same age, how can they not be wrong? His father will recognize him later, Iamyourfather!"

Yu Jianqing: "..."

Yu Jianqing: "Okay, okay."

Ji Shuangyu: "If you want to be fantasy, let it be more thorough, and give the protagonist a predecessor!"

Yu Jianqing: "Yes, yes."

After writing down the things to be changed, Yu Jianqing said with emotion: "Everyone knows that Mr. Ji is going to make a new play, and his eyes are the same as ours before. He is very surprised. I am afraid that many people will not believe it when it is spread. Whoever taught Xieyifeng is too brilliant gone."

There are so many set designers and actors, regardless of new plays and old plays, all plays are lined up, just like opera actors have both Beijing and Kunming. There are also many civilized opera actors who later went to act in movies.

But Ji Shuangyu and Xieyifeng have to be equated, which is unbelievable.

Ji Shuangyu thought of the world she came from: "The old and new dramas are not in a state of confrontation. These arts, no matter whether they are passed down from ancient times or passed down overseas, when they land on the land of China, they also draw from here the essence of China." Nutrition.

"The influx of new dramas has also promoted the development of old dramas, but in the future, it will inevitably affect new dramas in the opposite direction. I think that one day in the future, Chinese opera will occupy a place in the world theater circle, and when it comes to Chinese drama, it is also a unique color. genre."

Yu Jianqing also nodded and said: "That's right! Director Ji, then you mentioned before that, can we see the presentation of Xieyi on the stage of the new drama this time?"

"Don't worry, you can only use it when it suits you. This time it's more suitable for realism." Ji Shuangyu said indifferently, "I can't make it just because you want to see it, or because it's novel."

Yu Jianqing nodded slowly. Although he wanted to see it very much, he also recognized Ji Shuangyu's attitude.

"One more thing, how do you plan to set the ticket price?" Ji Shuangyu asked casually.

"How about 25 coppers?" Yu Jianqing also said casually.

"It's too low," Ji Shuangyu said jokingly, "Although you don't aim to make money, it's too low. Teacher Yu doesn't care about 800 yuan, and the ticket price doesn't matter, don't just because of the public income and expenditure. ah."

Why do I feel that this teacher is a little ignorant of common affairs, and is simple-minded.

Yu Jianqing immediately said: "I never mean that! It's just because my dad is very rich!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "...the clown is actually me!"

The passing clown of Hanxi class: "???"

Ji Shuangyu: "...that's not what it means, that's not what it means."

After all, Ji Shuangyu suggested that Yu Jianqing raise the price by a dime. If it is too low, people will doubt the quality.

Good scripts are all revised, but after the basics are confirmed, Ji Shuangyu can also start desk work.

Previously, Ji Shuangyu had made an appointment with some famous classes such as Wufu Class, Hechun Class, and Yongkang Class in the capital to accept apprentices.

These days, they have already selected a good candidate, and on an auspicious day, they formally pay homage to Director Ji of Changle Theater as their teacher to learn the background.

This day is a good day.

Together with the original inspectors of the Changle Theater, the four set designers held the apprenticeship ceremony, and there were a total of six apprentices, with Ying Xiaonong and Xu Xinyue as witnesses.

The six people offered tea to Ji Shuangyu and saluted, formally appreciating their teachers.

Ji Shuangyu strongly asked not to kowtow, and there was no need to swear, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods. I just hope that you will have the spirit of learning and artistic virtues. In the future, everyone will contribute to the development of opera and dance art."

Therefore, their salute is simply a bow.

Although these six apprentices are all older than Ji Shuangyu, in Chinese etiquette, they have to regard Ji Shuangyu as an elder.

After bowing, the apprentices were very excited, and now they can get in touch with Ji Shuangyu's housekeeping skills!

All along, as apprentices, they always follow the master, starting from helping out with odd jobs.Changle Theater was the first to follow Ji Shuangyu's inspector, known as "Liu Liang". This time, he was also a big brother, and he took the initiative to ask: "Master, is there anything we can do?"

Ah, I don't know what Master will make today, is it a palace, a white jade railing, or a moon gate?

Ji Shuangyu remembered that she had finished the color scheme of the new play, and someone was ordering her, so she drew a draft and took a look: "Today, let's draw a realistic set together, the brushes and paints are ready... "

Disciples: "???"

...No, what do you mean, this person is Ji Shuangyu, right?

Ji Shuangyu said deeply: "The next work for the teacher is a new drama with a realistic style, so, you and I will write realistically for a while, and we will be happy later."

Apprentices: "..."

write...what?

When we came to learn freehand brushwork, your old man turned around and wanted to play a new play?

Or should I say: you still have new plays? ?

The oldest of the apprentices is Ji Shuangyu's father. He is over 40 this year. He used to draw advertisements. His name was Chen Zhongxiang. He said with a messy face, "Master, do you still need to learn to be realistic?"

They are all veterans!

Chen Zhong wanted to say something but stopped, and there was a sentence in his heart that he didn't respect Master: realistic style, it's almost the same as we teach you...

They have not undergone professional training, but they are either craftsmen, or have the skills of western painting or traditional Chinese painting, and then learn realistic sets. After a long period of accumulation and learning, these business set designers of various major companies can basically do what they draw. .

Although, it may not be as good as the set designers in Shanghai-now everyone still has a kind of admiration for the set sets in Shanghai.

It's not because Ji Shuangyu broke this worship that they wanted to come to him.

result……?

Ji Shuangyu could see the hesitation in their eyes, and knew that it was up to Lu to do it. It would be much easier to chat with the students, and it would be much easier to talk to the craftsmen.

Ji Shuangyu said: "You don't have to be overwhelmed by Yiduo, I will teach you how to paint walls first."

He knows that there is no conflict between freehand brushwork and realism, just like referring to the set of an opera stage, it all depends on how well your designer coordinates.

It's just that his forward-looking vision is not something everyone can have. Even Liuliang started to scratch his head, wondering if he should come out to support Master.

Master, who can paint walls? There are so many new and old drama clubs, and there are not a few buildings in the set films. Can the set designer still paint this most common scene in life?

Facts have proved that compared with Ji Shuangyu, they really don't know how to do it!

Ji Shuangyu's approach was completely different from what they imagined. After he outlined the lines, he directly used chaff, glue, paper pulp, etc. to complete the coloring and pasted them on the drawing.

Everyone couldn't understand it at first, but after he scraped and molded it, the six of them said in unison: "Tiger skin wall?!"

It is a wall, a mottled and irregular tiger skin wall.

Then, Ji Shuangyu created several other "walls", broken walls, smoked broken walls, cement walls...Compared with the scenes they drew, this is not only the shape is realistic, but the texture of the wall is completely It's all reflected!

This kind of scene painting method has never been seen before, and probably even the set designers in Shanghai have never learned it... No, not to mention the set designers in Shanghai, even foreign countries may not be able to see it, right?

In terms of truth, it is obvious that Ji Shuangyu's method is better.

But how could this be?

Ji Shuangyu, the oldest apprentice, murmured: "It's really a whimsical idea, I've never thought about it, it can be realistic, and it can also create the nature of objects..."

I thought that I had already learned a lot about realism, but I never expected that there is a sky beyond the sky.

The way they look at Ji Shuangyu now is unbelievable. With such skills, why did the master start with the freehand set?

No, no, he defeated the realistic setting with the freehand setting!

Could it be that in his mind, freehand brushwork is better than realism...

The more the apprentices thought about it, the more astonished they became, completely overturning their previous thinking.

Ji Shuangyu clapped her hands and put down the tools, "Yes, physical properties are also called texture. There are many ways to shape the texture of the set and make it more realistic. I heard that some jokes happened on the stage, tables, chairs, benches, and all furniture are all painted on On the set piece, to open a door, the set piece must be torn open.

"The realism I'm talking about not only has a real texture, but also can form a real space and help actors complete their performances. Now, do you want to learn realism or freehand brushwork?"

The six of them were almost stupid, Chen Zhong wanted to be dumbfounded, and almost wanted to yell that of course he was learning realism!

Xieyi also needs to expand the market.Learn realism, with this skill, even if you go to Shanghai, you can immediately shine, live in a bungalow, drive a car - he can't figure out why the master didn't go to Shanghai to work as a set designer.

But Liu Liang shouted first: "We will learn what you teach. You are the master. I think these two are good, and both can defeat Jiang Sihai!"

Chen Zhongxiang came back to his senses immediately, yes, he almost fainted, what choice should he choose, no matter what it is, it will be a job for a lifetime.

Ji Shuangyu smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, both are good. You will know in the future, I teach two kinds, but they can also be combined into one."

……

When it was time to get off work, the six apprentices wanted to surround Ji Shuangyu and send him back.Although Ji Shuangyu didn't let them kowtow at that time, but among the old-fashioned craftsmen, they still treated Ji Shuangyu as an elder...

Especially after seeing Ji Shuangyu's craftsmanship.

"Okay, you don't need to see me off, someone will pick you up." Ji Shuangyu really didn't want to be helped, what a joke, Chen Zhong thought he had gray hair on his temples.He pointed to Zhou Siyin who came over at some unknown time and was waiting outside the door, "He has a car."

Under the reluctant gazes of the apprentices, Ji Shuangyu and Zhou Siyin left together, and skillfully opened the door by themselves, got into Zhou Siyin's car, "Let me see!"

Zhou Siyin handed him a brand new copybook.

Today is the day when Ji Shuangyu's pen copybook is officially released. This "Ji Shuangyu Pen Copybook" will be sent to all parts of the country by train.Zhou Siyin had shown him a sample before, but this one was bound and covered.

Ji Shuangyu flipped through it a few times. The paper was of good quality and the printing was clear. Except for a little bit of the times in the design of the binding, it was basically no different from the copybooks of later generations.

"How about your new play, how is it going?" Zhou Siyin asked.

"Hahaha..." Ji Shuangyu laughed.

Seeing this smile, Zhou Siyin had a strange feeling, "...what are you doing?"

Ji Shuangyu: "I was just about to tell you that the finalization of the script is a grievance between the rich and powerful. I am thinking about the art plan. Can I visit your house to collect materials and see the decoration of the rich family."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

I really want to go to his house...

Zhou Siyin was silent for a while, "When?"

"It's better to hit the sun than choose a day, let's do it today!" Ji Shuangyu shook Zhou Siyin's hand again, "Brother Baoduo, you are so kind."

Zhou Siyin was speechless, and felt like he was mocking himself when he heard people were nice.Looking at Ji Shuangyu's innocent face, he felt that he was indeed a very cute and annoying existence.

The hand was being held again, Zhou Siyin only felt that it was very cold, and inexplicably remembered that just now in the Changle Theater, he heard Ji Shuangyu teaching the set designers how to shape the "texture" of objects.

If these hands, the texture is afraid that it will be extremely difficult to make them realistic.

unless……

"Leng Yu." Zhou Siyin whispered unconsciously.

"What?" Ji Shuangyu didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing. When you come to my house, you can visit anywhere, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to." Zhou Siyin came back to his senses and warned.

"Okay, tell me." Ji Shuangyu said in his heart that this would be an eye-opener. Generally, this kind of rich and famous family has the most rules. Maybe there is some secret hidden behind it. He looked at Zhou Siyin seriously.

Zhou Siyin also looked into his eyes, and said carefully word by word: "The Guanyin that I respect and invite is very effective. If you enter the incense, don't make a mistake in the direction!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

The author has something to say:

Ji Shuangyu: Friend, you are really young and promising, pretending to be a fool!

In the last chapter, everyone thought of "Thunderstorm". Hahaha, if you don't arrange "Thunderstorm", you don't know how to describe real historical figures and works. What is mentioned in one sentence is also true, false, and disrupted. Everything serves the plot and cannot be studied in detail.But it was true that family dramas were popular at that time, and "Thunderstorm" was a masterpiece, so it's okay to use this feeling to make up for the effect~
