He was so miserable, he pretended to be [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 82. Return of the Shadow Puppet God of Entertainment

Due to the preheating of the previous events, the matter about A Huan and the shadow puppet show has been widely circulated on the Internet, and everyone's discussions are also very heated.

Since watching the live shadow puppet show, many young people have been attracted by the essence of the shadow puppet show. Many people have expressed that they are looking forward to the documentary directed by A Huan and want to do it again. Saw Uncle Zhang's performance.

A Huan clarified on the Internet: "This film is not directed by me, but a documentary directed by a good friend of mine named Han Yi. I just use my own identity to promote this documentary." .If you are interested, you can also watch other documentaries he will make in the future.”

Han Yi and A Huan have already discussed it. Promoting the shadow puppetry is only the first step. Next, they will explore some other folk traditional skills to promote those folk traditional skills so that they will not be drowned in the world. In the rolling torrent of light, let them shine again, be remembered, loved by people, and sung by people.

A Huan couldn't help feeling emotional, and patted Han Yi on the shoulder and said, "You really have an idea. I have been in the world's entertainment circle for so many years, and I never thought of starting from the perspective of these traditional folk skills." Come and go to promote the word entertainment."

Han Yi smiled and said: "Entertainment is always paramount, but few people think about the meaning behind entertainment paramount? What can the four words "entertainment paramount" bring us? Shadow puppetry is also a kind of entertainment. way, but behind the entertainment, there is more of an excellent creative and spiritual culture of a nation."

A Huan clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, the deep meaning behind it is worthy of everyone's careful analysis. Now many works are just superficial, like factory-like works, and the format is the same , in order to win the attention of the public and win the favor of the fast-food audience."

"Well, but what I want to say is that there is no distinction between high and low entertainment products. It doesn't mean that fast-food content is not good. In fact, many people also need fast-food content to relieve their mood." Han Yi nodded, "But I I don’t want those old cultures to die quietly because of this.”

A Huan thought about it again, and said: "Although entertainment products do not distinguish between high and low, the spirit they convey is different. And there is no need to stick to the form of works that can move people. As long as we can use shadow puppets to convey beautiful meaning, it means that the shadow puppets... should not die."

Han Yi nodded: "Yes, it's just that it will be difficult."

A Huan: "It's not difficult, I still don't do it."

The two looked at each other for a while, and both smiled.

These are exactly what Han Yi has been thinking about all this time. He travels back and forth among countless entertainment worlds, and every time he can help the original owners to make a comeback and gain the love of the audience and fans.

However, after each task was completed, Han Yi would secretly think in his heart, besides saving one person's life, what kind of impact did he do on other people?

If he replaces those original owners to shoot a very good movie or TV series, and the values ​​promoted in those movies and TV series can be absorbed by the current people, then this is a meaningful thing, but other than that In addition, he also wants to do more things, to help those skills that are very meaningful in themselves, but things have not been left behind.

Whether to decide to forget these old skills is the decision of all audiences. What Han Yi can do is to let these ancient traditional skills be displayed in the best way in front of everyone, and let everyone judge.

The God of Entertainment not only serves the cause of entertaining the public, but also serves "entertainment" itself.

At 8 pm the next day, the live broadcast continued as usual, and what was shown in the live broadcast room were clips and clips left over from the filming of the shadow puppetry documentary.

It can be seen from the clips that the relationship between Uncle Zhang, A Huan, Han Yi and others is actually very good, and the insulting incidents that everyone mentioned before did not happen at all.

As soon as such tidbits were broadcast, everyone believed even more that the previous rumors about A Huan were all slander.

Uncle Zhang also performed a wonderful shadow play in the live broadcast room today, which attracted more fans.

"My God, today's shadow puppet show is even better than yesterday's one. Uncle Zhang, I don't know how many surprises you have."

"Where did you get it? We only performed two shadow puppet shows. Maybe old man Zhang will have more shows for us in the future!"

"Looking at it this way, I'm really looking forward to that documentary. When will it be released?"

"Yes, yes, when it airs, I must let my parents watch it."

"Okay, let me say that traditional culture should not die. I have already made an agreement with my son's school. When the time comes, all the students in their class will watch it together! Children must know these things!"

Under such momentum, the shadow puppetry documentary filmed by Han Yi, although it is not a big production and does not have the bonus of traffic stars, but it has been rising all the way, and many companies want to buy from him. copyright or obtain title broadcasting rights.

However, since Han Yi had already promised Uncle Zhang, he would not make a profit from this documentary, because Uncle Zhang was worried that once this documentary was linked with interests, the subsequent development would not be their tradition. Craftsmen can control it.

What Uncle Zhang wants is for more people to see shadow puppetry, not for capital to manipulate their documentaries.

So Han Yi contacted everywhere. In addition to the six-episode documentary that the TV station promised to broadcast, he also re-edited according to the material in a way similar to "big movies" and dramas within dramas. He also found a few reliable movie broadcasting companies. It can be said that the right to play shadow puppetry was sold to them at the price of the book, and the number of screenings and screening time per day were specified.

Han Yi didn't want to compete at the box office, so he didn't have too many shows, but the time was regarded as the prime time for everyone to watch.

On the day of the premiere, A Huan specially took Uncle Zhang to the cinema, invited him to sit in the most luxurious seat in the middle of the cinema, turned to him and said, "Uncle Zhang, just stare at the movie screen for a while, You will see the whole screen is you and your shadow puppetry."

Except for the two of them, the movie theater was full of seats, and many people couldn't even get a movie ticket. They wanted to buy online or reserve movie tickets for the next few days.

It was almost the first time in his life that Old Uncle Zhang stepped into such a high-end movie theater, and the content of the show was a documentary filmed by himself, so he was very excited, his hands were trembling, but his eyes were staring at the screen very brightly.

The lights of the cinema were turned off, and the documentary began to play slowly.

At the beginning of the documentary, there is a scene where the photographer, Mr. Zhang, is singing a shadow play alone. This Mr. Zhang is exactly his current age. After a sad-sounding shadow play, Mr. Zhang seems to be lost in thought, as if recalling It reminds me of the time when he first came into contact with shadow puppetry.

With the elongation of the lens and the change of light, the scene in front of me is gradually blurred.

In the next scene, it was back to the old man Zhang when he was young. At that time, he heard the shadow puppetry performed by others on the street for the first time.

Later, he really had the opportunity to learn shadow puppetry from scratch with his father-in-law.

Uncle Zhang is a very talented person, and he has already reached a certain level within a short period of time. His father-in-law saw his talent, so he decided to hand over the shadow puppetry business inherited by his family to Uncle Zhang.

Since then, Mr. Zhang has devoted himself to the development of shadow puppetry. He has set up a stage at the entrance of the village to perform at a fixed time every week, and there is no charge.

After Zhang's family members passed away one after another, Zhang devoted himself to the promotion of shadow puppetry, and became famous for a while.

In those magnificent and magnificent days, many people even walked more than ten miles of mountain roads every day, just to come to the entrance of the village to watch the shadow puppet show performed by old man Zhang.

That was the most glorious moment for old man Zhang and the shadow puppet show, as if the sun had risen to the highest point of the sky at noon, it was very dazzling, as if it would never set.

However, with the gradual rise of various entertainment methods, people gradually no longer care about this kind of shadow puppetry. The audience in front of Zhang's stage gradually decreased, and finally only Zhang was left alone.

In the background of the setting sun, Uncle Zhang’s back looks very lonely. He bent his body and wanted to play the shadow puppetry again, but he held the villain in his hand, but he didn’t move for a long time, and finally he just sighed deeply , and then put away his shadow puppet stage.

In the process.Some brief introductions to shadow puppetry are made, and the remaining richer content will continue to be presented in the following six-episode documentaries.

The film is not long, but many people have tears streaming down their faces after seeing it, and were deeply attracted. Many people lamented the fate of Uncle Zhang and the shadow puppet show, and many people thought that Uncle Zhang was a great character, even though no one paid attention to it. , but he can still stick to the original, after so many years, he is still standing in front of the stage of the shadow puppet show, he is really a very remarkable character.

At the end of the screening, all the audience applauded enthusiastically.

A Huan also applauded, turned to old man Zhang and said, "Old man Zhang, look at how well our documentary works. You are an amazing person, and Han Yi is also an amazing person. He can shoot you like this." The story is really powerful."

Uncle Zhang has not shed tears for many years, because with the passing away of his relatives and the gradual decline of shadow puppetry, the sadness in his heart has been polished away. All that remains in these years is numbness, but at this moment, he is still Infected by the surrounding atmosphere, even moved by the self in the film, a pair of cloudy eyes couldn't help but also filled with tears.

A Huan hurriedly stepped forward and patted Uncle Zhang on the shoulder, saying: "Old man, don't cry. This is a happy thing, we should laugh."

Uncle Zhang nodded, quickly wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "I really never thought that one day the story between me and shadow puppetry would be made into a documentary, and so many audiences would watch it. "

A Huan said with a smile: "Yes, and everyone likes Uncle Zhang very much. Do you think we did the right thing?"

Uncle Zhang naturally agreed. After getting along with Han Yi and the others in the last period of time, although the stubbornness in his whole body has not subsided, he is much easier to get along with.

Uncle Zhang turned his head to look at the back of the cinema, and asked, "Is Xiao Han there?"

A Huan said: "That's right, there will be six test screenings of the documentary in a while. He will watch the audience's reaction there and record it. There will be improvements in the future."

Uncle Zhang turned around and walked back.

The movie theater hadn't turned on the lights yet, the stairs were very dark, and the road was narrow. Uncle Zhang lowered his head, stared at the stairs under his feet seriously, and walked up step by step solemnly until he reached Han Yi.

Han Yi was flashing back to the reaction of some audience members just now, when he heard the movement, he raised his head and looked at Uncle Zhang.

Old Uncle Zhang's cloudy eyes were filled with tears again, but this time they did not fall. He looked at Han Yi with grateful eyes, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Director Han. If it wasn't for the You, I will never have today in my life."

Han Yi paused, then put down the things in his hands, turned to hold Uncle Zhang's hand, and said solemnly: "No, Uncle Zhang, it is you who created my work, not my work. I missed you. If it weren’t for your persistence for decades, I wouldn’t be able to make such a good documentary based on your story. Uncle Zhang, your spirit is admirable.”

And this spirit can be conveyed from the spirit of shadow puppetry.

In fact, it is not just old man Zhang and shadow puppetry, but also other folk traditional arts. Among those folk traditional memories that are about to be forgotten and almost no one loves and mentions, there are still a wave of inheritors who stick to their hearts and work hard. Stand by the last post.

Like Uncle Zhang, they may live a life that no one cares about, or have a normal life, but they still have a holy place in their hearts, but their common wish is to be able to use the traditional folk skills at hand Carry forward, but suffer from silence.

And what Han Yi wants to do now is to help as many traditional folk artisans as possible, to promote their traditional folk arts, and to make entertainment in this world more colorful, not just superficial.

Once the shadow puppetry documentary was broadcast, whether it was a movie or a six-episode documentary, it had reached a very high level. Overnight, almost everyone knew the story of old man Zhang and his shadow puppetry, and learned about shadow puppetry through this film. What is going on,

A Huan and Han Yi took advantage of the heat and decided to take advantage of this momentum to open a shadow puppet theater, so that more people could come to the theater to experience for themselves what the shadow puppetry was all about.

Although they had a premonition that their income might not be very good in the future, A Huan and Han Yi... were indeed very rich.

Uncle Zhang will naturally be on stage as the first performer.

In the background, Xiaojun straightened old man Zhang's clothes.He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old man, it's been many years since I saw you perform a shadow puppet show last time. I didn't expect to be able to watch it with everyone today. I'm so excited. Anyway, come on, old man." , your shadow play is the best."

These words are like coaxing a child, but old man Zhang is very useful.

He hadn't performed shadow puppetry in front of so many people for many years, and he was a little nervous to suddenly stand on such a big stage to perform, but in order to promote his own shadow puppetry, no matter how nervous he was, he had to perform as usual.

Uncle Zhang nodded, straightened the cuffs of his new clothes, and then walked behind the curtain to wait for the stage.

As a big star, A Huan airborne into the theater, which made the audience shout wildly.

After the enthusiasm passed, A Huan smiled and said: "The big star here today is not me, but someone else. The reason why everyone came here must be to watch old man Zhang perform a shadow play. I can Let me tell you quietly, the shadow puppet show that Uncle Zhang will perform today is definitely one you have never heard of before, and the performance is the most exciting shadow puppet show!"

A Huan described it so vividly that the audience in the audience were eagerly looking forward to it, eagerly hoping that Old Man Zhang would appear soon.

This was the first time that when a big star was in front of them, they did not frantically scream and chase, but looked forward to the appearance of another mediocre ordinary person.

Seeing this, A Huan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, then we will hand over the stage to our old man Zhang and his shadow puppetry, everyone please enjoy it."

The audience applauded enthusiastically, the curtain was pulled down, and after a while the lights were turned off, the lights were turned on again, and the curtain was slowly opened.

And behind the curtain, it was Mr. Zhang sitting in front of his shadow puppet stage.

Two lifelike little black figures had already appeared on the screen. The two of them were playing and playing, as if they were playing some kind of game.

Suddenly, one of the black shadows stumbled, and the other black shadow turned into a very huge monster, and it was about to swallow that black shadow in one bite.

All the audience exclaimed, afraid that this thing would really happen in the next second, but fortunately, the black figure in front was very vigorous, got up quickly, and finally fled the scene, and then staged a scene of you chasing me Catch the story.

In the end, the villain in front finally got rid of the monster after going through all kinds of hardships. The black shadow climbed the mountain and saw the setting sun that had just appeared.

As the sun rises, the whole drama reaches its most powerful plot, the sound of music cooperates extremely surgingly, and the hearts of all the audience drop, and the villain stands on the top of the mountain, with his arms outstretched and blowing a blow. It was as if the whole world was trampled under his feet, and he finally gained new life and freedom.

This play is exactly the "Sunrise in the East" that old man Zhang often performed. Every time he performed this shadow puppet show, he would get countless praises.

And today, this scene happened again.

However, the combination of lighting and music at the scene brought the short and simple story a more immersive experience.

Uncle Zhang stood up. He looked very old, but his whole body was shining because of the shadow puppetry on the stage. His appearance was not inferior to those young and beautiful stars at all.

The audience couldn't help applauding even more emotionally, and gave a warm voice, this is an artist, this is a craftsman!

"Uncle Zhang and the shadow puppet show are so wonderful!"

"Uncle Zhang! Shadow play! Old man Zhang! Shadow play!"

Amid such shouts, old man Zhang's eyes became moist, but the tears that didn't stay originally burst out of his eyes at this moment.

He bowed deeply to the audience, and said in substandard Mandarin: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, thank you for loving shadow puppetry again. I will spend the rest of my life with shadow puppetry. If Everyone has time, welcome to watch my shadow puppet show."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Zhang sat down again. He still has many newer and more exquisite stories that he wants to bring to everyone.

This shadow puppet theater activity was an unprecedented success. In the next period of time, the follow-up parts of the shadow puppet documentary filmed by Han Yi for Mr. Zhang were released one after another, and suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

It is precisely because of this documentary that shadow puppetry has returned to the public's field of vision and gained popularity again. Many shadow puppetry troupes have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The shadow puppetry business is expected to flourish and return to glory.

After Han Yi took A Huan, Xiao Jun, and Uncle Zhang to the opening ceremony of the Shadow Puppet Festival, Uncle Zhang was pulled to do an interview, and Xiao Jun helped him out, and by the way, he promoted their local culture industry.

Holding the wine, A Huan chatted with Han Yi in a secluded place.

Seeing the excitement in front of him, the people who came to the theater festival had great enthusiasm and expectations for the shadow puppet show. A Huan said with a smile: "Congratulations, director Han, your wish has come true."

Han Yi tilted his head and smiled, and said: "It can be considered that the hard work during this period has not been in vain."

"What's your plan next?" A Huan asked.

If it was in the past, A Huan asked this way, mostly to find out about Han Yi's itinerary, and to secretly find similar resources to compete with him.

But now, A Huan asked this question because she really wanted to know what Han Yi was going to do next, and even said that she was concerned about Han Yi.

Han Yi paused, and said: "In addition to shadow puppetry, there are many other traditional folk arts that are worth discovering and promoting. There are too many beautiful cultures in our country, all of which are covered by the hustle and bustle on the surface. They were originally It should shine brightly, but it is buried for many reasons."

"I understand what you mean." A Huan said, "Modern people's life pace is too fast, few people can calm down and savor those things, so are you going to continue?"

From this question, Han Yi heard something different.

Han Yi asked back: "Will you continue to cooperate with me?"

A Huan curled her lips, and said, "Nonsense, my name is already publicized, you want to take advantage of me for nothing? There is no such thing as you when crossing rivers and tearing down bridges."

Han Yi shook his head helplessly, and said: "No, I just think that you may need to go back to your own business. You have been following me to do this now, don't you think it's a waste of time?"

A Huan looked at Han Yi, with a strange feeling in his eyes, and said: "We have known each other for so many years, don't you understand me? Who am I, why would I waste my time doing what I think is a waste of time?" about time?"

That's true, A Huan is second only to Han Yi, and is naturally a formidable person. He has a goal and direction in doing things, and obviously won't waste time aimlessly.

Han Yi smiled, stretched out his hand to A Huan, and said, "It's a happy cooperation."
