Since 1983

A meeting was held all day, and a gong and drum performance was scheduled.

The progress seems to be very fast, but in fact, it is necessary to conduct on-the-spot inspections, find personnel, arrange programs, rehearse, review, and on-site training... It is easy to talk about it, but it will be in vain.

It will take more than half a year for this series to happen, so first determine the elements of each program, and then proceed at the same time. The performance of gongs and drums was handed over to an old director. He led a dozen people, which was considered a small team.

Xu Fei listened to it for a day, but did not express any opinions, and sat for another day.

The next day the mind was open and the debate intensified. The gongs and drums are rigid, and the following is softer. Many people think of folk dances. But in such a big venue, how to dance folk dances?

big problem.

The second day was fruitless, and it was the third day.

Good guy! Xu Fei was startled at the very beginning. A senior dancer from a cultural troupe brought a big blackboard over.

How can there be any PPT and LED display these days, purely manual.

Holding a chalk, the old gentleman gestured and said, I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that my thinking was wrong. I'm at a dead end. It doesn't matter what kind of dance you dance. No matter how beautiful the dance is, what's the use if the audience can't see clearly?

What a large venue needs is the overall effect!

Just like a military band, the whole is highlighted first, what do you want to express? For example, uh, the Asian Games are in summer, right? What is there in summer, there are lotus flowers...

He brushed and painted for a while, and several freehand lotus flowers appeared on the blackboard, divided into two groups, one group was budding, and the other group was blooming.

Look at this, the audience can understand at a glance, oh, this is a lotus flower in full bloom. If they understand, we will succeed. If you have to pursue some dance or complex movements, there is no way to do it.

As long as it has the soft and beautiful meaning of folk dance, the movements should be simple, the costumes must be in place, and the expression must be clear...

To put it bluntly, it's still a queue.

The voice came out again.

Everyone is quite used to it. From time to time, a male voice will come out slowly, pointing to every sentence.

Right!

The choreographer was very excited, What you see in the big venue is the formation, and the individual is not important!

...

The chief director discussed with Deng Zaijun for a while, then frowned and said, Let's let it go first, and continue.

Our first event is a gong and drum performance, and the second is a folk dance, which has strong Chinese characteristics. I briefly reported to the leader yesterday, and he is very supportive of this idea, so don't worry, but have confidence.

Then think about it, what else is there?

How about calligraphy and painting?

Calligraphy and painting can't be realized. You can't ask hundreds of people to play spelling, right? That's meaningless.

You can't spell it on the bottom, but you can do it on the top. Set up a link on the background flip panel, and flip over a few ancient Chinese characters.

That's good, superficially.

The chief director made a note, Is there anything else?

How about shadow puppets? Oh no, the light shouldn't work.

What about Pingtan?

I don't even understand that stuff, you let foreigners listen?

Peking opera?

Peking opera is okay, the key is how to show it...

Everyone is worried. If it's a stage, even if it's an open-air stage, it's easy to fiddle with. The problem is that there is no such a large stadium.

It can be used as a platform, but it can only be mobile and small. The large table cannot be installed on site, and it can be dismantled on site.

Or martial arts, but I'm afraid of conflicting with the front.

It doesn't matter, the front is Taijiquan, and the back can be comprehensive.

I agree!

Liu Di finally interrupted, and hurriedly said: Martial arts performance has a deep tradition, and it has always been a group event. Now it is just expanded. Hundreds of people are waving big flags and playing with knives and sticks. The effect is absolutely shocking. Several groups can also be arranged. In sparring, eighteen kinds of martial arts are displayed, and the form is also very flexible.

Due to the current social atmosphere, everyone has a little understanding of martial arts, especially gay men.

Mention this stubble, full of interest. Some said that they invited qigong masters to perform the performance of fighting cattle across the mountain, some said that they arranged for Shaolin and Wudang Huashan to practice swords, and some said they knew someone who practiced the five tigers breaking the door...

Liu Di was relieved when he saw the atmosphere was so enthusiastic, and felt that he had not lost the face of Jingtai.

Then, he heard a sentence pop up next to him: Well, I have a different opinion...

Um?

The audience was silent, all staring in a certain direction. The chief director has caught someone this time, and the young guy behind him is very handsome.

Seeing him holding a drawing book in his hand, he opened his mouth and said:

All of you here are teachers, I am a junior, please forgive me if I am wrong.

It's the third day of our meeting, whether it's the discussion program or the style of controversy, everyone seems to have formed a consensus. Just like what the teacher said just now, the big venue can only be seen as a whole, and the individual is not important.

Is this concept correct? Personally, I think part of it is correct.

Hundreds of thousands of people crowded together and changed into various shapes. With a wave of their hands, all the brush flags rose up, and with another wave of their hands, all the brush flags fell to the ground.

It's really nice. But from the perspective of overall programming and audience appreciation, it is not appropriate.

What is your mother going to do? ! ! !

Liu Di's eyes widened, wishing he could drag him back and dig a hole to bury him.

The chief director recognized it for a while, then asked softly, Is he Xu Fei?

Well, it's him. Deng Zaijun said.

It's a bit of a wunderkind.

It's not a good word to say youth will succeed, and it is often followed by the sentence There must be disasters.

You mean the queue is not important? Then I want to hear, what do you think?

Naturally, there are old seniors who don't like it, and their tone is very aggressive.

My statement is quite clear. What I said is partly correct and inappropriate.

Xu Fei didn't look at what anyone said, and said: We who are engaged in art cannot rigidify ourselves. It must be this way or that. I disagree with you, and I am against you? This is not the work of a literary and art worker. Attitude. Disagreement is valuable, and disagreement is not accepted.

Ouch!

Everyone was taken aback, this kid was even more aggressive.

The person who spoke was blushing from choking, but he didn't press anymore. Because the eight words diversity is the most precious, and disagreement is not accepted were said by Cai Yuanpei.

Okay, okay, tell me in detail, said the chief director.

The reason why we recruit so many people to perform is because the venue is too big, and if there are too many people, the picture will be very full.

You say queues are correct, but you can't be queues from start to finish. Otherwise, if the audience watches it for a long time, it will become like this, like this, like this...

Xu Fei walked to the blackboard and tapped three sketches.

In the first one, many villains are painted with colored pens, forming a wonderful pattern on the field, with distinct layers and clear.

In the second picture, there are still many villains, the outlines are a little blurred, and the patterns formed are similar, but not so clear.

In the third picture, the villains simply became small dots, as neat as a mosaic.

He couldn't explain psychology to these people, so he took it out most directly and said: The audience watched the first program, well, this gong is very powerful, mighty and majestic!

Watching the second show, the dance is good and the dance is really neat.

Look at the third one, really neat!

If every program focuses on the queue, the audience will feel shocked when they watch one or two, but will they still be shocked when they watch three or four?

People's visual senses will get tired, and in the end, I guess there is only one word left in my mind, Zhenqi. So I think the queue is very important, but it has to be interspersed.

What's more, there are so many formations that can be changed, and it is difficult to keep repetitions.

This is the case in the real opening ceremony. Several big programs are all queues and formations, and one of them is a group of several people, each forming a circle and spinning continuously.

Regardless of the military band, gongs and drums, dance, and martial arts, the circling occupied the entire opening ceremony, so the commentary was changed.

...

The chief director pondered for a while and asked, Do you want to focus on the individual?

right.

Then how do you behave?

Director Deng, can we have a close-up shot of a single person? Xu Fei asked.

Can.

That's good.

Xu Fei picked up the chalk and drew a few rough lines, I don't know how to sing and dance, and what I'm thinking of these days is a comprehensive program that focuses on martial arts, and it is also divided into several small parts.

In the beginning, hundreds of people entered the arena holding big flags, red and black, and burly, and they had the feeling of ancient battlefields and heroes when they waved them.

The flag bearers line up, of course I won't line up. After the performance, stand in a circle around the yard, with banners and flags waving, and soldiers cheering.

Then come up a few moving stages, didn't you just say that Peking opera can't be performed? can be added.

The stage had to be covered, and one by one appeared, just like the curtain was brushed aside, Mu Guiying was heroic, wearing a python, leaning against her body, turning her body and waist, and flying up and down in a flower gun dance.

Then he pulled again, and it turned out to be Bo Tong in Legend of the White Snake, with a majestic purple face, one face changed from green to red, from red to white, and from white to black.

There is one in the middle, please be a master of martial arts, single play, no use of knives, guns and sticks, no style. After the rehearsal, a group of middle-aged and middle-aged boys came up, shouting earth-shatteringly, and punching vigorously.

After playing, the two sides open, and each enters a group of lions.

A southern lion and a northern lion have different styles and each shows their magical powers. In the end, they gathered in the middle, shaking their heads and tails, celebrating together...

The girl was quick-witted, telling a series of stories like a storyteller.

...

There was no movement in the room, everyone was thinking seriously.

Others are talking about ideas, but this one directly puts up a set of programs, and the only thing that needs to be done is the specific arrangements. A group of veterans thought and thought, first of all, the content is rich, the form is diverse, it has both overall effect and personal characteristics.

In particular, the design of the two lions in the north and south is even more unexpected.

Dao Ma Dan and Wu Sheng are both good, and Sichuan opera can also change faces.

Would the lion dance be too lively? After all, it's the opening ceremony.

Chinese people only dance lions when there are big happy events. Isn't the Asian Games a big happy event?

Everyone was discussing happily, and an old gentleman said: Oh, right, you said just now that martial artists don't play with guns and clubs. What do you want him to practice? This is the protagonist, so you have to hold back.

Use the sword.

sword?

Drunken Sword.

Yo!

Everyone's spirits were shaken, and they all remembered Heroes of the Yellow River, which was released this year.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be richer than simply queuing up. Whether it is adopted or not is another matter, at least the form is very inspiring. Looking at this one again, the eyes are a little different.

Boy, which unit do you belong to? You are so young!

Let me introduce myself, everyone knows each other.

Don't dare to be, dare not be...

When not talking, Mr. Xu is very personable, My name is Xu Fei, and I work at the Beijing Television Art Center.
