Chapter 70 Shadow Play

Just do what you say, and as soon as the live broadcast ended, Shen Zhiqi called Qu Weichen and asked him if he had contact with the people in the education system.

For this kind of thing, it's always easier to take the upper-level route.As long as there is a file above, the school will naturally cooperate.And there is no harm in betting on them in this kind of thing. The popularity of traditional culture has been very high in recent years, and doing so is just following the trend.

Qu Weichen really knows people.

Although he has not been here for a short time, it can be said that he has a wide range of friends and knows all kinds of people.And these people inside the system, you know me and I know you, are actually a circle.Even if you don't know each other, find a middleman to make peace, go out to have a meal, play together a few times, and you will get acquainted.

Hearing from Shen Zhiqi that he wanted to promote Tang Ying's live video as teaching materials, Qu Weichen, as one of the brainless fans, naturally agreed with both hands, and he was guaranteed to do it. He didn't need Shen Zhiqi And Tang Ying came forward.

This is better, after all, Tang Ying's face is too eye-catching, there is no guarantee that no one will be tempted after seeing her.Although Shen Zhiqi was not afraid, he didn't want her to be contaminated with these things.

As for herself, the matter of the craft museum has just started, and the studio of the grading website also needs to watch over it. She also needs to take care of Tang Ying and make various preparations for the live broadcast with her.

However, it will take some time for this matter to be completed, so after handing it over to Qu Weichen, Shen Zhiqi also left it behind.

Before meeting Tang Ying, Shen Zhiqi was like the vast majority of Chinese youths. Although he was also interested in traditional culture, he never took the initiative to learn more about it.After being with Tang Ying, I learned a lot, and began to pay attention to this aspect unconsciously.

Every time I see it, there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land".

And I don't know if it's fate, since she met Tang Ying, even on the vast Internet, she often saw related content.

On this day, Shen Zhiqi saw a video of a shadow play on Weibo.The video of a few minutes tells the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger. It has pictures, sounds, and stories. It is vivid and wonderful.

So after watching this short video, her first reaction was to go to Tang Ying, "Can you do this?"

I know how to do it, but Tang Ying rejected the plan to come to a live broadcast.

Because shadow play is not only good at doing, but also good at acting.While manipulating the characters behind the curtain, he is also responsible for dubbing performances, and occasionally even opens his mouth for a piece of opera.Tang Ying has no problem doing it, and even the soundtrack can be done, but it is too difficult for her to tell a story vividly, and even play several roles by herself.

She originally thought that the matter would be over after she refused, but Shen Zhiqi was very interested in what she didn't know, "Could it be that you don't have these things in Tiangong Pavilion, so you don't know how?"

No, there are Tiangong Pavilions... Tang Ying's face was full of indescribable expressions, "The only thing I can't do is sing and interpret the dialogues of several people."

This may be the only setback she encountered in her study career, which almost ruined her all-round talent.Fortunately, there is still no problem with the production skills of shadow puppetry. As for the performing arts, Tang Ying managed to avoid them cleverly when he was studying, and no one noticed that it was wrong.

If Shen Zhiqi hadn't seen the video and asked her to perform on a whim, this secret should have been kept forever.

Shen Zhiqi didn't quite understand what Tang Ying meant by "can't" at first, but later on she found out that she couldn't sing because she was tone deaf and couldn't sing anything in tune.As for acting, she doesn't even have the slightest bit of talent, no matter how she imitates, she still uses her own tone and expression.On the other hand, she has a calm temperament, speaks and acts smoothly, has no expressiveness at all, and is not suitable for performing on stage at all.

Knowing this, Shen Zhiqi seemed to know a little secret that only belonged to two people, and he was so happy that it was not normal.

Tang Ying, who was asked by Shen Zhiqi to sing a song, leaned on the sofa and stared at her with dead eyes. Shen Zhiqi smirked for a while, and gradually realized that the atmosphere was not right. When he met Tang Ying's gaze, he quickly raised his hands in surrender, "That's right. It suddenly occurred to me that there was still something to be done in the studio that I hadn't explained, so I'll go out first and come back to have dinner with you in the evening!"

Then he kept walking, and was blown out of the door like a gust of wind.

When Tang Ying came back to his senses, there was no one in sight.She shook her head, expressing helplessness towards Shen Zhiqi's temperament.But with such a reminder, Tang Ying also thought it would be interesting to do a shadow play.Although she herself can't act, Shen Zhiqi's jumping up and down temperament makes it suitable for this at first glance.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of modern society should be the abundance of materials. No matter what it is, there are only things you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy.So after making a decision, Shen Zhiqi quickly purchased all the materials and began to prepare for making shadow puppets.

The first step in making a shadow puppet is to clean the skin.Most of the shadow puppetry uses cow, sheep and donkey skins, among which cow skin is the most used.After cleaning it, it is repeatedly soaked and scraped layer by layer, and the final product is thin and translucent, with a uniform texture, just like translucent glass.

The second step is to carve the characters.

The content of shadow puppetry performances is very wide, but folklore, historical romances, and martial arts cases are the most popular. Tang Ying finally chose a passage from "Legend of the White Snake" as a base, and first made a sketch design on paper, and then disassembled the cowhide. Into every detail, according to the same description.

Then engraving.Carve and draw the characters on the leather according to the pattern.This process is very delicate and complicated. There are twenty or thirty kinds of tools alone, and various formulas have also been derived.In the long historical evolution, a set of unique skills has also been formed.

After that comes coloring.The colors used for shadow puppets are basically only red, yellow, blue, green, and black, which are not mixed and diluted. Therefore, the colors are pure and gorgeous, and the contrast is very strong.

Then there is the most difficult and crucial step in making shadow puppetry, which is water ironing.This step is mainly to evaporate the water in the cowhide, and at the same time let the coloring be eaten into the skin, so that the color of the finished shadow puppet will not fade for a long time, and it will not be distorted and deformed, so it can be stored for a long time.

After the production is completed, the various parts are connected with threads, and the shadow play is completed.When in use, bamboo sticks are installed on the shadow puppets, which is convenient for manipulating the shadow puppets to make various vivid movements.

In addition to shadow puppets, the screens used in the performance also need to be specially made.After the white gauze is polished with fish oil, it is crisp and translucent, and the shadow puppet sticks close to the screen. When the light shines, the hollowed-out figures and colorful colors appear very vivid.

Because the time required for each step is not short, Tang Ying only took part of his free time to make it, and he managed to hide it from Shen Zhiqi, and never found out that she was doing this.It wasn't until the finished product was freshly baked that Tang Ying put it in a box and held it in front of Shen Zhiqi, and she said in surprise and joy, "Didn't you say you can't?"

"I won't, but you will." Tang Ying looked at Shen Zhiqi sincerely.

Meeting her eyes full of sincerity, Shen Zhiqi couldn't say "I don't know how" either. She scratched her head and could only say, "...I will try my best?"

I have seen a lot of "Legend of the New White Snake", but I have basically never been in contact with the operas of "Legend of the White Snake".If you want to learn now, you can only learn everything from scratch.

However, Shen Zhiqi's so-called "reluctance" was just to put on a show in front of Tang Ying, and soon he happily invited a professional teacher to teach him.Not to mention that she herself is very interested in these things, and it's not a bad thing to learn more, even if Tang Ying rarely asks her once, it's a desperate effort to do it!

There is a skill that my girlfriend thinks I should be able to.

Shen Zhiqi has no worries about tone insufficiency, and his goal is not ambitious, that is, to learn a small part of the libretto by surprise, so it is not difficult, and within half a month, he has learned it to a decent degree.That day, she finished her cram school, and when she returned home, she happily took out the shadow puppet to arrange it, and formally sang a section to Tang Ying.

"Suddenly, a young man strolled by the lake, just like Luoyang Dao met Pan An by chance. This heart is always in the air, but why is it so violent today?"

Listen to the libretto, every word and every word, it is clearly her mood when facing Tang Ying.

Shen Zhiqi was still high-spirited before learning, and planned to play a game for the elders at home when he learned it, but after finishing learning, he immediately put this decision behind him and made up his mind to treat this game as a small game between two people. Tang Ying sang as soon as she wanted to hear her, and never showed it in front of others.

After a short verse, Shen Zhiqi removed the curtain and turned on the lights again, feeling a secret sense of pleasure that just ended with Tang Ying.

"How is my singing?" She leaned on Tang Ying and asked.

"Very good." Tang Ying turned his head and kissed her face, "Your reward."

"It's not enough." Shen Zhiqi caught up with the lips she was about to move away, and stuck them.For her reward, she had to get it by herself, and she had to enjoy herself to the fullest.

……

He was so busy that he could barely feel the passage of time. By the time Shen Zhiqi came back to his senses, winter had come completely, and the Spring Festival was just around the corner.She had to start packing for herself and Tang Ying, preparing to go to Germany to celebrate the festival with Shen Zhijun.

Fortunately, Shen Zhifei was also going with him, and he had serious business to discuss this time, so he not only brought his wife and daughter, but also company employees with him. The entire business class was full of them, and the journey was lively , but it dilutes Shen Zhiqi's nervousness a bit.
