Back to the Republic of China as a director

Ying Xiaonong took a few sips of tea, he was tired from the quarrel just now, and now he said it was a facial control attack, but he had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to rest for a while, so as to humiliate the little iron rooster.

Ji Shuangyu became half a tool person, but he didn't care.

He had watched the excitement in Changle Theater several times, and he had already figured it out, so he couldn't help but speak, not for justice, not for the limelight, but just to hold back and take the opportunity to get some meat...

If it were another theater with a good business, he really might not have a place to talk.

Seeing that the scene became quiet because everyone was speechless, Ji Shuangyu hurriedly said: "It is said that night operas were not allowed to be sung in the previous court, but later they were allowed to sing, but they could only place candles, which were enough to illuminate people's faces.

"That's why we call it 'listening to operas' rather than 'watching operas'. The main thing is to listen. Until later, the water moon lamps were hung in the garden, which were as bright as day, and gradually there were lanterns, and they also imitated the sets of Western dramas. Draw the scenery."

This is what Ji Shuangyu heard from his elders before, and it is also a stage history that is clear to the experts present, but I don't know why he mentions it.

Jiang Sanjin also looked at Ji Shuangyu nervously. After all, he was the one who brought him here, and he had to be responsible.But he didn't know what Ji Shuangyu was going to say, and whether he should stop her.

However, Jiang Sanjin saw that Ji Shuangyu's eyes were as bright as snow, and it looked like he was pointing out the ranks of the players.

Although I am just a trickster and never open my mouth on stage, but I am very familiar with the procedures of rehearsal, and I am very confident in my preparations, even the troupe leader can't point out anything.

So, is it possible that Ji Shuangyu has a plan?

Ji Shuangyu talked eloquently: "Think about the lack of light in the night show, that is, what happened 20 years ago. At that time, even if there was a trick on the stage, the audience couldn't see it clearly, and it was useless. But it can be said that the trick is useless. Doesn't it attract an audience? It just doesn't fit!"

Now is the time when the traditional opera dance art technology is affected by the new trend of the times, and when it is just beginning to compete for reform, the most popular in the country is the Caitouxi, which is to add organ sets to various operas.

It's not the same as the melancholy imagined by modern people. It's a bit like a group of demons dancing wildly at the moment, and the planners are crazy to add gimmicks.

People use their knowledge of optics and electricity to add organs, lighting and magic to the play.What kind of trapeze rails, movable flaps, real boa constrictors on stage, and even striptease...however exciting you come.

He also learned the style of Western drama sets, and hired an artist to draw realistic scenery as the background, which was very popular.

The citizens whose entertainment life is not as exciting as the later generations are fascinated by it.

The fascination started in Shanghai, and major cities and types of operas also competed to reproduce it, which was indispensable for a while.

However, no matter how exquisite the scenery is, it may not have such a good effect in the decades before when the technology was even more backward. It is impossible to see clearly.

"So the word 'suitable' is very important. There are many tricks in the drama performed by the host family. Although it is not particularly exciting, it is not the key to failure. The cooperation between the musicians and the protagonist is not a tacit understanding, but they have a solid foundation. The stage is rounded. The crux Nor can that be said in them.

"In my opinion, the problem actually lies in that you only want to have a lively show, which should be more fresh, and you have invited the first-class martial arts boss Ying to come, but you didn't think about expanding the stage. For example, Guan Yu's nine-foot If you are tall enough to juggle knives in the miscellaneous room, will you be able to do well?"

It's not that it's ugly, it's just that it can't play its due effect at all, and it's even greatly reduced.It was as if the big show had played out the other night.

This is a very simple truth, and no one in Changle Theater could explain it before.

In modern times, just pull someone over, and after watching too much, I can summarize some points for you based on experience: blockbuster movies are best to go to theaters with imax giant screens, intense action movies are best watched in 3D, and 4D theaters are careful to be dizzy...

At this moment, perhaps experienced people can feel that, for example, actors will gradually figure out what kind of strength to use in large venues and small venues, but there is also a lack of summary and promotion.

After all, at this time, the beauty of opera dance has not yet formed a theory, and there is no applicable rule.

At present, this industry generally lacks technical talents, and theater troupes and theaters are basically separated and mobile.The owners of theaters want to make money, so I don't usually think about whether I should change the size of the stage in the theater, and how big it should be so that the audience can look comfortable.

In Shanghai, there are still more talents in this area. Try different frame-style stages, central stage, live-action stage, or fan-shaped stage, circular stage, horseshoe-shaped stage...

In Changle Theater, no one really has this knowledge.

Ji Shuangyu is very familiar with work such as scene scheduling, and can tell at a glance that it is not suitable, and what is not suitable, and to what extent it needs to be changed.

When he said it, an actor with rich stage experience like Ying Xiaonong, combined with his own experience, really felt a little enlightened.

Xu Xinchu didn't believe it at the beginning: "Not all the theaters are this size, they are almost the same. Our stage is quite big, and we have been performing like this for so many years."

What makes him even more unbelievable is that you said that the new play failed just because of the size of the stage?

Ji Shuangyu said relaxedly: "But your scene is too lively. For example, the lighting design you learned from Shanghai is also arranged on a larger stage. It is not appropriate to copy it."

What he said just now is to emphasize this truth.Fit is really important to the effect.

Changle Theater can seat hundreds of people, and the stage is not too small, but compared with the scene designed by Xu Xinyue, it is still a bit out of balance.After all, he is still a layman, and if he is going to change to those experienced set designers in Shanghai, he may be able to tell.

Xu Xinyue was so surprised that he went to Shanghai to study alone, and the local stage where he learned technology was indeed a Western-style stage with a big mirror frame.

He doesn't know how to use lighting, so when he came back, the lighting arrangement was completely rote. Even because the light was different from that of backstage makeup, the actor's makeup was too pale for the first time on stage...

But he doesn't understand, and neither do others.These days, no one from the peers to the audience has pointed out anything wrong.

It's this guy who's playing tricks, just looking at this, you can tell that he must have moved from a big stage, it's amazing!

Xu Xinyue was a little skeptical about the size of the stage before, but now she is convinced.

At this time, someone in Hanxi's class interrupted in a daze: "It can be seen that it is the fault of Xu Dong's family."

Xu Xinyue: "..."

Xu Xinyue immediately scolded back, and the three parties got into a mess again, and the quarrel became more intense. The point of this remark was whether Ji Shuangyu was right, and from this, it was extended to whose fault it was.

Jiang Sanjin was dumbfounded, he was surprised that Ji Shuangyu really had this ability to point out the shortcomings graciously, and he was also troubled by the way they were arguing and about to fight, "Here, Shuangyu, please persuade me."

Ji Shuangyu was hungry, so she didn't have the strength to persuade them to fight. She clasped her hands together and missed the small speakers she used on the set. She said weakly, "Stop arguing, stop arguing, please stop arguing about me."

Jiang Sanjin: "..."

Everyone: "..."

... Where is it weird?

After all, the catastrophe is at hand, and the quarrel is temporarily stopped.

Jiang Sanjin was still scratching his head, expressing that he didn't know that Ji Shuangyu understood these things, since he had obviously never been in contact with Liyuanxing before, let alone been to Shanghai.Nowadays, the most popular opera institutions all start in Shanghai, where most of the first-class background talents are concentrated.

Before Ji Shuangyu said it, he hadn't thought about how to make it perfect. The lie is so thin that it is easy to be exposed. He just said vaguely: "You don't need to work in the background, you can understand it with scientific knowledge."

Jiang Sanjin suddenly realized that Ji Shuangyu had studied with his parents, and there seemed to be a lot of books at home, some in foreign languages.Although I was tired of living after my parents passed away, it seems that I have not given up my knowledge now. It is great to be educated.

Even his tongue seemed to be sharp, the words just now were clear and organized, without any stage fright, many people under his command stumbled when they saw his boss speak.

"That's right, science, tell me about the science of the lights, and why isn't my mechanism exciting anymore?" Xu Xinyue asked anxiously.

Ji Shuangyu smiled shyly, and the faint blush added to his face.

Xu Xinyue: "Say it quickly!"

Ji Shuangyu shyly said: "Boss, this is another price."

Xu Xinyue: "..."

Xu Xinyue fell into the long exam, with her head hanging down, her facial features drooping, and she remained silent for a long time.

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

No, boss, you can't even get your money?

The head of the theater troupe couldn't help but scolded his mother, "This little chick can kill you for being so petty!"

In other words, he and the Xu family have cooperated for many years, and he can only swear directly after watching Xu Xinyue grow up.What time is this, still digging!Still picking!

Why don't you agree first?And look at this young man's ability!

At this juncture, Xu Xinyue couldn't tolerate any more, Xu Xinyue said dejectedly: "If you have given me a good idea to solve my urgent need, I will pay you another salary. Compare... compare the asking price of the set designer in Shanghai... [-]... [-]% for you."

In their hearts, Ji Shuangyu shared some knowledge, but how could it compare with the set designers in Shanghai, so giving [-] to [-]% was an extremely suitable price in Xu Xinyue's mind.

If Xu Xinyue hadn't been in a special situation, it would have been impossible for her to spend money for a stage.

Although Ji Shuangyu didn't know how much it was, but he observed his words and looked at other people's faces, and guessed that it wasn't too bad, so he agreed: "Okay, then I will teach the boss face-to-face!"

……

Ji Shuangyu and Xu Xinyue found a place to talk privately, and agreed to help him redesign the scene.

"You said you want to expand the stage, so wouldn't the set I bought be useless?" Xu Xinyue spent money to customize the set in Shanghai.

Where can I find the right talent at the moment, usually I am looking for a painter, and it has to be a realistic painting in a Western style.

The size is customized according to the original stage. If it is enlarged, the scenery will not be enough.Moreover, the asking price may be more expensive here. After all, the price of gauze in Shanghai is relatively cheap, and there are many such factories.

Ji Shuangyu said casually: "Then don't need it."

This kind of western painting style is popular nowadays, and there are at least forty or fifty sheets for a scene, and there are at least a dozen, but he looks a little awkward, and he doesn't want to continue to use it at all.

Xu Xinyue was struck by lightning: "No need? That's all money!"

Ji Shuangyu has also seen stingy benefactors, and if he is not rich, he must be generous: "Then you sell it, go back to the book and re-set the scene, let's make some Chinese style."

Xu Xinyue looked at Ji Shuangyu with contempt: "Chinese style, you mean a monotonous and old-fashioned one hanging behind the back? Our stage was set up like this before, how can anyone watch it? Now people are looking at the Western set!"

"Conservative" refers to the door curtain, the curtain that covers the wall behind the stage, also called the ledger, which was originally very simple, but gradually more embroidery was added to make it look more gorgeous.

Ji Shuangyu: "...I didn't mean that."

He thought it was funny and absurd, what kind of era was this time when demons danced wildly.

The original opera stage was indeed very simple, so now that it has been impacted, it has begun to develop rapidly, although it means that it is a bit too forceful... The majestic traditional Chinese opera still relies on Western-style sets to attract people?

If he can still accept the appropriate organization, he can't stand the oil painting style set mixed on the stage of Peking Opera.

It's just that the job is not stable at this time, so he endured it and didn't say anything for a while.

"Besides, how can we paint in time to re-set the scene? This is an urgent matter." The business is getting worse day by day, so it can't be delayed any longer, Xu Xinyue said sadly, "There is still this mechanism, I always feel that it is missing... But in Shanghai Sometimes, there are some institutions, even if you have money, you can’t learn! Do you know other institutions?"

Ji Shuangyu responded immediately. Although she didn't know what mechanisms were popular at the moment, judging from the current science and technology, it would not be too difficult to understand.

Besides, in front of investors, the most important thing is to put on a confident face that I can definitely make money for you!

So Ji Shuangyu said loudly: "I will!"

Xu Xinyue: "What do you know?"

Ji Shuangyu: "What do you want?"

Xu Xinyue: "I'll see which one you want."

Ji Shuangyu: "I'll see which one you want."

Xu Xinyue: "..."

... What the hell is this!
