Chapter 245 What's the new play about? Gu Cheng's suggestion
After the workshop, Daorueng really revised his script, almost based on the performance of Qi Mo and Gu Cheng.
After reading the script, the director began to doubt his filming experience over the past few months.
But the revisions were not entirely without benefit; they actually completed all the additional shoots in just one day.
Later you just need to edit and add this part in.
In general.
Although the director was shocked, he was still very happy.
Especially after the formal shooting, the two handsome faces are indeed very attractive. Although one of them cannot appear on camera, it does not affect his appreciation.
What made him even happier was Qi Mo's performance after he appeared on camera, which almost showed his original appearance 100%, and of course the same was true for Gu Cheng who could not appear on camera.
You know, being on camera is always a topic for celebrities.
Some people look better when they don't move.
Some people must move to be beautiful.
Some people are obviously very beautiful in real life, but they don’t look photogenic when photographed by camera and their beauty doesn’t show at all.
fortunately.
Qi Mo and Gu Cheng have great expressiveness in front of the camera.
I believe the final film will be even better!
The director was already very confident about his play, and now he is even more looking forward to its performance after it is broadcast.
The only pity is that Qi Mo insisted that Gu Cheng could not show his entire face!
at the same time.
After finishing their work, the two of them spent the rest of their time with each other.
Stay in the hotel every day.
Even if we do nothing, we can still be together.
Time passes day by day.
Annual leave is over.
No matter how much they were reluctant to leave each other, Gu Cheng had to rush back in the end.
The two of them once again entered a long-distance relationship.
Gu Cheng returned to a semi-closed state.
Qi Mo also returned to China after recording the song and became busy as well.
The virtual Peking Opera show is preparing for a grand opening.
Theaters usually open for performances on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is called "opening the box."
Just because Cui Li himself has a Meipai opening show, the virtual Peking Opera show is not restricted by time. As long as the troupe is ready, they can start singing.
The most important thing in performing an opening play is to highlight the festive atmosphere. The repertoire of the opening play should be solemn and popular from the form to the content. There are many details to pay attention to when determining the repertoire, choosing the actors, and the order of performance, and no matter what, nothing can be sloppy.
The previous "Painted Skin" is definitely not applicable, they have to prepare a new play.
In addition to the need to update the repertoire, the New Year's opening play has another special feature, which is that a series of auspicious programs such as "Jumping for Promotion", "Jumping for the God of Wealth", "Boy Sweeping the Stage", and "Heavenly Official's Blessing" will be performed before the main show, so the show will start an hour or even two hours earlier than usual.
The so-called God of Wealth Dance does not have any storyline. It is just that two actors play the roles of the civil and military gods of wealth respectively, and perform a festive dance on the stage.
This is easy to do. Everyone except Qi Mo can perform on stage.
Not to mention that after the leaders of the three factions made their stance clear, both Elder Li and Elder Qian sent disciples who were willing to give it a try.
In an instant, the troupe of more than 10 people instantly became a troupe of nearly 30 people.
Everyone was gathered, a professional venue was rented, and everything was ready, but everyone was at a loss as to what play to perform.
If you are singing a completely new play, it will take a lot of time to polish it.
Cui Li and Zhang Quande have quite a few notebooks they have written, but just because they are familiar with them doesn’t mean others are familiar with them.
But if it is an old play, it is not easy to innovate it.
The most important thing is that everyone in the troupe now has their own strengths and is different from others.
Qi Mo was even an amateur before, and no matter how talented he was, it would take time.
Everyone was having a hard time choosing the unboxing show.
Without a direction, you naturally can't go well.
Qi Mo was also very distressed, until Gu Cheng said: "Why don't you try to adapt Painted Skin again?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Another adaptation of Painted Skin?"
"Yes, look at the popular TV series back then. Even in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, not every story ends in a bad way, and not all female ghosts are bad. Isn't Nie Xiaoqian an exception? And White Snake was also adapted to a certain extent, but it was even more popular with the audience. Besides, not all men are unfaithful."
Qi Mo's eyes lit up when he heard Gu Cheng say that.
"Right! We always think about it within the context of the original era, but this play could actually be performed completely differently today!"
"That's right. You just need to cut out some clips, add some more, cut out the bloody and violent parts, and add a cheerful and festive Xun style. Perhaps this play will be more popular than your previous Painted Skin."
"Well, in today's Peking Opera or Chinese opera circles, when a successful play emerges, everyone consciously imitates it. The result is that although there are many plays produced, most of them are copies. But in fact, as long as there is a good adaptation, such as the "rickshaw dance", "drunken dance", "listening to the fetal sound" and other body movements in "Camel Xiangzi", which highly Peking Operaize, artify and beautify everyday movements, the audience will praise it. We Chinese have so many stories that can be adapted. This has also led to people being more accustomed to making changes based on existing foundations and sticking to existing storylines. But in fact, the cultural needs of modern people are different! For example, "Romance in the Rain" was once a hit, but now it has been regarded as a distorted value! The same is true for plays, they can be adapted! They can even be original!"
Qi Mo became more and more excited as he spoke.
It’s not enough for Peking Opera to just have new singing styles!
It’s not enough for the Li faction to break out!
It’s not enough to just adapt a masterpiece!
Why can’t Peking Opera have plays that belong to this era like TV dramas?
A play that fits the times...
Just thinking about this, Qi Mo felt full of motivation!
"Did you know? Mei Zu once said: The old operas we perform are all based on ancient historical facts. Although the content of some operas is educational and can have some effect on the audience, if we directly adopt modern current events and adapt them into new plays, wouldn't it be more intimate and interesting to the audience? The effect may be greater than the old opera. What we really need to change in Painted Skin is not the singing part! It's the core! The core that belongs to us!"
"Why does a female ghost have to use her sex to seduce people? She can resist her instincts, but what she's really fighting against is her origins. Why can't she believe that man can conquer nature? Even scholars fight against the inherent rules of society! Countless times, we've hoped Xu Xian would be a man and protect White Snake. Such an idea was simply unreasonable in ancient times, but it's happening in modern times! That's right, the core of this play is no longer about ghosts and gods, but rather represents our new attitude! The attitude of a new era!"
"Hahahaha, the success of Nie Xiaoqian's movie has actually told us! We are not fighting alone!"
"Perhaps one day this attitude will change, or even be criticized, but that's the progress of the times! The Peking Opera we want to create is a witness to an era! Just like the scripts left by our ancestors, it can help future generations understand everything about the time!"
"Ahhh, love you, love you, this is a really great idea! I'll go find Master and the others."
