Chapter 96 Good-looking is never a play
The four of them finished their beef noodles and chatting. The time was already six forty.
The performance starts at 7 o'clock, and it's time to enter the venue now.
Cao Shuxin and his team's tickets are collective tickets and special tickets, so the seats are relatively back and with Jiangshan, and Dong Xuan is not together.
Before entering the venue, the old classmates left their mobile phone numbers and dormitory phone numbers. After making an appointment to contact each other when they had time, Cao Shuxin then gathered with his classmates in his school to check in and enter the venue.
"Okay, stop watching, it's time for us to enter."
Dong Xuan pushed Jiang Shan and reminded him.
At first she thought this would be a perfect date, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen in the middle.
You said you were jealous?
He is an old classmate and he has nothing to do with his ways, but he just feels disgusted.
Besides, I'm jealous of my yarn?
In what capacity to be jealous?
He looked at the silly man checking tickets beside him. If it weren't for his good looks, Dong Xuan would have slapped him.
Why did you pay more attention to him in the art exam?
Isn't it because he is handsome?
Dong Xuan followed Jiang Shan and thought to himself.
Enter, find a seat, and wait.
Ballets are different movies. If it weren’t for the theater’s regulations and the fact that there were no sales around, Jiang Shan would have been preparing to come in with a bucket of popcorn.
That's why he said he doesn't match ballet!
The audience of ballet in China is very small. If you really want to compare it, it is even smaller than the audience of dramas.
If you have to compare a genre of drama, Peking Opera is more suitable.
Seeing the comparison between the two, many people will probably exclaim, how can we compare Peking Opera?
Ballet abroad has a history of hundreds of years, isn’t it like our Peking Opera?
Because no matter what kind of foreign things you enter the country, they will look fashionable.
It is actually not much different for foreigners to watch Peking Opera and ballet.
Before watching the ballet, Jiang Shan did some homework.
Compared to dramas and movies that emphasize the expression of storylines, the focus of ballet is not on telling stories, but on the toes of the dancer to experience the pure beauty of the human body and life. This unique beauty cannot be enjoyed in other art categories.
As a unique artistic expression, ballet uses the art of body and toes to express pure and beautiful emotions, and is more inclined to lyricism.
It is said that the director should learn to appreciate beauty and understand how to understand the emotions in it. After the performance officially started, Jiang Shan stared at the actress's long legs.
That's so beautiful!
After passing the lsp stage at the beginning, Jiang Shan focused on the stage design of the show.
I can only say that Lao Touzi is worthy of being Lao Touzi, and his background in art is different.
Ordinary audiences may only feel beautiful after seeing a certain scene, while Jiang Shan focuses more on finding out the ‘why’.
Just like the two neat rows of big red lanterns lit up in the opening scene, in addition to the decorative nature of the stage, it also gave people a strong impact. The "lighting stick" that directly related to the "big red lantern" symbolizes the supreme authority of the master and even the social power at that time.
While watching the performance, Jiang Shan unknowingly began to analyze audio-visual language and stage art.
"The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" is adapted from Su Tong's "The Wife and Concubine".
This loss of traditional Chinese culture makes people reflect...
(no!)
"The Wives and Concubines" mainly tells the story of Song Lian, a female college student who received new ideas, who was educated in a new idea, her father died because of her family's decline. She was helpless and sold by her stepmother to an old family to become a fourth concubine, and competed with other concubines for the favor of the fifty-year-old man.
In the days that followed, Songlian was gradually corrupted by this family, but her spirit made her unable to be as casual as the third concubine Mei Shan, and she was not as versatile as the second concubine Zhuo Yun.
In the end, he ended up in a crazy ending because he saw the third concubine who had an affair.
Lao Mouzi's version of the ballet "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" subversively deals with the characters and plots in the original work.
Only the third concubine and other characters were retained, and the doctor who had an affair turned into a martial artist who was childhood sweetheart with the third concubine.
The third concubine was forced to marry into the Chen family and was depressed all day long. Later, she met a childhood sweetheart at a church meeting. Later, she was discovered by the jealous second concubine. After the complaint, the master killed the pair of miserable mandarin ducks and solved the problem of lighting the lamp privately and violated the family rules.
The adaptation of identity cannot conceal the essence of affair.
The plot is clichéd and not bad. Let’s put it aside for now. Jiang Shan is really fascinated by the stage beauty.
As for the stage design of this drama, "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" can be said to have achieved its ultimate goal.
The costumes of Peking Opera, old-style buildings, cheongsams, lighting and the series of big red lanterns that shocked the opening all add a lot of color to this ballet.
At the end of the first act, it is about the first bridal chamber between the master and the third concubine. This is undoubtedly a nightmare for the third concubine who has just entered the Chen family's deep courtyard.
Regarding the display of rape, the stage play specially borrows the methods of shadow puppets.
Behind that thin layer of scenes, the third concubine tried desperately to resist Mr. Chen. She fled helplessly, trying to break through the barrier again and again, but was bound again and again. The shadow puppet effect amplified Mr. Chen's beastly pursuit image.
Then the third concubine broke through the curtain under Master Chen's relentless pursuit.
Jiang Shan was fascinated by the sight, and Dong Xuan, who was standing beside him, couldn't bear to watch it.
At some point, she quietly turned her upper body to Jiang Shan, grasping his cuff with one hand and covering her eyes with the other hand.
It was even more bold when it was bloody for the first time.
Huge and gorgeous curtains flooded the stage, and covered the stage with gorgeous red satin rolling over Mr. Chen and the third concubine, rendering the plot of the first night to the extreme.
When everything subsided, the third concubine could only slowly poke out of the red silk at midnight, curled up and sobbed.
This red book, born for festiveness, adds to the sadness of this scene, the girl loses her virginity...
Since the ballet was staged last year, criticisms against Lao Toozi have been constantly being heard.
In fact, the audience who criticized him just thought that this play was not "ballet" enough, and believed that Lao Tou was an expert in movies, but he was a layman in ballet, and he could actually make the "dumb" ballet that had been "dumb" for hundreds of years speak human words.
When Mr. Chen on the stage read the lines, Jiang Shan was also shocked.
There are very few toe movements in the play, and the body language is minimal. The expression techniques are too realistic. The real places are too real, and the virtual places are too empty.
As for ballet art, Jiang Shan has nothing to say, and he doesn't understand it very well, but when it comes to stage design and stage expression, Lao Touzi is undoubtedly very careful in his grasp, and he can't accept this.
Two words, beautiful!
