Chapter 492 Don’t let the guests take the blame!
Just as the final preparations were being made backstage.
The important "boss" has already arrived at the scene. Under the leadership of the deputy head of the song and dance troupe, he is inspecting some of the arrangements behind the show in the Southern Yunnan Opera and Dance Theater.
"Secretary Wang, these are some of our current arrangements."
".Well, okay, very good."
Secretary Wang nodded.
But it seems that he is not as happy as he seems on the surface.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke frankly.
"I'm really still not reassured."
"Ah, don't get me wrong."
Secretary Wang smiled and frowned slightly.
"As for the follow-up issues, we have also made a decision. If the results are not good, the main creators and initiators of the creative team, led by Sang Lian and Li Jinglin, will stand up and take the blame, transfer the negative to themselves, and will not be involved. To my fellow countrymen.”
"You tell them not to feel any pressure and to show the original ecology, then follow the most original ecology. As for the subsequent evaluation."
Success or failure is not important at all. Even if you fail, you can still draw lessons from it.
The deputy captain shook his head and smiled slightly.
But Secretary Wang's willingness to stand up and take responsibility was indeed a bit surprising.
At this point, Secretary Wang sighed.
No one dares to say that it will definitely be successful. After all, it still needs to be tested by the audience. No one can say whether the most ethnic and rural performance can be accepted by the aesthetic tendencies of modern audiences.
"Li Jinglin is not from southern Yunnan, he is a guest."
"I can accept any negative reviews, but these negative reviews must not attack folk culture, as well as these guests and fellow villagers who are willing to promote the cause of art!"
"Secretary Wang, to tell you the truth, I have actually thought about this as well."
The words of the deputy captain were really beyond Secretary Wang's expectations.
Secretary Wang was stunned.
A national work is very tentative and uncertain.
Although moved, he shook his head.
Secretary Wang’s concerns are still traceable.
The group of people came to the auditorium and sat down.
"From the beginning, the encouragement mechanism was deliberately downplayed and even avoided the so-called success or failure issue, so that the fellow villagers had no psychological worries from the beginning."
"It's just that if the audience's response is not as good as expected, will it damage the confidence of the fellow villagers?"
Will the fellow villagers feel that their own culture is not welcomed, or that they did not perform well, and will blame themselves and lose confidence?
"Original ecology is a good thing, and I support it very much, but after all, it's very different from regular performances, so it's hard not to worry."
At this juncture, everyone was very nervous.
Who can't support the development of this national art?
But what really worries me is the emotions of the performers.
"."
"During the rehearsal, we did not use any honors or successes or failures to motivate the fellow villagers. From the beginning, we told the fellow villagers that we were just going to have fun and show the local life to them. More people watch.”
Will anyone attack these national cultures?
"Can we let the guests take the blame? Is there anyone who treats guests like this? This is such a child's play."
The sentiments of fellow villagers.
"I'm not worried about anything else. Even if the performance fails, it's no problem. We can't afford to lose. If one try doesn't work, let's just keep trying!"
But if these ethnic minority compatriots who came out of the mountains and villages were allowed to experience failure, then Secretary Wang was really worried about the consequences.
This has to be asked.
If such an attempt fails, even if the experience can be summed up, it will be a pity.
Well prepared, maybe aware.
Everyone silently hoped in their hearts that the results of the rehearsal would successfully meet expectations.
soon.
"The preparations for the work are indeed in place, but..."
But who is Li Jinglin? This is not someone from the southern Yunnan literary and art system, let alone a southern Yunnan person.
If he is a professional performer, Secretary Wang will not even ask about it.
The deputy leader nodded.
You can obviously stay out of it.
You're an art person and you don't even have this level of professionalism, so what else are you doing?
"I don't know much about art. I'm just worried about whether other audiences can accept such a performance?"
On the stage, Sang Lian was busy mobilizing the actors.
After everything was done, Sang Lian shouted to the upstairs not far away.
"Alin, you can start preparing."
The figure upstairs was clearly Li Jinglin.
After making an "OK" gesture, he came to the music control room.
Put on your headphones and connect to Sang Lian's headset.
The left ear is for monitoring and communication, and the right ear is for feedback.
Of the three microphones in front of you, one is used for communication on stage and for amplification, and should be turned off for formal rehearsals.
As for the remaining two, one is connected to Sang Lian's headset, and the other is connected to the scheduling in the director's room.
soon.
The director's room sent the "start" signal.
After the lights gradually dimmed.
Li Jinglin slowly began to push the volume buttons, fade in and out, and stared closely at the music band displayed on the main console.
The show also officially started.
At the beginning, the "boss" who came to observe, as well as the cast and crew in front of and behind the scenes, were very nervous.
Some are afraid that something will go wrong, while others have never seen it, leaving them unsure.
But as the show started, both the condition of the cast and crew and the mood of the "bosses" began to gradually get better. The beginning of chaos, the rising of the sun.
62 drums played in unison.
The glory of the sun had just passed, and a huge water curtain fell on the stage.
Secretary Wang was completely amazed, and even doubted for a while, how advanced is the technology of this opera and dance theater? What's up with this special effect?
wrong!
After this thought briefly crossed his mind, Secretary Wang was shocked to see the water curtain hitting the actors who were struggling to play the drums, causing splashes of water.
"This is actually real water! Really water?!"
Such a shock.
It didn't gradually dissipate.
The water and fire of nature are also real water and fire on the stage.
Real props.
The actors wear more than 120 unique masks, all of which are derived from the national characteristics of major ethnic minorities.
Not professionally customized at all.
It was simply brought by the fellow villagers from home.
And as the show begins.
Secretary Wang became more and more relieved.
Although I say I don’t understand art, how can I not have any ability to discern it?
The quality of this performance is indeed different.
But the difference is not whether they are "professional or not".
It's because these original actors have a wildness that comes from the original ecology.
Yes, such wildness is a surefire success when it comes to expressing the impression of ancient themes.
The joint structure of Sang Lian and Li Jinglin not only completely downplayed the problems of "non-professional" and "no stage experience" of the actors, but also turned these "shortcomings" in the traditional sense into ancient textures. "Wild" characteristics.
On the contrary, the tension of the stage performance increased exponentially.
Effortless dance skills.
But it is full of folk and rural atmosphere, showing the understanding of life and nature by the ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan.
The sun drum of the Jinuo people, the mang drum of the Hani people, the copper mang of the Wa people, the elephant foot drum of the Jingpo people, and the sacred drum of the Yi people.
Dance, folk songs.
Continuously showing.
Until the Cigarette Box Dance comes on.
Cigarette Box Dance is one of the soundtrack works independently created by Li Jinglin.
The proportion of Li Jinglin's soundtracks for the program can be said to be quite small, not a few at all.
The name of this soundtrack is also very simple, just called "Cigarette Box Dance".
And when it begins to enter this section, with the rhythmic drums, the original ethnic singing method comes into play.
At the beginning, the audience who came to watch did not realize that this was an independently created work.
However, this faint piano background is very interesting.
It does not destroy this original beauty, but instead has a sense of mystery, stretching the layers and contrasting it with the drums and songs, which can produce a stronger and fuller impact on the entire stage.
However, this folk song part is very short.
Immediately we entered the dance part.
Bang a few drums.
When the music sounded again, it was in the background of the ethereal sound constructed by the flute, a national instrument, and the gentle singing of folk songs.
The sound of a very modern electric guitar sounded.
However, this electric guitar is not overly distorted, and the ripples produced appear to be quite gentle.
There is no sense of violation and.
The audience didn't even realize it.
The music here is a completely modern, even popular soundtrack.
When the violin rises.
A very foul feeling came to my heart inexplicably.
The movements of the cigarette box dance are very strange.
It's so weird that it's hard to understand.
However, with the music and the emotional trend depicted by the music, it seems that
I seem to understand.
How should the primitive worship of life be expressed through art?
Sang Lian gave a good answer.
Not Y-y, not demonic, just a little bit of just the right hint.
At first glance, people will understand that this is JW imitating various animals.
But it doesn't look indecent at all.
How to use art to depict issues related to
The ancestors of ancient southern Yunnan worshiped Shengzhi, which originated from the harsh conditions. It was a respect for life that life was precious, and it also expressed the mutual support and warmth between husband and wife.
Love, not desire.
The expression should never be explicit, or desire, or even astringent.
What should be expressed is a sacredness with a sense of ritual.
This is how Secretary Wang feels.
You can probably understand what is being said.
But... I'm a little unsure.
But every time he felt uncertain, the hint came again and confirmed Secretary Wang's thoughts.
There are actions that are very similar to that.
But it's not obscene at all, and it's fleeting.
Keep reading, this elegant artistic treatment removes the part of desire in the worship of life, leaving behind the discussion of the sanctity of life.
