Chapter 230 Girl Can
"Everyone has the information of the fifty participating performance groups and the programs submitted this time," Director Hu motioned for everyone to pick up the information and said seriously, "Our task today is to watch all the program recordings so that we have a clear idea of what they will do and see how they perform on the spot tomorrow. We will initially select thirty out of the fifty programs, and eliminate ten more in the second rehearsal, leaving only twenty programs to enter the finals.
Each department will perform its duties and coordinate with each other within half a month to present a cultural feast to the leaders. "
After saying that, the assistants drew the heavy curtains, and the projector placed in the corner began to squeak, and the beam of light was projected onto the white wall.
An Zhixia also used a mobile phone to record the video in segments in the supermarket.
Due to backward technology, everyone's performance methods were simple and exaggerated, and each performer's face was painted like a monkey's butt, the overall effect of the show was extremely poor. The only thing worth praising was the performers' passion and love for the stage and art.
At least for An Zhixia, who has participated in and watched high-level international art feasts in later generations, it is really unbearable to watch.
She supported her chin and wrote quickly on the paper in the dim light, wanting to see if she could hand in a satisfactory answer within half a month on her own.
We watched twenty shows in the morning, and everyone was enjoying them. On the way to the cafeteria, they couldn't help but comment, "The quality of this year's shows is quite high. There are actually two shows that can be compared with those of the Yongyi Performance Troupe. I wonder who wrote them. It can't be a young person, right? That would make us old guys have no food to eat."
"That shouldn't be the case. In recent years, universities have been closed, and there are many young people who have not received systematic education who have become self-taught. Isn't it the foundation of old guys like us that has supported the entire performing arts industry?"
The group began to compliment each other, and Director Hu in the back blushed. "Well, Mr. Xiao An, what do you think of the twenty programs you just watched?"
"Director Hu, you should have kept the videos of the performance group competitions in previous years, right? I would like to take a look at them for reference in the evening to see what the overall performance of such a program looks like," An Zhixia said with a chuckle instead of a direct answer.
"Okay," Director Hu nodded, and called the assistant to the side, gave him a few instructions, and then said with a smile: "Last year, Yongyi Performance Troupe got a lot of attention thanks to Teacher Xiaoan's program. This year it's Huasheng's turn, but I think the other two programs today are also very exciting, and they should be able to advance directly to the official performance.
From my understanding of their performance group, this program does not seem to be created by the usual scriptwriters in the group, but rather has traces of imitating Yongyi programs. However, this imitation technique is very clever, fully absorbing the performance forms of several Yongyi programs, breaking them down and using them flexibly.
What does Teacher Xiao An think? "
"It's indeed okay, but the performers' performance was too intense and the transition of emotions was unnatural, which greatly reduced the presentation effect of the entire show. Furthermore, the selection and insertion of background music, stage lighting and sound effects were not satisfactory." An Zhixia nodded and commented particularly pertinently.
Director Hu choked up a bit. "Stage performances are usually exaggerated, just like the makeup of actors. They are expressive and appealing only when presented to hundreds of audiences. It's not like movies and TV shows, where the audience can capture the actors' subtle expressions."
"I know," An Zhixia has performed in various forms of stage plays, and of course knows the difference between stage plays and film and television dramas. "But no matter which form of performance, it is important to be too much or too little. There are many forms of stage expression. Why must we rely too much on language and body language? For example, if I want to create a passionate song, I will not just focus on the rhythm and melody. I have to let the various parts of the song, the lyrics, the coordination of various instruments, and the singers interweave together. Let the audience feel the passion, this is the real passion, not what I deliberately show."
"This detail can't be worked out in a day or two, right?" Director Hu quickly understood what An Zhixia meant, and sighed, "Besides, the various performance troupes in Kyoto learn from each other several times a year. Whether it's creation or performance form, they have already formed a pattern that is difficult to break."
"Yes," An Zhixia chuckled and said, "So I didn't set too high a standard for them. Instead, I planned to change the performance mode of the entire group competition, add some fun and story, string them together into a thread, and downplay the shortcomings of the program."
If you don’t have good looks, use filters to make up for it; if your singing is off, use tuning to make it better!
Director Hu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Change the performance mode?"
"Well, we need to give full play to the lubricating role of the host, and also highlight the theme of the group competition, and frame these twenty programs into a large stage play." This is the method An Zhixia figured out in the morning. I believe that this form of performance will definitely be very popular.
Director Hu thought about what she said, clapped his hands vigorously, and said excitedly: "You are really good, girl. According to what you said, the previous format of one program and one announcement was too rigid. Anyone can give blind instructions to the people on the stage and get a similar effect. How can you really deserve the title of overall planning?
Although you just proposed it, I can't wait to see the final stage effect! Let's go, let's go eat first, and after watching the show in the afternoon, I will call the director and production team to study with you in the evening."
An Zhixia smiled and did not refuse. She wanted to improve the level of the entire industry little by little under her leadership. In fact, everyone had the potential, and all they needed was a leader to constantly break the shackles and liberate everyone's minds, so that the industry could usher in a grand occasion of flourishing and contending.
She firmly believes that the advanced development of one industry will surely drive the development of other industries and usher in the convenient Internet information age sooner, so that she can lead her children and grandchildren to dominate online games while she is still nimble enough!
The troupe's cafeteria provided a special meal for their activity group, providing each person with a boiled egg, a spoonful of braised pork, two spoonfuls of shrimp, a portion of braised eggplant, a portion of vinegar-fried bean sprouts, a bowl of thick millet porridge, and rice and steamed buns to fill them up!
In the eyes of the troupe staff, An Zhixia was a melon. In the morning, everyone knew that the white-bearded bald old man, Teacher An, was a pretty girl. While she was eating, people came and went around her, and soon the seat was full.
Whenever she looked up, everyone would immediately bury their heads in their food; whenever she lowered her head, everyone would crane their necks to look at her.
