The trainee starts by splitting bricks with bare hands

But now, he really couldn't help it.

Beautiful!

Stunning!

In the words of nerds, this is a figure that can move!

"Ahem." Han Lan next to him also noticed that he was distracted, and coughed twice to remind him.

Only then did he come back to his senses, and continued to direct, using the way he made movies to record the beautiful scene on the stage.

This one was easily passed, and then began to shoot the shots of the extras in front of the stage.

According to the setting of the plot, this is the old man’s memory of the silk-drawing show. It is about how he disobeyed his parents’ orders and came to watch the silk-drawing show when he was young, and then he was fascinated by the marionettes on the stage. I simply went to visit my teacher and learned puppet show.

Wang Shenzhi didn't have many demands on the extras, so he just let them perform as they would normally watch a puppet show.

But after all, it is not a professional group performance, this set of shots took three times to pass.

A group of adults is not as good as the child who played the role of the old man in the silk-drawing opera. When shooting a close-up shot, a lollipop the size of a fist is shown behind the camera, and the whole soul is taken away. The little eyes are more The more vivid it is, the more vivid it is, not losing to professional actors at all.

Then I rearranged the scene and started shooting shots of Han Lan, mainly to supplement some fragmented memories of the old man traveling around with puppets.Han Lan is also an old drama player now, and several sets of shots were shot very quickly.

Counting all kinds of decorations, this scene was filmed after half a day.

At noon, the production crew invited the master craftsmen to have a meal together. During the whole process, Wang Shenzhi seemed to have opened up a chatter box, chatting with the master craftsmen about marionette shows, and the more they chatted, the happier they became.

It is also rare for master craftsmen to see young people who are interested in this kind of "old antiques". You also talked to him one by one, from the production of puppets to the performance of puppets, and some legends. Everyone forgot to add food.

Han Lan was very happy to hear it, and he was not afraid of knocking chopsticks with anyone who picked up any dishes on the table.

But in the end, when it comes to the status quo in the past ten years, everyone sighs.

"Master, haven't you tried to improve? Make a little change. The inheritance is not preserved as it is. In fact, the puppet shows you are performing now are not puppet shows from more than 2000 years ago, right?" Han Lan listened to them. Sighing, he couldn't help but stop grilling rice, and asked casually.

"Hey~ I've tried it. Don't we all say we need to keep pace with the times? We also made TV shows like the operas in Yizhou, but the response was not very good..." The Chinese accents of the southerners are quite strong, Especially the elderly.

The master chefs arranged by the troupe to assist them in the filming also had serious accents, but after getting along with each other, everyone basically got used to it.

"Then celebrity endorsement, I can't afford it. If you didn't take the initiative to come to us to cooperate this time, how could we afford you? Listen to our team leader, how many million are you paying for your appearance now? You are young and promising, Our theater troupe has not been able to earn so much in the past few years..." The old master also opened up the chatterbox, and spoke out what was in his heart.

Han Lan smiled awkwardly, his appearance fee is more than a few million.

But the situation of the troupe is indeed the same now, they are also artists, these traditional artists are not as good as the trainees of Tomahawk Entertainment.

"Master, what I mean by advancing with the times is not as simple as moving the puppet show from the small stage to the screen. There are also other aspects, especially the art style, music, and performance content. It needs to be changed." Han Lan reminded with a smile.

The masters smiled and waved their hands, expressing that they did not understand.

Han Lan also realized that it's not that they don't want to change, but that their style is like this. They don't understand what contemporary young people like. After all, there is a generation gap of decades, how to change it?

The youngest in the troupe seems to be over 40, right?

It's really hard to understand what boys and girls like nowadays.

Han Lan thought for a while, then asked the girl Xuanji next to him to help bring over the custom-made puppets used in the filming just now, and explained to them with an example: "Master, for example, the puppets we asked you to help customize. Surely you can tell the difference from your own puppet?"

The master craftsmen naturally smiled and nodded. To them, this difference is huge, these female dolls are too thin!

But in fact, Hyun Hee girls are not thin. Compared with other girl groups on the market, each of them has a little baby fat on their faces, and their figure is not particularly thin.

After all, you still have to practice martial arts at ordinary times, and the weak and inexperienced can't bear it at all.

"Master, do you believe it? These puppets are also made by you, and they will be more popular with young people when they are taken out." Han Lan smiled confidently.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"No, you can't change it like this. It's one thing to customize it for you to shoot TV, but if you change everything like this, how can it be done!"

The teachers probably understood what Han Lan meant, and all of them waved their hands.

Han Lan had expected it a long time ago, not to mention that these old masters could not accept it, it is estimated that many young people felt that such a change would ruin the tradition.

But in fact, different eras have different aesthetics. Whether it is to be a work of art or commercialized, it must conform to the contemporary aesthetics.

After all, puppets are not antiques. If they want to pass them on, they must cater to the trend of the times.

"Master, didn't I just say that? The puppets you use now are not the styles used by your ancestors 1000 years ago, right? How can people change them before, but we can't change them now? And it doesn't mean that they are completely changed. Drop it, change all the previous things, just modify some appropriately to fit the contemporary aesthetics. Then you can also create some more modern puppets, right? The old things still need to be kept, and you can change them later Putting puppets from different eras together can help us study the evolution history of the puppets’ image, but if we don’t change them...they will really disappear.”

Han Lan's last sentence "It's really gone" seems to have really pierced into the hearts of the masters. After looking at each other for a while, it seems that they have begun to think seriously about Han Lan's previous suggestion.From time to time, he looked at the puppet in Han Lan's hand, and compared it with the Xuan Ji girls next to him.

In fact, there are not many changes. After all, no matter how the aesthetics change, the facial features are the foundation, nothing more than fat and thin faces and light or light makeup.

The appearance of Xuan Ji girls was still beautiful hundreds of years ago, but they may not be as popular as other beauties in the same period.

"Of course, these are just superficial things. If we really want to change, there are still many things that need to be changed. Just like what you said just now, the form of performance has been moved from the stage to the screen. But just move it completely like this. Is it? Absolutely not. If you want to change the form of the performance, you have to change it a lot. Make more innovations in the plot. Don’t set a plot that hasn’t changed for decades. And since it’s all on the screen, add some special effects, right? Director Wang must know more than I do." Han Lan winked at Wang Shenzhi while speaking.

Wang Shenzhi was stunned, and nodded with a smile: "Indeed, there are still many ways to shoot. For the same performance, you set up a fixed camera in front of the stage to shoot, and invite professional crew and professional post-production If the team makes it, the effect of the film will definitely be different. Of course, the most important thing is the content, and some plots are really old-fashioned."

The master craftsmen were ignorant, so they could only nod their heads, which means they accepted their suggestion. As for how to change it later, I don't know.

Han Lan didn't say anything more to them. After dinner, he took everyone back to the hotel to rest for a while, and went to the studio to shoot in the afternoon.

……

……

The v of "Drawing the Silk Play" has not been produced yet, but after the video shot by Han Lan on the set was released, it also attracted the attention of many fans.

Both the marionettes and Hyun Hee girls are attracting the attention of fans.

Although Hyun Hee girl hasn't made her debut yet, she has already participated in many performances as a trainee, and each of them has a lot of fans' attention.Not to mention appearing in Han Lan's video now, it directly dazzles many people in the black legend, all of them look like little fairies.

Fans are also talents. With the limited information in the video, someone found out that they were filmed in Licheng that day, even the Licheng Puppet Troupe was dug out.

"My younger brother kept saying that the figurines in the video were ugly, so I beat him up and blinded him. This is clearly carved according to his sister-in-law's appearance, right? So beautiful to call it ugly?"

"Brother in front, you are thinking about farting!"

"It's not a figure, it's a marionette! This skill has been around for a long time, why did Han Lan suddenly cooperate with them?"

"It looks like it should be a collaboration between the girl Xuan Ji and the marionette, right?"

"I'm looking forward to it."

"National intangible cultural heritage? Fuck, brothers, this puppet seems to have some background!"

"666 Lao Hei plays differently from others every time. Last time "Blue and White Porcelain" was also the same. Others played western music, but he suddenly came to a folk music. This time he even moved out the marionette."
