The bard joins the entertainment industry

"Love doesn't know where it comes from, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Life without death, death without resurrection, are all not the result of love."

Zhang Yimou rubbed his palms and murmured: "It needs to be changed, the battle in the sea of ​​flowers should be changed.

It can't just be a simple fight, it should be a life and death affair..."

Seeing that he was trapped in his own world again, others stopped disturbing him and went to the other side to give him space.

Zhang Jianmin pulled Chen Shuo and asked him about the transition between some actions.

After such a long time, he has finished composing the water sleeve percussion drum, but there are a few places where the transitions of the movements are not so smooth.

At this time, after listening to Chen Shuo's explanation and personal demonstration, I suddenly became enlightened.

After following these movements, his water sleeve percussion drum was officially completed.

"Bah bang bang~" He clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Come on, Yabin, Qifeng, you two perform it again for Chen Shuo to see."

"Okay!" the two of them responded.

Zhang Yimou was also awakened by the applause. Hearing that the water-sleeved drum dance had been completely choreographed, he was ready to formally appreciate it.

A group of people helped set up the venue.

Wang Yabin was the first to take the stage, assuming a posture of kicking towards the sky, and stretched himself quietly.

Then suddenly a water sleeve flew out and hit the drum head on the right.

With a pop, the water sleeves fell on it. Before it hit the ground, she shook the water sleeves, took them back, and took another posture to explore the sea.

Then the other hand flew out and hit the left drum surface.

Her strength lies in the rhythm between dances, which is mellow and smooth, with both form and spirit.

I'm not very good at playing drums with water sleeves, and I missed the drum head a few times.

But this does not hinder her performance.

As the dance became more and more intense, when she reached some big moves, she suddenly withdrew and stepped back, while Wu Qifeng, who was already prepared, quickly came on stage.

While taking the stage, several large dragon rolls were performed in succession, pushing the entire dance to a climax.

Next, he made a big jump in the air, a 720° spin turn, an upside-down kick to the Purple Golden Crown and other difficult movements, all performed smoothly.

It's just that he is really not good at Shui Xiu. Even when dancing, Shui Xiu is a bit weak, let alone Fei Xiu playing drums.

After he completed several difficult movements, he switched to Wang Yabin and completed the final stage with some slightly difficult movements.

Overall, this dance was too difficult, causing the two to perform somewhat differently.

But from the cooperation between the two, we can also see how amazing it would be if someone could perform it completely.

After applauding, everyone looked at Chen Shuo.

If anyone can do it, it's only him.

The reason why Zhang Jianmin has set such high standards for this dance is because he is here.

Chen Shuo thought for a while, stood up and said, "How about I do it again?"

Zhang Jianmin asked: "Is that okay? Do you need to study for two days first?"

"It should be no problem. During this period, I also practiced moves such as the Longmen Roll, Side Flying Swallow, and Big Jump in the Air.

The dance moves choreographed by Teacher Zhang are almost outside the scope of what I have done before.

Maybe the rhythm won't be that good, and you need to slowly adjust and practice in the future.

But if you follow the steps in sequence, it should be no problem. "

"Okay, let's take a look first." Indeed, as Chen Shuo said, the movements of this dance did not deviate from his previous performances.

It's just that Zhang Jianmin merged his movements with those of classical dance and water sleeve dance to make it more beautiful.

Chen Shuo was about to change into the water-sleeved suit worn by Wang Yabin when Zhang Yimou suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you can just put on the costume and perform."

"Okay, you can better see the final effect by changing into costumes." Zhang Jianmin also nodded and asked Wu Qifeng to take Chen Shuo to change clothes.

When he arrived at the dressing room, Wu Qifeng opened a locked cabinet and took out a set of clothes.

This outfit is very gorgeous. The upper body is a pale golden tube top, embroidered with gorgeous patterns, and the lower body is a plain white pleated gauze skirt.

Outside is a large cloak with wide sleeves, pink as the background color, and fully embroidered with golden peonies.

Two similarly light pink water sleeves, one foot long, are connected to the wide cuffs.

The weather in July was already hot, so Chen Shuo only wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray trousers. The materials were very cool.

At this time, he put on the costume without taking off his clothes.

While out, get familiar with this piece of clothing, especially the fit between the two wide sleeves and the water sleeves.

In general water sleeve suits, the sleeves on both arms are slim, so as to facilitate movements and reflect the beauty of the water sleeves.

But now, I don’t know what the costume designer thought, but added this pair of big sleeves.

Not only does the water sleeve movement become more difficult, but even normal movement performance will be affected.

The most important thing is that when the big sleeves are dancing, they will inevitably compete with the water sleeves.

After leaving the dressing room, Chen Shuo asked: "Is this how we decide on our clothes?"

Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "Basically, this is the final draft. Why, do you think there's anything wrong with it?"

"I feel like these two big sleeves are a bit stealing the show." Chen Shuo honestly stated his thoughts.

Zhang Yimou explained: "This was restored by Miss Hotan based on women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty's cloaks were generally this kind of wide robes with big sleeves."

Now that he has joined the crew, Chen Shuo has some understanding of the people behind the crew.

Wada Huimei, a film costume designer from Fuso Kingdom, has won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Costume Design three times.

The most recent time was in April, when he won the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards for "Hero".

The clothes designed by such people may not match the dance moves, but they can definitely show the beauty of the movie.

After thinking about it, he didn't say much more. At most, he just had to work harder during the performance and coordinate the big sleeves and water sleeves well.

Chen Shuo stood in the middle of the stage and imitated Wang Yabin, doing a kicking motion toward the sky.

He has been practicing Wuqinxi since he was a child, and his muscles and bones can be soft or strong. Although the upward kick in dance is different from the upward kick in martial arts, it is not difficult for him.

One leg was pushed straight up, with the toes pointed in the sky, while the other leg stood firmly on the ground without any sway.

Just seeing this action, Zhang Jianmin couldn't help but secretly cheer in his heart.

Generally, men's muscles and bones are stiff, making it difficult to perform such movements, while women's lack of strength makes it difficult to maintain.

For a person like Chen Shuo, who has soft bones and strong strength, performing such an action is a perfect combination of strength and softness, strength and beauty.

After Chen Shuo posed, he put one hand on his waist and raised the other above his head. The hanging sleeves covered half of his face, causing him to involuntarily poke his head out through the sleeves.

At this moment, he also understood the meaning of these two sleeves.

In opera, big sleeves, like water sleeves, have the function of assisting performance and can use different movements to show different emotions of the characters.

At this time, his movements gave off a subtle feeling as if he was holding a pipa and half-hiding his face.

Sure enough, a costume design master like Wada Huimei may not understand that such large sleeves will affect the movements of the water sleeve dance, but with this pair of large sleeves, the character can be made more beautiful.

That's worth it to her!
