152、What a blessing
The last scene unfolds in the suddenly enhanced background music.
The modern drama stage is no longer as primitive as Wan Changsheng thought.
The backend of sound, light and electricity control is actually more like Alibaba’s treasure cave. Outside the cave, the audience only sees the little scenes presenting at the entrance.
Only by sitting in the background can you see the layers of background boards, props, and scenes, hanging on the ceiling and hiding under the floor, appearing as scenes change.
Originally, according to the classic scenes of the May Fourth Movement in the minds of many people, a group of young students looked up at the leaders who were climbing high and shouting among them, and issued a battle manifesto. Next to them was a background scene like Huabiao.
This image has been deeply rooted.
But Wan Changsheng had just watched the first half, and what he wanted to highlight in his mind was not one person, but a group of people.
Using the triangle emphasized to Aunt Xi today, this should not be one of the crowds that stands out among the crowd, but many people are stacked in a pyramid-like shape.
Only by gaining a solid mass base can we have more backbones and support the elites. This is a triangular structure, rather than a sudden vertical structure on one horizontal line.
Even if you establish a grand image, you must be based on a large mass base, rather than a separate one that sets apart.
Moreover, the symbolic meanings of Huabiao and other aspects have become somewhat symbolic.
Wan Changsheng, who did not understand this set of symbolic techniques, unexpectedly used the dilapidated city walls to express the momentum of the country and the mountains and rivers, and expressed the tenacity of the whole backbone being broken but still standing upright.
The old actors who play the mentors are ragged, some with blood, and some are proud and never bow their heads. They dragged heavy chains and were pushed up the steps of the city wall by countless students!
There is definitely no such scene in history.
But the value of art lies in the fact that it uses extremely small scenes and very short time to condense the essence to display those magnificent pictures of the times.
If it is not refined and remade, it will become the old lady's foot binding cloth, like a nagging thing.
Art requires changes such as exaggeration, metaphor, symbolism, etc. Sometimes, in order to enhance the artistic effect, this range must be deepened.
The deputy director stood quietly behind Aunt Xi and whispered: "Will this change... be said to be...inappropriate?"
Aunt Xi held her hands and looked at her disdain: "Everything comes to me... It's here!"
The mentor who was supported by countless people to climb to the heights made a generous speech: "The survival and honor of the nation! Only by relying on the head and blood of its own nation can it be maintained! Now the fate of the entire nation is held in our hands, and we all have no escape between heaven and earth. Only the mountains and rivers stained by our blood are worthy of the praises and love of us and future generations..."
Sure enough, compared to the previous scene, it is now more like a group portrait!
The flesh and blood group statues that countless people have successively created can be seen from the monitor, and are no longer the situation where all the focus of the eyes is focused on the high-point mentor.
His eyes could easily expand from him to dozens of actors on the entire stage, and then there were countless ordinary people on the background board behind him who seemed to be able to blend with these stage actors.
This is the scattered narrative of Wan Changsheng's habit. Only by expanding the image to so many people can the audience resonate with you!
That is not a matter of one or two leaders or a few elites entertaining themselves, but a family, state and world affairs that are related to everyone and everyone!
Because everyone can find an identity, status, mentality and even appearance that fits them from so many group portraits.
Inspire loyalty and anger!
All the actors around are no longer just looking up at the mentor at the highest point.
They are like the characteristics of Wan Changsheng in that mural. Everyone is life, and everyone has their own story. There is no rigidity on their faces like a thousand people, but some are timid, some are hesitant, some are sad, and some are worried.
But in such a situation of life and death in the face of national crisis, with the deafening cry, everyone's faces change.
This is human nature.
Human nature gradually changes and is unified in cognition.
It can be said that the whole drama originally expressed this theme from beginning to end.
Wan Changsheng's proposal keenly condensed this theme to the last scene.
From the corner of the backstage, you can vaguely see the audience outside, and there are many people standing up and empathizing with the passion.
Even though the lines were not over, the thunderous applause had already passed by the audience like waves, over and over again, and then turned into a neat rhythm!
Regardless of whether it will affect the performance of the actors, because if this is not the case, you will not be able to vent your emotions in your heart!
Wan Changsheng noticed that Aunt Xi beside him was already crying.
Artists are all sensitive. Without this sensitivity, they cannot grasp the expression of emotions and scenes.
But they are full of professionalism. The actors on the stage are not affected by the environment at all. At this moment, they have traveled back to the years a hundred years ago. In that era when diplomacy failed, the country was divided, and the country was lost, and when faced with conquest and killing, the tenacity of knowledgeable people called for the efforts of ignorant people.
It all burst out at this moment.
There was a rush of passionate shouting in the professional theater without using a microphone, and also echoed with applause with the highest respect.
The people on this land have never been ruined because of conquering!
I never lowered my head just because I was killed!
The two voices collided with each other, and neither of them suppressed each other. Instead, they blended with each other and created a more intense momentum!
The kind that breaks through the sky!
It feels like such a magnificent building is about to break through the sky!
The actors solidify at the highest point.
The applause never stopped again.
There is no such thing as a stadium that simulates applause, but the kind of applause that makes the palms red.
The actors are still enjoying the highest award in this professional field.
Everyone has times for fame and fortune, but only in this way can they hand over their whole body and mind to the performing arts and embrace and applause with their souls.
What a blessing.
The audience must have felt this way. Fortunately, they saw an explosive acting performance and such a touching performance.
There must be audiences and media who watched yesterday, and they clearly saw a transformation of improvement.
In this impetuous society where commercialism is everywhere, there are still people who are striving for excellence to pursue this little change. Even if there are risks and not a penny, they are still meticulously crafted.
So the applause never stopped.
The actors lined up on the stage and ended their curtain call, and the applause didn't stop.
Aunt Xi stood on the stage and took the bouquet, but the applause still didn't stop.
Some people may have their palms hurt, so they can pick up the program to promote the filming. Compared to those ancestors who sacrifice their lives and sprinkle their blood, what is this!
Those who can choose to watch dramas have some basic qualities and should be able to agree that the current society lacks this cohesion. So many people who sacrifice one after another have achieved the current good situation, but some of them are indifferent and disappearing, and the messy noises are flowing around.
You need such a loud sound and heavy hammer!
That's worthy of applause!
The audience voted with applause!
Many actors were crying, and perhaps some young actors just said that they had seen such scenes of being hugged like waves of sincere applause.
Feel it now.
Perhaps this will have an impact on their future artistic path.
Because I have experienced the feeling of being truly recognized and favored.
You will correct your own views.
Aunt Xi was a little speechless. After several deep breaths, she wanted to speak, but she attracted even stronger applause!
This is the highest award for artists.
So she turned around at this time and gave the audience a moment of shock. But she saw a young man pulling in from the backstage, and waved his hand, and many logistics personnel in work clothes rushed in.
The curtain call of a theatrical performance is a knowledge, and it has also formed a very strong curtain call culture in the West, but it is extremely rare to invite all the backcourt personnel.
Especially such a somewhat ignorant young man.
It was through this time that Aunt Xi adjusted her emotions vigorously, stuffed the big bouquet into Wan Changsheng's hand, and spoke on her chest: "This is our audience yesterday. Wan Changsheng, who was twenty years old, was the last scene he proposed. We can modify and adjust it, and then all night long, he was here, racing against time with our props and stage teams to complete these... Only our actors can re-rehearse during the day..."
The applause rang against time again, but this could no longer suppress Aunt Xi's excited voice: "What do I want to say? Our hope will always be with young people... I just want to say the famous saying a hundred years ago, when a young man is strong, China is strong!"
The crew members who were all applauding the stage finally followed Aunt Xi and said in unison again: "The strong young man is the strong China!"
When I shouted for the third time, the audience was already getting up and shouting.
Wan Changsheng is in the stormy waves, looking quietly ahead.
Du Wen and Grandma Lu also stood in the front seats with a smile.
Chapter completed!
