Director of the Centre

Chapter 266 Forming a Team ([-])

The establishment of the preparatory team for the large-scale real-scene Sichuan opera "Hao Ran Cheng Kun" project supporting the tourism of Jinsha City is a big event for Huacheng New District and even for Jinsha City.

Guan Jing reported the matter to her superiors, and the leaders of the municipal party committee highly praised it, saying that this idea is very good and should be taken as the focus of work.

For this reason, not only Hwaseong New District TV Station, but also Jinsha City TV Station and Evening News carried out extensive news reports.

Guan Jing and Director Meng asked about Han Lu's progress. How could Director Han dare to say that the play only had four scenes written, and the first step was taken after [-] miles. God knows when it will be completed.

He felt as if he was being thrown into a soup pot waiting to die, so he could only bite the bullet and answer, "Hao Ran Cheng Kun" has been in the works for almost ten years, but due to various reasons, it has not been completed. Needs to be sanded.Ask the leader to give me some time, so that I can be perfect.

Guan Jing said, rough work can be regarded as a work, a good start is half the success, you send the video materials first, we will ask an expert group to review and judge.It doesn’t need to be too much, just choose the most important clips in the play and come here.

Hearing that he didn't want a complete memory, Han Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.During the creation process of this play, a video was also recorded, and the actors were changed two or three times, and they were found directly from the archives and passed on.

Unexpectedly, after the things were delivered, Director Meng said to Han Lu: "If not, we have to tear it down and start over."

Han Lu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Director Meng replied, the opinion of the expert group is that this is just a Sichuan opera, and as far as the fragments are concerned, it can be called excellent.But it can only be performed in a theater, and it is almost meaningless to use it as an outdoor real scene.Especially for the soundtrack, the instruments of Sichuan Opera are mainly banhu, tanggu, big gong, small gong, snare drum, big cymbal, suona, which are too noisy and not beautiful enough.Our project is a cultural project for tourism. It is necessary to integrate the plot into the landscape and have full artistic appeal.Therefore, the experts' opinion is to use Sichuan opera for singing, but on the basis of traditional musical instruments, it is best to add orchestral music.

"That's easy. Anyway, we already have a symphony orchestra in our cultural and art center, so we can use it." Han Lu's heart moved, pretending to be very embarrassed: "Director Meng, this is equivalent to re-scoring some parts and even I have to re-compose the music, and art creation is all about inspiration. When the inspiration comes, you can pick up the pen. If you don’t have the inspiration, you can’t make it. Therefore, you have to give me some time.”

"How long?" Director Meng asked.

Han Lu: "No matter what, it will take three to five months. If you don't want to leave some margin, give me half a year."

Director Meng was domineering and said without any refutation: "Two months, you only have two months, okay?"

Han Lu: "Okay."

Isn’t that terrible for two months? After returning to the unit, our director Han became very angry, and dared not drink wolfberries after soaking in wolfberries. The thing was probably said once.Finally, he asked Song Tian: "Old Song, is it okay to re-arrange the music?"

Song Tian replied that there are more than 20 creators in the creative studio, all of whom are proficient in music theory, and it only takes a few days to transform the Qupai of Sichuan Opera into a modern symphony.Artistic creation, adaptation is the easiest.After all, the lyrics and music of the story are all ready-made.The most difficult thing is that after using Western music, some adjustments have to be made to the singing.

He said that people in southwestern provinces often say that there is a difference between "watching Sichuan Opera" and "listening to Peking Opera". , is the repeated enjoyment of the singing art of Peking Opera.But after making it into a large-scale live performance, the most important function will be transferred to the lyric, using a large section of singing to express emotions vividly.Therefore, the core aria in the play must be adjusted and innovated so that it can be adapted to the orchestra.

Everyone nodded and said that it made sense, but one of the deputy directors fired at him first: "Old Song, you are the director of the creative studio. This drama center has been in production for nearly ten years, and now only four scenes have appeared. , you have to give us an explanation."

"That's right, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our center. If we need to rely on this play to win the battle, Lao Song, you need to give us a letter!"

"Director Song, the Hwaseong New Area Project Preparatory Team has been established for some days, and everyone is angry, but what about you old man, drinking tea and playing games in the office all day long, and you can't see anyone at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Yes, yes, we are so anxious."

Song Tian was annoyed: "Why, I'm still to blame, what a joke! I wasn't the one who said I was going to make "Hao Ran Cheng Kun", and I didn't write those four scenes. I need you to find the original author."

A deputy director refused to accept: "The original creator has retired, find a ghost!"

"You also know that those people have retired, and they can be rehired after retirement! That's right, several of the old people who wrote this play before are no longer here, and those who are still alive are old and don't have the energy to do it." Song Tian: "It's not like you don't know when I entered the creative studio and why I was sent to that cold palace. After I went there, I just had a name. I haven't been the director of the creative studio for two years. You have to investigate We cannot be held accountable. To tell you the truth, the reason why I engage in creation is entirely out of interest. When I am interested, I write a few strokes. If I am not interested, I go home and play with my children. I, Song Tian, ​​really don’t have this If you have the ability, why don’t you hire someone else.”

He was besieged by everyone, and he was furious, and even mentioned the conflict with Han Lu back then.

Han Lu was embarrassed and coughed: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, Lao Song. I respect the rules of art when it comes to creation, so hurry up and I'll give you two months. I won't discuss this matter today. , let’s put together the cast and band first, and determine the relevant people.”

Yes, creation would not be possible without Song Tian.

"Awe-inspiring Chengkun" is also considered a large-scale cultural project in Jinsha City, for which the Cultural and Art Center has mobilized many resources.Many art workers engaged in related industries in the city and province intend to intervene.The frustration is either that the asking price is too high for the center to bear, or the level is not enough.It's really hard to find an artist with level like Song Tian who doesn't spend money.

Let’s talk about the band first, because it’s a mixed band with orchestral instruments, so in addition to Lao Liu and other folk musicians, people from the symphony side should also join.In the end, the list of the band was finalized, a total of 32 people, with a huge scale, just imagine how powerful it would be to stand on the stage.

The next step is to decide on the leading and supporting roles.

Let’s not talk nonsense about the heroine, Song Xiuyan will be the center’s pillar for the next 20 years, and it’s time to be the boss now.
