Jinghua Tianjiao

After the performance, everyone except Du Juan and Wen Xin went back first.The two waited in the conference room of the theater for a long time before Liu Tian opened the door and came in.Compared with the makeup just now, my face is much fairer this time.Behind him was an old man with gray hair, who came in with Liu Tian.Du Juan and Wen Xin stood up. The old man didn't care about these etiquettes and waved them to sit down. "We are all Xiaotian's friends. You don't need to be so polite. Sit down."

Liu Tian introduced, "This is Teacher Bai from our theater, who is also the acting teacher of the theater. This time it is also because we are going to do a series of Peking Opera silk figures, and he wants to come and listen to the follow-up Peking Opera resources. Teacher Bai It can help us.”

"Hello, Teacher Bai, please give me your advice." Du Juan and Wen Xin greeted each other.

"This is Du Juan from Jinghuafang, and this is Wen Xin, the marketing manager of their studio." Liu Tian introduced
"Well, I heard Xiaotian mention you two before. I admire you very much. It's not easy to be a silk man." Teacher Bai praised the two of you very much.

Du Juan said hurriedly, "Thank you, senior. We have just started on this road, and we are slowly getting on the right track."

Teacher Bai said in an easy-going manner, "It doesn't matter. The inheritance of intangible cultural heritage is a long-term process. By the way, how about it? You watched the show today not bad. Today's performances are all unit plays, which is related to us The silk figures to be made should be of some help. I heard Liu Tian say before that what you guys have agreed upon is to use unit plays to make silk figures to ensure the integrity of a story. In fact, now I want to hear your opinions on the Peking Opera series of silk figures. What are your opinions? After all, we are about to collaborate. See if there is anything you want to add. You can feel free to speak and just treat it as an exchange."

Wen Xin said, "Teacher Bai, to be honest. We don't know much about Peking Opera, let alone professional. From the perspective of silk figures, the deepest impression on me of Peking Opera is their facial makeup. Nowadays, there are Peking Opera themes on the market There are many silk figures in China, but they are all very similar, with mostly female characters, but the use of facial makeup is not so rich, and most of them are used in the production of silk clothes."

"Well, Xiaowen's understanding is very good. When our institute was selecting partners, we had seen many workshops. There are also some mature companies looking for cooperation with us. Their silk figurine products have been launched on the market, but the production is They are mass-produced. There is very little handiwork and originality. As Xiaowen said, most of the silk figures on the market have a Peking Opera flavor in their clothes and accessories, but the most important thing about Peking Opera is facial makeup. , facial makeup is the soul of Peking Opera, without it everything else is useless.”

Wen Xin said, "That's true. Among the four major cultures in Beijing now, Beijing-style culture is the most important. Peking Opera and Beijing Silk People both belong to Beijing-style culture. The focus of our cooperation this time is how to embody it in the silk people. To bring out the Beijing culture covered by Peking Opera.”

"That's right, Teacher Bai." Du Juan took over Wen Xin's words and said, "In this production of our Peking Opera Silk Man, I have some ideas of my own. When the characters in Peking Opera are performing, they will have emotions and anger on their faces. Sadness and joy, this also depends on the style of facial makeup. In Peking Opera characters, facial makeup also represents another aspect of expression. This is one. The second is the body shape of the silk figure. When we usually make silk figures, They are basically standing, because the casts of the silk figures are all made from the same mold. When we are making the Peking Opera silk figures we are collaborating with this time, we will pay attention to the shape of the silk figures and let them make some classic The overall feeling of Peking opera movements may be better this way. As for the Beijing culture, I believe that if the form and expression are perfect, then the Beijing culture will naturally be reflected."

After listening to Du Juan's words, Teacher Bai was very approving, "Well, you Jinghuafang still have ideas. I also know a little about silk figures. The process is complicated, but every step is the essence. What I can understand now is this production The silk figures are more challenging than the silk figures you have made before, so your studio should be fine with this."

Du Juan heard what Teacher Bai said and knew Teacher Bai's worries. After all, it is normal to have a little doubt during the negotiation.Du Juan did not dare to give a [-]% guarantee, so she could only rely on her own ability and said, "Teacher Bai, we cannot guarantee that everything is foolproof. This time is also a test for us at Jinghuafang, but my team and I will use all our creativity to complete this project." Yes, after all, this time is also an opportunity for us.”

"Well, I also believe that you will do a good job." Teacher Bai was still confident. He looked at Liu Tian and continued, "Because this project is also cooperating with Wangfu Cultural and Creative Industries, and we have produced silk figures. Later, they will have to take some from their side for subsequent intangible cultural heritage exhibitions." "Okay, don't worry, Mr. Bai. We will arrange the division of labor as soon as possible after we return." Wen Xin said
"Okay, I still have an acting class to teach. Xiaotian, you can take them to visit our theater. It would be good to have a deeper understanding." After that, Teacher Bai stood up, and Du Juan and Wen Xin hurriedly followed. stand up.The old man turned around and said, "From now on, you can come here whenever you want. We are all here for creation."

"Okay, I will definitely visit more often."

When Liu Tian took the two of them to visit the theater, Wen Xin couldn't help but ask, "Listen to what Teacher Bai just said, our technical difficulty should be very difficult this time. I don't know silk art, but I can hear this It’s different from what we did before, do we need to make some adjustments in our studio?”

Du Juan just saw that Wen Xin had something to say, so she asked directly, "If you have any ideas, just tell me."

"You better understand me, I don't want to include aunties in this Peking Opera series of silk figures."

"my mother?"

Wen Xin nodded: "Yes, Auntie has rich experience, it should be much better if she comes. The ready-made clothes for Peking Opera silk figures still need a good tailor, and the work is very detailed. Gesang from the studio is competent, but She doesn’t know much about Beijing culture. Just now you emphasized Beijing culture to Teacher Bai, which is the core of Peking Opera Silk Man. I’m afraid that Gesang doesn’t have this knowledge, so it’s better to ask Auntie to come in and bring Gesang with her.”

"Well, that makes some sense." Du Juan agreed with Wen Xin's idea, but then she thought about it: My mother said before that she would no longer care about the studio, and she had quit for a long time, and now she and her father She probably won't come to the store to help.

Liu Tian, ​​who was walking in front, heard the two chattering behind him and thought they were talking about some secret. He turned around and said, "What are you two sisters talking about?"

"It's none of your business, just lead the way." Du Juan said
"Juan'er, I'm Party A, so it's not good for you to talk like that." Wen Xin joked, and also told Liu Tian what happened just now.

When Liu Tian heard this, he first thought of his mother and said, "As a silk tailor, my mother should be the most suitable. But recently, she has basically gone to the nursing home to take care of my grandfather. Otherwise, if she comes, you guys This problem should be solved.”
