Chapter 314 Nice to meet you
Moscow is at a high latitude. Although it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is still different from summer in southern China.

Just like the Northeast and Mongolia, generally as long as the sun is not exposed to the place, it is very cool, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large, so you need to cover the quilt at night.

The same is true in Moscow, so I didn't feel too hot when I got out of the airport. Only when I was exposed to the sun could I feel that it was summer.

As a delegation invited by Huaxia, the organizing committee of the drama festival naturally has reception staff. Except for one official, the rest are volunteers, and they are all Huaxia students from Moscow University.

They were excited to be volunteers, especially when they saw Ning Yuan.

Apparently, they knew Ning Yuan even though they were in college here, but apart from greeting them warmly, they didn't ask for autographs and take photos together. At least now is not the time, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing for the country.

Kzlov is the person in charge of the reception and the director of this festival.

On Huaxia's side, of course, it was not Meng Hui who was the leader, but the vice president Cao Rulong. After a brief exchange with Kzlov, he got into the car together and headed to the venue of the drama festival - Stanislavski manor.

It was Stanislavsky who wrote "The Actor's Self-cultivation".

When they got there, all Ning Yuan and the others saw were foreigners. They felt that they all looked similar, at most there were differences between height, shortness, fatness and thinness, and between men and women. As for the facial features, there seemed to be little difference.

Although cultural differences between the East and the West have always existed, human emotions are nothing more than those. The broad categories are joy and sorrow. In fact, people are happy and sad. And Juliet, as well as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, are tragedies in China, and they are also tragedies in the West.

Although the two famous dramas were born in different eras and regions, they are surprisingly similar in terms of structure, ending, and object of attack.

The "Si Fan" that Ning Yuan and the others are going to perform this time has similarities with Liang Zhu, both are loves yearning for freedom, but their ending is happy.

Because it is an avant-garde drama, it is limited by the venue, so it is still similar to Huaxia, and it is divided into small theaters with only more than 100 seats.

When the first performance started, Ning Yuan thought that it would be good for them to be able to seat half of the people because they were not famous yet, but he did not expect to get news before the performance that their tickets were sold out.

Not only this one, but the next two were sold out.

This made Ning Yuan and Meng Hui a little stunned: "Do the Russian people like drama so much?"

Later, the volunteer of Huaxia International Students laughed and said, "Of course not. In fact, Mr. Ning is well-known in Russia. Otherwise, you can see that the tickets for many dramas have not been sold out, and some of them are even less than half."

Ning Yuan suddenly remembered his movie, "A Dream in the Garden", after all, it was screened here, and it was nominated. Although the nomination had nothing to do with him, at least he was the number one male in it, and there was such a fierce fight.

Unexpectedly, when asked if it was not, the volunteer smiled and shook his head:

"Of course not, I guess you can't guess at all."

Ning Yuan was really a little confused: "Could it be that we won an award for our play in the Neon Country and passed it on?"

The volunteer named Lin Fan laughed loudly: "It's Princess Huanzhu."

"what?"

Not only Ning Yuan's glasses widened, Meng Hui, Liu Ye, and Pan Yueming were all dumbfounded.

"In fact, not only is Huan Zhu very popular in our country, but in the past two years in Russia, Ukraine and Mongolia, the ratings have been quite low. Even us international students find it incredible."

Ning Yuan knows that Huanzhu is very popular. Basically, it is the Chinese TV series, except for "Journey to the West", which has the most translated versions in the world.

But in the past, Ningyuan mainly focused on East Asia and Southeast Asia. After all, it once set off a frenzy of ratings in both the neon country and the Koryo country. Therefore, Koryo deliberately reduced the broadcast volume.

But Ning Yuan really didn't expect that there is still a market for pearls in the west.

In fact, this is something that Ning Yuan really doesn’t understand. After all, in his previous life, he spent more time in the TV circle. It was not until a few years before his rebirth that he started making movies, let alone going abroad. In Baodao, it is not counted as going abroad.

At that time, media reports were more focused on Asia, and there were few in the Western world. At least Ning Yuan heard it occasionally, and once saw the American version of the clip of returning the pearl. The dubbing was really annoying.

Even the English version is like that, let alone the Russian version.

However, in Ning Yuan's previous life, Fan Bing was preparing to come back after an accident, and he was able to appear on the cover of a Russian magazine because of Huanzhu's name. One can imagine Huanzhu's popularity in Russia.

After knowing this, Yuan Quan said with a smile: "It turns out that we are all in your favor. If you don't win an award this time, you will be ashamed to pay it back."

Ning Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, and he was not sure what kind of evaluation Huanzhu was in Russia.

Just like in the future, many Goryeo dramas are also very popular in China, and at the same time, many Goryeo actors are well-known in China, but because of the type of the drama, it is still underestimated in the mainstream consciousness.

Then Ning Yuan and the others performed step by step according to the procedures of the organizing committee.

There have been dozens of performances in Huaxia, this time it was just a change of place, although this time the audience was all foreigners, which made Liu Ye and the others a little nervous, but Ning Yuan and Yuan Quan were not affected, and Liu Ye and the others almost The two "performers" basically spoke together, and they didn't show any nervousness, so the performance went very smoothly.

Just like in the Neon Country, it is impossible for Ning Yuan and the others to speak Russian during the performance, so they are all performing on stage, with the screens on both sides scrolling their lines.

Although the viewing experience is not that good, as long as you look carefully, the emotions shown by Ning Yuan and the others, and the content of the plot, can still be understood by Russian audiences.

Even they are like this, not to mention the actors and behind-the-scenes who came to participate in the theater festival from other countries.

"I really like this drama, and this screenwriting design mode is also a new attempt for previous dramas."

"It is true that the stories of the East and the West are integrated. Although there are regional surprises, the core of what is to be expressed is still a thing, or a kind of emotion. I think this combination is very clever."

"Although I can't understand the words, there are many words that sound particularly rhyming and rhythmic. This feeling is very comfortable and full of cheerful atmosphere. Maybe it's like a song. Even if I don't understand the words, the kind of It feels figured out."

Not only Chinese poetry has rhymes, but Western poetry also has rhymes, but there are also poets. Some people like this catchy rhyme, while others don’t pay special attention to it, and care more about the content and emotion expressed.

"I think the actors' performances are great, especially the male and female leading actors. Their eye movements are very flexible, which makes people's eyes attracted unconsciously. It's even better when compared with the translated lines. Of course, other narrators The performers also cooperated very well.”

"Their performances are not heavy, but very light. They are very consistent with the theme of the show, and they performed the theme of each time period."

……

Most of the subsequent seminars also gave extremely high evaluations, but they were mainly about the innovation in the design and plot of the dialogue drama, and the one about Ning Yuan and Yuan Quan was a good interpretation of this innovation.

It sounds like this is also a compliment, probably similar to acting like something?
Ning Yuan thought so.

The exhibited works from other countries include such famous dramas as "Faust", "Hamlet", "Hypocrite", and "The Imperial Envoy", as well as "The Good Man in Sichuan Province", "Adam and Eve", "My Heart Is Deep" Office" these popular plays in recent decades.

Among them, "The Good Man in Sichuan Province" is not a Chinese drama, but a work of the German dramatist Bertozo in the 40s.

In fact, he has never been to Huaxia, let alone Sichuan Province.Hundreds of years ago, missionaries’ introductions about Huaxia continued to spread back to the West, including introductions about Sichuan Province. For example, Qin Liangyu, a female general of the Ming Dynasty, somehow evolved into the Queen of Sichuan Province. Because of her, Sichuan Province also entered the in the consciousness of German intellectuals.

When Berto created this drama set in China, he picked up the place name that impressed him the most.

This play not only takes China as the background, but the plot is also based on Chinese mythology. It tells the story of the immortals descending to the earth to find a good man, but they repeatedly hit the wall, and finally find a kind-hearted brothel woman Shen De.

This in itself is a very ironic thing, but even more ironic is yet to come——

The god gave her one thousand silver dollars, and Shen De used the money to open a tobacco shop, hoping to make more money and help more people through the operation, but soon she was on the verge of bankruptcy because of doing good deeds everywhere.

In order to save the tobacco shop, the kind-hearted Shen De had to disguise himself as a man, and instead appeared in front of everyone as his ruthless cousin Cui Da, and turned the tobacco shop into a rich tobacco factory by cruelly exploiting the workers.

At this time, people began to miss the missing "good man from Sichuan Province".When the gods interrogated Cui Da and asked about the whereabouts of the good man Shen De, she finally had to take off her men's clothes and revealed a shocking fact to the world: society has fallen so badly that good people can no longer survive.

This descending to the world is different from Ning Yuan and the others' Si Fan. Ning Yuan and the others are pursuing self-fulfillment, praising freedom and love, but this is an attack on the current situation.

One praise and one criticism, no matter where the background is placed, the core will not change. Not only this one, but other dramas have this common consensus.

However, this time the drama festival is not only a selection, but also a master-level performance. It is said that it is a performance, which is actually equivalent to showing the meaning of teaching. Ning Yuan and the others benefited a lot.

Ning Yuan is fine, Liu Ye has also studied for four years in regular classes, but Pan Yueming suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes are high and his hands are low - not derogatory, just his own description:
"The vision has improved, but the acting skills have not improved. This makes me look back on the past performances, and feel that there are many places that can be better."

Ning Yuan smiled and comforted: "Only when your vision has improved will you know the direction of your efforts. If you don't even know the direction, you can only be self-satisfied."

"Hello?" Pan Yueming chewed on this new word, and nodded, "It's very appropriate. I really thought that I acted well before."

Ning Yuan laughed loudly: "Everyone has this idea. This is also the process of human progress. The first step is to feel that you don't know anything. Start to be complacent, the fourth step is to see more powerful people to know your own shortcomings, and then go round and round..."

Liu Ye on the side said quietly: "Actually, it can be summed up in one sentence."

Pan Yueming asked curiously, "Which sentence?"

Ning Yuan also squinted, Liu Ye shrank his neck, but he still whispered firmly: "It's a poem, it's called a mountain is taller than a mountain."

Ning Yuan said speechlessly: "The meaning is similar, but is this poetry?"

Liu Ye thought for a while: "I guess so, I remember the last sentence."

"Isn't the last sentence saying that the strong have their own strong hands?" Ning Yuan said lightly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Ye applauded excitedly.

"To your head! Why don't you say that there are mountains beyond the mountains and there are people beyond the sky!"

Ning Yuan stretched out his hand to take a picture, but Liu Ye hid him. Ning Yuan said angrily: "You still don't write about your experience, do you think you are me?"

Liu Ye silently turned his head to remember his experience, and muttered: "Who can have such a perverted memory..."

Pan Yueming glanced at him, then at Ningyuan, and then obediently bowed his head and wrote quickly.

Ning Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, even though these two guys were older than him, even if he didn't have the status of a boss, he still talked to them like he was a big brother. Of course, the reason was self-evident.

Ning Yuan himself is actually recording, but it is not so detailed, it is more like an outline, basically short words and sentences, but with his memory, even without these, he is still impressive. own perfect performance concept.

Most of the time, one hammer in the east and the other in the west, just know the principle or method, if there is a change, you will be at a loss, but if you organize it and form your own set of methods, you can follow the change with ease, just like martial arts novels. There is no trick to win, there is a trick' almost the truth.

On the third day, Yang Fan, the director of Yuyuan Jingmeng, also came here ahead of time. Before he learned that Ning Yuan was going to participate in the drama festival, he said "please bring me", but before he came, he had to arrange the itinerary of the rest of the crew, as well as himself. It's a matter of the company, so it's a bit late.

In the following time, Ning Yuan sometimes went to watch other plays with them, and sometimes acted independently. In fact, Pan Yueming and Liu Ye had gained far more than Ning Yuan. After all, they knew much less than Ning Yuan at this stage.

As for Ning Yuan, the more he summed up, the more he felt that he had grown unknowingly, and he tried to integrate into it in the following performances.

This time, it was at the former residence of the master of the experience school. Naturally, the experience school was the main one. Ning Yuan also tried this method more, and his progress was also seen by many masters.

"Hello, Ning Yuan, nice to meet you."

Facing the master's uninvited visit, Ning Yuan held his extended hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Rubimov, it is my honor to meet you."

　I was going to visit my brother and mother in Wuhan, but he told me not to go there for the time being. I thought about it, so I decided to go to visit. It was stressful to have this disease all of a sudden. We all went and I was probably even more nervous. When she comes back for chemotherapy, I will talk about it. Bar.So I will post the half-written chapter first, thank you for your support.
