The Pentium Era - South to North

The drama festival was over, and the troupe's work was back on track. Xiangnan called Ding Yousong, Yin Tao and more than a dozen of the troupe's main members to come over and discuss arranging new plays in the conference room every day.

Xiang Nan told them that for this play, I hope that the goal is not to participate in the performance or to participate in the awards. We will arrange a completely market-oriented play. Let’s look at our Wu Opera. At this time, is it still possible? How much survivability does it have? Of course, this play is also the highlight of next year's theater festival for our troupe. It will be completed in one session this year. I believe everyone will have experience.

"If this is the case, I think we can rehearse modern dramas instead of all costume dramas. If young people like to watch costume dramas, they should go to see "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Who would watch Wu Opera and rehearse modern dramas? In terms of music, I also You can incorporate more elements of pop music," Ding Yousong said.

"Don't modern dramas have the same impact? TV and movies, I'm afraid there are more modern dramas." Someone interjected.

Xiang Nan said right: "You are right. It can be said that TV and movies have the greatest impact on our drama. I think that before we arrange new dramas, we must first have a positioning, that is, what is drama? , compared with movies and TV series, what advantages do we have that they do not have? Only if we take advantage of this advantage can we impress the audience.

"Let me start by saying that I think our dramas and movies have the same thing, that is, we condense the entire story, all the contradictions and conflicts into these few hours, it can be said that one play can be performed A complete human life, or a cross-section of an entire society, this is what we have in common with movies.

“The difference from a movie is that the audience sits there and sees images on the screen when watching a movie, whereas when watching a drama, he sees real people on the stage.

"And another thing is that the stage of our drama can be extended, just like what we tried when we performed "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu", including our actors themselves, we can also interact with the audience live. This movie cannot do that. Its stage cannot be extended, and the actors on the screen cannot interact with the live audience.

"Don't underestimate interacting with the audience. This can actually make the atmosphere of the entire theater more lively. If you play a bad guy on the stage, the audience may throw things on the stage and want to rush on stage to beat you. No. People do things like this to the screen.”

"Then are we going to go on stage wearing armor and helmets?" Yin Tao asked, and everyone laughed.

Xiang Nan said: "I'm just using an analogy, but if you really do this one day, it means you have succeeded."

Yin Tao quickly said: "No, no, my life is important."

"Then what if there are a hundred old ladies who refuse to leave after the show and want you to be their daughter-in-law, Yin Tao?" someone asked.

Yin Tao said quickly: "That person is more likely to be the boss, not me. Just wait for this scene to happen."

Everyone laughed, waved their hands to Nan, and she said:

"This issue of interaction with the audience is really worthy of our careful study. When I watch the videos of Deyun Club and listen to Guo Degang and others talking about cross talk, there are often scenes like this, that is, you and I are talking about each other on and off the stage. Go, everyone is amused, that feels really good."

"Boss, I didn't expect you to listen to cross talk." Yin Tao said.

Xiangnan was stunned for a moment and blushed. Ding Yousong understood and scolded Yin Tao softly, "Idiot, it's Zhang Xiangbei who's watching. The boss made a friendly appearance."

A lot of people heard this, and everyone burst out laughing. Xiang Nan's face turned even redder, and he cursed himself to death in his heart.

She glared at Ding Yousong and said quickly:

"Let's get down to business. I mentioned the difference between dramas and movies before. What about TV series? TV series. My understanding is that no one watches single TV series anymore. They are all series, one story, and they are equal to ten stories. For a few days or dozens of days, our drama, as I mentioned before, was finished in more than two hours.

"All conflicts, from the beginning to the collision to the final resolution, need to be completed in more than two hours. Compared with TV series, we are more summarized and refined, and we can directly interact with the audience and the stage can Extending these two points is something that TV series cannot do because it is limited by the screen.

"If there are any differences between these three, you can think more and talk more. We must clarify the positioning of our drama. Only when we arrange new dramas can we use our strengths and avoid weaknesses and give full play to our strengths. Only in this way can the audience who enter the theater have a different kind of enjoyment from watching movies and TV.”

"Let me tell you something." Ding Yousong said.

Xiang Nan nodded: "You say."

"I feel that not only in terms of interaction, but also in terms of rendering the atmosphere of the scene and mobilizing the audience's emotions, there are aspects of our drama that movies and TV cannot do. This requires our actors to be able to observe words and emotions and be flexible on the stage. For example, when we acted in the past, we It pays too much attention to some details, such as whether to take the left foot or the right foot first when coming out, how many steps it takes in total, etc.

"Actually, the audience now, who cares about you? I think if our actor has ability, he should maximize his ability on stage. For example, if he sees that the audience is amused, he will die. Li Dou, it doesn’t matter whether the original lines and lyrics are written or not, as long as you have a way to make the audience laugh and feel sick.

"When you find that the audience's emotions are rising and their faces are beginning to look sad, you continue to add more material and continue to perform, making them cry to death, including our band. At this time, we will play some sad music to cheer up."

"Then it's not chaos. Now that the curtain has been raised, can it still be settled?" someone cursed.

Ding Yousong was not convinced and shouted back:

"So what if it doesn't come to an end? If the audience likes a play, what if we perform it for an extra half hour or an hour? If you perform well, the audience won't stop applauding, and you repeatedly take curtain calls, won't it mean that it won't end on time? What’s so scary about this?”

"If that's the case, then don't we even need to rehearse? Just go on stage and act haphazardly." The person who was scolded was not convinced and scolded him back.

Waving her hand to Nan, she said:

"It's not that we don't need to rehearse, but the requirements for our actors are very high. It can be said that they are quite high. You must have the ability to hold the stage and have such a strong aura to infect the audience. I think Each of us actors must work hard in this direction.

"Ding Yousong's previous words gave me an inspiration. I thought about it. The difference between our drama and movies and TV is that we are live art. What do you mean? You watch movies and TV a hundred times and a thousand times. They are all the same. It’s the same with our drama. Whether you perform well or fail, it’s over after the performance. It’s impossible to repeat it, and there’s no regret medicine to take.

"Our performance can be said to be a completely live performance, and it is in the past tense. Once you finish singing an action or a line of lyrics, it will be over. There is no way to repeat it. You can tell the audience below that what you just sang was not the same." Very good, can I sing it again for everyone? Absolutely not, so I said that our drama is a live art.

"Before you go on stage, you don't even have a way to know how your performance will be today. When making movies and TV shows, you can shoot it repeatedly, and then the director chooses the best clip to edit and fix it. This is impossible for our drama.

"Now that we understand that art is the art of the scene, let's go back and think about whether Ding Yousong's previous proposal makes sense. If our actors can do this, the whole play will have a positive impact on the scene. For the audience, does it look better or worse?"

Xiang Nan looked at everyone and asked. Everyone was silent. They felt that there was indeed a lot in Xiang Nan's words worth thinking about.

Someone's cell phone dinged. In the conference room, it was too quiet at that moment. The ding was a bit abrupt. When the person saw everyone looking at him, he quickly said:

"It's a text message."

"Shit, it's a hookup app."

The person on the side cursed, and everyone laughed together. The person on the side leaned over and asked the person to take out his mobile phone to show everyone whether it was true. The person hid on the other side, and the person on the other side hid. People caught him.

The so-called hookup app is “Momo” which just came out. It is an open social platform based on geographical location. Almost all young people have “Momo” installed on their mobile phones and have added many friends and joined different groups. Momo group.

Also because many people like to hang out with people they don’t know on Momo, “Momo” soon became known as the hookup app.

Xiang Nan looked at them, her eyes suddenly lit up. She hit the table with her palm, startling everyone. She looked back at Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan was not angry, but smiled happily:

"How about we put together a drama like this, with the story surrounding the software Momo?"

The two or three older musicians in the conference room didn't know what Xiang Nan was talking about, but the young people became excited when they heard it.

"Great, this subject matter is so attractive to young people." Ding Yousong exclaimed.

"Just write about a Momo group." Someone shouted, "In a Momo group, there will be all kinds of people, haha, then there will be a lot of stories."

"This is a good idea." Xiang Nan shouted, "Just focus on a group of strangers and write about all kinds of people in the group. In this way, the story and characters of the play will be very rich."

"Okay, okay, how about the name of this play is "Male A, Female Free"?" Yin Tao shouted.

"Agree, agree!"

As soon as Yin Tao said this, several people immediately raised their hands, and someone asked: "Yin Tao, how many times have you been excused a week?"

Yin Tao snorted and said proudly: "If I want, I can do it every day. There will be someone to take care of the food. Come and attract my group leaders, not too many."

"Men A and women are exempted" is the secret code and unspoken rule of Momo Group.

Every Momo group will hold a group gathering for as little as four or five days, or as long as ten and a half months. The group gatherings usually take place at KTVs, teahouses or hotels, where everyone eats, chats and plays together. The group gatherings are usually held on the same day. All fees are borne by all men who participate, while women are free of charge. This is called "men A and women are free".

Now, group gatherings have quickly turned sour. Someone sensed that there was profit in it. He would start more than a dozen groups by himself. The administrators appointed by each group were young and beautiful girls. He used these girls to The child's avatar attracts many people to join the group.

More than a dozen groups take turns and hold group gatherings every day. The group leader takes everyone to KTV, teahouses or hotels. He gets kickbacks from these places, and he turns the group gatherings into a business.

For a beautiful girl like Yin Tao, there will definitely be many group owners trying to pull her in. If she is willing, it is really possible for her to join more than a dozen different groups, take turns to attend group gatherings every day, and be exempted every day. of.

The theme has been decided, and even the title of the play has been decided. The next step is to invite the screenwriter to come over, and everyone will provide materials and put together the story.

Xiang Nan said to Yin Tao and several other actresses: "You guys join different groups for me immediately. The more the better. Go to more group gatherings to collect materials. By the way, when the screenwriter comes, you invite him to join the group and bring him with you every day." He went to a group party.”

"A's money comes from the group?" Yin Tao asked.

"Okay." Xiang Nan said.
