The Director of Music Department

Li Junsheng and Yan Lingxuan, the male and female protagonists of "The Play of Pulling the Silk", acted as a couple again after "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

In many cases, popularity and fame are completely different things. Movie stars are often not as popular as TV dramas.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be said to have created phenomenal ratings. Naturally, the popularity of Li Junsheng and Yan Lingxuan has also increased by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, when Li Junsheng and Yan Lingxuan walked onto the stage at the premiere of "The Silk-Drawing Opera", a large group of fans of the two of them shouted and screamed deafeningly.

The host of the premiere, Li Xiangxiao, waited until the fans' voices fell, and then said with a smile: "Junsheng and Lingxuan, this is the second time you have collaborated. This time, you are a couple, right?"

"Actually, strictly speaking, this time really can't be regarded as a couple's file, even if it is, it is a very special couple's file." Li Junsheng took the microphone and said.

Most of the audience below have seen the trailer, plus the "Silk Pulling Show", in which Yan Lingxuan actually plays a "marionette", and it really can't be regarded as a real couple.

"That's right, Lingxuan, how does it feel to be a puppet?" Li Xiang asked.

"How should I put it? The role this time is very special. Usually, I appear in the form of a doll, so the movements and expressions are different from normal performances. It is a very big challenge." Yan Lingxuan said .

"Then do you think you have succeeded in the challenge?" Li Xiang asked.

"In order to play this role well, I deliberately found a craftsman who made a marionette,..."

The performance of the two roles this time is obviously more challenging for Yan Lingxuan, but it is also very special for the audience.

Because Yan Lingxuan is not acting as a real person, but a puppet. In this way, when performing the silk-drawing play, it is actually performed by Yan Lingxuan, and there is a big difference between the performance of the silk-drawing play and the real person's performance. .

Not only physically, but also in facial expressions, etc. are very different.

In order to perform this play well, Yan Lingxuan not only learned about the production process of marionettes, but also watched a lot of silk-drawing plays.

Similarly, in order to play a good role as a silk-drawing performer, Li Junsheng specially apprenticed to an old silk-drawing performer to learn the skills of making silk puppets and drawing silk.

Of course, old crafts are not so easy to learn, but it gave him a deeper understanding of this industry.

In fact, "The Silk-drawing Opera" was finalized very early, but the post-production was rather troublesome. In addition, Xu Cang kept improving, so it took so long.

During the period, a lot of scenes were re-shot, and Li Junsheng was also pulled out to re-shoot during the astronaut training period.

 …

In fact, there are very few films of this type in China.

"Drawing the Silk Opera" is considered to be the first of its kind, of course, in terms of genre, it can actually be classified as oriental magic.

Finally, some basic processes of the premiere ceremony were completed, and the movie officially began to play.

Dai Xinyue was in a complicated mood. Seeing the subtitles of the movie, the production company was changed to Huaxin. Before that, the production companies of the films related to Wang Yifan were all under the name of Times Pictures.

subtitles past.

"Clang clang!" A burst of gongs and drums sounded.

In a certain teahouse, the stage was covered with a curtain, and suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared on it, it was a delicate puppet dressed in a palace costume, dancing on it.

Then there was a burst of applause from the audience.

During the banquet, a man in long gown sighed and shook his head.

"Brother Xi, why are you shaking your head? But do you think this show of drawing silk with stars is not good?" asked a scholar at the same table.

"It's not that it's not good, but it's not good enough. Although the technique is exquisite, it lacks the 'true' flavor! It's just a lifeless silk-drawing show." Said the scholar known as Brother Xi.

"Brother Xi's words are wrong. The puppet has no intention, but it is made by a craftsman. It is a dead thing. How can it be 'true'? Besides, this is the most famous silk-drawing troupe in the entire Chang'an City. Could it be that Brother Xi has seen it before? Better?" Another scholar asked.

"Do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Xi Ying asked her friend, a scholar.

"The child is silent and strange!"

"Brother Xi, don't you believe me?"

"Scholars of my generation believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius!"

"The theory of ghosts and gods is too ridiculous!"

A group of friends laughed and refuted.

Xi Ying didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I won't talk about it."

"Brother Xi's use of Tang Zai is not meaningful."

"That's right, even though I don't believe in ghosts and gods, it's okay to talk about it!"

"That's right, that's right, it's fine to use it purely as a pastime."

"The so-called don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, brother Xi, it's well said, it doesn't matter if we just believe it once, everyone agrees?"

Several friends persuaded and ridiculed.

Xi Ying glanced at the silk-drawing troupe on stage, and then at the silk-drawing dolls of different sizes and colors, smiled and said, "Forget it, then Xi will tell everyone about it." .”

Then, Xi Ying fell into memory.

This kind of narration in the form of memory and dictation is actually not uncommon in movies. However, Xi Ying's remarks aroused the curiosity of friends and classmates, and also aroused the curiosity of the audience.

As soon as the picture changed, it was March in Yangchun, and everything was revived, and it became, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, heavy snow fell.

A young scholar walked with his feet creaking in the thick snow.

The camera showed a close-up of the young scholar's face, isn't that what the scholar Xi Ying looked like when he was young?

The cold wind howled, and large flakes of snow fell. The young scholar tightened his cotton coat and said to himself, "It's getting dark, I need to find a place to hide."

Soon, the young scholar saw a ruined temple.

Ruined temples and the like, in ancient times, story books, movies, etc., can be said to be absolutely standard, and usually, ruined temples are also "accident-prone areas", as long as you enter the ruined temple, there will definitely be some stories.

Therefore, the appearance of the ruined temple made many viewers smile heartily!

Just like the law of the dead in some horror movies, ruined temples and temples are also standard in Huaguo's costume dramas.

Especially in martial arts, it is an inevitable place to appear.

Then, the young scholar trotted all the way into the ruined temple. The unknown god statue inside the ruined temple had already collapsed, but the young scholar saw a small pile of bonfires, and an old man in ragged clothes was sitting beside the bonfires.

The main character appeared, but what surprised the audience was that the old man was indeed played by Li Junsheng, but he was so old when he appeared?

Is it a disguise?

The wrinkled Li Junsheng looks like an old man half buried in the ground.

This made many viewers a little dumbfounded.

However, the next moment, following the gaze of the young scholar Xi Ying, the camera was attracted by a lifelike doll.
