Chapter 955 (2/2)
Meng Lang clapped his forehead and thought of it in an instant.
When the second season of thunder puppet was released, he went to thunder studio to inspect his work, and the person in charge mentioned ”shadow play” to him.
The title of the play had not yet been determined.
Meng Lang strongly supports the project team's idea of ”promoting traditional culture” and promises to provide them with sufficient production funds.
A year or two passed in the twinkling of an eye!
After a long time without news, Meng Lang thought the project was aborted, and he didn't pay attention to it.
I didn't expect to do it!
”How about a film?”
”It should be OK!”
Ma Teng scratched his head and said, ”I haven't seen it either. I just heard them say that many people were moved and cried during the internal screening.”
Moved to cry?
Is it a tragedy?
Meng Lang frowned and said, ”tragedy is hard to handle. Children don't like tragedy very much.”
Adults don't like it either!
Tragedy can greatly enhance the sense of resonance, but the reality is cruel enough. The audience needs comfort in the virtual world. Do you want to cut him?
”It's not a tragedy, it's not a tragedy!”
Ma Teng explained: ”I've read the script. The stories are mainly traditional myths, fables and folklores.”
”How can you cry?”
”I don't know...”
Ma Teng didn't know the inside story. Meng Lang, who couldn't find the answer, had to ask thunder studio to take a sample film home to watch.
At this point, he was stupid!
Thunder studio!
They used the online story of ”rebirth of the strong” in ”thunder puppet”, but they didn't expect that this time ”shadow play legend” was the same.
This time it's ”single player unlimited flow”!
The story of the shadow play legend is very simple.
Tang yuan, the protagonist, became a traditional shadow puppet performer after graduation under the pressure of his father, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.
But he didn't want to live like this all his life!
Shadow play can't make a lot of money, buy a big house, and marry a beautiful wife. He plans to work for a few years, save some money and go back to work in big cities.
His father couldn't get used to his attitude and often scolded him for ”not paying enough attention” and ”performing without soul”.Tang Yuan was also disgusted with his father.
What happened to the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage? It's not that you can't make a lot of money if you put on a good name? If you have time to think about shadow puppets, you can make a fortune by raising some chickens, ducks and fish!
Father and son often quarrel.
After a quarrel, Tang Yuanqi ran away from home and went to the prosperous Jiangchuan to make a living. The father and son did not see each other for five years.
Five years later, he found that the big city was not so beautiful. Tang yuan, who felt the cruelty of reality, received a call from the hospital
My father died!
Tang Yuan inherited his will and clumsily manipulated the shadow puppets to fight according to his father's instructions.
”It's not pretty at all!”
”Come on, let's go to the cartoon...”
The children in the village chirped around and dispersed in drowsiness.
Tang Yuan thought of his father.
”Shadow puppet without soul, it can't keep the audience...”
What is the soul of shadow play?
After drinking some wine, Tang yuan fell asleep on a bamboo chair under the grape tree planted by his father in the courtyard.
When he woke up, the world changed!
He became a shadow puppet!
In front of us, all the plants and trees have become shadow puppets. He seemed to live in a black and white world, and could not see any light.
I saw a strange bird flying by
It seems to have a stone in its mouth. The bird flew back and forth several times. Tang Yuan was curious and asked, ”bird, bird, do you build a nest with stones?”
”I'm not a bird. I'm the daughter of Emperor Yan. I'm going to fill the whole East China Sea with stones.”
This is the story of ”Jingwei reclamation”.
Tang Yuan won the ”adventure”, he would travel to the shadow puppet world every once in a while, witnessing all kinds of stories.
There are myths such as Kua Fu chasing the sun and Jingwei reclaiming the sea, folktales such as Yugong moving mountains and Kong Rong letting pears, and historical stories such as Dayu harnessing the water and suwu herding sheep
The more stories he witnessed, the more affection he devoted to shadow puppets.
Because in other people's eyes, these shadow puppets are just performance props. But in his eyes, these shadow puppets are all living people.
He finally found the soul of the shadow play, and the performance became more and more popular. He even went to the National Grand Theater, where many foreign leaders applauded.
But he's too old to do it.
His son, just like he did in those years, was not interested in shadow puppetry and failed to find its soul.
Like a samsara!
His son also left. He made a home in the city. Although he would come back to see his father Tang yuan on New Year's day, he failed to inherit his craft.
Until one day, my son cried that he was cheated in his business.
Tang yuan, who was in the hospital bed, remembered what his father had said to him in those years: ”it's really no good. Take my shadow puppet to perform. You can always have a bite to eat...”
That winter, he died.
The son picked up his ”shadow puppet treasure box” and performed awkwardly and shyly. He was also ridiculed.
Under the grape tree, my son fell asleep
This film is dedicated to those shadow puppet masters who bring warmth and joy to our childhood. Time is fleeting and shadow puppets are not old! 】
[-- thunder film and television --]
works with great temperature!
After watching this short 24 episode short story, Meng Lang suddenly understood why so many people were moved to cry when it was shown inside.
Because, he also cried.
He remembered that when he was a child, he would go to the Lantern Festival, and those masters who performed Lion Dance, stilt walking, face changing and shadow play on the street were becoming more and more rare.
Inheritance is dying out, but we can't do anything.
In reality, there is no ”Tang Yuan's adventure”. The protection of intangible cultural heritage and the development of Chinese traditional culture are always slogans, which are hard to achieve.
Because young people don't like it anymore.
Traditional literature and art without audience will only wither. Young people don't like to see and learn. How can there be a way out?
”Thunder studio, made an excellent work! If I don't win the prize, I'll write my name upside down... ”
Half way through, Meng Lang choked.
Win the prize?!
Ah, this
Although the legend of shadow play is not an award-winning work, it has its own advantages. Thunder studio is still doing so well. It's hard to say that it won't win the prize.
So here's the problem!
Before that, he and Li Wanbo were very glad that there was no great turning point, comrade XX and other works this year, and Saiwen x is very promising for the award.
Now, how are you doing? I've got a hit!
