I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 150 Inheritance and Development

"Peking opera outfits are too heavy, and it's really hard to imagine that Teacher Qian's voice can be so thin and high like a girl's when she sings."

"Well, I have practiced for many years."

Qin Muchu turned the steering wheel to the left and drove up the Huancheng Road. There were not many vehicles on the road after ten o'clock, and the lights illuminated the darkness ahead.

Thinking back to the few theater actors I met today, all of them have ten or even decades of experience, which must be more than enough for him and Zeng Li to dance with.

And they also brought their outfits with them, because Qin Muchu wanted to check the stage position, so he changed into his outfits and performed a performance.

It takes more than half an hour to put on that outfit.

Originally they wanted to put on face makeup, but Qin Muchu stopped them, otherwise it would take longer.

Qin Muchu doesn't understand drama, but he can feel the charm of dancing knives and guns and singing and fighting on the stage.

It can be seen that several drama actors cherish the opportunity of this Spring Festival Gala, even if they are only as backup dancers of the Spring Festival Gala.

When exchanging ideas later, Qin Muchu played the song "Red Ling". Teacher Qian didn't criticize the substandard opera, but asked a question, which touched Qin Muchu deeply.

Director Qin, do young people like to listen to such an opera?
Qin Muchu didn't know how to answer.

The predecessor of the film and television industry can be said to be drama, but with the development of the times, drama has declined.

Few people go to the theater, especially young people, almost none.

It seems that in this era, only feelings are left.

The decline of the industry has also led to the lack of successors. There are fewer people who learn opera, and even fewer people who can continue to learn and make a living from it.

Confused, don't know where to go.

It is the common state of theater actors.

A few years ago, some people said that filming in China was a dead end, and there was no one in the cinema on weekends.

This is hyperbole.

But it is very realistic that this happened in the theater.

That's why Teacher Qian asked after hearing the opera in "Red Pity", if the singing method is changed to this kind of singing, will it attract young people to watch?

Whether it is emergency medical treatment or actively seeking change, it fully shows that the drama industry seems to have really come to an end.

Moreover, Mr. Qian still sang Peking Opera. Even though Peking Opera is a well-known national quintessence, the situation of other operas is even more difficult.

Many have even lost their inheritance.

Teacher Qian is lucky, his two sons are willing to do this, and are willing to pass on Peking Opera.

But according to him, many of his fellow opera singers and seniors couldn't receive disciples and couldn't pass it on.

Yes, they have been engaged in the industry all their lives, and they have become "pit of fire" in their own hearts.

There have been twists and turns in the development of the drama.

During the Republic of China, Mr. Mei Lanfang and a group of old artists brought it to a peak and let the whole world see it.

But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a blow in a special period, which caused many old artists to fail to leave a legacy.

If that blow hurt the flesh and blood, the blow under the changing times can be said to have truly broken the root of the drama.

No one does not allow drama to exist, and even the state takes special care of it and vigorously supports the development of drama.

But the audience didn't like it.

This is the deadliest.

Therefore, Mr. Qian attached great importance to the invitation of this Spring Festival Gala, hoping to attract as many audiences as possible for the drama through this stage.

This made Qin Muchu a little sad.

Rabbit dead and fox sad?Not quite right.

But thinking of the day when the film and television industry is like the drama industry today, he instantly felt Teacher Qian's feelings.

"You don't seem very happy?"

Yang Mi noticed that Qin Muchu's mood was a little depressed.

"No."

Qin Muchu calmed down.

Yang Mi didn't believe it, she rolled her eyes, and instantly guessed the reason.

"Because of Teacher Qian and them?"

Qin Muchu didn't say anything, which was his tacit consent.

"You can really worry about it. Teacher Qian has already said..."

"say what?"

Yang Mi patted Qin Muchu's shoulder, looking old-fashioned,
"I occasionally watch TV movies, some of which are very interesting, it seems that there is a reason why no one listens to the movies.

Sometimes I think about it, why hold on to this 'old thing', no matter how good you sing, it's just those old ways, no one's songs are good...

But then I thought about it again, what if the common people like to listen to operas again one day?

Even if no one really likes to listen to opera anymore, the name 'Xi' will not be completely forgotten by people, right?
In the future, people will read the book and see "Peking Opera", "Kunqu Opera" and "Huangmei Opera"... If you want to see what these things are like, there must be a place to see them, right? "

Yang Mi scratched her head,

"Probably that's what it means, I can't remember the rest."

inherited.

These two words appeared in Qin Muchu's mind.

A thing does not necessarily have to be passed on because of its great usefulness. Sometimes it is passed on just to tell future generations that it was in the lives of the predecessors.

The relationship between the descendants and the predecessors is also because of these things, and they are connected together across the long river of time.

"Hey, why don't you talk again?"

Yang Mi patted Qin Muchu.

"What are you talking about while driving?"

Qin Muchu pushed Yang Mi's hand away and looked forward.

He has some ideas for his character design on the show.

Yang Mi glared at Qin Muchu and leaned back in her chair.

Do not say do not say.

But after holding back for a while, she couldn't help but speak again:
"What do you think of the actress today?"

"Which one? Li Wei?"

"Aren't you silent!? Why do you talk when you talk about actresses?"

Yang Mi sat up straight, the seat belt stretched out an astonishing arc and curve.

"Didn't you ask?
Qin Muchu was speechless.

"Then why do you remember other people's names once you meet them? It seems that the impression is quite deep."

Yang Mi approached Qin Muchu sideways, her eyes fixed on him.

I don't know if it was Qin Muchu's delusion, but he felt that Yang Mi's tone was a bit weird.

He stretched out his palm, pressed her head and pushed her back.

"There are only four drama actors in total, and she is the only actress. She is so young, it's hard not to be impressed."

Yang Mi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

He stroked the bangs messed up by Qin Muchu,

"Li Wei, that little girl is not simple."

……

After waiting for a while, Qin Muchu didn't speak, and Yang Mi couldn't help it:

"Why don't you ask her what's not simple?"

"I don't want to talk while driving." Qin Muchu replied.

"Cuckoo..."

Yang Mi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. If Qin Muchu wasn't driving, she would have definitely shot out.

Suppressing the urge to do it, he said:

"It seems that she doesn't want to continue to sing in the future. She wants to join the entertainment industry and become an actress."

Yang Mi recalled that when Li Huan talked to her today, she was full of envy for the actors, and asked her many industry-related matters. She could basically determine Li Huan's thoughts.

"Oh."

As soon as Qin Muchu finished speaking, a fist appeared next to his face.

Yang Mi stared at him aggressively:
"If you talk to me with this attitude, think carefully about the consequences."

Qin Muchu looked in the rearview mirror, there was no car.

He tapped the brakes suddenly, and the inertia caused by the sudden deceleration made Yang Mi charge forward, but was pulled back by the safety belt.

He was fine, but he was taken aback.

"What are you doing!?" She shouted at Qin Muchu angrily.

"My leg slipped, I'm sorry." Qin Muchu smiled.

"you--"

Yang Mi just wanted to make a move, but Qin Muchu was driving, so she stopped.

Waiting for the place to have your good fruit to eat!
She folded her arms around her chest, with a murderous look in her eyes.

Casting a glance at Yang Mi, Qin Muchu decided to follow Yang Mi's words to prevent her from getting angry.

"Isn't it normal for a drama actor to switch careers to become a film and television actor? Isn't Zeng Li one of them? Her classmate Yuan Quan also won awards."

"Yes, I also told her about Sister Li and recommended her to sign with my company."

"Oh."

"...Hurry up, I have something to do, it's urgent!"

……

At the entrance of the alley, Qin Muchu put Yang Mi down, refused her request to let him get out of the car, kicked the accelerator and drove away, leaving Yang Mi powerless and furious.

Die laughing, isn't he a fool, won't get out of the car and get beaten?

Back in the courtyard, it was almost twelve o'clock, so I went to sleep, and I didn't have to go to the studio tomorrow, but I had to go to the National Museum to meet the group of "old scholars" that Jin Dao said.

Early the next morning, Qin Muchu got up and set out for the museum.

When I got to the place, I explained my purpose to the security guard, and someone came to take me in.

He didn't go inside the hall, but went directly to the office area.

He was taken to a large room that resembled a laboratory.

What came into view was a large table, on which were placed several bronze wares, some brushes, and instruments Qin Muchu didn't recognize.

Several gray-haired elderly and middle-aged people gathered in a circle to discuss something.

Qin Muchu waited for a long time, saw that they were discussing intermittently, and said:

"Hello, I'm Qin Muchu, from the program group of the Spring Festival Gala."

In an instant, several people's eyes were attracted.

One of the middle-aged people said to the others:
"This is the program director who borrowed Qin Chao's bronze crane two days ago."

"The show on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Very young."

There was a lot of discussion.

The same middle-aged man just now looked at Qin Muchu and waved:

"Come here, come here."

A group of people walked to the rest area and sat on chairs, only Qin Muchu was still standing.

Seeing Qin Muchu standing there, the middle-aged man smiled and waved:
"Sit down, don't be nervous, we called you because we are interested in the program you mentioned, and want to see who came up with it. By the way, let me introduce. My surname is Zhang, and I am the curator of this museum. How many are..."

Qin Muchu felt that this might be the group of people he had met with the highest education.

There is no title without a professor at the end. Basically, they are university teachers, including archeology and history.

The eyes of these teachers were all focused on Qin Muchu, which made him a little nervous.

It's like being called to the office by a teacher in elementary school.

"Xiao Qin, why do you want to shoot such a program?" Director Zhang asked.

"Eh... there's no reason, I made a short film about Li Qingzhao before..."

"Li Qingzhao?"

A voice sounded, it was an old professor who taught history.

"Old Dai, what's the matter, the kid hasn't finished talking yet." Another old professor said.

"Isn't this excited to hear Li Qingzhao? If I was born in the Song Dynasty, I would definitely have to chase her."

Professor Dai's words were astonishing, and several old professors immediately laughed:
"Go on, can someone like you see you?"

"No matter how cowardly Zhao Mingcheng is, he's still an expert in gold and stone..."

The "young" middle-aged professors didn't say a word, and they couldn't see the slightest surprise on their faces when the old professors mocked each other. Instead, they were smiling.

Qin Muchu looked at the professors who were arguing, a little confused.

This was completely different from what he had imagined the old scholar would look like.

If he met them at the gate of the community, Qin Muchu would definitely think that they were a group of bragging old men.

"Haha, teachers are like this, people are old-hearted, laugh at you, laugh at you."

Director Zhang looked at Qin Muchu who was at a loss, and laughed.

"Curator Zhang, don't you want to persuade him?" Qin Muchu asked.

The old professors seemed to be very excited, and Qin Muchu had already heard swearing in dialects from many places.

"Persuasion? The one who quarrels the most is my teacher. How dare I persuade him."

Curator Zhang shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's okay. They'll be fine on their own in a while. It's often like this. They think about it when they don't see each other, and they quarrel when they meet. They're old and young."

After speaking, he stood up and said:
"Come on, let's go over there."

So Qin Muchu, Director Zhang and several middle-aged professors walked to another corner and sat down again.

Qin Muchu glanced at Professor Dai who had started to scold her. He should be a loyal fan of Li Qingzhao.

As the initiator of this scolding war, he was besieged and humiliated by many old professors "toads" and "wanted to be blind".

"Xiao Qin, continue to talk about your idea of ​​making this show." Director Zhang said.

Only then did Qin Muchu try to restrain his curiosity and answer the question:
"I made a short film about Li Qingzhao before and put it on CCTV, and the response was pretty good. CCTV wanted to do a similar program to promote traditional culture.

I just made a suggestion, the program can combine traditional culture and historical relics, these are national treasures. "

Qin Muchu picked out the reasons for making "National Treasure".

Director Zhang and several middle-aged professors were silent for a while after listening, lowering their heads in thought.

After a long while, it was Director Zhang who spoke, and he patted Qin Muchu on the shoulder:

"Well, at your age, it's good to have such thoughts.

We dig the graves of our ancestors every day, just to find our own roots, the roots of the nation, but when we find the roots, we can’t just know about it, we have to let the people of the Celestial Dynasty know about it, and publicity has become a big problem.

The museum also thought of many ways, went to the school to do publicity, and distributed leaflets, but the effect was not very good

Except for tourists from tour groups, no one is willing to visit the museum, and even those who come from tour groups are not very interested.

On the contrary, some foreign ghosts...foreigners, they are very interested and keep asking... Alas! "

At the end, Curator Zhang let out a long sigh.

Qin Muchu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

My own treasure, I don't take it seriously.

It turns out that foreigners don't like it, which is quite ironic.

At this time, another middle-aged professor next to him spoke.

Qin Muchu remembered him, his surname was Wang, he was a professor of history.

"In recent years, more and more people watch TV, and many people learn about history from TV dramas. But TV drama scripts are literary creations after all, and they are often rewritten or even written indiscriminately. I can't say this kind of propaganda. Good or bad, but ultimately misleading.

I don't know if your program is realistic or drama-oriented? "

Drama creation?

It was the first time for Qin Muchu to hear someone say "making things up" so fresh and refined.

"Basically, it is realistic. Whether it is characters or events, it is created according to historical records... But the part of drama creation is also indispensable. We also try to be as close to history as possible in this part, just like the "Bronze Crane" we did this time. "..."

Next, Qin Muchu explained in detail the shaping of the First Emperor in "The Bronze Crane".

Finally, I took out my laptop and played the recorded rehearsal video for them to watch.

This is what he prepared specially for fear of being asked questions about the show before he came, and it just came in handy.

The video played, and several middle-aged professors watched intently.

The ten-minute video was played quickly. They glanced at each other and saw each other's satisfied expressions.

"Yes, this kind of creation is within the allowed range."

Professor Wang, who just asked Qin Muchu "whether the program is realistic or dramatic", nodded with satisfaction and showed a smile.

"However, the actor of Yan Tai Zi Dan is a bit too young, he should be older than King Qin."

"Well, I've also considered this point. During the official performance, I will use makeup to make him look ten years older than King Qin."

After hearing this, Professor Wang was even more satisfied, so he nodded and said no more.

"Haha, old Wang, don't talk about it anymore? This Qin history is your most authoritative field."

Director Zhang joked with a smile.

"What is the most authoritative thing, history, who knows if the things dug out in the next tomb will overturn the previous cognition."

Professor Wang waved his hand, and what he said silenced all the professors.

His words were not without purpose.

The image of the First Emperor has always been a fatuous tyrant in recent years, and the Qin Dynasty is also a representative of tyranny.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were beheaded because they were worried that the rain would delay the construction period, so they rose up and became the fuse for the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

This story is recorded in "Historical Records" and is widely known.

However, the sleeping ground tiger bamboo bamboo slips unearthed in the 70s recorded many Qin laws, including punishment measures for being late for corvee labor.

"Imperial conquests are exhausted, and you can earn two armors. If you miss three to five days, you will lose money; from six days to ten days, you will earn one shield; after ten days, you will earn one armor. What you get, and attainment. Water and rain, eliminate prosperity. .”

意思是延期3到5天给予口头警告的处罚；6天到10天罚一个价值盾牌的财物；10天以上罚价值一副铠甲的财物。

The most important thing is that if it is delayed due to rain and water accumulation on the road, it can be exempted from punishment, and even exempt from this service.

This is completely different from what is recorded in "Historical Records", and the reasons for the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings are not established.

In the Qin tomb unearthed in 2002, people's understanding of the Qin Dynasty was even more subverted, with corvee service, Great Wall repair, widespread war, burning books and burying Confucianism...

These so-called tyranny have different explanations and records from other history books.

……

"It's pretty good. With an expert like you to promote history and traditional culture, we just need to do our own thing well."

Director Zhang smiled and patted Qin Muchu on the shoulder, and several other middle-aged professors also nodded in agreement.

Director Zhang said again:
"If you want to shoot history-related things in the future, if you have any questions that you don't understand, feel free to ask us."

Qin Muchu was overjoyed when he heard the words. When he rehearsed the drama "Bronze Crane", he was delayed for a few days because of the layout of the scenes and costumes. Later, he invited some experts to solve the problem.

With this network, it will be much easier to make historical dramas in the future.

After all, experts these days are true and false.

But these professors must be real experts.

Immediately said:
"sure."

Suddenly, there was a loud shout.

"Back when you lived in the cowshed, I shouldn't have secretly sent you steamed buns, starving you to death, you old bastard!"

Qin Muchu looked around, and saw that Old Professor Dai had already taken the case.

Another old professor calmly retorted:

"You wouldn't be here today if you didn't send steamed buns? I didn't teach you how to read. You can't even write your name now. You don't know where to bury it!"

"Fart, I'm ten years younger than you, so I'm sure I'll die behind you!"

"You're a motherfucker who farts!"

……

The two old professors were already attacking personally, and they probably forgot why they were arguing right now.

The few people beside him not only refused to persuade, but also quietly turned on each other.

"Ahem, well, the two teachers have known each other for most of their lives, and they are both teachers and friends, haha."

Director Zhang looked at the dumbfounded Qin Muchu, and felt a little embarrassed.

Several teachers have reached the age of retirement, and the general cultural relics do not need them to go out of the mountain, but they are all left to him and these "young people" to do.

When they heard about the show, a few old brothers discussed getting together, the focus was on quarreling... No, to connect with each other, the show was just a pretext.

Otherwise, we can't keep arguing, regardless of the program.

"Ahem, the old professor is in good health."

Qin Muchu smiled awkwardly, got up and said goodbye:
"Then I'll go first, you are busy, don't send it off."
