Chapter 323 Returning to China
Hearing Ning Yuan's words, Liubimov looked at Ning Yuan speechlessly.

Ning Yuan held back his laughter, and thought to himself that if you come to Huaxia in ten or so years, you will probably learn the phrase "old iron piercing your heart".

Indeed, at that time, Rubimov didn’t do it on purpose, there was only one reason——

No money.

Although he didn't say anything at this time, he reached out and scratched the slightly curly hair on his head, showing that he was somewhat embarrassed.

Ning Yuan didn't have any worries, after all, Lubimov asked Ning Yuan to say whatever he thought many times before, and it was not a polite thing, he really thought so.

Then, the relatively speechless two suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, quack quack!"

In the end, Lubimov shrugged his shoulders at Meng Hui, who was a little confused:

"Does laughter still need translation?"

Meng Hui and the others were even more confused.

Oh yes, Mu Hui is the nickname Ning Yuan gave Meng Hui.

After laughing, Liubimov adopted Ning Yuan's suggestion and decided to design according to Huaxia's style.

In the process, Ning Yuan proposed one trick after another under the despairing eyes of the choreographer Jiang Dong. The key point is that he thinks these tricks are really good-looking.

Rubimov is also a bit like an old child in many cases, especially his ability to accept new things.

"This may be the secret of my eternal youth." When he said this, he winked at Meng Hui and the others, commonly known as being cute.

Since he directed "The Good Man in Sichuan Province" in the 60s, Rubimov has been walking more and more unrestrained on the road of "anti-Stani".

In the 80s, Lin Yinyu, a professor at the Huaxia Academy of Drama, happened to see Lubimov rehearse "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" in France while he was in exile.

"The only props he had on the stage were seven long wooden planks, which at first were the body of a car, then turned into trees, surrounded by a bathhouse for female soldiers, slid across to become a swamp, and finally became five The tombstone of a female soldier."

"He took the presumption of the stage to an extreme."

"At the end of the whole play, the wooden board becomes a screen, and the happy life of the five female soldiers is displayed through projection. In the rhythm of the waltz, the five sacrificed female soldiers stretch their limbs and lean against the erected wooden board. Spinning continuously like a dance, and gradually disappearing into the light and shadow.

The Russian drama critic Martov also read this version, and he made no secret of his touch at the time:

"That last scene where the planks of the woods whirled sadly, brought tears to the eyes."

Not only this one, but also the version rehearsed by Rubimov in the 70s, which is a world-renowned play like "Hamlet", has become one of the most important versions in the entire [-]th century.

In fact, since he became a director in the 60s, Lubimov has been studying and implementing the aesthetics of this "empty stage"—there is almost no set on the stage, or an extremely abstract and simple set—this is anti-Stani.

But often, Rubimov will use some small props, and they are all very accurate and realistic, even real historical relics-this is in line with Steiner.

This is his consistent style, pragmatism, what is easy to use, and he does not label himself as a school.

In "Hamlet", Rubimov cooperated with the stage designer Borovsky to make full use of this aesthetic.

There was nothing on the stage except for a huge screen, a thick wool fabric with an earthy color somewhere between gray and brown, with a rough surface that could move on stage in every angle and direction.There is a square area in the center of the proscenium filled with real dirt and several skulls to represent a tomb, swords hang on the front and rear walls, and a coffin, which in some scenes is used as a bench.

Other than that, there are no other props.

After the performance started, the curtain seemed to be transformed into a character on the stage. By moving it, various amazing effects were created on the stage——

First of all, it is the curtain itself. When it is lifted, it forms the entrance and exit of certain dramatic scenes. For example, Polonius, a traitor, and others are hiding behind this curtain to eavesdrop.

But on the other hand, the curtain is also a symbol. The coffin is placed in front of the curtain as a bench, which is the queen's bedroom. Four long swords protrude from the curtain, which becomes the throne.

And when the curtain is tilted, it is the wall against which Hamlet leans; when the curtain moves, it becomes a threat to the characters in the play.

With its size and weight, the giant screen creates a sense of oppression in the prison space. When the light shines from the back, it looks like prison bars. Its cobweb-like surface keeps the characters trapped, and when the characters die, the giant screen The curtain began to sweep across the stage mechanically, as if driven by the relentless hand of fate.

Lubimov is good at using limited resources to create infinite possibilities, and this time, he accepted Ning Yuan's suggestion, simplified into complicated, and began to toss about trivial things on the stage.

It was as if a skylight had been opened for him. When he was working, he had more enthusiasm than Ning Yuan and the others. At first, Meng Hui and the others' shocked eyes widened:
"Hey, it's no wonder you can be a master, this professionalism..."

It wasn't until they reacted that they realized that what is dedication is clearly liking.

Just like a child who likes a toy, he can devote [-]% of his energy to tirelessly, forgetting hunger and sleepiness.

Not to mention his artistic attainments, this kind of treatment still made Meng Hui and the others respect him.

"I know that love can make boring things interesting, but how can I be so passionate?" Liu Ye suddenly asked one day.

Lubimov smiled: "It's spiritual satisfaction, just like when you go to the toilet, you feel uncomfortable when you are constipated, but you enjoy it when you are smooth. The same thing is treated differently. If you don't like it, it's best to do it now." Just give up, because it will make you more and more painful."

Liu Ye was taken aback: "No, no, I really enjoy it."

He thought that his words made Rubimov dissatisfied, but Ning Yuan suddenly smiled and said:
"This is a metaphor with flavor, and Liu Ye replied, it smells so good."

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone burst out laughing, and after Ning Yuan translated, Lubimov laughed again.

……

"Okay, not bad, today is a perfect end, thank you guys and girls."

Following Rubimov's words, the first rehearsal at the end of August was successfully completed, and it basically met Rubimov's expectations—

He said before that there is no need to worry, so he divided this new version of the play into several stages.

And now, although he was still far from being completely satisfied, compared to his requirements in the first stage, he had already exceeded the limit.

"At least, the Russian language of the actors, although not yet standard, clearly knows which sentence should express which emotion, and that feeling came out."

After the rehearsal was over, Ning Yuan and the others went home and were about to return home.

And Liubimov had longed for China for a long time, so at the invitation of Ning Yuan and Meng Hui, he happily went there.

　Thank you for the reward of the little bird I love to fly, thank you for your support.
