It can be said that many netizens may be a little unfamiliar with the name Of Zhang Xiaolong, but if you talk about the "Wen Taiyi" in the braid drama "The Biography of Zhen Huan", you will feel very familiar, and this "Wen Taiyi" is played by Zhang Xiaolong.
In addition to the first identity of the actor, Zhang Xiaolong's other identity is that of an ancient Chinese etiquette teacher. He has served as a etiquette guide in costume dramas such as "Langya List", "The Legend of Mi Yue", "Ru Yi Chuan" and other costume dramas, and has been committed to popularizing Chinese etiquette and spreading traditional culture for many years.
"There are some aesthetic things that can only be reflected in theatrical works, including the work of etiquette guidance, and if I don't do it, very few people will do it." I felt that there was a sense of mission in doing etiquette, so I still had to do it. ”
Zhang Xiaolong recently took a photo
Zhang Xiaolong was admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy in 1994, majoring in folk dance, in addition to the actors and etiquette instructors we are familiar with, he actually has many other identities: bachelor of ethnic folk dance, master of ancient Chinese history, associate professor of the Central Academy of Drama, master tutor.
In the background of the central video "Echoes of The Years, Chongyang Poetry Society", xiaobian had the honor to chat with teacher Zhang Xiaolong about the artistic creation of traditional culture such as Hanfu and dance. Come and hit the chat scene!!!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > about the Hanfu revival</h1>
Someone once asked me, "Teacher Zhang, how do you understand the current Hanfu revival?" I said, this kind of cultural self-confidence is very good, I have loved to wear sheets since I was a child, I think this is a pursuit of beauty, there is no problem. For the inheritance of Hanfu and embroidery is very necessary, Miao girls learn Miao embroidery from a young age, slowly grow up to adhere to Miao embroidery, is a process of accumulating marriage dowry, this sense of growth ceremony is very meaningful.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Hanfu shape must be correct</h1>
In fact, all the standards are ceremonial. Etiquette has changed in any dynasty, the old saying is "no doctor, no etiquette", the common people have not reached the level of clothing, before the clothing is warm, the stomach is full, it is not necessary to talk about etiquette.
We have to zoom in a bit. After all, we are not going back to ancient times, or we have to be based on the present, and we want to make wearing Hanfu a daily fashion. In fact, it is difficult to make complex things simple, and we need to make Hanfu simple and let the world walk into it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > about Henan Satellite TV Mid-Autumn Festival Fantastic Tour</h1>
The crane in this Henan Satellite TV dance program is anthropomorphic and the actor's dance, and finally returns to Huizong's "Ruihe Tu"; the ink dance combines realistic calligraphy with freehand ink swinging, and finally returns to Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Festival". The original idea was a story I mentioned when I was practicing drama sketches in Chinese opera.
The show was filmed in a week, and at the end I was still cutting the makeup and styling of the actors. From the earliest creative requirements to the final on-site shooting, I have been involved. In fact, at the beginning of this show did not have the element of the crane, I said that we have done so many episodes of the program, whether it is Tang Palace or King Kong is a realistic work, and now it still needs a fairy-like image like a crane, so I said that the crane must be a hot search.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > programs should give the public realistic sensory stimulation</h1>
At first glance, it is a painting, the people inside move, come out and tell a story, and then flashback like a twist flower, and return to the history and origin of this painting, which is a good idea to spread. In fact, like Henan Satellite TV's program this time, it is still more freehand, including the dance about fish done by the previous b station, which is still too elegant. The audience needs an intuitive and realistic sensory stimulation, and needs to transform the rich connotation into visible light and shadow and physical effects.
Like the one I did for Ha Hui before, silent dance, just a pure feeling. If the lights sweeping around the building flicker, the style will become lower, and the shorter the things I ask me to do, the better. While she was changing clothes in the middle, there was a performance called "Ink", and the person who wrote in ink was a coal boss, he was very rich, he loved to write, and he had to write with a brush in a difficult way. He asked me what I was going to write, and I said you were going to write something that no one else could understand.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > to tell cultured stories in opera</h1>
Previously, on "Crossover Singer King", Li Yugang had an opera, he sang very well, and the story effect was also very good. But the clothes of the opera need to be more delicate, and for many years, the clothes of the drama have not changed, and the craftsmen who used to do it are not done now. Here there is a large saturated strong convection.
And now many operas set in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, the characters use flags. It is because of the experience of the Qing Dynasty, so the creative team believes that the princess should be the flag head, it is a freehand process, including our rowing or horseback riding, are performed in a freehand way, it also has many advantages, but now young people do not go inside.
In fact, the story of opera, each one is very good, although it is a story about ancient times, but the literary skills are there, if it is refined, the rhythm is more compact, it will be much better.
Speaking of which, I think China in the Classics does a great job in this regard. There are also Kun opera actors who write operas with kunqu sets, which are very shocking and still have a threshold. Recently, there seem to be a few more musicals, and we have time to talk about it again
