Chapter 127 Do you call this understanding a little bit?
If nothing else, there was no accident.
"Hawthorn Tree Love" won by a large margin and will represent Yenching University in the National College Student Drama Performance.
“Wow, wow, wow.”
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a tsunami of applause.
As expected, the audience cheered and applauded. It took a long time for the enthusiasm to subside, and they began to leave one by one.
Sitting in the front row, Fang Yan inevitably wants to talk about "Hawthorn Tree Love" with leaders, critics and editors in the theater industry.
Ji Xianlin and others did not leave immediately, but stayed to encourage the winning team, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and strive to get good results for Yenching University, while also appeasing the losing team.< br>
The drama team of the Department of History is not discouraged and plans to rehearse "Medea" and "Prometheus Bound" in the future, performing the three classic tragedies of ancient Greece one by one.
“Nonsense, if you don’t act in so many good scripts, why do you have to act in a scene about a son marrying his mother?” The leader of the drama bureau was quite dissatisfied, “Even if we want to act in it, why not act in “Thunderstorm”? ?”
""Thunderstorm" is a copy of "Oedipus the King"!"
Some people in the drama team were very unconvinced.
Hearing this, Jiang Wen and Li Baotian secretly broke away from the group of Zhong Opera and joined in to watch the fun.
I saw Wan Fang and Fang Yan walking over.
When Wan Fang heard the word "copy", her face suddenly darkened, and she was about to have a good argument with the students.
Dialect also joined in, explaining patiently.
Although "Thunderstorm" draws on "Oedipus the King", the core of the two is completely different. One is the theme of fate, and the other is not only a tragedy of fate, but also a social tragedy.
“I didn’t expect Teacher Fang to know drama so well.”
The more Li Baotian listened, the more it made sense.
Jiang Wen frowned, "No, I just watched the dean and the others discuss drama with Teacher Fang. Teacher Fang always said to everyone that he knows a little bit, and understands a little bit. This is called 'a little bit' ?”
"Did you hear it correctly?"
Li Baotian smiled like "Liu Luoguo".
Jiang Wen curled his lips and said, "I heard wrong, so I will chop off my ears and prepare the next meal for you, but if I heard right..."
"Stop, stop, stop. , Why should I eat your ears? I won’t be able to eat them without running out of my stomach and dying in a manure pit,” Li Baotian joked.
Not only was Jiang Wen not angry, but he also laughed and said, "Stop making a fuss. I'm not the only one listening to this. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Daoming."
Ever since, the two found Chen Daoming and other classmates.
I saw them exchanging their performance experience in "Hawthorn Tree Love" with Xiao Feng. At the same time, reporters such as "People's Drama" and "Literary News" were not far away, catching the director and screenwriter. Ying Da and the heroine and screenwriter Bai Ruoxue will conduct an interview, and the content will be reported in the next issue of the journal.
"We can perform so well, thanks to Teacher Fang!"
The answers from Bai Ruoxue, Yingda and others were surprisingly unanimous.
Stanislavski, Brecht, Expressionists, Methodists, Experiencers, etc., all spoke their dialects to them, repeating it to them as much as possible.
His theories and insights are novel and surprising.
A thought flashed through Jiang Wen’s mind, is this called understanding a little bit?
“There is such a thing.”
Feng Fengzi and Ruan Ruoshan looked at each other with great interest.
“Where are the dialect speakers?
"I just saw him greeting me."
Seeing them looking for dialects, Jiang Wen immediately shouted "I know" and then took the initiative to invite people to come over and see him.
“It’s you.”
Fang Yan narrowed his eyes.
“Hey, Teacher Fang.”
Jiang Wen stood in front of him, his edge slightly dimmed.
Fang Yan patted him on the shoulder and walked over with Wan Fang. The pomp was quite grand. He was a professor of foreign literature at Yanda, the dean of Chinese Opera, a great master in the field of drama and opera, and an editor of opera and drama journals. The people in charge were all there, staring at him with their eyes.
Wan Fang quickly said, "Yanzi has just studied drama and drama with my father not long ago. Teachers, please don't take offense if I say something wrong or wrong."
"It turns out it is. Mr. Cao."
When the identity of the "named disciple" was revealed, everyone was surprised. No wonder Fang Yan always has the same theory.
It turns out that half of the drama teacher is Wan Jiabao!
As the only junior among the big guys, Jiang Wen felt that he had heard some great news. His eyes widened and he stared at the man who was about the same age as him.
“…”
Fang Yan glanced at Wan Fang and couldn’t help but be moved.
This is because I am afraid that I will say the wrong thing and be embarrassed, so I give myself a bright amulet in advance. After all, even if I don’t give Shen Yanbing some face, I still have to give Wan Jiabao some thin face. Don’t deliberately make things difficult. .
Feng Fengzi was the first to stand up, and started to communicate from the shallower to the deeper, allowing him to get into the state, and others joined in the discussion.
The topic became more and more high-end, and Ruan Ruoshan suddenly asked a question:
"Xiao Fang, do you think Stanislavsky, Brecht, and Melanfang are the three major dramas in the world? System?
Fang Yan didn’t answer immediately, but from Wan Fang’s I learned from my mouth that the "three major drama systems in the world" have triggered heated discussions in the theater, opera, and even literary and art circles.
According to what Bai Ruoxue and others just reported, Ruan Ruoshan mistakenly thought that he was "the world's drama system." Supporter of the theory of "Three Major Drama Systems".
However, to everyone's surprise, it's just the opposite! “I think a world theater system exists.”
“But I think Stanislavsky, Brecht, and Melanfant, rather than calling them theater systems, It would be more appropriate to call it a performing arts system."
The dialect is amazing and attracts everyone's attention.
Feng Fengzi and Ruan Ruoshan immediately became interested.
Ji Xianlin encouraged with kind eyes:
“There is no right or wrong here, feel free to say it boldly, the speaker is not guilty, and the listener is warned.”
“Then I will try to do the same thing. "
Fang Yan cleared his throat and told everything he knew.
The statement that Stanislavsky, Brecht, and Melanfan formed the three major theater systems in the world is actually a rumor that spreads falsehoods and becomes true.
This view first came from 1962.
In the theater criticism circles at that time, there were Jiao Juyin in the north and Huang Zuolin in the south. At the national symposium on the creation of dramas, operas, and children's dramas, Huang Zuolin published ""Random Talk" on Drama Views", mentioning Bleich for the first time. Te, Melanfant and Stanislavsky.
But it only mentioned the "view of drama". The original intention was to promote traditional opera and enhance the world status of opera.
Then this year, another article with similar views was published, "A Comparison of Melanfant, Stanislavski and Brecht's Drama Views". This time Stanislavski was called "Steny system", but it does not say that Melanfant and Brecht have any theoretical systems, nor does it summarize the three of them into "the three major drama systems in the world".
The person who proposed this point of view was Sun Huizhu, a master of theater.
He successively published "A Preliminary Study on the Aesthetic Ideals of the Three Major Drama Systems", "A Dynamic Investigation of the Aesthetic Value of the Three Major Drama Systems", and "The Three Major Drama Systems in the World" was born.
Controversy soon arose, and the controversy spread more and more widely, but it was completely contrary to Huang Zuolin's original intention.
Only Mei Lanfang was highlighted, but Chinese opera was ignored.
Not to mention that Mei School is only a genre of Peking Opera, Chinese opera is not only a genre of Peking Opera, but also Cantonese Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, Henan Opera, etc.
Therefore, Sun Hye-joo's view of "the world's three major drama systems" has too many loopholes, and has often been questioned and criticized by the literary and art circles.
Unexpectedly, it became popular day by day, spread for a long time, quoted many times, and eventually became "well-known common sense."
It was not until the beginning of the 21st century that it was overturned by the new "world drama system" theory and corrected into a "performing art system".
"Since you think these three are just performing arts systems, in your opinion, what are the world's drama systems?"
Whatever Feng Fengzi asked him to have, he said.
“I personally think so. Can Greek drama, Indian Sanskrit drama, and Chinese opera be classified as the ‘three major drama systems in the world’?” Dialect said the “standard answer” for later generations.
"Chinese Opera?!"
The big guys in the opera world who were from different factions from Mei Lanfang immediately became energetic, and their eyes were shining like they had never seen before.
If it is the Meilanfang system, all the glory belongs to the Meipai.
But when it comes to the Chinese opera system, they are not sleepy!
Seeing that most of the people present did not object, Fang Yan turned his attention to Ji Xianlin, "Mr. Ji, I only have a superficial understanding of Tianzhu Sanskrit opera. You are a master of Tianzhu studies and Sanskrit. In this way, Sanskrit opera can be attributed to As one of the world’s theater systems, what do you think?”
"This point of view is worth exploring and studying!"
Ji Xianlin thought he was just here to watch a show today, but he didn't expect that it would be related to his academic direction.
While feeling interested, he smiled and said:
"Xiao Fang, how could you think of summarizing these three types of drama into the 'three major drama systems in the world'?"< br>
“I always remember what my teacher, Mr. Yan Bing, often told me: only what belongs to the nation belongs to the world!”
Fang Yan looked serious and explained his point of view.
Wan Fang glanced at him, then looked at Feng Fengzi and other editors of drama journals. They were all excited, as if they had found a rare treasure. She could understand their mood at the moment.
Once this theory of dialect is published in periodicals such as "People's Drama", it will be enough to cause an uproar. Not only is it very likely to overthrow Sun Hye-joo's theory, it is not even impossible to become one of the "three major dramas in the world" that is truly recognized by the literary and art circles. system".
Once successful, at this age, with this achievement...
It is not an exaggeration to call him a "young drama theorist"!
Seeing Fang Yan talking and laughing with Ji Xianlin and others, Jiang Wen's head was buzzing. Although he couldn't understand it, he was greatly shocked.
This kind of shock did not disappear completely even on the way back to school. Jiang Wen remained silent and walked with his head lowered.
“Why didn’t you say anything along the way?”
Li Baotian came up.
“What did you say?”
Jiang Wen's eyes were erratic.
"Teacher Fang, I asked Yue Hong just now. Indeed, he said that he only knows a little bit, but I think that is because he is humble."
Li Baotian joked, "How can anyone Are they all as bold and sharp as you?”
“That’s not called ‘humility’, Teacher Fang.”
“What’s that?”
"Low-key."
Jiang Wen couldn't help but tremble: "Do you understand low-key? Yes, Teacher Fang, you are so awesome!"
