I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 241 "China in Poetry" Issue !
Swish swish!
Under the dim kerosene lamp, Chen Jin sat there, writing "Xiangjiang Review" at his desk.

This is Changsha in 1919.

The camera gave him a close-up. At the moment when Chen Jin wrote "The world is our world" with great enthusiasm, his vigorous and powerful brushstrokes seemed to pierce people's eyes through the camera.

The soothing sound of the back slowly dissipated from the stage.

slam-la-

The camera zooms out, and there is a thunderstorm outside the window. Raindrops hit the oil-paper window, vaguely reflecting Chen Jin's furrowed brows and determined eyes.

His eyes are full of longing for the future and pursuit of ideals.

The movement of writing quickly is full of the drive and enthusiasm of young people.

This is the scene from Act I.

The kerosene lamp cast Chen Jin's slightly thin outline on the earth wall. His eyes and brows seemed to contain blazing sparks. His palms were pressed against the yellowed pages of the book, his knuckles turned white due to the force, but there was a smile at the corners of his lips - that was the excitement of having a glimpse of the truth for the first time.

Details, performances, shapes, etc. are all contained therein.

Liu Gang, who was sitting in the audience, looked at the monitor and couldn't help but clench his fists.

This scene was really well acted.

It feels like an improvement over the Spring Festival Gala. The characters stand firm where they sit, without any tension at all.

……

Everyone watched Chen Jin's performance without blinking until the camera began to pull away.

"can!"

Liu Gang shouted, "Relax, let's start the second act!"

This scene has actually been recorded several times. Whether it is up to standard depends on the post-production and whether it needs to be re-shot.

At present, Liu Gang felt that Chen Jin was very into the role in this scene.

The feeling and the look are there.

Next is the second act, and post-production will connect the two acts smoothly.

It’s also a transition shot.

clap clap clap!
Raindrops slid down the windowsill, the picture became blurred, the sound of rain gradually weakened, and turned into ripples of ink dripping from the tip of the pen onto the manuscript paper.

At this time, the camera gradually zoomed out, and the "Xiangjiang Review" newspaper on Chen Jin's desk was turned by the wind, and the date quickly flipped from "1919".

"Kunpeng Strikes the Waves", "Asking the Vastness"... "On Protracted War".

Countless manuscripts appear in the picture, until "1938"!
"Transform China and the world!"

Chen Jin stood up, and the powerful lines gradually faded away. This was a transition of sound; then Teacher Tang Guoqiang gave a powerful speech: "The deepest source of the power of war lies in the people!"

When this voice sounded, the audience's expectations for middle age were instantly raised.

Snapped!
Chen Jin closed the Xiangjiang Review, stood up and opened the window. At this moment, the wind and rain suddenly stopped, and the camera followed his sight and traveled to the streets of Changsha.

The special effects and scenes on the stage switched instantly.

Chen Jin, wearing a long gown, stood there, next to him were the extras students who were handing out flyers.

The panoramic view zoomed in and finally focused on Chen Jin.

His eyes were firm and stern, and he held a leaflet in his hand, on which was written "Drive out the Tartars, Restore China"; he was surrounded by bustling streets with crowds of people, and in the distance came the sounds of reading in the school and hawking on the street. The picture was full of youthful vitality and vigor of young people.

The strong contrast opens the final scene.

Of course it’s in the Xiangjiang River.

Hua Hua Hua——

The surging Xiangjiang River symbolizes the unstoppable torrent. The camera quickly zooms out to reveal a panoramic view.

Chen Jin stood at the tip of Orange Island, looking at the rolling waves of the Xiangjiang River, his eyes full of pursuit and thinking about new ideas. He held a copy of New Youth magazine in his hand. He was surrounded by busy dock workers and ships coming and going. In the distance came the slogans of students and the shouts of the working class...

Hundreds of boats are racing against each other, and the waves are trying to stop them!
The "Internationale" and a few lines from "沁园春·长沙" sounded, making Chen Jin's posture extremely prominent.

He opened his hands slightly, as if embracing the future.

"Ready, turn!"

Liu Gang was shouting there.

Chen Jin took a deep breath, making his breath steady and powerful.

The whole person suddenly became still.

Swish!
The moment Chen Jin opened his eyes, everyone could clearly feel a slight difference.

The eyes are as sharp as torches, black and bright!
Combined with the refraction of stage light and shadow, it looks like a flash of light in the darkness.

He raised his head slightly, and his upward posture gave people a sense of foresight, as if he was looking into the distant future!

The upward curve at the corner of the mouth makes her look extremely confident and determined, with a strong sense of belief. Combined with the heroic spirit revealed between the thick eyebrows made up, everyone feels a kind of courage to face difficulties.

Chen Jin's performance of this unique temperament and charm is extremely moving.

Countless people stared at Chen Jin who was standing there. He was not motionless. The delicate treatment of his eyes and facial movements made him look very real.

Facing the vast sky and earth and the surging Xiangjiang River, it seems as if one can see through everything in the world.

This look seemed to be penetrating, just like the fire burning in his heart, ready to risk his life for his ideals at any time.

"sculpture!"

“It’s exactly the same as the sculpture at Orange Island!”

Liu Gang remembered it and felt a burning sensation in his heart.

Why does Chen Jin's expression at this moment look so familiar? I get goosebumps all over my body.

Because he has seen it.

Many people around have seen him in real life. He was standing at the tip of Orange Island.

Looking up and far away, there is both hope for the future and worry about reality in his eyes.

At this moment, a maple leaf fell, and a manuscript with "沁园春·雪" written on it instantly flashed out from the maple leaf... The maple leaf symbolizes the memory of the past, and the manuscript represents the inheritance of this memory.

The picture gradually zoomed out, Chen Jin's figure faded away, and the waves of the Xiangjiang River gradually became blurred.

The outline of Jinggang Mountain suddenly appeared on the stage!
The color tone also gradually changes from bright sunlight to soft warm tones.

In the scene of Chen Jin, the light shines from the side, forming a bright light and shadow effect, highlighting his youth and vigor; while in the scene where the middle-aged man appears, the light shines from above, forming a soft light and shadow effect, highlighting his calmness and wisdom.

The switch in tones in this scene also symbolizes the transition from the passion of youth to the calmness of middle age.

Tang Guoqiang, wearing a Zhongshan suit, slowly appeared in everyone's sight. He seemed to be standing on the top of Jinggang Mountain, looking out at the mountains and rivers with a deep gaze.

Behind him are lush bamboo forests and winding mountain roads, and in the distance come the sounds of military bugles and soldiers' slogans... The music in Chen Jin's scene gradually weakens, while the military music gradually increases, with a smooth transition in rhythm and melody, and the continuity of the transition is suddenly pulled up.

The top of Jinggang Mountain is surrounded by bamboo forests, with mountains in the distance.

Tang Guoqiang stood on the top of the mountain, with his hands in the same position as Chen Jin just now.

Everyone was in a trance, as if Chen Jin had aged all of a sudden... But with the rhythm and strength of his movements, everyone felt a span of time and age.

As I get older, my movements become slower, but my spirit is stronger.

He suddenly looked into the distance with a telescope in his hand. His movements were calm and powerful, a completely different feeling from that of Chen Jin just now.

But no one felt anything abrupt, instead there was a sense of sadness at the passing of time.

No one can resist it, not even him.

This transition design is actually quite impactful when viewed live.

Adding various renderings and overlaps in the later stage will only make it stronger.

From the passion and pursuit of youth to the maturity and responsibility of middle age... and then, after the transition, the story officially unfolds.

The Long March, Chishui...a plot of nearly 40 minutes.

Finally, it was teacher Tang Guoqiang’s infectious voice that slowly recited the poem "沁园春·雪"!
"The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice..."

clap clap clap!
The whole audience burst into thunderous applause, and Chen Jin even had tears in her eyes.

Different from his spirited recitation of "沁园春·长沙", Tang Guoqiang's powerful voice has strong penetrating power. Combined with the magnificent snow scene on the big screen of the stage and the passionate background music with classical charm, the heroism and magnificence of this poem made everyone in the audience excited when listening and watching it.

It can be seen that Tang Guoqiang prepared for a long time to recite this poem.

All the emotional climaxes are in this poem.

The previous performances seemed to be just a prelude.

However, the lyrics were the climax, and the poetry recitation started with the northern scenery, but kept getting higher all the way; no matter the sound or the emotion, the progressive recitation made everyone tremble all over.

It's not just goose bumps.

The majestic momentum seemed to surround their minds.

Chen Jindu seemed to be in the scene described in the poetry, immersed in it...the Yellow River and the Yangtze River were blowing in his face.

I have to sigh, old ginger is still spicy.

Chen Jin really felt that his poem "沁园春·长沙" was amazing.

But in this song and the other party's performance, it's like the difference between youth and middle age.

Both are very strong, but "沁园春·雪" is obviously more powerful.

At that time, his state of mind should have been that of being invincible in the world.

Unlike "Changsha", it's just confidence in the future.

These are two completely different mindsets.

"As expected, he is the future leader of Bilibili. He is really awesome!"

After the recording of the program ended, Chen Jin waited for Tang Guoqiang to leave the stage. His face was a little pale and sweat was oozing from his forehead. The recitation of the last poem almost exhausted his energy.

"Teacher Tang, I admire you!"

Chen Jin helped him off the stage, and Liu Gang clapped his hands beside him.

"awesome!"

“Chen Jin also performed very well at the beginning, but the poem recitation by Teacher Tang at the end was so graphic!”

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Tang Guoqiang said with a smile, his face full of fatigue.

This is actually exactly the same as Chen Jin's condition after the recording of the Spring Festival Gala, both of them looked a little exhausted.

But the resulting effect is perfect.

This is an actor's pursuit of his own work, striving for perfection.

"At first I watched from the sidelines, and seeing it in person was completely different from what I saw on TV... The acting was spot on, especially the essence of that belief in youth!"

"Belief is important, you have to understand him..."

"We must fully understand the background of the creation of the poem, its historical significance, and the environment and state of mind at the time..."

Tang Guoqiang sat there to rest, lighting a cigarette and chatting with Chen Jin about the performance.

Chen Jin listened carefully.

In fact, Lao Tang’s reputation on the Internet was not very good in the past few years, mainly because Lanxiang’s advertisement was too popular; but in fact, his acting skills are worthy of recognition, especially his lines.

He started out as a young actor in "The Garland under the Mountain" and has worked his way up to become a veteran artist today.

Whether it's Zhao Mengsheng, Zhuge Liang, Yongzheng, or Li Shimin, he performed them all very well.

Many people say that young actors will become veteran actors when they get older; in fact, that was true in the past, it is basically impossible now.

“Now, we just have to wait for it to be broadcast!”

When Chen Jin walked out of the CCTV building, he was actually quite looking forward to what the final feature film would look like.

For example, this transition was just a performance at first, but after it was actually done in post-production, the feeling of gradually disappearing and appearing is even more brilliant.

There are also special effects, lighting and shadow, etc.

This program may really become a flagship variety show of CCTV, just like "China in Classics" in the future.

Drip!

Chen Jin opened his phone, glanced at the message from Zhu Yanmanzi, and couldn't help but smile.

Under the street light opposite the CCTV building, the familiar tall figure was extremely clear.

The light poured down, making her outline soft and artistic, and her long hair seemed to sway slightly with the light and shadow.

It's like a slow motion movie.

Zhu Yanmanzi was wearing a soft coat with her arms clasped across her chest, as if resisting the chill of the night, but her eyes were looking straight in the direction Chen Jin had walked out, full of anticipation.

Everything around her seemed to be still, only she and the street lamp became the most moving scenery in the night.

If it is midsummer, with a full moon in the sky, a white shadow spreading below and a faint light flowing above, and you walk towards me with a smile on your face, then between the moonlight and the night, you are the third kind of beauty!
