Behind the scenes of Liu Chi Alley

The director of the Huangmei opera film "Liu Chi Alley" explained that after reading the last draft of the literary script "Liu Chi Alley", he felt that it was a mature opera film script. The script of "Six Feet Alley" is based on the stage play of the same name. After many revisions, it has met the shooting requirements, laying a good foundation for us to use montage techniques to narrate the story. Through the second creation, it will surely become an opera movie that the audience will like to watch. . The director team tried to position the creative direction of the Huangmei opera film "Six Feet Alley" from the following aspects. 1. The overall concept of the whole film. The story of "Six Feet Alley" takes place in the Qing Dynasty (Kangxi period). Tolerance, humility, and equality as a virtue have been advocated in ancient times.

People who are broad-minded, look far ahead, and are courteous and courteous are respected no matter what age they are. Especially today, when material desires, money, and power are at the forefront, it seems more necessary to promote this virtue. That’s the whole point of making this show. The main theme of this play is: the word "harmony". There are two singing and dancing sections with the word "harmony" in the plot, which are a concrete demonstration of the theme of "harmony" in the film. The drama style of "Six Feet Alley" is light comedy. Since it is a light comedy, special attention should be paid to the "rhythm" of the drama. Currently, the better types of opera, film and television dramas filmed across the country include Yue Opera, Sichuan Opera, Peking Opera and other operas. The main reason for this is that the film can adapt to the audience's aesthetic needs and taste when narrating the storyline. Pay special attention to mediating the "rhythm" of the plot. The music, language, and form are adapted to the modern audience, eliminating falsehood, and emphasizing freehand brushwork on the basis of truth. To coordinate realism and freehand brushwork, narrative and lyricism, and truly combine reality and reality, we must not only move closer to the reality of life, but also maintain the unique artistic conception of opera. Use a lot of shots to portray the characters in depth. When shooting the arias, multiple screens, multiple lenses, and multiple angles are used to truly achieve the perfect combination of sound and image, allowing the audience to appreciate the charm of opera movies at close range. The scenes are mainly real scenes. On the basis of the real scenes, the freehand parts are highlighted, and as much as possible, "the real scenes are beautified and the scenic spots are built to have the texture of real scenes." It would be better if we could create a few moments of surreal beauty in this film. The art should focus on the "central aria" to give full play to the potential of the art director to create the best atmosphere for the theme, the plot, and the characters. Music design is the key to the success of the entire opera TV series. While maintaining the original flavor of Huangmei Opera, it is necessary to Incorporate some modern music elements for further processing. We have done this well in the past, and it is also one of the successful experiences of Huangmei film and television dramas. Pay attention to the internal rhythm changes of each aria. According to the plot, it should be extremely fast when it should be fast, and slow down when it should be slow, but not too slow, so as to meet the appreciation needs of modern audiences.

The arias in "Six Feet Alley" are the soul of opera movies. It is the most important link in a drama film. It is necessary to reserve the best location and the best shooting time for these arias, and the best shooting techniques should also be reserved for the arias. When shooting exterior scenes, morning and evening light effects are mostly used. When shooting arias in interior scenes, the lighting engineer does not need to consider the light source but pays attention to the beauty of the characters and the artistic conception of the picture. 2. The style should focus on the inner world of the characters, allowing emotions to flow with thinking, seeking movement in silence, and the plot development to peel off the bamboo shoots layer by layer and gradually reach a better state. In particular, the role of opera and dance must be brought into play and set up at every stage of the plot. 3. There are two color tones to choose from: use warm tones like oil paintings to create an atmosphere of a story that took place in the Qing Dynasty to prevent floating; at the same time, it is expected that the entire film’s exterior scenes will have the elegance of Chinese ink paintings to more accurately convey the Huizhou regional cultural atmosphere. I hope that the art, photography, lighting, makeup, costume and other styling departments will accurately grasp the situation during creation. 4. On the performance stage, the stylized performance of actors is the peak of opera art. Because there is a certain distance between the audience and the stage, actors have to rely on moderate exaggeration to express the characters. The lens of the movie brings the audience and the actors closer. Such exaggerated performances not only fail to create a good character image, but also destroy the character creation. There is a certain distance from the aesthetic requirements of modern people and cannot be accepted by contemporary young people. Opera Actors must be familiar with film shooting methods, adapt to performing in front of the camera, and demonstrate the charm of opera performance while expressing true emotions. The character creation in this film should focus on the heart, change, and wholeness, and should not capture people with their appearance but with their emotions. Don't simply express ugliness and beauty, kindness and ignorance, happiness and joy, perform as realistically as possible in a real environment. In the display of life-like scenes and plots, moderate exaggeration is not excluded, and the audience's sense of "drama" is not avoided when watching the movie. Under the guidance of the music melody that is very characteristic of Huangmei, the dialogue is in Mandarin with Anqing accent, reaching a critical state that is both playful and understandable.

When performing opera dance in the play, the beauty of the opera body must be shown. 5. The combination of other operas and films is not a simple film record, but a synthesis of opera elements and film elements, creating a new artistic variety. Some people call this variety: "national opera" in movies. We think that if the Huangmei opera movie "Six Feet Alley" is still shot using our accumulated experience, it will definitely look good and listen well, thus reaching a wonderful and ideal state. Make Huangmei Opera bloom beautifully among the flowers of opera.

We are happy to cooperate with our old friends, thank you all!
