The difference between the Peking Opera version and the movie version of Weihushan.

Film is the art of light and shadow, and it is the performance of the lens. To put it bluntly, the director expresses his ideas through the lens, which is the same as what we usually express in words, but the media is different. The stage version is only an objective record, and there are few lenses to express it. It's just a three-camera switch to record the whole performance.

The movies we see are not comparable to the stage on TV, but they can be said to be comparable. How to understand this statement?

Let's start with comparability. First of all, we must understand that the performing arts are real-time performing arts, and this charm can only be felt on the spot. Film and television are just a means of recording, and what is recorded can only be called "industrial products", so it is comparable, just for this reason. Of course, movies are far better than TV, because movies are a controllable behavior. For example, how an actor walks, how he stands, and how an action is not in place can be retaken. They all have to listen to the director and obey the beauty of the camera and the picture. However, when performing on stage, TV recording is naturally uncontrollable and can only be recorded in a very fixed position, and the actors are out of the picture. You can't stop and start over.

There is no comparability, because the lens is also linguistic, and what the photographer wants to express can be expressed through different lens and seat settings, so he can shoot more powerful images and even enhance the performance. So movies use a lot of lens language to express, while TV can only be used to zoom in and out.

Many people haven't listened to the live stage version of the movie performed by the actors. It's really interesting to compare their own film version with the stage version. You will find that Yang Zirong can never sing the spirit of "crossing the beautiful forest, crossing the snowfield and heading for the sky" in the film, because this aria was dyed and echoed in the later period. If you know the recording technology, you will understand that what I said is true.

In the movie, the positive characters are all shot at elevation, so that the characters can fly high. There is a classic stills of Qiu and Bai Shan, which was shot at an elevation angle. It seems that these statues are very tall and imposing. The reason is that when we were young, we always looked up at adults and always thought adults were tall.

Mr. Wang Mengyun has it in movies and on stage. You can find from her performance that the rhythm, action range, expression and singing of the stage version are greatly exaggerated. This is the theater performance, which is a necessary means for the distant audience to see. Mr. Ji Zhenhua, a famous Kunqu artist, always goes to the last row of the theater before each performance, that is, to inspect the distance and consider how much range to use in the performance. Therefore, the stage performance on TV is slightly exaggerated, and it is just right for the audience to sit in the theater and watch the play. Mr. Shang's performance is an enhanced version of Mr. Shang

Take a closer look at Teacher Shi's delicate performance. On Mr. Shang's stage edition, everyone explained clearly, and some of them were better paid. For example, when I opened the curtain and saw the comrades of the People's Liberation Army treating the old mother, I quickly got out and stood up. The change of rhythm brought inner surprises. For example, when I saw the chief of staff, I was embarrassed and shy, and I didn't know how to put my hands and feet.

The truth of the stage, first of all, is to know what the real performance is like on the stage, so we should read all the records of the performance in that year, both paper and audio materials, or ask people who have seen it in that year. These materials are not hard to find, so I won't provide them. Comparing the film version with the stage version means that the original class is performing, and the effects are different, such as rhythm, explosive force during performance and artistic interpretation. You will ask yourself differently, is it a group of people performing?

There is a genre in the film called "documentary", and documentary is the closest to the original. From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the end of the Cultural Revolution, this kind of film was labeled as a stage art film, and only this kind of film was closest to the stage performance. You can see that this documentary is completely different from other films. Nowadays, the empty drama is the most elementary documentary, while the film version of the documentary is an upgraded version. Back to the movie "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward", we can see that the use of lenses is very rich. When the positive characters in the play pause, they will use a low overhead lens to show their heroic spirit and tall image. On the contrary, the characters use the overhead lens more, showing the smallness of the characters. Let me make an analogy. If you have a girlfriend or wife, they are not that tall. When taking pictures of them, you can lower the camera to her thigh position and shoot directly. You will find that your girlfriend will soon be tall and her legs will become slender, which brings a new perspective experience to the distorted image. Show this picture to a person who has never seen a real person, and he will think that your girlfriend is a very slender and tall beauty.

The movie Wild Pig Forest is completely different from the stage performance at that time, but now the stage performance is basically performed according to the film version. If someone really performed on stage, it is estimated that they would be coaxed out of the stage and would not be recognized.

In addition to exaggeration

The best position of the theater is not in the front row, but in the middle of the front row, about 10 meters away from the stage. The theater stereo is also the best in this place, so the ticket price in this place is the most expensive, and the leaders and VIPs are sitting in this position.

It is not so much exaggeration as amplification. There is no essential difference in enlargement, just as there is no essential difference between lowercase Yang Hao and medium-sized Yang Hao, but it is only one size bigger. Compared with the above video, Mr. Shang only enlarged the film version when he performed on the stage version. Let's look at the performance of Mr. He Yonghua, who plays a mountain sculpture, and his personal disciple Zhang Dafa. Mr. Dafa Zhang just enlarged it on the basis of the teacher, not an exaggerated performance. A truly outstanding performing artist will change his performance scale according to the different venues. He should explain everything and have all the characters. And that kind of exaggeration and deformation are two concepts, because this kind of performance has been divorced from the essence. For example, Mr Meng Guanglu's performance is exaggerated, but it has no content. Another example is Anping's performance, and there is no such shame.

When mobilizing the masses, the stage version begins with a wide-angle head to shoot the whole stage, and it can be seen that there are not many people. In fact, the audience also looks at the stage from the position, and the scale of the performance is too small to see anything. It goes without saying that the details of the film version are very good. In the stage version, when Wang Mengyun sang "Don't shout disgusting food", the right lens directly cut the whole body, and then it became a bust in the left lens, while in the film version, one lens was moved to three-quarters of the portrait in one go from the beginning. For example, when the chief of staff sang Chairman Mao, Li Yongqi admired him infinitely. In the stage version, the camera gave a close-up of a bust, but unfortunately the exposure was not accurate. After imaging, the face becomes dead white, which is the most taboo in photography, which seriously affects the audience and characters before the video, but it has nothing to do with the actor's performance. The problem lies with the photographer, which is a technical problem.

Film is film, TV is cassette, and there are two levels of imaging in total. Now everyone is talking about high-definition movies, in fact, this is fooling the public. The playback of high-definition movies can only reach 2K, while the playback of film can reach 4 K. Its picture quality, color and width are really not comparable to that of high-definition. IMAX movies are also made of film. Shooting on 72mm film, the playback can reach 1 1K, which is of course very shocking. At that time, the TV was only 0.5K, and now the TV is 0.8K K, nothing can compare with what the human eye really sees. Just like eating fruit. Everyone knows that the ones picked from trees taste freshest and best, followed by those bought in the market. So it's the same to watch a performance, of course, in the theater. This is fresh fruit, and movies and TV are just canned.

Model opera, according to the present statement, is called proposition composition. The director only expressed Jiang's thoughts by making movies. In other words, the real director is Jiang. Gao Daquan appeared on the stage and Gao Daquan also appeared in the film. Although the meaning is the same, the lens and the human eye feel different. For example, as long as the characters are pulled out and their heads are held high, the stage performance will be high in the eyes of the human eye, whether from above or from the side. But in the lens, most of the characters in Gao Daquan can only shoot at low altitude, so that the picture composition can express the meaning of being tall. The film is made up of pictures, so she follows the rules of picture composition, while the human eye only follows the feelings of the performers in time and space.

Movies can enhance artistic expression through editing, picture composition and different perspectives, which is another perspective to experience. It is completely different from the viewing experience when performing on the stage.

Film is an artistic process, which is different from reality. For example, the above example took a photo of his girlfriend. Although my girlfriend doesn't have the figure of a model, how to shoot a tall and slender figure is of course considered from the selected angle, which is re-creation. The film comes from the stage, but the film is based on the artistic reprocessing of the stage.
