Chapter 276 Participate in Rehearsal
After Jiang Weimin successfully reached a cooperation intention with Zhang Yimou, Wu Ziniu and Huang Jianxin and conducted in-depth preliminary communication,
Chen Kaige keenly noticed that the status of these three good friends who used to discuss film art together on campus had changed significantly.
Their steps became more hurried, their eyes showed more focus and excitement, and they exuded a busy and fulfilling atmosphere.
It was a sunny day, and the tree-lined avenues on campus were filled with mottled light and shadows.
Chen Kaige finished the work at hand and was about to go back to the dormitory to rest when he saw Zhang Yimou, Wu Ziniu and Huang Jianxin walking together from the direction of the school gate from afar.
They were talking animatedly as they walked, holding some papers in their hands, and seemed to be discussing something important.
Chen Kaige was full of curiosity and quickly quickened his pace to meet him.
"Yimou, Ziniu, Jianxin, where have you been?" Chen Kaige asked with a smile, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the three people one by one.
"Why do I feel like you three have been so busy these days?"
Zhang Yimou raised his lips and smiled: "President Jiang asked us to go there in advance to rehearse and select the camera positions."
"Rehearsal?" Chen Kaige frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Rehearsal of a play?"
In his opinion, the most common rehearsal activity in school is drama performance.
Wu Ziniu shook his head, his face flushed with excitement: "No, Qingdao Publishing House has organized a clothing display team, and they will be displaying in Guangzhou. The display process will be recorded at that time."
"Fashion show team?" Chen Kaige repeated, with a look of confusion on his face.
At this time, Huang Jianxin took over the conversation, unable to hide his excitement: "Kaige, this fashion show team really opened my eyes!
The workers in Qingdao Garment Factory are beautiful and their clothes are exquisite.
Especially when she walks on the stage, her posture and charm are so beautiful!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, trying to describe to Chen Kaige the wonderful scenes he saw.
“A bunch of staff showing clothes on stage?
In his opinion, such a scene seemed too ordinary and difficult to associate with the "eye-opening" scene described by his friends.
"You can say that!" Zhang Yimou smiled, then his expression turned serious.
"But in the words of President Jiang, this is called art. President Jiang has a unique perspective. He believes that fashion shows are not just simple commercial activities.
It is also an artistic expression form that displays design concepts, cultural connotations and fashion charm through the perfect combination of human body and clothing.
From the arrangement of lighting, the selection of music, to the management of the model's position and expression,
Every detail has been carefully designed to bring the audience a feast for both the eyes and the soul.”
Chen Kaige listened quietly, and the confusion on his face was gradually replaced by curiosity.
He never thought that a fashion show could be given such profound meaning.
"You've made me curious," Chen Kaige said with a gleam in his eyes, "Can I go with you guys to visit it tomorrow?"
Zhang Yimou and the other two looked at each other, looking embarrassed.
After a while, Zhang Yimou said, "I'll ask President Jiang about this tomorrow!
After all, you are not from our company, so some work arrangements and confidential matters must be approved by President Jiang."
Chen Kaige nodded to show his understanding: "Okay, then please ask for me. I really want to see this unique art form."
"Sure!" Zhang Yimou readily agreed to help Chen Kaige ask if they could visit the fashion show rehearsal together.
Chen Kaige then asked enthusiastically: "By the way, didn't President Jiang want you to make a movie? Did he give you the script?"
Wu Ziniu shook his head and replied, "Not yet. President Jiang said we have to wait until the Canton Fair is over.
He wanted to focus his energy on the clothing display team's exhibition activities in Guangzhou first. After all, this is also an important task for Qingdao Publishing House at present.
After I finish this busy period, I will devote myself to the preparation of the film project, and by then I will definitely have a script."
Chen Kaige nodded slightly, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and said: "Congratulations!
Being able to become a director and start making movies right after graduation is an opportunity that many people dream of. You are so lucky.”
Zhang Yimou listened, waved his hand gently, and said with emotion: "I can't compare with you, Kaige. We follow President Jiang, we can only shoot whatever he tells us to shoot.
Although this is a rare practical opportunity, there are still some limitations.
But you are different, you can capture your innermost thoughts without reservation through the camera, this is what we really envy. "
Huang Jianxin also echoed: "Yes! I really envy you for having a father who is a director. On your creative path,
He will definitely be able to provide you with a lot of valuable experience and resources, allowing you to pursue your film dreams more freely."
Chen Kaige listened, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He patted his two friends on the shoulders and said, "Let's not talk about this!
I'll treat you to a meal! It's also a way to celebrate your upcoming directorial career."
“No need,” Zhang Yimou quickly refused, “We just came back after eating at the rehearsal place.
The work schedule there is very tight, everyone is very motivated, and meals are provided, so we need to come back quickly to rest and prepare for tomorrow's rehearsal."
"Okay then!" Chen Kaige nodded helplessly, "You guys should go back and rest!
I see you guys have been so busy these past few days, you've all lost a lot of weight. I'll treat you guys to a good meal some other day when you're free."
After bidding farewell to his three good friends, Chen Kaige felt mixed emotions. He was happy for their good opportunities, but also a little confused about his own future.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yimou found Jiang Weimin and asked him carefully:
"President Jiang, I have a classmate named Chen Kaige, he is particularly interested in our fashion display team and wants to come and visit.
Do you think it's possible? If it's not convenient, forget it. I can also explain it to him."
After hearing this, Jiang Weimin pondered for a moment.
He thought that although the number of directors required for Qingdao Publishing House's film and television projects was limited at this stage, and it had only reached a preliminary agreement with Zhang Yimou, Wu Ziniu, and Huang Jianxin, it really did not require so many directors.
But it’s not a bad thing to get to know more outstanding talents in film schools.
If we establish this good relationship now, it may come in handy in other projects in the future.
Moreover, allowing more people to understand Qingdao Publishing House's innovative attempts in the field of culture and art will also help enhance the publishing house's visibility and influence.
Jiang Weimin raised his head, smiled and said to Zhang Yimou: "Sure, not only Chen Kaige can come, you can also bring all your classmates to visit.
We are all young people who love art. If we communicate with each other, we might be able to create some new ideas.”
Zhang Yimou was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "Thank you so much, President Jiang! My classmates will definitely be very happy to hear this news."
In the following days, Zhang Yimou brought his classmates to the rehearsal venue of the fashion show team with great enthusiasm.
As soon as they entered the venue, the students were shocked by the scene before them.
On the stage, fashion showrunners dressed in exquisite costumes are undergoing intensive rehearsals. They have graceful postures and light steps, and each costume seems to be a fine work of art.
From gorgeous Chinese dresses to fashionable and exquisite suits, each piece of clothing combines unique design concepts and exquisite craftsmanship.
The students watched intently, exclaiming in amazement from time to time. They not only saw the outer beauty of the clothes, but also felt the cultural connotation and artistic charm behind them.
During the rehearsal breaks, Jiang Weimin also personally explained to the students the preparation process, design concepts and future development plans of the fashion display team.
The students listened with great interest and raised their own questions and opinions. Jiang Weimin answered them patiently and had in-depth exchanges with the students.
This visit allowed the students to experience a new kind of art and also gave them a deeper understanding of Qingdao Publishing House.
