Chapter 184 Fire

Ten minutes before the official start, the venue for this fashion show, where admission is strictly controlled, is already packed.

Most of the audience have already entered the venue one after another, waiting in whispers to appreciate the most avant-garde fashion designs in the West.

Almost all the models and actors secretly saw the grand event off the stage from behind the main stage backdrop.

At the forefront on both sides of the overpass, everyone saw the serious-looking leaders wearing familiar cadre uniforms.

Many glass lenses reflect shining reflections.

The ladies all had short hair, some were wearing hats, and they were all sitting upright and serious in speech.

Only those who came with young people could talk and laugh more relaxedly, and some positions were reserved exclusively for reporters.

Many foreign reporters also came.

The Western press corps, composed of white and black people, carried a large amount of modern interview equipment.

The Japanese and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao also brought cameras, totaling at least fifty or sixty people.

These people will announce this festival-like fashion show to the whole world and show the latest changes in the Republic to the whole world.

Scenes like this are undoubtedly exciting.

Almost all the performers backstage were talking about it and were inexplicably excited.

Because only such a scene is worthy of the sweat and hard work they have put in, and it is in line with their long-awaited imagination.

Time passed by unknowingly, and in less than ten minutes, the whole place became solemn as the lights dimmed and the spotlight shone on the stage.

All the chaotic sounds disappeared and the performance started on time!

In the first session, of course, Pierre Carton and Song Huagui appeared hand in hand and walked to the center of the stage to deliver the opening remarks.

"Everyone, I am very honored to meet you today in the most luxurious banquet hall in Beijing. At this moment, the sky bridge here not only represents fashion culture, but also has become a bridge for cultural exchanges between the East and the West."

"Frankly speaking, why did I insist on flying here from Paris like a bird despite the opposition of all my colleagues? It is that deep in my heart there is always a firm belief that this mysterious ancient Eastern country will always be full of hope.

.Because the people here are hard-working and brave, the products are rich, and because there is a long-standing civilization here as an inexhaustible source of inspiration."

"I think that in this land full of miracles, as long as we want to work hard, are willing to work hard, and are full of dreams, we can overcome any difficulties and we will definitely achieve success!"

"I hope that through this fashion conference, through our cooperation and efforts, we can introduce PC's latest fashion design and the most luxurious fabrics from the ancient oriental countries to the world. This is not only my personal honor and expectation, but also everyone here.

A common desire.”

"Here's wishing us success!"

There is no doubt that Pierre Cardin's speech is extremely appropriate.

Although it is short and concise, it is full of earnest hope and enthusiasm, as well as a sincere spirit of cooperation.

In fact, there is nothing that can impress our simple and kind-hearted people more than true friendship.

Goodwill and sincerity are even more important than real money.

So when Song Huagui meticulously recounted the excitement of the French design master, he immediately received warm applause from the guests present.

The press box was clearly affected by the mood of the audience.

It was no longer just a few sporadic flashes of light, but a flash of bright light that could blind the eyes of people on the stage.

It's just that such an overwhelming grand opening atmosphere will inevitably have some side effects.

It brings greater pressure to the models who are paying attention to the movements at the front desk and waiting to appear.

At this time, the relaxed atmosphere backstage was no longer the same.

Everyone seemed to be frightened by the bright light or the applause, and became quiet.

All members of the model team, old and new, looked nervous and felt the pressure doubled.

Even Ning Weimin, who boasted that he had seen strong winds and waves and thought he would never be nervous, felt a little suffocated.

He looked at the dark audience from the gap in the backdrop and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

To be honest, at this time, he was a little envious of Zhang Shihui, who was sitting quietly in the audience, watching the fun with Liu Weijing and Mi Xiaoran.

I also admire Song Huagui’s calm and calm psychological quality very much.

Because only by actually being there can you know what a battle of more than 2,000 people is like.

He felt that he had underestimated Song Huagui in the past.

I just feel that this eldest sister is extremely lucky and chose to follow the right person at the right time.

But that's not actually the case.

Don't look at him driving a time-travel plug-in, but if he were to change his position and let him do Song Huagui's work, I'm afraid there would be no chance.

If nothing else, if he were to be on stage, his voice would definitely be trembling, and he would never be as calm and composed as Song Huagui.

It can be seen that those who can become legends are definitely ordinary people, and it cannot be defined by "good luck".

But when it comes to good luck, it does exist right now.

That’s what’s coming next. The models haven’t had their turn yet, so they can have a buffer.

Soon, as the lights suddenly dimmed, Pierre Carton and Song Huagui quietly left the stage.

And when the lights came back on, the musicians of the Peking Opera Troupe "opened up" the stage.

With the accompaniment of the gongs and drums of "Ji Ji Feng", the five-color spirit officials appeared on stage!

Under the bright torch lights, the five people are dressed in red, white, blue, yellow and black, each with a different face and wearing the same costume.

Wearing a beard, a soft pillow, no flag, and holding a spiritual official whip.

Headed by the red "Wang Lingguan", the four white, blue, yellow and black Lingguan on both sides danced the "Four Doors Fight".

This is indeed a scene that no one could have imagined, and it immediately received a lot of applause!

People who don’t understand see it as lively, people who know how to do it see it as auspicious, and even foreigners who don’t understand can see something fresh and interesting.

And when the trend dance turned nine times, followed by some jumps, the auspicious dance of farewell.

The five spirit officials walked together to the Great Circus, stood in a row, and entered the midfield.

At this time, the second excitement came.

Under the gaze of everyone, five spiritual officials were seen raising their spiritual whips and reciting the "Jingtai Mantra" together.

"Li Lalian. Li Lalian. Li Lalian. La Li Lalian. Li zipper. Li Lalian..."

Well, we speak with the same voice, just like singing, the rhythm is high-spirited and shocking.

Whether it's good or not, the key is that the five big painted faces are powerful!

Then, there was a sudden silence, and then there was another wave of flash lights and waves of applause.

At this time, inspection personnel are already ready.

Someone quietly placed a "treasure bowl" in the center of the catwalk.

Another inspection officer immediately handed the old Lingguan a "fire color" from the audience.

The so-called fire color is a general term for various special effects of flames and smoke on the stage of Chinese opera.

"Swallowing swords and spitting fire" began in hundreds of operas in the Han Dynasty and was widely used in Nuo rituals and Mulian opera in the Song Dynasty.

In Ming Dynasty opera performances, fire was used to exaggerate ghosts and gods, and extended to war scenes.

For example, in "The Thatched Cottage", fireworks are released as soon as the fire burns down Red Cliff.

Another example is the string of bells and fire under the four hooves of the thousand-mile horse in "The Flaming Horse".

In short, there are many styles of fire colors.

For example, those that circle in a large circle are called moon gates, those that are connected continuously are called volleys of firecrackers, those that fly out into the air are called lintels, those that fly into the basin at the mouth of the platform to ignite the wine in the basin are called fishing, etc.

They are all extremely expressive styling techniques.

There is of course no doubt about the safety.

Because the raw material of fire color is ground rosin into fine powder, then sifted with a horsetail basket, and then mixed with the finely sifted incense noodles burned in the temple.

Although it is an open flame, it has a low temperature, burns quickly, does not smoke, and burns cleanly, leaving almost no embers.

It is a pity that this kind of national quintessence has been gradually lost in many dramas with the decline of opera art and the one-sided emphasis on the requirement of hidden inspection venues.

That is to say, in this era, the old Peking Opera troupe still has masters who are good at this technique.

Only then can this fashion show have a unique "intangible cultural heritage" feature, which will really gain face for our people in front of many foreign media.
