"One day the haze will dissipate, one day we will see the light..." Accompanied by affectionate recitations, small seagulls that fight the wind and waves fly up. Recently, the Shanghai Puppet Theatre Troupe gathered the strength of young actors and launched the public welfare short film "Believe", which pays tribute to every anti-epidemic hero in the form of a poetry recitation, combined with puppet elements, and in the form of a small theater of light and shadow, and thanks to the defenders of "Shanghai" and the help of "Shanghai" who are silently fighting on every front.
It is reported that this short film comes from the anti-epidemic poetry collection initiated by the Communist Youth League branch of the troupe. The actors have overcome various difficulties in shooting at home and actively conceived the presentation of their works. In less than two weeks, the members of the first team took advantage of the gap in the rehearsal of the new repertoire cloud to record the original material and carry out post-production.
Actor Wang Zhenchao has nearly 20 years of "even age", this time he took the initiative to ask Miao to make the animation effect of the first 30 seconds of the opening of the film. Unlike previous rehearsals, he and the other actors had to perform and videotape themselves. For an ideal shot, he often has to be busy for a day. After many adjustments, the picture and action effects have become more and more exquisite and ideal.
Actor Liao Ziyan volunteered in the youth apartment to fill the shortage of manpower. Although a day of volunteer work sometimes makes her feel very tired, thinking of the retrograde back of the medical staff on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, she put her hard work behind, set up her mobile phone, fixed the light source, and devoted herself to her work. Although he had to take care of the young children in the family, Captain Cheng Qi still undertook the post-editing and synchronization work... In this way, a piece of cardboard was given life, and the poems changed from line to line to frame full of pictures, conveying the confidence of fighting the epidemic.
Since March 28, the Shanghai Puppet Theatre Company has launched the "Art Up" cloud exhibition, and the troupe's representative works "The Last War Elephant", "Sun Wukong Three Dozen White Bone Essence", "Nine Colored Deer" and so on have been launched one after another, bringing laughter and joy to children and big friends. This week, the creative puppet art "Harvest", "Happy Planet", the puppet drama "Who is Inside the Egg", the shadow puppet play "Mulan", etc. will also meet the audience in the clouds.
