"It seems like we are going to play some Chinese horror."
Luo Shiyao's words immediately left several dancers speechless.
I really don’t know much about the definition of Chinese horror.
You want to talk about Chinese aesthetics and Chinese folk customs, I understand that.
But this is scary and somewhat unprofessional.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?"
"Let's go see him. I guess he has some ideas."
Luo Shiyao was too lazy to think about it.
Just meet and chat directly.
Immediately, everyone booked their tickets.
The next day, he rushed directly to Li Jinglin.
Li Jinglin has been too busy these two days.
After the security person in charge is assigned, the business person in charge arranges some main structures.
We can finally start researching the content of this celebration.
As for the content, it is definitely not something that one or two groups can handle.
Before these dancers arrived, Li Jinglin had already deceived many victims.
"Brother-in-law~"
"Hello, brother-in-law~"
Except for Luo Shiyao, the two male and four female dancers also called Li Jinglin brother-in-law.
At that moment, Luo Shiyao's face turned red.
But fortunately, I have some resistance now and won't turn into a steam girl.
"Brother-in-law, could you please elaborate on this Chinese horror?"
"Well, I don't understand it just by talking about it. I just need to take you to see the makeup artist."
Li Jinglin chuckled.
I hurriedly brought everyone to a clothing store.
After entering the clothing store.
Everyone raised their heads and looked left and right.
The more I looked at it, the less it seemed like a serious clothing store.
"This store used to sell shrouds, and later it also worked part-time as a costumer and props supplier for horror movies. However, horror movies were axed later, so there is no business in this area now, so we started a normal clothing business. .”
Li Jinglin smiled slightly.
"But I still have everything in my hometown."
Luo Shiyao's eyes twitched.
Good guy.
When they come up, they will take us to wear shrouds.
soon.
Li Jinglin and his party walked up to the second floor.
After greeting an elder sister, Li Jinglin introduced her.
"This is Sister An. She has always been a well-known makeup artist in the industry."
"Hello, Sister An."
Everyone said hello.
Luo Shiyao's eyelids twitched again.
Total feeling.
In this weird shop, the makeup artist probably doesn't do any serious makeup.
really.
Everyone heard Sister An say with a smile.
"Don't worry, everyone. It will definitely scare you. It will definitely look like a ghost."
"."
Luo Shiyao glanced at Li Jinglin stiffly, her eyes full of questioning.
"Ah, Sister An used to be a makeup artist for horror movies."
"call"
Luo Shiyao was relieved.
At least, someone who puts on makeup for horror movies.
That's better than being a makeup artist who works part-time as an embalmer.
"I'm going to talk about Chinese horror now!"
While several girls were experiencing makeup.
Li Jinglin clapped his hands and spoke.
"Western-style horror is something that you will see as evil at first glance, such as vampires, werewolves, etc. To put it simply, the source of fear is insufficient firepower."
"But Chinese horror is more weird than scary. The main focus is contrast."
"For example, for a festive bright red wedding dress, the bride only needs to be a little stiffer in her movements, her face is a little whiter, and there is a little blood in the corners of her eyes. Wearing pure black contact lenses will magnify the horror."
"Charms, grass-piercing people. It seems that powerful firepower will still feel powerless unless there is a complete nuclear explosion."
With careful explanation.
Everyone felt a little more understanding.
"Understood, that means we don't actually need to make scary moves. We just need to make some contrasting and weird feelings, which will easily make people feel chills on their backs?"
"Well, yes, and you don't need to have a strong sense of fear. You just need to show the weird atmosphere of Chinese horror. The celebration is mainly about atmosphere and entertainment."
Li Jinglin smiled and nodded.
It's not good that this kind of thing really scares children.
Therefore, the sense of terror needs to be carefully considered.
It's okay to be weird, but the main focus has to be festive with a bit of a spooky undertone.
Play is the key, a little bit of spookiness can effectively stimulate emotions and escalate the pleasure.
The main theme, of course, must be pleasure.
Everyone understood a little bit.
Suddenly, he became a little excited.
Please, stay in the dark and go out to the streets during the Qingming Festival.
Very cool!
"It's better to have another suona player."
One of the male dancers has already begun to have a daydream.
"I'll just be a zombie and take a trip in the coffin."
"good idea."
"Do you want Mo to be the coffin bearer?"
"It's impossible. It would be pure horror at night."
"Ha ha."
When you say something, I hit the mark.
One idea after another started to pop up.
Start to perfect the "Hundred Ghosts at Night" which belongs entirely to Chinese culture.
time flies.
The first thing to be held was the Sakura Festival next door.
There are really many people.
However, people who attended the Sakura Festival became curious when they passed by the street next door where things were being decorated.
After asking around a bit, I looked at the publicity nearby.
I heard there seems to be some kind of celebration on Qingming night.
Many people's eyes lit up.
"What are you playing at?"
"I'll go, there seems to be something new to be held."
"Qingming Festival night?"
"Eh? It looks interesting!"
Li Jinglin actually didn’t do much offline promotion.
The main focus is online and media.
Various reporters, various recording and shooting teams, and some online cooperation platform promotions were found in advance.
There is only one purpose.
The impact of the Cherry Blossom Festival next door will be completely crushed, and the celebration of the traditional festival will be completely rejuvenated!
In a blink of an eye, Qingming Festival is approaching.
On the Qingming Festival, two very eye-catching hot air balloons rose at the outermost entrance of the street, with small light bulbs shining brightly.
The lights on the entire street were changing slowly, very slowly.
Dark red, dark purple, to cold blue, and then gradually back to dark red.
At this time, the activities on the celebration street have not yet started.
But the place is already bustling with passers-by.
The vendors recruited on the roadside have a variety of folk crafts.
Carved flowers, sugar paintings, sugar figures, embroidery, small paper figures, small red lanterns, and all kinds of small objects.
You can also see various snacks at regular intervals.
Artemisia cakes, green dumplings, steamed buns, tea eggs, cakes, sandwich cakes, Qingming rice dumplings, Qingming rice dumplings, steamed rice dumplings, Qingming cakes, dry porridge, etc. are available all over the country, with different food cultures and customs as Qingming Festival snacks.
The most interesting thing are some drink shops.
I used a shallow and wide wine bowl that looked very Chinese-style. The sour plum soup next to it said "Mengpo soup is free, but one serving per person."
"Why are you still here?! You've already had a drink!"
The boss stared at a young man.
The young man scratched his head with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The passers-by around laughed and joined in the interaction one after another.
"I'll try to see if it's true."
".One more."
"I don't know!"
".I haven't asked yet."
"Hahaha!"
Although, the layout is a bit weird and the lighting looks really underworld.
But it has to be said.
Not scary at all.
There is also a little excitement.
This really made many passersby shine and found it very novel and interesting.
soon.
Security personnel came out and began to control, leaving part of the street open.
Avoid stepping on it.
Everyone suddenly realized that something new seemed to be coming.
The kind of gloomy music often played in horror movies came from the speakers.
Appiaos wearing red wedding clothes
Just under the agitation of the dry ice machine, his mother "wandered" over lightly.
"Wochao, is it really floating?"
A few brave young men looked over with wide eyes.
"Haha nest, good guy, dry ice disguises roller skates, right? I'm happy."
Although the low-level fog effect is very similar to dry ice, it is not good to throw dry ice in dense crowds, even in open places.
In fact, what is really installed is a more expensive water mist machine.
The main thing is to be someone who doesn’t hold back.
Ah Piao in red clothes passed by slowly.
What follows is a group of demons dancing wildly and a hundred ghosts walking at night.
From zombies to ghosts, from red clothes to white clothes.
Water ghosts, yakshas, and shaggy-headed ghosts wearing fangs and leather sheaths.
They are all invited cosplayers who are good at local cultural role-playing.
Interact with the onlookers.
It immediately aroused bursts of curious exclamations.
"This leather case from WoChao is of really good quality."
"What is this thing?"
"What is this thing?!"
Many people were amazed after the appearance of some weird folkloric shapes that they had never seen before.
Although it is a joke.
But traditional cultural elements are still indispensable.
Maybe it was because the preparation time was too short and too hasty.
It can't be so sophisticated and rigorous.
But it is still eye-catching, and there is a feeling of "participating in my own cultural comic exhibition".
soon.
Several Apiao in red clothes held up the roof of the shed and walked slowly with the bride covered in red face.
It is obviously a festive red wedding dress, but there are white flowers on the chest.
There are also charms attached to the veil.
As the lotus steps moved slightly, his hands were intertwined dignifiedly on his lower abdomen, but the pale hands and long nails gave people a strange feeling.
Then, there were several accompanying musicians behind them.
Wearing make-up with blood, tears, or dark circles under the eyes.
Suona in hand.
This shakuhachi trumpet directly played the Northeastern folk funeral song "The Great Funeral".
do not know why.
This weird picture, this sad music.
But it gives people an indescribable sense of joy.
"Holy shit, hahahaha, I know how to play!"
"So sad, but I laughed."
The crowd suddenly burst out laughing, immediately causing the entire group to react.
I didn’t cry, but I laughed a few tears.
Wait until the music stops.
Suddenly a ghost shouted with a loudspeaker.
"We worship our ancestors during the Qingming Festival and sweep their tombs to express our thoughts."
"We've been waiting down there all day, and we couldn't wait any longer! So we came in person!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The surrounding audience suddenly laughed.
But immediately, I felt a bit inexplicably bitter.
I am too busy with work and there are no outstanding festivals and cultural celebrations.
Naturally, we will lose our expectations and attention for traditional festivals.
However, the strange celebration this time was quite interesting.
Come and take a look now.
It just feels a little numb.
After all, the Qingming Festival in the past was too serious.
But today, such a wave of operations suddenly happened, which made my scalp feel numb.
"Yu Xiu is closely matched, and his work is carried out to the sect."
"The auspicious talisman is the tripod, and the yellow cong is prepared as a gift."
suddenly.
From the loudspeaker, an ancestor worship text that everyone could not understand came from the loudspeaker.
However, although I don’t quite understand it.
But I can totally feel the charm of it.
“Blessings are made with faith, and virtue is wise.
Jiezi Jingfu will last forever. "
The kid with the big horn in his hand shouted loudly.
"Let me tell you, if you don't worship your ancestors, I will come to you personally next time!"
"Hahaha!"
There was laughter from the crowd.
Wait until the laughter subsides.
The voice on the speaker seemed a little more serious.
"But everyone is indeed very busy at work and lacks entertainment. We understand!"
"But at least I can say something in my mind, right?"
"So, cyber ancestor worship has to be popular this year. Come on, let me say something, and everyone will follow suit, okay!"
"Okay, okay, hahaha!"
The passers-by were very happy.
After such a round of play, there was a lot of food and drink, and it was indeed very relaxing.
It’s not impossible to do something serious with you to cheer you up.
At that moment, waves of sound began to spread from the crowd, spreading further and further.
"The merits of our ancestors will be remembered forever!"
"Deze has no boundaries, and all generations will prosper with the help of talented people!"
After shouting.
A light suddenly shone on the elevated road on the other side of the street.
It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
More and more people are looking over it.
It seems like it's a folk band?
Wearing weird makeup but wearing sunglasses, he looks very happy.
Passers-by's eyes lit up.
Hidden program? !
Before the passers-by could react.
Then I heard a shout coming from the speakers placed in every corner of the street.
"Qingming Festival!"
""Monkey Play"!"
"Pick up guests!"
After a few incomprehensible murmurs.
The rhythm and music of the explosion began to sound.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became inexplicably exciting.
Until the suona sounded.
Passersby felt like they were getting high.
Led by someone who was a regular at the music festival, I don’t know who started to follow the rhythm and shouted one after another.
"oh!"
"oh!"
The parade continued until the music ended.
The audience's interest was very high.
However, after the previous "Hundred Ghosts Night Journey", there seemed to be new arrangements.
The street lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the street like daylight.
Another group of street performers walked in.
Passers-by were immediately delighted.
However, it is not the same as the gloomy one just now.
This time the team is dignified, grand and luxurious!
There are men and women, all dressed in Hanfu!
These traditional gorgeous costumes began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, passed through the Tang and Song Dynasties, and ended in the late Ming Dynasty.
"this?!"
Passers-by stared.
Unexpectedly, the real drama has just begun.
The "Hua Zhang" in [Liyue Hua Zhang] is fully displayed!
China.
Because of the great etiquette, it is called Xia, and because of the beauty of clothes, it is called Hua.
"Let me go, is this the emperor in the cosplay of all dynasties? The one with a dragon robe?!"
"What do you know? Whose ancestors haven't been rich yet?!"
"That's right! That's what we call the ancestors of China."
