【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Episode 385 Composing music for performance costumes is refreshing

Just when she thought of Qiaojie, Lin Pin'er saw Qiaojie near dinner time.

In the afternoon, Li Shuirong asked Shifan to pick up Jia Lan to discuss the cooperation with the TV station. Jia Lan also wanted to design the stage background for Lin Pin'er, and he also brought Qiaojie with him.

As soon as Lin Pin'er saw Qiaojie, she gave her a big hug.

"She seems to have grown a lot taller!" I haven't seen her for almost two years.

After calling "Auntie", Qiaojie just smiled shyly, holding a doll box in her hand.

"Is this a gift for me?" Lin Pin'er asked with a smile while looking at the box.

"I guess so, but today I'm just showing it to my aunt." Qiaojie seemed more familiar after being asked about the gift.

"What is so mysterious? And we can only look at it?"

Jia Lan interrupted, "Because it's still in the debugging stage, we can only show it to my aunt first. We still have to make some changes when we go back."

Lin Pin'er became even more curious and took the two little ones to her rehearsal room. Shi Fan saw that they had been sent there and turned to do other things.

The rehearsal room of Lin Pin'er's band was extremely quiet today. There was no one there, and because the new song had not been finished yet, everyone was visiting each other in other rehearsal rooms.

Sitting down on the sofa, Qiaojie carefully took out the doll from the box. The doll's eyes and eyebrows were very similar to Lin Pin'er. It was wearing a hollow, translucent puffy skirt. There was no decoration on the skirt, only horizontal and vertical white ribbons dividing the longitude and latitude of the skirt.

Qiaojie fixed the doll to the base in the box, and then pressed the switch behind the doll. The doll's skirt suddenly lit up, as if it was wearing a lighted wedding dress.

"Wow, it looks so beautiful!" Although they said this was only a semi-finished product, Lin Pin'er already thought it was very beautiful.

"This was the inspiration I got when I helped my younger brother and sister install the small lights on the tent last time. It just so happened that she could make skirts, so I put my ideas on the skirt. I thought that in the future, if my aunt wore such a skirt and stood on the stage, with the background lighting designed to look like the universe and stars, and then suddenly pressed the switch on the skirt, it would definitely have a great stage effect." Jia Lan even helped her think about the stage effects. Lin Pin'er had to admire his imagination and creativity.

"Then I have to write a song for your dress." Jia Lan mentioned the universe and the stars, which gave Lin Pin'er a sudden inspiration. She remembered what Mrs. Li said to her when she was young and ignorant in the garden of the Li family's old house that year: Go and see the wider world. Put music into space! Let the stars hear your music too!

Just as he was lost in thought, Jia Lan switched the button, and the light pulses on the skirt suddenly changed. First, they were all off, and then they lit up layer by layer from bottom to top, and then they were all off again, and then they changed to lighting up one layer at a time, or two layers at a time.

"This is so amazing! I thought it was cool enough just now. It's even cooler when it changes..." Lin Pin'er suddenly felt that words were insufficient to describe this masterpiece.

Jia Lan went on to introduce: "This is the part that I mentioned that needs to be debugged. We will then make the lights on the skirt into a streamlined area, like a galaxy, instead of the rigid one we have now. Then we will connect the lights to the computer so that the flashing of the lights can be based on the rhythm of the music or the plot. Then we will have a skirt that flashes with the music."

Lin Pin'er quickly understood what kind of skirt he was talking about, and hurriedly gave Wu Qing's phone number to Jia Lan, asking him to take Qiao Jie to find Wu Qing and complete the work together. As for the corresponding song, it was completed by Lin Pin'er. It was the first time for her to compose a song for a performance costume, and she felt fresh just thinking about it.

"Let's get back to the topic. Let's talk about my stage design now." Lin Pin'er arranged the skirt issue and immediately started talking about today's business seriously.

"Aunt, do you have any ideas?"

"I need you to present a scene from the flowerbed in the garden. This scene will be combined with oil paintings, and the decorations such as chairs and record players will be made of flowers."

Jia Lan suddenly got inspired and continued, "You can use morning glory to design the speaker of the record player."

Lin Pin'er nodded excitedly, her eyes shining. She knew that the cute Jia Lan must understand her thoughts.

"For lighting, we might use the ground lamps we have in our garden. Oh, and I also want a swing made of vines..."

Lin Pin'er expressed her desire to enrich her dream eloquently. Jia Lan also had a rich imagination. Whenever Lin Pin'er said something, he would immediately give feedback and opinions, and the two quickly reached a consensus.

"That's it for now. I'll give you the design when I get back." Jia Lan was ready to leave. He had just communicated with the program crew, and other bands' stages also needed his design. He would probably stay in the studio tonight.

"Wait a minute, we still have a stage. I thought about using my stage, so you can save some energy and not waste the stage." As she spoke, Lin Pin'er took out her cell phone and called Habby, and soon Habby came jumping in.

"Come here, Hobbit. These are my nephews and nieces. Jia Lan and Jia Pu." Then he introduced Hobbit to Jia Lan and Qiao Jie.

"Her stage this time is Alice in Wonderland, and the element happens to be a garden. But mine looks more like a fairy garden, while hers looks more like a weird garden, but the overall look is a garden."

Habi took out her cell phone and showed Jia Lan some pictures of elements she had thought of. Jia Lan understood them at a glance.

"You want a fireworks show like that? Like the ones at Disneyland?"

"Yes!" Habby nodded.

Lin Pin'er really admired how her little head came up with this idea. She only thought of some props and had never thought of a fireworks show.

“For this scene, I only need a long table, just like the afternoon tea that the Mad Hatter entertained Alice with. This inspiration came from the game that Li Yunmo played with me. Then other fantastic ideas, such as the sheep-headed priest, the running wooden horse, and the woolen ball bird, I hope to express through the fireworks show.”

"Of course, but our stage is indoors and we can't set off fireworks," Jia Lan reminded.

Yes, Lin Pin'er was a little depressed again. This idea was great. It would be great if it could be realized.

“But it can be made into a video animation and played on a big screen,” Jia Lan suggested.

"Yes, that's a good idea too."

"But animation is not my strong point, so I can only ask my uncle-in-law for help."

After hearing this, Lin Pin'er quickly took out her phone and called Li Shuirong, who soon came over to join the meeting.

Although there was no rehearsal that day, everyone was still busy until very late before going back to rest.
