Open the dusty memory, there is always a picture of the puppet show dragging the adult's clothes. The flexible and vivid little dolls dance on the stage that is not big, and bring to the audience, but it is a joy that is unforgettable for a long time.

Change, over the years, the word is like a wave of rushing sweeping the era, business, innovation... One concept after another has changed many things that were thought to be unchanging. As more and more traditions become memories of the people, how to inherit and retain them becomes a problem faced by the inheritors.

Like a puppet show. When traditional performing arts are integrated into modern techniques, some people clap their hands and others sigh. Whether a small puppet can restore the scenery of the year, no one can say. And there is always a group of people who are trying to explore, try, and do what they can.

"Golden Nose" of "Erlang God"

On December 9, the Guangdong Puppet Theatre. Young doll performance artist Ye Xiaohui is rehearsing nervously. On the 11th, she will go to Xi'an to participate in the 4th National Puppet Shadow Young and Middle-aged Art Competition. Her "matchmaker" puppet turned the scarf very fast, only to see the "matchmaker" turned the square scarf, but also danced, the light and skillful performance called people clap their hands.

The puppet turns the square towel and needs people to make a move. If in the past, people need to look at the puppet first, there is no way to perform so many moves. Nowadays, the puppets have been used to make the puppets turn their own squares, and the performers are able to concentrate on the puppets.

Ye Xiaohui said that it is not important to take the prize this time, but you must eat "crab" to let more fresh blood into the puppet show. She is firmly convinced that it is the age of technology and that puppets should be made more technological.

There is also the performer Huang Xiaodi who wants to eat "crab" together. The "Erlang God" in his hand was very hot and very impactful. The puppet's nose and eyebrows were made of metal, which has never been seen in the history of puppet shows. This change made Huang Xiaoxi happy and worried at the same time: "Do experts agree?"

There are four young people in the 70s after Cheng Mao, Chen You, Huang Yanshan and Luo Fulin.

"When the puppet show is going to turn the square towel and the smoking pipe, the pipe will also emit smoke and fire. In the past, it was all done by the actor by hand, and it was impossible to complete so many actions at the same time. Now it is improved, and multiple actions can be performed at the same time. This is a technique that is improved during the production process, and it can be said to be progress." When Cheng Yuan talked about his own "matchmaker", his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Of course, there are also many old actors who oppose. They think that actors are performing, we all do 'automatic performances', what do the actors do? I told them that the actors are based on improvement and incorporate some innovative actions. And performance skills, rather than blindly performing according to the requirements of the producer." Cheng Yuan believes that the production of puppets should be subject to the needs of the performance content, all means are to add to the performance.

When it comes to puppet making, Luo Fulin’s requirements are higher. He wants to use gold as a puppet. In Luo Fulin's heart, puppets can be more luxurious. It should not be just a work of art, but also a capital to become a luxury in art. However, gold is still too expensive, he had to choose non-ferrous metals. This is not only for the appearance, but also because his "Erlang God" wants to spurt fire, using traditional materials to easily blacken his face, or even burn it, and metal avoids this embarrassment.

Luo Fulin used metal as a puppet and crossed the river by feeling the stones. This time, he only used metal on his eyebrows and nose. This kind of attempt can survive smoothly. Luo Fulin is also worried about whether the experts agree or not.

More than ten years of puppet complex

No. 21, Fengyuan Street, Longjin West Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou, this small courtyard hidden in Xiguan, also belongs to the Guangdong Puppet Theatre.

In 1997, these four young people graduated from Guangzhou Art College. At that time, there were five students in the class. After they graduated, they came to the Guangdong Puppet Theatre and became the puppet maker in the group. .

The three men except Huang Yanshan are from Zhanjiang, and Yanshan and Chen You have formed a happy family. From the same school to the same unit, for more than a decade, four people have been fighting for common ideals. However, this job is not so satisfactory!

When I first came back, there were still 17 people in the production department of the troupe. As the old people retired one by one and could not find new people, it seems that they are saying goodbye every year. Since the retirement of the old predecessor Zeng Chengfu this month, the production department has only four of them left.

I have to admit that the unpopularity of this industry has made many people reluctant to devote themselves to it. Of course, there are more important reasons: the treatment is very low. Although they do not want to disclose an accurate figure, the reporter learned that if they rely solely on wages, they simply cannot maintain a basic life.

So, what makes them persist?

"Whenever I look at the puppets I have made on stage, I feel very fulfilled in my heart. For more than ten years of work, I have deep feelings for puppets, and I can’t lose it." Talking about their dreams and persistence, their The face is full of happiness.

How many puppets have been made in these ten years, I have long been unable to remember, this year alone, they have done more than 100 puppets for the "Digital Family", "The Mirror Snow White", "The Adventures of Pinocchio" and so on.

Nowadays, they are very famous in the national industry. Usually, it is not only the provincial troupe who asks them to make puppets. The troupes all over the country have to look for them. So every day is a working day, every moment is working time.

They say that many of today's innovative puppets come from them. Some of the new techniques used by the troupe have long been used.

Four "comprehensive talents

I once heard an old puppet said that a puppet weighing more than 10 kilograms will usually be held for 35 minutes in a row. In the end, "the arm can't be lifted up, and the arm is still painful at night, so I can't sleep." Today's puppets are no longer made of wood, and are made into materials that are lighter and more realistic, such as rubber, sponge, and paper.

During the speech, Luo Fulin appeared in front of the reporter wearing a big faucet.

He said that it was very troublesome to do the same large faucet process before. It was necessary to build the frame first, then to mold the clay, to turn the plaster mold, and then to use the FRP... It took about one month before and after, and it was heavy afterwards. Now that you have switched to rubber materials, it can be done in a few days, and it's light and realistic.

As manual craftsmanship becomes more demanding, they need to be constantly charging. They often meet to watch performances, collect related animation elements, and also pay attention to some sculpture information... At the same time, they often visit the electronics store and toy market to find inspiration.

From simple sculpture production to modern puppets, fire, water spray, etc., even the clothing is done by themselves... They laughed and said: "We are comprehensive talents!"

Be careful to make changes

The puppet originated from the ancient times. In the Zhou Dynasty, the woodcut doll was used as a funeral burial. Later, someone made a shackle in the form of a scorpion, thinking that it was an idol. Carved for the occasion, with a play, I have a puppet show.

In fact, what they do is traditional craftsmanship. But do puppets have to do this? Is inheritance of tradition or change? The contradiction between tradition and innovation has deeply puzzled and entangled these young people.

Every time I want to add a little thought and incorporate some modern technology, there will be some people who will "sigh and sigh". They began to be careful, and when they injected modern elements, they did not dare to show off. In this way, they quietly promoted, inherited and developed puppet art.

However, the most important thing is to get recognition in the industry.

Huang Bao, a national puppet performing art master, said before his birth: "Tradition is a good thing. We have to look at it like a mirror. But if we want to keep it inherited, we must reform and innovate, otherwise the audience will not like it." The four young people said Thank you very much for the experience and works left by the seniors. They just polished the signs left by the older generation. "We should build our own newness based on our own traditional culture."

In the puppet show hall of the Hongde Road Puppet Theater in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, there are many puppets created by predecessors. Through the thick glass, the expression of the traditional puppet seems to describe the glory of the year. The once-soul soul is sealed in a small space, a bit lonely, whether its fate can be restored, no one can say.

A light shines through the screen window, and then through the transparent glass cabinet immediately forms a myriad of light, the room is very bright, in an instant, the puppet's expression seems to be changing, the smile blooms in this bright.
