"In Kunming Lilliputian Scenic Area, there are more than 100" Pocket Man "actors whose average height is less than 1.3 meters. They play the roles of kings and soldiers, build a virtual country and attract tourists from all over the world. In the shadow of COVID-19, the bleak and deserted scenic spots briefly resumed their excitement during the "May Day" Golden Week. Take off the costumes, and under the similar figure, these actors have different lives. "

On May 3, actors wearing masks lined up to pass the audience wearing masks in the Lilliputian Scenic Area in Kunming. There were more than 100 "Pocket Man" actors in this scenic spot, and 51 people returned to their posts before May Day. According to statistics, from May 1 to 5, Yunnan received a total of 9,966,200 tourists, returning to 66.8% of the same period last year.

Due to the epidemic, we missed the peak of Spring Festival travel and ushered in the "May Day" Golden Week with almost no tour groups. In Xishan District, Kunming, Chen Mingjing, the founder of Lilliputian Scenic Area, is worried about the benefits of the Golden Week. The epidemic has caused him a loss of at least 20 million yuan. The actors in Lilliput are all pocket people.

Since the establishment of the scenic spot in 2009, many actors have followed him until today. For these actors, this place is more than just a place to make a living. This is their country and their home.

　

On May 3rd, the actors who played samurai wore masks under fake beards.

Looking for "country"

Chen Mingjing used to run the instrument business. When he was on a business trip by train, he met two "pocket people". During the conversation, he realized the difficulties of this group. "Children have never been tall and have been bullied by bad boys in the village since childhood. Mom can’t lift her head, and some people will say, what did you do to give birth to such a doll? The hometown is not the hometown, it is their hell. "

Before Guan Shilin was 30 years old, his only income came from selling toys on holidays. Although the income is difficult, he also hopes that he can do his part to help his parents who are farming reduce some burdens. Guan Shilin didn’t like publicity, but if he wanted to make some money, he had to squeeze into crowded places. As soon as the stall was set up, children in the market excitedly pointed at him, and the bolder ones simply ran to the front and surrounded him, laughing and shouting. Guan Shilin has a kind temper. Although he is unhappy in his heart, he does not start to drive away.

The peers in the village go out to school, work to build a house, get married and have children. Everything an adult should do seems to have nothing to do with him. When others enter the society, he returns to his own small world, and his social activities become less and less. In his 30 s, Guan Shilin carefully handled his own sentimentality, chatting with netizens only about happy things, and digesting the troubles alone.

He felt that life had been like this, but the news that Chen Mingjing recruited Lilliputian actors changed Guan Shilin’s life. Chen Mingjing decided to set up an enterprise and explore ways to solve the dilemma of this special group. The first step is to let them work from their hometown. "If you don’t have a job, you can’t support yourself. If you always rely on others, how can you have self-esteem?"

A real job has a relatively stable income every month, and 100 colleagues are the same people as him. Guan Shilin feels that this is the right "country" for him.

When I came to Guan Shilin in Lilliput, I was steady and friendly, and soon became everyone’s "Guan Ge". Anyone who has troubles and no money to spend likes to come to him. One of the colleagues who made him feel particularly considerate and kind opened Guan Shilin’s closed heart and later became his girlfriend.

Colleagues working here had their own ideals when they were young: to be teachers and pharmacists, but these ideals were later broken due to physical defects. In the new life started by Lilliput, they have born new dreams.

Lu Mei, 26, from Wenshan, Yunnan, has worked for one year. Her dream is to have a grand wedding with her boyfriend.

Chen Zhongyou, 46, from Pu ‘er, Yunnan Province, has worked for 10 years. His dream is to buy a small four-wheeled ATV instead of walking.

Li Ying ‘an, 31, from Hanzhong, Shaanxi, has worked for 8 years, and his dream is to buy a car.

Yu Jianyi, 26, from Yizhou, Guangxi, has just started his job, and his dream is to find a girlfriend he likes.　 　

Zi Huihong, 20 years old, from Dali, Yunnan Province, has worked for one year. Her dream is to get a driver’s license early and get ready to buy a car.

Back to the safe haven

On May 3rd, an actor dressed as a samurai walked among mushroom villages.

Compared with Guan Shilin, Li Feng, who lives in Chongqing, is lucky. With the help of his brother, sister and friends, he runs a fishing gear shop. I watched the small shop every day, ending my wandering life of singing, dancing and performing skits at night shows in various places. Li Feng, who loves to play, began to guard the counter to earn money to support his family, marry and have children, and his life gradually became "on the right track", which is exactly what his father wanted before his death.

When the epidemic came, the store was forced to close. When he lost his income, he remembered a phone call. After dialing, it was his old leader Chen Mingjing on the other end of the phone. He said that he wanted to return to Lilliput and find a stable income to support his family.

Ten years ago, Chen Mingjing just started to build this mysterious country. Like Guan Shilin, Li Feng was one of the first veteran residents and 108 "pocket man" actors who came here.

At that time, my father came here with Li Feng, hoping to find him a stable job. Living in the dormitory, colleagues from all corners of the country are almost the same size, which makes him feel particularly cordial and colleagues soon become friends. Between friends, there is naturally no strange look, which makes him feel practical.

Apart from meeting so many friends at once, Li Feng is most satisfied with the flexible company system. He can visit his family once a week, and an actor who has a long way to go home like him can save up and take a long vacation together. "This rule is very humanized."

The good times didn’t last long. The next year, his father was seriously ill. Li Feng bid farewell to his friends and returned to Chongqing to run a small shop to accompany his father through his last days. After his father left, Li Feng felt like a duckweed, and the person who sheltered him from the most storms in the waves of fate left. Filial piety became his greatest wish, and he stayed in Chongqing until the wave of the epidemic came, and he drifted back to Lilliput again.

Wearing armor and holding weapons, this is his samurai costume in Lilliput. Before returning to Lilliput, he ran a fishing gear shop in his hometown of Chongqing and guarded the counter every day.

"Senators"

During the "May Day" Golden Week, the actors took a group photo in the "Mushroom Village".

After ten years’ return, Brother Guan is still here. He and Li Feng recognized each other at a glance. Now, Guan Ge’s main job is to manage actors, and he has a separate office, laughing at himself for doing logistics.

Perhaps because of his mobile phone, Li Feng felt that he was not out of touch with the outside world. In their spare time, they brush social software like live broadcast and short video, think about their life feelings and look at the news of the outside world. More often, Guan Ge prefers to listen to some sad songs quietly.

Although the number of tourists in this year’s "May Day" Golden Week is not as large as that in previous years, compared with the cold and cheerless days in previous months, the "May Day" lilliputian country is also briefly lively. Guan Ge kept calm, reminding everyone at meetings or WeChat groups from time to time, paying attention to self-protection, wearing masks and keeping a proper distance from tourists.

Among the tourists, an actor dressed as a samurai rides a pony that the scenic spot looks for according to their figure. Compared with the cold weather during the epidemic, Lilliputian temporarily regained its popularity during the May 1 Golden Week.

Before May Day, Brother Guan bought his girlfriend an electric car, which was much more expensive than the one he rode himself, 1000 yuan. This kind of portable electric car can greatly change the height of the seat and even the handle after it is bought back, and it is very popular in Lilliput.

The refitting work was carried out after dinner. In the afterglow of sunset, on the concrete floor outside the dormitory area, the men were busy in too many cooks. It was very lively. Brother Jia, the "mechanical master", wore sunglasses and brought a chainsaw. Andhadhun Zhao Binwen ran upstairs and pulled off the wiring board, holding a mobile phone for weeks to help Brother Jia fill the light. Brother Guan’s girlfriend is very satisfied with the modified car.

While Jie Ge was refitting the car, Yang Chuan intended to show off his car skills. This kind of BMX, which is popular in Lilliput, has sensitive brakes. Yang Chuanxiu likes to play "tail flick", so his tires are changed more frequently than others.

Like Li Feng and Guan Ge, the "elders" who came to Lilliput ten years ago are now left with Zhao Binwen and Cheng Zhou.

Zhao Binwen found his wife Peng Mei here. On May 20, 2013, they had a wedding in Lilliput. Zhao Binwen got a C5 driver’s license, bought an SUV, and modified the throttle and brake into a right hand to control. The couple drove nearly 200 kilometers and went to Peng Mei’s hometown.

Peng Mei said that the two have no plans to have children for the time being. After consulting several hospitals, they learned that the genetic risk is high. Li Feng’s first child finally decided to have an abortion because of deformity. He and his wife cried for a long time.

Cheng Zhou had both children, but unfortunately, when the two children were five or six years old, his wife accidentally fell dead while doing farm work, and Cheng Zhou, who was originally full of hope, fell into the abyss of sadness.

Relying on the subsidy of length of service, he earns more than 2,000 yuan a month every week. If his wife were alive, the family could still maintain, but now he needs his elderly parents to help him raise children.

Chen Mingjing said: "These actors are all from bad karma. They came here to trust me, and the company’s losses can’t affect their treatment. As long as it is within its ability, it will definitely improve everyone’s working and living conditions as much as possible. " Brother Guan suggested to the company to increase the actors’ income and more entertainment facilities, such as night market, small bar and chess room. At present, the company has suffered serious losses due to the epidemic, and these ideas are difficult to realize.

Chen Mingjing once dreamed of making the Lilliputian country bigger and expanding the number of actors from 100 to 1,000. But now, as the head of the enterprise, his first consideration is to try his best not to let this big ship that has been sailing for more than 10 years sink.

On May 4th, Dong Hongyu and Yu Jianyi were wrestling. During the performance, they both played the role of "Qigong Master" from Tubo, and continued to play their respective roles in their spare time.

On May 3rd, Chongqing actor Su Xingxing was cooking in the kitchen. On the third floor of the dormitory is a row of public kitchens and restaurants. Every two people share one room. Tired of eating lunch boxes, they can cook by themselves.

On May 4th, Ceng Wei, who plays Avanti, wants to hug the child of an acquaintance. It is difficult for "pocket people" to get married, and the genetic probability of defects is as high as 80%, which also makes people who try to have children daunting.

On May 3rd, the actors who finished the performance put on their clothes and waited for 6 o’clock sharp to get off work.

　　CCTV News:The 2019 China Network Audiovisual Development Research Report released by China Network Audiovisual Program Service Association shows that the short video market in China reached 46.71 billion yuan in 2018, up 744.7% year-on-year, and the number of short video users reached 648 million. Industry insiders predict that by 2020, the total number of daily active users in the domestic short video industry will reach 1 billion. With the vigorous development of major video platforms, video content emerges in an endless stream, which also leads to various chaos. How to effectively supervise the platform and avoid the industry from falling into "barbaric growth"?

　　Recently, Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court ruled that a live broadcast platform compensated the family of extreme enthusiast Wu Yongning for 30,000 yuan. The platform did not regulate videos that violated social morality and was at fault. In 2017, Wu Yongning, an extreme sports enthusiast, climbed a number of urban landmark buildings ranging from 100 meters to 400 meters in China by hand without any protective measures, leaving more than 300 challenging videos. These thrilling short videos quickly attracted more than one million fans. On November 8, 2017, Wu Yongning unfortunately fell to his death while climbing Changsha Huayuan International Center.

　　Last year, a large number of short videos of underage pregnant women were pushed to the homepage of a social platform, using the public’s curiosity to win the click-through rate and traffic. Some video platforms also showed negative content such as vulgar spoofs, pornography and pornography, and even challenged the legal or public moral bottom line. Some video platform bloggers have adapted the existing film and television drama works, but there is doubt whether the platform has the copyright granted by the film and television drama party. In addition, relying on the huge traffic dividend, the video platform has quickly become a new battlefield for businesses to compete. Various marketing short video accounts emerge in an endless stream, selling all kinds of goods to users. Netizens unconsciously place orders while brushing videos, but the quality and authenticity of products are difficult to guarantee.　　　　　　　　

　　Teenagers are vulnerable to the negative influence of short videos, and parents are generally worried.

　　Various video platforms are mixed, which requires users’ discrimination and self-control. Teenagers are easily attracted by short videos and addicted. In the interview, many parents expressed similar concerns.

　　Many parents said that it is understandable that teenagers like to watch short videos, which can appropriately reduce the pressure of learning. Some popular science content also helps children to increase their knowledge and cultivate hobbies. However, if parents don’t discourage them, children can keep watching, so the time for children to use mobile phones and computers is strictly limited.

　　Parents said that for teenagers who are curious and good at imitation, once they are not effectively guided, they are easily influenced by some bad information on the video, so short videos need to be strengthened in content filtering.

　　Strengthening the comprehensive supervision platform must be a "gatekeeper"

　　How to effectively supervise video content, strengthen copyright protection, safeguard users’ rights and interests, and protect minors has become a problem that must be considered in the long-term development of the industry.

　　At the beginning of this year, the short video industry ushered in the "most stringent new regulations" in history. China Network Audio-visual Program Service Association issued "Management Standard of Network Short Video Platform" and "Detailed Rules of Network Short Video Content Auditing Standard". The former clearly pointed out that the network short video platform implements the system of reviewing program content before broadcasting. Therefore, the short video platform is required to play the role of "gatekeeper".

　　In addition, the "Regulations on the Management of Network Short Video Platforms" requires that the network short video platform should fulfill the responsibility of copyright protection, and it is not allowed to cut or adapt film and television dramas without authorization. The Detailed Rules for Auditing Standards of Network Short Video Content contains 100 auditing standards, including whether the title is in compliance, whether it involves pornography, whether it is suitable for minors and so on. At the end of last month, the Network Information Office and other three ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Regulations on the Management of Internet Audio and Video Information Services", which put forward clear requirements for providers and users of Internet audio and video information services, and the regulations will be implemented in January next year.

　　Experts said that relevant departments should also take active actions to strengthen the supervision of short video platforms and urge them to perform relevant responsibilities according to law; For some acts that violate laws and regulations, it is even more necessary to intervene in accordance with the law and resolutely crack down. For short video and live broadcast platforms on the Internet, we can neither ban them in a one-size-fits-all way, nor let them go. Instead, we should build a live broadcast and video platform that is conducive to the healthy growth of minors through the rule of law. Under the guidance of the National Network Information Office, mainstream short video platforms on the market have successively launched "anti-addiction mode" for teenagers.

　　How are the glamorous ballet stars born on the stage? The biennial annual performance of the Central Ballet (hereinafter referred to as Zhongba) is a record of the birth of a ballet star.

　　On the evening of April 11th, in "Chasing Dreams — — Before the 2019 Central Ballet Performer Annual Assessment Show, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter interviewed Xu Gang, assistant to the artistic director of Zhongba and a ballet master of Zhongba, who explained in detail the promotion path from intern to lead actor.

　　form

　　Public ticket sales for assessment performance

　　"Candidates" face the audience directly.

　　For the actors of the Central Ballet, changing from an intern to a group dancer, then to the leading role, and even the chief actor is accomplished by step-by-step promotion. As a first-class art troupe in China, Zhongba has a strict and rigorous actor promotion system.

　　Xu Gang said that the assessment is generally held once a year, and once every two years, an open assessment will be conducted in front of the audience. Each assessment is a major event in the career of any actor in the troupe. In particular, the biennial performance appraisal is open for ticket sales. Actors should not only be assessed by the leaders and experts in the troupe, but also be directly tested by the audience, which is particularly important for actors who make a living on the stage.

　　Xu Gang said: "If we practice well in the classroom every day, the stage will not perform well, and it is not the talent we want. Only through the performance on the stage can we really see the extent of the actors. "

　　content

　　Scope and version according to level

　　The repertoire depends on the development of the troupe.

　　Before the assessment, every actor should fill in the level he wants to assess, and he can choose promotion or relegation. The plays that the actors have to examine are also different according to the level of application. Xu Gang said, "The international practice is that, for example, if we lack the main actors in a play, then all the people in the audience can compete for this position. We are not so strict, but we have an assessment every year. For example, the main actor should dance two classical dances and two modern dances, which is equivalent to an international ballet competition and complete four works. "

　　As for the assessment of the repertoire, Xu Gang revealed that the scope and version will be stipulated according to the level. "The repertoire will be determined according to the development of the troupe. For example, Don Quixote has many versions, and our group is jumping the more difficult version of Nuriyev, so we will stipulate to jump this version. Because there is a standard for jumping the rules. "

　　On April 10th and 11th, "Chasing Dreams — — The 2019 Central Ballet Actors Annual Assessment Show includes more than 30 repertoires. Xu Gang revealed: "Originally, the number of plays registered this time was enough for four parties, but only two performances were allowed in Tianqiao Theater, so we selected some mature actors and their works were suitable for public performances. There is also a party in our auditorium, which is not open for ticket sales, but will invite nearby residents to see it, which is a kind of welfare. There is also a party that will be abandoned. "

　　prepare

　　Actors basically finish rehearsals by themselves.

　　Ask the teacher for help in private.

　　The high comprehensiveness of ballet art determines that its requirements for actors are also comprehensive, which is fully reflected in the assessment of actors. Dancers’ technical skills, expressive force, musical sense and so on are all the objects of investigation.

　　It is worth mentioning that in the process of preparing for the examination, it is impossible for the leaders, rehearsal teachers and choreographers in the group to rehearse for the members one by one in a concentrated time, so in the process of preparing for the exam, the actors basically have to rehearse alone.

　　Xu Gang said that the actors are very hard-working. "They all use their own rest time to rehearse, and they all find their own partners to rehearse. They can ask the teacher for help in private, but they basically rely on themselves. They record videos to find gaps, especially some modern works. They are all learning now, and find people who have skipped before to help them guide."

　　process

　　Complete the chief dream for at least 10 years.

　　There are 20 levels to go through.

　　Ballet is an industry with thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge. From the intern to the chief actor, there are group dances, leading dances, solo dances and main actors, and each level will be divided into three or four grades. In this way, it takes nearly 20 levels for an intern to be promoted to the chief actor. In Xu Gang’s words, even the most talented and fastest-promoted ballet dancer needs at least 10 to 15 years to realize the dream of being the chief.

　　It is understood that there are only four chief executives, three actresses and one actor at present. "It is impossible to become the chief in the league for three to five years. Even after graduating from dance school, I have won the gold medal in the dance competition internationally. I have to join the group to dance for two or three years, and I have to blend in with the style of the troupe. It is possible for some people to dance in groups all their lives. Although there are 99% efforts, there is still 1% talent that cannot be ignored. " Xu Gang said.

　　result

　　At present, the promotion system only goes up but not down.

　　Without leaving the stage, the level will be higher and higher

　　Although this "dream-chasing" process is cruel, it is worthwhile for ballerinas as long as they are steady and steady step by step and win the blooming on the stage and the applause of the audience.

　　"For some actors, the annual appraisal performance is to show themselves. Its greatest significance is that actors can go on stage and dance what they want. Some people are prince-type actors, and they won’t choose non-prince-type roles. Some just want to choose a completely different type from themselves and challenge themselves. An actor in our group learned a duet of Carmen, and she told me ‘ I finally enjoyed myself ’ . Because only these three chiefs skipped in the group, and because it is the work of the master roland petit, others are almost afraid to touch it. This time, it is a good way to try the opportunity of passing the assessment and feel this work. " Xu Gang said.

　　China Pakistan changes the contract every two years, and the contract was signed on July 1st, so the assessment is basically set around April, and the assessment is an important indicator for signing and grading. Xu Gang revealed that so far, the level of actors has only risen but not fallen. "It is very difficult to climb to a certain position and it is unlikely to fall. As long as you give them something and show it on the stage, the general level will be higher and higher."
