納米比亞大學主校區位于首都溫得和克的正南部,周圍被土黃色的山丘和棕褐色的低矮灌木叢籠罩。整個校區的建筑以低飽和度的紅黃為主色調,使之與周圍自然環境融為一體。從遠處眺望,校區很像是分工有序的螞蟻就地取材建起的一座座沙漠城堡。據說學校樓群建于三十多年前,雖斑斑點點略顯破舊,但師生穿梭其中卻能感受到這個年輕國家難有的厚重感。
《送別》拍攝的靈感來源
走進校園,一座座教學樓形態十分相似,但各自內部又大有乾坤。初到納米比亞大學,仿佛置身在《紀念碑谷》那款游戲中的迷宮里——建筑的迷宮和生活的迷宮不謀而合。而這也正是本次《送別》視頻拍攝的靈感來源。
漢語班的同學們因學習漢語相遇、相識、結為伙伴,但一位朋友的畢業讓大家不可避免面臨離別。悄悄是別離的笙簫,含蓄的艾樂試圖在白扳上留下書信獨自離開。好友們震驚難過之余馬上在校園展開了尋找之旅。然而造就彼此相遇的校園迷宮,卻使得尋找難度加倍。離開和搜尋不斷地變幻為后腳剛到,前腳恰巧消失的情景。最終好友潘莎在校門口的廊橋上發現了艾樂離開的背影……
盡全力拍攝出最好的效果
本次歌曲演唱的任務由納米比亞大學孔子學院學分課三級班的姑娘們主動承擔。她們不僅有著天使般的歌喉,還不乏與老師們在非洲大陸頂著炎炎烈日取景拍攝的耐心,一次次的演唱都令拍攝的工作人員十分感動。
從老師手里接過《送別》譜子的那一刻,同學們就無時無刻不在哼唱著,以便能夠盡早呈現出完美的作品。即使專業拍攝與收音設備欠缺,也不能阻擋大家全力完成此音樂視頻的錄制。
在孔院的教室里,姑娘們圍坐一圈并將手機置于正中以盡最大可能地保證收音效果。潘雨楠老師坐在姑娘們的一側,懷抱吉他、撥弄琴弦,錄音筆緊貼琴身以便排除其他雜音的干擾,為大家做好伴奏工作。
師生、生生之間長期相處的默契使得我們很快就達到了令人滿意的結果。雖然lt;送別》是一首離別的歌曲,但拍攝任務一直都在其樂融融的情境下完成。拍攝結束后,同學們像孩子般地爭搶著說:“老師,老師,剪輯結束后一定要第一時間發給我!我要把它分享到各個社交平臺展示給我的朋友們看!”
非洲孔子學院的漢語教學,尤其是位于西南非洲的納米比亞,雖然開始得沒那么早,條件也沒那么優越,但是熱愛學習漢語的同學們從來不缺堅持不懈的精神和對中國這個遙遠而友好的國度的向往之情。同學們渴望著向世界展示在非洲西南一隅也有漢語之花在盛開。
Located in the south of Namibia's capital Windhoek, the main campus ofthe University of Namibia is enveloped by earthy yellow massifs and reddish,brown low brushwood. Red and yellow are the main colors of the buildingsin the campus, making the campus integrate with the surrounding naturalenvironment. Looking out from a distance, these buildings are like the cas-tles in desert that are constructed by well-organized ants with locally avail-able materials. It is said that these buildings were constructed over 30 yearsago. With fleckiness on the buildings, they seem to be a little bit shabby, butteachers and students can feel the rare decorous feeling in this young coun-try when shuttlinq throuqh them.
Source of Inspiration of \"Farewell\"
Entering the campus, one can see that thebuildings look like each other in forms but theyhave their own features internally. Arriving at theUniversity of Namibia, one may feel like to be inthe labyrinths of the game Monument Valley-the labyrinths in the game coincide naturallywith the labyrinths in life. This is the source ofinspiration of \"Farewell\"
Because of Chinese language learning, stu-dents at the Chinese Language Class met andbecame acquainted with each other. But a friendhas to leave upon her graduation. Quietness isthe farewell music. Ai Le, who is bit shy, tried toleave quietly after writing a farewell letter on thewhite board. In surprise and tears, Ai Le's friendsimmediately began to look for her in the cam-pus. But the labyrinths of the buildings made itmore diffcult to find her out. They coincidentlymissed each other during the searching. In theend, Pan Sha, one of Ai Le's friends, found Ai Lein the gallery bridge in front of the school gate,who was about to leave……
Try Their Best to Make Best Video
The singing was voluntarily undertaken bythe girls at the Class Three of the Credit Courseat the Confucius Institute at the University ofNamibia. They have not only the singing voiceof angels but also the patience to find views andshoot the video with teachers even under thescorching sun. Every time they sang, the photog-raphers were deeply touched.
At the moment of taking over the music scoreof \"Farewell\" from the teacher, the students be-gan to sing incessantly so as to produce a perfectwork as soon as possible. Shortage of professionalshooting equipment and audio devices did nothinder the recording and shooting of the musicand video with all strength.
At the classroom of the Confucius Institute,the girls were seated in a circle and placed a mo-bile phone in the center so as to ensure the perfectsound effect. Sitting on one side, Miss Pan Yunanplayed guitar with a recording pen closely clung tothe guitar so as to eliminate the noise and preparefor the accompaniment.
Thanks to the tacit understanding between teach-ers and students as well as among students, weobtained a satisfactory result very quickly. Although\"Farewell\" is a farewell song, the video shooting wascompleted in cheerful way. At the end of the shoot-ing, the students, as if they were children, rushed tothe teacher, \"Miss, send the video to me as soon asyou finish editing! I will share it on the social plat-forms and show it to my friends!\"
Chinese language teaching at the Confucius Insti-tutes in Africa, especially in Namibia that is locatedin Southwest Africa, starts relatively late. Withoutfavorable condition, the students there love learningChinese and are indefatigable, being attracted by thefriendly and remote China. They hope to show theworld that the flower of Chinese language is also infull bloom in Southwest Africa.
