Chapter 40 Preparations for the Opera Variety Show
Han Zhou said: "The words are not rough. That's the truth. ”
Ba Ge said: "It will be poor." ”
Han Zhou said: "I thought about it carefully, just the Peking Opera variety show, I'm afraid the audience is still too narrow." If you can run a variety show that integrates all kinds of local operas in China, the effect will be better. ”
Ba Ge said: "That's right. Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country, in addition, Lingnan has Cantonese Opera, Anhui has Huangmei, Northwest has Qin Dialect, Central Plains Henan Opera, Sukun Opera has Kunqu Opera, as well as Jin Opera, Yue Opera, Ping Opera, Huai Opera, Hebei Bangzi, Sichuan Opera, Lv Opera, Flower Drum Opera and so on. ”
Han Zhou said: "Yes, although these operas are different from Peking Opera, they all belong to traditional Chinese dramas, which are a form of drama that condenses the folk customs of a certain region and is popular with the public in that region. For example, in my family, the older generation likes to listen to Huangmei Opera. There are also local dramas, Lu operas, which are even more niche. ”
Huangmei Opera, although it is a local drama, is also a household name.
Formerly known as Huangmei Tune, Tea Picking Opera, etc., it originated in Huangmei, Hubei Province, and developed and grew in Anqing, Anhui Province.
There are many well-known excellent repertoire in Huangmei Opera, and the most representative ones are "Tianxian Pei", "The Female Concubine", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "Husband and Wife Watching the Lantern", "Playing Pigweed", "Spinning Cotton Yarn" and so on.
"The birds in the trees are in pairs", "Husband and wife return home", is a classic singing segment in "Tianxian Pei".
"In order to save Li Lang from his homeland, who expected to be the champion in the emperor's list. The champion in the middle, wearing a red robe, with a hat with saffron in his hat, is so wow~ so fresh", is a classic singing segment in "The Female Horse". Ms. Han Zaifen, a famous Huangmei Opera performance artist, a national first-class actor, and a two-time winner of the Plum Blossom Award (the Plum Blossom Award is the highest award in China's Liyuan Tour), sings this section very well. If readers and friends are interested, you can search for it.,Take a look and listen.。。
But even a well-known local drama like Huangmei Opera has gradually declined in recent years. The epidemic area of Huangmei Opera is shrinking, and the survival of Huangmei Opera troupes at all levels, especially county-level troupes, is becoming increasingly difficult, and they need the care and support of ZF and the whole society.
Huang Mei is still like this, and the situation of small local dramas such as Lu Opera is even more miserable.
Lu opera in the 20th century 50 ~ 80 years very prosperous, but in the late 80s, due to talents, market, mechanism, investment and many other reasons, the province's professional Lu opera troupe sharply reduced, by 2015, there are only more than ten remaining, the situation is not optimistic.
But on the other hand, the private troupes of the folk Lu opera professional troupe are booming, and there are more than 200 active in the popular areas.
Many of them rely on emerging self-media short video platforms to become popular.
In fact, many local dramas and local literature and art have rejuvenated their second spring in this form without relying on ZF's support.
Mainly on a sinking short video platform like Kuaishou.
Friends in Guangdong, especially in Chaoshan, must know this traditional dance: "Ying Song". (If you don't know if you're interested, you can search for it, it's very good-looking)
Chaoshan Ying song and dance is one of the dance forms of the Han nationality, popular in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong (Shantou, Jieyang, Chaozhou, Shanwei), with the footsteps of the Chinese, spread to Hong Kong, China and even Thailand and other regions.
The content is mainly some plots in "Water Margin", specifically, there are two main ones: one is that the heroes of Liangshan make up and sell their art to attack the Daimyo's Mansion and rescue Lu Junyi, and the other is that the heroes of Liangshan make up and rob the law field to save Song Jiang.
The main form of performance is a large-scale group dance, in which the dancers hold a short wooden stick in each hand, hitting each other up and down, left and right, with strong movements and strong rhythms. After the dance, there is also a small song and dance play, called "Ying Song Back Shed". According to the oral tradition of folk artists and the introduction of some supporting materials, Chaoyang Yingge originated in the Ming Dynasty.
The Chaoshan villagers formed a team and made up to look like a Water Margin hero.
Beat gongs and drums, sing and dance, and swagger through the market.
Very passionate, but also very rhythmic and beautiful.
The local drama, Qin Yan, is also very popular on Kuaishou.
Qin dialect, also known as "Bangzi dialect", one of the oldest dramas of the Han nationality in China, is very popular in Shaanxi. Qin's performance skills are simple, rough, bold, full of exaggeration, strong life atmosphere, and rich skills.
Qin dialect and Peking Opera are actually the same topic in many repertoire. But because of the difference in art forms, the feeling of singing is really completely different.
Readers and friends are interested, you can search for the repertoire of "Da Baoguo", listen to Peking Opera first, and then listen to the Qin dialect, compare the two, and feel it.
Qin's singing style is really fun and straightforward. It can bring you happiness all day long.
may also be precisely because Qin Cavity is down-to-earth, so on sinking platforms such as Kuaishou, it can attract the attention of fans more.
Ba Ge said: "If you want to run this variety show, I will definitely support you." ”
Han Zhou said: "Well, I'll go back and ponder, if I really want to do it, I will invite you to be a judge." ”
Ba Ge said: "If I am an outsider and a layman as a judge, I will be scolded by the audience." ”
Han Zhou said: "It's okay, they don't understand a truth. We want to revitalize traditional drama and do such a variety show, in addition to inviting outstanding young opera actors to participate, we also need to be popular outside the circle. Because the audience of traditional opera is very small, the popularity in the circle alone is completely insufficient, and it cannot attract more people's attention. But if outsiders like you join in, you can attract a lot of traffic. Many young people don't understand opera, but when they hear that Ba Ge participated in such a show, they may be willing to come and see it. Do you say?"
