Pei Yanzhi said, "This is the original division of the people in the rivers and lakes, divided into the upper nine streams and the lower nine streams, the upper nine streams have monks, Taoist priests, painters, Lang Zhong, Mr. Feng Shui, fortune tellers, cooks, private school gentlemen, pharmacies, and the lower nine streams have excellent lings, maidservants, prostitutes, beggars, villains, head shaving masters, pawnshops, bathhouses, Carpenter, so just now my Master Mei said that Peking Opera is the same as shaving your head and pedicures, which is not wrong at all, it was true back then, when our Peking Opera was called the lower ninth rate, why our lower ninth rate is now called the first quintessence, which can be regarded as higher than the upper ninth rate, it is because of the joint efforts of countless masters and artists who love Peking Opera and hope to improve the status of Peking Opera that Peking Opera has today's status. ”

"I have read a lot of history, and I have seen a lot of the art of war, I understand the reason why the Peking Opera industry has begun to decline in recent years, the so-called easy to fight the country, it is difficult to sit on the country, from ancient times to the present history is like this, every dynasty in the first place, the sword soldiers into the warehouse, the horse put Nanshan, the people live in peace and contentment, the whole country has a thriving situation, but after a few generations, the whole country began to go downhill, until the final collapse. ”

"I think Peking Opera is also facing this problem now, of course, there is no comparison between our Peking Opera industry and the country's process, but one thing is actually the same, that is, slack, just like the country, the peace has been peaceful for a long time, the soldiers can no longer pick up swords and guns, Wenchen loves money, military generals are afraid of death, generation after generation of people, the heart has been smoothed, more and more people are messing around, people who are really patriotic, who really want the good of the country, can't make a sound, or say that they make a sound, but everyone else covers their ears and pretends not to hear。 ”

Mei Wenjiu nodded and said, "Yan Zhi's statement is very appropriate, I have also considered this issue more than once, what is the crux of the Peking Opera industry, there are more and more people who are messing around, three years ago, I came to the National Peking Opera Company with the help of Yan Zhi's Peking Opera "Red Ling" adaptation. That day, I was furious, because I knew that if I didn't speak again, I wouldn't have a chance to say it again. ”

"There were 20 vice presidents of the National Peking Opera Company at that time, and I had to dismiss 16 of them, and I had to dissuade 13 of the famous artists over 70 years old in various genres, and look at these people, which one is not gray temples, which one is not the pillar of the Peking Opera industry, and which one is not my senior brother, younger brother, younger sister, and younger sister. They're rotten, and my heart is going to break!"

Mei Wenjiu slapped it on the table fiercely, and said bitterly, "My father handed over Peking Opera to me, but now it has become like this, my heart aches, I am ashamed of Peking Opera, I am ashamed of my father, I am ashamed of those masters who shed their last drop of blood and sweat for Peking Opera, I can't wait to dismiss myself!"

Listening to Master Mei Wenjiu's words like a cuckoo crying blood, the Peking Opera actors watching this episode in front of the TV were all silent, as if Master Mei Wenjiu was in front of them, and they were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to gasp.

"At the beginning, I thought that the problem in the Peking Opera industry was outside, because there are more entertainment methods now, and everyone has more choices, so Peking Opera is not treated by everyone, although I am heartbroken, but there is no way, because this is the law of nature, only when Peking Opera is such an entertainment method, everyone can only choose Peking Opera, just like when there is such a restaurant around, no matter how the food is cooked, everyone comes here to eat, because there is no choice, but when there is a second or third one, if your food is not as good as others, then you just have no business, and there is nothing to say。 ”

"But the root knot is here, in the face of such a strong competition from the outside world, our Peking Opera actors actually chose to stand still, and even chose to surrender, I can forgive the crime of non-war, but surrender, this is resolutely unforgivable. ”

"So I am becoming more and more clear, the reason why the Peking Opera industry is declining now is not outside, it is here in the Peking Opera industry, in the hearts of some of our Peking Opera actors, in the hearts of the leaders of those theater troupes, if you are rotten there, our Peking Opera industry will be rotten, if you are all rotten, then our Peking Opera industry will really be finished, although we will not die without a place to be buried, but are you worthy of those who have fought all their lives for the Peking Opera industry, are you worthy of the founders of your genre, worthy of your ancestors? ？”

The leaders of the Peking Opera troupe in front of the TV were all ashamed, looking at the old man in the TV set, looking distressed, and bowed their heads speechlessly.

Pei Yanzhi also hurriedly held Mei Wenjiu's hand, and looked at Mei Wenjiu with a worried face, Mei Wenjiu's state today is very wrong.

The other three also looked at him with an uneasy expression, Han Pingzheng frowned, looking at his old friend, and the worry in his eyes was overflowing.

Mei Wenjiu patted Pei Yanzhi's hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, these words have been held in my heart for too long, don't vomit or be unhappy, over the years, I have been scared for these things, I'm really afraid that before I close my eyes, I will see the day when Peking Opera collapses, and I don't know how to explain to my father at that time." ”

Mei Wenjiu sighed, with a relieved smile on her face, held Pei Yanzhi's hand, and said with a smile, "Over the years, the happiest thing for me is you, Yanzhi, I have watched you come to this day step by step, and Master is happy in my heart, because Master knows that the person who can save the Peking Opera industry has appeared!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the audience in the audience let out an exclamation, but even the audience in front of the TV had shocked expressions, not to mention the Peking Opera actors who watched TV.

Pei Yanzhi hurriedly stood up, looking sincerely frightened, with a hint of embarrassment, he lowered his head and said, "Master's words are serious!"

Han Pingzheng next to him looked clear, and it seemed that these two people had already tacitly understood it.

Pei Jingqi and Gao Feng looked at Mei Wenjiu and Pei Yanzhi half excitedly and half worriedly, one was his father, and the other was a teacher who was as close as his father.

Mei Wenjiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Yanzhi, you don't have to be arrogant, in our artist industry, there is such a saying, money presses slaves, art presses pedestrians, in our Peking Opera industry, as long as you have real skills, you are this!"

Saying that, Mei Wenjiu gave a thumbs up and said, "As long as your ability can convince them, age and generation are nothing, in the past, which big horn in the Peking Opera industry did not become famous at a young age, my father Mr. Mei Lanfang, your master Mr. Ma Lianliang, which one is not already famous at your age, what do you have to worry about, as long as your ability is good enough, the audience buys your account, this is your ability." ”

"None of the actors of the younger generation can surpass you, let alone surpass you, there is no one who can compare with you, after beating the same generation, you need to have a higher pursuit, polish your art, adapt new repertoire, inheritance and development are indispensable, if you want to really become the leader of the Peking Opera industry, then you need to go out of a path that no one has before, that is, what you said in the show before, to create your own genre. ”

Mei Wenjiu said with a smile, "Don't look at what genre you are singing now, you know, but most of them are superficial, you haven't dug into the connotation of this genre, it's not that this cavity, you learn like it, you will sing this genre, this is the most basic, learning like is nothing, learning like at the same time, you have to have your own style, this is the most difficult, in the end, and then leave the essence of this genre and add your own style, then you will form your own genre, which can be called a master of Peking Opera." ”

Pei Yanzhi nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I will keep working hard!"

Mei Wenjiu said so many words just now, and felt a little tired, so he leaned back in the chair, half-squinted, and looked at Pei Yanzhi with a smile.

Pei Yanzhi also felt the emotions of today's master, and he was very motivated by himself, and his father and several masters came to stand up for him today, this feeling is really unspeakable.

Pei Yanzhi smiled at the camera and said, "My Master Mei's words just now are really deafening, and I feel infinite motivation, everyone, this is enthusiasm, this is the enthusiasm for Peking Opera, if you don't have this enthusiasm for Peking Opera, I will give you this passage of Master Mei, you can't read this momentum!"

The audience snickered, but they also looked at the majestic old man on the stage with admiration in their eyes.

Pei Yanzhi felt that the atmosphere of the scene was a little dignified by Jiu Ye, as a talk show, Pei Yanzhi felt that it was better to make the effect a little more cheerful.

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "By the way, I don't know if you know, my senior brother Dong Hu is now filming a TV series called "Old Nine Gates", have you paid attention to it!"

Many people in the audience shouted,

"Yes!"

"I heard!"

"Didn't you say that it was based on "Tomb Robbery Notebook"?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that there is also Zhang Jiashuai!"

"Really, I like him the most, then I'll have to take a good look at it then!"

"That's right, what is Shuai Shuai playing!"

......

Pei Yanzhi looked at everyone's excited face, clapped his hands, and said, "Since it is "Tomb Robbery Notebook", of course, the main line is still tomb robbery, what is it about, everyone will know when they see it, what I want to talk about today is Zhang Jiashuai, the classmate you mentioned just now! He is playing a Peking Opera actor in the play, so my senior brother handed him over to me and let me teach him for a month!"

The audience in the audience screamed, they didn't expect Zhang Jiashuai to have such an experience!
