Chapter 55: A flash of inspiration

Seeing Peng Hui's dazed look, Guo Yue helplessly explained: "Although your puppet show has been canceled from your major, the ones you learn in school still have an audience in the end, and you can ...... folk music."

Peng Hui blinked.

"To be honest, I don't know what I'll be able to do after I finish studying folk music. Guo Yue said helplessly: "I'm okay, I'm a dulcimer, there are always some ancient style clubs or something to enter, do you know how miserable it is to learn the big drum? It has been reduced to the live accompaniment of a certain competition or ceremony, and what is even more speechless is that people would rather have some dynamic drum kits than dirt drums!"

When Guo Yue said this, her eyes were full of helplessness.

Learning folk music is because of love, but love can't be eaten.

When you were young, you could dabble in it as a hobby, but when you grow up and enter society, can you continue like this?

You have to support your family, you have to make ends meet, you have to make money.

It's not that we become philistine, it's that this society makes us have to be philistine!

Although Peng Hui's puppet show was canceled in the last play, there is still a large market in the local market.

Although the market is not large, this group is not large, so there is nothing.

But what about the dulcimer?

The dulcimer is the same as the piano, but when people listen to the performance, they must want the piano, not the dulcimer.

And to be honest, compared to the fame of the piano, how many people in China have heard of the dulcimer?

The drum is still good, so what kind of celebration and activity can there be, but what about the dulcimer?

Except for the interest club, who would expect the dulcimer to eat?

If puppet shows are still a bit of a market in China, then the dulcimer, and even folk music, are not even the basic market in China!

I have to say that this is the sorrow of this era, and it is also the sorrow of our country and society.

It is true that the things of our ancestors are not necessarily good in everything, but why can't we take the essence and remove the dross?

Why do you have to just throw away all the old things?

This is true of puppet shows, such is the case of drama, and this is true of folk music.

What's even more tragic is how many inventions and things that originally belonged to our country turned out to be someone else's for some reason?

Is this sad in the end?

Or is it a pity?

I have to say that the same similar experience made the relationship between Guo Yue and Peng Hui quickly get a lot closer.

Both of them were in a bit of a low mood.

"Aren't you a director?" Guo Yue asked helplessly, "Can't you make a movie that overturns the case for puppet shows?"

Obviously, Peng Hui is not the only one who has such thoughts.

"It's difficult! it's too difficult!" Peng Hui said with a wry smile, "Do you know what a puppet in the puppet show looks like to some people?"

Guo Yue showed a listening expression.

"Doll! Little girl plays with a doll at home!" the bitterness on Peng Hui's face became thicker and thicker, "And this kind of thinking is not only for adults, but even for many people who have learned puppet theater at the beginning!"

"This ...... It's not the same thing at all, is it?"

"It's just like your dulcimer and suona are both folk music, but are these two the same thing?" Peng Hui asked rhetorically.

"This is just an exception, isn't it?"

"If it were just an exception, I wouldn't say anything. Peng Hui smiled bitterly and explained, "Do you know what the most outrageous thing is?"

"What is it?"

"Ten years ago, didn't there be a Hello Kitty tragedy in Xiangjiang? As a result, my teacher said that since that year, the number of new puppet shows has dropped by nine-tenths!"

"Hiss......" Guo Yue gasped.

"You said that bastard! What is he not good at, he has to use a doll! The result is good, so that our puppet show has directly become a container for that kind of thing, plus a series of film and television dramas often have a smear of dolls, you can imagine why our puppet show has not been able to recruit new students. ”

Guo Yue was dumbfounded.

Peng Hui said with a wry smile: "This circle is small, but no matter how small it is, it needs a steady stream of newcomers, any circle, without newcomers, will inevitably decline or even perish!"

"Both of our majors are actually ...... Hey, no, you're a director now, and it's going to be easier to get a job. ”

"What!" Peng Hui asked helplessly: "Do you know how many years it takes from graduation to becoming a director?"

Guo Yue shook his head.

"Even in the current impetuous entertainment industry, if a rookie director wants to get ahead, either you have a talent against the sky, or you have money, if you don't have both, then I'm sorry, please go and stay up for five years first, and then you can't be a director at the beginning, you have to start as a field assistant, and then do field work, some people will also work part-time casting, and then to assistant director, then to director, and then to chief director, so to speak, just count all the steps in this series, and I will have to stay up for at least five years! And it's still an optimistic estimate. Peng Hui explained with a wry smile.

"It's not easy for anyone......" After holding back for a long time, Guo Yue squeezed out such a sentence.

Peng Hui smiled bitterly.

"Hey, you directing dramas are the way to promotion in the future, and our folk music is confused in the future, damn it! If there is a movie that can describe our folk music, no, even if it's a TV series!"

Peng Hui was suddenly stunned and stopped.

Looking at Peng Hui's pensive appearance, Guo Yue asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Don't think about TV dramas. Raising his head, Peng Hui said in a slightly excited tone: "After all, the people who follow dramas nowadays are all female audiences, and what people watch is falling in love, if you make a talk about folk music, I guess no one will care, but the movie ...... There is a head. ”

Guo Yue was stunned, subconsciously took a step forward, and asked eagerly, "Is there a head?"

"Yes. Peng Hui said with a smile: "The current film market is not as good as before, and now as long as there is a good story, the audience will pay for it." ”

"Yes...... If you want to make a movie, you need a lot of money, right?" Guo Yue asked helplessly, "Do you have it?"

"This ......," Peng Hui smiled bitterly.

Although he has the copyright of "You at the Same Table", but the copyright is a thing that cannot be realized immediately, even if it is realized, it will only kill millions, if you just want to eat and wear for the rest of your life, it is naturally enough, but you want to make a movie......

No matter how confident Peng Hui is, he has to admit that he is a little too whimsical.

"That's right. Guo Yue asked: "Can you do a demo like the game and find someone to attract investment?"

"Demo?" Peng Hui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Will it be safe?"

"But it's better than you just fooling people, right? And I heard the seniors in the directing department say, aren't investors stupid and quick to make money?" Guo Yue asked curiously.
