Chapter 12 Diversification of National Style!
When I came back to my senses, I found that Jiang Ran was a big treasure, and he could play the huqin?
Even everything is doing very well, is this still a young man?
Is there really such a strong young man?
It was also the first time he had seen that he could integrate the entire Chinese traditional opera into one furnace, even if it was taken out individually, the achievement was not low, and it was even stronger than the average opera practitioner who had worked hard all his life.
This is not meant to disparage professional actors, but to say that this person is beyond common sense.
The genius I saw before was nothing more than a good voice, but now this one has strong learning ability and a good voice to a certain extent.
That's a good thing, and it's a boost to him.
To inherit traditional culture, you must be proficient in it, and to carry it forward better, you must have enough skills to make people like you, so that you can better pass it on.
This kind of person is the gift from God to this industry, and being able to bring an industrial chain and feed a group of people is the food that the ancestor and even God rewarded.
In terms of purely opera, he felt that within five years, Jiang Ran would be enough to reach the peak.
It can even be said that it can be advanced.
Jiang Ran still wanted to hang for a while, but he was dragged by the old man to drink, how good is this voice, and he hangs every day, you don't feel distressed, I am too hard.
At the wine table, there is also nothing to talk about, from the singing of the opera to the development status of the entire opera.
"Hey, if it was a few decades earlier, at that time, it was really, listening to a drama was equivalent to watching a movie now, even if it was not a famous person, as long as there was a troupe, as long as it sang well and had its own selling point, it would be able to sell a full house. ”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly, in that era, it was indeed the case, as long as he had the strength, he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell the ticket price.
But it's just because of the lack of entertainment, it's really like watching movies now, but now there are really movies, and few people know about opera.
"You look at the current factions, one generation is not as good as the next, the road has gone astray, not to mention compared with the grandfather, even compared with the previous generation, it is a little less meaningful, and there are still young performing artists fighting for this and that, they are about to catch up with the entertainment industry. ”
The old man seems to have endless bitterness, and for the current situation of the opera circle, in addition to criticizing, it is a pity that there is no corner that can support the opera enough, and there is no person who can bring the whole opera alive.
After Jiang Ran took a sip of wine, he smacked his tongue slightly, "Not really, the current inheritance has not been broken, but the situation is not as good as before, those who used to like to listen to operas still like to listen to operas, but the tastes of young people in this generation have changed." ”
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ran said again, "In addition, the current opera, as long as it can inherit half of the strength of its predecessors, it will not decline, as long as it inherits one-third, it can be supported by the state, and as long as it can inherit one-tenth, it will not starve to death." ”
The old man groaned and did not refute, but still sighed lightly, "You are right, but opera is not something that should be comforted. ”
Jiang Ran shook his head and smiled, "I have always thought that since some things are outdated, let them remain silent, and if they decline, it means that many factors hinder development, and there must be future generations that cannot reach the level of predecessors, but it is enough to be able to inherit them for hundreds of years." ”
"Let it be, history will witness the development of these things, and the fact that they can be passed down for hundreds of years is enough to prove that these things have historical value. Jiang Ran said with a smile, "Even if the taste of literature and art has changed, there will still be people who will discover the beauty of this kind of thing later, maybe hundreds of years later, there will be people who look at the current Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera from an archaeological perspective, learn the vocal cavity of one sentence or two, bring it into a new mode of quyi, and then be amazing again." ”
"I mean, you plan to let them continue to be depressed, so what you have learned in this body, do you plan to feed the dogs?" said the old man disdainfully.
What he has learned, even he will be jealous, this kind of strength, saying that he wants to revitalize opera, it is not a propaganda thing, as long as there are enough people to listen, he is not afraid that he will not be able to keep people.
In addition, don't you pay attention to your appearance now, Jiang Ran's appearance is not too bad, and even to say, it is not worse than the popular little fresh meat at all, and the temperament is half a point stronger, with good looks and strength, why is it not popular!
Although the opera circle and the fan circle should not be next to each other, a person who likes traditional culture will not be much worse in quality.
I don't want to achieve any masters, let alone become famous in the world, and even to say, fame is not so essential for me, I still like the countryside more, men and women weave, spring to pick mulberry, summer fishing, autumn can ripple in the field, winter can see the snow scene, it is enough. ”
"Opera can only be used as a hobby, learning because it is good enough, and your own art can only be appreciated by yourself. ”
The righteousness of the words is awe-inspiring, and the old people who see it believe it at the point.
Every time Jiang Ran said a word, the smile on the old man's face was a little more, "In that case, why do you still come out to sing, and even say that this is still a variety show, I heard you mean that you want to polish your art in the mountains and wilderness, which is a bit of a conflict with your ideals." ”
Jiang Ran's next sentence almost squirted out a sip of wine that the old man had just drunk.
"For the money, of course!"
"800,000 yuan in two months, who doesn't earn money for nothing, and knows honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing, in addition, I can also fight for the 500,000, this is 1.3 million. Jiang Ran said as a matter of course, "The idea of no money is empty talk after all, even if you really want to do something for your own art, money is the most important thing." ”
Li Lao said with interest, "I know that you kid will not be willing to be bland, even if it is our group of old men, it is ten years of drinking ice, it is difficult to cool the blood, tell me what you think." ”
"My idea is very unrealistic, are you sure you want to hear it?"
"Tell me about it. "The old man is interested. "Young people's ideas are always full of vigor and energy, and this industry needs young people like you. ”
"I want to integrate all the traditions and become a universe with a diverse national style, so that it can be more accepted by young people, since a single tradition has declined, then if it is all put together, it is definitely an extremely large chain"
"The quintessence of the country, these treasures, should not be buried, and even some old artists should come out and walk around, so that people can understand that there are still people who are inheriting these things and can feel this beauty. ”
Every time Jiang Ran said a word, the contemplation on the old man's face became solemn.
Jiang Ran said everything in his heart, every sentence is reasonable, but it is not difficult to realize it, what is needed is time and money, without money, why talk about these ideals?
Now he understands why Jiang Ran is bound to get the 500,000 yuan, because he is short of money!
Very short of money!
So Jiang Ran said that now his idea is still unrealistic.
"I once saw a Q&A on a forum. ”
"The topic above is 'What other unexpected historical figures are still alive?' ’”
"The first one, do you know who it is, Old Zhao!"
"Debuted on stage at the age of seven, his debut was the peak, he was popular all over the country in his teens, and he was as famous as Mei Cheng Xun Shangzhang in his twenties, ranking among the fourteen first batch of first-class actors issued by the state at the beginning. ”
"Now, not to mention that no one knows her on the street, some people now don't know that she is still alive, I have to say, this is the sadness of this era, Zhao Lao is the master of Peking Opera, and there are still young actors in the art of the Zhao School in the inheritance, walking on the road, but no one knows. ”
"I think this kind of person is the real star, the star who can light up the whole night sky. ”
Through wine, Jiang Ran also said a lot, "Traditional things shouldn't be like this, but it seems to be like this, this is a grotesque circle, as if beautiful things are doomed to die." ”
"Although the epiphany is beautiful, it can't keep half of the beauty. ”
"Time, it's a torturous thing, smoothing out beauty and getting a new aesthetic concept. ”
The old man did not interrupt Jiang Ran's words, but followed Jiang Ran's words and fell into deep thought, yes, a lot of things, too many things, began to die, and no one seemed to be able to stop it for a moment.
Just like history, the 600 years of Kunqu Opera and the 200 years of Peking Opera have gradually moved towards a niche, and then it has become even more niche, from few people to few people to few people to watch.
It has been brilliant, and some people have worked hard for it, pioneered and innovated, and developed the genre that can be developed to the extreme.
Why is it declining?
Isn't it beautiful?
No!
It is the eye that lacks beauty to find beauty, and to love beauty.
Now the old man already has a spectrum in his heart, and what he said is not a lie to integrate the entire national culture, because he himself has this ability!
After thinking about it, the old man moved his head closer, lowered his voice, and said, "If you want, I have some resources here." ”
"Ahem, that, Mr. Li, I'm not that kind of person, I don't know what resources are not resources. Jiang Ran's old face flushed, and he coughed lightly and said.
Li Lao was also puzzled, why did Jiang Ran react so much?
Li Zuguang also said with a somewhat solemn expression, "I can get together a complete band here, all of them are for the old gentleman to play boards and the like, after retirement, there is nothing to do, do you want to set up a team, and after that, I will rely on the relationship to get you a few big stage resources, so that you can perform everything you want to perform." ”
He's old and wants to do something for the industry more than himself.
After Jiang Ran heard this, he was slightly shocked, he didn't think about it, he wanted some resources on the big stage, and he could show what he wanted to present, but it was still a little unrealistic, which can only be said to be one of the dreams.
The amount of money needed should be calculated in a massive amount, costumes, scenery, props, art, makeup, camera, which does not need money, and even if it is full, it may not be able to earn back all the money invested.
If no one cares, all this money will be wasted.
He knows this in his heart, but the main thing is to see how the audience chooses, after all, the taste has changed, acting in old dramas, those who can watch the drama now should be some old drama fans, and after investing, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.
Because it is fresh blood that is needed, it is a difficult question to choose.
Will anyone agree with a new play?
Now the new play, which is not on the street, no matter how good the script is, it is in vain.
So I can only take one step at a time, first let people know themselves, and then know the plays and roles they have played.
Without enough economic foundation, no one will pay for their dreams, and Jiang Ran is the same, even saying that there is a little bit of enthusiasm, but it is just a dream that can be done or not.
"Thank you, brother, but my current strength is not at home, and I still have a lot to learn, I'm afraid, it's difficult to hold up a platform. ”
"You always have to try, when you win this championship, after that, you will have a certain reputation, and then you will come to play a big play, isn't it just right, when the time comes, find a few professional actors to play the role, I think you can set off some waves." ”
"That's not enough. Jiang Ran smiled and shook his head, "I first want them to recognize me as a person, and then I want to promote these things, it's difficult, take your time, I'm still young, don't worry." ”
The old man could only give up, "If you have any difficulties, just come to me, we are a group of old bones, idle and idle, if we can help you, you can just ask." ”
"In addition, you are young, we are not young anymore, I don't know where we can send you, whether we can see the day when opera re-enters the streets and alleys. The old man wiped the corners of his eyes, suddenly poured a sip of wine, and said. "Maybe our requirements are very low, it's good not to be declined, but if it goes on like this, decline is inevitable, every time I see some young actors selling full, I will be very happy, the only worry is whether their strength can keep up, some old dramas have died, there is no money, they can't be discharged, and if they are discharged, there will not necessarily be a field to sing, hey. ”
Yes, these people love opera and the career they are engaged in to the bones.
Feeling the emotional changes of the old man, Jiang Ran also understood something, how much ability there is, how much responsibility he has to bear, this society needs these traditions, and it needs a person who can revive these traditions.
Jiang Ran could only secretly make up his mind to improve his strength faster, and then reach the master first, although he is now in a single industry, he has already entered the master level, but it is uneven, so that in the column of Chinese music, it is still a little bit worse.
Similarly, Jiang Ran is also looking forward to this group of old people who have participated in the cultivation of the gods to form a band for themselves, after all, even if they are old, they have played the strings and drums for the great grandmaster back then.
