At the dinner table, Zhao Yikang didn't put any old people's shelves, of course, in the face of Lin Ruofeng and Guan Yanmiao, he had no way to put up a shelf, not to mention, he had to ask for the two of them.

Therefore, Zhao Yikang was naturally amiable at the dinner table, and had a very happy conversation with Lin Ruofeng and Guan Yanmiao. But what is surprising is that Zhao Yikang did not mention anything about opera at all.

In the face of this, Lin Song, Chen Kuo and Gu Shitong naturally did not take the initiative to mention it without interest, after all, they still trusted Zhao Yikang.

Of course, Lin Ruofeng saw that the other party didn't mention it, so he naturally wouldn't speak.

This meal is like a Chinese New Year's Eve meal for the whole family.

After a meal.

Zhao Yikang seemed to have been prepared, and after drinking a little wine, he slowly spoke, "Teacher Lin, why did you say that people nowadays have lost interest in the quintessence of the country?"

When Lin Ruofeng heard this, he naturally knew the meaning of Zhao Yikang's words, but he shook his head with a smile and said: "Maybe it's because it's the Internet era, everyone has a mobile phone, and you can watch anything." ”

"Yes!

Zhao Yikang seemed to grasp Lin Ruofeng's words, and sighed: "I watch everything, but I don't watch opera, you say, calligraphy, Chinese painting, even clothing, and ancient etiquette, people all watch it, but it is also an opera handed down by ancestors, but there are very few people who watch it, what is the root of this?"

"Old Zhao is puzzled?" Lin Ruofeng asked rhetorically.

"Incomprehensible!" Zhao Yikang nodded solemnly, as if he really didn't know why. "Teacher Lin, do you know?"

"I don't know much. Lin Ruofeng replied lightly.

"I want to hear about it. Zhao Yikang said as if he didn't care.

"Then I'll talk to the old gentleman. Lin Ruofeng didn't care whether Zhao Yikang's expression was true or false, since the other party wanted to know, then he said it clearly, firstly, he admired Zhao Yikang's actions, and if he knew the root cause, he might be able to understand where to break through, and secondly, he didn't know if the other party agreed with his own words, since it was possible to cooperate, at least the two of them should not be too exclusive, right?

Otherwise, when the time comes, I say this is okay, you say this is not good, you say this is tangible, I don't agree, where can we continue to cooperate?

Since Guan Yanmiao has worked hard for this matter, I think that in terms of the country, it seems that he is also willing to be liked by more people like Chinese painting and traditional Chinese medicine, and inherit it.

Therefore, Lin Ruofeng didn't need to hide it, but after thinking about it carefully, he organized the language and said: "I think there are five reasons for the decline of opera. ”

When Zhao Yikang heard this, he couldn't help but nod slightly, and Chen Kuo, Lin Song, and Gu Shitong also calmed down and listened carefully to Lin Ruofeng's words.

Guan Yanmiao poured Lin Ruofeng a cup of tea next to him and sobered up.

After Lin Ruofeng took a sip of tea, he said: "The first reason is that the skill level and artistic skills of opera artists have weakened, which has triggered a chain reaction. Due to the limitations of ideological and cultural level and artistic creativity, many artists are unable to form an iconic personal artistic style, and cannot better make the opera they perform have a high memory and charm. This pair of audiences, who may not have much knowledge of opera appreciation, has formed a general impression that 'all kinds of opera are almost the same', and today's society that pays so much attention to the value of symbols has no characteristics, and it is absolutely not good. ”

When Lin Ruofeng said the first reason, Zhao Yikang thought about it for a while, looked at Chen Kuo and the others, and nodded in agreement. Chen Kuo and Lin Songdi were a little unconvinced when they heard Lin Ruofeng's first sentence, but they also knew what Zhao Yikang's eyes were, and they also understood that Lin Ruofeng said it very thoroughly.

Yes, because their opera skills are far from reaching the level of Zhao Yikang. And Zhao Yikang, although he is a big horn, but his life's work is also the result of decades of hard work, now there are so many young people, which one can spend so much time and energy to learn such a thing?

In the past, in the golden age of opera, everyone would hum and sing a few words, but today's most famous opera celebrities are no longer the same as those of that era.

Compared with the concerts of those stars, opera can be regarded as shabby.

In this way, the opera also loses its commercial value, resulting in a serious reduction in the economic income of opera artists, except for some national opera actors who can still participate in the opera awards on television, other opera actors are performing while farming to make a living, so the practice time is greatly reduced.

The so-called "one day does not practice to know yourself, two days do not practice peers know, three days do not practice the audience knows", the skills are not refined, that is, the decline has begun.

Seeing that the four of them nodded slightly, Lin Ruofeng took another sip of tea and continued: "The second reason is very simple, the transmission method is too traditional. At present, opera still uses the 'oral transmission and heart-to-heart' model, which contradicts the modernization of contemporary media and social communication methods, and the inheritors of opera are not sufficient in their own promotion methods due to the general environment of contemporary communication trends. ”

When Zhao Yikang heard this, he thought for a while, and finally nodded. And people like Chen Kuo and Lin Song, who learn opera themselves, or love opera, understand Lin Ruofeng's words better.

There is no standardization and systematization in the teaching of modern opera, but only basic artistic introductory skills, and then continuous self-practice. Etiquette, traditional Chinese medicine, clothing, calligraphy, Chinese painting, etc., have long been integrated into the education system, and textbook knowledge has been formed in primary and secondary schools and universities, and systematic and standardized learning has been carried out.

As for the dissemination of artists, there are also problems, although there are videos and so on the Internet, but it is only extensive and scattered promotion, which is not only small in scope, but also cannot make more professionals and enthusiasts pay attention to and study this art.

As for commercial performances, it is only known to people in the "circle", and in addition, how much do outsiders know?

Lin Ruofeng looked at everyone and continued: "The third is the opera itself. Compared with pop songs, the difficulty, perfection and elegance of opera itself make it much more difficult to create new songs. There are no characteristics, and there is no innovation, and if you want to be popular, the difficulty can be imagined. ”

In this way, Zhao Yikang and others naturally have a deep understanding that the things of opera are all stylized and polished bit by bit, and they are all old repertoire when they are sung and sung, so they are naturally tired of listening to them for a long time.

"The fourth is the problem of appreciation, modern forms are rich and diverse, it is no longer the previous era of material and spiritual scarcity, there are better, more intuitive, more refreshing things, people are not willing to spend their brains watching opera, do not know allusions, do not know the tone of singing, can not understand things. ”

Lin Ruofeng said the reason for the latter in one breath: "The last one is the environmental problem, in the past, you had to sing everything during the festival, you sang and I appeared on the stage, but now what about shopping, dinners, KTV, etc., have long been rich and diverse." Moreover, the protection mechanism is not perfect, and which of the other traditional Chinese medicine, etiquette, and so on has not been opened in the university to study and study? How many operas are there? How many experts are there?

Hearing Lin Ruofeng say the five root causes, Zhao Yikang and the others' faces were already extremely pale.

These questions made them feel that it was impossible to restore the glory of opera back then.

Even, it is difficult to say whether opera will survive in the future.

Nowadays, many traditional arts have been lost, could it be that opera is also going to come into the footsteps?

Thinking like this, the hearts of the four of them couldn't help but feel a little cold.
