Chapter 84 Preparing for the Spring Festival Gala
At present, in China, the most representative of Huayin's old style is Zhang Delin's troupe, in addition, Zhang Yusheng's troupe is counted as one team, and the one in the Guanzhong Folk Art Museum is counted as another class.
Although everyone is scattered, they are all moving forward for the same goal, and they will completely spread the old dialect and pass it on.
It doesn't matter who goes to the movie, everyone doesn't care.
Zhang Delin can make movies, and everyone feels honored.
Liu Xingwu arranged schedules for the old artists and prepared to participate in the filming of the movie.
After the performance of Huayin Laohua in Beijing, more and more places invited to perform, although with the economic development, the cost of the performance is also rising, but in the face of the high cost of the Laoyang Protection Center, the funds are also stretched.
There is no funding for the administrative performances arranged by the higher authorities, and the center is responsible for all expenses.
The performance fee must be given, and it cannot be withheld.
Nowadays, the farmland in Hugou Village has been centrally transferred and planted with lotus vegetables, and a circulation fee of 500 yuan per mu of land is given a year, and an increase of 60 yuan per ten years.
Although there is no need to farm, everyone still has to eat, these things cost money, and prices continue to rise, and many people in the village go out to work to earn money.
If the old artists are not given performance fees because it is an administrative performance, then the old artists will not be able to continue singing.
There will always be a day when artists can't sing when they get old, and at that time, everyone can't make money, so what should they do when the time comes.
Liu Xingwu can only do his best to help the elderly, and other things can only wait for the state to pay attention to them, and the policy can help the inheritors of these traditional crafts.
The film soon began to shoot, Liu Xingwu led the team, and the veteran artists went to participate in the filming work, which was not long, only a few days.
When I came back, I started to work on the show again.
The veteran artists are getting busier and busier, running around the country, performing the old style, and touring the country with the drama.
Just after the end of the year, a phone call from the Huayin Municipal Bureau of Culture came.
"Feng Ju, what's wrong?" Liu Xingwu said curiously.
"In accordance with the requirements of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala crew, the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee wants to prepare a program, hand-picking our Huayin Laohua as the representative of Shaanxi, ready to compete for the qualification of the Spring Festival Gala. Feng Hao said slowly.
When Liu Xingwu heard this, his face immediately froze.
"Preparing for the Spring Festival Gala?" Liu Xingwu said in surprise.
"That's right, this is required by the higher authorities, you are ready to prepare, and when the time comes, you will go directly to the provincial TV station to rehearse the program. Feng Hao's tone was serious.
The Spring Festival Gala has a limited time and limited programs, and each program is carefully selected, which can be called one in a million.
Being able to go to the Spring Festival Gala represents recognition and is well-known by the people of the whole country!
Huayin's old voice actually wants to go to the Spring Festival Gala, even if it is just to participate in it, participate in the competition and start competing, which is also amazing.
After talking to Feng Hao, Liu Xingwu didn't sleep all night.
In addition to some programs that invite performances, if you want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, you have to compete with other programs on this platform through the platform of "Direct to the Spring Festival Gala", and those who stand at the end will have the opportunity to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
On behalf of Shaanxi to participate, Huayin Laohua wants to participate in the provincial and municipal program competition.
In the office, Liu Xingwu pondered and pondered, preparing for the show he would participate in.
If you want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, you can't take out those programs that have been performed before, but you must have new programs, and more importantly, it must be in line with the theme of the Spring Festival Gala.
Just thinking about it, Liu Xingwu didn't have a clue.
When the time came, the car of the Cultural Affairs Bureau drove directly over and pulled the veteran artists to prepare to go to Xi'an.
With the furniture that has been with him for many years, Zhang Delin and a group of old people walked into the bus.
"Grandpa, we are also people who have seen big scenes, we go to Shaanxi TV this time, we must perform well and strive to win this opportunity. Sitting in the car, Liu Xingwu encouraged everyone.
"We couldn't have imagined the Spring Festival Gala before, but we must seize this opportunity this time. Zhang Delin said with a smile.
The old artists were very happy when they learned the news, and agreed to come down without saying a word, and the stage performance of the Spring Festival Gala is the dream of every artist.
When the group came to the provincial TV station, the leaders of the TV station personally went out to greet the old artists.
This time it is not only Huayin Laohua who was invited, but also the intangible cultural heritage of all parts of Shaanxi, everyone prepares the program together, competes for opportunities together, and in the end, no matter who is on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it can play a role in propaganda for Shaanxi.
It was none other than Wu Yue, the director of the previous "Qin Shengguang", who prepared the preparations for the Shaanxi program.
The preparation of this program is the top priority, and the TV station temporarily transferred Wu Yue, an old-timer, to take on the important task.
Everyone sat in the conference room.
Wu Yue said slowly: "I want to tell you first of all, although you have all come here and hope to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but in the end, not all of us can go up, everyone must be mentally prepared." ”
On the side, there are also artists with Ansai waist drums in northern Shaanxi, artists with Han tunes in southern Shaanxi, and artists on stilts in Baoji.
The Provincial Television Station contacted the local cultural bureaus to select programs, and finally selected some programs that could represent Shaanxi's characteristics.
Among all the artists, Huayin is currently the most popular because of the east wind of the drama directed by Chen Yixia.
Each intangible cultural heritage is facing a different dilemma, and Huayin's old dialect can come to this point, which can be regarded as a good life among many operas.
"Director Wu, we are mentally prepared for this. Liu Xingwu said slowly.
"It's good to have this preparation, but don't worry, if the Central Spring Festival Gala doesn't want you, our own Spring Festival Gala in Shaanxi won't want you. Wu Yue smiled and said.
Everyone laughed.
The Shaanxi Spring Festival Gala is its own, and the requirements will be relatively low, so it is certain that it will go up.
"If you have any good ideas, let's communicate first. Wu Yue said.
Each group has its own opinions, and everyone wants to show their good side.
Everyone has been on stage, has acted, has stage experience, and knows what kind of show to prepare.
After everyone finished discussing, Wu Yue said slowly: "Everyone's opinions are very useful, and we will start preparing for the show now." ”
The program is finally decided by the TV station, and the old artists can't come casually.
For several days in a row, everyone met together for meetings and stayed up all night to prepare for the program.
Huayin old style is now the most popular quyi, and it is reasonable to reason that this performance should be based on Huayin old art, and other quyi will be used as a foil.
It's not who is high and who is low, it's just that this is more hopeful to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
A few days later, a lyric came out on the TV station.
"This is our new lyrics for you, you see, we're going to sing this on the show. Wu Yue handed a piece of paper to Liu Xingwu.
When I took it in my hand, I saw that the lyrics in it were really newly written, which was very in line with the characteristics of the old dialect, and the person who could write the lyrics obviously knew the old dialect very well.
"Director Wu, this word is much better than we thought before. Liu Xingwu said excitedly.
The traditional repertoire is suitable for private performances, not for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and the song prepared by the TV station is really practical.
passed the lyrics to the old artists, and everyone nodded again and again.
"This word is well written, it can not only show the characteristics of our Shaanxi, but also connect with the development of the country, and it is also lively!" Zhang Delin said with a smile.
It's okay to let them write some traditional lyrics and songs, but they really can't write this.
Professional things are left to professional people to do, improve efficiency and save time.
"Then we will start composing music, and in this performance, I want to combine bamboo horse stilts and Ansai waist drums and some other music skills and old dialects to perform, I hope everyone can cooperate. Wu Yue smiled.
With the lyrics, everything is easy.
Many of the tunes of traditional quyi are readily available and can be used directly.
As soon as the music was composed, everyone began rehearsals.
Provincial TV program rehearsal room.
The veteran artists sit in the middle, flanked by the artists of the Ansai waist drum and the artists of bamboo horse stilts.
"The first rehearsal, let's go through it first. Wu Yue stood in front of the stage and commanded. 、
Liu Xingwu also stood aside and gave instructions to the veteran artists.
"Begin!" Wu Yue ordered.
Zhang Delin, who was sitting in the center of the stage, stood up from the bench, held the Yueqin in his hand, and said with a happy face: "Guys!"
"Hey!" shouted the surrounding artists.
"Dumplings drink wine, let's go!"
"Hi...... Hey!" everyone said in unison.
A gong sounded suddenly.
On the stage, everyone danced happily.
"Wait!" Wu Yue immediately shouted.
Everyone stopped.
"Lord Delin, when you say this, you have to smile a little brighter, the other actors are also me, our show is going to be performed in the Spring Festival Gala, it's the New Year, don't frown. Wu Yue reminded.
"Do it again!" Wu Yue shouted.
Zhang Delin returned to his seat and repeated the performance just now.
It is the first time for everyone to integrate many arts such as Ansai waist drum and bamboo horse stilts with Huayin's old dialect.
Create experience without experience, Wu Yue also went into battle hard.
In front of the same goal, everyone is very attentive to the performance, and strives to rehearse the show well.
"Twist Yangge, make a social fire, and the days will become more and more prosperous!"
"Suona blows the face of the sun, gongs and drums beat the moon, the hometown of the dragon, the dream of the dragon, and the rise of a great country is in front of you!"
On the stage, all the actors shouted in unison.
In the midst of the excitement, the rehearsals that lasted for many days also came to an end.
"Tomorrow we are going to compete on the stage, are you ready?" Wu Yue asked loudly.
"Ready!" the crowd laughed in tongues.
Although everyone was tired from the rehearsals for days, they had gained something.
Several different music arts were fused together, and they were able to perform on the big stage.
