Chapter Twenty-Eight: Invitation to the Show

Originally, Zhang He didn't have much sense of existence, and he didn't have the idea of being interviewed, but when the group of reporters chatted with the old artists, they knew about Zhang He.

If it weren't for Zhang He's efforts behind the scenes, maybe the old artists still don't know what intangible cultural heritage is.

However, Zhang He is Zhang Delin's grandson, not an ordinary character.

Liu Xingwu secretly laughed on the side, and as soon as he laughed, several other reporters also noticed him.

"Hello, you are Comrade Liu Xingwu of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, what made you take a fancy to the old style at a glance and choose to promote it with Zhang He?" another reporter comrade asked.

interviewed Zhang Delin and several old artists to understand some historical and cultural origins of the old dialect.

Now I want to interview Zhang He and Liu Xingwu to explore the things behind the old inscription.

Although Zhang He and Liu Xingwu didn't want to be interviewed, they still sat upright, saying no, but their bodies were very honest.

"Zhang He and I were high school classmates. Liu Xingwu said with a smile.

"Zhang He came to me before, I haven't heard the old dialect before, I was attracted by the first time I heard it, the old dialect is a shadow puppet play, there was a shadow puppet before, but the performance effect is not good, I proposed to remove the shadow puppet, the old artists promised me, and there is today's old dialect. ”

"Why do you think that after removing the shadow puppetry, the old voice can be brought to life?" the reporters asked.

This can be said to be a bold attempt, no one has done this before, no one has even thought about it like this, Liu Xingwu can think of this, he is also a talent.

"I studied drama in college, and I love theater very much, and when I saw the old artists behind the curtain that day, I felt that the figure is more beautiful than the shadow puppet. Liu Xingwu said slowly.

Reporters are recording information, and the figure is better than the shadow puppet, and this sentence should be emphasized.

"Comrade Zhang He, you haven't answered our question yet?" The reporters did not omit Zhang He.

Zhang He cleared his throat and said: "When I was a child, I just wanted to go to school, go outside to see the big world, and be admitted to university to work, but later my uncle and grandfather died, and I had this idea." ”

The reporters' faces became solemn when they heard this.

"Zhang Dehai is my younger brother, he passed away more than a month ago, and his greatest wish in life is to see the old man become popular, but he didn't see it. Zhang Delin added on the side.

Zhang He continued: "The old style is the precious wealth of our Chinese civilization, and it must be passed on. ”

"May I ask Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the intangible cultural heritage now that Lao Yan has been included in the list of intangible cultural heritage?" the reporters asked.

"Intangible cultural heritage is a merit in the contemporary, benefit in the future, for the benefit of all generations, worthy of the ancestors, worthy of the descendants, if there is no intangible cultural heritage, many folk traditional arts are not valued, maybe it will soon disappear in the society. ”

"What problems do you think the development of the old style is facing now?"

"There are too few people who know, you interviewed us today, you must give us a good publicity. Zhang He said with a smile.

In the past, when he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, no media was willing to interview him, but now after being selected as an intangible cultural heritage, reporters have come over.

Shaanxi TV hasn't come over yet, but it's a matter of time.

Although it has been included in the list of intangible cultural heritage, too few people know about it.

At this time, except for some relevant personnel who will pay special attention to these news, ordinary people will not pay attention to these at all.

For example, the folk legends in those folk literature, everyone has passed them on by word of mouth, and they have become habits, but it is only after the list is announced that this legend actually originated here.

The selection of intangible cultural heritage is not the end, but only the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.

At this time, there are no smartphones, and you can't see something you don't know and search for it on the Internet.

Therefore, the old voice needs to be popularized, so that more people can know the old style, so that it can be promoted, and the most important thing is that only in this way will the audience watch the performance in the future.

If there are only a few people in the audience when acting, it is a failure for an artist.

"The propaganda is for sure, and we will definitely publicize it. The reporters nodded.

"Lao Yan is an art that originated in the Western Han Dynasty, you can take a look, on the high slope behind the village, there is a place called 'Tile Slag Liang', the ground is full of tile fragments left over from the Western Han Dynasty, here used to be a military granary, the old cavity was first sung by Caoyun soldiers and shipwrights, and it has evolved into such a form now. Liu Xingwu began to say that these were all things that he specially searched for and investigated.

"We not only have Huayin old dialects here, but also Huayin drums. Liu Xingwu continued.

This time, Huayin Sugu missed a good opportunity to apply for the World Heritage Site, no one knew, no one declared, and the matter was over.

Liu Xingwu is powerless, he is exhausted from being in charge of an old man, and he really doesn't have the energy to deal with the matter of Huayin Sugu.

Huayin Sugu and Huayin Laohua can be said to be in the same line, both originated from the soldiers stationed in Jingshicang, and can be traced back to the fishing and hunting era of the ancient ancestors.

Liu Xingwu said it at this time, and he was also thinking about whether he could help, the old tone could not be broken, and other traditional cultures could not be broken.

The reporters nodded their heads, not knowing whether they remembered it or not.

"What are you going to do next?" the reporters asked.

In their opinion, the old voice is so popular at this time, they should take the opportunity to arrange a performance as soon as possible, make a lot of money, and talk about it later.

"The next job is to sort out the script, adapt it, and prepare more old-fashioned operas that are suitable for the current society. "Liu Xingwu and the cableway.

Here's what he's going to do next.

"Mr. Zhang, what about you?" the reporters didn't let go.

"Give my grandfather the logistics for them. Zhang He said with a smile.

Now the specific policy has not come out, and he has no specific plans.

"How do you think the old ones need to be protected and passed on?" the reporters asked.

Zhang He thought for a while and said: "Protection is easy to do, inheritance is the most difficult, and no one wants to learn." ”

"Unless you break the rules. Zhang He said.

Saying this, Zhang He glanced at Zhang Delin.

Breaking the rules is the rule of passing on men but not women, and passing on inside and not outside.

If the old man still sticks to this rule, it is really not far from extinction.

Zhang Delin didn't react when he heard this, and his expression was very calm.

After asking some more questions, the reporters also left.

The next day, a visitor suddenly arrived, which surprised Zhang He and Liu Xingwu, the person who came was Wang Zhong of the Huashan Administration, and he also brought a group of people to come over, and the momentum was huge.

"Wang Zhong, why are you here?" Liu Xingwu wondered.

"I'm here to make good on my promise. Wang Zhong said with a smile.

With the papers in his hand, he walked straight into the house.

"This is?" Zhang He looked puzzled.

"Last time, I said that as long as Huayin Laohua is selected as an intangible cultural heritage, the Huashan Administration will definitely welcome your arrival, I have already told our leaders, the leaders have agreed, and our Huashan Administration Bureau hopes to invite old artists to perform in Huashan!" Wang Zhongzhong pleaded.

In the past, he refused because Huayin Lao Yan was not famous, but now in the past few days, Huayin TV has been broadcasting these news in turn from morning to night, and it almost directly connects Huashan and Lao Yan together.

Huashan is the signboard of Huayin, but this one is not enough, there needs to be a cultural signboard, and the old dialect is the best choice.

"Really?" Liu Xingwu looked surprised.

is worthy of being an old classmate, he talks a lot, he thought it was perfunctory, and he came to the door in person.

Hurriedly invited Wang Zhong into the house and sat down, and Zhang Delin and others personally went out to talk to the people of the Huashan Administration.

When it comes to the specific details of commercial performances, Zhang He and Liu Xingwu are both confused, and they have no experience in this area.

Cooperate with Huashan and perform on the stage of Huashan, facing the audience of domestic and foreign tourists, which is the first time for everyone.

"We give the artists money for each show, 300 yuan per game. Wang Zhong smiled.

Zhang Delin and the others all had smiles on their faces.

This price is much higher than their previous singing, three hundred yuan per game, and everyone has dozens of yuan each.

"Lord Delin, what do you think?" asked Liu Xingwu.

"Okay, being able to go to Huashan to sing is something I never thought of in my life. Zhang Delin immediately agreed.

A contract was signed with Wang Zhong, the time of the next performance was agreed, and the comrades of the Huashan Administration also left here.

"Xiao Liu, I will hand over the performance fees in the future to you and Xiao He, remove our salaries, and you can keep the rest of the money and handle it yourself, I will sing operas, I will not care about money, and I will not spend money. Zhang Delin said slowly.

"Master, what do you mean by this, this is all your own money, and it has nothing to do with us. Zhang He hurriedly refused.

Liu Xingwu also refused.

The old artists worked hard to perform on stage to earn this money, and they were embarrassed to stay.

"Don't talk nonsense, the old man wants to develop, he can't do it without money, you think about it, see how to spend this money on the blade, we just sing opera, we just have to sing well. Zhang Delin's expression was serious.

The other artists don't have any opinions.

It's useless to let them hold the money in their hands, it's better to think about how to develop the old style.

"Lord Delin, do you believe me like that?" asked Liu Xingwu.

"I believe in you. Zhang Delin's tone was firm.

Three words, simple.

Liu Xingwu's heart suddenly swelled with emotion.

I haven't been in contact with the old artists for a long time, but I can feel the simplicity of the artists.

They are real peasant artists, rooted in the yellow earth, singing ballads that belong to the peasants.

"Grandfathers, since you believe me, I will definitely do a good job, let's make Huayin old people famous!" Liu Xingwu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice. house
