"Xiaolou, it's not good, look at your blog!"

On the way to the headquarters office of the Voice of Liyuan, Pan Yuzheng watched the downloads of "Ode to Pear Blossom" for a while, which was still rising, and then habitually clicked on Cheng Xiaolou's blog to see how many fans had risen, and suddenly saw dozens of comments criticizing Cheng Xiaolou and "Ode to Pear Blossom" in the blog comment area, and what made Pan Yu most angry was that these comments had more than 1,000 likes and retweets.

"What's wrong, I'll see. ”

Cheng Xiaolou took the phone and looked at it for a while, and his face sank a little.

Pan Yu pointed to the first comment with a solemn face and said in a deep voice: "Look at the first one with the most likes and retweets, "The Art of Peking Opera is being wantonly played with in a way that is spoiled!" The person who posted it is still an officially certified famous drama critic!"

Cheng Xiaolou pursed his lips and nodded, clicked on this post with more than 1,000 retweets and comments, and read it carefully.

After carefully looking at it from the beginning, his face became more and more ugly. The famous drama critic cut in from many angles and belittled "Ode to Pear Blossoms" as useless, saying that he deliberately attracted attention in a way that was flattering, and wantonly played with Peking Opera, an art that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years.

This post closely follows the fact that "Ode to Pear Blossoms" is neither a Peking Opera nor a song, and the drama critic called it the four dissimilarities of not playing and not singing.

After reading this post, Cheng Xiaolou clicked on several other posts with the most retweets and comments and read them in turn.

He found that in addition to the famous drama critic with the most vicious and vicious wording, the other posts were much more subtle in wording, but the criticism between the lines was not inferior.

In addition to these posters scolding Cheng Xiaolou and "Ode to Pear Blossoms", most of the comments under the post are also following the trend and scolding him.

There are even some people who directly asked him to get out of the pear orchard world, believing that his works are tarnishing the noble art of Peking Opera.

Just as Cheng Xiaolou was about to continue to read comments and messages in the future, the phone rang suddenly, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at the caller ID, and found that it was Sydney calling.

"The news spread so fast. ”

Cheng Xiaolou muttered with a wry smile, and as soon as the phone was connected, he heard Sydney anxiously asking on the other end of the phone: "Oh no, many drama critics and playwrights have posted on the Liyuan forum and blog to criticize your "Ode to Pear Blossom", including some famous drama critics and playwrights!"

"I've just seen that some people have redirected the post to the comment section of my blog, it's okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it, I'll call you again when the matter here is settled. ”

After comforting Sydney on the phone, Cheng Xiaolou hung up the phone and followed the most fierce DIs in the comment area to enter the other party's blog homepage.

I don't know if I don't see it, and even he himself can't help but be startled when he looks at it.

The film critic who posted the post titled "Peking Opera Art is being played with in a way that is wantonly played with in a way that is spoiled!", is named Yang Wei, who has more than 7 million followers and is a very famous drama critic in the pear orchard industry.

The other people who bounced him were not unknowns, and all of them had more than one million followers.

Among the many people who criticized him, there is even an old playwright who is highly respected in the pear orchard world, although this person has not created a few very popular plays, but his generation and age even many top plays in China have to be politely honored by the younger generation.

"Jiu'er, I guess someone must have been blushing and you suddenly became popular, so you deliberately played a trick behind your back! No one scolded you in the morning, no one scolded in the evening, so many drama critics and playwrights suddenly came out at the same time, this is too coincidental. ”

Pan Yu angrily touched the face tattoo on the top of his head, and scolded in a low voice through gritted teeth.

"It doesn't matter if there is someone behind the scenes, it will come sooner or later, sixth brother, do you remember that I went to the Royal Peking Opera University to take the special entrance exam, that time "Ode to Pear Blossoms" was criticized by some examiners on the spot as a display repertoire for the third round of exams, and how could no one jump out to criticize and accuse this play when it was officially launched. ”

Cheng Xiaolou took a breath lightly, exited the blog, handed the mobile phone to Pan Yu, rubbed his temples with a headache, and continued: "It's just that those sunspots jumped out too early, which was a bit unexpected to me." ”

"Ode to Pear Blossom" is a typical Beijing song work, which is a new form of artistic expression that has never appeared before in this world.

The birth of any kind of new art will be questioned and criticized in the early stage, which is a practice that cannot be shaken.

Just like at the beginning of the birth of Peking Opera, it was also scolded by many people for being worthless and useless.

The Peking Song is a song with elements of Peking Opera music, which is an attempt to improve and innovate Peking Opera, and it is also an enrichment and enrichment of modern songs.

Compared with the serious Peking Opera, Peking Opera is actually more in line with the aesthetics of the younger generation, and it will be more widely sung.

The reason why Cheng Xiaolou took the Beijing song "Ode to Pear Blossoms" as the first work to officially enter the pear orchard industry in China was actually deliberate, and it was not surprising that it was questioned and criticized.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Pan Yu raised his wrist and glanced at the time, and found that it was almost fifty, and there were less than forty minutes left before the appointment with Qin Muyun, the director of the operation department of the Voice of Liyuan, at this time, he was most worried that Qin Muyun had also seen those posts on the Internet that criticized Cheng Xiaolou and "Ode to Pear Blossom", and was afraid that he would change his mind temporarily.

"Now that something has happened, it's useless for us to be anxious at this moment, just let it be, I also want to see what attitude the circle and outside the circle have towards the innovation and development of Peking Opera. ”

Cheng Xiaolou thought about it seriously and decided to do nothing for the time being, and be a quiet bystander.

From another point of view, at this time, it is not necessarily a bad thing for someone to jump out and criticize him, perhaps the more fierce the scolding, the more profound the impression he and "Ode to Pear Blossom" will leave on everyone.

"Liyuan Xing is not the domain of so-called drama critics and individual old-timers, thousands of theater fans are the real masters in this circle. Sixth brother, do you see if the number of downloads of "Ode to Pear Blossoms" on the Voice of Pear Garden continues to rise?"

In less than 24 hours, the number of downloads exceeded the 5 million mark, once again refreshing the record of the Voice of Liyuan newcomer list.

In fact, this already shows the fans' love for the work "Ode to Pear Blossoms", is it really important for those famous drama critics and individual Liyuan seniors to criticize and question?

Any art form, any work, will eventually be market-oriented and audience-oriented.

The market and the audience are actually the real touchstones.

All works and art forms that have been abandoned by the market and the audience are no longer in line with the current trend and aesthetics, and can only be gradually submerged in the torrent of history.

For example, the dragon dance and lion dance that were once all the rage originated from the iron flower of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Even Tang and Song poems, how many people are continuing to create now?

All we can do is learn, memorize, and pass on.

The poetry has developed from "Guan Guan Ju Dove in the River Continent", to "the bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground", and then to "the great river east goes to the waves, and the romantic characters through the ages", and has been inherited to the present day has become "I am gone gently, just as I came gently". Isn't this a kind of inheritance, an innovation, a kind of change that conforms to the trajectory of historical development and conforms to contemporary aesthetics?

In Cheng Xiaolou's view, the same is true of Peking Opera art, which also needs innovation, development, and inheritance!
