Chapter 531: In Business
"Do you want to do Peking Opera?"
Guo Dalu sat next to Li Jiusan, crossed Erlang's legs, took out a cigar from his arms and handed it to Li Jiusan, "Get one?"
Sitting next to Li Jiusan was Guo Kaiming, and when he saw Guo Dalu's appearance like this, he glared at Guo Dalu fiercely, "What does it look like!"
Li Jiusan took the cigarette roll handed by Guo Dalu, waved his hand to Guo Kaiming, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I like the coolness of this kid Dalu!"
He brought the cigarette to the tip of his nose and sniffed, "Cuban handmade cigars?
The old man looked at Guo Dalu, "How is it? Do you know anything about opera? Oh, I remember, your mother seems to be an actor of the Baolan City Drama Troupe, you kid must have been exposed to opera since childhood! This time I will give you a task, many operas in our country are costume dramas, and there is a lack of some excellent modern operas, and now that the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is coming, the Peking Opera creative team of our country is preparing to create a modern Peking Opera with commemorative significance. I read the books they wrote, and I wasn't very satisfied. Da Lu, you kid has a flexible mind, you can even write dramas, and opera should no longer be a problem, right?"
Guo Dalu was slightly disappointed, "Modern opera? I thought you wanted me to do ancient opera." If you ask me to do ancient dramas, I have a play about Hai Jui's dismissal, which is very exciting......"
"Go aside!"
Guo Kaiming reprimanded Guo Dalu in a low voice beside him, "You know how to play tricks!"
Li Jiusan smiled and said: "Hai Jui's dismissal? That was in the feudal dynasty, Hai Jui's ambition is difficult to reach, so he will be dismissed, and now that the country is peaceful and generally good, what is there to dismiss from office?"
He glanced at Guo Dalu with a funny face, "Boy, why do I think you have something to say?"
Guo Dalu's face was straight, "Report the first palm, absolutely not!"
Li Jiusan: "...... The more funny you are, the more problematic you are!"
Guo Dalu laughed a few times, which was a default.
The old men next to him all looked at Guo Dalu with amusement and didn't speak.
Guo Dalu is now in their hearts, he is already the No. 1 Demon King of the Mixed World, and several old people do not come to mix with the dialogue between Li Jiusan and Guo Dalu, but they are also curious about what Guo Dalu will do.
"Then it's settled!"
Li Jiusan said: "Tomorrow, I will ask the compilation team of the Peking Opera Troupe to come to you, and you will discuss it together to see how to do it? It is best to come up with a high-quality model, this is a new country, and you can't watch the old drama all at once!"
He patted Guo Dalu on the shoulder, "You are the leader of the compilation team this time, this task is all entrusted to you! But when rehearsing, don't say anything, you must respect those opera artists, and don't be rude to them!"
Peking Opera is revered as the quintessence of the country, and the Chinese Peking Opera Troupe, also known as the Royal Orchestra, has been extremely concerned about the cause of Peking Opera, and is very familiar with most of the famous actors in the Peking Opera Troupe, as well as some traditional repertoire.
To do this, it is long past the time to listen to pop songs, and the literary performances that you usually enjoy are either opera or dance, or drama, occasionally mixed with a few cross talk sketches.
However, the most watched opera is still opera, and among the operas, the most watched is Peking Opera.
It has been 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but many Peking Opera are traditional singing segments, although it looks very tasteful, but it can't help but feel a little stuck. In the past, several famous Peking Opera guys and the same group of authors have created several modern plays, and the response has been good, but on the whole there is still a lack of innovation.
Li Jiusan is very familiar with the field of literary and artistic propaganda, whether it is film and television works or operas and other genres, he has a deep attainment, and now he sees that Peking Opera is a bit downhill, so he wants to support it.
Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country, so how can it be allowed to decline? Therefore, a group of literary and art workers have recently been organized to cooperate with Peking Opera masters to carry out innovative work. Li Jiusan's move was unanimously agreed by the other eight bosses, and everyone felt that today's Peking Opera lacked the high morale of the new era and was not quite in line with today's national culture.
Li Jiusan told Guo Dalu about this today, not because he was temporary, but because he had two purposes, one was to really value Guo Dalu's creative ability in literature, but more importantly, he wanted to find something to tie Guo Dalu.
During this time, Guo Dalu was too noisy, and several bigwigs felt a headache, but Guo Dalu couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him, and after thinking about it, Li Jiusan came up with a solution.
Now it happens that the Peking Opera compilation group has just been established, and there is only one deputy leader in the temporary coordination, and the leader of the group was originally going to be sent from the Ministry of Culture, but after thinking of Guo Dalu, this leader was assigned to Guo Dalu by Li Jiusan.
When writing lyrics, we must pay attention to the cooperation between language and band, and every word and sentence must be carefully pondered and tested.
In the ordinary creation of opera, the writers and the drama masters discussed and revised it, and after each short paragraph was written, the drama actors had to sing it again to see the effect. This iterative revision is extremely time-consuming.
In Li Jiusan's view, as long as Guo Dalu is willing to join the compilation team, if he wants to create an opera of acceptable quality, he will not have a year and a half, so he should not think about it.
You must know that many operas have been polished countless times before they are put on the opera stage, and even after they are put on the stage, they will continue to be revised until they can not be corrected. And with Guo Dalu's temperament, as long as he is willing to take over this stall, he will definitely be perfect, otherwise where will he put the face of this great master?
However, if Guo Dalu wants to write opera lyrics well, he must have a basic understanding of opera, and even be proficient in it, in order to write the lyrics well. Many opera actors have been acting all their lives, but they are not enough to sell, and no matter how smart Guo Dalu is, if he wants to understand Peking Opera, it will take several years.
With a few years of excesses, with the growth of age and the edification of opera culture, I believe that Guo Dalu's temperament should also be much calmer, whether it is for the cultural world or the country, it is a good thing, and a few old people can stop for a few days.
"No problem!"
Seeing that Li Jiusan gave him a task, Guo Dalu patted his chest unequivocally, "Isn't it Peking Opera? Whether it's singing lyrics or soundtrack, I can get it for you, but what, we're talking about business——"
Guo Dalu looked at Li Jiusan, "How much money do you give?"
