Yang Chenglin's invitation was not only official business, but it was more like a private banquet, Yang Chenglin also called his wife, while Zhou Kunlin had other things to do.

Yang Chenglin's wife, Zhou Yun, is a national first-class dancer, of course, she doesn't perform much on stage now, and is currently a teacher at the Pujiang Conservatory of Music, a professor, and a special member of the city song and dance troupe, occasionally making guest appearances.

"The state has always emphasized the construction of spiritual civilization and requires both hands to be hard, but now everyone is focusing more on the economy and less on the construction of spiritual civilization, and the theatrical performance market is becoming more and more sluggish, especially young people like you, there are too few people who are willing to go into the theater and sit down to watch a performance quietly!" Zhou Yun said with a slight smile during the meal.

Except that at the beginning, Yang Chenglin welcomed the investment of Fangxia Group in Pujiang City and expressed his attitude, and after expressing his attitude, everyone did not talk about work matters again. Yang Chenglin also knows very well that there is Bao Feiyang in Pujiang, and Fangxia Group's investment in Pujiang City is indispensable, and there is no need for him to talk to Meng Shuang about investment, even if he talks about it, it may not be useful, if he really wants to talk about it, it is better to talk to Bao Feiyang directly.

Meng Shuang glanced at Bao Feiyang, nodded and said: "What Aunt Yun said is that I don't have much time with Feiyang, this time I came to Pujiang, and I wanted to find him to go out and sit several times, but he didn't have time!"

"Feiyang, I'm going to criticize you for this, work is important, and the people's affairs must be taken to heart, but you can't ignore the family, Meng Shuang used to be in the field, and it doesn't matter if you can't leave, now that Meng Shuang is in Pujiang, you have to find time to spend more time with her, and you have to trust our other cadres more in work! You can't even spare time to watch a performance, and Comrade Genzheng wants to criticize me for putting too much pressure on your work!" Yang Chenglin said with a smile.

Bao Feiyang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not just that I'm busy, she's also busy during this time, it's not that Fangxia Group is going to do a big job in Pujiang City, Meng Shuang is in charge of the initial things, and there are indeed more things." Now Pujiang's team is almost in place, and the company has also poached a general manager from 3M, and she has gradually withdrawn from specific affairs, but this general manager has just taken office for less than three days, and she has not been free at this time!

Bao Feiyang turned his head to Zhou Yun and said: "I have seen Aunt Yun's performance on TV, it is definitely everyone's work on behalf of the national style, but unfortunately now it is rare to have the opportunity to see Aunt Yun's performance with my own eyes, but the level of the Pujiang Song and Dance Troupe is also national-level, and we must accept the edification if we have the opportunity." ”

Zhou Yun smiled and shook his head, then reached out and took out two tickets from his handbag: "I was about to invite you to come to the show, next week's Huari Cultural Week, there will be a performance by the City Song and Dance Troupe, I will probably make a cameo appearance, if you are free at that time, you are welcome to come, if there is something, it doesn't matter, but these two tickets can't be wasted, when there is an empty seat in the front row, your Aunt Yun will be very faceless!"

Zhou Yun's body can't see the arrogance and reserve of the mayor's wife at all, her voice is soft and her temperament is elegant, in Meng Shuang's words, that is the image of a woman dreaming of when she reaches the age of fifty. Generally speaking, after a woman reaches the age of forty, she will appear older than a man, but this is not seen at all in Zhou Yun's body, she looks like a noble lady who is still charming, about thirty or forty years old, but Yang Chenglin has been in a high position for a long time, not angry and arrogant, and looks like a high-ranking official leader about fifty years old!

"Aunt Yun, don't worry, we will definitely go when the time comes, as long as the mayor doesn't ......talk to me at that time," Bao Feiyang said with a smile.

Zhou Yun glanced at Yang Chenglin: "He dares?"

Everyone talked and laughed a few words, and talked about the current situation of the theatrical performance market. In the 20 years since the country's reform and opening up, domestic reforms have been continuously advancing in depth and in different fields, and the art troupe is no exception.

Before the reform and opening up, the whole of China could be said to be a large unit, the state was the head office, and then the government below was the branch, and there were various branches under the government. For example, local song and dance troupes and theater troupes are all units under the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and all kinds of performances are also planned, and the performances are also considered by political requirements, not market requirements.

After the reform and opening up, with the deepening of the reform and the transformation of the state system, all fields are changing and changing, and the field of literature and art is no exception.

On the one hand, after the reform and opening up, economic construction has become the center, everyone is busy making money, and the work pressure is greater than before. Coupled with the rise of various cultural forms, especially the development of television and film industry, the people's choice of cultural life has increased, which has caused the stage art to fall into the predicament of a weak market, and the audience is getting smaller and smaller.

On the other hand, with the abolition of the planning system, the government also began the reform of art troupes, which was roughly the same as the reform path of state-owned enterprises, but at a slower pace. The core of the reform of the art troupe is also decentralization, from the collective management of self-responsibility for profits and losses, to the reform of the contract system, according to different forms of literature and art and the characteristics of the troupe, in the management mode gradually adopted the paid contract system, the music director system, the director center system, the role manager system, the full appointment system, and so on.

It's just that after the reform, although the development of the art troupe was more dynamic than in the early stage of the reform and opening up, and it was difficult to overcome the difficulties of the transitional period, the performance market was far from prosperous, and it could even be said that it was very cold. Except for some famous actors and special types of performances that can have a considerable attendance rate, many newcomers do not have the opportunity to perform at all, and the number of performances is also very limited.

"In the new era of market economy in the performance arts, what needs to be changed is not only the management model, but also our concept of this art......"

Bao Feiyang said: "In the past, our concept was that art should serve the masses and let the general public enjoy the best artistic performances, but in fact this is impossible, how many ordinary people can enjoy opera and ballet?"

"In fact, compared with the past, whether it is in artistic creation or cultural performances, it is now more active than before, with more performances and more audiences, the reason why Aunt Yun feels that the current market is not good, and the theater group is difficult to operate, the key is that the environment is different, there was no need to consider ticket income before, and now we must consider that the type of cultural consumption was relatively small in the past, and everyone's situation is similar, but now it is different, not to mention that TV has entered thousands of households, TV dramas, The influence of TV programs is getting bigger and bigger, and the film market is also bigger, there are several popular films that make people pass on the word of mouth every year, folk popular song and dance performances, concerts of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and even sports league competitions are very popular, compared to theatrical stage performances are much more deserted!"

Bao Feiyang said: "This is also determined by the characteristics of stage performance art, stage performances are not like TV and movies that can be preserved through images, facing audiences across the country, like sports leagues also have live TV, concert stars have become household names through TV and radio, and stage performances can only face those audiences under the stage, even if every show is full, how many people can there be?"

"Modern society is characterized by globalization, the information explosion, people accept all kinds of information, accept information from all over the world, and many things will be drowned in the ocean of information. People's energy and attention are limited, when people accept the impact of so much information, he will ignore a lot of things, and the things he ignores are often around, because people are conformist, so they like to pay attention to those things that more people know and are more topical, so in this regard, there is no way to compare stage performing arts with television and movies, and the media will pay more attention to and publicize those things that can be paid attention to and discussed by more people, which is also the characteristic of this society. ”

Bao Feiyang said: "I think some of the practices of the Municipal Repertory Theatre are also very good, they allow some actors in the troupe to participate in the performance of TV dramas, to the TV station as guests, as hosts, when they become famous, and then perform on the stage, there will be more audiences!"

Talking about the current situation of stage performance art, Zhou Yun, a professor at the Conservatory of Music, seems to be working on this topic, and he wants to know the views of young people like Bao Feiyang and Meng Shuang on stage performance, so Bao Feiyang said a few more words.

Zhou Yun was very interested in what Bao Feiyang said: "I have also learned a little about the situation of the Municipal Repertory Theatre, and there are indeed several star-level characters on their side, but among the few people who are really famous at present, only two of them still have a relationship with the Repertory Troupe, and the others have jumped ship and left!"

Zhou Yun shook his head and said: "Even if the two who stayed, one became the host and the other starred in a TV sitcom, they are usually very busy, and they can occasionally perform on the stage a few times, and the impact on the performance market of the repertory troupe is also very small." ”

Bao Feiyang nodded: "This is also normal, after all, in terms of income, there is still no way to compare stage actors and film and television stars." Even if these stars come back three or five times a year to make cameo appearances, and the number of people will increase, the troupe can create a few star performances......"

In Bao Feiyang's impression, theatrical performances will naturally not be able to compete with film and television dramas in the future, but the performance market in first- and second-tier cities must not be said to be very deserted, but the level is very clear.
