Chapter 152 Good is also sad, bad is also sad

In the 21st century, when modern Western pop music and Western music are rampant, opera has been forgotten for a long time, especially for young people, and it represents a feudal backwardness and very old-fashioned thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But today seems to be different, the first small number of people in Hangzhou who were moved by the title of the new type of opera, with the various newspapers and TV news reports in the past few days, once again have a strong interest in opera.

Mr. Wu Xun's matter began with the slander at the beginning, the subsequent clarifications, statements, and the support of various university organizations to publicize Mr. Wu Xun's deeds, so that this name, which had been forgotten for 50 years, reappeared in the public eye.

At the same time, some of the 'good deeds' also released various gossip, closely linking the popularity caused by Mr. Wu Xun this time with the Yue opera "The Legend of Wu Xun", although the fact is that it is a problem caused by the opera "The Legend of Wu Xun", but after Mr. Qi Gong intervened, it became another high level of problem, in fact, it has been separated from the opera problem.

However, with the spread of the news of the 'good deeds', the name of the Yue opera "Wu Xun Chuan" and various gossip quickly spread among the people, and it also spread to the areas around Jiangsu and Zhejiang that were once active in Yue opera, and even the pearl was affected.

Yue Opera has once again become a hot topic, the number of tickets for the Baihua Yue Opera Troupe has reached a number that has never been imagined in these years, and the venue of the performance has been specially moved to the largest gymnasium in Hangzhou, which can fill 5,000 spectators without affecting the performance effect, and the tickets have been booked for a month later.

Over the years, in addition to some big horns in the capital that may reach more than 3,000 spectators, there have been few big scenes in the Liyuan industry that have reached more than 5,000 people.

For a time, most of the troupe directors flew to Hangzhou in person to ask Mao Weitao, Liu Yunqing and others for advice on what they did.

At the same time, a few years ago, the grass stage team and private troupes that closed down in various parts of the Yangtze River also came to 'learn from the experience', which made Liu Yunqing feel as if he was busier than the cadres, receiving all kinds of peers every day.

But he had never been so proud.

The Hundred Flowers Troupe can reach more than 160 actors counting supernumerary personnel, and during this time, due to the filming being too full, it was divided into two teams and took turns to fight, otherwise the actors' voices would be ruined.

But the protagonist's problem is more difficult, Mao Weitao was ready to let Wang Yao lead a team by himself, but He Saifei refused, "Xu Lao won't let him sing now." ”

Mao Weitao thought about it, and finally contacted a senior brother in the industry to save the scene, and several old actors came to save the scene together.

"The Legend of Wu Xun" is still a new play, and the style of the drama has just matured, but it has not yet reached the level of a certain 'faction', so as long as it is an opera actor with good kung fu, he can take the lead alone, and whether the audience will buy it or not is another matter for a while.

Because the current audience is not here for the corner, but for the play, there is no deception of the audience.

Moreover, a variety of styles can make some audiences who have watched it accurately feel the difference in the performance style of each actor, which is also the subtlety of opera.

Unlike songs, although songs also have requirements for the recognition of singers, after all, it is only an auditory enjoyment, but opera also has visual enjoyment, such differentiation and diversification can meet the different needs of many people, and then cultivate a loyal audience of a certain 'faction'.

is like the four famous Dans of Peking Opera, Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, Xun Huisheng, the audience will go to them at that time, not to the play, so the pear orchard line has a saying that one corner feeds a team.

But after all, it is in short supply, I was worried when I didn't sing before, but now it's popular all of a sudden, and I'm also sad if I can't sing, Master Xu Yulan and several old people are happy and sad, and they can see such a grand occasion of Yue Opera in their lifetime, and they can be regarded as dead without regrets, but they are a little worried, and the grand occasion is a mirage, passing by the clouds.

"These things are not something that you should worry about, you should focus on leaving a tradition for future generations, these idle things, don't you have me. Wang Yao smiled and distributed souvenirs brought back from Baodao to several uncles and aunts.

"This is not an idle matter, this is a big event, and I finally saw some sweetness, for fear of dying. Master Xu Yulan smiled and said, "This dessert is from Treasure Island?"

"Well, I heard that it's quite famous, I haven't eaten it, you can taste it, if it's delicious, I'll ask my friends to bring it back next time." Wang Yao sat on the sofa and said with a smile.

For the sake of the safety of several masters, Liu Yunqing spent money to rent an office as a base, and the decoration was the same as a conference room.

"Boy, you're a celebrity in the industry now, and a few old gentlemen are eyeing you. Master Chen Peiqing said with a smile.

Master Chen Peiqing is a Yue Opera actor from a professional class, a representative of the second generation of Yue Opera, and the founder of the Chen School, and is currently the speaker of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Opera Association.

"Is it me? or Wang Gu?" Wang Yao asked cautiously, stunned.

"Wang Gu. Chen Peiqing glanced at Wang Yao and said with a smile.

Wang Yao touched his nose, "It's convenient to inquire, why are they looking for me?"

"Research and study, how to go on the road of this new Yue Opera. Chen Peiqing said with a smile.

"You see I haven't taken this step yet, I have to come a little bit. Wang Yao smiled: "Let's solve the matter in front of us first." ”

"Have you noticed?" asked Jin Caifeng.

"Yes. Wang Yao nodded, "I came out of Captain Liu just now, and I saw a room of people, all of whom were the same age as Senior Sister Mao and them, and they were also the same generation as me, all of whom used to sing and then broke up in a recession, I thought, if I don't integrate it, I will perform with the big troupe in the future." ”

"What's the way to do it together?" Master Campbell raised his eyebrows slightly, "I used to be in the top team, to be honest, the good and the bad are mixed, and most of them are self-taught and self-reliant, which is not easy to manage." ”

"Didn't think about management. Wang Yao smiled, "Right now, even if we sing three times a night, it will take a week to finish all the tickets sold, and there is a long queue for this ticket booking, I think we should digest it as soon as possible, take advantage of this enthusiasm, and vigorously promote it, it is best to sing ten stations a day." ”

Everyone was shocked, and they all frowned, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were all performing in the establishment, and at that time they required excellence, Wang Yao's approach was indeed a bit like when the Hui class entered Beijing in the early years, from the palace fire to the people, a large number of opera troupes directly changed their careers to sing Peking Opera, what they sang in the palace, what they sang, to fool the people.

According to their ideas, it's a little disrespectful to art.

"Not so well. Xu Yulan frowned and said.

"I know what you're worried about, but don't forget, they're here to see the drama now, not the Yue Opera. Wang Yao smiled, "I wrote this play, and I took the stage after four days of rehearsal. ”

"Good. Jin Caifeng and the others nodded, "But the people in our troupe know the roots, and the people outside are not necessarily." ”

"Actually, I think the folk grass stage team may have more basic skills than us, and they may know better what the audience is watching, we used to sing elegantly, but my play, the compilation is vulgar, but it is not vulgar, it is popular, I think, if you want to develop now, you have to go to popular. Wang Yao smiled and said, "What do you think?"

A few masters, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Chen Peiqing spoke as the current official, "As long as you don't make this book vulgar, let it go, we have to protect this book, Xiaoyao, you have to remember this, it's not kitsch." ”

Wang Yao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, now kitsch is also spurned by the common people, and my play is written for young people, just to let them experience our good thing, not deep or shallow, just right." ”

"So you're going to get these folk artists together and make a group?" asked Xu Yulan.

"Temporary, after all, they are also peers, if they can survive by singing, it is better than begging for a living, and this opera person is the backbone of the development of our Yue Opera, and cultivating a mature actor for at least ten years, you also know it. Wang Yao grinned, "When the past ten years have passed, the teaching videos you are recording now will teach a group of more professional and excellent actors, and if you are lucky, the opera will be able to support itself and survive." ”

"That makes sense. Jin Caifeng nodded and said with a smile, "We are old and can't keep up with the times, so we have only one ability left, and if we can do something for Yue Opera, you can instruct us." ”

"Don't dare to say that. Wang Yao hurriedly said, "As the saying goes, there is an old man in the Taoist family, if there is a treasure, a few of you are worth thousands of troops." ”

"Hehe, this little mouth, you can really say. Chen Peiqing smiled and shook her head, "I really don't want Xu Feng to teach it at all." ”

"Xu Feng is lucky. Xu Yulan smiled, "By the way, the uncles recorded a "Liang Zhu" a few days ago, you have time to take a look, and this." ”

Xu Yulan said and took out a card and handed it to Wang Yao.
