Provincial special recruitment, that is, the Education Bureau commonly known as the competition for talents, from a provincial college entrance examination candidates to choose a suitable student to recruit the entry, especially art colleges, this kind of quota is very precious.

Cultivating an excellent talent not only wins glory for the school, but also can pass on the culture in their hands.

Ishura raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Wang Yao with some emotion, for this kid, the old principal is really willing to spend his blood, although Wang Yao has good qualifications, but he is not a genius at the demon level, it is good to be a favor, "Okay, but Wang Yao still belongs to our class." ”

Xu Feng nodded, "Is there anything else?"

"No, it's for this kid. Ishura pointed at Wang Yao and smiled.

"That's just right, you send these two children to the afternoon class. Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go first. Ishura nodded, and led Wang Yao and Zheng Jingjing, who said goodbye to the division commanders, out of the office.

The office door closed, Xu Feng restrained the smile on his face and looked at Mao Weitao, "How is it." ”

Xu Feng was referring to Wang Yao.

Mao Weitao frowned, looking a little cold, "If he is really self-taught, then he has no intention of being a genius." ”

"The performance just now is really amazing. Xu Feng squinted his eyes to show a look of remembrance, "It reminds me of your master's glimpse on the stage back then." ”

"It's a lot like that, indeed. Mao Weitao nodded with a solemn expression, "Moreover, although his performance is a little green, there is no stage fright and embarrassment, the lines and rhythm are very exquisite, and he also changed the tone of the lines in the back, which is different from my master." ”

"That's why he said he was a genius. Xie Ying pushed her glasses and said with a smile, "The moment that kid started to play just now, he was really imposing, really like an old actor with rich stage experience." ”

"It's just a paragraph, maybe it's the one he's best at, the play is a play, not a section, and a slight mistake on the stage will affect the whole play. Xu Jie said in a deep voice.

"He was only seventeen years old. Mao Weitao glanced at Xu Jie, and then looked at Xu Feng, "But Uncle Shi's practice of accepting apprentices is indeed a bit sloppy." ”

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head, "I was also impulsed by that moment, Xiucai is heartfelt." ”

Listening to Xu Feng's sighing tone, the three of them sank at the same time.

Before 2000, there were thousands of large and small troupes in the country, but in just a few years, it dropped sharply to more than 300.

The impact of foreign culture and the obscure lines and performance methods of the drama have made the current young people have no desire to learn, and lack of channels to understand, from CCTV's only promotion of Chinese art and culture "Quyuan Miscellaneous" ratings fell below 2 points in a row, it can be seen that the decline of traditional art has made all the children of Liyuan feel cold.

But there is nothing to do, the audience doesn't want to watch, you can't force people to watch, without the audience, there is no income, art workers are also people, and they have to eat to support their families, when they can't eat, they can only give up these old crafts and make another way to make a living.

This is the cruelty of reality, although the country has always had high benefits for traditional art actors, but it is only for first-class actors like them, and no matter how high the treatment given by the state, the income of these first-class actors is even worse than that of a third-tier artist in the entertainment industry now.

Because the most important thing in traditional art is not craftsmanship, but rules, the rules set by the ancestors are bigger than the sky, such as singing, singing opera is a craft, not begging, it is to make money with ability, and the master is strict and strict, the most taboo is to take on work privately, which is commonly known as walking acupoints or commercial performances, and all actors must follow the troupe.

However, with the passage of time and the 'cultural fault' more than ten years ago, the people directly caused the people to 'forget' about traditional art, and the culture of thousands of years has been completely forgotten by the descendants of China in just a dozen years.

Ordinary people can't understand the play, this is the most important reason.

I don't understand it, and I don't have the money to buy tickets, so the troupe will naturally lose its livelihood, and under the vicious circle, the major once glorious traditional arts have encountered the biggest crisis, and many famous artists and traditional crafts have been lost.

Drama has always been the leader of traditional culture, if even opera has declined, then the country's thousands of years of culture may really only be able to see materials in museums in the future.

This kind of intangible cultural heritage cannot be passed on with words and images, and it all depends on the careful watering of hand to mouth, in order to truly pass it on, and once it is lost, it becomes a real swan song.

Xu Feng vaguely remembered that last year, an old artist who was a sugar sculpture (sugar blower) went to visit before he died, and the old man was speechless with a ventilator, but he saw Xu Feng holding Xu Feng's hand and saying to him in a voice like a gossamer.

"Find me an apprentice, this craft can't be broken, I can still blow. ”

The old man's words made Xu Feng vaguely see himself more than ten years later, but he didn't know who he could hold at that time, and said this unwillingness that could not be described in words.

Craftsmen all believe in their ancestors, and if the craftsmanship passed down for hundreds of years is cut off in their own hands, then they are really shameless to face their ancestors after death.

After Xu Feng went back, he talked to his sister about this matter many times, and also united with several other related organizations to write together, but it has been delayed for some other reasons.

Seeing Wang Yao today, Xu Feng was a little excited about the unusual performance style of this thin boy, and what opera needs in addition to inheritance, there is also innovation in line with the trend of the times.

Seeing Wang Yao's performance, what excited Xu Feng the most was not Wang Yao's amazing performance, but his slight changes in lines and tunes, which made his eyes shine.

It was like the feeling of being injected with fresh blood in his body, and the feeling of exhilaration, made him want to take in the apprenticeship.

But accepting apprentices is a big deal, the first thing to value is not qualification and talent, but character, Xu Feng later tried it a little flexibly, and found that Wang Yao has a pure heart, at least the character is not bad.

Xu Feng himself has no talent for singing, and he has not become a big horn after singing for so many years, and he can't compare with his sister, but he has a persistent pursuit of Yue Opera, although he can't sing well, he can still make educational contributions to Yue Opera.

He didn't think that he would accept apprentices, because his requirements for apprentices were not only to be able to sing, but also to carry forward Yue Opera.

He saw this hope in Wang Yao.
