After waiting for a month, the national opera exchange competition began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The venue of the competition is in the Kyoto Theater, the theme of this competition is to carry forward the spirit of innovation, the repertoire participating in the competition is all new works created in recent years, Li Feiyang, as the original creator of the opera, naturally had to accompany the troupe into the competition site.

The three-storey circular hall was full of people at this time.

The judges' bench is under the high stage, and some of the judges are old people in the music industry, some are masters in the literary world, and there are professional music critics.

On the judges' bench, Li Feiyang found several familiar faces, Huang Shichang, Wang Buzhi, and Huang Heliu seemed to be sitting at the front of the judges' bench. Seeing Li Feiyang say hello, the three of them nodded their heads, Huang Zhengnong actually sat next to Huang Shichang, it is estimated that he is a fake public and private follower of his Lao Tzu wants to see it.

Naturally, the opening ceremony was a "simple word" on the stage, and after speaking for half an hour, the competition officially began after singing praises to the leaders and the government.

Although Han opera is famous in the Han Dynasty, it is still a little far away from the word very elegant, but it is Peking Opera that is really in the eyes of cultural people who can really enter Beijing.

Although the history and culture of Han opera are early, compared with Peking Opera, it is a little "rustic", it cannot be called tall, it can only be said to be a down-to-earth local opera, and now it is listed as a national opera or Peking Opera.

Therefore, although Han opera has a great influence and wide coverage, in the eyes of the upper class, the most important type of drama is Peking Opera.

Therefore, the first one to appear on the stage is a Peking Opera excerpt, the title of the play "Liu Yunyang Goes to Nanguang", which tells the story of the protagonist Liu Yunyang was originally from Nanguang, but for some reasons, now settled in Kyoto, after the reform and opening up, he has a little spare money in his hand, and his hand is not so nervous, so he has the idea of going home to visit.

The play tells the story of what Liu Yunyang saw and heard in Lao Jue, and found that after the reform and opening up, the originally poor and backward hometown has changed, high-rise buildings rise from the ground, everyone has a TV set at home, and the living standard is higher than that of himself in Kyoto.

There is no doubt that this is a modern drama that celebrates virtue, and the exaggerations in it make people laugh and cry. In fact, it has only been a little more than a year since the reform and opening up, even if Nanguang is at the forefront of reform and opening up, but it is not as exaggerated as the performance in the opera. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people smuggling into the port city.

The lyrics are not classic, but they are also passable, according to Li Feiyang's appreciation level, I feel that this excerpt is just average, it is a work that is less than the top and more than the bottom. After all, there are not many contradictions and conflicts in it, there are no high-level jokes, and they are not high-quality products.

After the performance, the applause was thunderous, no matter whether the singing was good or not, this polite applause had to be shown.

After the Peking Opera performance, a morning passed, and the judges present began to express their opinions on the scene below.

Mr. Huang Shichang is the oldest and most prestigious old-timer in the entire judges, and his comments on this play naturally began with him.

"Overall, this story is quite reasonable, and the actors' singing skills are not bad, but the highlights are not enough, although there is innovation, but it only brings a new story, and it is not impossible to work in line with the pulse of the times, but this work is inevitably rough."

Huang Shichang commented, mercilessly, there was one thing to say, and several original creators of this Peking Opera were all red-faced, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes, what Huang Lao said is!" ”

Li Feiyang was secretly amused when he saw it, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect Old Man Huang to be so amiable on weekdays, but now when he enters the working state, he is so strict and speaks mercilessly!" ”

After Huang Shichang finished speaking, Wang Buzhi, Huang Heliu and many judges spoke one after another, and began to score the scene, the full score was ten points, and Huang Shichang gave six points, in his eyes, this play had just passed.

But other judges can't score as freely as he does, after all, they belong to the system, and the position they carry determines that they can't rely on their own likes and dislikes to evaluate the quality of an opera program, and the quality of a program is no longer just based on its literary and artistic nature, but also on the political tendencies shown by the program. In their evaluation criteria, the importance of politics is far higher than that of literature and art.

Huang Shichang also knows this, not everyone is as unscrupulous as him, he can do whatever he wants, that is because his status is unmatched, and he doesn't have to look at other people's faces at all. But if others want to support their families and survive, they can only go with the flow, so when Huang Shichang saw that these people gave this Peking Opera a score of more than seven points, he just snorted and didn't say anything.

In the opera competition, there can only be two performances a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and Kunqu opera in the afternoon.

Kunqu Opera is the oldest opera in the Han Dynasty, known as a living fossil in the opera industry, famous at home and abroad for its beautiful singing, elegant body and delicate movements.

In the Han Kingdom, the golden age of Kunqu opera was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when many songwriters and composers were produced, and many popular jokes were created all over the world.

However, it is precisely because there are many literati who create and excessively pursue the slow elegance of singing that they have completely detached from the level of public appreciation, except for some literati and ink writers who can read it with relish, ordinary people can no longer understand it, he has completely lost the soil for survival, and has become a rootless tree.

This time, in order to rescue the country's endangered cultural species, the government organized relevant personnel to begin the compilation and sorting of this ancient opera, and established a new Kunqu Opera Troupe. The participants in the competition this time are the newly formed Kunqu Opera Troupe, and the programs they participate in are not newly created works, but still perform old repertoire. The purpose of their participation is to show off their presence and make a part of the national all-genre opera competition in the Han Kingdom.

In fact, it's not that the Kunqu Opera group doesn't want to create new works, it's just that the creation of Kunqu Opera is too difficult, and without its profound literary accomplishment, it can't write lyrics and compose music at all. The difficulty of creating Kunqu opera is more difficult than that of all genres, and there is no choice but to perform the old repertoire tunes.

Li Feiyang actually didn't like Kunqu Opera in his previous life, but among all the types of operas, Kunqu Opera has the highest artistic achievements and the highest cultural charm. Sometimes in order to be elegant, I accompanied a few friends who were also vassals and elegance to the SZ Theater to listen to the commentary and listen to Kunqu Opera.

At this time, after the Kunqu opera actors on the stage began to perform, Li Feiyang found that this opera also existed in his previous life, which was the famous "Palace of Eternal Life".

After singing the song, the applause was warm, but there were not many people commenting. Few of the judges present had an in-depth study of Kunqu Opera. In the end, it depends on what Mr. Huang Shichang says.
