Chapter 304: Competition

spent a day learning Tsing Yi singing, and then, Tang Mu practiced "Who is Acacia For" with Wen Kaishan.

After two more days of practice, the final competition came.

Because the time is a little tight, whether it is Tang Mu or Wen Kaishan, they are a little nervous.

If you just sing, or just sing Peking Opera, Tang Mu or Wen Kaishan will not do this, but adapting the song into Peking Opera is a challenge for both Tang Mu and Wen Kaishan.

Before the competition began, Tang Mu, Wen Kaishan, and Wen Ya arrived at the recording site of the TV station early.

As soon as they arrived, many fans outside the TV station shouted.

Tang Mu ...... Tang Mu ......"

Obviously, most of the people who came here today are Tang Mu's fans, and they have no interest in traditional artists, and they don't even see any fans of traditional artists.

This is the norm for traditional art.

Most of the people who like traditional art are elderly people, these people have gradually become rational and mature, and rarely do crazy things, and it is impossible to chase stars.

So, even if they like a certain traditional artist, they don't say that they come here to cheer them on.

Wen Kaishan was also helpless when he saw this situation, but his son-in-law had so many people to support him, and he was also happy in his heart.

"It seems that you have a lot of fans in the capital."

Tang Mu smiled modestly, and said gently: "It's a lot, it's going to be a concert in the capital soon, there are more fans, so you don't have to worry about bad sales of concert tickets." ”

Wen Ya just talked casually, but Tang Mu and Wen Kaishan suddenly smiled intently, as if the two had a tacit secret.

Wen Ya quickly noticed this situation and couldn't help but be curious.

"Are you two hiding something from me?" Wen Ya looked like a teacher asking for guilt, Tang Mu hurriedly shook his head: "No, what can my father and I hide from you." ”

Although it was a lie, Tang Mu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, but Wen Kaishan was a little nervous: "No...... Nothing to hide from you. ”

Seeing his father like this, Tang Mu was speechless in his heart, why can't his father-in-law even tell a lie, if you hesitate like this, it's strange that Wen Ya doesn't doubt it.

Wen Ya's side naturally saw it, she knew that her father belonged to a more regular person, rarely lied, and even never lied, and there was obviously something wrong with what she said just now.

However, just as she was about to continue asking, a group of staff from the program team greeted her.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Wen, your dressing room is over there, and the recording is about to start, why don't you two go and put on your makeup first?"

Tang Mu and Wen Kaishan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got over, so they hurriedly responded, although Wen Ya was curious, but they were about to perform on stage later, and she couldn't continue to ask, so she could only follow them into the dressing room.

Two people, Tang Mu is Tsing Yi, so he has to wear the women's clothes in Peking Opera, but the women's clothes in Tsing Yi are relatively simple, at least much simpler than Wudan, and the clothes they wear are not complicated.

After wearing such clothes, Tang Mu was a little taller because he was a little taller, but he was a little unworthy of Tsing Yi's situation, but these were not a problem.

After dressing up, the people in the program team took another mask to Tang Mu.

"Mr. Tang, put on your mask."

In such a show, Tsing Yi doesn't need to paint his face, let alone bring a mask, so when the people in the program team brought the mask over, Wen Kaishan's brows condensed.

Adapting Peking Opera like this, he has barely let himself endure it, after all, it is to promote Peking Opera, but Tsing Yi still wears a mask, which makes him a little unbearable.

Is it a matter of changing traditional art beyond recognition?

"What do you do with a mask?" Just as Tang Mu was about to take the mask, Wen Kaishan suddenly asked.

This was something that the people in the program team didn't expect, but he soon explained: "Teacher Wen, that's the case, Tang Mu doesn't want to sing Tsing Yi, wearing a mask can make it more effective, and when you are halfway through singing, just take off the mask." ”

With such an explanation, both Tang Mu and Wen Kaishan are clear about the purpose of the program team.

It is rare for men to sing Tsing Yi, and there are even fewer non-professionals like Tang Mu, it can be said that Tang Mu's voice is a very amazing thing, and the situation of holding the pipa and half-covering his face is even more effective.

Although he felt a little nondescript, Wen Kaishan still accepted this and did not continue to ask.

After they all dressed up, the competition began.

In this issue, the program team found four singers or actors from all over the country, and then found four old artists from different Peking Opera schools from all over the country.

Four guests and four old artists formed a group, on the stage to compete, and finally 500 public judges decided to advance to the finals.

This situation is different from other competition programs, the others are all elimination systems, but this is a promotion system, but even so, each drama type only has two opportunities to appear on stage.

There is still one phase of the Peking Opera special, which one will be promoted to a group, and then there will be no chance of any performance for the rest.

In other words, in the end, two groups of Peking Opera combinations advanced to the finals.

In addition to the 500 public judges, the program team also invited several famous Peking Opera masters from China, as well as domestic respected hosts or actors.

Their existence does not determine the stay of that group, they just play a guiding role, and tell some of the performances of the actors on the stage, after all, not every audience has the ability to appreciate.

They just have to give these viewers some opportunities to understand, or some explanations, of course, with their existence, the program team will be more interesting.

This can also be regarded as for the effect of the show.

Four groups of guests, in addition to Tang Mu and Wen Kaishan, there is also a combination of singer Yuan Jie and veteran Peking Opera artist Mei Linzi, actor Yu Rong and veteran Peking Opera artist Qiu Baiyi, and actor Ning Su and veteran Peking Opera artist Chen Chen.

The four combinations are relatively unfamiliar to the audience, except for the four singers and actors, many people have no impression of the four old Peking Opera artists.

In fact, many old artists and audiences of Peking Opera have no impression, and they have not even heard of it, except for a few Peking Opera masters, and most of the audiences across the country may have a little impression.

And even if they are Peking Opera masters, even if some people have an impression, in fact, their popularity is far less than that of a third- or fourth-tier actor or singer.

There is no way, the audience of traditional art is too small, and this is the meaning of the existence of the program "Ding Lu Throat Choking", so that more people can understand traditional art.
