Chapter 197: Mei Cheng Fights (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The ratings of the first issue of "The Shepherd Arrives" directly broke through the sky, and the leaders of Lu Provincial Satellite TV couldn't close their mouths with laughter!
The most gratifying thing is that most of the audience of this show is actually young people!
As we all know, although Peking Opera is known as the quintessence of the country in China, and there are many opera fans, most of the fans who like Peking Opera are middle-aged and elderly friends.
Actually, this is also the reason of the times.
The reason why Peking Opera became popular back then was because there were still too few entertainment choices for ordinary people.
And now, spending hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie no one watches it, and a few of you are singing on stage, and young people are even less welcome!
Therefore, Peking Opera is becoming more and more dangerous, if there is no way to let young people return to the opera garden, then Peking Opera can only face the result of defeat step by step!
Over the years, people in the Peking Opera industry have also tried their best, despite the development of the Internet, many young actors in the new era have started live broadcasts of Peking Opera on the Internet, telling some of their daily lives, and they have also gained the attention of some fans!
However, such piecemeal work did not play a much alleviating role for the entire Peking Opera market.
Every time I perform, I see that the audience is basically a fan of opera in their thirties, and many actors are happy at the same time, but they are also deeply worried about the future of Peking Opera!
How can you attract the attention of young people?
This has become a major problem in the Peking Opera industry at present!
And Lin Mu's birth seems to be to solve this problem!
First of all, Lin Mu's appearance is also at the top level in the Peking Opera circle where handsome guys and beauties are like clouds.
Secondly, the super strength also allowed Lin Mu to quickly gain a firm foothold in the Peking Opera circle!
Next, Lin Mu first captured a group of young audiences with his charm in variety shows, and then through his personal charm, he brought more young people under his command!
Although these young people may not be here for Lin Mu's Peking Opera, the first thing is to gather popularity, and after that, no one will be willing to listen to what you say!
This is also what Lin Mu learned from Guo Degang!
Guo Degang has always said that his three favorite favorites in his life are storytelling, singing, and cross talk.
In terms of level, cross talk is the second!
However, Guo Degang is known to the world for his cross talk, and his biggest label is a cross talk actor.
Because of cross talk, Guo Degang has a group of die-hard fans.
Under the influence of Guo Degang and his apprentices, these die-hard fans have also slowly fallen in love with Peking Opera!
In today's Peking Opera market, Guo Degang's Peking Opera tickets are the most expensive, even Lin Mu can't reach them!
However, that is also the current glory that Guo Degang has only laid out for 20 years.
Therefore, Lin Mu hopes that he can also attract enough audiences from other places, and then, with his personal charm, let them slowly like Peking Opera!
Although it takes a lot of time to cultivate the audience, Lin Mu feels that it is worth it!
Because, the two biggest problems facing the Peking Opera industry today are the problems of actors and audiences!
The problem of actors is very simple, in the past Peking Opera industry, it was all about eating with ability, the capable went up, and the weak went down, although it was cruel, but it could force the actors to improve their art crazily, that is, because of this, the Peking Opera masters of that era would appear like a blowout!
In today's Peking Opera Company, the shortcomings are clear at a glance, and it is difficult to change them.
And the problem of the audience is the most important reason for the decline of Peking Opera today!
The audience is disconnected!
In that special era, Peking Opera performers could not perform at all, so the audience had no place to go to the opera.
This has led to the audience leaving the Peking Opera market, and after the recovery of Peking Opera, the next group of audiences will not know much about opera!
Now there are many middle-aged people who like to listen to opera, but they don't understand opera, at least, compared with those theater fans in the Republic of China, the gap is obvious!
The simplest point is that it will not be applauded!
This sentence sounds very strange, how can people not applaud, isn't that what a mouth will be?
However, the applause of Peking Opera fans is all knotty!
The scene that Lin Mu performed in Luoyi City made him feel that the audience really wouldn't applaud now!
First of all, when a Peking Opera actor takes the stage for the first time, if it is a famous actor, the audience below will definitely meet to send it, if it is a young actor, it is no problem if it is not applauded, but at least take it with applause!
Secondly, in the process of singing Peking Opera actors, the point of applause is very important!
Generally, after the horn has finished singing a large section, the audience will applaud!
However, many times, in fact, the horn has a beautiful voice in the middle of this singing, even if it is a beautiful action, it is actually worthy of a applause!
However, most of the audience didn't know what a knotty eye was, so many of Lin Mu's performances could be regarded as throwing flattery to the blind.
After that performance, Lin Mu finally discovered that the biggest problem in the Peking Opera industry now is that the audience doesn't know how to play!
Therefore, when Lu Provincial Satellite TV found him to record a program, Lin Mu made it clear that he wanted to do a program to promote the knowledge of Peking Opera and let the audience understand Peking Opera!
Lu Provincial Satellite TV is also very powerful, and soon researched and created this "The Shepherd Arrives", using a talk show to instill the story of Peking Opera in everyone!
In fact, this show, within Lu Provincial Satellite TV, is not recognized by many high-level officials.
They feel that this kind of storytelling Peking Opera talk show will not be watched by anyone at all.
Even if Lin Mu has a good popularity, they are still not optimistic about this show!
However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as this episode of the show was launched, it instantly became a hit and directly became the highest-rated variety show this year!
And Lin Mu, through this show, really has a deeply rooted label in the hearts of the audience!
Peking Opera actors!
Although Lin Mu was very popular in the past, when others mentioned Lin Mu, they were all "the singer who sang "Wujia Po", "the man in "Good Show", "the actor in "Da Wusheng"......
However, now, when others mention Lin Mu, it becomes "I know, isn't it the Peking Opera actor in "The Shepherd Arrives"!
Peking Opera actor, this is the most significant label on Lin Mu!
In a week's time, the popularity of the show "The King of Shepherds Arrives" on the Internet has not dropped, but has become more and more intense.
In fact, young people don't like Peking Opera, but they simply don't understand it, mainly because their parents are fans of that generation.
Theater fans need to be cultivated and inherited!
For a long time, opera fans have been when they were young, following their grandfather or father to the opera garden to listen to the opera, listening to their grandfather or father explain to themselves who the actor above is and what kind of drama he is singing, and slowly growing up, he will become the next generation of theater fans!
And the current generation of young people, their parents have no chance to come into contact with opera due to historical reasons, even if they like Peking Opera, but they don't know much about Peking Opera!
Even if they take their juniors to listen to the opera, and the juniors ask who the actors on the stage are, this can still be answered, but if they ask a little deeper, they don't know, and if they don't know, it is easy for young people to rebel against Peking Opera!
It's not fun, it's not fun!
Young people in this era, who has the ability to sit there and listen to a play that they don't understand!
Therefore, it is very important to promote Peking Opera and let more young people know about Peking Opera, know the stories in Peking Opera, and know what Peking Opera is singing!
……
"Welcome to my show, "The Shepherd Arrives", this program is created by our Lu Provincial Satellite TV, thank you again Lu Provincial Satellite TV!"
"In the last episode, we talked about the art of Peking Opera as a corner, and also talked about how to become a corner, so today, let's talk about what things will happen and what you need to pay attention to after becoming a corner!"
"I believe everyone should have heard a saying, just look at how a person is, and see what level his enemies are!"
"I often see lines in some TV series, I want to laugh very much, when the dog leg is talking to his master, he tries his best to belittle the master's opponent, and the other party is said to be worthless, and his master is also proud, I wonder, what are you proud of, your opponent is garbage, doesn't that prove that you are not a good thing!"
"During the Republic of China, why Peking Opera was so prosperous was because there were too many strong people, and everyone ate with their own ability, if you can't do it, you can go down and change to another line!"
"Therefore, this has led to many actors competing with each other and themselves, which has greatly improved the overall quality of Peking Opera actors, and made the Peking Opera market more prosperous!"
Many of the audience in the audience nodded silently, this is like competitive sports, two teams, must be of equal strength, even if it is two weak teams, as long as there is a relationship between the play, someone will go to watch, but if the strength and weakness are clear, one person plays according to the other, then it is not interesting!
Lin Mu said with a smile, "Everyone has heard of the saying that there is a ring in the martial arts world, in fact, in our Peking Opera industry, there are also rules for fighting in the ring!" ”
"I believe that many people in the audience have been to Deyun Club to listen to cross talk, just take the two gardens of Sanqingyuan and Guangdelou, the distance is very close, in the past, these two gardens are the relationship of competition!"
"The two troupes settled in Sanqingyuan and Guangde Building respectively, and they all wanted to make their own reputations, and the actors also wanted to compete for the level, so they agreed to fight in the ring, agreed on the time, and started the play at the same time, and performed for half a month, or a month, and then saw who sold more tickets, and who won!"
"Some people think that even if they win this ring, what can they do, let me tell you, this way of fighting in the ring, if it is not a deep hatred, or with full certainty, many people will choose to do this, because the price is too great!"
"Of course, the winning troupe is complacent, and there will be more fans who come, and the troupe that loses the ring will be punished by hanging the play for a period of time, the so-called hanging play, that is, stopping the performance, your troupe will not be able to perform for a period of time, you know, a troupe has less than a dozen people, more than dozens of people, people eat horses, there is no performance, drink the northwest wind!"
"By the way, are there any Meipai fans in the audience?"
Lin Mu looked at the audience and suddenly asked.
Many of the audience raised their hands one after another, Lin Mu nodded, and said, "Are there any fans of the Cheng School?" ”
The audience who raised their hands just now put down their hands one after another and looked around curiously.
Another group of spectators raised their hands, but there were obviously not as many as the first time!
Lin Mu bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile, "I believe some people should be curious, why do I ask these two questions, it is because there is a very strange phenomenon in the Peking Opera industry, many opera fans, he is not a fan of one genre!" ”
"If you like the old students, you can like the Yu faction, you can also like the horse faction, and even the four major beards he likes, this is a normal thing!"
"And those who like Danjiao can like the Mei School, or they can like the Xun School and the Monk School, but those who like the Mei School rarely like the Cheng School, and in the same way, the fans who like the Cheng School also rarely like the Mei School!"
"The fans of these two genres are very distinct, and when everyone raised their hands just now, I also found that no one likes both the Mei School and the Cheng School!"
"But everyone must know that Mr. Cheng Yanqiu at the beginning was Mr. Mei Lanfang's apprentice, and it stands to reason that Cheng Yanqiu's style should not be much different from Mei Lanfang."
"However, people who know opera know that the Cheng faction is not only very different from the Mei faction, but also different from any Danjiao genre, and that unique singing and performance method is also the reason why the Cheng faction can have so many fans!"
"Mr. Cheng Yanqiu was a senior with great ambitions, although he studied under Mr. Mei Lanfang, but deep down he always had a dream in his heart, that is, to have his own style, become a prince, and surpass Mr. Mei Lanfang."
"Of course, the relationship between the two has always been very good, there are no contradictions, they just want to compete in art!"
"Therefore, Cheng Yanqiu found an opportunity to have a fight with Mr. Mei Lanfang in the magic capital, one in the Golden Theater and the other in the Tianchan Theater, both of them were smash hit actors at that time, and they had a large number of fans!"
"At that time, the fans of the two corners bought tickets to watch the play every day and praised their own characters, and after watching the play, the fans on both sides bought pages in the newspaper to promote their horns, so the two genres, from the competition between the actors on the stage to the competition between the fans off the stage, at that time, the whole magic capital was the news of the two people fighting in the ring!"
