Chapter 3 Where is the road to Cantonese opera?
It took Gu Che a lot of effort to settle the wolf-like aunts, and promised to make songs for them to use as square dance music before they could get out.
"The Most Dazzling National Style" is one of the Divine Comedies of Earth Square Dance in Dreams, and many famous music critics on the planet have mixed reviews of this song.
To put it mildly, that's down-to-earth. To put it mildly, it is vulgar!
But Gu Che didn't think so about this song, he very much agreed with the comment of one of the netizens: Vulgar, that is, elegant!
What the masses like, there must be a reason to like it.
Although this song is really vulgar, it is close to people's lives, and it is written in songs that ordinary people can understand, and they can hum along with the melody.
If you ask them to listen to ancient poems, they may not be able to understand them.
But if you sing this song to them, they will understand it.
The national is the world!
Hum a song "The Most Dazzling National Style", who still says that they can't understand Chinese style?
No matter how disparaging this song is among those professional music critics, it still can't affect the hot charm of this song, and it has also appeared in an international basketball tournament, and the music melody at halftime!
Out to sea, I'm hanging~
A cappella version of "The Most Dazzling National Style" can be recognized by the square dance aunt, which makes Gu Che's heart to persuade the master to be a lot firmer.
The melody of this song is a highlight, the cheerful and moving drum rhythm adds a lot of points, and without the melody, the song is simply half less charming, I didn't expect it to be able to kill both men and women.
Every morning, after the sound of swishing, Gu Che would choose to walk to the Cantonese Opera House, and walk for about 20 minutes, watching the lively scene of people gradually coming and going in the streets and alleys.
But this time it took a lot of time, so Gu Che swept a shared bicycle and rode it!
The cool wind hit his face, and his pounding heart calmed down a lot.
With the memory of the earth in his dreams, he thought of many things.
It is indispensable to write new Cantonese operas, but while Cantonese opera is innovating, he can also lead the innovation of Cantonese music, film and television animation related to Cantonese opera.
The Cantonese opera of the Lingnan people in Nanzhou has been preserved with great difficulty, and one of its major features is that the Lingnan region retains its characteristic Lingnan Cantonese culture.
As long as Cantonese does not disappear, Cantonese opera, which is firmly tied to Cantonese, will not disappear.
But this is no longer the glorious era of Cantonese that it used to be.
In the past, there were Cantonese songs out of the circle, which made many people who couldn't speak Cantonese practice their pronunciation specifically to sing a good and moving Cantonese song, but now?
Not to mention whether people in other continents know Cantonese or not, even the new generation of children in the Lingnan area of Nanzhou are reluctant to speak Cantonese.
Gu Che has heard old Cantonese opera fans complain more than once that the children at home are only willing to speak Mandarin and refuse to speak Cantonese, and they have to talk to their children at home about Cantonese, so that they can listen and understand more, and even require that they must speak Cantonese at home.
This approach is a bit harsh, but it represents parents' concern about the disappearance of Cantonese culture, and the hard work of one generation as the next.
Those Cantonese opera fans laughed bitterly and laughed at themselves: "This is the real 'bilingual' education!" ”
There are a lot of classic Cantonese film and television culture, music, etc. on the earth, and Gu Che feels that even if it is to inherit Cantonese opera, he should do something.
Cantonese opera, with its local language characteristics, is rooted in the nutrients of the local language.
When one day if the local language is lost, then Cantonese opera ...... I'm afraid it won't be much better.
Even though Cantonese opera has successfully applied for intangible cultural heritage and is protected by the Xia culture, as Cantonese opera heirs, how can they not feel sad to watch Cantonese opera decline and wither day by day?
At this moment, Gu Che suddenly realized the feelings of the senior sister and the senior brother when they resolutely broke away from the master's Cantonese opera troupe and joined the major large Cantonese opera troupes.
Perhaps, it is also like his mood at the moment, he wants to ask for new and change, just for inheritance!
When he came to the Cantonese opera troupe, Gu Che put down his bicycle, took a deep breath, and hurriedly walked in.
Luo Mingli was waiting in front of the door of the master's office, and when he saw Gu Che, his eyes lit up, he pulled him aside, and said in a low voice:
"Don't go in to check in and report yet, the senior brother and the senior sister are back, and they are talking to the master in the office!"
Luo Mingli is a member of the Cantonese Opera Troupe, and has a good relationship with Gu Che, if Gu Che's appearance is handsome, then Luo Mingli is rough, and he specializes in playing the role of civil and military ugly students and short martial arts students in the troupe.
Gu Che frowned, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes when he looked at the office, "They won't fight, right?" ”
Luo Mingli said uncertainly: "Probably not." ”
As soon as the words fell, shortly after, there was a heavy "bang" in the office!
To be bad!
Gu Che and Luo Mingli glanced at each other, and they both immediately rushed in.
"Master, don't be impulsive!"
"Master, if you have something to say!"
The door was pushed open, and the scene made the two of them a little stunned.
The senior brother and the senior sister were kneeling in front of the master, looking up at the master stubbornly, their backs straight as green pines.
Although the master Ding Taiqi has gray hair, he has a strong physique and a tough body, and he is full of energy when he trains people to rehearse in the past.
At this time, he was holding a black thick whip in his hand, his face was red, obviously the two of them were angry, and he pointed at them tremblingly and shouted: "Bastard, let me out!" ”
Kong Ping and He Huanying were still kneeling.
Senior Brother Kong Ping said very firmly: "Master, if you don't agree to me, I will kneel here and not leave!" ”
Senior Sister He Huanying didn't speak, but her attitude was obvious.
Seeing that the master was really going to whip it over, Gu Che's eyelids jumped, his movements were faster than what he thought in his heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the whip in the master's hand.
"Master, if you have something to say, don't be impulsive!"
Luo Mingli also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Yes, master, there is no need to use the ancestral training of the master and the elder sister to commit the crime, the family law is served!" ”
Ding Taiqi kicked so angrily that his whole body trembled, and he clutched the whip tightly and did not let go.
"If you don't use the ancestral teachings anymore, the inheritance of Cantonese opera will be lost in their hands, and the pride of the ancestors will be eaten by you!"
"We are the children of the red boat, we are upright people, we are not humble or arrogant, and we will not use any means to rob others of business! Our Cantonese opera can play a piece of the world, all because of a good reputation, excellent and superb opera skills, some people come to invite, why bother to make small means to win the competition. Cantonese opera, with the pride of Cantonese opera! ”
Kong Ping craned his neck to look at him: "Inheriting Cantonese opera is what we are all doing, the times are developing and progressing, and Cantonese opera must also progress with it, otherwise it will be abandoned by the times!" Now we have no shortage of opera singing, but what about ten years from now, twenty years from now, thirty years from now? When the old Cantonese opera fans who have seen the demeanor of the children of the red boat return to their homeland, who will listen to the new generation of Cantonese opera? And who knows? ”
"Master, Cantonese opera, also need to reform and innovate!" Kong Ping said with tears in his eyes.
A dignified eight-foot man, with tears in his eyes and desolation in his eyes.
Senior sister He Huanying also spoke: "Master, Cantonese opera must be inherited, but how should it be inherited?" It's no longer enough to sing in Cantonese opera, we must also be good at making use of the Internet era to broaden the direction of Cantonese opera. ”
Ding Taiqi glared at the two of them angrily: "Get out, anyway, I won't come to the door in person to beg people, even if you want to be on any big variety show, you have to compete with others in a dignified manner, I can't open the back door for you!" ”
Gu Che and Luo Mingli hurriedly helped the master to sit down, and the other pulled the senior brother and sister up.
After everyone else left the office, Ding Taiqi suddenly asked, "Xiao Che, did I do something wrong?" ”
Gu Che hesitated, and replied in accordance with his heart: "Master, I don't think you're wrong, but senior brother and senior sister are not wrong, you just have different ideas." Although everyone's starting point is different, their goal is the same, they all want to pass on Cantonese opera. ”
Ding Taiqi sighed, Gu Che looked over and found that the master seemed to be much older, and the breath in his heart was lost.
Tintage muttered to himself, "Perhaps, you are right...... I'm old, everyone is old, and I can't keep up with the changes of this era. ”
Gu Che's eyes were hot, and he squatted beside him and said, "Master, don't think so, we still need your help." You are a treasure, with you by your side, we will not suffer! ”
Ding Taiqi's old hand stroked Gu Che's head and muttered: "It's not impossible to seek innovation and change, but don't lose the things of your ancestors." ”
"Xiao Che, there is a large-scale cross-continent variety show that will come to Nanzhou to shoot next month, and the main focus of this episode of the variety show is to spread the traditional intangible cultural heritage culture of the Xia Kingdom. Your brother and sister want to take Cantonese opera to variety shows and spread Cantonese opera culture, what do you think? ”
Gu Che thought about what Senior Brother said before, and probably guessed something.
The director of Nanzhou Radio and Television Station is an old Cantonese opera fan, and he is also a Cantonese opera fan of the master for many years.
The senior brother and sister want to take Cantonese opera to participate in a big variety show, and find the master, presumably because they want the master to say something and take a walk.
Gu Che can understand his brother's eagerness to bring Cantonese opera to the world, but in fact, he doesn't agree with his approach.
Since it is a big variety show, it is an upright competition.
Nanzhou has a lot of ancient traditional intangible cultural heritage, and it may be safe to have a relationship, but from the side, isn't it also afraid that Cantonese opera will not compete with other cultures, and it has not been selected by variety shows?
Cantonese opera has the pride of Cantonese opera.
A dignified competition, if it fails, there is no difference.
But if they can fight their way out of the competition with other cultures, it also proves that the programs they launch are definitely high-quality!
Gu Che thought about this and said: "The idea of the senior brother and sister is good, the times are changing, and Cantonese opera should also change, otherwise it is likely to be abandoned by the public." ”
"But they are so eager, so anxious, they may not be able to put out a good work for the public. My idea was to participate, but to compete with other cultures. ”
Tintage nodded slightly, not saying anything.
