Chapter 5: A Different Way, The Legend of the White Snake

There was a moment of silence.

After a long time, Gu Che asked: "What program does the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe plan to take to the competition?" ”

Kong Ping is not afraid that the little junior brother will leak out, to some extent, they are all the same kind of people, he knows that the little junior brother's love for Cantonese opera is no less than his.

He said: "The Cantonese Opera Troupe plans to rearrange old songs and add trendy musical elements, such as electronic music, piano and violin, to rearrange the background music, and rearrange some well-known songs and stories to add the popular storytelling. ”

As soon as the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe received the news that a large-scale variety show had come to shoot intangible cultural heritage, it held a three-day meeting and finally decided on the plan of "new compilation of old songs".

The senior sister He Huanying still has a say in this regard, and the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe, under her staff, has compiled a few new old songs this year, and the response is okay.

Although this also caused dissatisfaction among many old Cantonese opera fans, it finally embraced more young fans.

Gu Che has also listened to a few pieces written by his senior sister, regardless of the professionalism of the opera, but it is indeed trendy and novel enough, which has aroused many discussions.

It's a good thing to have a discussion, at least it's much better than a pool of stagnant water.

But Gu Che thought of another question and frowned: "Time is too short. ”

Kong Ping and He Huanying looked helpless, and the senior sister spoke: "Yes, the time is too short. ”

"For a play, if you want to attract people, you have to watch it for at least one or two hours, but because of the duration of the variety show, people in the radio and television station estimate that they can only give ten minutes of intangible cultural heritage performances at most, so this show is also limited to ten minutes. Just want to get people into the play in ten minutes, how difficult is it? ”

Kong Ping looked serious: "And this is also a big challenge for the actors, we must go all out into the play within ten minutes, we can only pick the most climactic part of the play to perform." ”

The time-hungry opera is obviously at a disadvantage in a ten-minute performance.

On the other hand, most of the other intangible cultural heritage cultures tend to make ancient delicacies that have been passed down from generation to generation, or some complicated and luxurious ancient crafts, which have an attractive attraction for young people to "see" first.

In terms of the popularity of singing, Cantonese opera is not as good as folk songs and ballads; In terms of experience, it is not as good as the color, flavor and flavor of food; In terms of good-looking luxury, the costumes are indeed worthy of the title, but in the end they are not as impactful as the gold silk clothes and beautiful jewelry made by those craftsmen.

Ten minutes, an incomparably precious short ten minutes, how to show the charm of Cantonese opera and attract more people's attention is a big problem!

After Gu Che took a deep dive, he also understood the difficulties of the senior sister and the senior brother.

He lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and suddenly thought of a popular Cantonese opera movie on the earth, that is-"The Legend of the White Snake: Love"!

Gu Che's fists couldn't help clenching.

He remembers that this popular Cantonese opera film was first released from the Cantonese opera troupe, and it was well received, so that the team had the confidence and plan to launch a movie.

Maybe he can first take out the script of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love", and then persuade people step by step to invest in making a movie and copy the road on the earth?

After the release of the movie "The Legend of the White Snake: Love", the movie promotional songs "Waiting for You to Return" and "Fulfill My Wish" launched to the public are a perfect contact combination with the public's aesthetics!

In particular, the song "Waiting for You to Return", after an extremely moving audio-visual interpretation, made many people who had never seen this movie in the cinema run to the video website to watch it.

Those who have already seen it in the cinema continue to watch it on the Internet.

Even if I don't have any interest in this movie, I have become interested in songs, and after listening to it for a long time, I will subtly hum a few words of Cantonese opera.

This is a perfect combination of popular and intangible cultural heritage!

Gu Che must be in his heart, in a variety show, isn't a music that combines pop and Cantonese opera also a very good publicity?

For the sake of the effect of the show, variety shows will also be more inclined to content that conforms to the public's aesthetics.

It's not about how subtle and professional the content is, it's about how much more acceptable to the general public.

Gu Che looked up at Senior Brother Kong Ping, and said in an extremely calm tone: "Let's think differently." ”

"Huh?" The other three couldn't help but look over, and Gu Che suddenly smiled and stopped talking.

Luo Mingli put his tongue on the top of his cheeks, and snorted, and his hands began to itch and wanted to hit someone.

Here it is, here it is again, Gu Che came with his mysterious smile.

Luo Mingli looked at his senior brother, but he didn't expect that his senior brother would stare at him very seriously.

Luo Mingli: ......

He shook his head and took the initiative to ask: "Xiao Che, among us, you have the highest level of education, and you have the most flowers, just say what you think, and senior brother and sister will definitely listen to your opinions with an open mind." ”

In the end, he was afraid that Gu Che would not say anything, so he added: "Everything is for the inheritance of Cantonese opera." ”

Gu Che smiled, not as much as he had to hang his senior brothers and sisters like he did in the past, and said directly: "I can tell you, but I have a request, if you agree with my ideas and ideas, then you have to work with me, and we will compete together in the name of the master Cantonese opera troupe." ”

Although he knew that the senior brother and sister came to beg the master to let Cantonese opera have more exposure and let major netizens understand the charm of Cantonese opera, Gu Che was still very dissatisfied with the head of the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe who made this request.

If he has the ability, he will come to the door in person.

What kind of hero is he who throws the problem to his own brothers and sisters?

If it weren't for the sake of the same family, Gu Che would have wanted to tell his senior brothers and sisters that the head of your Cantonese opera troupe is not a good person and has no morality, so he asked you to come here to take advantage of you and quickly get out of the Cantonese opera troupe.

But after thinking about it, Gu Che still endured it.

He knows how big the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe is, and it is one of the best Cantonese opera troupes in Nanzhou.

After all, being actively poached is not the same as changing jobs and going to other places to get a status.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Gu Che can't express his dissatisfaction.

Kong Ping and He Huanying glanced at each other, a touch of helplessness crossed their faces, and they guessed clearly what the little junior brother was thinking.

If it weren't for Gu Che's request, Kong Ping and He Huanying would definitely have provided his ideas to the Cantonese opera troupe.

Kong Ping pondered for a while, and a touch of firmness crossed his face: "If you really have a good idea, what if you stay and help you?" But junior brother, you have to think about it, the master's Cantonese opera troupe plus me and Huanying are only four people. ”

Luo Mingli was originally secretly happy that his junior brother's hand was fighting back beautifully, but now when he heard it, he couldn't help but worry.

"Yes, Xiao Che, there are only four of us, and it is a bit difficult to discharge a complete play!"

Gu Che smiled and said confidently: "Who said that to promote Cantonese opera culture, you can only sing opera?" ”
