Chapter 48: The Master Arrives
Nanzhou Cantonese Opera Association.
When I went to work in the afternoon, an emergency meeting was suddenly held, and all the members working in the association gathered in the conference room to discuss the stage of "Waiting for Your Return".
The meeting was attended by about 30 people.
President Cui Ziyu had a serious and solemn expression, and some people wanted to see the direction of the silk wind from his face, but they couldn't see anything.
Cui Ziyu said lightly: "The reason for the sudden emergency meeting must be known to everyone, but I still have to say it again." The stage of "Waiting for You to Return", which combines the Cantonese opera stage and the modern musical stage, appeared in the ace variety show "Ace Action", which caused heated discussions on the whole network for a day, and "Waiting for You to Return" is still on the hot search list, with a far-reaching and huge impact. ”
"Combined with the people's thoughts, almost all of them praise this stage, thinking that it is a very good Cantonese opera stage, and there are many people who have never known about the Cantonese opera stage through this stage. In the eyes of outsiders, this stage has played a good role in the dissemination of Cantonese opera. ”
"But," he said, turning.
"Many people have seen this stage and think that this stage is not a pure Cantonese opera stage, and the Cantonese opera culture promoted through this stage is a wrong culture. This stage cannot interpret Cantonese opera at all, let alone represent Cantonese opera. The higher the popularity, the greater people's misunderstanding of Cantonese opera, which is a very bad phenomenon. ”
Cui Ziyu paused, "Before discussing, I have to remind you that the stage of "Waiting for You to Return" first appeared on Nanzhou Radio and Television Station, and it is performed on behalf of the intangible cultural heritage Cantonese opera culture. Nanzhou Radio and Television Station has been reviewed and recognized that their stage is a Cantonese opera stage, so they were selected to be sent to the cross-continental variety show "Operation Ace". ”
"All the questions you raise are likely to conflict with Nanzhou Radio and Television Station, please think twice before you discuss them. Regardless of the outcome, everyone represents the Nanzhou Cantonese Opera Association. ”
As soon as the words fell, some members of the association couldn't help but speak.
"I think it's all a good thing, you don't have to be so serious, it's rare for the Cantonese opera stage to be on the hot search, and there are so many netizens who want to learn about Cantonese opera, isn't it a great thing?"
Another member spoke: "That's what I said, but it also depends on whether it's really a Cantonese opera stage, and it's not a Cantonese opera stage at all." This will only cause netizens to have a wrong perception, and that stage does not show the essence of Cantonese opera at all. ”
Another member said: "But you have to understand one thing, what is the essence of Cantonese opera?" Is it easy to understand? If it is not easy to understand, then the congenital nature cannot spread very widely. There are gains and losses, and nothing can have the best of both worlds. ”
"No, this stage is the wrong stage, if it's just a pure stage hot search, I have nothing to say, but since it is labeled as a Cantonese opera stage, it must be treated with the standards of Cantonese opera. Although mistakes can spread widely, what is wrong is wrong. ”
Some members feel that these members are too old-fashioned.
"This stage is not a pure Cantonese opera stage, just like the costumes in Cantonese opera, do you wear costumes to the streets, because this costume is not used to perform Cantonese opera, so you have to deny that others are not wearing Cantonese opera costumes? This stage is indeed interspersed with Cantonese opera singing, although those few tones are different from the traditional tone, but it is also Cantonese opera! ”
"I support this stage, and I think there should be more such stages, only when people are interested, will they learn about Cantonese opera, and attract more people to become Cantonese opera lovers!"
"It's ridiculous, you still want to promote such a stage, is this to force Cantonese opera to become more nondescript?" A silent assistant elder finally couldn't sit still and spoke.
This co-elder spoke, and other co-elders also spoke.
"It has been very difficult for Cantonese opera to be passed down to this day, and we have always been committed to ensuring that the essence of Cantonese opera is not lost. If such a stage is promoted, Cantonese opera will become nondescript! ”
"Yes, now it's just singing and inserting a few words of pop music, in case in the future, on the traditional Cantonese opera stage, a few ordinary Cantonese words are suddenly inserted into the Cantonese opera dialogue, is it still called Cantonese opera, or is it still the Cantonese opera that we have been protecting?"
"To promote this new type of stage, it is necessary to dig up the roots of Cantonese opera!"
Xie Lao said indignantly that the other members who supported this stage were not as many as them, so they could only hold back and have to be silent.
Cui Ziyu's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
He was about to speak, when the door to the conference room opened.
Ding Daqi strode in.
"Honorary Elder!"
"Master Ding, why are you here?"
Cui Ziyu didn't dare to slack off, quickly stood up, welcomed Ding Taiqi in, and even gave up his position, standing aside willingly.
For the Cantonese Opera Association, a master like Ding Taiqi is a treasure in their association, no, a treasure of the entire Cantonese opera industry!
Because of them, the Cantonese Opera Association flourished in the last century.
Ding Taiqi waved his crutches and said with a full sense of anger: "I don't sit, I just stand." ”
His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's eye, scanning the others in the room.
Among the present, Ding Taiqi is the oldest, the most senior, and the most prominent.
"Come over today, the old man just wants to say a few words, you continue to discuss yours, don't care about me."
Cui Ziyu hurriedly said: "What instructions does Elder Ding have, just give me orders." ”
The others also chimed in and said, "Yes, Ding Lao just made a phone call, and he didn't have to come over in person." ”
"What you tell us, we will do."
"Your opinion is invaluable!"
Ding Taiqi said lightly: "I heard that you have a lot of opinions about the music stage "Waiting for You to Return" created by my little apprentice? ”
Everyone choked on their words and did not dare to speak out.
They secretly discussed that it was okay, but to criticize his little apprentice in front of Master Tintage did not have the courage or the face.
There are even some people, hearing Ding Taiqi say this, their eyes flickering, and they have already guessed the purpose of his trip.
Tintage smacked the ground with his cane, making the sound of the gold stones clashing.
"This stage was completed under my supervision."
Youxie's brows furrowed, and some people gasped.
They remember that Maestro Ding Taiqi was very opposed to the innovation of Cantonese opera, and was a conservative in Cantonese opera, advocating the preservation of the purity of traditional Cantonese opera.
Since this stage is supervised by him, isn't he......
Ding Taiqi's tone was very light, but the meaning was very heavy: "Cantonese opera is already lonely." ”
Everyone was speechless for a while.
Cantonese opera, lonely.
