Chapter 395: The Grapevine of the New Variety Show
"Dramatic songs, Mr. Zhang."
Jiang Kan respectfully answered his question.
"Yes, joking songs."
Zhang Lao nodded, gave him an affirmative smile, and then turned his head and faced the delegates in the audience.
"This is a new form of artistic expression, a form of artistic expression that we have never heard or seen before, which fully integrates the pop elements of pop songs and the opera elements of our traditional opera art, organically blending them together, bringing a new auditory experience to the audience."
"I have to say that this new form of song is still very catchy, right? Lao Liao, I just saw you slap your thigh with a fan, right, did you hear it well? Haha~"
He smiled at the middle-aged man in the audience who had a gray beard, a bald head, and a flower paper fan in his hand.
"There are also many people who don't like this kind of song, thinking that it is a bit different, traditional and not traditional, and pop is not popular......
"But have you ever thought that although this music is a new form of music created by Xiao Jiang, some people think that it is neither traditional nor popular...... But in other words, can it also be said to be both traditional and new?"
"It's ear-scratching, you can't deny that, right?"
"It's actually pretty good, you can't deny it, right? Especially you, Lao Li, you are the old stubborn who adheres to the original opera style the most, but when Xiao Jiang sang those few words of drama just now, didn't your eyes also light up, and your eyes glared at Xiao Jiang non-stop?"
Zhang Lao nodded slightly, and the smile on his face was even bigger.
"This means that this new art form created by Xiao Jiang can completely attract the audience and be welcomed by the people! Even you old stubborns think that his songs are meritorious, so will the young people who are the easiest to absorb new things feel the same way?"
"Will they also like to listen to such semi-pop and semi-opera songs written by Jiang Kan, and gradually arouse some interest and thinking in the art of opera?"
"We don't have to ask that our opera be written in a form that combines pop and tradition, like 'The New Concubine Drunk'."
"Rather, if there are more such songs on the market, will the new generation of young people who have completely abandoned the opera culture regain some interest in our traditional culture?"
"Through this new form of song, which Comrade Xiao Jiang named as "opera" songs, it constantly attracts new fans and new people to listen, and then makes them spontaneously develop curiosity and appreciation for the elements of this part of the opera in the song, and finally turn into a love for our traditional opera itself?"
"This is the most popular method of "drainage" in many industries on the market now!"
The more Zhang Lao talked on stage, the more excited he became, and everyone in the audience gradually understood what he meant.
"This drainage is the same as the twisted and twisted fairy advertisements that pop up when my grandson is playing on the computer, right?"
In the audience, an old man asked his friends beside him.
"What's that called...... Web Ads! Click in to the so-called browser game! It's not quite the same thing when he says it, it's like using a simplified version of a children's excavator toy for children to play with, and then becoming interested in real excavators and wanting to grow up to be an excavator worker."
This friend of his is a person who understands, and he has already understood what Zhang Lao said so much.
And with his explanation, more people in the audience understood his idea and nodded and praised.
Even the old-fashioned people who were a little opposed at the beginning and felt that this kind of song was not an opera at all were a little moved, thinking that maybe this was a good way to expand the publicity?
"Therefore, my idea is to rely on this simplified version of the opera form created by Comrade Xiao Jiang to improve the popularity and popularity of our opera in a more popular way, so as to subtly influence the current ones that are not at all
If the minds of the younger generation who watch, don't listen, or come into contact with traditional opera, even if it's just a little bit, it's a very good start!"
Jiang Kan listened to his words, and silently thought about whether this method was really feasible.
After all, at the beginning, he only passively obtained this song from the system by opening the treasure chest, it can be said that everything is recommended by the system, he just passively accepted it, and did not think about such a profound problem.
But now it seems that perhaps the system has thought of this a long time ago, and handed over this song to him, just so that he can contribute to the promotion of traditional opera art as Zhang Lao said?
"Okay, can you talk about your opinions, or if you have any new ideas, that's why we're gathered here today."
After finishing his "tirade", Zhang Lao leaned back and sat back in his chair.
At this time, the audience was already in an uproar, and the delegates were all talking.
After discussing it again for a long time, a group of old artists who could make Jiang Kan call him uncle and uncle, or even grandparents, finally finished the discussion.
They came to the conclusion that Jiang Kan's art form could be supported.
"We must not only start from ourselves and try our best to create more opera programs that the people like to see, but also keep pace with the times and eliminate many outdated content and creative forms in the original creative process!"
"Especially those recitations and singing passages that are too long and protracted, and those that are too noisy and noisy with music and instruments—this is especially necessary for operas such as Sichuan Opera, which are constantly loud and earth-shattering...... All of them need to be simplified properly!"
"Don't give young audiences who have never heard opera the impression that this is a noisy and vulgar art form!"
Elder Wang on the stage also said some of his summaries, and some representatives in the audience listened with relish, but some of the personnel showed disdainful expressions.
"Our theatre art should be more modern, modern, keep up with the trend of the times, and create more works that are closely related to people's lives. In this process, it is also quite meaningful to simplify and popularize the genre appropriately!"
"And a brand-new "drama" song like Comrade Xiao Jiang, we should also vigorously advocate and carry forward! He can effectively attract the interest and resonance of contemporary young people in our opera art, and there will always be a part of the audience who will begin to fall in love with opera, so that we can achieve our goal of promoting national cultural traditions!"
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, in the future, you must work harder to create more similar new dramatic arts, or rather, the kind of works you call "opera songs"!"
Wang Lao looked at Jiang Kan, who had returned to the audience and sat down, with earnest eyes, and instructed quite preciously.
"I will, please rest assured that Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, and all the seniors in the art world!"
Jiang Kan immediately stood up and solemnly expressed his attitude.
His move has also won the nod and approval of many old artists.
"Well, this young man is not bad, if we can help him in the future, don't be stingy."
Many of them thought so.
"Therefore, in order to commend Comrade Jiang Kan for the new inspiration and direction he has brought to our traditional drama art, the organizing committee of our conference unanimously decided to award Comrade Jiang Kan the status of "Lifetime Honorary Member of Xia Guo Opera Culture Development Association"! I also hope that he will be able to create more opera and drama songs that can promote and carry forward our opera art in the future!"
"In the future, Comrade Xiao Jiang will be our own person, so everyone should take care of him more!"
As soon as Wang Lao's words fell, there was a warm applause from the audience.
To be able to unite from the pop music scene to such a composer and singer with great influence, the hearts of the old men are also very gratifying.
This warm applause frightened Jiang Kan to stand up again and respectfully bend to the Quartet in return.
And he
Such a humble behavior made the old comrades quite satisfied with him, and the applause was even more intense.
Zhang Lingling, who was sitting next to him, was already smiling like a hibiscus flower in the wind, both hands were already clapping red and still clapping vigorously, and her eyes also showed extremely gratifying waves.
"How do you feel?"
After the meeting, it was already evening, and the two walked out of the venue to the cooperative hotel of Feiyang Yanjing Branch.
"It's good, I can contribute to the traditional art of our Xia Kingdom."
Jiang Kan had a sacred expression on his face, and for the first time he felt that his job was more than just a job.
In the past, when I worked in an IT company, everyone was in it for a salary, and sometimes I thought about making a good game that players all over the country and players around the world liked and worshipped, so that I would be famous for all ages.
But such an idea is actually very unrealistic.
Most game company owners set up this company with the aim of making money.
Promoting culture and art?
Purify people's three views?
Or is it a more magnificent way to show the world the excellent cultural ideas and traditions of our country?
NO。
It is impossible, with a team of dozens or hundreds of people, the monthly salary is millions, the rent is hundreds of thousands, and all kinds of taxes and fees are hundreds of thousands or millions......
How can it be just to promote something, to promote something?
That's all after the abundance of food and clothing, and the progress of thinking.
But now that Jiang Kan has entered the cultural industry, he has discovered this possibility.
Since these old-timers think so highly of themselves, they will work hard in this area in the future, and I believe that the system will support them.
"Oh yes, the variety show I mentioned to you before has some more definite rumors now."
In the nanny car sent by the Yanjing branch to pick them up, Zhang Lingling mentioned another thing to Jiang Kan.
"Oh? What do you say?"
Jiang Kan quickly adjusted his mentality and began to focus on the current topic.
"That's right, primarily speaking, this show is still a music-type variety show, similar to a talent show, but with a lot of competitive elements."
Zhang Lingling took out her phone and opened a memo.
"At present, the situation of the program we have found seems to say that anyone can sign up."
"But we have to conduct a primary selection in the region first, and then fight it layer by layer, and finally the champions, runners-up and third runners-up from all over the country will go to the city where the organizer is located to conduct a national finals."
"And the songs you choose must be the latest and trendiest songs on the charts at the time, and then it seems that you have to PK with the original singer of this song or something...... It seems that they haven't completely decided on the rules in this regard, anyway, it is a popular national talent show."
"Hmm...... It sounds quite interesting, but it means that you can't choose outdated songs that are too old and too old, you have to use current popular songs, right? That's like promoting the singers' competition for the new song chart every month, this is to muddy the water and put a lot of catfish in it......
"Yes, it is conceivable that the singers will definitely not be able to roll up in the two months when this show was recorded......
Zhang Lingling can also imagine that scene, the singers and the companies behind the singers will definitely pay more price in order to make their songs more advanced and be selected by more contestants of the show.
Once a song is selected to be sung many times, especially in the final stage, it is a huge promotion platform, which is equivalent to a huge amount of publicity traffic for your own song, and the benefits are really self-evident.
And if they can really PK with the original singers, then the motivation of those contestants will be particularly sufficient, this is a super good opportunity for them to show their faces in front of the national audience, and no one will give up such a big one
of temptation.
"Moreover, if this show is really successful, there will be a big "surprise" waiting for you!"
Zhang Lingling suddenly thought of something and smiled slyly at Jiang Kan.
"A big surprise? Xiao Zhang, don't sell it, can you finish it all at once?"
"Okay, that's an old acquaintance who will be the chief director of this show, guess who?"
"No, could it be that Huang Shengcai is an old boy again?"
Jiang Kan was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously blurted out.
"Oh? Brother Kan, you are such a god, you guessed it right at once!"
Zhang Lingling opened her mouth wide in surprise and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Is it really him? I'll go, this guy is really haunted, why is he everywhere!"
Jiang Kan rubbed his temples with a little headache, everyone had suffered a lot from him in "The Good Singer of Xia Kingdom" before, but I didn't expect to deal with him again after a few months, it's really a life where we don't meet!
