Chapter 44: May the spirit of opera be passed on from generation to generation!
Jiang Qin's "Thank you" pulled everyone back to reality from Chiling's story.
Everyone gave the warmest applause from the bottom of their hearts, and even a few audience members took the initiative to give a standing ovation and applaud loudly!
Then, the surrounding audience also gave a standing ovation, and the applause lasted for a long time.
In the footage captured by the cameraman arranged by the organizer, many viewers had red eyes, and it was obvious that they had cried. Although the thoughts are withdrawn, the emotions are obviously still deeply trapped in the song.
The two hosts appeared on the stage again, standing beside Jiang Qin, one left and one right.
"Thank you Ms. Jiang Qin for bringing us a wonderful performance and giving us the privilege of enjoying an audio-visual feast."
After the male host took the lead in praising Jiang Qin's performance, the female host took over the conversation cooperatively.
"It's not hard to feel that this is an extremely rich song, and if I guess correctly, the song even includes the singing of Kunqu opera."
"It just so happens that one of our judges this year is the leader of my country's opera industry - Mr. Shi Siyuan, so I want to ask, does Mr. Shi Siyuan have anything he wants to share with our audience after hearing this song?"
The hostess said, looking at Teacher Shi Siyuan, who was sitting in the first row of judges' seats under the stage. The audience in the back row also looked over.
It was an old man who looked to be over the age of six, and although his hair was half white, he was in a good state of mind, and his eyes were bright.
This is because, since he was a child and studied opera, decades of practicing and singing have laid a solid foundation for him.
Hearing the question, the theater master pulled the microphone on the table closer to him.
"I was surprised to hear this song today, and there are several reasons for this."
"First of all, Ms. Jiang's fusion of opera singing with modern pop songs is a bold and brilliant idea.
The performance pays the most attention to the 'voice table', that is, the vocal music, lines, body and performance.
Miss Jiang performed well in the singing just now. The resonance of the drama hits the heart directly, the words and sentences are condensed and the connotation is heavy, the eye waves flow to convey the feelings, and the gestures completely convey this tragic story and the emotions of the people in the song to the audience. ”
This can be said to be the highest praise given to the artist's performance.
After hearing this, the audience shouted wonderful, because they also felt the same way, but they didn't know how to describe it appropriately, and the judges used his profound professional background to tell everyone's voice.
Jiang Qin raised the microphone and bowed to Master Shi Siyuan to thank him.
The old man then commented: "Let's talk about the second point, the lyrics of this song "Red Ling" are amazingly rich in connotation. I just heard that this is Miss Jiang's original song, and I am very pleased to see that our country has such a young generation who cherish their family and country and are full of talent. ”
When he said this, the old man's voice seemed to be slightly choked, but he quickly adjusted and picked up a piece of paper from the table, on which were written a few lyrics, which he had recorded when he had just listened to Jiang Qin's singing.
"I dare not forget the country, even if no one knows me."
I think this lyric is the life creed of Chi Ling in the song.
From the audience's point of view, I also feel the deep hope conveyed by Miss Jiang through Chiling's story: as a man in troubled times, he still 'does not dare to forget the country', let alone us in this era? ”
This passage caused the audience to think deeply.
Although China is now in an era of peace, when we go out to see the outside world, we will know that some countries are constantly at war all year round, and our peace seems to come easily, but in fact, it embodies the efforts and efforts of countless people behind it.
Against the backdrop of peace, the country is also facing a lot of internal and external troubles.
As the master of this land, a member of China, while enjoying peace, we should also understand that we have a responsibility.
Master Shi Siyuan's voice continued.
"This Chi Ling reminds me of many anti-Japanese fighters of that era: Master Mei Lanfang resolutely grew a beard and resolutely refused to perform for the invaders; Master Cheng Yanqiu resolutely stabbed the invaders. Their heroic deeds have gone down in history. ”
The old man's calm and vigorous voice was full of a sense of history, and his voice changed, as if reminiscing about the past, and then said: "'Xizi' was once classified into the lower nine popular columns, which is the sorrow caused by history. ”
"Since the day of the rebirth of the Chinese nation, the recognition of the state has endowed us with the dignity of opera people, and every opera person, like the public, is the master of the country and a member of the people.
Like thousands of Chinese people, with a passionate heart, we will jointly protect our home and country. ”
This passage received applause from countless audiences, and everyone nodded frequently in agreement. I really feel that with the development of the times, many things have changed over the years.
The old man slowed down his tone and continued: "Today, we have actors and singers, artists and stars, the form of performance has changed slightly, and the title is different from the past. ”
"However, the phenomenon of dividing people into three, six, nine, and so on according to their occupation seems to still exist today."
"On the Internet, it is not uncommon to use soldiers, scientists and other professions to belittle celebrities. In this regard, I hope you can see from the story in Miss Jiang's song: It is very narrow to distinguish between high and low people based on their profession alone. ”
Jiang Qin on the stage nodded, she sang this song, and indeed had the idea of using Chiling's story to express this point of view.
However, some of the audience seemed to have a different opinion.
"Don't scientists and military people contribute more than stars? Why aren't they nobler? ”
"Aren't the sacrifices of soldiers and the results of scientists' research greater than singing and acting?"
There were also many viewers who agreed with the judges' point of view, and after hearing those rebuttals, they did not show weakness to go back.
"They are in different fields and have different divisions of labor, what is there to compare to this?"
"It's like driving a car with gasoline and tires, they have different functions and functions, but both are indispensable. The country is like that car, each of us does a different job, in order to cooperate and make the car drive more smoothly, not to fight with each other for high and low! ”
"That's right! It's outrageous to put everything aside and compare careers! ”
Hearing the discussion of the audience behind him, Peng Qianzhi, who was sitting in the judges' seat with Master Shi Siyuan, couldn't help but blush.
Because he had rudely thought that literati were superior to the first class of drama, he never thought that his ideological realm was inferior to that of ordinary audiences.
Master Shi Siyuan then explained: "I say this because I am worried that some young artists, or friends who want to be artists, may be troubled by the evaluation and vision of others. ”
"I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words to you.
He is in awe of his acting career and is improving his business day after day. Look up to the sky, bow down to people. At that point, what if others slander me? Rumors will be dispelled. ”
These words were also taught to me by my master when I was a beginner in opera. I hope that this spirit of excellence can be passed on from generation to generation! ”
"Presumably, by that time, Huaxia Entertainment will create a glory that is different from the history of opera!"
