Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 125 Inheritance and Promotion

After a digression, the three of them then chatted about some anecdotes about Liyuan and anecdotes about famous actresses.

When talking about the glory of Peking Opera, it is natural to also pay attention to the current situation of Peking Opera.

Therefore, Luo Jinhai asked warmly: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, you said that you have experienced Peking Opera from its heyday in your life, and then you have come to today step by step. Some people say that Peking Opera has declined now, or that the audience is getting bigger and bigger. Less and less, what do you think of this?"

Zhou Linsheng frowned and thought for a while, then seriously replied: "Oh, this question is a bit hard to explain. The audience is small. If you compare it with the past, it must be less, or compared with the audience of pop music, movies, and TV dramas, it is even less. Pitiful.

But if you want to conclude that Peking Opera has declined, it is not necessarily true. "

Hearing Zhou Linsheng's words, Luo Jinhai couldn't help but show curiosity: "Oh, how do you say this?"

Looking up at Luo Jinhai, Zhou Linsheng thought about it and said: "First of all, the inheritance of Peking Opera has never been broken, and its artistic achievements are unattainable compared to other art forms.

Moreover, there are still many people who really like Peking Opera. It is irreplaceable. If you really get into it and become a fan of the opera, it will be a lifetime. If you watch other entertainment at that time, it will be just as tasteless.

Therefore, as long as Peking Opera continues to be passed down and new fans are continuously attracted, Peking Opera will not really decline. "

"That's very well said. Mr. Zhou's words directly hit the point. The main issue now is how to continuously attract new fans of Peking Opera."

After listening to Zhou Linsheng's words, Luo Jinhai also expressed his views frankly: "To be honest with you, although I am the host of two opera programs, "National Youth Peking Opera Actors TV Competition" and "Pink Life", I In recent years, it was because of these jobs that I came into contact with Peking Opera and fell in love with it.

Of course, I am only a junior fan now, and I am not as professional as the two of you.

So, what I say is completely from a layman’s perspective.

When I was listening to Mr. Zhou just now, I kept thinking about a question, that is, why I didn’t like watching Peking Opera before. Headache.

I concluded that one is the reason of age, and it is also related to the threshold of Peking Opera.

When I was young, I couldn't settle down, and I preferred novelty and simpler things.

When we mentioned Peking Opera today, it is an elegant art, not something for your entertainment.

Before going to the theater, should I burn incense and bathe, and be mentally prepared to receive edification and baptism?

I think that many young people now have the same idea as I did before, thinking that it is too heavy, and it is better to stay away from it.

What does Boss Shen think about this issue? "

After listening to Luo Jinhai’s thoughts, Shen Yuelou also had some thoughts of his own: “It is a misunderstanding in itself to regard Peking Opera as an elegant art that can only be viewed from a distance but not enjoyed.

In the past, Peking Opera was originally a very popular and entertaining thing, but later, with the emergence of more popular things such as movies, TV dramas, and pop music, Peking Opera has become a difficult art.

In fact, the stories told in Peking Opera repertoires are similar to those in movies and TV dramas, and even many movies and TV drama scripts are directly adapted from Peking Opera,..."

Zhou Linsheng sighed: "Misreading, in the final analysis, is due to the insufficient promotion and popularization of Peking Opera culture.

If we want to change the current situation that Peking Opera has fewer and fewer young audiences, a superstar must appear in the Peking Opera world. Young audiences will use him as a window to see the colorful flowers in the Peking Opera world, so they can open the door and walk in to truly experience Peking Opera. Art is so much fun. "

Hearing Zhou Linsheng's opinion, Shen Yuelou nodded slowly: "I have been taught."

Shen Yuelou has always been willing to try the promotion and popularization of Peking Opera culture, but he couldn't come up with any effective plan.

It takes a lot of trouble to produce a variety show related to Peking opera like "The Rise of Chinese Drama: Youth Season", let alone attracting young people who don't like listening to opera into the theater.

Now, after hearing Zhou Linsheng's words, Shen Yuelou did have some thoughts in his mind.

Love House and Wu, let non-theater fans come into contact with Peking Opera because they like themselves.

"A superstar in the Peking Opera world? I'm afraid it's not easy."

Luo Jinhai asked directly: "Then Mr. Zhou thinks who in the troupe can take on this important task?"

"It's just a few people. It's not about who's artistic attainment is high or low. It has something to do with age and image. Even if the older generation of famous Peking Opera actors have high artistic attainments, it is difficult for most young people to like them."

Zhou Linsheng took a look at Shen Yuelou, and said with a light smile: "Boss Shen is naturally one of them, Lin Yanqiu from Shenjiang Peking Opera Theater can be counted as one, Li Shaobai from Spring and Autumn Drama Club, and Chen Tiemei from Peking Opera Troupe of Huaxia Peking Opera Theater are a little less popular , others are even further behind."

Hearing Zhou Linsheng's daring words, Luo Jinhai quickly laughed and disregarded the relationship: "Hahaha, the above offending conclusions are all Mr. Zhou's own opinions, and have nothing to do with the position of this program.

I also ask Mr. Shaobai, Boss Chen, and many famous opera artists in Liyuan to be more considerate.

Lovely life, see you after the ad. "

The host Luo Jinhai played an advertisement in the middle of the mouth, and then immediately turned back: "Next Saturday, we will be recording the qualifiers for the Qingjing Tournament. Which one is Boss Shen going to sing?"

Shen Yuelou smiled lightly and replied: "This time it's a new play called "Yutang Chun". I sang a part in a drama before."

"A drama? Is it "Returning on a Snowy Night" co-operated with director Lin Sinan of Renyi?

I heard colleagues talk about this play, and they spoke highly of it.

Hehe, since you have sung it, it is not considered a spoiler.

At the end of the show, can you sing that excerpt again for the audience? "

Hearing Luo Jinhai's words, Zhou Linsheng looked at Shen Yuelou expectantly.

The hospitality is hard to turn down, Shen Yuelou could only nod and said: "Okay, then I will sing a short section for everyone."

"Haha, then Mr. Zhou and I are really blessed."

Luo Jinhai and Zhou Linsheng applauded together, the camera showed Shen Yuelou, and Shen Yuelou sang a short chorus:

"Su San left Hongtong County and came to the main street.

My heart is miserable before I speak, the gentlemen of the past listen to me:

Which one will go to Yanjing to pass the letter on to my Saburo.

It is said that Su San's life will be cut off, and I will repay it if I become a dog and a horse in the next life.

……

Okay, that's all for singing, show your ugliness. "

As soon as Shen Yuelou opened his mouth, Zhou Linsheng immediately closed his eyes.

While shaking his head, he patted his legs, savoring the charm of it.

A brisk and smooth sipi flowing water sounds really enjoyable.

Until Shen Yuelou finished singing, Zhou Linsheng still hadn't escaped from the numb state.

Luo Jinhai laughed loudly and said: "I really can't get enough of it, I think Mr. Zhou is fascinated by it."

Zhou Linsheng came back to his senses: "The tone is pleasant and refreshing. If this play is staged, this episode will definitely become popular in Liyuan."

……

The recording of the "Pink Life" program ended amidst laughter and laughter. After Shen Yuelou and Zhou Linsheng exchanged contact information, they walked out of the NO.17 studio together.
