After rebirth, the system helped me debut as the center

Under Ning Chaoyan's arrangement, the members of Sparkle.E spent a comfortable day.

The members did not stay at the Royal Hot Springs, but returned the same way after a whole day of happy hot springs.

Because Ning Chaoyan had other plans for the next day.

The members were all very curious about tomorrow's schedule, but Ning Chaoyan just smiled and said nothing, acting mysterious and there would be no surprise if they told her.

The next morning, they stood backstage at the Peking Opera House, looking at the busy backstage with people coming and going, feeling a little helpless.

That’s right, Ning Chaoyan’s schedule for the second day was to learn Peking Opera.

After a day of relaxing yesterday, it’s time to get moving today.

Manager Li of the Peking Opera Theater is a classmate of Ning Chaoyan’s instructor at Kyoto Dance Academy, Teacher Tang. It was through Teacher Tang’s matchmaking that this collaboration was made possible.

Today, although various traditional arts including Peking Opera carry rich cultural connotations and historical heritage, they still face considerable challenges with the changes of the times.

The pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster. Under the impact of fast-paced entertainment methods such as short videos and short dramas, traditional skills such as Peking Opera seem to be unpopular, the audience group is shrinking, and inheritance and promotion are also facing difficulties.

However, practitioners of traditional arts such as Peking Opera and the government are now aware of these problems and are actively seeking breakthroughs, trying to combine traditional art with modern elements.

Manager Li is one of the practitioners who is actively seeking breakthroughs.

It was also through this opportunity that Ning Chaoyan had the chance to bring all the members of Sparkle.E to shoot a group variety show and learn a Peking Opera at the theater.

They were standing there waiting when a man came over from a distance. It was Manager Li, whom Ning Chaoyan had met in Teacher Tang's office before.

Manager Li is enthusiastic and cheerful. When he opens his mouth, his voice is as loud as a bell and full of energy.

"I'm sorry. I was supposed to meet you at the door, but unfortunately, I had some urgent matters to attend to at the theater, so I was delayed for a while." Manager Li glanced at his apprentice standing beside him and continued, "I hope I didn't neglect you."

As the agent, Han Xiaoxiao is of course responsible for this kind of coordination work.

She also hurried forward with a smile and greeted, "You are welcome. This young master showed us around and really broadened our horizons. We are sorry to trouble you with our sudden visit."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for several rounds before getting down to business.

Manager Li looked at Ning Chaoyan and the others with a kind smile on his face and asked, "None of the girls have learned Peking Opera, right?"

The members all nodded honestly.

It is hard to say whether many of them have ever learned Peking Opera, or even formally watched a complete Peking Opera in a theater.

Manager Li nodded in understanding.

When Teacher Tang introduced the members of Sparkle.E, he had already told Manager Li that they were only here for a short period of time to learn about Peking Opera.

It just so happened that Manager Li also wanted to leverage Sparkle.E’s popularity among young people to promote Peking Opera.

As a result, the two parties were able to reach an agreement on this cooperation so quickly.

Knowing that they only had one day and that it was more about experiencing rather than studying seriously, Manager Li was not in a hurry to take them to learn the basic skills of singing, reciting, acting and fighting. Instead, he first took them to visit the theater and talked about the origin and history of Peking Opera.

Manager Li led the way while saying, "Peking opera originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Hui opera entered Beijing and merged with other opera forms, and gradually became the current Peking opera..."

Manager Li told the story in a leisurely manner, singing a classic song from time to time. The members listened with great interest and concentration.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also discussing enthusiastically.

[They actually came to learn Peking Opera today. I thought they would continue their leisure and entertainment mode. ]

[It’s good to learn Peking Opera, which is the essence of Chinese culture. You can also add these traditional elements to future albums to promote traditional culture.]

[Several Chinese-style performances in "Light Chasers" have become very popular, and Sparkle.E can definitely develop in this area. 】

[Speaking of the national style stage, I think of my poor "General", woo woo woo, it could have been a god-level stage. ]

[The soul of the national style stage - Ning Chaoyan. 】

[Ning Chaoyan herself must also like traditional culture, otherwise why would she form a group to learn Peking Opera. ]

[I have only seen the front stage before, but I didn’t expect to be able to see the behind-the-scenes of Peking Opera by following a girl group’s variety show. ]

[Did you see the apprentices practicing just now? They are just little kids, but those moves look so difficult. ]

【Peking opera emphasizes the skills of a child. It is said that one minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage. This is not just talk.】

【So what will they teach them in a day? 】

[They can only learn the basics. For the members of Sparkle.E, the focus is more on understanding this traditional art. For the theater, rather than treating them as apprentices, it is more about promoting this traditional art so that it can appear in the public eye and show its charm.]

[It’s just a win-win situation. It’s not easy to pass on traditional art. 】

After Manager Li showed the members around, he took them into the practice room and began formal teaching.

Manager Li was originally a martial artist, but because he had been injured on stage and could no longer withstand the difficult stage movements, he had no choice but to switch to logistics.

Although he has been away from the stage for some years, Manager Li has a solid foundation and was once a well-known figure. He has been working in the theater for many years and often practices basic skills with the actors.

He is more than qualified to teach Ning Chaoyan and other laymen.

Ning Chaoyan and the others changed into their training clothes under the guidance of the theater staff.

Looking at the young girls standing in a row, looking at him with clear eyes, Manager Li's heart softened involuntarily and his tone became gentle.

"Due to the lack of time, today we will just learn the basic skills of Peking Opera and then learn a classic segment of The Drunken Concubine," said Manager Li. "Although the performance will not be long, it will give everyone a chance to experience the opera, which is worth the trip."

It was Manager Li who applied for permission to allow them to perform on stage after much debate.

In the eyes of some more traditional people, allowing a few children who have only learned for one day to perform on the stage is disrespectful to the stage.

But Manager Li felt that since they were going to do publicity, they couldn't stick to the old ways.

Only when young people are interested will they come to understand, watch, and even learn Peking Opera.

Only in this way can the art of Peking Opera be revitalized and have endless vitality.
