Chapter 341
Being tricked
As soon as Xu Qing said this, Cheng Li and Xia Zhimei couldn't help but look at each other. Xu Qing saw that look clearly because these two guys had no cover at all.
Their eyes were clearly saying: As expected, I knew that this kid would definitely be able to say something after tying.
Xu Qing’s first reaction was, Damn, I was tricked.
Really, I was definitely tricked by these two guys.
They probably don't believe in any layout or plan.
Yes, even if you have to cooperate with the National Song and Dance Troupe to build a dance drama, how can you get rid of the Peking Opera theater when you are engaged in Peking Opera? You are a new company and don’t have enough talent reserves, so you can only borrow people from them.
I know this truth myself. Both of these guys are leaders, so it is impossible not to be clear about it.
Cheng Li, Cheng Li, why are you embarrassed to say in front of Su Chenwei that I have a lot of heart and you have a lot of heart?
Just when Xu Qing wanted to repent and say something casually, Xia Zhimei suddenly stood up and said to Xu Qing: "Wait a moment, Teacher Xu, I'll get a notebook and write it down."
Well, Teacher Xu called it all, this really made me stand up. If this was a mess, it would be my own person.
Sure enough, no one who can become a leader is stupid.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked at Ye Sitang and Qi Xi, who were still in the fog.
Don’t be fools, take a look, these are your direct seniors, learn a little.
When Xia Zhimei took a notebook and sat next to her like a good student, she was waiting for Xu Qing to speak.
Xu Qing said helplessly: "Teacher Xia, you are a famous actor in Peking Opera. You said, why did Peking Opera be so popular back then?"
"Si Tang, you are going to learn Peking Opera with me soon. What do you think?" Xia Zhimei did not answer, but threw the ball directly to Ye Sitang.
When Ye Sitang heard this question at first, she wanted to say something about the masters and many famous actors at the time, but then she thought that something was wrong and she couldn't say that. It was definitely not the reason. She thought for a while and said, "Because there was no entertainment at that time?"
"What do you think, Teacher Xu?" Xia Zhimei turned her head and asked Xu Qing again.
"There are reasons for this, but there were other dramas at that time. Why is the only Peking Opera so popular?" Xu Qing continued to ask.
Xia Zhimei did not answer, but turned to look at Ye Sitang.
Ye Sitang didn't expect that this topic would come to her head, and sweat suddenly appeared on her head. Why did she get ready for the exam after eating well?
Xu Qing looked at this scene and wanted to laugh. Xia Zhimei's handling method was very interesting. If there were no Qi Xi and Ye Sitang, she would definitely not have dealt with it like this.
But now she has a future apprentice in person. She must maintain her majesty as a teacher and cannot show her timidity. But she doesn't know Xu Qing's conversation style, so she can only let Ye Sitang and Xu Qing talk first and adapt to it first
adapt.
"Because there are many rich people in the capital?" Ye Sitang said.
"That's right, it's okay." Xu Qing didn't wait for Xia Zhimei to look at him before answering, nor did he continue to ask Ye Sitang other questions. He also had to maintain the image of his own artist.
So, Xu Qing continued: "As long as the audience's artistic performance is needed, the audience's aesthetic level will inevitably determine the upper and lower limits of this artistic performance.
There were several advantages to the Peking Opera being able to get up at that time. First, its pronunciation and singing were in line with the language habits of the capital, including several surrounding places.
In other places, except for local people, audiences in other places cannot understand the dramas, and it was impossible to release subtitles in real time at that time. The more in line with local language habits, the easier it is to understand the information.
This brings a second advantage. The capital is the political and cultural center. This popular drama genre naturally has the advantage of geographical advantages.
If you like something from above, you will follow it. Therefore, Peking Opera became more and more popular at that time, and other local operas could not compare.
The third advantage is that Peking Opera is the one with the least connotation compared to other non-local dramas at that time, so there are naturally many audiences."
"The most unconnotation? You're wrong, Brother Qing." Ye Sitang widened his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Is Peking Opera unconnotation?"
"Teacher Xia, what do you think?" Xu Qing did not answer, but turned to look at Xia Zhimei.
Xia Zhimei paused for a moment, then nodded helplessly and said, "It's indeed the one with the least connotation."
"Many lyrics, lyrics, plots, and characters in Peking Opera cannot stand the craftsmanship. Many famous operas are no different from those film and television dramas that are not in line with history today. They are all products that are artistically reprocessed in order to meet the preferences of the audience at that time.
.
Moreover, whether it is lyrics or pronunciation, it is not very profound at all. In strict terms, it is just the plain language at that time. It is really eight streets worse than what Tang Xianzu wrote.
Also, many Peking Opera audiences liked to watch the dramas, but they were actually small fan operas. Many of the dramas we see now were also small fan operas before, and they were adapted. What was the singing of "Xie Yaohuan" before the adaptation of the adaptation of "Xie Yaohuan"
Teacher Xia should know the thing better than me.”
"What is a little fan show?" Qi Xi asked.
"As a fan drama, you can tell what it is if you think about it." Xu Qing fooled it, and then continued: "I said this not to belittle Peking Opera. I am objectively analyzing why Peking Opera became popular.
How it became popular at the beginning, how can it be saved now?
In fact, the Peking Opera seniors have already told us what to do. We can learn from our predecessors now, but it is not that complicated."
"Brother Qing, it's illegal to have a fan show now." Ye Sitang suddenly said.
"Is your brain Wat? Who said you're going to have a fan show?" Xu Qing was speechless for a moment. Why can't this kid hear the point?
Don’t just listen to dirty things just because you are dirty.
"You mean to demote the aesthetics of Peking Opera?" Cheng Li was not Ye Sitang, but he understood what Xu Qing meant.
"It's right or wrong. It's not aesthetic relegation, but content innovation. What the audience likes, they use the form of drama to express it. With the retaining of the performance form of drama, they can make some popular content.
When making these things, don’t consider the connotation, education, culture, etc. In order to get the audience into the beginning, some of the audience will naturally turn to more connotational and more classic plays, so that they can make
Peking Opera is rejuvenating for the second spring," said Xu Qing.
"How can this be done? No one will agree. The connotation that has finally been improved is not advisable." Xia Zhimei said immediately. Xu Qing said for a long time, wasn't he still downgraded?
"Then wait for death." Xu Qing said mercilessly.
As soon as these words came out, Xia Zhimei and Cheng Li closed their mouths at the same time, and after a moment of ease, Xia Zhimei said to Xu Qing: "If you talk in depth, I think what I understand may not be comprehensive enough."
"Si Tang just said that there were few entertainment methods in the past, and everyone chose it over and over again, and the Peking Opera scene was big and popular, so it became the choice of most audiences at that time.
Peking Opera was essentially a popular culture at that time, and there was no need to raise itself so high.
Of course, after so many years of development and the blessing of masters and celebrities, it has indeed formed a different cultural connotation.
But the problem is that once art has more connotations, it will be difficult to understand, and once it is difficult to eliminate many audiences.
It would be fine if you didn’t have to choose, but now some of them will naturally not choose the things that are difficult to choose.
Peking Opera is an art form. To put it bluntly, it is used to enrich people's spiritual world. However, most people's spiritual needs are a basic emotional stimulation, making him laugh, making him cry, and making him angry.
Touching him or causing him to have physical impulses are all basic emotions.
What philosophical thinking, historical research, and life meaning are not something that pop culture can carry.
Only relatively superficial things can become popular. When a culture is popular to a certain extent, naturally some people will explore more connotational things based on this. This is the process of the development of Peking Opera to the present.
The people sing folk songs, and the music is in the high hall.
In essence, if something wants to become popular, it must be superficial enough in the market environment at that time. This is an objective fact.
Most people don’t have to understand superficial things, but most people just don’t want to work hard.
Those who have to spend energy when thinking hard is to consume energy. Most people's survival has already consumed 90% of their energy. The remaining 10% has to be distributed to other things. How can they have the energy to understand those complicated things?
I don’t know if you have followed it. There are more and more bloggers on the Internet who talk about various knowledge, and the popularity of knowledge payment is very popular.
Isn’t it because everyone doesn’t want to use their brains to learn by themselves, but everyone also thinks they need to improve themselves, so they choose fragmented knowledge of secondary processing to deceive themselves and tell themselves that they have learned it.
Do you think these people are stupid?
Everyone is not stupid. Everyone knows that any knowledge is systematic and there is no such thing as summarizing through simple attribution.
But everyone just likes simple things because they are not tired, and most of them are ordinary people.
They don't want to study something that is completely unrelated to them. Learning is just to meet their spiritual needs. In fact, everyone doesn't care what they have learned at all. They just want to tell themselves that they have learned and have not wasted their time.
Give him spiritual comfort.
In other words, if he studies something, he can immediately make himself earn two thousand more dollars, and he will do more than anyone else.
So, don't blame the audience for not supporting our Peking Opera. In most people's eyes, Peking Opera is not wrong. If you really want to talk about it, it has nothing to do with their lives. If Peking Opera is good, he won't be able to do it.
He would eat one more steamed bun, but if he was not bad, he would not wear one less piece of clothing.
If we want to bring the audience in, we have to do things that suit the audience's preferences.
If you want Peking Opera to become a popular culture again, you must take an attitude towards popular culture.
Don’t say that the audience doesn’t understand you while raising yourself.
Of course most people cannot understand the fact that the music is high and the number of people is too high. This is not the fault of ordinary audiences.
I believe that most viewers also want to support Peking Opera. After all, they have been calling for the "national treasure" for so many years, but your threshold is eight feet high, so who can get in?
When Peking Opera was popular, Kunqu Opera was not completely out of audience. A bunch of rich and leisure people would still support more connotational things.
The same is true for Peking Opera. Now there are no audiences, but there are still people who like them. It’s just that there are fewer and fewer people in this group.
If you don’t want to cater to most audiences, it’s not impossible to continue like this now.
But since I don’t want to change, where does the face force the audience to cater to us?
Everyone has been calling for so many years, "Vigorously promote excellent traditional culture, express excellent traditional connotations in new forms, and rejuvenate new vitality."
He shouted loudly, but he didn't know anything practical.
I don’t even want to do something about being downgraded, and feel that I’m losing my share, and I want Peking Opera to become popular again. What daydreams do I have?
I thought that playing pop music with the piano would not make everyone think that the piano is an instrument that cannot play symphony.
There are so many bad movies, but no one thinks that movies cannot produce good things.
When we come to our Peking Opera and have a few introductory plays, will it lose the face of Peking Opera?"
Xu Qing said this and shut up directly because the people present had their faces changed.
Xia Zhi's eyebrows and frowns can kill flies.
Cheng Li's eyes were as glaring as a copper bell.
Xu Qing thought to himself, you insisted on me, don’t blame me for being rude, I don’t think so, you are forcing your idol.
