The ace agent starts with the girl group

Chapter 341
As soon as Xu Qing said this, Cheng Li and Xia Zhimei couldn't help but looked at each other. Xu Qing saw that look clearly, because the two of them didn't hide it at all.

Their eyes were clearly saying: Sure enough, I knew that this kid would be able to say something if he forced him.

Xu Qing's first reaction was, damn it, I was tricked.

Really, I was definitely tricked by these two guys.

They probably wouldn't believe any layout or plan.

That's right, I have to cooperate with the National Song and Dance Troupe to create a dance drama. How can I get rid of the Peking Opera Troupe for Peking Opera? I am a new company, and I don't have enough talent reserves, so I can only borrow people from them.

This truth is clear to me. Both of these guys are leaders, so it is impossible to be unclear.

Cheng Li, Cheng Li, how dare you 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 go back and say something casually, Xia Zhimei suddenly stood up and said to Xu Qing: "Wait a minute, Mr. Xu, I'll get a notebook and write it down."

That's right, Teacher Xu yelled, this really set him up, if he said it in a mess, he lost his own people.

Sure enough, there is no fool who can become a leader.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked angrily at Ye Sitang and Qi Xi who were still in the fog.

You two, stop being fools, take a good look, this is your direct senior, learn from it.

When Xia Zhimei came over with a notebook, she sat beside her like a good student and waited for Xu Qing to speak.

Xu Qing said helplessly: "Mr. Xia, you are a famous Peking Opera actor. Tell me, why was Peking Opera so popular back then?"

"Sitang, you are going to learn Peking Opera from me soon, what do you think?" Xia Zhimei didn't answer, but threw the ball directly to Ye Sitang.

When Ye Sitang heard this question at first, she was going to say that there were many masters and many actors, but after thinking about it, something is wrong, I can't say that, it must not be the reason, she thought for a while and said: "Because there were no entertainment methods at that time?"

"What do you think, Teacher Xu?" Xia Zhimei turned to ask Xu Qing again.

"There are reasons for this, but there were other dramas at that time, so why is Peking Opera so popular?" Xu Qing continued to ask.

Xia Zhimei didn't answer, but turned to look at Ye Sitang.

Ye Sitang didn't expect that this topic would come to his own head, and the sweat on the top of his head broke out all of a sudden, why did he still take the exam after eating well.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing wanted to laugh. Xia Zhimei's handling method was very interesting. If Qi Xi and Ye Sitang were not present, she would definitely not have handled it like this.

But now that there is a future apprentice in person, she must maintain her dignity as a teacher and not show timidity, but she doesn't know Xu Qing's style of conversation, so she can only let Ye Sitang talk to Xu Qing first, and adapt herself first adapt.

"Because there are many rich people in the capital?" Ye Sitang said.

"That's not a problem." Xu Qing didn't wait for Xia Zhimei to look at him before answering this time, and he didn't ask Ye Sitang any other questions. He had to maintain his image as an artist.

Therefore, Xu Qing went on to say: "As long as it is an artistic performance that requires an audience, the aesthetic level of the audience will inevitably determine the upper and lower limits of this artistic performance.

Peking opera was able to rise at that time, and there are several advantages. First, its narration and arias are in line with the language habits of the capital and several surrounding places.

Except for the local people, audiences in other places could not understand the dramas in other places. At that time, it was impossible to produce subtitles in real time. The more in line with the local language habits, the easier it is for the information to be understood.

This brings about the second advantage. The capital is the political and cultural center, and the popular dramas in this place naturally have a geographical advantage.

What is good at the top must be followed by the bottom. Therefore, Peking Opera became more and more prosperous at that time, which was unmatched by other local operas.

The third advantage is that compared with other non-regional operas at that time, Peking Opera was the one with the least connotation, so the audience naturally had a lot. "

"The least connotation? You made a mistake, Brother Qing." Ye Sitang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help asking, does Peking Opera have no connotation?

"Mr. Xia, what do you think?" Xu Qing didn't answer, but turned to look at Xia Zhimei.

Xia Zhimei paused for a moment, then nodded helplessly and said: "It is indeed the one with the least connotation."

"Many libretto, recitative lyrics, plots, and characters in Peking Opera can't stand up to scrutiny. Many famous plays are no different from the current film and television dramas that do not conform to history. They are all products of artistic reprocessing in order to meet the preferences of the audience at that time. .

Moreover, whether the libretto or the vernacular, there is nothing advanced at all. Strictly speaking, it is the vernacular at that time, which is really inferior to what Tang Xianzu wrote.

Also, many Peking Opera audiences liked to watch the dramas, which were actually small fan dramas. Many of the plays we see now were also small fan dramas, which were adapted. Before the adaptation of "Xie Yaohuan", what was sung? Teacher Xia should know better than me. "

"What is Xiaofenxi?" Qi Xi asked.

"Little fan opera, you know what it is when you think about it." Xu Qing made a fool of himself, and then continued: "I didn't say this to belittle Peking opera, I was objectively analyzing why Peking opera became so popular.

How did it catch fire at the beginning, and how to revive it now.

In fact, the predecessors of Peking Opera have already told us how to do it. Now we can just learn from the predecessors. In fact, it is not that complicated. "

"Brother Qing, it's against the law to engage in fan dramas now." Ye Sitang said suddenly.

"Are you out of your mind? Who said you're going to have a fan show?" Xu Qing was speechless for a moment. How could this child not hear the point?

Don't just listen to dirty things just because you are dirty.

"You mean to downgrade the aesthetics of Peking Opera?" Cheng Li was not Ye Sitang, but he understood what Xu Qing meant.

"Right or wrong, it's not aesthetic downgrading, it's content innovation. Whatever the audience likes, express it in the form of drama, and make some popular content while retaining the performance form of drama.

When doing these things, don't think about the connotation, education, culture, etc., in order to let the audience get started, and after getting started, some of the audience will naturally turn to more classic repertoire with more connotation, so as to let the audience get started. Peking Opera has a second spring. "Xu Qing said.

"How can this be done? No one will agree to it. It is not advisable to go back to the connotation that has been improved so hard." Xia Zhimei said immediately, and Xu Qing talked for a long time, isn't it still downgraded?

"Then wait for death." Xu Qing said mercilessly.

As soon as these words came out, both Xia Zhimei and Cheng Li closed their mouths at the same time, and after a moment of relaxation, Xia Zhimei said to Xu Qing: "Talk about it in depth, I think my understanding may not be comprehensive enough."

"Sitang just said that there were few entertainment methods in the past, and everyone chose to choose, but Peking Opera was large and popular, so it became the choice of most audiences at that time.

At that time, Peking Opera was essentially a popular culture, so there was no need to elevate itself so high.

Of course, after so many years of development and the blessings of masters and celebrities, it has indeed formed a different cultural connotation.

But here lies the problem. Once art has more connotations, it will take a lot of effort to understand, and many viewers will be weeded out if it takes a lot of effort.

It's fine if you don't have a choice, but now that you have a choice, you naturally won't choose something that requires effort.

Peking Opera is an art form. To put it bluntly, art is used to enrich people's spiritual world, but most people's spiritual needs are basically emotional stimulation, making them laugh, cry, and angry. Let him be moved, or let him have a physiological impulse, these are the basic emotions.

What philosophical thinking, what historical research, what the meaning of life, these simply cannot be carried by popular culture.

Only relatively superficial things can be popular. When a culture is popular to a certain extent, people will naturally explore something more connotative on this basis. The development of Peking Opera to the present is such a process.

The common people sing folk songs, and elegant music lives in the high hall.

Essentially, if something wants to become popular, it must be shallow enough in the market environment at that time, which is an objective fact.

Superficial things are easy for most people to understand, but most people's brains just don't want to work hard.

Strenuous thinking consumes energy. Most people’s survival already consumes [-]% of their energy, and the remaining [-]% has to be allocated to other things. How can they have the energy to understand those complicated things?

I don’t know if you have paid attention to it. There are more and more bloggers on the Internet who talk about various kinds of knowledge, and the trend of paying for knowledge is very hot.

Isn't it because everyone doesn't want to use their brains to learn by themselves, but everyone feels that they need to improve themselves, so they choose a second-process fragmented knowledge to deceive themselves and tell themselves that they have learned it.

Are you saying these people are stupid?
Everyone is not stupid, everyone knows that any knowledge is systematic, and there is nothing that can be generalized through simple attribution.

But everyone just likes simple things, because they are not tired, most of them are ordinary people.

They don't want to study something that has nothing to do with them. Learning is only to satisfy their spiritual needs. In fact, everyone doesn't care what they have learned. He just needs to tell himself that he has learned and he has not wasted his time. Give him spiritual comfort.

In other words, if he researches something, he can earn 2000 yuan more immediately, and he works harder than anyone else.

Therefore, don’t blame the audience for not supporting our Beijing opera. Peking opera is a traditional culture in the eyes of most people. In terms of truth, it has nothing to do with their life. Peking opera is good, he doesn’t There will be one more steamed bun to eat, if not, he will not lose one piece of clothes to wear.

If we want to draw 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 have to adopt an attitude of being a popular culture.

Don't elevate yourself while saying that the audience doesn't understand you.

The song is high and few, and it is too high, of course most people can't understand it. This is not the fault of ordinary audiences.

I believe that most of the audience also want to support Peking Opera. After all, they have called "the quintessence of China" for so many years, but your threshold is eight feet high, who can get in?

When Peking Opera was popular, Kunqu Opera did not completely lose its audience. A bunch of people with money and leisure would still support something with more connotation.

It's the same with Peking Opera, it's not that there are no audiences, there are still people who like it, it's just that this group of people is getting smaller and smaller.

If you don't want to cater to the majority of the audience, it's not impossible to do it like this now.

But if you don't want to change, how can you force the audience to cater to us?

Everyone has called for so many years' vigorously promote the excellent traditional culture, express the excellent traditional connotation in a new form, and radiate new vitality. '

They shouted loudly, but they didn't see any practical things done.

I don't even want to do a relegation entry, I feel that I have lost my position, and I want to make Peking Opera popular again, what is my daydream?
I thought about using the piano to play popular music, and it would not make everyone think that the piano is an instrument that cannot play symphony.

There are so many bad movies, and no one thinks that movies can't make good things.

Come to our Peking Opera and play a few introductory plays, will you lose the face of Peking Opera? "

When Xu Qing said this, he immediately shut his mouth, because the faces of all the people present changed.

Xia Zhi frowned so much that it could kill a fly.

Cheng Li's eyes were as wide as copper bells.

Xu Qing said in her heart, you guys insisted on making me say it, don't blame me for speaking badly, I don't want to, you guys are forcing me to be idols.
