Reborn Cultural Empire

"Someone wants to invite our Chang family class to go out to sing opera?" "Singing, what's the situation? Tell me about it, fourth child?" "What can I say? It hasn't been decided yet, and they just came to invite our master to play. But just now I secretly listened to it for a while, and they said that you can't use water to grind your singing..."

"Can't use water to polish the singing? Then what do you want us to do? It's really funny. Could it be that some upstart boss is celebrating his wife's birthday and wants us to go over to cheer for the show? When I was playing on the other side last time, I listened to my family. Xiaoyuan said that their troupe was invited by a big boss in Shanghai a few years ago, and sang a play for his old man. Do you know how much he gave in the end? This is the number!” In the backyard is the place where the troupe practices. Some disciples of Chang's class finished their work in the fields, and they all gathered there to make a noise.

"Isn't it [-]? As if no one knows, you don't want to show off your Xiaoyuan. When the time comes, the master agrees or disagrees. You are different from us. The master is your half father. Do you dare not let him make the decision? Did you do it in private?" The guy in front who eavesdropped on something dismissed him with a smile: "This time, the conditions are actually very good. They said that the board and lodging are all included. , In addition, there is also the performance fee, which is settled every day. It is much more cost-effective than singing for the boss, the most important thing is that the old man disagrees with the master, I just saw that he is ready to throw up his sleeves to see off guests."

"Is it because the other party asked not to use the Shuimo singing voice to sing? This is totally fine, he doesn't like it, and I think it's too tiring to sing."

"I think so too. You said that's what we do. If you don't listen to this singing, what kind of Kunqu opera would you ask us to sing? Isn't it enough to find a grass-stage troupe to yell twice? Of course. If he is willing to spend a lot of money, Can't we sing whatever we want? What kind of win-win slogan? After all these years, I can see clearly that singing this stuff has no future at all. But fortunately, I had no future before. The master is willing to teach me this skill, after all, there is a job to eat."

"You really didn't attend, so we are working in the fields now, so we can also eat? You have worked so hard to learn the art for so many years, isn't it all in vain?"

"What if it's not in vain? Now we're not popular, tell God? And brother Jianguo didn't say that they didn't invite us to sing authentic Kunqu opera, but messed around. Hey, you say. If you don't play water mill In terms of singing, how do those people want us to sing?"

……

In the front yard, I heard what the old man said, Director Chen from the Cultural Bureau next to him, Wang Jing's mother, and an event planner from the animation department from Yangyi Culture, and a small assistant from the president's office, all subconsciously looked at the boy.It wasn't that these people had high expectations for Yang Yi, but the subconscious surprise and helplessness—who knew that the old gentleman would get involved in the script while talking?But also on-site inspection.How can you take out things you haven't prepared for now?

But under the obviously surprised gazes of several people, Yang Yi smiled, and then took out a notebook from a large business bag that he carried with him.Then he also took out a Walkman that was very popular on campus in this era.

"This is..." Chang Hongqu had seen notebooks before, but the old man had never seen a Walkman.In fact, let traditional old artists who have never left Yangcheng Lake for three miles all their lives know what is the most popular thing now.It's also really difficult.

Yang Yi explained with a smile: "This is an excerpt based on a book in our company. Many things are taken for granted. There may be some incongruities in the Kunqu opera performance, so I ask Teacher Chang to help me to read it. Of course. First of all It is to see if you like this play. If you like it, it will be the script. If you don’t like it, we will find another way. As for this, it is a player, but its function is relatively simple. , is used to play songs, among which I have already recorded a piece of "Nanke Ji" adapted according to our ideas, please listen to the teacher and see if you think such a change is okay?"

Chang Hongqu didn't speak, but the eager and happy look in his eyes was gone, and he didn't care much.

Obviously, in the eyes of the old man, Yang Yi wanted to speak with facts, but he didn't take this "fact" into his heart - did he think that Kunqu opera excerpts were so easy to make up?Even if the screenwriters who write TV dramas are now asked to write a Kunqu opera, those people may not have this skill.What kind of cultural company do you not rely on before and after, just want to come up with something to convince yourself?impossible!

But the old man dismissed it, but the expression of Director Chen next to him changed a little. He himself is in charge of folk literature and art work, and he is more or less a technical bureaucrat. Not to mention being familiar with an old play on the Internet, but I still know something about it. Now that Yang Yi said that there is an adapted Kunqu Opera, I am naturally quite curious.Besides being curious, from a leader's point of view, his impression of Yang Yi has changed from a vague one based on word of mouth before to a more intuitive one, and it's still a good impression.

If he didn't have a heart, how could he have prepared these things before coming here?

In recent years, with the development of the domestic economy, he has also seen more arty things about developed bosses relying on money in their pockets.Of course, those people were not like Yang Yi, who invited the Kunqu opera troupe out of career considerations, purely using money to buy the opinions of the people around them, so the people they came into contact with were not very people like Hong Qu, but some A master in calligraphy and painting.But no matter what the master is, when those upstarts invite each other, there is only one way, and that is to throw money at people.Five thousand for a painting?Well, I'll pay [-], and you can draw me a work with a larger size!Two hundred per word?Well, I'll pay ten times the price for only four words, and you write me a middle note.

But besides using money to open the way, have those people ever thought of asking for a calligraphy and painting with their own sincerity?

Only using money, compared with taking both money and sincerity.It's like one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

Moreover, besides the responsibility of helping Yangyi Culture to support the scene, Director Chen also meant to act as Ye family's eyeliner.Look at Yang Yi's style of doing things when he is not in contact with Ye Yuyou.After all this behind-the-scenes observation.Close observation can best see a person's temperament and ability.

The things that Yang Yi prepared in advance are undoubtedly the best embodiment of his working ability.

After taking the notebook, Chang Hongqu didn't say anything, but took out a reading glasses from the pocket of his jacket that he had worn for more than ten years.Although there is also the role of Wusheng in Kunqu Opera, and the old man happened to practice Wusheng for a period of time when he was learning art from his fathers in his early years, but his physical functions in terms of vision.But it is impossible to maintain it all the time because of year-round exercise and maintenance. Some old people are farsighted when they are old, and there is no way to think about it.

After putting on the reading glasses, the old man opened the notebook and looked at it, then stretched his hands and moved the notebook a little farther away, then he frowned and read softly: "Like the light of the moon, the corner of the eaves is silent, like a sweeping Breeze. In the unobstructed place, finer than dust... (Dan Shang), walk slowly on the green peak, face the clear gauze and bright moon, put the sword in the box... (lyric). I have a sword, like a mirror, flowers, water and moon, warm and warm, I have a sword A sword. Like clouds, stars, rivers, and thousands of horses galloping, and a thousand mountains and thunderstorms. For dry gold, for a dragon of the sky..."

After a while, the expression on the old man's face was very strange.From the frame of the presbyopic glasses, two eyes fell over: "What is this? It doesn't look like a Kunqu Opera opera, but it has a taste of ancient opera? But Guyuan opera doesn't have such fairy and ghost content? Although it makes sense in terms of libretto and norms, but I always feel that something is wrong. If this kind of thing is put in the old days, I'm afraid not many people will buy it."

Yang Yi couldn't help laughing, as long as the old man didn't directly make a comment of "shit doesn't make sense", then he won the first round, after all, he wanted to adapt "Yunhuang" into Kunqu opera, even he who came from In the future, cheaters who have seen a lot of hodgepodge messages are not very sure.In fact, he couldn't bear to look down on his adaptation at the beginning. After the script was finally completed, it was thanks to his teacher Ji Tangdan who helped to revise it. Otherwise, Chang Hongqu's reaction now would not be so weird, but He flew into a rage.

Although he was rejoicing in his heart, his mouth was not slow at all, and he looked over with a smile: "Mr. Chang, although you have never walked out of the three-acre land of Shiniutan in Yangcheng Lake, you always watch TV in your spare time." of?"

"I spend more time listening to music and less time watching TV, but I must have watched it." The old man nodded.

Yang Yi continued to laugh, like a fox about to steal a chicken, looking calm, but besides cunning, there were two expectations and nervousness: "Have you seen the martial arts drama?" The boy is taking Chang Hongqu's I took a gamble on my past experience, because I learned from Wang Jing’s mother that the old man had sung a lot of kunqu operas when he was a teenager. At the beginning, Xiaosheng and Wusheng, as well as the ugly and the last two roles also tried for a while. , so some basic skills have also been practiced.And this kind of people who have practiced kung fu in traditional theater troupes will definitely not be extremely repulsive towards martial arts dramas like old intellectuals and pedants, and they may still like it very much.

Sure enough, the boy's guess was not wrong. The other party nodded, obviously having two interests: "Why not? When I was learning martial arts with my master, I started learning martial arts. The most basic things are also indispensable. Look at my granddaughter. Now I just do the splits and practice bones, and I won’t let her go to the ground for two hours. The doubles in those martial arts movies can be picked by anyone in our troupe. can go up."

Yang Yi was overjoyed when he heard the words, the old man was fooled, and then, regardless of the puzzled eyes of the people around him, amidst the helplessness and doubts of "Are you one old and one young going off topic?", he smiled and said: "It seems Or the things left by our ancestors are amazing. But what I want to talk about now is not this, I don’t know if Mr. Chang knows that when martial arts novels first came out, they were criticized as unprofessional things?” (unfinished to be continued..)
