Chapter 148 Entering Beijing to Compete
The news of the re-hosting of the Qingjing Tournament exploded like a heavy bomb in the opera world, and the news spread very quickly. It was better for those who had already known about it in advance, but for those who just learned the news Others surprised and delighted them.

The Qingjing competition has not been held for many years for some reason, and actors from the Peking Opera Theater or folk troupes have no stage to show themselves. Even some national style contestants' programs need to have Contestants with a certain popularity and traffic will go up, no matter how bad they are, they have to be handsome, so they don't have any channels to perform on stage.

The Youth Beijing Competition is different. The full name of this competition is "National TV Competition for Young Peking Opera Actors". The contestants are naturally professional young Peking Opera actors. If you are capable, you may be eliminated from the beginning.

But even that is certainly better than nothing!
After all, today is different from the past, the opera industry has declined, and there are fewer young people who like to listen to opera. Unlike before, people have fewer entertainment items, and listening to opera is still a good choice, but now, with wonderful web articles and content Compared with rich short videos, Yiqu is naturally inferior to these entertainment methods.

And there are fewer and fewer ways for opera actors to become famous. Apart from participating in variety shows, they can only rely on themselves and use short video platforms to promote themselves.

However, the short video algorithm is also pushed based on the number of views and other data. No one likes opera, so even if there is a short video platform, opera actors still cannot achieve the effect of promoting themselves.

The re-hosting of the Youth Beijing Competition can be regarded as a particularly good platform for all young Peking Opera actors across the country.

Although many young people no longer watch TV and instead play short videos or various film and television apps, but even so, China Television is still an unshakable existence in a short period of time, and the traffic is still unmatched by online apps and video websites. of.

In particular, the opera channel of CCTV is the favorite of the elderly opera fans, and the audience of opera is them. The Youth Beijing Competition will be broadcast on this channel, and it will naturally attract the attention and viewing of opera fans across the country.

After hearing the news, the young Peking opera performers in Huaguo first thought of participating. Leaving aside other rankings and awards, this competition must be participated. It is already very good to be able to show their faces on TV ;If it is to get another ranking, not to mention the fame by then, the resources will definitely increase gradually. Although that kind of title is no longer popular now, isn't "chengjiaoer" the dream of every Peking opera actor!

Relatively speaking, compared with other circles, the opera circle may be a bit small, but the Qingjing competition will be held again after a few years, which can be regarded as a chance for young Peking opera actors who have been holding back for a long time.

Therefore, when this news appeared, the online registration channel just opened for the Qingjing Tournament was blocked not long after. As for whether the registration is successful or not, it all depends on one's luck and the system's lack of face.

However, Shen Ge and Li Ying don't have to worry about this. Master Du Jinfang has already helped to report their names, and then they can participate according to the information, and there is no need to fight wits with the system like online registration Yong.

"Did you send out the video you took yesterday?"

Shen Ge asked Li Ying.

"No." Li Ying shook her head.

Shen Ge found the camera that shot the whole process yesterday, imported it into the computer, and casually sent it to the opera circles or forums in Chuzhou City, "Although word of mouth among theater fans and audiences is enough to make Ye Yunfeng and Mr. Liu's reputation It’s broken, but it’s not enough, he committed suicide, so naturally we can’t let him bully, post this video, let everyone know their disgusting face!”

Li Ying nodded: "That's right!"

At the same time, Mr. Liu stayed in the hotel all day, and Ye Yunfeng had called several times to ask him to come out to meet, but he ignored them.It's not that I'm afraid of Ye Yunfeng, but the main reason is that Mr. Liu doesn't want to have any contact with him at this moment. Now his reputation has been affected, and it's all caused by Ye Yunfeng and the people from Tianyuan Theater. He, go dreaming!

"Liu Jinghao, come out for me!"

Ye Yunfeng's voice on the opposite side was a bit sharp, but he could hear the anxiety in his voice, "Don't think that I won't be able to find you if you change hotels. Get out now. I'm already cornered now. If you want to leave, there is no way! If this matter is not resolved, and you don't give me a satisfactory answer, we will wait and see..."

Hearing his threatening words, Mr. Liu sneered, and said with disdain: "Since you know my identity, you dare to say such a thing, it's really shameless!"

Ye Yunfeng on the other side hurriedly said: "Liu Jinghao, are you not afraid that I will spread the news of what happened to you yesterday?!"

"Ha ha……"

Mr. Liu suddenly smiled, as if he was no longer threatened by Ye Yunfeng like last night: "If you still want to threaten me with this, go dream! Just like you said, we two are not afraid of wearing shoes when we are barefoot, who is afraid?" Who, isn't it because I lost to Shen Ge, what's the big deal? As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs!"

This sentence made Ye Yunfeng unable to fix it. In his heart, he always felt that Mr. Liu cared about his reputation very much, so he was threatened by him last night, but how did he know that Mr. Liu just saw Shen Ge In the video posted on the Internet, it suddenly occurred to me that Shen Ge's strength is not bad. If he loses, he loses. At most, his behavior is a bit bad. A simple explanation will be enough. what is the relationship? !

"you……"

Ye Yunfeng was completely dumbfounded this time. When the audience spread the news of what happened yesterday, it had already had an impact on his reputation. In addition, the people at the Tianyuan Theater actually acted so viciously that they spread yesterday's video to the In the circle of opera circles, he is afraid that he will be boycotted by all his colleagues in Chuzhou now, not to mention that he still has a gambling appointment, even if he does not keep the appointment, he will not be able to get along in Chuzhou.

Mr. Liu is his only hope, but this hope abandoned him without any hesitation like last night. Now Ye Yunfeng only has deep despair in his heart, it's over, everything is over, he can't figure out why What seemed such a small thing at first had such a result, and he had come to this point in just one day.

Ye Yunfeng felt regret welling up from the bottom of his heart.

But no matter how regretful he is at this moment, it is useless. The incident has already happened, and the Tianyuan Theater is still alive and well, but the reputation of him and his Yunfeng Theater is already rotten. If you don't fulfill the bet with Shen Ge and leave Chuzhou, then no one will come to Yunfeng Theater to listen to plays again.

Shen Ge, Li Ying, and Master Chen didn't know what Ye Yunfeng was thinking. Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't have any other feelings. Now all this is what Ye Yunfeng asked for, even if he came to ask for their forgiveness at this moment , They will not agree, this is all should.

The Qingjing competition is now open for registration, and it will take about a week before it will be officially held. As for the contestants' profiles, it is worth noting that although this Qingjing competition is aimed at young Peking opera actors across the country , the range is relatively wide, but there is also a choice of sending units.

For example, some young actors in theaters across the country may not have joined the local Peking Opera Theater in the city or province, so they still need to choose a Peking Opera Theater to be affiliated with, because during the competition, the contestants’ information must be filled in with the sending unit.

There is a Peking Opera Theater in Chuzhou City, and the Tianyuan Theater is quite famous, not to mention Shen Ge, who is Du Jinfang's disciple. It is too late for the Chuzhou Peking Opera Theater to welcome him. The people in the theater are going to directly fill in Shen Ge's name on the list of their own theater.

But because the names of Shen Ge and Li Ying were reported by Master Du Jinfang, and Master Du Jinfang directly put their names under the name of the National Peking Opera Theater in order to save trouble, which made the Chuzhou Peking Opera Theater secretly say it was a pity.

Of course, this does not mean that the two of them are members of the National Peking Opera Company. They simply put the name of the selected unit on it. This behavior was originally formulated by the official for the convenience of seeing the classification of the contestants. It is within the rules , which is not illegal at all.

The requirements for entering the National Peking Opera Theater are quite strict. If you are a freshman from the Academy of Chinese Opera, it may be relatively easy, because if you want to join, you not only need to look at your academic qualifications, but you also need to be a resident of Yanjing. account, and a series of reviews.

However, Shen Ge didn't have much desire for this. After all, it was quite simple for him to add it, but he didn't have that idea for the time being.

"I don't know where the two of us can go..."

Li Ying said.

"Even if you can't get the ranking, you have to make your ranking higher," Shen Ge said with a smile, "At least it looks good."

"That's a must."

Li Ying nodded.

Shen Ge didn't know Mr. Liu's true identity, but thinking about it carefully, people like Ye Yunfeng shouldn't be particularly stupid, so he wouldn't be fooled by a young man. Since he was so sure that Mr. Liu would win when the two made a bet , resolutely agreed to his own bet to get out of Chuzhou, which also shows that Mr. Liu's strength is still good, and his background may be a bit big.

In this way, even if Mr. Liu is not from the capital city, he should probably be from a certain provincial Peking Opera Theater. Judging by his arrogant appearance, it doesn't look like he is pretending, so he should not be weak among them.

"Since Young Master Liu is no match for me, that means I should be quite strong among the younger generation." Although Shen Ge is modest, he still has a clear understanding of his true strength.

But after he finished speaking, he added another sentence: "Of course, this is just a guess!"

What if Mr. Liu is just a waste...

"Hahahaha!"

Li Ying smiled and said, "I think it's easy for you to win an award."

"maybe."

Shen Ge said.

In fact, in the final analysis, among young actors, even if there are masters, they should not be too outrageous. After all, everyone is about the same age. It shouldn't be too bad, and it won't be particularly outrageous.

The only thing is that although the name of the Youth Beijing Competition is the National TV Competition for Young Peking Opera Actors, in fact, among the previous contestants, there are also Peking Opera actors in their 30s and 40s.

The age of middle-aged people is about 40 to 55 years old. As for the exact time, it is difficult to make a complete conclusion. Some people say it is 40 years old, and some people say it is 45 years old. In fact, they are all about the same.

So there is no strict limit, and the organizers of the Qingjing Competition did not specify the age requirement, but Peking opera actors aged 50 are definitely not allowed to participate.

Therefore, in the previous sessions, some Peking opera actors in their 40s participated.

Perhaps thin-skinned Peking opera actors were embarrassed to participate, but those who pursued the competition and hoped to win awards, or those who wanted to get better resources to move forward, all chose to participate.

After all, the organizer didn't say it clearly, so it seems to have tacitly acknowledged the existence of this rule. Others may not have any opinions, or they may have opinions but did not say anything, but in any case, this thing is preserved.

Shen Ge has no objection to this, but what really concerns him is that these older Peking opera actors are more familiar and experienced than young people like them, whether it is singing and performing, or participating in competitions and performances , This is something that a person's talent cannot make up for. This is a problem that young actors across the country have to face.

"It seems that there is still a chance to compete with the teachers in the opera world!"

A light flashed in Shen Ge's eyes. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't have any fear, but looked forward to it even more.

"Maybe, Mr. Liu may also participate in the Qingjing competition, and we may meet again in the Qingyi group." Li Ying said with a smile.

Shen Ge also smiled: "Then when the time comes, defeat him again!"

"Meeting you, Mr. Liu is so pitiful."

Li Ying shook her head slightly, then changed her voice: "But he asked for it himself, he deserves it!"

The next day, the audience who came to listen to the play said that the Yunfeng Theater was closed. It is estimated that Ye Yunfeng could not stay in Chuzhou and ran away, but not many people cared about it. Anyway, there is a Tianyuan Theater nearby, and The actors here can sing better than theirs, so if you turn it off, you just turn it off, and it doesn't have any effect.

A few days later, when Shen Ge and Li Ying were ready, they went to Beijing to prepare for the competition!
