No matter what the outside world thinks, this time Yang Dongxu suddenly appeared at Li Chaoren's banquet, and he said something like this before leaving.
Yang Dongxu would not bother to confirm what he meant outside, saying, "Yes, that's what I meant!"
In short, this matter is becoming more and more sinister as it spreads, but both parties seem to be doing what they are doing as if this matter has never happened.
With the development of the economy, night markets have gradually become more lively. In the early years of Yanjing, only Sanlitun was the only place with lively lights on at night. Now the entire Yanjing is almost a city that never sleeps.
In the past, people basically went out for shopping during the day, such as going to shopping malls, visiting Panjiayuan, or going to teahouses and theaters to listen to plays.
Many activities are now held at night, or it is more lively at night than during the day. And there are more young people than old people at night.
For example, places like teahouses and theaters are usually filled with retired old men and some idle people who don't need to go to work and have no worries about life during the day. There are some younger guests only on Saturday weekends.
At night, all the old people go home to sleep, and the office workers and middle-aged guests after work begin to watch cross talk and listen to operas in teahouses and theaters. The younger ones like to go to bars and KTVs, while the more common people like to sit at roadside stalls and have skewers.
In short, Yanjing feels more smoky at night, and Yanjing during the day is like an engine with full throttle. There is always a sense of urgency, making people dare not stop easily.
Yang Dongxu hugged Xiao Wenwu. Xiao Wenwu stared at the man holding him with big eyes. Although he was not afraid, his expression seemed to say, "Who are you, kid? Why are you holding me?"
Children at such a young age have little memory, and will basically feel strange when they meet again after being apart for a while. But this feeling of strangeness disappeared as quickly as it came.
For example, Yang Dongxu arrived in Yanjing in the morning, held a meeting in the morning, and then went home in the afternoon to spend only a few hours with Xiao Wenwu.
From the very beginning when I saw him staring at me and refusing to let me hug him, now the strange feeling between father and son in my arms is quickly disappearing.
I turned my head inexplicably and saw that the person holding me was a man, not the mother I was usually familiar with. The little guy will be stunned for a moment, and then show an expression like "Who are you kid?"
But after being stunned for a while, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He stared blankly for a while, seeming to remember something, or maybe the familiarity of blood being thicker than water gave him an instinctive feeling of dependence.
So after staring at his father for a while, the little guy started to turn his head and look at the bustling crowd around him. Normally when Bai Qian takes the little one out, the little one won't see so many people.
Because Bai Qian is afraid of being noisy and scaring her children in crowded places, so when she goes out with her children, she usually goes to quieter parks or some relatively high-end specialty stores where the environment is safe and quiet.
This was the first time I came to a teahouse to listen to cross talk like this. The noisy atmosphere did not frighten Xiao Wenwu, but made him a little excited.
"Why do you think of listening to cross talk?" Under the guidance of the waiter, the family came to a location with a great view. Bai Qian asked casually while looking at the menu of tea and snacks.
"Isn't this the government now actively encouraging the development of cultural industries? What it means above is that in addition to the existing relatively hot film, television, entertainment and cultural industries, we need to continue to be proactive.
Some old traditional cultural industries, such as cross talk, opera, etc., have been declining year by year, so they came to Haina. Let’s see if we can combine the development model of the modern entertainment and cultural industry to find a way to revive the old cultural industry. "
"Isn't this easy?" Bai Qian raised her eyebrows.
As a native of Yanjing, I definitely know a little more than others about the two traditional cultural and entertainment industries, opera and cross talk.
After all, the older generation likes to listen to operas. When Mr. Bai was still alive, his biggest hobby was to go to teahouses and theaters to listen to operas. When Bai Qian was a child, she often came with her grandfather.
After listening to it a lot, I can see that there are many big players in these two industries. When I was a child, I went to the Peking Opera Theater out of curiosity and lost my voice for many days. Later, my interest faded and I stopped studying.
So I know a little bit about what's going on here. Let’s talk about the decline of these two industries first. One reason must be that they have not kept up with the development of the times.
After all, the current economic development is very fast. If you can't keep up, you will definitely be eliminated. There is no way.
Another reason is the shortcomings of traditional industries-based on seniority!
For example, in the two industries of cross talk and opera, who do you learn from, who is your leader, whether you are upright and popular, what is the status of the master in this circle, and what is your level...
In short, in terms of personal ability, it ranks at the bottom. The most important things have nothing to do with personal ability, such as the name of the teacher, age, whether you have to pay homage to the pier when you come here to talk about cross talk, whether you have to pay homage to someone else's place to sing in an opera, etc.
These titles that have nothing to do with basic skills are very important and you can go on stage, but if the cross talk you talk about is not funny, the opera you sing is not interesting and the voice is not good, how can you make the audience stay?
In short, the strict hierarchy of these two industries is comparable to that of the Korean entertainment industry in the future. No matter how capable the younger generation is, they still want to be grandsons.
Even if you are very polite and know how to respect your elders, it still won't work. From status to seniority to the benefits of being on stage, you have to be a grandson in all aspects. It depends on how the so-called elders feel and whether they want to reward you. You eat.
Therefore, in these two traditional industries, there have been fewer and fewer newcomers who have excelled in these two years. The biggest highlight of these two programs now is the Spring Festival Gala. And I feel further and further away from the life of ordinary people, basically entertaining myself behind closed doors.
In the past, rich people in rural areas liked to invite opera troupes to sing operas when celebrating their birthdays. Nowadays, they will invite singers and dancers, and those who are rich will hire a circus or something, or simply set up a stage, and their own talented people will sing and have fun together.
In short, opera is no longer a necessary program. This is especially obvious in commercial activities. When a shop opens a long time ago, it also requires a show.
After the reform and opening up, many places began to hold ribbon-cutting ceremonies when they opened their doors, and there were also lion dances in the south. Later, the film and television industry developed rapidly, and some large shopping malls began to invite celebrities to sing on stage.
Opera has been missing for a long time, and the cross talk in opera is basically the same. Therefore, except when people across the country watch the Spring Festival Gala every year, they revisit these two traditional cultures, which are basically out of contact with them in daily life.
The audience began to shrink sharply, and these two industries naturally became more and more difficult, so much so that they were almost forgotten in a few years.
New trends cannot be introduced, and when the older generation insists on tradition, it is disrespectful to say that they have forgotten their ancestors after a slight reform, and it is disrespectful to the ancestors and elders. It is...
In short, I can't keep up with the times, but I won't change it, and I'm not wrong. If you make a little innovation to adapt to the times, then you are wrong, you are not worthy of singing, you are not worthy of doing cross talk, you cannot be considered a person in this industry at all, get out of here!
"It's hard to say it's hard, but it's easy to say it's easy. It just depends on how to change it, or whether there is capital willing to inject funds to change it." Yang Dongxu said while teasing his son in his arms.
Saving cross talk and reviving opera is indeed difficult to say, but easy to say. For example, many young people cannot understand opera. The only ones who can understand it are old men and women. The middle-aged generation has to make money to support their families and has no time to listen.
If you want to re-inject vitality, then incorporate some modern elements. For example, integrating opera into modern songs is a good attempt.
Before the reincarnation of Yang Dongxu in the previous life, many songs with opera elements were very popular, and they sounded very interesting and young people also liked them.
The drama in the song even gives people a very amazing feeling, and the unique penetrating and charming voice is very memorable. So this is actually a very good innovation direction.
At the same time, there are currently many opera inheritors with real kung fu skills, and those with a foundation in martial arts can develop into martial arts niches and martial arts actresses.
If you become a star in the end, talking about your identity is a basic skill practiced in opera. When the time comes, if you occasionally raise your voice on Weibo or during news interviews, fans will definitely clap their hands and applaud, which will invisibly promote the influence of opera. .
Another example is the traditional cultural industry. Opera can be completely integrated with traditional culture.
For example, Yang Dongxu is from Anhui Province, and the most popular opera in Anhui Province is Huangmei Opera. Growing up, as an out-and-out native of Anhui Province, Yang Dongxu himself thought that Huangmei Opera only had a few sections.
One section is "Female Consort", the other section is "Birds on the trees come in pairs..." and the rest are completely unknown to other Huangmei operas.
But this does not hinder the amazement brought to tourists by some female consort actors in ancient costumes at some tourist attractions in Anhui Province.
Don’t the middle-aged generation have to support their families and have no time to listen to theater?
Then move the theater to a tourist attraction. Instead of following the tradition of setting up an opera stage, all the opera singers can play cosplay, and the leader can find some handsome girls and boys.
This ancient costume has a taste once you put it on, and then the song "Female Consort" passed through the crowd of tourists. The show was very effective and the tourists also liked it.
If you are thoughtful enough to open a traditional Hanfu clothing store in a scenic spot, you can display costumes from all dynasties. Even if tourists feel it is a waste to buy it because they will definitely not wear it when they go home, they can still rent it out.
In this way, traditional opera, traditional culture plus traditional costumes, some folk snacks, ancient inn accommodation, etc., a complete traditional cultural industry chain is completed.
There are tourists from all over the world. If you go back and talk about the experience that you enjoyed, and then show off the photos you took, you will be able to do both tourist attraction business and traditional cultural promotion.
In short, as long as you want to do it and someone is willing to do it, the revival of these two traditional entertainment industries can still be achieved.
"Are you ready to take this job?"
"I don't have to accept it. Fuzhen is not doing land all over the country, but also making tourism investments all over the world. Since the higher ups have said hello, they must give some face.
So I plan to find a scenic spot in my hometown and try to combine Huangmei Opera with traditional culture and ancient scenic spots. If you succeed, it’s considered an achievement. If you don’t, it’s considered you’ve done something. The above will certainly not say anything else. "
Deep down in his heart, Yang Dongxu still likes to promote traditional cultural industries, otherwise he would not devote all his efforts to supporting traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, he is still happy to do whatever he can.
