This star just wants to learn

With the popularity of the song "Chi Ling", Gan Hengxu Theater Troupe's tour performance also attracted attention. However, many people did not expect that nowadays, there are still theater troupes doing such a thankless task...

Singers perform tours to make money and consolidate fans, but what is the purpose of troupe performances?

Buy tickets. Today's young people are not interested in opera. Old people do like to watch operas, but they really can't get away because of their physical and energy.

Not to mention that the older generation has little information and has no way of knowing about the troupe’s performances.

If it weren't for Gan Hengxu's promotion that brought a little bit of enthusiasm, there wouldn't be enough seats in the hall today...

As for consolidating fans, that is even more impossible. The opera industry is so unpopular now, where will the fans come from?

It's a good thing you don't lose your old fans. Who would suddenly get into opera?

For the traditional art of opera, touring performances is tantamount to "paying money to buy suffering", which cannot return the money at all, and it cannot make waves.

If it were organized by an official theater, it would naturally not be stingy with financial gains and losses. However, Gan Hengxu and his troupe's touring performance is spontaneous, so they can only bear their own profits and losses.

Without Gan Hengxu and Pu Tong, this tour would probably not be possible...

But things have developed so far, and the result is obviously good. Pu Tong does not want to take credit or be arrogant. He can only say that it is these old artists' ten-year love for opera that made him plan to help.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Their persistence and love are the real reasons for the popularity of the show.

Because of the song "Chi Ling" and this performance, many people discovered that it was not that they were not interested in opera, but that they had not met anyone who was interested.

At the Spring Festival Gala and Lantern Festival Gala every year, no matter whether anyone likes it or not, "opera" occupies a share of the program. There will be some opera arias, such as The Female Consort, Hua Mulan, Guan Mei An and other arias, which I learned from these programs. Occasionally, I remember that Pu Tong can also hum along with a few lines.

When he was a child living in an orphanage, he would watch dramas with his aunts, so Pu Tong has always been very interested in this type of art form. There are also several drama-related arias in his playlist, including Huangmei Opera. , Peking Opera and Cantonese Opera arias, the beauty of music is always the same. Those melodious and melodious tunes, as long as they sound good, can make people intoxicated.

To be honest, compared to real dramas, drama songs like "Chi Ling" are just simple, low-cost works.

The emergence of opera-style songs is to promote the art of opera and cannot replace it...

But Pu Tong also knows that the publicity of a song is limited after all. Maybe opera can gain short-term attention because of "Chi Ling", but over time, it will return to its previous state.

"Is opera really in decline?"

Lin Yuran murmured to herself next to her. While rehearsing the songs, she saw the actors practicing diligently. Backstage, she saw Gan Hengxu's superb opera performance.

She suddenly became interested in opera. It would be a pity if this traditional art declined like this.

Pu Tong glanced at her and didn't know what to say...

Drama has not declined, but there are fewer people studying drama, and the large amount of information has hindered the reception of drama information. As a category of music, opera, including various types of arias, has not been able to complete the digitization of music information.

With the development of the Internet, if you want to listen to a certain opera, especially a local opera, it is difficult to find the arias on major platforms.

After TV stations stopped broadcasting dramas, not to mention young people, the old people who wanted to watch and listen to dramas had very limited resources. They could only buy radios with enough arias recorded on the market.

There is also a lack of this type of resources on the Internet. It is difficult to find and add songs to the playlist. Dramas based on videos are less likely to be listened to on the go, making dramas further and further away from everyone's daily life.

"How long can the popularity brought by this song last..."

Lin Yuran glanced at Gan Hengxu in the corner who was looking towards the audience, wondering what this guy was doing.

Both of them, outsiders, were worried about the future of opera, but this guy was good at seeing girls through cracks in the door. She had also heard about Gan Hengxu and Sun Yilin.

"The peak of the heat should last for more than two months, and then gradually decrease."

Pu Tong paused and added: "It is precisely because we are outsiders that we are as worried about the future of opera as we are now. In the eyes of opera people, this kind of thing is not important."

"Because no matter whether the opera is popular or not, they will still persist... If you insist on it, why do you care?"

Lin Yuran was choked on the spot. Maybe these opera people don't care about whether opera has a future. All they want to do is to keep singing.

She suddenly looked a little excited. If the song "Chi Ling" can make opera popular for half a year, then with the second and third songs, opera can continue to be popular based on this discussion!

She knew that her idea was naive, and she knew that this method would treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, but she could see all the tears and sweat shed by these opera performers.

"Let's sing that one..."

"Didn't you have no practice?"

Pu Tong paused. He had thought before that there were not many opportunities and occasions to sing opera-style songs, so he planned to sing a few more.

But he has been looking for it for a long time, and there are not many that meet the requirements and are suitable for this stage.

Many opera songs are too crude to be staged, and some opera songs are too stingy in concept and not suitable for publicity.

Then he found two songs, one was "Chi Ling", which Lin Yuran had already sung, and the other one she hadn't practiced yet and couldn't sing even if she wanted to.

Even if she is extremely talented, she can't stand learning two songs in one day!

"Then I'll practice now!"

Lin Yuran took a deep breath and seemed to have made some determination. There were still four hours left in the second half of the opera performance. She would seize the time to practice, maybe it would still be in time.

"I only sang the chorus, not many lyrics, so it will definitely be fine!"

This song is a male and female chorus, so he has no problem with Pu Tong's part. After all, he came up with the song. Can he still sing it?

"You...why are you working so hard?"

Pu Tong calmed down, and after singing a song to the temporary rescue, her task had been completed perfectly. Why did she have to force herself now?

"have no idea."

Lin Yuran didn't tell the truth.

She didn't have any other ideas. She just saw the shadow of her grandmother in this group of artists who persisted in the field of opera.

She used to think her grandma was annoying and stubborn, but now, she understands her grandma even better.

Just think of it as a rebellious girl who broke the hearts of her family, trying to make amends for what she did in the past!
