Chapter 84

Almost at the same time of the day, many people across the country came across this short video by accident or necessity, including middle-aged people and young people.

Some people dismiss it, they are not interested in this aspect, and they swipe away at will, preferring to listen to some pop or Hip-Hop; The famous artist Li Shengsu was his teacher, so he couldn't help being interested.

But most of them are teenagers around 20 years old, or even still in school. They don't have any special knowledge about Peking Opera and Li Shengsu, a famous Peking Opera artist.

It's not disdain or disgust, it's just that I haven't been in contact with it before, and I don't have any impression. The curious people also sparked a discussion under the self-media video.

"Why does my male god Changle worship a master who has never heard of it? Peking opera actors, do young people listen to Peking opera now?" someone posted on the Internet.

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. After all, Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country. I just searched on Baidu. This Li Shengsu is a very good Peking Opera actor."

"That's right, Tao'er and Shen Changle's "You Long Xi Feng" and the Ga tune "Called Xiao Fan" are fragments from Peking Opera." An enthusiastic netizen downstairs explained.

"By the way, no one is curious about the opera version of Zhaohuatai? It sounds so good. I searched the Internet and couldn't find the original version. Can someone have the full version? Ask online!"

While discussing in the comment area, a piece of information made it to the top of the list very quickly, obviously arousing the likes of many people, and everyone felt the same way.

In the secluded courtyard of the imperial family, Master Mei of the Mei family was lying on a rocking chair in the living room, watching TV quietly.

On the legs, a rather fat and silly orange cat was sleeping on its stomach, purring occasionally, proving how comfortable it was to sleep.

Although Master Mei and his wife Lin Liyuan did not have a son or a daughter, the old couple are not alone in their lives. They not only raise more than ten cats, parrots and other birds, but also have apprentices who often visit their homes. Said it was bland and happy.

"Bao Chen, come and watch this video, Sheng Su taught me how to use it for a long time." In the kitchen outside the living room, a surprised female voice said.

After hearing the sermon, Master Mei said leisurely: "Then Liyuan, why don't you just come over, it's a critical time for me to watch a TV series."

Lin Liyuan, the wife of Master Mei in the kitchen in the distance, said with a smile: "This is news about your apprentice Li Shengsu and your new disciple. Are you sure you don't want to come and take a look? If you don't, I'll close it."

Master Mei stood up from the reclining chair in a jerk. The chubby orange cat didn't react for a while, and fell directly to the ground. He couldn't help complaining in his eyes, and condemned the shit shovel officer for being unreliable.

"Here, come, show me!" Master Mei trotted a few steps, and curiously took the phone from his wife, Lin Liyuan.

A video on the phone was paused, Master Mei lightly tapped the middle button to play, and the video started...

The video is only about half a minute long, but Master Mei has watched it several times, and even clicked on the comments to read the first few articles one by one. His expression is sometimes smiling, sometimes serious, and sometimes frowning. I don’t know how to think about it. something.

"What's the matter Baobai? Why don't you see you happy? The popularity of the video is quite high. This shows that young people are still interested in Beijing opera. You think it's not good for Sheng Su to participate in this kind of live broadcast... are you angry? ?” Lin Liyuan asked with some concern.

As a partner who has accompanied Master Mei for many years, Lin Liyuan naturally knows Master Mei's affection for Peking Opera and his persistence in the art of Peking Opera of the Mei School passed down to him by his father.

Master Mei shook his head lightly and said: "You also know that this time it was my intention to ask Sheng Su to take Shen Changle as his disciple, so how could he be angry?"

"I'm just lamenting that it was originally a traditional art that had already faded away, but cross talk has regained its vitality thanks to Guo Taoer's Deyun Society."

"But what about Peking Opera? It's still the same. If it wasn't because it took over a national quintessence, it might have been on the verge of extinction like other operas."

"Liyuan, you don't have to make me happy. To put it bluntly, this video can be very popular. In fact, young people are not very interested in Peking Opera, but rely on the popularity of Shen Changle and the Deyun Club behind it."

There was a lot of loneliness in Master Mei's words, and he saw the whole thing very thoroughly.

"Baoxi..."

Lin Liyuan wanted to comfort Master Mei, but she didn't know where to start. She herself was originally the art consultant of Mei Lanfang Peking Opera Troupe, so why didn't she know about the dilemma that Peking Opera faced in today's society.

Master Mei waved his hand and smiled suddenly: "It's okay, I just feel a little bit sentimental for a while, even though I say that, it's a good thing after all, as long as it can make young people more exposed to Peking Opera."

"Don't say it's my apprentice, even if I live broadcast for a while, it's nothing to be on TV."

"I think Shen Changle and Sheng Su's adaptation of "Zhaohuatai" is not bad. Although it is not a complete Beijing opera, everyone likes it."

"Aren't you afraid that the behavior of those two children will be scolded by those old Beijing opera guys or fans? For them, this kind of other elements combined with Peking opera is a bit deviant." Lin Liyuan asked with a smile.

Master Mei Baochen shook his head and said, "I'll bear the blame. If I live for a day, I won't let the children be wronged. I'd like to see what else they can come up with."

"Needless to mention them, isn't the way we lined up "The Imperial Concubine of the Tang Dynasty" based on traditional Peking opera combined with the concept of modern stage art, combining symphony, chorus, dance and other artistic forms, still being scolded?"

"If you really watch the play "The Drunken Concubine", you have to watch it for 5 days to see the classic things in it. Now we condense it so that the audience can hear all the classic arias and classic dances in one night. How wonderful One thing...it's a pity...some old stubborn people will never understand."

"Don't worry, as long as Shen Changle makes it, it will be beneficial to the development of Peking Opera as a whole. I fully support it. What I want is a prosperous Peking Opera that is loved and supported by the public, not a Peking Opera that is high in the mountains and flowing in the water. It will eventually die out. .”

"Do you think you can do it with your new disciple?" Lin Liyuan said.

"I don't know, but at least..."

Master Mei shook his head, raised the phone lightly in his hand and said, "At least this is a good start, isn't it? The video has almost a million likes."

"Ah chirp!!!"

Shen Changle, who was in Jin Province, sneezed several times in succession.

Li Shengsu on the side said worriedly: "What's the matter, Chang Le, have a cold? Didn't you have a good rest recently, or don't write, you go back and take a cold medicine to rest."

Shen Changle waved his hand, and handed over a piece of paper that he had just finished writing: "It's okay, Master, maybe someone is talking about me, the lyrics and music have been written, take a look."

"I hope some girl is talking about you. I'm quite a grown man, and I just play around by myself every day." Li Shengsu complained, and took the paper over for a closer look.

""Chi Ling"?"
