Chapter 419 Mei Lanfang Grand Theater
So why do most young people don't like opera anymore?

In fact, Mr. Shen knew it in his heart, but he just didn't want the quintessence of the country to disappear in the long river of history like this.

In the final analysis, this is caused by many reasons, such as the shrinking opera market due to the impact of pop music, movies, and TV dramas.

People's entertainment methods have increased, and various entertainment methods such as playgrounds, movie theaters, karaoke halls, bars, game halls, Internet cafes, and ice rinks have appeared, sharing most of the people who originally only entertained opera.

The pace of society is accelerating, and people are often busy with work from five to ten. The pressure of life, work, and industry has greatly increased, resulting in people having no more spare time to listen to dramas.

Of course, there is another very important reason. In the impression of young people, opera has always been a very low form. The first reaction of most young people when they hear opera is that it is something the old people like, which is not in line with the times.

——The above are objective reasons.

Subjectively, the opera world has not innovated, but has been blindly protected as a cultural heritage, so it seems that it is not so important.

"Old Shen, some things are not the fault of young people, but the fault of this era."

Zhang Mingyu is also a young man, so he naturally wants to speak for young people.

Who doesn't want to be happy every day?

However, a person who suffers from 996 is bald, how can he still be in the mood to sit quietly in the theater and listen to the play!

Why do old people like to listen?
It's not because people have fewer things to do when they get old, and they have a lot of time to squander.

"Ugh--"

Old Shen shook his head and sighed, but didn't say any more.

Lone Wolf also doesn't like to listen to operas, and has never heard of them, so he doesn't make any comments.

"It's better to take a break, little one, let's get on with it!"

"This time it's going to be a bang."

Although Lone Wolf made three points before climbing the Great Wall, due to various reasons, Zhang Mingyu failed to do so.But fortunately, he has good physical strength, otherwise he might be out of breath right now.

"Little guy, after arriving at Haohanpo, let's take the cable car down, and I'll take you to watch today's great show—"Farewell My Concubine"."

"Got it!"

So, the two crossed the beacon tower and started a new round of competition...

……

two hours later.

on the cable car.

In the end, Chen Dalin was turned back by the lone wolf and carried back to Haohanpo. Otherwise, it would be dark when he arrived, and it would be a chicken show.

Sitting on the cable car, Chen Dalin was pale and his clothes were soaked.

"I won't come, I won't come, I won't come if I say anything in the future."

Chen Dalin was really scared.

Zhang Mingyu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, your body... can't do it!"

Men are most afraid of being told no, but Chen Dalin has no energy to refute.

Elder Shen also echoed, "Da Lin, the lone wolf is gone, you will stay by my side from now on, get up early every day, and practice Tai Chi with me to keep fit."

When Chen Dalin heard this, his already ugly face became even uglier.

Chen Dalin, who is used to sleeping late, asking him to get up early will kill him!

Who said young people like to sleep in?

Old people like to sleep!

"Da Lin, don't you like watching theater the most, we'll go see it later."

Old Shen comforted Chen Dalin.

When Chen Dalin heard about going to the theater for a while, his whole body became energetic in an instant.

Chen Dalin asked expectantly, "Which play?"

"Farewell My Concubine!"

"Great! I love this play the most!"

Speaking of Peking Opera, Chen Dalin is in "The Drunken Concubine", and his favorite is "Farewell My Concubine".

"Old Shen, which theater are you in?"

Zhang Mingyu wanted to hear if the theater was still the same as before.

"Mei Lanfang Grand Theater."

Hearing Elder Shen's answer, Zhang Mingyu was startled, as if he had gone back in time in an instant.

Who is Mei Lanfang?
A master of Chinese Peking Opera performing arts, together with Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, and Xun Huisheng, they are also known as the "Four Famous Danes".

In Mei Lanfang's more than 50 years of stage life, he developed and improved the singing and performing arts of Peking Opera Danjiao, forming an art school with a unique style, known as the "Mei School".His representative works include "The Drunken Concubine", "The Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers", "Universe Front", "Fishing and Killing Home", etc.

On October 1913, 10, the 28th edition of "Shenbao" commented on him like this:

"Mei Lanfang's Qingshan is also a top-notch person in the capital. He is excellent in color and art. He has long been famous all over the capital. He must have a special skill to move people. Those who are addicted to pear gardens must come and watch together. The first One set will be empty again."

The New York Le Monde stated:
"Mei Lanfang is one of the most outstanding actors I have ever seen. New York has never seen such a performance."

Even if you are not an opera lover, you must have heard of the name "Mei Lanfang".

……

Mei Lanfang Grand Theater.

After Zhang Mingyu woke up, he found that he had reached his destination.

Seeing Zhang Mingyu come back to his senses, Old Shen couldn't help but asked with concern: "Little guy, what's wrong with you, you seemed to lose your mind just now?"

"I'm fine, Mr. Shen, I just remembered something."

Zhang Mingyu naturally couldn't explain it to Mr. Shen, so he could only laugh it off.

"Okay, don't think about it, since you're here, come in and listen carefully!"

While speaking, Elder Shen had already stepped in.

"Old Shen, why did you come here today?"

The dean came out to greet him in person, which shows how honorable Shen Lao's status is.

"Old Song, long time no see!"

"What a long time no see, didn't we just meet a few days ago?!"

"Are you dismantling me again?"

"Hahahaha, okay, this time I brought a new friend, introduce me quickly."

Lao Song looked at Zhang Mingyu.

Old Shen pulled Zhang Mingyu in front of him, and introduced with a smile: "Old Song, this is the Zhang Mingyu I told you about. Didn't you always want to meet him? I brought him here today."

"Comrade Zhang Mingyu, hello, hello!"

Old Song stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Song!"

Zhang Mingyu and Lao Song shook hands.

"For the first time, let me introduce you."

"The theater can accommodate 68 spectators and is divided into upper, middle and lower floors."

"The first floor is a Grade A pool, with more than 300 seats and excellent viewing and viewing;"

"There are five luxurious boxes on the second floor, each box is equipped with a lounge and toilet, and there are special evacuation passages and elevators;"

"Five seats on three floors, the design conforms to the physiological structure of the human body and is comfortable and comfortable."

"The exterior structure of the Grand Theater adopts a modern design concept. The fan-shaped roof truss supported by the steel frame and the glass roof form a dynamic structural balance system, forming a smooth, vivid and musical architectural shape. The interior decoration incorporates Chinese traditions. The essence of the architectural form, red columns, red walls, inlaid with dozens of golden wooden round reliefs, each relief solidifies and reproduces the essence of Peking Opera inheritance over the past 200 years..."

Old Song is like a treasure.

Mei Lanfang Grand Theater not only has a good performance environment, but also has a good viewing effect.All the repertoires performed in this theater are high-quality plays, whether it is Peking Opera, Qin Opera or Hebei Bangzi, they are all fine works that have been honed through thousands of years.Even if you don't know opera, you can feel the charm of traditional art.
