Chapter 804 The decline of opera!
At the dinner table, Zhao Yikang didn't put on airs like an old man. Of course, facing Lin Ruofeng and Guan Yanmiao, he couldn't put on airs. Besides, he had something to ask for from them.

Therefore, Zhao Yikang was naturally amiable at the dinner table, and had a good chat with Lin Ruofeng and Guan Yanmiao.But what is surprising is that Zhao Yikang didn't mention anything about opera at the beginning.

Faced with this, Lin Song, Chen Kuo, and Gu Shitong naturally wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up, after all, they still trusted Zhao Yikang.

Of course, seeing that the other party didn't mention it, Lin Ruofeng wouldn't open his mouth either.

This meal is like a New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family.

after a meal.

Zhao Yikang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and after drinking some wine, he opened his mouth slowly and said, "Mr. Lin, why do people nowadays lose interest in the quintessence of Chinese culture?"

Hearing this, Lin Ruofeng naturally knew the meaning of Zhao Yikang's words, but he smiled and shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because now is the Internet age, everyone has a mobile phone and can watch everything."

"Yes! You can watch anything!"

Zhao Yikang seemed to grasp Lin Ruofeng's words, and sighed: "I watched everything, but only those who didn't watch operas. You said, calligraphy, Chinese paintings, even clothing, and ancient etiquette are all read, but they are also passed down from ancestors. There are very few viewers of opera, what is the source of this?"

"Mr. Zhao is confused?" Lin Ruofeng asked back.

"It's hard to understand!" Zhao Yikang nodded solemnly, as if he really didn't understand why. "Mr. Lin, do you know?"

"I don't know much." Lin Ruofeng replied lightly.

"I would like to hear the details." Zhao Yikang said indifferently.

"Then I'll talk to the old man." Lin Ruofeng didn't care whether Zhao Yikang's expression was true or not, since the other party wanted to know, then he made it clear. First of all, he admired Zhao Yikang's actions and knew the root cause. I can understand where to break through, and secondly, I don’t know whether the other party agrees with what I say. Since it is possible to cooperate, at least the two should not be too exclusive, right?
Otherwise, when I say it's okay, you say it's not, and you say it's tangible, I don't agree. How can we continue to cooperate?
Since Guan Yanmiao has worked hard on this matter, it seems that the country also wants operas, such as Chinese paintings and Chinese medicine, to be liked by more people and to be inherited.

Therefore, Lin Ruofeng didn't need to hide it, but after careful consideration, he organized his words and said, "I think there are five reasons for the decline of opera."

When Zhao Yikang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and Chen Kuo, Lin Song, and Gu Shitong all calmed down and listened carefully to Lin Ruofeng's words.

Guan Yanmiao poured Lin Ruofeng a cup of tea beside him to sober up.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Ruofeng said: "The first reason is that the technical level and artistic skills of opera artists have weakened, which has triggered a chain reaction. Due to the limitations of ideological and cultural level and artistic creativity, many artists cannot form iconic characters. Personal artistic style can't be better to make the opera I performed have a high memory charm. This has formed a crowd of "all kinds of operas are similar" to the audience who may not have much knowledge of opera appreciation General impression, today's society that pays so much attention to the value of symbols, has no characteristics, absolutely not."

When Lin Ruofeng said the first reason, Zhao Yikang looked at Chen Kuo and the others after thinking for a while, and nodded in agreement.When Chen Kuo and Lin Songdi heard Lin Ruofeng's first words, they were somewhat dissatisfied, but they also knew what Zhao Yikang's eyes were, and they also understood that Lin Ruofeng spoke thoroughly.

Yes, because their opera skills are far from that of Zhao Yikang.As for Zhao Yikang, although he is a big horn, his life skills are the result of decades of hard work. Now that there are so many young people, which one can spend so much time and energy on learning such things?
In the golden age of Chinese opera, everyone would hum and sing a few words, but now the most famous opera stars are not the same as those in that era.

Compared with those star concerts and operas, it can be regarded as shabby.

In this way, the commercial value of operas is also reduced, which leads to a serious reduction in the economic income of opera artists. Except for some national operas that can still be broadcast on TV to participate in opera awards, other opera actors are performing while farming to make ends meet. , the practice time is greatly reduced.

The so-called "you know if you don't practice for one day, your peers know if you don't practice for two days, and the audience knows if you don't practice for three days", if the skills are not good, it is the beginning of decline.

Seeing that the four of them nodded slightly, Lin Ruofeng took another sip of tea and continued: "The second reason is very simple. The way of transmission is too traditional. Nowadays, opera still uses the mode of 'oral teaching', which is different from the mode of communication in contemporary media society. There are contradictions in modernization, and the inheritors of opera are in a big environment of contemporary communication trends, and their own promotion methods are not enough."

Hearing this, Zhao Yikang thought for a while, and finally nodded.People like Chen Kuo and Lin Song who have learned opera or love opera understand Lin Ruofeng's words better.

There is no standardization and systematization in the teaching of modern opera, but only the basic art skills, followed by continuous self-practice.Xiang etiquette, traditional Chinese medicine, clothing, calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, etc. have already been integrated into the education system. In primary and secondary schools and universities, textbook knowledge has been formed for systematic and standardized learning.

As for the dissemination of artists, there are also problems. Although there are videos on the Internet, etc., they are only extensive and scattered promotions. Not only is the scope small, but it cannot attract more professionals and enthusiasts to pay attention to and study this art. .

As for commercial performances, only people in the "circle" know about it. Besides, how much do outsiders know?
Lin Ruofeng looked at the crowd and continued: "The third thing is the opera itself. Compared with popular songs, the difficulty, perfection, and elegance of opera itself make it more difficult to create new ones. It has no characteristics, no innovation, and it is hard to imagine how difficult it is to become popular.”

In this way, Zhao Yikang and others naturally have a deep understanding. The things of opera are all stylized and polished bit by bit, and they are sung to those old songs, so naturally they have long been tired of listening to them.

"The fourth is the issue of appreciation. Modern forms are rich and diverse. It is no longer the era of lack of material and spirit. There are better, more intuitive, and refreshing things. People are not willing to spend their brains watching operas? I don't know the allusions. , things that you can’t understand if you don’t know how to sing.”

Lin Ruofeng explained the latter reason in one breath: "The last one is environmental issues. In the past, we had to invite opera singers for everything during festivals. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. Now? Shopping, dinner parties, KTV, etc. have long been rich and varied. And the protection mechanism is not perfect, other Chinese medicine, etiquette, etc., which one has not opened a major in the university, research? How many operas are there? How many experts are there? "

Hearing Lin Ruofeng mention the five root problems, Zhao Yikang and others' faces became extremely ugly.

Each of these problems made them feel that it was impossible to restore opera to its former glory.

It is even hard to say whether opera can survive in the future.

Nowadays, many traditional arts are lost, is opera also going to follow suit?
Thinking of this, the hearts of the four couldn't help but feel a little cold.
