[Commentary] On the afternoon of May 29th, melodious singing came from Xiaoyanglou in Kuanzhai Alley. Many former citizens and tourists stopped and bathed in the sunshine of May, enjoying long-lost street performances. As the first entertainers to return to the streets in Chengdu, Shi Jiajia looked at the pedestrians and felt the "fireworks" of Chengdu again. She expressed her excitement of "return" with a song "Chengdu".
[Same period] (Street entertainer Shi Jiajia) Because our work in Chengdu is now particularly fast, it is the second after Shanghai (row). Because after the epidemic, I now particularly like the "fireworks" on the streets of Chengdu, which gives people a very pleasant and happy feeling.
[Commentary] Shi Jiajia's singing also resonated with the residents and tourists who stopped. Many people said that street performances “swept away” the “haze” brought about by the epidemic, allowing them to be “cured”, and many people took out their mobile phones to record this special return.
[Same period] (Tourist Mr. Song) Their form of performing arts has a great role in promoting the cultural life of citizens. During the epidemic, people may not have too much impact on their material life, but they cannot gather or get together, resulting in a more empty spiritual level. Their form fills this aspect well.
[Commentary] In addition to the people who already know street performances, this restarted performance has also attracted a group of new "fans". Ms. Lin, a citizen, did not understand this form of performance. After seeing the relevant information on the Internet, Ms. Lin made a special trip to the site with her friends for a "first experience".
[Same period] (Citizen Ms. Lin) It's good here, and it's free. It is good to enrich the lives of citizens. Especially the epidemic (period), (in) public (in public), it also makes sense for everyone's safety.
[Commentary] Bi Jiao, the person in charge of the management project of street performers in Chengdu, introduced that in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, this street artist performance project was resumed offline. A street performer resumed work in batches on May 29, 30, and 31.
[Same period] (Bi Jiao, the person in charge of the project management of street performers in Chengdu) We have a total of 60 locations in Chengdu, including districts, cities and counties. We hope to see the artists after one or two weeks of observation The situation of the performance, including the acceptance of the audience, we gradually open up other points.
[Explanation] In addition, Bi Jiao also said that the current form of street performance in Chengdu is still mainly singing, and this year they will also recruit more "fresh blood" to increase the art category. At the same time, they will add more performance spots, hoping to make Chengdu's streets and streets full of artistic atmosphere.
[Same period] (Bi Jiao, person in charge of the performance project of street performers in Chengdu) We will also recruit some other art categories this year, such as some non-legacy, and dance, we also welcome friends with special skills , Can come to sign up. In the opening of points, we will further increase to strive for music in all the streets and alleys of Chengdu.
