[Explanation] Wang Peiyu, a famous Peking opera leader, led the two anchors into the Shanghai Peking Opera House, from the practice room to the costume warehouse, from the dressing room to the Chinese courtyard, around the theme of "traveling through time and space", and completely unveiling the world of Peking Opera through live broadcast Traditional beauty.
On the afternoon of June 2nd, the reporter saw in the rehearsal hall that the actors in the opera were hanging their voices and sitting in concert with the luthier, while the actors in the martial arts were playing guns, dancing swords, kicking and rolling. The theater is now full of energy. "One minute on stage, ten years off stage", the striking ten words in the rehearsal hall remind the actors and actresses to practice their internal skills painstakingly, not to be slack.
The reporter noticed that the actors in the rehearsal hall were not unfamiliar with the arrival of the anchors and kindly interacted with netizens. It turned out that under the epidemic situation, the traditional opera performance industry is also seeking change, and the Shanghai Peking Opera House has begun to promote the quintessential art through live broadcast through the new media platform.
[Same period] (Zhang Fan, Dean of the Shanghai Peking Opera House) In fact, it should be said that it was in a closed state throughout February. We are also wondering whether this state will last for a relatively long time, so slowly, in fact Consider this issue online and on the cloud (end). (We) advocate that everyone practice their own exercises at home. After putting some small videos recorded by everyone at home on the Internet, the effect should be very good.
[Commentary] Zhang Fan, the dean of the Shanghai Peking Opera House, revealed that on February 26, the Shanghai Peking Opera House and the live broadcast platform jointly created the "National Online Concert". The actors performed the Peking Opera classics online, which attracted fans from all over the country to make an appointment to watch. The number of people online has reached 150,000, and the number of Weibo fans has risen directly from the previous 1,000 to 100,000, opening a new window for the spread of Chinese national art.
[Same period] (Zhang Fan, Dean of the Shanghai Peking Opera House) This is a somewhat unexpected effect. Because if we perform in the theater before the epidemic, how many tickets we sell is actually how many viewers and how many audiences. Then this window was opened at once on the Internet, but I believe that there must be an old audience in 150,000 (persons), but I believe more of them have not paid attention to Peking Opera in the past, or have not seen Peking Opera performances before. The existence of such a group of people. In the past two or three months, we have done nearly 6 live broadcast events, then it should be said that the effect received is very obvious. In the future, once the performance is banned, we will not give up the position of new media, we will have an interactive or complementary (performance) form of online and offline.
【Explanation】In addition to live broadcasting, how to make more people like Peking Opera is also a question for Peking Opera artists to think about. Qingxiu's suspicious Wang Yuyu is a pioneer in breaking down the dimension wall of Peking Opera. In recent years, she has participated in variety shows, made short videos, and opened concerts, which is gradually making Peking Opera popular. During the epidemic, Wang Peiyu recorded China's first Beijing opera talk show "See you on stage" to break the content barriers of drama and variety, using the young people's stalks to smile, and then cooperate with the later brain hole packaging. All-encompassing, truly realized the original intention of making more people fall in love with Beijing Opera.
[Same period] (Peking opera master Wang Juyu) The talk show was recorded during the epidemic this year, and it was recorded in March. Of course, the preparatory period has been very well prepared, and has experienced two years of planning and preparation time. This is something I personally want to do in recent years, because Peking Opera should have its own variety show. In the stage of variety show, the truth is (my) because I want to spread Peking Opera. If you want to spread it, to spread it effectively, you have to go to a place where there are people, especially where we have many young people. What do young people care about now? Variety is a good place to go, so for me, variety is a means, not an end.
[Commentary] Wang Peiyu said that Peking Opera is actually very fun. In addition to the form and content of fun, Peking Opera is spreading more and more close to the habits and preferences of young people. It is not too late to promote Peking Opera.
[Same period] (Peking opera master Wang Yuyu) People's pursuit of material life is actually limited, but the pursuit of the spiritual world can be unlimited. Well, in the past few years, it can be said that our traditional art, especially opera culture, has not been popularized so widely in the world of young people. So I want to start today, and it’s not too late. From today, it will go in a better direction, and it will also bring opera art, opera culture, traditional art, and traditional culture to the lives of young people. . Eat, drink, and play, and you can watch the show at the same time, this is a good way.
