On May 5, the Ninth National Congress of the Chinese Composers Association closed in Beijing, and Feng Gong was inaugurated as the new chairman amid applause.
Taking over the heavy "baton" from the previous chairman Jiang Kun, Feng Gong said: "After the conference announced me as the ninth chairman of the China Ququ Association, I was both excited and happy, and at the same time felt a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. As the new chairman, I will do my best to serve the vast number of opera artists, send laughter to the people, and make new achievements and contributions. ”
Feng Gong is one of the most well-known opera performers in China, and his greeting of "audience friends, I want to die for you" is cordial and ironed, imprinted in the memories of generations of Spring Festival Gala audiences. In addition to his Feng's crosstalk style being loved by the audience, he has also created many flesh-and-blood "little characters" in film and television dramas.
Now, this old artist who is close to the people and deeply rooted in the people has added a new responsibility. He will lead all opera artists to connect with the people's emotions, listen to the people's voices, absorb the people's wisdom, and "let the flower of the peony of the quyi bloom forever for the people".
Feng Gong expounded the work priorities of the Ququ Association in the next five years from five aspects. The first is to focus on the center and serve the overall situation, "strive to give play to the unique advantages and role of quyi in serving the overall situation of the party and the state, and closely integrate the pursuit of life and artistic life with the future of the country, the destiny of the nation, and the aspirations of the people." The second is to continue to strengthen the construction of the work style of the music art industry and lay a solid foundation for the healthy development of the music art industry. Feng Gong said earnestly: "Qu artists should pursue the lofty ideal of both virtue and art, and jointly create a beautiful music ecology. "The third is to continuously introduce excellent opera art works and outstanding opera talents, continue to increase the training of leaders in the field of opera art, top-notch talents in new opera art groups, backbone middle-aged and young opera artists, and grassroots outstanding opera artists, and provide them with more broad stages and development space to show their own value and show their artistic charm." It is necessary to provide suggestions for the cultivation of opera art professionals, so that there are successors to the quyi. The fourth is to give play to the leading role of the Qu Art Association in the construction of the industry, continue to strengthen liaison and coordination with various groups and member units, and actively hold learning and training, exhibitions, and style collection and creation activities, "unite the vast number of music practitioners and enthusiasts, and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the music art industry". The fifth is to deepen exchanges with foreign folk culture, increase exchanges with Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and continuously expand the dissemination and influence of opera art.
"In the next five years, I hope that the art of quyi in the garden of literature and art can blossom everywhere, and Ji Ziyan will be red!" He said loudly.
