Chapter 264: Why Didn’t You Say It Earlier?



Upon hearing this, the head of the Peking Opera Troupe's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he stared at Shen Xian in disbelief.

In such occasions, Zhou Yanshi was still at the table, and they were all a group of polite people.

But this young man is so vulgar and impolite?

What about education?

“You, you, you…” The head of the Peking Opera Troupe pointed at Chen Xian, his entire right arm trembling, his eyes wide open.

Chen Xian just glanced at him lightly: "If you are not as skilled as others, don't talk too much and bring negative emotions to others."

Phew.

The head of the Peking Opera Troupe only felt like he was stabbed in the chest.

I have been singing Peking Opera for more than 20 years and have won many domestic traditional cultural awards. I am also a close friend of Zhou Xing from the Zhou family. Wherever I go, people will give me face.

But now, I am looked down upon by a junior. How can I bear it?

"Mr. Zhou!" The head of the Peking Opera Troupe said in a dull voice, suppressing his anger. "As the saying goes, a person should be both virtuous and talented. I don't know how good this young man's acting skills are, but his moral character is really worrying!"

Zhou Yanshi ignored him, but gently picked up the teacup in front of him, blew on it, and said lightly: "You provoked him first."

Huh?

The director of the Peking Opera Troupe was stunned for a moment. He felt as if thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and then they were forced back!

What a shame!

I originally wanted to let Zhou Yanshi judge the matter, but this old guy Zhou Yanshi actually favors Chen Xian?

He is not convinced!

But no matter how unwilling you are, you have to hold it in!

Then he looked at Zhou Xingzheng.

Zhou Xingzheng has a very good relationship with me, and he is also a Peking Opera singer. His biggest dream is to become the founder of the Zhou School of Peking Opera. Over the years, we have often discussed the development and techniques of Peking Opera.

I think Zhou Xingzheng should help me out. At the very least, he could criticize Chen Xian and make me feel better.

But what about Zhou Xingzheng?

She didn't even look at him, and said indifferently, "Just take care of yourself."

Aren't you talking too much?

What does it have to do with you if they are eating with big mouthfuls of food?

This is a banquet, isn't it normal for people to eat a little more?

You can't just attack others when you are in a bad mood and have prejudice against them, right?

The other people at the table just kept their eyes on the nose and their noses on the heart, and didn't get involved.

Song Yiyao raised her head and looked directly at Chen Xian for the first time.

There's something wrong with Zhou Yanshi and Zhou Xingzheng's attitudes. They are very biased towards Chen Xian. What's the reason?

You know, there are not many people among the younger generation in Kyoto who Zhou Yanshi favors.

My eldest brother counts as one, Meng Yanzhou from the Meng family counts as one, and the eldest young master of the Qi family counts as half.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Shen Xian did not press on to win, but said calmly, "If I fail on the stage, I won't blame anyone, and I won't regard other people's eating and drinking as a kind of impoliteness."

"I will improve myself, correct myself, and think about how to make my work more perfect."

"Instead of complaining here."

The head of the Peking Opera Troupe's face turned red, turning the color of liver.

Unable to utter a word, he lowered his head, with an indescribable sense of shame in his eyes.

It's really asking for trouble.

"Okay, let's eat first." Zhou Yanshi ended the farce with one sentence.

When Shen Xian had almost finished eating, Zhou Yanshi suddenly spoke up and asked Song Yiyao: "Xiao Song, everyone says you are the most talented woman in Kyoto. Tell me, how should the traditional opera culture break through?"

The most talented woman in Kyoto?

Chen Xian became interested. This title is very impressive!

"Innovation, simplification, and integration." Song Yiyao said, "Innovation means innovating the repertoire. If we want to go global, we need to launch emotional and sentimental repertoires that are in line with current trends. Simplification means simplifying the scripts so that some lines in the repertoire are easy to translate without losing the original flavor. As for integration, we can incorporate modern elements."

There was a thoughtful look in everyone's eyes.

And Shen Xian's eyes lit up.

After all, I have awakened the memory of the earthlings and can look at opera culture from a God's perspective. I know how to promote it to the world.

But Song Yiyao didn’t have that, but her idea was completely correct!

Mo Wei nodded: "Yes, Miss Song is right."

Taozi Baby already had an intuitive feeling, because the opera style created by Chen Xian is a fusion of traditional culture and modern elements.

"Yes, I think Miss Song's idea is very correct, but how to simplify it?" asked another team leader.

Song Yiyao smiled and said, "I have considered streamlining the lines and plot, but I found that once it is streamlined, the original cultural connotation will be lost, so I am also considering it."

Zhou Yanshi turned to look at Shen Xian and asked, “Xiao Shen, what do you think? Do you support what Xiao Song said?”

Shen Xian was finally full, and after hearing this, he picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: “Miss Song is absolutely right, the fundamental reason why traditional opera culture is difficult to go global is that the threshold for viewing is too high!”

"The costumes are gorgeous, the props are exquisite, the facial makeup is complicated, and there are many characters. These are advantages, but also disadvantages."

"You can do a survey to find out how many Chinese people know what the roles of Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou are?"

“How many Chinese people know how many singing styles there are?”

"They don't know, and if they don't know, they don't want to understand, and if they don't understand, they are not interested."

"So I think that if we want to promote opera culture to the world, the first thing we need to do is to launch simplified or segmented performances to lower the threshold for viewing in light of the fast-paced lives of modern audiences!"
