The judge from the United States said in fluent English: "I have listened to this play once before. It is full of traditional cultural elements. I personally approve of the actors' acting skills, so I give it 8 points!"
The actors looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
You know, Judge No. 1 has always been very demanding and has very strict requirements, and rarely gives a score above 6.
This time it was given a score of 8, which also represents the high level of this drama.
Almost at the same time, vote counts began to appear on the big screen and seventy-two small screens.
The United States, 1.8 million votes, the United States, 7.6 million votes, Vietnam, 800,000 votes, the African Union, 1.3 million votes...
In the end, the total number of votes reached 130 million.
That is to say, worldwide, the number of people participating in the voting reached an astonishing 130 million!
This result is already very good. During its first tour, "Romeo and Juliet" only received 200 million votes!
"Okay, now please ask all the colleges to conduct the evaluation. The comprehensive rating results will be released later." The host began to connect with the major colleges.
The comprehensive rating refers to the total number of votes, judges' opinions, joint review by major academies, and statistics on ratings and length of audience stay in each country. The data is then combined and calculated using a big data algorithm to form a data model.
The more perfect the data model is, the wider the audience is and the more popular it is.
The comprehensive rating of "Romeo and Juliet" three times is S!
That is a global hit.
S-level blockbusters can be adapted in various ways.
For example, theatrical version, movie version, TV series version, anime version...
A drama can generate at least tens of billions of dollars in value and is the object of competition among various film and television companies.
For example, "Titanic".
A few minutes later, the evaluation results of various colleges appeared on the big screen.
Grade A!
"Let us congratulate the drama 'Memories of a Geisha' for getting an A-grade result." The host was the first to applaud.
In the country of easy life, countless viewers were watching TV and they became excited when they saw this result.
Several drama actors also hugged each other excitedly.
"Memories of a Geisha" received such a high number of votes at the opening, which made many theater troupes that followed it excited.
Especially the second Peking Opera troupe leader who came on stage.
Zhou Yanshi sighed: "It's an A-level start. Is there still hope for domestic opera this time?"
You know, the best result of domestic opera in the global league is only B level.
As for Grade B, it is not worth adapting!
For A-level, moderate adaptation can be made within the country.
For example, the movie version of "Charlotte's Troubles" should also be rated A if it were included in the rating. It was originally a theatrical version and was later adapted into a movie. It cost tens of millions and took in billions at the box office, becoming the biggest dark horse in the film and television box office that year.
"Now, please invite Troupe No. 2 to begin their performance," said the host.
Several Peking Opera actors began to come on stage, there were seven actors in total, including sheng, dan, jing, mo and chou. Their makeup was very delicate and their costumes were also very eye-catching, especially the Wusheng, who had several large dark yellow flags behind him, looking very majestic.
Especially the facial makeup, which is very delicate and complex.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the admiration of countless audiences.
The name of the song "Exploring the Emperor's Tomb" appeared on the big screen behind.
It mainly tells the story of the incompetent imperial concubine who wanted to hand over the throne to Li Liang. After her remonstrance failed, Xu Yanzhao went to the imperial mausoleum late at night to beg the late emperor for protection. That night, he met a general who came to protect the mausoleum, and they encouraged each other again and continued to make bitter remonstrances.
The actors began their performance with wild movements, stunning singing, and the ability to switch between real and fake voices so effortlessly, it was truly stunning.
This was also the first time for many people to see Peking Opera.
Zhou Yanshi also watched it very seriously.
In the box, Song Tianzong said, "Over the years, Peking Opera has become one of the traditional cultural symbols of our country. In order to better promote the development of Peking Opera, I am wondering if your department would like to host and cooperate with foreign performance companies to tour the opera capital of Europe?"
Ning Zheng had considered this a long time ago.
He thought for a while and then said, "I have considered this. Peking Opera is the essence of our country and cannot decline. However, the exquisite acting skills, wonderful singing and rich cultural connotations of Peking Opera are often not fully understood and appreciated by foreign audiences who occasionally watch it. This is a key problem that needs to be solved for Chinese Peking Opera and other opera cultures to go global."
Song Tianzong nodded, agreeing with what Ning Zheng said.
If we abandon some traditional cultural elements, we will lose the proper connotation and the loss will outweigh the gain.
"Is there any way to improve it?" Song Tianzong asked again.
Ning Zheng shook his head: "The living conditions of opera actors are worrying. The wages of actors are generally low. If the usual labor fees are added, the annual income of an average actor is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. As a unit of deficit funding, actors can only get 70% of their wages each month, and the other 30% is supplemented by performance structure wages. That is, if they fail to complete the performance task, they can only get 70% of the salary."
"Talk shows and skits are both cultural and artistic industries, but the income of talk show and skit performers has been rising due to their high exposure in news media, while opera practitioners can only be content to stay at the bottom."
"Moreover, there is no subsidy for rehearsing new plays. It takes at least 2 to 3 months, or even longer, for the troupe to rehearse a new play every year. Especially for the main actors in the play, from the beginning of the formation of the group, they have to read the script, learn singing, practice body movements, coordinate with the editing, directing, music, and art departments, and figure out the characters and strive for perfection. This is a multi-faceted labor that requires energy, physical strength, and endurance."
