Chapter 128: Hot Topics in Opera
"What a Chi Ling! Such a pure heart! So moving!"
There was a thunderous cheer from the audience.
The veteran artists in the first row also stood up and the applause lasted for a long time.
Mei Lanlan completed her first official performance and was so excited that she couldn't calm down for a long time.
It was not only because she was shocked by Pei Yanzhi when she first got this story, but also because of her own love for opera and the stage.
At this time, the audience gave her enthusiastic feedback!
Director Xu was keeping an eye on the real-time ratings backstage.
Looking at the sky-piercing curve chart, that bright red 5.96%, everyone was cheering and celebrating!
He knew that this performance was a success.
More people will know, understand and love opera!
Iron Man and Mei Lanlan have made a good start. Whether they can retain people in the future depends on the charm of opera and the skills of these opera artists.
5.96%!
This number is deeply imprinted in the minds of every staff member backstage.
This number is not just the peak viewership for the opera channel in many years.
Even among all the other programs on CCTV, there are only a handful that can surpass it.
Soon, "Red Ling" and its ratings became a hot topic.

......
Riding on this wave of popularity, "The Play" was officially released.
"Red Ling" debuted at the top of the list.
Successfully ranked among the top 3 hot searches on the entire network.
And the heat wave caused by the play has just begun.
Of the 8 songs, 2 have already been released, but the popularity remains unabated.
The song attracted record-breaking ratings and is still on the trending search list.
The remaining 5 songs will definitely attract attention.
Whether it is the entertainment circle, the opera circle or the audience that is attracted.
A huge crowd flocked to the beautiful music.
I clicked on this picture of "Play".
"play?"
"Since it's called a play, does that mean it's all opera, or at least has opera elements?"
"The first three songs are already very good. What surprises are there next?"
"'Pipa Xing' is poetry, 'The New Drunken Concubine' is Peking opera, and 'Chi Ling' is Kunqu opera. Are there other forms of opera?"
"Yes, there are many kinds of opera in Daxia, including Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, Ping Opera, Henan Opera, Kunqu Opera, Sichuan Opera, shadow puppetry... And opera itself is a combination of drama and music, just like "Chi Ling", there is a story behind it, which is both pleasant and interesting..."
"Does opera have so many categories? It sounds very interesting!"
"I was moved by Pei Yanzhi's story. I'll listen to this one first and then find out more."
"Yes, Mr. Wei from the Chinese Opera Academy owns a theater in Peking. There are performances every week. If you're interested, you can go there to experience the atmosphere."
......
A huge amount of traffic is impacting Dongting.
"What's going on?"
"Uh uh uh, the opera channel teamed up with Iron Man to release an album, and the server crashed!"
"What's going on? Didn't you prepare in advance?"
"I knew it in advance, thinking that this track wouldn't be..."
You should know that there are tens of millions of people online at Dongting every day, so many early warning mechanisms were established early on.
Nothing has happened in all these years.
Especially opera? This is a relatively unpopular genre.
Even if Iron Man is added, no special processing is required.
But now, what can we do?
"Increase bandwidth, expand capacity, quickly! Recommend it to the homepage!"
"good!"
The supervisor didn't blame them, who could have thought of that.
Not only the songs were released along with the album, but the opera channel also released the stories behind the songs on its official Weibo account.
“This song is so sentimental!”
“This is Cantonese opera!”
“Yes, it’s sung in Cantonese!”
“It sounds nice!”
"You can watch and listen to the story, it will make you cry even more!"
"Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass, Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, attacked Peking, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain, and the Ming Dynasty fell..."
"My heart longs to be buried together, like a pair of mandarin ducks snuggling together!"
"A wedding is a day of burial!"
"Changping and Zhou Shixian! A pair of star-crossed lovers!"
"I'm crying my ass off!"
"The princess died for her country, so she did it with dignity!"
"Let me tell you a ghost story. Changping is A Ke's master!"
“!!!”
"The Deer and the Cauldron? The Broken-Armed Nun?"
"That weird and aloof nun? Wei Xiaobao's female master?"
"right!"
"I'm not sad anymore all of a sudden!"
"You guys who are obsessed with looks, get out!"
"Didn't he die for his country? How can he still be called Master Cheng?"
"Hot Fact: The Deer and the Cauldron is a novel! It's fabricated!"
"I don't blame you, go have fun..."
......
“This one is quite high!”
"Huangmei Opera?"
"Female prince consort?"
"That sounds interesting!"
"Huangmei Opera is said to have a strong rural flavor, but I don't think it's that rustic!"
“It’s a bit rustic, but very down-to-earth!”
"Hahaha, love it!"
"Iron Man can write epic songs. He's the king when it comes to being down-to-earth!"
"Feng Suzhen, Li Zhaoting!"
"I left home to save Li Lang, but unexpectedly I became the top scorer in the imperial examination!"
"This could definitely be turned into a novel or TV series. A woman disguised as a man, a comeback to become the top scholar, a strong female protagonist!"
“!!!”
"Here's the pen, you write!"
"Can you please write the full text? I'm waiting online and it's urgent."
"Put your hips on the ground lightly, and kick me when you're done!"
"Kick!"
.......
"Stringing play?"
"What kind of play is this?"
“This is a puppet show!”
"Puppetry, also known as puppet show, involves manipulating the puppets while performing the opera."
"I haven't heard anyone mention puppetry in years. It was only on TV a long time ago."
“Is it almost lost?”
"Yeah, forget about singing, how about making puppets? Not the kind of toys children use nowadays! Not the horror stories like Lingna Belle!"
"...It seems a bit of a shame. It feels like such an interesting art form is about to be lost."
“This song is very popular!”
"You should read the story... the life of the puppet master and the puppet is really heartbreaking."
"When you hold my hand, I dance like a flying bird. When you lead me, I know when to advance and when to retreat. I follow you through joy and sorrow, and my every move is in accordance with yours. Isn't this just a puppet?"
"Despite loving his life, he didn't get a better life from it. Instead, he became lonely and poor."
"But after he burned the puppet, all his life's work was gone, and so was his hope."
"At the end of the puppet's life, he tried to burn himself out in exchange for a little warmth for the puppet master, in order to repay his years of companionship and care."
"It turned to ash in the smoke...it's really burned!"
"The relationship between them has transcended the material level..."
.......
“I can’t comment on that!”
“The song is beautiful, but the story is so heartbreaking!”
“This is an art film!”
"...could also be a horror movie."
