Chapter 129 Daxia's Renaissance
"This is Suzhou dialect, the soft Wu dialect."
"My bones are brittle!"
“It’s so sweet!”
"Did she pour all the honey in Suzhou into her mouth?!"
"Mom, don't talk to me like that. I'm a big man and I can't stand it!"
"A pipa and a piece of music can conquer me!"
"Little lady, if you play one more song, I'll give you all the money. Can I transfer it to Alipay?"
...
“This is Suzhou Pingtan!”
"This guy not only sings well, but also plays the pipa well!"
"The splendor of Jiangnan, the elegance of Jinling, a paradise on earth!"
"Wearing a cheongsam and singing in the soft Wu dialect, sipping a cup of Longjing tea and eating snacks, the rain falls outside, the mist and rain are in the south of the Yangtze River, along the Qinhuai River, and in Jinling!"
“There’s a picture!”
“No wonder the ancients fell in love with brothels!”
“I want to go!”
“Is there any place in Suzhou where I can listen to this?”
“There are storytelling venues, but there are very few performances. No one likes to listen to them these days!”
"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't even want to hear it?!"
"Give me the address. I'll go over there next week."
"I want one too!"
"For you, but this is not the song they are singing."
“Can I order this one?”
"Sure, as long as they know how to do it."
...
“Hokkien!”
“This is Taiwanese opera from the Bay Area!”
“There are such unpopular ones!”
“This song is also quite popular!”
“I love this song!”
"Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan!"
"Stay in the cold cave and dig wild vegetables! Eighteen years?"
"There's no hope for love-brain!"
"Xue Pinggui married Princess Dai Zan of Xiliang..."
"Modern Chen Shimei!"
“This is a bit difficult to judge!”
"Love-sick people think this is a love story, but I think this is social news!"
"I still want to be the prime minister's daughter!"
"Girls, look carefully, this is the love story we should watch!"
"This is a cautionary tale! Don't dig up wild vegetables!"
"Wake up your love brain!"
"Respect, blessing, lock..."
"I've shared it on WeChat Moments as a warning and education!"
The 8 songs exploded in various circles with different forms and highlights.
The popularity of blogs and music is increasing rapidly.
There is basically no suspense, 1-6 are all occupied by "Drama".
The other two songs have been released for some time.
"The New Drunken Concubine" ranked eleventh, and "Pipa Song" ranked eighteenth.
But the momentum is building and the gap is gradually narrowing.
The first-line singer ranked 7th quit.
"I was second yesterday! Now I'm afraid I can't even hold on to seventh place!"
"My condolences..."
"I've already said that we can only fight for 9th place."
“It’s horrible!”
"They come with great force, and they are airborne!"
“And there’s official support!”
"Last night's 'Red Ling' drove the entire internet crazy!"
"I even looked up history to see if there was a person named Pei Yanzhi. I just don't believe that such a complete and profound story is fabricated."
"What's the result?"
“No results yet…”
"Can you write a song like this?"
“…”
"I haven't figured out the whole Chinese style yet!"
"Well, the quality of their songs is there, we can't beat them with a song competition."
"Besides, Peking opera, Cantonese opera, Kunqu opera, puppet show, Taiwanese opera, Pingtan opera..."
“It was the first time I knew there were so many types of opera!”
"And don't you mention it, it sounds really nice!"
"The combination is also very good, and the general public can easily accept it."
"I can't figure it out! Even if you teach me step by step, I probably won't be able to write it."
"And there are stories later on, eight stories, as well as poetry and history... What's wrong with this guy's brain?"
"Everyone uses songs to fight, how much stuff does he have behind it?"
"Everyone in the opera world is going crazy, okay? These past two days are like a holiday!"
"A lot of people asked what kind of opera the song was about, where they could see a performance, and if they could learn it."
"There are a few more people on the opera channel whose comments are about to explode!"
"This guy is really good at it. He has both means and depth. This marketing is strategic. And he's not just dabbling in it. He's taken it so deeply into opera!"
"Last time it was folk music, this time it's opera, right?"
"He gave me the feeling that pop music was just a medium, a tool, and he wanted to do so much more than that!!"
“This is the Renaissance!”
!!!
This conclusion is absolutely correct.
Weiyun Theater in Peking was originally built by several teachers to inherit and promote opera.
It is more of a public welfare activity and also allows students and actors in the troupe to practice.
The venue is small and can seat about 200 people.
Have some tea, eat some cakes, and watch an opera performance.
There are not many plays, just 2-3, which are mixed together and performed every Saturday.
The rest of the time it is run as a teahouse.
It’s not that they don’t want to open more, but there are really not many people watching.
The most ironic thing is that the crowds during the show are even worse than when there are no shows...
Even though the ticket is only 20 yuan...
Less than a week after the release of "The Play", this small teahouse can be described as booming!
After the Opera Month Gala ended, many people online began asking if there was a place where they could listen to opera.
The audience in Peking found this place.
Moreover, it is Teacher Wei's place, so it has a certain official nature.
Starting from Monday, I received calls asking about this.
"Is there any opera performance today?"
"Our show is on Saturday, you can come directly, there are usually seats available."
By Thursday, many people had come in person.
"No performance today?"
"It's tomorrow night. Why don't you book a ticket online?"
"Okay, let's have a pot of tea first."
The staff saw that it was not even 6 o'clock yet and the place was almost full with people.
This teahouse or theater was full of customers for the first time!
Moreover, many young people came to ask explicitly that they came to watch the show.
The staff was unsure.
At this rate, we may not be able to accommodate everyone on Saturday.
Sure enough, on Saturday, the benches inside were already full and there was a long line at the door!
The staff looked and saw that it was only 5 o'clock. Isn't it lunchtime?
You guys are queuing up just to watch a show? You're not eating?
I'm afraid there are more than 500 people here, and I can't squeeze them in no matter how hard I try.
But many people beg for help.
Just say that you are from out of town and are about to leave Beijing. This is your only chance, and you won’t leave until you see Teacher Wei.
The theater staff had never seen such a scene before, so they felt sorry for the audience and added standing seats.
But it still didn't work. This empty little theater felt so crowded for the first time.
Zhao Lili is Teacher Wei’s student. When she came here, she thought she had come to the wrong place.
The traffic was so bad that she couldn't get through. She thought there was a car accident ahead.
As time passed, I realized I couldn't even walk the 100 meters ahead of me. I also had to put on makeup and get ready. I was about to be late, so I quickly called the staff.
"I'm nearby. I don't know what happened. There's a traffic jam and I can't get through for a long time. Do you know what's going on?"
"Wait a minute, I'll pick you up. They're here to see your performance!!!"
???
!!!
What did you say? So many people came to see the show?!
As a leading actor, I almost couldn’t catch up with my own performance!
Finally, a staff member came out with a loud speaker and shouted:
"Everyone, everyone, please make way for Teacher Zhao to come in. The leading actors are all stuck here, otherwise we won't be able to watch the show today!"
"Ms. Zhao graduated from the Chinese Opera Academy and excels in the Hua Dan role. Today, she will play..."
"And there are those who are asking about 'Chi Ling'? That's Kunqu Opera, and we're performing Peking Opera. Could you please ask Teacher Zhao to sing 'The New Drunken Concubine' for us..."
"good!"
The crowd began to cheer and applaud.
Listen to the propaganda from the loudspeaker and watch the crowd make way.
There was a great welcome lining the streets.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Just call me Xiao Zhao!"
"Just find someone, why bother introducing actors? It's a public bummer!"
"'The New Drunken Concubine', right? Fine! I'll teach you right now!"
Her face turned red with embarrassment. For the first time, she felt that singing opera could be so popular!
Social death!
