After "Riding a White Horse" ended, Yan Ping and Fang Tai were completely stunned, and they had goosebumps all over.
They came here today to see Mr. Mask's new song, but what is this?!
Hokkien language + opera singing!
That's incredibly bold!
Neither of them expected that Mr. Mask's talent for composing music was so high.
Suddenly, Yan Ping realized that there was a reason why his novel "Ivory Mountain" failed to win the top spot on the charts.
While everyone else is stuck in their own ways, Mr. Mask has already connected traditional culture with modern pop music.
This is not something that can be easily defeated by a single song.
Zhao Kuang sat at the same table with Lao Mao. His purpose today was to see if Mr. Mask had any significant achievements in the field of ancient style.
But at this moment, he realized he was wrong.
And it's ridiculously wrong!
Mr. Mask's ancient-style creations not only demonstrate high skill, but also reflect a deep understanding of traditional culture.
What would be the result if this expertise and research were used to compose music for the game "King of Glory"?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuang felt a surge of alertness...
Just as everyone was still marveling, Fengyueke spoke up first: "I would like to ask, the chorus is indeed in Peking Opera style, but it is sung in Hokkien."
I think this must be related to some of the traditional culture of the Minnan region.
Based on the theme of traditional Chinese culture and ancient style in this issue, Fengyueke guessed something.
Following Fengyueke's words, Beichen answered frankly, "That's right, it is indeed a specialty of the Minnan region, Gezai Opera!"
The lyrics are a condensation of the famous Taiwanese opera "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan".
【It's actually Gezai Opera! I've heard of it. It's also called Xiangju Opera. It originated from Jin Ge in Zhangzhou and gradually evolved into the Gezai Opera we know today.】
It was also among the first batch of traditional cultures to be included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
It is worth mentioning that Gezai Opera is the only one of the more than 360 local operas in China that spans the Taiwan Strait, serving as a link for cultural exchanges between the mainland and the Greater Bay Area, and possessing high historical and cultural value...
Wow, thanks for the explanation! So Mr. Mask really did incorporate traditional culture into his songs. That's amazing!
I'm not exaggerating, I really think this song is going to be a huge hit!
[Tch, I already know that without you saying it...]
"Riding a White Horse" was indeed a huge hit on Earth and became one of Lala Hsu's representative works.
According to the system's assessment, this piece is very close to being a masterpiece, which is truly remarkable.
Now that we've brought it to the world, give it time, and it will bring even more surprises.
Phantom Bar!
After listening to "Riding a White Horse," Tang Li sat quietly in the corner of the bar, took a few sips of wine by himself, and rarely had he been so quiet.
It turns out that he is actually a native of southern Fujian.
To earn money and support their families, they left their remote hometown.
But he never forgot his hometown, never forgot the Hokkien language, and never forgot how his grandmother used to hold his hand and carry a chair for several kilometers just to watch a Taiwanese opera performance.
For Tang Li, who doesn't have many entertainment options, the most lively time is during Taiwanese opera performances.
There will be lots of children, and lots of snack stalls...
Those scenes kept replaying in Tang Li's mind along with the song.
Perhaps it was because I was in a foreign land that I felt such a sense of familiarity when I heard the Minnan dialect again.
It was at this moment that Tang Li became a fan of Mr. Mask.
Putting aside his identity, Tang Li admires him immensely for his ability to promote and carry forward the traditional Minnan culture!
As his emotions subsided, Tang Li realized his glass was empty. When he went to refill it, he was surprised to find that the number of customers in the bar had miraculously increased.
It wasn't just one or two people, but dozens more, and they were still pouring in.
Is this for real?! Could that customer really have invited so many people?
Tang Li fell into deep doubt.
He quickly realized something was wrong.
A small group of people were indeed called by the same customer, but most of them came for the live broadcast on the big screen.
In other words, even watching Mr. Mask's live stream can attract a large number of customers.
Is it really that amazing?
This made Tang Li question his life choices, and he decided to observe further.
If it works, should I also project their live stream onto the big screen when Beehive Bar goes live in the future?
Tang Li's ideas and actions were something that Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning, far away in Mingjing City, could never have imagined.
yes!
Who would have thought that hosting someone else's bar's live stream in your own bar would actually bring in customers? It's just too outrageous...
"Thank you, Miss Rabbit, for 'Riding a White Horse.' Next up, Xiao Jiu and I will perform our new song, 'Wujiapo'!"
Singer: Mr. Mask, Lu Jiuyuan
Performed by: Masked Band, Wind Whisper Band, Mingjing City Local Opera Band
Lyrics and music by: Mr. Mask
(This song is based on the version of "Wujiapo 2021" that Jam Hsiao and Zhang Qi collaborated on on a TV show.)
As soon as the song title was revealed, the enthusiast exclaimed, "Another opera-style song!"
[How did Teacher Feng know? The song hasn't even started yet!]
Fengyueke opened his fan again and explained: "Wujiapo is actually a traditional Peking Opera repertoire, a scene from the Peking Opera play 'Red Mane Steed'."
Actually, it's still telling the story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan.
