"Promoting traditional national culture is the bounden duty of every member of our opera association."
"If I can help Teacher Bai promote puppetry, I will do my best."
After learning why the other party had come to see him, Wang Yueheng nodded and said.
Under the impact of fast-paced entertainment platforms like Douyin (TikTok).
The decline of the traditional opera industry is inevitable.
But as an artist, and a singer who needs to gain popularity in all aspects.
Wang Yueheng doesn't mind crossing over to promote some national cultural treasures.
"Comrade Yue Heng, we are relieved to hear you say that."
"No wonder you were able to write a patriotic song like 'Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth' that promotes national history and culture."
Upon hearing this, Quanzhou Vice Mayor Gui Shuyan couldn't help but praise him.
The reason for this trip was to come specifically with Bai Haisheng, an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.
He invited Wang Yueheng for help in his capacity as the local official in charge.
We hope that Wang Yueheng will take this invitation to collaborate on Quanzhou's traditional culture seriously.
I also took the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the legendary genius singer.
In fact.
Among the family and friends of Vice Mayor Gui Shuyan.
Many of them are also fans of Wang Yueheng.
"I have a good relationship with several leaders in Linjiang City."
"The local city leaders have a very high opinion of you, and they welcome you to hold a concert in Quanzhou!"
"We will definitely provide you with the most favorable policies and comprehensive services."
Gui Shuyan then said with a smile.
Linjiang City is the city where Wang Yueheng's hometown county is located.
The deputy mayor's unspoken intention was clearly to further cultivate a closer relationship with Wang Yueheng.
"Thank you, Mayor Gui. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit Quanzhou for tourism and exchange!"
"So, how does Teacher Bai plan to collaborate on the opera gala stage?"
After responding to Vice Mayor Gui's kind offer, Wang Yueheng turned to Bai Haisheng for his opinion.
In addition to performing on stage as usual.
If you can also do someone a favor and spread positive energy along the way.
Wang Yueheng doesn't mind collaborating with intangible cultural heritage inheritors like Bai Haisheng.
Of course, this is on the premise that the other party's request is within one's own capabilities.
If it's too far beyond your capabilities, or if the demands are too harsh.
Wang Yueheng had no choice but to politely decline.
"This is also what we are still worried about."
"Yujia let me hear one of your songs, 'Red-Clad Ladies'."
"I think the song's presentation is quite good, blending modern pop music with traditional opera."
"It not only showcases ethnic culture, but also attracts the attention and spreads among young people."
"If you could sing a similar song for our puppet show, and then we could perform along with it, that would be perfect..."
"However, there are only two days left until the party, and I'm worried..."
As he spoke, Bai Haisheng stopped talking and looked at Wang Yueheng with a helpless, bitter smile.
He knew it too.
It was a bit late for him to approach Wang Yueheng about his creative process only when he was about to go on stage.
He only came to try his luck because he couldn't resist his granddaughter Meng Yujia's insistence.
Even the deputy mayor came along with great enthusiasm.
But Wang Yueheng just can't write a suitable song.
There's nothing anyone can do about that.
"I heard from Director Feng Gong that the song you will be singing on stage is almost ready."
"I wonder if it's possible to combine it with our puppet show?"
"For example, temporarily changing the lyrics..."
Vice Mayor Gui Shuyan then inquired.
If all else fails.
Ask Wang Yueheng to temporarily revise the lyrics.
Then, combined with the puppet show performance, it also served as a form of publicity.
"Teacher Yue Heng, do you think this will work?"
Listening to the words of his master and Vice Mayor Gui Shuyan.
Meng Yujia, who had taken the initiative to propose a collaboration with Wang Yueheng, asked with great anticipation.
