Can Peking Opera still be innovative?

I feel like I can’t

Let me answer this question. Hello everyone, I am a storyteller born in the 1980s.

Let’s first talk about my own views. My family comes from a Peking Opera family. My grandma, my father and my second uncle are quite famous for Peking Opera. It's a pity that when I get here, I can basically just listen to it because I'm not interested. As I grow older, I have listened to several more pleasant pieces of Peking Opera. I also talked about this issue with my father. Finally, we discussed why Peking Opera has become so desolate nowadays, mainly because of the issue of innovation. It is said that the latest change seems to be "Red Lantern". This is also because there are no new plays, and secondly, no one dares to adapt or create new ones. In addition, fewer and fewer people listen to Peking Opera. That's why it resulted.

Can Peking Opera still be innovative?

In fact, being able to innovate requires a lot of experience and there is also a lot of pressure from "public opinion". I don't know if you know that Guo Degang founded a "Kilin Society" and a "White Dragon Horse" was circulated on the Internet. , that is a change and innovation. But there is pressure from public opinion here, and small changes are understandable. Whether it’s a joke or something, everyone can basically understand it and understand what it is about. So if all innovations are truly carried out, it is inevitable that there will be some "public opinion", and at the same time there will definitely be many people who are "watching the joke", "watching the fun", etc. Let me ask you this time. what to do? Whether Guo Degang can withstand this pressure. Will I still be criticized by the Music Association? And what kind of hat will he put on Guo Degang?

Do you remember what cross talk is like? Nowadays, Peking Opera is similar. But as Peking Opera is the quintessence of the Chinese nation, is it allowed to rewrite or adapt it like this?

Therefore, the adaptation and new editing of Peking Opera is more difficult than that of cross talk.

Peking Opera is the quintessence of the Chinese nation! It cannot be said in the same language as film and television sketches, etc. It is difficult to innovate.

Because I am a theater fan, especially fond of Peking Opera, the quintessence of Chinese culture. I want to shout twice when I have nothing to do. When I hear the sound of Jinghu, my throat becomes itchy. Unfortunately, there are very few people singing Jinghu and Peking Opera. , who can create and innovate? In the past, the old Peking opera artists had to endure a lot of hardships to be able to come up with this school or that school. Who of the young people today can endure hardships and innovate? Nowadays, there is no creative work like in the past. Since Jiang Qing created model operas, there has been no Peking opera or drama popular with the audience, not to mention well-written songs. No matter which place or city you go to now, the Peking operas you hear are from the past, and the songs are also from the past. They are all popular songs from the past. I think this problem lies with the central government. If it vigorously promotes and intensifies its efforts and the leaders pay attention to it, as well as holding more youth Peking Opera and Beijing-Hu competitions in the past few years, everyone will like Peking Opera. Our national quintessence Peking Opera can still be If we continue to promote it, otherwise the more than 200 years of Peking Opera culture will disappear.

The running water will never be normal. There is no worst in the world, only worse; on the contrary, there is no best, only better. Peking Opera and other local operas, musicals, ballets, and dramas reached a peak in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, creating wave after wave of climaxes. While trolls ridicule the older generation for having only eight model operas, many opera types are now in the intensive care unit in need of rescue, not to mention the classic arias that the public likes to hum. If today's literary and art workers can uphold the scientific cultural ideas of the nation's masses, deeply explore new people and new things in the new era, and tap into the local atmosphere, they will surely create wave after wave of new climaxes.

At that time, there was a Lao Dan actor Wang Shufang. She innovatively sang Peking Opera in English, and she did sing on stage several times, but she soon disappeared and has not appeared again. In "Teahouse" Eunuch Pang has a saying Lines: Anyone who changes the family law of his ancestors will lose his head. Peking Opera has been around for hundreds of years, and it is an indisputable fact that it is now in decline. It is most important if we can pick up the essence left by our ancestors, pass it on, and show it to the audience. Because this task is quite difficult, it cannot be accomplished by shouting a few slogans, let alone reform and innovation.
