Why is Chao Opera so famous?

Chaozhou opera is not a famous drama, but a drama with a long history. It has its own unique singing and performance, singing and reciting in dialect, which makes it have very strong local characteristics and is deeply loved by local people. It is different from dance, which is an art of pure body language, song, music and acrobatics, which is a highly comprehensive art, integrating singing, reading, doing and playing. It has very high requirements for actors, and it is not a very simple thing to train opera actors, especially a highly respected opera actor. (u: a6 y% f6 P# Z9 z，I

Many, many white-haired old people, with fans in their hands, listen to their favorite accents. Sometimes their heads will move with the accent of the actors, and sometimes they will shout "Yes". I seem to see that when they were young, the black silk on their heads turned into white hair ... except for the old people, the rest were probably insiders or some children, most of whom were children from drama schools.

In fact, it is not only Beijing Opera that faces the problem of aging audience, but also many local operas, such as Chaozhou Opera, have been in the doldrums for many years. Fortunately, in the face of the recession, there is an amateur Chaozhou opera training group in Chaoshan area, which has cultivated many new dramas. In recent years, it has won the gold medal of "China Children's Drama Little Plum Blossom" 12 in succession, which fills the gap in this aspect of Chaozhou Opera. More importantly, it has trained a large number of small audiences and small ticket friends for Chaozhou opera ... This group is also very famous in Chaoshan area, and because they have produced many karaoke records of Chaozhou opera, children have a convenient platform to learn Chaozhou opera. If so, since then, there has been a wave of children learning to sing Chaozhou opera in Chaoshan area, and many amateur institutions have been established.

E, G0 | j# O3 s Of course, Chaozhou opera has its own limitations. It is sung in a dialect, and outsiders can't understand and speak it, so it can only be sung and performed by locals. So its audience can only be people who understand Chaozhou dialect. Although the technology has developed now, there is a subtitle machine. But if the audience wants to watch the drama while watching the subtitles, it will inevitably distract the audience. Speaking of subtitles, it must be emphasized that there are many proverbs in traditional Chaozhou opera, and only those in Chaoshan dialect are interesting and humorous. For example, in the fifth scene of the Chao Opera "Golden Flower Girl", Cheng Yi said that "my wife fell into the stream-my wife got cold", so that outsiders could understand. For example, in the third scene of Golden Flower Girl, Jin Cai said: If it is a very rustic dialect, the subtitles also use some very uncommon words, how can outsiders understand it? In this way, subtitles become very important. When encountering dialects and uncommon words, the subtitle staff must clearly express what the actors want to say, instead of typing homophonic words that only Chaoshan people can understand. Only by making efforts to change, can our Chaozhou opera push itself to other places and further places! As long as you work hard, you can. Foreign films can also be shown in China in Chinese, and the market is still very large.

Besides subtitles, Chaozhou opera has many aspects that we need to improve, such as our makeup, headdress and costumes, which can learn from foreign operas (such as Yue Opera). To have a good script, the script is also very important, but at present, we are short of not only excellent actors and screenwriters, but also teachers who compose music. If you think about it carefully, the situation faced by Chaozhou Opera is really too severe and dangerous.
