"Who is the guest?"

The song "Chiling Ling" came to an end in Liao Jie's heartbreaking opera.

When the lights on the stage were all on again, the audience at the scene were staring blankly at Ye Weiyang and Liao Jie who were leaving the curtain call on the stage, and none of them applauded.

Until Zhou Ting, whose eyes were slightly red, opened the microphone and praised: "Perfect performance!"

The audience members woke up and clapped hard, and the words of tsk and sigh came one after another.

"What a Chi Ling!"

"What a humble position and dare not forget to worry about the country!"

"What a guest who is inside and outside the play!"

Hua Qing, the chief producer of CCTV Opera Channel, was full of excitement and patted his thigh hard, praising him three times in a row.

For professionals in the opera industry, who have worked in CCTV Opera Channel for twenty years and have come into contact with thousands of domestic professional opera performing artists, the significance of this song is not only the patriotism in the song, but also a clear name for the "Actor" industry!

Who says actors are ruthless?

Who says actors are humble?

Who says actors are all corrupt and can perform as long as you give money?

Even actors have great love for their family and country, and they are also worried about their country and people. They will also be executed bravely when their family and country collapse!

Most righteous people are dog-slaughtering people, but most unfaithful people are scholars. Reading thousands of books is not as good as virtue.

A person's virtue has nothing fundamentally to do with the profession he is engaged in.

And everyone can pay differently for the country.

It is understandable that there are more people and fewer people. As long as you give your original intention, there is no distinction between high and low!

After Huaqing was excited and cheered, he felt a little unsatisfied and immediately asked:

"Teacher Ye, I'll ask, is the background story of the song "Chiling" just now a real allusion? What is the name of the heroic artist? Is it easy to inform me?"

He was eager to find this story from the old paper pile. If it was true, it would definitely be sung as an excellent patriotism story forever.

Huaqing had already thought about it and found several well-known opera creators in the industry and asked them to adapt scripts of Peking Opera, Kun Opera, Yue Opera and Ping Opera based on this story. In the future, as long as they perform abroad, they will definitely perform this drama!

After thinking about the title of the play, it is called "Cheng Ling"!

But unfortunately, Ye Weiyang shook his head and said, "This is a fictional story, created for music, but I believe that in that chaotic era, there were definitely many artists who were brave enough to fight and died generously under the invasion of foreign enemies."

"regardless of whether the story behind "Chiling" exists, the purpose of my writing this song is to pay tribute to the artists who fought against the invaders."

When he was a child, he heard his grandmother say that there was a theater in their hometown. After the invaders occupied the county town of their hometown, they used force to force the opera troupes in the theater to sing opera for them.

The head of the opera troupe agreed.

However, when he was on stage to perform, every actor had a knife and scissors on his body. After the invaders' commanders arrived, he took the opportunity to perform and wanted to get close to them and assassinate them.

Unfortunately, the Japanese were still vigilant. The assassination did not succeed. Before they got closer to five steps, the actors in the opera troupe were captured. Later, they were directly pulled to the gate of the county government and were all shot in front of people.

Isn’t this also one of the deeds of artists who fought against the invaders?

Ye Weiyang believed that not only in his hometown, there must have been many such heroic artists across the country at that time. But their deeds were little known and few recorded.

After all, at that time, there were too many martyrs who died in the Great China to fight against the invasion, so many of them could not be recorded at all.

When Huaqing heard that the story of "Chi Ling" was not true, he sighed a little regretfully.

But then I thought about it, just like what Ye Weiyang said, no matter whether this story is true or not, something similar must have happened back then, but it is just not well known.

Chinese opera has always been a master-apprentice inheritance system, but in the 1920s and 1940s, many inheritances were stagnated.

Why does this happen?

If you think about the situation inside, you will understand it. It is nothing more than a group of opera artists who once died heroically, which has led to the termination of many excellent opera culture.

Even if the story is fictional, the tribute to the artists who fought against the invaders is true!

It is still very necessary to make the operatic version of "Chi Ling"!

Art itself is a fictional product derived from reality, based on reality, but higher than reality!

"Okay, a very good performance!" Mei Lan smiled and clapped, and said in the jam: "Teacher Ye's performance this time was carefully designed."

“The arrangement of the two songs is very clever.”

"As we all know, the story of "Peach Blossom Fan" tells both the feelings and hatred of the country, as well as love and hate."

"Teacher Ye used two songs to tell the love in the story of "Peach Blossom Fan" and the feelings of family and country that the story of "Peach Blossom Fan" itself is entrusted."

"This method of handling is really amazing. It can be said that it uses modern pop music to use a classical script."

The creation background of "Peach Blossom Fan" itself is the love tragedy caused by the struggle between the powerful and the powerful in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the Jurchens crossed Shanhaiguan to invade the Ming Dynasty, and the mountains and rivers were broken.

This drama can be said to be about love and family and country feelings.

Just so happens that the two songs created by Ye Weiyang talk about both love and family and country feelings. It can be said that the core is the same as "Peach Blossom Fan".

The song "Peach Blossom Fan" borrows Hou Fangyu to tell the sadness in his heart about losing his beloved.

"Cheng Ling" borrows Li Xiangjun and tells the story of a modern actor who plays Li Xiangjun, who splatters blood for five steps to fight against the invaders.

It can be said that both protagonists of this script were used in the song and became the core soul.

This creative method is indeed amazing.

Listening to "Peach Blossom Fan", you can feel Hou Fangyu's love for Li Xiangjun and the powerlessness of an unarmed scholar when the country is destroyed.

Listening to "Cheng Ling", you can feel the chastity of a lowly famous prostitute, and even an actor or a famous prostitute, who is also a patriotic person who is humble and dare not forget his worries about the country.

This is the real way to integrate the charm and essence of Chinese classical opera into modern pop music, and perform second interpretation and adaptation.

Zhou Ting had a smile on the corner of his mouth and sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, this is Ye Weiyang’s real strength.
