Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 260 Opera Propaganda
"The propaganda department is not only a project of publishing newspapers, but also cooperates with other projects."

For such a large propaganda department, it would be too shabby if it was only promoted by one media.

"other projects?"

Yinyin asked suspiciously.

In her opinion, just publishing newspapers is a huge workload.

Chen Fan nodded lightly.

"That's right, I also plan to recruit all opera practitioners from all over the country, such as opera gardens, those who sing big operas, those who beat flower drums, those who sing Beijing opera, those who sing Yue opera, those who sing Huangmei opera, those who sing Henan opera, those who sing Kunqu opera, those who sing Those who criticize dramas are all recruited to the propaganda department, and they are given a salary and a solid job. Also, those who play and sing in your brothel can be recruited into the propaganda department.”

"All included?"

Yinyin was shocked.

How many opera practitioners should there be all over the country in Ming Dynasty? All of them must be included, probably at least tens of thousands!

At least as far as Yinyin knows, each county has at least one troupe.

A troupe may range from a few people to hundreds.

Opera is also a relatively important part of the propaganda department, it can be said that it is second only to newspapers.

The only entertainment available to ordinary people in Ming Dynasty is probably going to the temple fair in the town every year and listening to big plays!

Now, Chen Fan has recruited all these idle theater troupes.

Give them better training venues, better equipment, generous treatment, and a bigger stage.

Presumably no one is unwilling!
And what Chen Fan wants them to do is to rehearse more popular songs, perform them for the masses to watch, and bring joy to the common people.

When I have nothing to do, I go to the countryside to tour the country.

At least one performance per month must be guaranteed in every ten miles and eight villages.

In this day and age, listening to opera is a rare thing.

If there is a troupe performing in any town, people from all over the world will flock here with small stools to ensure that the stage is tightly surrounded, with three floors inside and three floors outside.

It is conceivable how popular the common people are for opera.

It's no wonder that the common people are like this. It is very satisfying for them to be able to listen to an opera once a year.

Generally, only rich families can afford to hire a troupe, but it is only sung to rich families alone in the deep house compound, and ordinary people can't enjoy it.

Being able to listen to operas for free is as festive as Chinese New Year for these ordinary people who have no entertainment activities.

Bringing some classic repertoires to the common people can not only bring them joy, but also improve their cultural literacy.

Let them know the deeds that have been widely circulated.

Of course, Chen Fan tried his best to do this, not just for the common people to listen to a show and have a good time.

What Chen Fan values ​​most is that opera can convey information to the common people more vividly than newspapers.

What the common people prefer is also the way of opera.

When necessary, Chen Fan can convey to the common people what he wants them to know through opera.

Among other things, it is the modernization construction plan of the capital.

It is absolutely possible to make good use of the form of opera, by arranging some repertoires on the theme of capital construction, and then perform them in loops across the country, so that every commoner knows that going to the capital can lead a good life.

Through opera, exert influence on the common people.

In Chen Fan's view, it is more influential than newspapers.

This is what Chen Fan values ​​most.

This is a bit like the sending movies to the countryside policy in the modern world.

Thinking of going to the countryside for movies, this gave Chen Fan inspiration.

It can let all the common people of Ming Dynasty feel the charm of the movie in advance.

Promote it together with the opera.

Moreover, the form of film is definitely more popular than drama.

There is no doubt about this.

The impact that the art form of film had on the people of Ming Dynasty was absolutely unprecedented.

Well, let every village have the opportunity to watch movies as much as possible.

"In this way, your propaganda department has two main agencies in charge, the media department and the opera department. This task is a bit heavy. You will be busy in the future, so it will probably be very hard."

Chen Fan smiled at Yinyin, telling her not to be burdened.

"Yin Yin is not afraid of hard work. For the sake of Ming Dynasty's propaganda career, Yin Yin can bear the hard work."

Hearing what Yin Yin said, the smile on Chen Fan's face became a bit thicker.

"By the way, there is one more thing that I just thought of. I said it together. I plan to select some local hooligans from all over the country and incorporate them into the Propaganda Department. Let them belong to the Navy Department!"

"Ah, the local hooligans are also included?"

Yinyin couldn't help opening her mouth, and exclaimed.

When it comes to recruiting those opera singers, Yin Yin can understand it.

Yinyin couldn't understand how to recruit local ruffians from all over the place.

Even if her publicity department is short of people, she can still recruit some good people from society. I believe there will definitely be a long queue of good people who are willing to join the publicity department.

Yinyin couldn't figure out how to recruit local ruffians.

Seeing Yinyin's disapproval, Chen Fan smiled and explained:
"There is a reason for recruiting local hooligans. The main reason is that they can be organized and supported by the propaganda department so that they will not harm the common people."

"In addition to reducing social harm, their role can also be used to raise the flag for the propaganda department and create momentum. These hooligans are best at it. For example, which news in the Ming Times, the imperial court hopes to attract the attention of the people, can let these The hooligans have aroused public opinion in various places, leading the common people to discuss and pay attention."

To put it bluntly, the function of these recruited local hooligans is to promote and create momentum.

It's like a navy, guiding everyone's public opinion.

Since Chen Fan wanted to do publicity, he couldn't do without the navy.

From then on, they are no longer hooligans who destroy social stability, but a glorious propaganda department troop.

The media, opera, and naval forces cooperate with each other, which is enough for the propaganda department to form credibility in the hearts of ordinary people.

After a long time, the people of Ming Dynasty will believe what the propaganda department says.

And this is the ultimate goal of Chen Fan's establishment of the propaganda department.

"So, you are currently responsible for three pieces of content, the media department, the drama department, and the navy department. I hope you don't be afraid of hard work and persevere. It may be a bit hard in the early stage, but when the shelf of the propaganda department is set up, It will be easier from now on."

Of course, Chen Fan doesn't know if it will be easy in the future.

Chen Fan predicted that it would be impossible to manage such a large department easily.

Every day there are countless big and small things waiting for Yinyin to solve them.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan felt a little guilty inside.

Would it be too cruel to entrust such a burden to a weak woman!
