Mr. Li snorted and said, "Well, didn't you see it a long time ago?"

Mr. Qian sighed deeply: "Mr. Zhang, you have a good son. The future of Peking Opera... should change..."

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang raised his lips and said, "This drama has become..."

The three elders are living fossils of their respective factions, and their perspectives on issues are not comparable to those of the younger generations.

They all knew that today's closing ceremony was a success.

It is not only about the singing style or the establishment of the Li School, but also about the audience's acceptance and reaction after the adaptation.

Perhaps you haven't noticed yet, but today's play does not have subtitles like the previous ones.

But almost everyone!

Everyone! Everybody!

Regardless of whether they were drama fans or audience members, everyone was immersed in the story.

A new play, especially one with a changed plot, can actually be understood by everyone and still be so immersive. This speaks volumes.

Drama fans no longer simply focus on the singing style, but are more interested in discussing the characters in the play and the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in the play.

To put it bluntly, the audience's hearts were attracted by the play!

There is a saying in this industry: "fresh books, familiar plays", which means that you should listen to fresh books and familiar plays to get more enjoyment.

Many people have a common confusion when they first listen to Peking Opera: they don’t understand it.

Even some people who love Peking Opera may not be able to distinguish certain words in the lyrics when they first hear a new and unfamiliar singing segment, or may even not understand it.

But the Chinese people have different genes from other people.

It is both cultural heritage and cultural inheritance.

You said that no one likes Peking Opera, which is not true.

Opera songs are as popular as pop songs.

But if you say that everyone loves Peking Opera, that’s not right.

If you randomly interview a young person on the street and ask him if he has ever heard of Peking Opera, the answer he will get will mostly be no.

Not only that, even many so-called drama fans sometimes prefer to listen to a fragment. How many of them have actually listened to an entire play?

The entry threshold of Peking Opera is destined to become an obstacle to development in this era.

But today is different.

They saw new developments.

Since the traditional Peking Opera was restored, some people who do not understand the singing and recitation of Peking Opera often say that the "rhymed dialogue" is not good, which hinders them from enjoying the opera.

But in fact, rhymed Chinese is a very pleasant artistic language created by senior artists based on their daily language and from long-term stage practice, and it has been refined and standardized.

It is both musical and rhythmic, and each word has a certain phonetic basis. People from both the south and the north can understand it, and find it sonorous, pleasant and full of charm.

The advantage of rhymed prose is not only that it is pleasant to listen to and easy to understand, but its greatest function is to highlight the identity and status of the characters and express their personality and emotions.

But no matter how much it is praised, rhymed dialogue has indeed become a difficulty for many people when they first listen to Peking Opera.

But today, they found that the rhymed dialogue of the virtual Peking Opera show has undergone new developments, using more easy-to-understand words and trying to retain its original rhythm and rhyme, making it easier for the audience to understand.

They can say that almost every sentence and even every syllable of every word in this play is worth pondering separately.

Don’t underestimate this work, it is the key to their good singing today and the audience’s understanding!

This is also the first reason why the three old men said that this play was a success!

As for the second reason, it is the rhythm of the script.

In the past, whether they were street vendors, illiterate farmers, or prominent families, high-ranking officials and warlords, they all regarded appreciating Peking Opera as a way to spice up their lives and a leisure activity.

Many amateur troupes travel through the streets and alleys, traveling around the country and performing on tour, attracting many people to stop and watch.

At that time, listening to opera was a well-known entertainment activity that was popular all over the country, and it was truly appreciated by both the elite and the masses.

But nowadays, if you dress up as a Peking Opera character and sing a few words on the street, people will just think you are doing performance art.

In today's era, the pace of life is getting faster and faster.

People's lives are becoming increasingly busy.

Especially with the development of technology, communication tools such as mobile phones and computers have caused the amount of information people receive every day to surge like a tide.

This pace of life makes people more likely to feel tired and makes "fast food culture" more popular.

What's more, in modern times, there are many ways to get instant satisfaction, happiness, and relaxation, not just listening to opera.

Peking Opera has unique singing characteristics and a relatively slow narrative rhythm. These styles require people to spend a lot of time and effort to slowly appreciate and understand the rhythm, so it is naturally difficult to adapt to the pace of life of most people in modern society.

But today, the rhythm of the virtual Peking Opera show has also changed.

It is more suitable for modern people's demand for entertainment culture.

So people naturally like him and immerse themselves in the story.

It’s not that tradition is bad, but doing this can indeed make the audience fall in love with the national quintessence better.

Peking Opera badly needs an opportunity to step out of the small "professional" circle. As the quintessence of China, it should have gone global and been loved by the world like Western ballet and opera.

Instead of being high above, hidden in a building!

To put it more bluntly and in a more modern way—Peking Opera doesn’t need to indulge itself, it needs to develop!

The key to the virtual Peking Opera show is not to replace real people with virtual people.

They are innovating!

The singing style, script and rhythm are all innovative!

Let Peking Opera move towards the modern era and let Peking Opera reach ordinary audiences.

Let Peking Opera become a pop song or TV drama!

This is important!

Very important!

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang sighed again: "Fortunately, I was soft-hearted back then and made the best decision in my life."

Mr. Li and Mr. Qian looked at each other, with determination in their eyes.

They do not regret their original rebelliousness, but instead feel a little scared now.

If I hadn't been soft-hearted and taught Cui Li back then, would there be no Li School today?

Would there be no epoch-making virtual Peking Opera show like today?

The two decided to learn from Mr. Zhang.

What's wrong with being 80? It's the right age to make breakthroughs!

What's more, it seems that they don't even need to rush in. They just need to escort Cui Li's team all the way!

At least when they were still here, no one could move this place! No one dared to move!

The three elders have decided to make their own contributions to the development of Chinese Peking Opera culture!

No fear of risk!

No fear of pressure!

Don't be afraid of public opinion!

Nothing to be ashamed of!

After the three elders made their decision, they immediately took action. The conflict between the various factions was like a pool of boiling water, boiling in an instant.

But this time.

It was obvious that the three old men were overthinking it.

Because... drama fans, or strictly speaking, the audience - the most ordinary and most extraordinary listeners, have turned this spark into a prairie fire!

That night.

The closing ceremony has not yet ended, but Big Eyes has been trending on the search list all the time.
