Three hundred and fifty-five chapters compete to debut

After Bo Qian, Lu Yao was the one who performed on stage.

He went on stage, forced a smile, greeted the audience and started his own performance.

When I drew the lottery last time, Lu Yao won the Pingju.

Pingju has a relatively short history of development and has only developed since the late Qing Dynasty. It was only popular in the Northeast in the 1920s.

More famous dramas include "Yang Sanjie Complaint", "Qin Xianglian" and "Xianglin Sao".

Compared with Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, and Huangmei Opera, Ping Opera has a relatively long history, which is indeed insufficient.

However, because Pingju is more popular than these operas, if you use music as an example, traditional operas such as Peking Opera and Kun Opera are like classical music, while Pingju is very popular.

As we all know, popular ones are definitely more likely to be popular among the public than classic ones, so Pingju is hailed as one of the popular dramas by the general public.

But how to blend opera and pop music.

This is not an easy thing.

Lu Yao had many discussions with the famous Pingju performing artist Chang Yahan, and also personally experienced several initial Pingju performances, but he had no clue.

Pingju’s playbooks mainly adapt some unfair things that can make the people angry into dramas, most of which are critical.

This actually conflicts with the form of music, and music rarely has a deep critical color.

After thinking about it, Lu Yao decided to change the script of Pingju "Qin Xianglian" into a song.

Qin Xianglian’s story is actually very famous.

When it comes to Qin Xianglian, many people may be a little confused, but when it comes to Chen Shimei, they should be considered a model of a scumbag that everyone in China knows, right?

"Qin Xianglian" tells the story of the talented woman Qin Xianglian and scholar Chen Shimei who fell in love and united. By chance, Chen Shimei, who went to Beijing to take the exam, mistakenly thought that her wife and children died in a flood and married a princess. Later, Qin Xianglian found her husband thousands of miles away, which triggered a series of tragic stories.

The legend that Chen Shimei was finally killed by Bao Zheng’s dragon head guillotine has been passed down for thousands of years.

It was based on this story that Lu Yao adapted a Chinese-style song, but the content of the song focused more on Qin Xianglian's love and hatred for Chen Shimei. This song is mainly about love.

Pingju was integrated into the interlude part by him, allowing Teacher Chang Yahan to sing several sections of "Qin Xianglian" between the two main songs and the chorus.

To be honest, if Lu Yao had made such a move before Boqian's performance, everyone might find it a bit innovative and interesting.

But after Bo Qian's "Farewell My Concubine" was impressive and the song was still fresh in memory, watching Lu Yao's part again, I became a little petty.

Compared to the stunning feeling brought by saying goodbye to cry for love in "Farewell My Concubine", and the excellent combination of pop music and Peking Opera.

Lu Yao's works are really too rough, and the Pingju songs are very rigid, and there is no good connection with the lyrics of the song itself, which seems very abrupt.

I'm afraid of comparison in everything.

When Lu Yao's performance ended, the audience's response was obviously not as good as Bo Qian's. Many of the audience's expressions were very plain, and they were too lazy to even do the superficial skill of reaching out and bulging and applauding.

This made Lu Yao look a little bad, and his face even more ugly.

Seeing that the reaction on the spot was very dull, Zhou Ting had to quickly turn on the microphone to smooth things over: "Uh... the performance is pretty good, but the effect shown may not meet everyone's expectations."

But not every judge is so easy to talk about.

Ke Changqiu, director of Penguin Music Group, had a dark face and criticized without mercy: "Simply inserting opera elements into the song may not necessarily produce good chemical reactions. The most important thing about a song is the sense of wholeness. Once this sense of wholeness is destroyed, the beauty of the music will be gone."

Meilan nodded in agreement.

As a well-known producer in the industry, she has seen too many songs that blindly add opera elements to the music in order to make the song more Chinese.

Although Lu Yao did not add opera this time, he directly inserted the singing segment of "Qin Xianglian" into the interlude so roughly, which had nothing to do with the lyrics of the upper and lower parts, and it seemed that he was just to have the effect of copying the elements of Pingju.

On the contrary, if this song did not have this Ping Opera, the performance effect would be better, because the song "Qin Xianglian" written by Lu Yao is quite nice and the lyrics are well written, showing the tragedy of a miserable woman who was abandoned by her husband and was kicked out after traveling thousands of miles to find her husband.

On the contrary, this Ping Opera is a bit extravagant.

Several reviewers shook their heads.

Sure enough, it is very difficult to let a modern pop singer combine classical opera with pop music in two weeks, and still show the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

If Bo Qian does a good job, it does not mean that others can do it too.

In their hearts, they all secretly lowered the judgment standard that Bo Qian raised again.

Teacher Sa immediately came on stage and said, "Thank you for the wonderful performances brought by Lu Yao and Teacher Chang Yahan."

"Let us applaud and welcome the next Chinese style singer to the stage!"

Wearing a new Hanfu dotted with peach blossoms, Yan Fangxiu walked onto the stage calmly.

"Good evening for everyone, everyone. I am a Chinese style singer, Yan Fangxiu."

"A song "Bao Liang" is for everyone!"

"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is another famous love story that is familiar to all Chinese people, and can be called the Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet.

The crisp and nice sound of the guzheng sounded, and the tender and sweet melody was filled with a hint of beauty.

Yan Fangxiu held up the microphone, stood in the center of the stage, and sang quietly.

This is a very tender Chinese-style song. Yan Fangxiu is like an outsider who is telling the moving love story between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in a musical situation.

As the song was halfway through, the accompaniment melody changed, and the famous "Book of Liang" violin solo played.

The well-known Yue Opera performing artist Jiang Shuhua walked onto the stage with a microphone.

She was not wearing the costume of Yue Opera, nor did she sing any Yue Opera songs. She just raised one hand and half-covered her face, and sang the chorus of this song in the opera style of Yue Opera.

Yue Opera is good at lyricism, mainly singing, with beautiful voices, real and moving performances, beautiful and elegant, and extremely beautiful in Jiangnan.

The Yue Opera singing style, coupled with very lyrical Chinese-style music with Liang Zhu's story as the main body, immediately allowed the audience to be immersed in the beautiful but somewhat tragic love story in the music.

There are many different versions of Liang Zhu’s story, and dozens of operas of all sizes have been compiled into Liang Zhu’s songs.

However, in all versions, Liang Zhu eventually turned into a butterfly and flew together.

The core of this story is a tragedy.

And tragedy is always the most touching thing.

Ninety-one love stories that can be passed down through the ages are sad.

After the song of "Brother Zhu", many girls who were more emotional at the scene had a little rosy eyes and bit their mouths and clapped their hands hard.

For this touching love that has been passed down for thousands of years, the applause at the scene has lasted for a long time.

Ye Weiyang stood in the background in the background and looked at Huang Duo at once. Both of them had a bit of solemnity in their eyes.

There are really many great enemies in today's performance!

Next, it's their turn to go on stage to compete.

Can their performances be loved and voted by the audience?

A little nervous!
Chapter completed!
