"The meal is here!"

At this time, Su Su handed over a lunch box. Then she saw Teacher Yan Fengying and said quickly: "Teacher Yan is here, I will get another lunch box."

"You're welcome." Yan Fengying said with a charitable smile to Su Su. She had been training the cast of the crew for the past two days and she liked Su Su quite a bit.

Especially Su Su, who is so young and beautiful, she doesn't have any bad habits of being pretentious. She sings when she needs to and practices when she needs to.

If it weren't for Su Su's inadvertence in Huangmei Opera, Yan Fengying would have wanted to recruit a disciple. She liked Su Su's quiet and virtuous character so much.

Yang Ming took the lunch box and smiled at Teacher Yan: "It's okay, as long as Teacher Yan doesn't dislike our poor food."

Upon hearing this, teacher Yan Fengying glared at Yang Ming: "You kid is trying to eliminate me again. I don't know about others, but your crew is the best crew I have ever seen for treating its employees."

No matter which crew is filming, the gap in quality is unavoidable.

No matter how bad the conditions are and how tight the funds are, there is still a big difference between the treatment of celebrities and extras.

Yang Ming saw too much in his previous life.

When the crew meets some well-educated actors during filming, they will eat box lunches with most of the crew without being special;

If you meet some squeamish celebrities, not only will there be a special kitchen to cook, but the crew will also be required to equip them with an RV.

In fact, this kind of treatment for celebrities during filming became very popular later on.

However, in this time of 2005, RVs and professional chefs are still very rare phenomena.

In his previous life, Yang Ming had been hanging out at the bottom of the crew and was very aware of the hardships of ordinary staff.

Therefore, since the beginning of filming in this generation, Yang Ming has increased his salary and benefits, regardless of whether he hired temporary personnel or extras.

Just like the box lunches they eat now.

Even the most ordinary lunch box contains at least two meat and two vegetables, one of which is meat, which is beyond the treatment standards of most crew members.

The highest-standard lunch boxes also have two meat and two vegetables, and the vegetables are better at best.

Not much difference.

This made the extras and staff feel very comfortable.

In addition, Yang Ming prepared three RVs for the actors to rest.

As more and more movies are filmed nowadays, Yang Ming has already had a profound understanding of the importance of RVs for actors to rest, recuperate and maintain their condition, which has changed the original impression in his mind that RVs are just for star actors to show off their status.

"Xiao Yang, you haven't answered my question just yet!" Teacher Yan Fengying turned to Yang Ming and said.

She took the lunch box from Su Su's hand and asked with a smile while eating.

Su Su saw that teacher Yan Fengying and Yang Ming had something to say, so she smiled with Yang Ming, and then went to the RV to have dinner with Su Su, Huang Xiaofeng and the others.

Yang Ming frowned slightly when he heard Yan Fengying's questioning. He really didn't know where to start with this question.

I'm afraid that if I say something bad, I'll offend the other person.

After all, deep down in his bones, he can't help but reveal his habits and thoughts from his previous life.

In today's China, China has undergone a sudden change in history from the late Qing Dynasty and developed in another direction. The mainland has not experienced the roar of artillery fire like in the previous life, and various scenic spots and historic sites have not been destroyed, and many Chinese traditions have also been preserved and continued.

If you put it another way.

That is, China in this world is much more conservative than China in previous generations.

Yan Fengying is also a person who insists on tradition. Now that she sees that the opera excerpts sung in Yang Ming's play are actually based on Huangmei Opera and have been extensively modified and adjusted, she naturally can't help herself.

Several thoughts quickly flashed through Yang Ming's mind. After thinking about various things in his past life and this life in detail, he finally came up with an idea and said slowly: "Teacher Yan, do you think the glory of Huangmei Opera thirty or forty years ago?

Can it still be repeated in today’s era?”

No matter how well the government protects local operas like Huangmei Opera in this life, it will gradually decline just like in the previous life.

It's just not as miserable as in the previous life.

It's just that the development of contemporary local opera has gradually become somewhat similar to Western songs, which are regarded as art and culture, tinged with a layer of petty bourgeoisie and coated with an elegant image.

Yan Fengying was startled when she heard Yang Ming's words, and couldn't help but think of the current development status of Huangmei Opera.

Although Huangmei Opera is no longer as glorious as it was decades ago, it has never been worried about survival.

No matter at home or abroad, as long as there is a performance of Huangmei Opera, the tickets are basically sold out. Even compared with the singers and stars in the entertainment industry, the performance is not inferior in the slightest.

But she always felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart, completely lacking the joy she had during the performance decades ago.

Now after hearing Yang Ming's question, Teacher Yan Fengying thought for a moment and said very honestly: "It may not be realistic to restore the grandeur of thirty or forty years ago."

But after she said this, she immediately asked, "I guess this has nothing to do with my problem, right?"

Yang Ming smiled confidently when he heard this: "Teacher Yan, don't worry, let me ask you another question. Today's opera singing environment is completely different from before; open-air stages and luxurious theaters; ordinary people like seven aunts and eight aunts in suits

Business elites in leather shoes; cheers, whistles and uniform applause from the audience. In which environment do you prefer the Huangmei Opera performance?"

Yan Fengying suddenly heard Yang Ming's words and couldn't help but raise her head and look seriously at the young man in front of her who was even about the same age as her grandson.

She really didn't expect that this young man with an unattractive appearance could actually see through the torment and pain in her heart at a glance!

It also explains in one sentence the biggest difference between Huangmei Opera today and the most glorious Huangmei Opera decades ago.

However, she is an old person who has experienced ups and downs. These few words alone cannot make her change her opinion at all: "What do you want to prove by saying this? Or don't you agree with the current development model of local opera?

?”

Yang Ming smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Teacher Yan, your idea is too extreme. It's not that I don't agree with this model, but I think that the development of Huangmei Opera has gradually become separated from the masses and has become a folk art that can only be appreciated by a few people!"

"

If there were no memories of past lives, Yang Ming might be dismissive of the current development model of opera, thinking that this model completely abandons tradition.

But if compared with the previous life.

It has long been reduced to a local opera that must be protected by the government to continue. The development of local opera in this world is simply like being in a happy paradise.

In fact, in his heart, because Chinese opera has gradually transformed into a development model similar to that of Western opera, it is regarded as a representative of elegance and art, and he applauds the development of contemporary opera.

But after careful understanding, he believed that contemporary local opera could be further improved, so he raised this topic.

Yang Ming did not wait for Teacher Yan Fengying to continue speaking, but continued: "Teacher Yan, you should be very clear that Huangmei Opera has almost no sense of existence in the minds of young people nowadays. Once the older generation who likes Huangmei Opera leaves,

Then the soil for Huangmei Opera to survive will become smaller and smaller. Without the support of ordinary people, Huangmei Opera, no matter how elegant and artistic it is in the minds of a few people, has deviated from the original intention of Huangmei Opera's development, right?"

"So, I think it is necessary for Huangmei Opera to try reform to a certain extent. If Huangmei Opera can catch up with the pace of the times through reform and gradually win the favor of young people, it is still very necessary."

When Yan Fengying suddenly heard Yang Ming's words, she was startled, and then she looked thoughtful.

As a member of the Huangmei Opera generation, she is worried about the future of Huangmei Opera.

Sometimes they even perform on stage regardless of their age, just to maintain the influence of Huangmei Opera.

Maybe her appearance on the stage did not have much impact on Huangmei Opera, but she still made such a decision, which is why she loved Huangmei Opera in her heart.

This time, Yan Fengying accidentally heard that Yang Ming's TV series was related to Huangmei Opera. Originally, the old dean hoped that she could send an apprentice. Who would have thought that she would come to join Yang Ming's crew in person? Why?

It is because she hopes that the TV series can play a role in promoting Huangmei Opera.

After all, when Huangmei Opera was at its peak, various Huangmei Opera films and TV shows were emerging one after another. Yan Fengying still remembers this, and Yang Ming is now known as a director genius. The film and television works he directed, whether they are movies or TV series, have never failed.

precedent.

That's why she joined Yang Ming's crew in person regardless of her advanced age.

But after joining the crew, she heard that the so-called Huangmei Opera during the filming process by Yang Ming was not the traditional Huangmei Opera at all, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Then he directly pursued Yang Ming, wanting to know what this talented young man was thinking.

If the other party really insists on filming like this, then she will definitely resign from this position.

But now Yang Ming's words can't help but make Yan Fengying fall into deep thought.

Due to threats to its survival, Huangmei Opera had to gradually change its image and become an elegant opera culture.

It's just that deep down in Yan Fengying's heart, she has a natural resistance to the change of Huangmei Opera, which is like putting on gorgeous clothes and can only please a few people. However, the cruelty of reality forces her to persist in this way.

Otherwise, waiting for Huangmei Opera will only lead to elimination.

Thinking of this, Yan Fengying took a deep look at Yang Ming and suddenly said: "I didn't expect that Xiao Yang, your words are so sharp. No wonder your teacher said that you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and you can talk about life even if you are dead."

When Yang Ming heard this, he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said sincerely: "Teacher Yan, I know that the opera in "The Legend of the White Snake" cannot be regarded as a pure Huangmei opera, but at least it can be regarded as a Huangmei opera? After all,

With the word "Huangmei", once the audience accepts and likes to listen to this Huangmei tune, it will be of great benefit to the development of Huangmei opera!"

"The times are developing, and Huangmei Opera must also develop, otherwise it will be eliminated soon. How to make Huangmei Opera more popular among young people is worthy of your careful study. After all, the future of this world will always belong to young people."

"Isn't it?"

Speaking of this, Yan Fengying was really moved.

It's not that she was moved by Yang Ming's words, but that she was thinking about how to improve the influence of Huangmei Opera all the time.

Yang Ming's words spoke to her heart.

Just like Yang Ming said.

Maybe the opera in "The Legend of the White Snake" is not considered traditional Huangmei opera, but it still belongs to Huangmei opera.

This is enough.
