"Tonight News" reporter Liu Guifang exclusively interviewed Gao Bowen, vice chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Ququ Association and head of the Shanghai Bomb Critics Troupe, at the recording site of the "Fish Dragon Hundred Drama Cup" National Quyi Talents 2021 Autumn and Winter TV Stage Recording Site. Gao Bowen lamented: It is important to adhere to fixed performances, normal columns, and cultivate audience habits.
As the hometown of quyi, Tianjin's quyi activities can be described as continuous in four seasons. In addition to the popular cross-talk performances, in recent years, drum music, book commentary and other music and art activities have become increasingly active. No, the fifth "Peace Cup" Intangible Cultural Heritage Ticket Invitation Tournament, which is known as the annual grand event of quyi tickets, has just come to an end in October 2021, and the "Fish Dragon Hundred Opera Cup" National Quyi Talents 2021 Autumn and Winter TV Tournament is in full swing in studios such as the Meijiang Courtyard of Tianjin Haihe Media Center.
Gao Bowen, who has served as a judge for these two national activities, was interviewed by reporters a few days ago. As the vice chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Ququ Association, the head of the Shanghai Critics Troupe, and the winner of the Peony Award, he talked about the art of music and gave his own suggestions on improving the popularity of Tianjin quyi performances.
The "Fish dragon hundred plays" column builds a platform for music lovers
When he met Gao Bowen, he was recording the scene of the "Fish Dragon Hundred Drama Cup" National Quyi Talent 2021 Autumn and Winter TV Ring Competition. Speaking of the 28-year-old "Fish dragon hundred plays" column, Gao Bowen praised it. He said: "The audience of Quyi is relatively large, but it is also relatively scattered, many of them are entertaining themselves, and there are not many opportunities to show themselves." The "Fish Dragon Hundred Plays" column can build a platform for music lovers to display, which is very good. Although the programs displayed in the column are mainly northern music and art, in recent years, the southern music and art genres have also been involved. And I see a lot of young people involved. These young people who like music art can come to the program and have the guidance of standardized judges and teachers on the standardized stage, which is good for the development and dissemination of music art. ”
Gao Bowen said that in the process of participating in this activity, he felt that the young people's love for quyi was from the heart, "There is a child who sings Allegro is only 17 years old, although he is young but relatively positive. The performance of quyi cannot be greasy, which is not in line with the connotation that quyi wants to express. These young people are pursuing, not forced to come, which is very good. They like, and through their dissemination it is easy to form an atmosphere of music and art in a range. Gao Bowen believes that the standards of music art judgment and the level of performance of music lovers should rely on professional actors and senior artists to influence and guide, so that music art can achieve living inheritance. For example, the TV stage of "Fish Dragon Hundred Plays" can provide the opportunity for the newcomer of the music art to face and guide the famous artists face to face and at zero distance, which is too important for his professional level to improve.
Speaking of the cooperation with the "Fish dragon hundred plays" column, Gao Bowen also said: "Our Shanghai Critics Troupe and "Fish and Dragon Hundred Plays" jointly produced a special program to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the party, "Southern and Northern Songs and Singing Style", which was well received by all walks of life after broadcast and was also very successful. Today I came to Tianjin again, saw that so many new artists have emerged on this stage, and I also plan to cooperate with the column in depth next year to do some practical work for the development of music art.
Use cultural charm to dissolve the differences between the north and the south
The old saying goes, "Crosstalk is not a river", but in recent years, crosstalk has become as popular in the south as in the north. How to make this kind of southern music art popular in the north? Over the years, Gao Bowen and his team have made many attempts and achieved certain results.
Gao Bowen said that compared with the northern music art, there are language problems. Therefore, it is more difficult for Southern Quyi to go to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. But the state has changed considerably in recent years. Because southern quyi is not only based on language, many people like Jiangnan culture and Haipai culture, "We put this culture in the front, and use Jiangnan characteristic music, Wu Nong dialect and way of expressing stories to attract northern audiences." The content is based on well-known stories and characters. As for the language, there are now subtitles. Gao Bowen said that he and his team have performed in northern cities in recent years, and they have felt everyone's love for Jiangnan culture, and some audiences have a special sense of ceremony to wear qipao and Chinese clothes to watch the performance. Although the audience does not understand it, it can fully enter the artistic conception of the performance. How to make quyi conform to the development of the times? Gao Bowen believes that as long as the language does not disappear, quyi will definitely always exist. Therefore, if there are fewer audiences in Quyi, this is not the responsibility of the audience, but the responsibility of the practitioners. In addition to studying the form and content of performances, it is also very important to use new media to promote the art of music.
Fixed performances It is important to cultivate audience habits
The popularity of the performance of the commentary bomb in Shanghai and the Jiangnan region can it bring reference suggestions to the drum music, commentary and other performances in the north? Gao Bowen said: "In the Jiangnan area, there are hundreds of bookstores performing and judging bombs every afternoon, and spending a few dollars to listen to the comments has become a daily habit for many people. There are long books on the bomb, and it can be said for two hours every afternoon, which can be said to be more than half a month. In addition, there are performances of innovative works, famous artists and rookies in the coliseum. This satisfies the needs of audiences at different levels. "And the northern commentaries and drum songs rarely have special venues," so I think we should first fix the performance from the venue and time." The audience of Quyi wants him to 'run smoothly' and form a habit. In this process, the performers must stick to it, and at the same time, they must also do the content, integrate the program, and let the young audience hear the fun and good-looking content. In the form, it is necessary to strengthen the interaction with the audience and let the audience have a sense of participation, such as doing some lectures and displays. I came to Tianjin to experience it several times, and found that the Tianjin audience was very enthusiastic about quyi. I think I can use a place like the cultural center of the town to let people with dedication and responsibility organize and manage. As long as there is a fixed place and time, the performance content can attract people, and it will have a centripetal force on the audience. ”
