Friend, if you are interested in having a reading, I can teach you a few tricks here. (Whoops, that tone is a bit like a teacher!) ）

For cheerful recitals, I will be inclined to arrange the host, one or two. The role of the host is not simply to announce the curtain, but to become part of the whole recitation. He should grasp the characteristics of the actor to introduce it in order to attract the audience. At the same time, we must make impromptu and heartfelt testimonials around the show, and it is of course better to have some talk shows. It is best to conduct some interviews with the actors on the spot, which is also very interesting for the audience to listen to, and will have more expectations for the next show. Relax a little, live a little, and completely blend in with the audience. I have seen the CD of the singer Teresa Teng's tour, the "old Keler" host, not in a hurry, funny and humorous talk or self-deprecation, what a great role in regulating the atmosphere of the concert. We don't have to copy it, it's beneficial to take its essence.

Generally speaking, the content of the recitation is relatively concentrated, and there is an internal connection. There are not many poems that are easy to read now, and I prefer prose, of course, it is appropriate to condense them due to the length of the article. Disapproval of the supremacy of entertainment, making a mess of boredom and filth, and the parties concerned still think that they are proud. Let the audience be either moved, or inspired, or spiritually uplifted. This also involves the reciter on the stage, I am afraid to grasp two essentials: 1. State relaxation and relaxation. 2. Deep in love, there will be tears, first move yourself (not squeeze feelings), and then let the audience follow suit. These seem to be simple, but it is really easy to talk about.

Regarding the use of high technology, what I care about most is the sound, which can make people listen with their eyes closed. You don't have to spend too much effort on the lighting, props, and stage background. The music should be beautiful, but it should not be overwhelming, and it is appropriate to set off properly. As for the venue, it is best to have a big salon, and the number of spectators is controlled at 600-800, so it is like being around the audience, warmly telling the story.

Speaking of which, I could have stopped here, but I still feel that I am still not finished, so please allow me to elaborate some thoughts and suggestions around this topic.

In recent years, Shanghai has set up a recitation association, so that Shanghai language art lovers have a home, a warm and clean home, which is really gratifying. Yes, this is a non-governmental organization, but I think we should all be soberly aware that in our small field, we must also emphasize the leadership of the Communist Party of China.

I thought that the purpose of establishing the Lang Association was very simple and clear, that is, to do something for the people and make some contributions to the language arts for society. To put the operation of the recitation association into a normal and healthy track, the manager should be bright and upright, so that all opaque, unseen, or unruly words and deeds have no place. I don't know if anyone wants to make money through associations, or to use the process of running a recitation to make money, that is absolutely unpopular. As President Xi Jinping said at the National Federation of Literary and Art Circles: "Literature and art must be effective, but we must not be contaminated with copper odor and become slaves to the market." "The recitation association operates correctly and healthily, and I sincerely hope that everyone (whether members or not) will care, contribute wisdom and strength."

One more thought. We professional literary and art workers should not be condescending and pretending to be artists at every turn. Professional and amateur recitation enthusiasts, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, advantages and shortcomings, should respect each other, cherish each other, learn from each other, support each other, in order to seek common progress. At present, I agree not to be busy with improvement, but the most important task is popularization, especially among teenagers. I once suggested: Write an actionable and popular pamphlet about good recitation, which will be given free of charge to the city's junior high schools and primary schools. I'm willing to do my part for that.

May the lovers of language art unite, be active in the position of recitation art, and strive for the early realization of the Yangtze River Delta Langyi Grand Alliance under the guidance and guidance of the party's correct ideology. (Tong Zirong)
