As the saying goes: one minute on stage, ten years off stage. This sentence is exactly the portrayal of the opera industry, yes, "a hundred refining into steel, ten thousand singing into a corner", the wonderful singing voice and action of the actors on the stage, that is after hard training to present.
In ancient times, few families were willing to send their children to sing opera, one was that they felt that singing was to make fun of others, the industry was not in the flow, and the other was that they felt that this industry was really too hard.
I don't know if you have seen the movie "Overlord Farewell", the practice method of the opera described in it is really too bitter, and most people can't bear it.
The times are developing, and forms of entertainment are emerging in an endless stream, so there are fewer and fewer people who like opera. I came across a short video about a group of opera performers braving the cold wind on a rural stage in Dingxi, Gansu Province.
The noise is too big to hear clearly what is being sung, but through the wonderful singing voice of the actors, you can still feel the profound skills of this group of opera actors.
Although the stage conditions are rudimentary, everyone performs very seriously, which is the attitude of opera actors, which is rare in many industries today.
As soon as the camera turned, the video was filmed by the audience under the stage, who thought that such a wonderful performance would definitely attract many people, and the audience would be full. But the truth is that there is no one in the audience.
This scene is very uncomfortable to see, opera is obviously our treasure, why is it so depressed now, is it true that in this era of self-media, the opera industry is really coming to an end?
Later, according to the photographer of the video, there were not many people in this village, and the young and middle-aged people basically went out to work, leaving only some old and young women and children at home.
Children don't like to listen to plays, only old people will listen to them. But on the opening night, the cold air suddenly struck, and the outdoor temperature plummeted, so many elderly people ran home to warm up, so it caused the scene of no one under the stage.
But even if the weather temperature is normal, the number of people listening to the play is still too much, now ah, a mobile phone up and down the screen can watch the world's things, who can still want to listen to boring opera, how many people still have such opera feelings?
Now many opera groups have chosen to set up a stage in the countryside to sing opera, because in the countryside they still have a place, and it may not be long before they can see such a stage in the countryside.
After seeing this video, some netizens said: The weather is so cold, if there is no one below, it is better to disperse the play early, go home early to eat some hot meals, so that there is no audience, is it not a white performance?
Another netizen said: This is the rule, no matter whether there are people or no one on the stage, as long as they are on stage, this play must be sung.
I think that according to the current market conditions, the opera industry may really be about to decline, in the last century, there were many "famous characters", and every time the performance stage was surrounded by water, the 21st century has passed 22 years, how many "famous characters" have appeared?
In the final analysis, people do not attach importance to opera now, and always feel dispensable, but really wait until the day when opera disappears, and then regret it too late.
I remember Grandpa Deng said such a sentence: To learn a computer, you must start from a doll. I think that the revival of opera culture should also start from the dolls, so that children can be interested in opera, so that the industry can have a heritage, and the "treasure" of opera can continue to shine.
Give it a thumbs up and tell me what you think.
