"Teacher Yu, what are you busy with at home during this time?" Have you created a lot of story works? ”
Recently, when Yu Linxing, a well-known story writer in Jinshan, was doing nucleic acid screening in the community, there were always many familiar people greeting him and asking about the latest situation.
Under the epidemic situation, although all kinds of literary and artistic activities have pressed the pause button, Yu Linxing, who is "obsessed" with story creation, has not been idle. Working from home, in addition to creating many story works, he also cooperated with the famous Shanghai opera performance artist Xu Botao to jointly launch the anti-epidemic Shanghai opera MV "China Has Great Love". This cultural veteran who was associated with Shanghai opera at a young age is drumming and shouting in his own way during the epidemic to defeat the epidemic.

"The virus is reversed, the waves are turbulent, Shencheng is in difficulty, disaster. The citizens were panicked, and the party sent warmth. This Shanghai opera, which is more than six minutes long, has received praise from many fans as soon as it was released. Talking about the reason for the creation, Yu Linxing was quite implicit, "A week ago, I received an invitation from The famous Shanghai opera artist Xu Botao on WeChat, hoping that I could write a paragraph and let him sing to cheer for Shanghai's fight against the epidemic. ”

From the time he received the invitation to the time it was finally broadcast, the story writer spent an entire week. "The main thing is to find a good entry point, and after repeated thinking, I finally decided to fully support Shanghai as the theme of all over the world." In the evening, he completed the first draft of "China Has Great Love"; after repeated discussions with Teacher Xu, he revised the second draft successively; in the process of Teacher Xu's singing, he made the final revision according to the characteristics of his singing voice. "No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we unite and work together, we will certainly be able to overcome the difficulties and win the final victory in the fight against the epidemic." This is a common wish of Teacher Xu and I when we were creating. Yu Linxing admitted that in addition to determining the theme, while the two sides repeatedly considered the words and sentences in the creative process, they also tried to integrate the "storytelling" into it to arouse the resonance of the audience, and could not be bored because of the empty slogan.
The "storytelling" that Yu Linxing talks about is also what Xu Botao, a famous Shanghai opera artist, values most. As a famous Shanghai opera performance artist, a national first-class actor, and the inheritor of Wang Pai (Wang Pansheng), as early as two years ago, when the epidemic broke out in Wuhan, he joined hands with Yu Linxing, written by Yu Linxing and sung by him, and jointly completed the anti-epidemic Shanghai opera singing section "Write a WeChat Message to Express Heartfelt Feelings". The singing section praises the great anti-epidemic spirit from the perspective of the husband who stayed at home and missed his wife who went to Wuhan to fight the epidemic. Once launched, it was widely praised, and famous websites such as People's Daily, Tencent, Baidu, and Phoenix have successively conducted interviews and pushed this Shanghai opera MV.
"At the most difficult time in Shanghai's fight against the epidemic, I was particularly excited to see medical teams from all over the country come to the rescue and guard 'Shanghai' together. As a veteran of literature and art, although he has retired, he feels that he should still support this people's war with his literary and artistic expertise, use excellent opera works to inspire, infect, inspire people, and transmit positive energy to society. In the face of the reporter's interview, Xu Botao, who is 78 years old this year, said his truest thoughts, and his idea coincided with Yu Linxing in Fengjing.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to creating this Shanghai opera "China Has Great Love", Yu Linxing also created the anti-epidemic Shanghai opera "There is a Little Friend Living in Shanghai" that reflects the selfless dedication of volunteers for Gu Yiping, a fengjing Shanghai opera lover, and co-created and recorded the anti-epidemic story "Mom, I Grew Up" and other literary and artistic programs with Zhejiang literature lovers.
