From mutual appreciation to incompatibility.
Li Yugang completely offended the Mei faction with just one sentence.
The "endless death" between the two did not come to an end until Mei Baojiu's death.
However, from the "grassroots top stream" to the "jumping clown".
What "arrogant move" did Li Yugang, who "fell off the altar", do?
01
In 2006, the stage of "Avenue of Stars" made Li Yugang's name resounding all over the country.
The "ingenious" and "unique" style of "male and female reversal" amazed thousands of audiences.
Her bass-soprano and soprano voice is not only appreciated by the Sydney Opera House.
He was also invited to join the China Opera and Dance Theater.
Li Yugang, who became an instant hit, "became more and more courageous the more he fought"!
Four years later, a song "The New Concubine Drunk" was born.
Unique male and female voices and a "fusion" of Peking Opera and modern pop music.
makes this song like a "dark horse" and instantly kills the "encirclement".
And Li Yugang has also won the love and attention of many people with this song.
This includes Mei Baojiu's gaze.
As we all know, Mei Baojiu is the son of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang.
When Li Yugang's song "The New Concubine is Drunk" appeared in the world like an earth-shattering stone.
Mei Baojiu is actually very appreciative and gratified.
In his opinion, Peking Opera finally has a new way of inheritance and blooms with new brilliance.
For the Peking Opera of "Sunset West Mountain", this is tantamount to a new "opportunity".
At that time, Mr. Mei Baojiu praised Li Yugang's "life-saving straw".
Because of his appearance, Peking Opera has come to the public's field of vision.
It also allows more young people to understand and love Peking Opera.
In the face of the high praise of the "master", Li Yugang, a "junior", is "sincerely afraid".
The two who appreciate each other have a tendency to "go hand in hand".
One day, however, that all changed.
02
As Li Yugang's name becomes more and more resounding, there are many fans who follow him.
Slowly, under the praise of fans, Li Yugang, who is becoming more and more famous, is becoming more and more "fluttering".
When he saw the support sign that read, "Anita Mui was in the past, and Li Yugang is now there." ”
Not only did he not feel that there was anything wrong, but he even felt a sense of "self-satisfaction".
But in the face of Li Yugang, who readily accepted, Mei Baojiu "couldn't sit still".
At this time, Master Mei Baojiu was just dissatisfied with the title given to Li Yugang by fans.
The contradiction between the two has not reached the point of "never dying".
If Li Yugang knew how to act low-key at this time, then there was still room for change.
But it's a pity that he has long been touted by fans for "not knowing the east, west, north and south".
In Li Yugang's view, it seems that he has become a "character".
There is no more "appropriate" evaluation than this.
At the same time, his team even set up a character of "Mei Lanfang's successor" for him.
In the face of Master Mei Baojiu's dissatisfaction.
Li Yugang's response was even more "adding fuel to the fire".
In his response, he said that it doesn't matter whether he sings Peking Opera or not.
Because what he sings has long been irreplaceable in pop music.
This remark made the relationship between the two more and more strained.
The former appreciation has long been burned, and the two who are tense have become "incompatible".
And a party completely reduced the relationship between the two to "never die".
03
The director of the party invited Li Yugang and Mei Baojiu to attend at the same time.
Maybe the director did it "unintentionally" or wanted to unravel the contradiction between the two.
However, who admits to it, but "good intentions have done bad things".
I saw that the opening remarks on the stage here are not over yet.
Over there, Mei Baojiu was angry and left the party scene.
What could have happened to make the always mild-mannered old gentleman act in disregard of the occasion?
It turned out that Li Yugang, as the opening guest, claimed to represent the "Mei School of Art" on stage.
This "big talk" remark made Mei Baojiu feel deeply humiliated.
I felt that my father Mei Lanfang was not respected, and the Peking Opera tradition was "trampled".
At this time, where did he still have any thoughts about continuing to perform.
Unable to bear it, he made a move to leave the scene angrily.
After that, the grievances between the two really entered an irreconcilable stage.
These two musicians started "you come and go" in the "big turntable" of the Internet.
They were heated and arguing, and they had their own opinions.
Li Yugang believes that his music represents the "modernization" of Peking Opera.
But Mei Baojiu thinks that Li Yugang is a "jumping clown".
A person who has never studied Peking Opera can call himself a "successor" with just a few imitations.
This is simply a "blasphemy" of the Peking Opera tradition, and it is impossible to represent the "Mei School".
At this point, Mei Baojiu, who has always been gentle and generous, was completely enraged.
Changing his previous image, he and industry insiders jointly proposed that the draft should be at least "standardized".
A person with a white body and a fake bra singing "The Drunken Concubine" is not "a big joke in the world".
Seeing that more and more "authority figures" are standing up to resist themselves.
Li Yugang finally had to bow his head and apologize under the pressure of public opinion.
However, his apology was more like a "provocation".
Not only was it insincere, but he even directly invited a "middleman" to pass the word on his behalf.
Such "insincerity", I wonder who would accept it calmly.
Until Mei Baojiu's death, he still did not forgive Li Yugang for what he did.
This "undying" battle finally ended with the death of Mr. Mei Baojiu.
But it was also this incident that damaged Li Yugang's image.
has become a "stain" on his acting career.
Summary:
It is true that Li Yugang's music has injected a new "soul" into Peking Opera.
More young audiences were attracted to him, giving this art a new form of "inheritance".
But he really doesn't know where to start with the remarks he said about "representing the Mei faction."
If you want to become a successor of the Mei faction, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
If you can't count as a successor, how can you say "representative"?
