In 2006, Li Yugang was born, and the song "Farewell My Concubine" became popular all over the country, who would have thought that a masculine teenager playing a woman could be so ingenious?
Why is Li Yugang, who is praised by the people, criticized by the Mei faction for being vulgar and indecent, what is going on?
Li Yugang
Who would have thought that a boy who was born in the Northeast and grew up in a field of crops would become a national artist with more than 20 billion hits in the future.
In the year of college, due to the financial difficulties of his family, the sensible Li Yugang gave up continuing to go to school, but entered the society alone, working and studying at the same time.
Since he works as a waiter in a music restaurant, Li Yugang can often hear all kinds of music, and what if one day, he can form a band himself?
Just do it, Li Yugang had a dream, found a few partners, and formed a little-known small band.
However, the reality told him that no one wanted to listen to him sing, and he was forced to be a resident singer at a very low price, although the salary was meager but better than nothing.
But I never expected that after the performance, I don't know who reported them, because there was no performance certificate, the boss refused to pay the salary, and the big guys were a little disheartened, and the band that had just been formed was disbanded.
But Li Yugang was unwilling to fail like this, he started as a beggar, sang on the street from the beginning, and gradually became famous with his good voice, and was invited by a bar.
By chance, due to the temporary situation of the female partner, he was unable to act, and seeing that the performance was about to start, Li Yugang was not afraid of danger, saying that he could play two roles, but he didn't expect that the performance effect was unexpectedly good.
Many people were attracted by Li Yugang's two contrasting voices, and they came to see him from far away, however, just when Li Yugang thought that he had come to a good time, fate played a joke on him.
The dispute between the Mei faction and the right path
Because Li Yugang was self-taught by listening to the radio, he prefers to be the Mei School in Peking Opera on the opera road, but it is not an authentic Mei School.
This can also be understood, after all, it is self-taught, and being able to have such achievements and skills has won the applause of many people.
But some people don't want to do it.
For example, Ma Hongcai, the master of the Mei School, said in public that Li Yugang is grandstanding, and if you want to become a real Mei School master, you must have artistic skills.
What is artistic skills?
Could it be that Peking Opera, which is loved by countless netizens, is not a foundation, and must be recognized by the so-called masters?
After being bombarded, Li Yugang continued to accumulate his strength, and finally became popular in France in 2005 with a song "Drunken Concubine", and conquered countless domestic audiences with a song "Farewell My Concubine" the following year.
Which Mei School master can achieve this kind of influence of Li Yugang?
But as long as a person is popular, it will inevitably bring countless controversies, some people scold him for pretending to be a woman, and think that this kind of anti-string is an eye-catching clown, and Li Yugang himself has no strength at all.
As the scolding war between the two parties became more and more intense, soon, the sentence "Mei Lanfang in the front, Li Yugang in the back" instantly annoyed almost all the performers of the traditional Mei School Peking Opera, especially Mei Lanfang's son Mei Baojiu.
As the rightful heir to the Mei faction, he could not tolerate a person who had not systematically studied his own faction at all on a par with his father.
He saw it as an insult to the Mei faction.
The contradiction between the two unfolded completely.
You know, what kind of person is Mei Jiubao, that is the heir of the Mei faction, for the entire Mei faction, Mei Jiubao itself represents orthodoxy, and what about Li Yugang?
So a very strange phenomenon appeared, Li Yugang, who was obviously popular all over the country and became a national idol, was completely demarcated by all the drama circles related to the Mei School.
Even many passers-by who didn't know the reason for the incident also followed the crusade against Li Yugang.
But setbacks did not defeat him, this boy who grew up in the farmland, once again relied on his perseverance to become popular on the Internet again with a song "The New Concubine is Drunk".
However, the more Li Yugang became popular, the more serious the Mei faction's exclusion of him became, because it was also very simple.
All the money was earned by Li Yugang, and there were not many viewers who led them to claim to be decent, if they recognized Li Yugang's position of strength, wouldn't it be a disguised slap in the face.
Even if Li Yugang has become famous, the Mei faction is reluctant to admit that his singing style caters to the public, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall.
Then I would like to ask, if an opera actor, a person who has been awarded a national first-class actor, if he cannot represent decency, does he have to rely on the so-called heirs of you who have never heard of it to promote the Mei School?
How many people knew about this faction through Li Yu just now.
At the beginning, Li Yugang actually wanted to reconcile with the Mei faction, especially when attending a party, Li Yugang said that he expressed his greetings to the whole country on behalf of the Mei faction, but he never expected that it was this sentence that completely annoyed Mei Baojiu.
The angry Mei Baojiu's face turned black on the spot, and she brushed her sleeves away, and Li Yugang wanted to apologize many times afterwards, and wrote a letter, but the relationship between the two was never repaired.
Until Mei Jiubao's death, the relationship between the two was still very stiff.
After completely losing the support of the Mei faction, Li Yugang said that he still would not forget the traditional culture, and he used his strength to win full applause in foreign soul performances.
From Australia to France, every show was packed.
A person from a wild background can do this, even after becoming famous, he still does not forget to promote traditional culture, which has to be said to be impressive.
What do you think about this?
