If someone asks who is the most popular Yue Opera star or even drama star at this stage? I believe that many people will blurt out Chen Lijun's name.
Chen Lijun is the most popular Yue Opera star with the largest traffic at this stage.
Chen Lijun is also good and evil in the Yue Opera "New Dragon Gate Inn" last year, rich and handsome, and the image of Jia Ting, the "jade-faced Shura" in the wind of Yushu. was swiped by many people on Douyin to her short video, and quickly became out of the circle and became the drama star with the largest traffic at this stage.
With the help of the communication medium of new media short videos, the actors' personal charm was quickly and effectively released, attracting a large wave of new traffic and new audiences who originally did not understand Yue Opera. This not only brought a wave of wealth and traffic to Zhejiang Xiaobaihua and even the entire Yue Opera industry.
The most direct effect of this wave of traffic is that now as long as there are plays in which she participates, tickets will be sold out quickly. And she can often see it everywhere she performs, and only the fan support actions that can be seen in the fandom of the entertainment industry.
Everywhere Chen Lijun performs, you can often see fan support actions that are common in the entertainment industry.
Chen Lijun has attracted a large number of new audiences who are not traditional theater audiences, and most of them may not have watched Yue Opera at all before.
After Chen Lijun became popular, her value increased in all aspects. In addition to the repertoire in which she participated, tickets sold out quickly, and she was also invited to participate in various large-scale galas, including the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and local satellite TV Spring Festival Gala and so on.
Chen Lijun and her partner Li Yunxiao appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala to perform "Liang Zhu"
Chen Lijun and the famous artist Ju Jingyi performed "Love in the Mountains" at Dragon TV's Spring Festival Gala, the combination of drama and pop music complements each other
Mango also fell in love with Chen Lijun's popularity and invited her to participate in the popular variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", and she is currently the only drama actor invited to the show.
And Chen Lijun has also received endorsement advertisements from some brands, and it is indeed rare to see drama actors have business endorsements in the past. It seems that this only belongs to the stars of the entertainment industry.
This seems to be the behavior of traffic monetization. will make people feel that as a popular traffic deity, she must also make a lot of money. But Chen Lijun's words on the mango variety show made people suspect that her personal income may not be as high as everyone imagined.
In the show, when Chen Lijun and other sisters talked about the issue of her parents getting older day by day, she lamented that she was in her thirties and could only support herself now, not her parents (the unintentional message was that her income was not as high as everyone imagined).
Chen Lijun talked about in the mango variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" that she can only support herself, but she can't support her parents, and one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
In fact, this is not surprising in modern society, because today's young people live and work under great pressure, especially when it comes to buying a house and a car, and even raising the next generation, they may need help from their parents to varying degrees. Most of the people I know have stable and good pensions, and they generally don't need to support their children, but they have a lot of help for their children and even grandchildren.
But these words came from the mouth of a top Yue opera, and it was quite surprising to our audience. Chen Lijun expressed this emotion, in addition to the inner self-blame brought about by filial piety to her parents, but also indirectly revealed that after she became popular, her income may not be as high as everyone imagined, after all, how much she can get in this wave of traffic realization, maybe it is not her own decision.

Chen Lijun is now an actor in the Zhejiang Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe, and according to her own words, she is now a person in the system.
I don't know what the current income structure of their Yue Opera actors is? If it is a general artist management company, it usually signs a contract with the actor to agree on the income commission ratio, if it is an actor who has not become famous in the early stage, usually the personal commission ratio is very low, because at this time, it is more necessary to supply resources from the company, that is, the company needs to cultivate artists in the early stage, and it still needs to pay a lot of costs.
When the artist becomes popular, when he signs a contract with the company, he can get a relatively higher commission ratio, and the more popular he is, his voice will be relatively higher. So what is the current state of Chen Lijun's income? Does she receive a fixed salary every month? Or will all the businesses she participates in now be paid a proportional commission? This is what I am a little curious about. [Flash of inspiration] [shy]
Let's take a look at the team behind Chen Lijun, Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe, as early as the 80s of the 20th century, Zhejiang wanted to vigorously cultivate a group of outstanding Yue Opera newcomers. Therefore, on September 3, 1983, 28 beauties were selected from the training personnel to form the Zhejiang Yue Opera Xiaobaihua Performance Troupe. After intensive rehearsals, he was rehearsed at the Hangzhou Victory Theater for the repertoire to Hong Kong.
In November 1983, he formed the "Zhejiang Yue Opera Xiaobaihua Performance Troupe in Hong Kong", which performed in Hong Kong for the first time and was a complete success. Later, on May 21, 1984, Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe was formally established.
From 1999 ~ 2018, the head of Zhejiang Xiaobaihua has always been the master of Yue Opera, Mao Weitao, who is not only a three-time winner of the Plum Blossom Award, but also a star with milestone significance for Yue Opera. For example, she and the Golden Rooster Award actress He Saifei in the classic play "Five Women's Birthday" in Zhejiang Xiaobaihua in their early years can be regarded as the top CP in ancient times.
Although He Saifei has come out to film a long time ago, her relationship has always stayed in Zhejiang Xiaobaihua, He Saifei once said that she will keep her relationship in Zhejiang Xiaobaihua, largely because of Mao Weitao, which shows her great trust in this former partner.
Judging from the information that can be found on the Internet, Mao Weitao officially served as the head of Zhejiang Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe in 1999. In March 2018, he stepped down as the "President of Zhejiang Xiaobaihuayue Theater" (head of Xiaobaihua Troupe), and was appointed by the former Department of Culture to officially transform into the chairman of Baiyue Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd. as an "off-the-job entrepreneur".
On September 26, 2019, Mao Weitao's Butterfly Theater opened for trial operation, which is a self-financing theater operator, and we now see the popular Yue Opera "New Dragon Gate Inn" launched by them. Mao Weitao is the producer and artistic director of this Yue Opera.
According to Mao Weitao, from the premiere of "New Dragon Gate Inn" on March 28, 2023 to March 22 this year, 167 performances were completed in one year, and now the venue is full, and it is difficult to find a ticket. Among the audience who bought tickets, 80% of the audience had never been exposed to Yue Opera before.
Chen Lijun's popularity last year played a great role in attracting non-traditional Yue Opera audiences. There are factors such as Chen Lijun's own advantages and efforts, and there must also be the blessing of comprehensive factors such as the operation and promotion of the team behind it.
The popularity of this wave of "New Dragon Gate Inn" has also created great economic value for Zhejiang Xiaobaihua and Baiyue.
From a more macro perspective, in order to let Yue Opera go further and let more young people stay in Yue Opera, in addition to seeing the bright prospects of career development, the prospect of economic returns may also be a factor that cannot be ignored.
Although I started from a very secular point of view, it was also a very realistic point of view, after all, people are required to develop. In any case, I hope that Chen Lijun can also get the financial rewards she deserves, and live up to this wave of top-notch streams. [Pray] [Pray]
