Guo Degang has invested a lot of energy in Peking Opera in the past two years, on the one hand, the Qilin Peking Opera Society has finally begun to open up the situation, and recently tickets have sold for up to 1,000 yuan, even if the ticket price is so high, it is still difficult to find a ticket.
On the other hand, guo Degang's Peking Opera strength has been debated on the Internet, and this debate ultimately boils down to whether Guo Degang is promoting Peking Opera or destroying Peking Opera.
Some netizens take Guo Degang's Peking Opera role in Jigong as an example, a pink Jigong, a mouthful of Peking Opera singing. Some veteran Peking Opera fans believe that this is not Peking Opera, but cross-talk Style Peking Opera.
Some netizens even thought that if Peking Opera needed to be revitalized in this way, it would still let Peking Opera die.
In fact, these doubts boil down to one point, that is, the level of Guo Degang's Peking Opera. Guo Degang himself also admitted that his main business was cross-talk and Peking opera was a hobby, which determined that he could not become an expert in a certain school of Peking Opera.
Because you want to become a real Meipai, then some of the mistakes in the Meipai must also be learned in place, and the result of long-term practice is that the throat muscles are fixed, so that you can become a real Meipai. But in this way, other minor tunes cannot be sung.
So the question is, since Guo Degang also believes that his Peking Opera level is only the level of ticket holders, why does he still disregard the sneers of some opera fans and plunge into this thankless matter?
There is only one reason, that is, I really love Peking Opera and don't want this line to end. Guo Degang is very clear that in the revitalization of today's Peking Opera industry, what is most lacking is not a master with a level, but the loss of the audience group.
If you want to revitalize Peking Opera, you must first cultivate the audience.
Guo Degang's efforts for so many years have also begun to gradually show results, and the Qilin Peking Opera Club has developed from the scale of two or three hundred people at the beginning and the ticket price of two or three hundred to today, and the ticket price has also ranged from 388 to 1000 yuan.
Recently, Guo Degang held several Peking Opera performances, not only Mr. Ma Zhiming, a senior master in the cross-talk industry, came to the scene in person, but also many famous Peking Opera actors also came to support, Guo Degang sent a text to express his gratitude.
Guo Degang's post is very meaningful, especially at the time of the greatest controversy, specifically pointing out the presence and support of these Peking Opera predecessors. In particular, Mr. Tian Lihe, the predecessor of Xiangsheng and guo Degang's master, sent his granddaughter Tian Pei to officially join the Qilin Peking Opera Society.
Tian Pei has loved opera since childhood, especially Like Peking Opera, with his outstanding talent and his own efforts, he has won countless awards in the Peking Opera industry at a young age, and Peking Opera Huadan is a must.
I wish that the future Qilin Peking Opera Society, like the Deyun Society, will reproduce the glory of the Peking Opera industry in its own unique way.
