Recently, there was news in the entertainment industry that a female Internet celebrity named Xiao Panpan was besieged on the Internet because of the adaptation of Huangmei Opera. There are not only many netizens who besieged her, but also many famous singers of Huangmei Opera, including Wu Qiong and so on.
This little Pan Pan may not be familiar to many people, her original name is Pan Wenfeng. In fact, she is not an ordinary Internet celebrity, she is from a science class, graduated from the Beijing Modern Music Academy. She once had a song that swept the country, that is, "Learn to Cat Call", but that song was indeed red, but she was unknown.
Her best stage was the CCTV Lantern Party in 2019, but it did not leave too classic songs and impressions on everyone.
Adhering to the cheerful and funny style of "Learning to Cat Call", Xiao Panpan has recently adapted many famous sections of Huangmei opera. There are some that I have also seen online, and it feels very interesting and fun.
But I didn't expect that because of her interesting and playful things, she was criticized on the list, so many famous artists said that she had tarnished the classics, and then forced many of her works to be removed from the shelves, and she herself was forced to apologize.
So what is right and wrong with this? If you look at the inheritance of opera, maybe there are some problems with Xiao Panpan's singing, and it is not unreasonable for famous artists, netizens, and experts to accuse her, but I want to say from the perspective of an ordinary people, ordinary audiences, and ordinary netizens, I think Xiao PanPan is not too out of line, and we also like her adapted works.
My point of view is mainly elaborated through the following three aspects.
First, Peking Opera, Cross Talk, Drum Song, Huangmei Opera, and Two-Person Turn are all local genres that have been circulating for a hundred years.
But realistically speaking, in the past 30 years, many of these genres have been separated from the practice of life, divorced from young people, and replaced by television, the Internet and other entertainment methods, so they are no longer the same as decades ago.
Second, I would like to say that there is nothing wrong with the adaptation of Little Pan Pan. If his singing method and the content of the work itself are contradictory, I would like to say from another point of view, if the real so-called authentic works have been ignored, it is better, or to allow everyone to carry out some so-called adaptation of the way of singing, this is a big problem?
I guess at least she didn't violate national laws, and she didn't infringe anyone's copyright, right? So why should we beat little Pan Pan to death?
Third, as far as Internet celebrities are concerned, everyone knows that the current Internet celebrities are strange, and compared with those funny Internet celebrities who watch in front of the coat brother and the ramen brother all day, Xiao Pan Pan is not surprising, we really can't tolerate such a girl who likes to sing and change some so-called classics? If that were the case, then some operas would have to be mummified in museums.
