Chapter 705 Who Told You to Adapt the Opera Like This? (Two in One)
"Chinese People Don't Dance to Foreign Music" is a pure music, mainly folk music.
This song comes from the music editing of a B station up master, and was later moved to the New Year's Eve party of B station.
The situation at the scene was that Sun Wukong was playing DJ, a group of fairies and heavenly soldiers and generals were dancing, and there were symphony orchestras and folk music bands playing together.
That music performance was a music festival of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, and some animation works of Shanghai Fine Arts were played on the big screen.
This program later successfully broke the circle, allowing many people to feel the charm of folk music.
Who said that only foreign music can be used for dancing?
Xu Ye did not have a one-to-one corresponding animation work, but the animations he had were enough to support this performance.
He also added some of his own ideas to the design of the entire stage, so that the rhythm of the entire program could also be rounded.
On the stage, Xu Ye played the suona, and the lights around him gradually lit up, and several folk music performers surrounded him.
Everyone had guqin, flute, pipa, drums, etc.
Everyone's outfits were also somewhat ancient.
The suona that Xu Ye played at the beginning also has a famous name, which is "Small Knife Society Overture".
As the suona sounded, other instruments joined in.
Later, Nezha and Calabash Brothers started playing DJs, and electronic music was also integrated.
The atmosphere on the scene immediately changed.
"Wow, I didn't expect to see the combination of electronic music and folk music in my lifetime!"
"Dean, you are really good at making things happen!"
"What kind of weird combination is this?"
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.
Everyone has watched the New Year's Eve party for so many years, but has never seen such a New Year's Eve party.
And generally, there are rarely such pure music performances at the party, at least in the large-scale evening parties on TV stations in recent years.
If it is ordinary pure music, it will really make the audience drowsy and have no desire to watch.
But this stage brought by Xu Ye gave everyone a feeling!
Exciting!
Some viewers have already taken this opportunity to share the live broadcast room with their friends' chat groups.
"Come and watch Xiaolanzhan's New Year's Eve party, Xu Ye's show is absolutely amazing!"
"I feel like I'm dancing in Hanfu!"
"Isn't this more interesting than watching those traffic stars singing?"
"Compared with this show, other TV programs are mediocre!"
"This is the show we young people should watch!"
In the chat group, on Weibo, and even in the live broadcast room barrage of other TV stations' New Year's Eve parties, people are talking about Xiaolanzhan's New Year's Eve party.
Backstage, Yu Wei saw that the number of viewers of Xiaolanzhan's live broadcast continued to rise.
The previous peak was more than 60 million viewers online at the same time, but now the number of viewers online at the same time has reached 70 million, and it is still rising rapidly. More and more viewers are attracted by Xu Ye's show.
On the stage, folk music and symphony complement each other.
Even people who don't understand pure music can hear the emotions in the music.
When the music changed again, a female voice sang.
The sound seemed to come from the quiet mountains, with a sense of desolation and wildness.
It's just that no one can understand the language of the song, but fortunately, subtitles appeared at the same time.
"Ei-Sim dang hlax bō gīeh njiah dāi ei (The love remains unchanged despite the mountains and rivers)~"
"Grax dang hu bō gīeh vōi hrom (We part ways but not our hearts)~"
"Moh nin hei moh nin hei moh nin hei (That's it)~"
"Ndia leing ndia leing seih, ndia leing ndia leing seih (Let's dance together)~"
Familiar viewers in the live broadcast room immediately heard what these sentences were singing.
"This is the Wa language!"
The song used here is adapted from the Wa song "Galinsai".
This kind of song originating from ethnic minorities has its own unique charm.
When electronic music and Wa songs are combined, a different kind of fire is instantly collided.
Just when the audience thought that only music was attractive, the camera switched to the other side of the stage.
A group of female dancers in gauze skirts walked onto the stage. Their sleeves fluttered, and their hair and clothes were obviously carefully designed.
Their skin was as white as snow, their smiles were charming, their eyes were beautiful, and they looked like fairies.
On the big screen behind, there were also animated scenes of fairies dancing.
These animated scenes were specially made by Xu Ye at the Dream Building Studio. Anyway, they will definitely be used in the future, so it is not a waste to make them.
The movements of the fairies dancing on the big screen are almost exactly the same as those of the female dancers on the stage, and even the clothes are similar.
In the electronic music, these female dancers twisted their graceful bodies and brought everyone a fairy disco.
In an instant, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded completely.
"Mom, I saw fairies dancing!"
"My mouth was wide open for a long time. Dean, you really did a big job this time!"
"Congratulations, everyone, you got a Jade Emperor experience card!"
"Brothers, I was wrong. I used to think that the emperor always watched the palace maids dancing. I was really wrong!"
"I am so happy even through the screen. I can't imagine how happy King Zhou was!"
The audience in the live broadcast room was completely excited.
The audience of Xiaolanzhan is mostly young people. Regardless of gender, who can refuse to see beautiful women?
The fairies danced on the stage. They didn't dance the old-fashioned dance, but a more cheerful dance. This feels completely different.
Nezha and Calabash Brothers played the DJ, the fairies danced, and the symphony orchestra was also playing.
The situation on the stage was chaotic but orderly.
When the folk music ended, the scene turned to the symphony orchestra on the other side.
Wang Liming was holding a purple gourd in his hand.
Everyone knew at a glance that it was Qiwa's gourd.
Later, even the heavenly soldiers and generals in armor came on stage and danced to the music.
The atmosphere on the field was getting more and more lively.
"Dean, you are really awesome!"
"This program is really great!"
"The combination of East and West, good work is worth a reward! This song is really good!"
"This program should be on the Spring Festival Gala!"
"But this program can't be on the Spring Festival Gala!"
The barrage was full of praise for this program.
When these music sounded, it really gave everyone a shocking feeling.
Before this, I had never seen such a program, and the more I watched, the more I got addicted.
At this time, the audience found that Xu Ye was gone.
Xu Ye just played a suona at the beginning, and then he disappeared.
"Where is the dean?"
"I still want to see the dean dance, why is the dean gone."
"Did you notice that there were several pictures on the big screen that were not from any current cartoons."
The program was over, and the audience was still chatting in the barrage.
"I noticed that there are a few scenes that are not, probably the animations that Dream Building Studio will make later?"
"Dream Building Studio still has so many good things in its hands?"
"It's obvious that it hasn't been squeezed out yet. Don't think that you can rest after the five-year plan is over. Keep working!"
Because of this program, everyone has become interested in many animation works of Dream Building Studio in the future.
Backstage, Yu Wei looked at the live broadcast data, and her face was a little red because of excitement.
In the nearly ten-minute program just now, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room not only did not decline, but has been continuously growing.
At the end of the program "Chinese People Don't Dance Foreign Disco", the number of people online at the same time reached 82.39 million.
This is not the popularity calculated by the formula, but the actual number of viewers.
For a New Year's Eve party that has no TV channel and is only broadcast live on its own website, this result is very eye-catching.
If the number of online live broadcast viewers of all TV stations tonight is really ranked, Xiaolan Station is estimated to be able to compete with CCTV.
But this is not the end yet.
You should know that "Chinese people don't dance to foreign music" is a program planned by Xu Ye, but it is not Xu Ye's program.
Xu Ye's main job is a singer, and he also has his own singing stage.
Playing suona on this pure music program is just for fun.
Xu Ye has planned more than one program on this stage.
At this time, behind the scenes of the New Year's Eve parties of several TV stations across the country, the directors in charge of the New Year's Eve parties were a little confused after seeing the hot search topics on Weibo.
What "Chinese people don't dance to foreign music"?
Click to see, it turns out that this is a program that Xu Ye put together at the New Year's Eve party of Xiaolanzhan.
Just this one program directly made it to the top ten hot searches on Weibo.
"This is too much of a trick, isn't it?"
"How dare Yu Wei do this?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand at all, how can such a crappy program attract people?"
Among these directors, some were surprised at the creativity and innovation of this program, and some were surprised that Yu Wei would agree to let such a program appear on the stage of the New Year's Eve party.
There are also some directors who think that this kind of program is complete garbage, an insult to traditional culture, and they have to apologize to the people of the whole country.
Different people have different ideas.
When planning this program, both Xu Ye and Yu Wei had anticipated this situation.
But Xu Ye never cared about the opinions of these people.
He knew who his program was for.
At this time, Xu Ye had returned to the backstage.
In front of him were four young people.
These young people are all UP hosts of Xiaolanzhan. The track they are in is very special, called the intangible cultural heritage track.
And the intangible cultural heritage skills they master are shadow puppetry.
In the new era, shadow puppetry also needs to seek change and innovation.
These UP hosts shared some of the processes of making shadow puppets online, popularized the knowledge of shadow puppetry to netizens, and accumulated some fans.
But the shadow puppetry they are going to perform today is very unusual.
Wang Chun is one of the descendants of shadow puppetry. He still remembers that day when he was at home thinking about how to promote shadow puppetry, the staff of Xiaolanzhan called him and asked him to come to the Magic City as soon as possible.
All board, lodging and transportation expenses were covered.
When he arrived, he met Xu Ye in the conference room. Wang Chun was very surprised.
After communicating with Xu Ye, Wang Chun learned that Xu Ye wanted him to perform shadow puppetry at the New Year's Eve party of Xiaolanzhan.
Wang Chun was quite excited at first, but when Xu Ye told him his request, Wang Chun wanted to slam the table and quit.
He said at the time, "This is not worthy of the craftsmanship passed down by our ancestors!"
However, Xu Ye asked him to post a video first to test the waters and see the effect.
After Wang Chun went back, he first made a new shadow puppet according to Xu Ye's requirements, and then posted a video to test the waters.
Unexpectedly, the number of views of his video was the highest among all his videos.
Shadow puppetry is popular!
Watching everyone's discussion, Wang Chun made a decision that went against his ancestors. He wanted to perform shadow puppetry at the New Year's Eve party according to Xu Ye's requirements.
Xu Ye said to everyone: "Don't be nervous, it's guaranteed to be good-looking."
Wang Chun and others nodded.
Then, under the leadership of the staff, everyone took their equipment to the stage.
Not long after, the host announced the next program.
"Please enjoy the program brought to you by several of our intangible cultural heritage up masters, the shadow play Tom and Jerry selection!"
When the host announced, all the question marks appeared on the bullet screen in the live broadcast room.
Everyone thought they had heard it wrong.
"No, buddy, how is the shadow play connected with Tom and Jerry?"
"Wait, did I hear it wrong or did the host announce it wrong?"
"What the hell? Did the dean do it?"
Sure enough, on the stage, the curtain for the shadow play was ready, with lights on the curtain, and Tom's head and a little Jerry were on the curtain.
The song information was also displayed in the lower left corner at this time.
"Shadow play Tom and Jerry selection "City Country Mouse"".
"Director: Xu Ye."
"Lyrics: Xu Ye."
The audience was relieved when they saw Xu Ye's name.
Such a crazy program must have been done by Xu Ye!
The sound of the erhu sounded, and the feeling of opera came up all of a sudden, or it was Peking Opera.
As mentioned before, some of the programs this time are combined with traditional Chinese opera, and this shadow play is a small attempt.
At first, Wang Chun was not happy to learn that he would use shadow play to perform "Tom and Jerry", until he made a Jerry shadow play, and the number of views was directly hundreds of thousands, he knew that this would really work!
Then, there was today's program.
On the big screen, Jerry and Tom the cat, who was sleeping beside him, appeared.
Jerry stuffed a letter under Tom's paw and waved goodbye to Tom.
This episode is exactly the plot of "City Country Mouse", and the netizens of Xiaolanzhan are also very familiar with the content of this episode.
The lyrics also sounded at this time.
"Jerry left a letter and ran outside the village, and Tom couldn't help laughing~"
"He is like a fisherman outside the Peach Blossom Land, and I am like Mr. Wu Liu, happy in my humble room~"
Accompanied by the lyrics, the story of "City Country Mouse" adapted into a shadow play was performed on the big screen.
The audience was already stunned.
"Good fellow, your voice called my grandfather over!"
"My grandma said the show I just watched was so noisy, this show is pretty good."
"My dad asked me why I suddenly started to listen to opera."
"I feel like I need to get a steak wrapped in chopped green onion pancake after listening to this."
"It's just right, this is what the old Buddha listened to back then!"
If it was a shadow play in the past, no one would be very interested, and no one would understand those singing parts.
But it's completely different with "Tom and Jerry".
Everyone remembers this plot clearly.
"Listen outside the door, the footsteps are fast, stirring up the world and turning back~"
"He said that the city is full of lights and people like the sea~"
"Thinking of this trip, tears welled up~"
"The four-wheeled vehicle runs fast, and there are no steps in the tall building~"
The Peking opera lyrics are still going on, and the one singing this is a Peking opera UP host on Xiaolanzhan.
The shadow play is about Jerry leaving the small village and going to the big city, and seeing the life of the big city.
The audience couldn't hold back as they watched.
Peking opera and Tom and Jerry can actually be combined.
In a certain family, a boy was holding a tablet and watching the New Year's Eve party of Xiaolanzhai.
When the Peking opera started, the grandfather who was sitting next to him watching TV turned down the volume of the TV and listened carefully to the singing.
It was obviously the first time he heard it, but the grandfather had to sing along.
The boy glanced at the grandfather awkwardly, and was relieved when he saw that the grandfather had no intention of coming to see the content on the screen.
If he looked at the screen, the old man's three views would be shattered.
The singing continued.
"A few dancing girls are lovable, and the candlesticks are urging people to go to the balcony~"
"The alley was almost harmed by wild cats, and the jewelry store was mistaken for a thief~"
When this part came out, the boy obviously noticed that the grandfather's fists were clenched together nervously.
This is listening.
Not to mention, if you don't watch this shadow play, the singing is really good.
"So he came back home despite the thousands of miles away~"
"From now on, I will no longer love the prosperity, and I will eat and drink with a bowl of rice and a gourd of water--"
"Better--Penglai--"
On the big screen, Jerry, who had gone to the city for a walk and almost lost his life in the city, returned to the village.
He tore up the letter left for Tom and continued to stay in the village.
A shadow play performance ended here.
The boy laughed out loud.
This is too funny!
When he was about to send a barrage, the grandfather on the side said: "This Jerry is such a good guy!"
None of the boys could hold back their laughter. Seeing his grandfather looking over, he quickly said: "Master, you are right!"
He typed what his grandfather just said into the barrage.
"My father said, this Jerry is really a good guy!"
The audience was laughing crazy, and the barrage was overwhelming.
"This kind of program can only be seen at the party of Xiaolan Station, and you will never see it on other TV stations!"
"It's so amazing, it reminds me of the days when I served Lafayette in the palace!"
"It fills the gap that there is no Tom and Jerry in Chinese Peking Opera!"
Just when everyone thought the shadow puppet show ended here, they didn't expect that new program information appeared in the lower left corner.
"Excerpt from the shadow puppet show Tom and Jerry "Tom Night at White Moonlight"".
After seeing this paragraph, the audience was stunned.
Why is there still there!
As for this episode, it is a classic episode of "Tom and Jerry" and the first episode Xu Ye released at that time. It is called "Romantic Serenade".
Tom came to sing to the female cat Tudogalo late at night, but was beaten up by Spike and Jerry.
Soon, the accompaniment sounded, the singing came, and the shadow puppet show began to perform, but this time it was not Peking Opera, but a ditty called Zhaohuatai.
This ditty has a fixed tune, and the lyrics can be written according to the standard. For example, "Exploring Qingshui River" uses Zhaohuatai tune, so some people call this tune Tanqingshuihe tune.
"It's so early, the moon is shining, and the shadow is shining on the bungalow~"
"Master Tang has made a plan to have a private meeting with Bai Yueguang~"
The audience also listened to it now.
Not long after, after this little song was sung, the grandfather of the previous boy said: "This Mr. Tang is a love-struck man."
The boy suddenly couldn't hold himself any longer.
He could only pray in his heart that this man must not watch what is playing on the screen. It may be a little different from what you imagine.
However, the adaptation of traditional opera did not end. After singing several more excerpts from "Tom and Jerry", the program came to an end.
The shadow puppet show is over, but the adaptation of traditional opera is not.
Later, there was a "Super Star" adapted from Henan Opera. Several Henan Opera performers wore Henan Opera costumes and sang "Super Star" on the stage, leaving the audience stunned again.
"I need a word that is more serious than the collapse of rituals and music!"
"Forget it, it's passed down anyway."
"In the context of the new era, traditional opera has also kept pace with the times and has taken on new vitality. I can't continue editing, so who can kill Xu Ye!"
Shadiao netizens made various jokes on the barrage.
There's no way around it, this opera-adapted program is just too lively.
After this program ended, other programs of the party also appeared one after another.
Xiaolan Station’s New Year’s Eve party has several topics that have become hot searches.
This made the directors of other TV stations look at it in a daze.
Is a New Year’s Eve party hosted by a video website really that great?
Many people didn't pay much attention to Xiaolanzhan's New Year's Eve party before, but now it seems that's not the case at all.
A video website can actually bring about a New Year's Eve party.
Everyone also understood that Xu Ye must have contributed to this.
The party at Xiaolan Station was still going on, and one of the audience members thought of something.
"Have you noticed that the rabbit didn't appear on the stage?"
"It's true, that rabbit is also an animation from Dream Studio, and it wasn't available at the concert just now."
"And Dong Yukun didn't come on stage either."
"The dean is not here either."
New Year's Eve parties are always held until twelve o'clock in the evening, which is called New Year's Eve.
It's already past eleven o'clock at this point in the party, and it's almost coming to an end.
Time continued to pass, and finally, the host said: "There is such an animation on our little bad website. Its protagonist is a group of rabbits."
"In those years, there was a group of rabbits like this that supported our flower gardening family."
During the host's remarks, the stage lights dimmed and animation appeared on the big screen.
A shackled rabbit walked step by step towards the execution ground.
The rabbit's voice also came.
"I died for the revolution. Death is neither fearful nor pity, but the speed, ferocity and value of the sacrifice actually made me cry with joy from the bottom of my heart at this moment."
The rabbit walked up to the executioner, and the executioner raised his knife and dropped it.
The screen turned, and young rabbits were fighting bravely on the battlefield in the city, and the background sound also sounded.
"China's weakness has reached an uncontrollable point today. The majestic China is looked down upon by other countries and is looked down upon by foreigners. How can China not think about revolution?"
The audience has already understood that the program belonging to "That Rabbit" is coming!
"Some of these young people who died were talented and some were from well-off families. They were willing to die just because of their faith."
Everyone thought that the group of rabbits that supported the flower growers back then were actually a group of young people.
Their age is no different from everyone else, and many of them are even younger than everyone else.
"There are people in all countries who have sacrificed their lives for reform. Today, China's reform requires bloodshed and sacrifice, starting from my generation!"
In the picture, rabbits are used to represent martyrs who died.
It also shows their ages at the time of sacrifice. They were all young teenagers!
When the scenes appeared and the voices rang out, everyone's thoughts were pulled back to that humiliating era.
That era seems a bit magnificent now, but it is precisely because of those people that we can sigh at the magnificent moment now!
"My beloved Qionghua, the bullets are exhausted, the aid is gone, the people are dead, the city has been broken, and most of China has fallen into the hands of the enemy. The country has reached the critical moment of life and death. There is no other way except for us to die for it."
"I have promised my seven-foot body to the country, and it is difficult to promise you again."
"If we don't fight, the country will be destroyed and the race will be extinct!"
"If we want the race to be immortal, we have to fight to the end!"
One after another, the sonorous voices rang out, and the era came to the modern era.
The young rabbits stood in front of the Martyrs' Monument and presented flowers to the people's heroes.
In front of the Martyrs' Monument, a series of illusory rabbit figures hung in the air.
These rabbits all had smiles on their faces, looking at these rabbits who were as young as them.
They whispered, "Please, the future of China."
Some audience members have already shed tears watching these scenes.
At this time, the lights on the stage came on, and Dong Yukun, wearing a black suit, stood in the center of the stage with a microphone in his hand.
The song information also appeared.
The song is called "Proud Boy".
In the lounge backstage, Ma Lu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and he said with a sad face: "You all lied to me, Dong Yukun's song doesn't have a shoulder dance! How to dance it!"
