Chapter 249: "Window Viewing" Leads the National Trend, the Four Kings of the New Era
[416 Art Girl Group "Exploring the Window" is online! # Post-00s Shanghai Theatre Academy girls sing pop songs in Peking Opera style! ]
At 8 o'clock, the short video "Exploring the Window" was officially uploaded to the short video platform.
Under the promotion of Lin Zhixing's Weibo, countless netizens, musicians, and opera people clicked on this video at the first time.
The beginning of the video.
Dong Chen, dressed in a costume, stood on the stage of the drama, singing awkwardly.
The picture was given to the audience below, and the audience in the front row held bricks and rotten eggs in their hands, shaking them in their hands, ready to throw them on the stage.
Although netizens guessed that it was a contrasting shooting technique, they laughed so hard when they saw such a funny scene.
"It's not easy for ancient opera workers. This one can see that there is no shortage of tiles at home, hahaha!"
"Isn't this Dong Chen who leaped miracle? He has a talent for acting!"
The camera returned to the stage, and Dong Chen left the stage in a mess under the greeting of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. Audiences in the theater left their seats one after another, cursing and preparing to leave.
At this moment, the stage curtain opened again.
Five beautiful girls wearing Hanfu with unique oriental charm appeared in the center of the stage.
One of the tall and thin girls raised her hand and sang, then spoke.
"She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land"
"One step and one sentence is about lovesickness"
The crisp opening, like a lark's pleasant voice, made the netizens in front of the screen brighten up, and countless netizens tacitly pressed the volume + button.
In the video, the audience who were halfway out of the venue stopped and looked back, with surprise in their eyes.
"The people off the stage are on the list of successful candidates"
"I never recognized the old acquaintances on the stage"
The members of the 416 Art Women's Group sang in turn, with the elegance of Mei style singing, the sobbing and graceful singing of Cheng style singing, the soft and sweet singing of Huadan, and the high and steady singing of Laodan.
The charming voices echoed in the theater, and all the audience who left returned to their seats.
"He was talking about the wedding night"
"Everyone congratulated the beautiful woman and the talented man"
"I sighed before I heard a word, there is a love-crazy in the play"
In the video, while the front row audience cheered, the bricks and rotten eggs in their hands were all replaced with gold necklaces and wallets.
Such a contrasting scene made the netizens outside the screen laugh again, and almost all of them liked the video, with the number of likes increasing by thousands per second.
"Love in the play, love in the play"
"Strangers meet in the flowery and brocaded land"
"She sang..."
In the climax of the song, the girls of the 416 Art Girls Group sang in chorus, and their graceful and ethereal voices made the audience in front of the screen intoxicated.
After watching the entire video, more than 90% of netizens chose to listen to it again, and left good comments in the video comment area.
"The five young ladies sang very beautifully, because you have a better understanding of opera!"
"This is what the national quintessence should be like, so beautiful, I am drunk! Suddenly I understand how our ancestors lived without mobile phones!"
"This is what I hated the most before, why do I like this tune now, am I that old?"
"Very good, I like it very much. At least it makes me more or less understand why Peking opera was so popular in the past. It can be regarded as a little door to the ancient Peking opera."
The video was posted only ten minutes ago, and the number of likes exceeded 200,000 and the number of comments exceeded 50,000. While netizens forwarded and shared it with each other, the official also began to promote this popular video.
…
Peking Opera Academy.
Room 416 of the female dormitory.
"I am so nervous, will all the 80,000 fans disappear..."
"Will they scold us for ruining Peking opera?"
Half an hour after the video was released, the five girls of the 416 Art Girls Group, who were sitting on pins and needles, hesitated for a long time, and still plucked up the courage to open the video account.
"Ah!!!"
Captain Bian Tingting rubbed her eyes and exclaimed, "80,000 fans have become 200,000, my God!"
"Really! The video has 300,000 likes!"
The data was unexpected and seemed like a dream. The five girls couldn't wait to open the video comment area.
[I really like this young lady who sings Lao Dan. She feels like she has experienced a lot, as if she is reminiscing about the past when she is old. ]
Bian Tingting chuckled. This kind of comments that only praise herself are embarrassing.
"More!"
She clicked a like with her backhand.
[Professional things should be left to professionals. This is called opera singing! ]
[Catch all five of these and sing for me all night. It's so beautiful! ]
The five girls were overjoyed by the good reviews and admired Lin Zhixing's ability to create stars.
...
The next morning.
In the Good Luck Studio.
After Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen arrived at the company, they immediately checked the video playback of "Exploring the Window". The data exceeded their expectations by one third.
The number of likes reached a terrifying 1 million, and the number of views exceeded 30 million. The original soundtrack of the video was used in many Chinese style videos, and Internet celebrities and netizens also began to post videos singing this song.
It is no exaggeration to say that a song "Exploring the Window" set off a Chinese style trend in short videos overnight.
They did not pay much attention to the good reviews, and the expected doubts did appear.
The opera songs they sang and traditional folk art are still obviously different. As a result, some bad comments appeared, and the accusations of "tampering with Peking Opera" and "destroying national quintessence" were put on the heads of the five girls.
"Brother Lin, I want to fight these haters!"
Dong Chen, who worked hard on the production, rolled up his sleeves and said angrily: "If Peking Opera continues to be this old-fashioned, young people will not even be interested in understanding it. Some people scold them for insulting Peking Opera. It's really hilarious!"
"Leave those people alone."
Lin Zhixing waved his hand, "No matter whether you are a celebrity, Internet celebrity or a novel author, part of the money you earn is the money you get from being scolded. The world is such a big place, you have to explain it to Zhang San, Li Si still doesn't understand, explain it Come here? If you want to show off your face, let’s talk about it!”
"Too."
Dong Chen nodded, sighed, and put down his phone.
Two minutes later...
Lin Zhixing yelled: "Dong, if you scold me in a small cell, someone will force you to scold me!"
…
…
The day after "Exploring the Window" became popular on short video platforms.
This fanatical national trend is so exaggerated that as long as a video is tagged #opera#416literary girl group#国风, the number of views will at least double.
Xiao Yang is a Peking Opera actor. Although he loves this industry, his income is so meager that he already wants to change his career.
Last year, there were 145 registered Peking Opera and Kunqu opera performance organizations across the country, with 8,076 employees. There are a total of 31,000 domestic performances in a year, but the purely market-based box office revenue is only 450 million yuan, and the average box office of a single performance is only 14,500 yuan.
Peking opera practitioners across the country have worked hard for a year, but it may not be worth the box office of a medium-sized investment movie, let alone the income of opera actors.
Xiao Yang, who only received a salary of more than 2,000 yuan after singing for a month, had no choice but to start a live broadcast. Usually there are only a few uncles watching in the live broadcast room.
The elders only support themselves, and all the money goes to the aunt.
Today, during his lunch break, he started the live broadcast as usual.
"My father has been telling me since I was little."
"The Red Plum Opera is not very sung"
As Xiao Yang sang, his eyes suddenly lit up. He received a sports car gift for the first time in the live broadcast room. "Thank you boss for the sports car."
When the song reached the interlude, he accidentally glanced at it and was surprised to find that there were 500 viewers in the live broadcast room. It was like he was dreaming.
"You sing well! I recently fell in love with opera because of the song "Exploring the Window". You sing well, please support me!"
"Brother, can you sing "Exploring the Window"? The online audience will definitely double if you sing this song!"
After broadcasting.
Xiao Yang curiously searched for the song "Exploring the Window". After learning about the song, he also liked it very much and left a message of encouragement on the account of the 416 Literary Girl Group.
[Thank you, opera may really have a second spring! 】
…
…
Peking TV station.
In the director's office.
"Director, this is the ratings in the past two days."
"Well, put it on the table!"
Station elder Luo blew the freshly brewed hot tea and showed no interest in the ratings report on the table.
China Television has a total of 15 channels. The AATV11 opera channel, which is under its own control, has the lowest ratings. It is at the bottom every day. He has despaired of this channel.
Who are the serious young people who want to listen to opera? This traditional art will come to an end sooner or later.
After half a cup of tea was drunk, the elder Luo put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and asked: "Just put the things there, do you have anything else?"
The secretary pointed to the report on the table and said with a smile: "Director, please take a look at the report now."
Taiwan elder Luo picked up the report and glanced at it impatiently.
He was suddenly startled, rubbed his eyes, grabbed his eyes on the table and quickly put them on, "It increased by 5 points in two days? It has never increased so exaggeratedly during the holidays. What is going on?"
The secretary smiled and said that "Exploring the Window" has become a trend in the country through short videos, and young people have begun to pay attention to traditional art.
Exploring the window?
Taiwan elder Luo turned on the computer and listened to the song curiously. After listening to it, he was full of praise.
"College students who attend opera, those born after 2000, opera, promotion and inheritance, these labels combined, they are very suitable for promotion as role models!"
"Quickly, contact them quickly, ask them to participate in the interview, and design a program based on them!"
…
…
Peking Opera Academy, in the cafeteria.
"Senior sister, are you the 416 literary girl group?"
"Um."
"Wow, can you take a photo with you guys? You are my role models!"
"Thank you, thank you. You can take a group photo."
In the past two days, the five girls from the 416 Literary Girls Group have really enjoyed great success in the academy. The juniors and girls from the same school took photos together, and the teacher also praised me during class. It really felt like I was a grown-up.
The five girls were clearing the plates when suddenly Bian Tingting's cell phone rang.
Zhu Huan frowned and said, "Tingting, isn't that who's calling again? You're not popular and I've ignored you, and now I suddenly propose to date you, I feel like you have bad intentions."
"Brother Chen is calling."
Bian Tingting turned her phone around and waved it in front of her roommate twice. After answering the call, she was so excited that she stood up.
"Really? OK, OK, I'll tell them."
After hanging up the phone, Bian Tingting was so excited that she hugged her roommate, "Good news, Brother Chen said we are going to CTV to record a program!"
"AATV11?"
"We're going to be on TV, hahaha!"
The girls were so excited.
Only two and a half days after the song "Exploring the Window" was released, the five girls received invitations from CTV Radio, and it became as popular as a rocket!
…
…
"I am the King of Singer" recording building.
In the player locker room.
"Brother Lin, you just said you wouldn't respond to those black fans who were causing trouble."
Dong Chen handed the phone to Lin Zhixing, who had changed his clothes, "Now not only the TV station has invited them to do programs, but the official media has also spoken out to support them."
Lin Zhixing glanced at the content on his phone and burst out laughing, "The official's praise is a slap in the face to those people."
Dong Chen smiled and nodded, "No, now whenever comments attacking them appear, fans will attack them collectively, so there is no need to scold them themselves."
While the two were talking, the door to the locker room opened.
"She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land~~"
A singer hummed a tune and walked into the dressing room.
The opera was hard to hear and it was impossible to tell who was singing the song based on the timbre. Lin Zhixing glanced over and saw that the person who walked in to change clothes was Yu Jiang.
"Brother Jiang!"
Lin Zhixing raised his hand and said hello, "Have you considered becoming a singer? If so, I'll call the police."
When Yu Jiang heard this, he reacted and burst out laughing, "Is my singing so bad? I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language. Although I don't understand drama, I know a little bit about boxing."
After the joke, Yu Jiang patted Lin Zhixing on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up, "I like both "One Night in Peking" and the song "Exploring the Window" very much. It's great to be able to start a national trend!"
"Thank you, Brother Jiang."
While they were chatting, the door to the dressing room was pushed open again.
"She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land~~"
Who is singing again?
The three of them were all stunned. This a cappella singer was very good, with no flaws to be found at all, and the timbre was somewhat special.
"This is the men's locker room!"
Yu Jiang raised his head and shouted, and the person was stunned.
Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen looked at each other and looked curiously.
Where did the woman come from, it was two men.
Standing next to Guo Jiahe was a white and elegant man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The man's name is "Cheng Huan" and he was invited by Guo Jiahe to be a future singing guest.
Cheng Huan came here this time because he wanted to watch Fengqi Wutong's performance live in the audience, so that he could know himself and the enemy well.
"Brother Huan, hello!"
Yu Jiang recognized Cheng Huan, stood up, smiled and came forward to say hello.
Lin Zhixing didn't recognize him at all. After sitting back, he bumped Dong Chen with his elbow and asked curiously: "Who is he? Do you know him?"
"You don't even know him?"
Dong Chen shrugged his shoulders convincingly and explained: "His name is Cheng Huan. He has a voice kissed by an angel. He has won numerous musical awards and is known as the Four Heavenly Kings of the new era."
The four kings of the new era?
I just heard him sing "Looking Through the Window". His singing was indeed very good and his voice was indeed unique.
Lin Zhixing rubbed his chin, nodded in understanding, and asked curiously: "When were the four kings of the new era selected? Is it me or not?"
Dong Chen: "...No, if you had debuted, I would have had you a few years earlier."
"Okay, it's okay."
Lin Zhixing said in his heart: "I am Wang Jie, one of the Four Heavenly Kings who are at their peak."
