Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 508: A new direction for opera?

After the song comes the dance.

"Flying Dance in the Desert"!
When a group of dancers, dressed in gorgeous golden costumes, danced gracefully, almost everyone in the room was stunned.

The younger generation is sighing: These dancers are so beautiful, each one of them looks like a fairy from heaven!
The old guys were also amazed, saying that these dancers looked like fairies walking out of a mural in the desert!

The silver-haired old man cheered excitedly.

"Great, you dance well! This is our own traditional Chinese culture! You just twist and turn like you're getting an electric shock every day, I don't know what's so good about it!"

The younger generation looked at each other in bewilderment, wanting to complain but not daring to, so they could only stick out their tongues quietly.

Old man, times have changed!

After several singing and dancing programs, it was time for the popular language programs.

The skits on Henan Southern TV also have ancient backgrounds - a proud girl from a small family dreams of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a lady, while her mother is always picky and fights with the matchmaker, which leads to a lot of jokes.

The jokes in the skit were well-interpreted, making everyone laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

However, after laughing, countless people in front of the screen gasped.

The topic of this sketch is extremely bold!
This is not just a subtle allusion, it is almost an open mockery of those little fairies who are obsessed with money worship and those old fairies who sell their daughters for fame...

Such sensitive subject matter would never appear next door!
But the older audience applauded and cheered for the skit.

Once upon a time, on the biggest stage, the material selection for skits was also very bold, with all kinds of criticisms of current social ills going straight to the heart of the matter.

But now, it has become so strict that even the Chinese national football team is not allowed to be ridiculed.

It’s hard to describe in one word…

The quality of the subsequent programs was also quite good.

Whether it is singing and dancing or speaking, although there is no such thing as extremely explosive quality, most of them are above the standard.

However, for viewers who have eaten shit for a few days, a program of this level is already quite good!

Considering that expectations were not high at the beginning, this can be said to be an unexpected surprise!
Halfway through the show, the host came on and held another interactive lottery, and then began to warm up and announce the next show.

"Hey Fang Jun, do you like listening to opera?"

"I like it." The male host smiled and said, "When I was a child, my grandfather played it on the radio every day. I fell in love with it as I listened to it."

"Really?" The female host said with a smile, "Which part do you like best?"

The male host immediately made a pose and said in a clear and melodious voice: "Of course it's The Drunken Concubine!"

"What a coincidence." The female host smiled and said, "Today at our party, someone is also going to sing us a song called "The Drunken Concubine"..."

After hearing this, the old guys in the room became a little restless.

"Not bad, not bad, there is finally an opera program!"

"'The Drunken Concubine', why did you choose this part? CCTV has sung it so many times!"

"It's good enough to have it, but you're still picky."

"I wonder who will be singing? Wang Lan? Zhang Yu? Or..."

Before he could finish his words, the bunch of old guys were dumbfounded.

Because the words typed on the screen were clearly "The New Drunken Concubine"!
What the hell, "New Drunken Concubine"?!

Before they could realize what was happening, a heavily made-up woman in a bright red palace dress appeared on the stage.

Several young people in the room immediately started discussing it.

"So beautiful, who is this?"

"Wow, this palace dress is so beautiful!"

"She has a beautiful figure too, she must be a great beauty..."

Before he finished speaking, the imperial concubine on the stage had already spoken.

"That year the snow fell
Plum blossoms on branches
That year beside the Huaqing Pool
Leaving too much sorrow behind..."

With just these two sentences, everyone in the room was petrified.

The young people were completely confused.

This guy... is a cross-dresser? ! !
Damn it, you are a man, you look like this, how can you let women live? The old guys were so shocked and angry that their faces were almost flushed.

what is this?
what is this? !!

You tell me this is called opera?

Apart from the name being somewhat related to opera, how can this be called opera?!
What a bastard!
Just as they were cursing, the imperial concubine on the stage suddenly flicked her red sleeves and her singing style changed instantly.

"Love and hate are in a moment
Raise a glass to the moon and love the sky

Love and hate are boundless

I asked you when you fell in love..."

The young people's eyes were wide open.

Oh my god...is this the voice of a man singing?
This is too much!

Moreover, the seductiveness in her gestures doesn't seem like acting at all...

Could this guy be a hermaphrodite?

The bunch of old guys were kind of silent at this moment.

As soon as the opera singing came out, they knew that this was indeed a genuine opera singer...it was so authentic.

This opera voice is mixed into such a song, and it sounds weird no matter how you listen to it.

"The chrysanthemum platform reflects the bright moon
Who knew my love was cold

Drunk in the king's arms
Dreaming back to the love of the Tang Dynasty..."

The ninja listened to the whole song unhappily, and the silver-haired old man couldn't help but snorted heavily, "Bullshit!"

"Don't be so quick to curse." The old man next to him soothed her and asked the young people with a smile, "Do you think it sounds good?"

"not bad."

"It sounds good."

“This operatic voice is so exciting.”

"Grandpa, what was the original version of The Drunken Concubine like?"

Hearing this, the old guys fell silent.

Even the silver-haired old man who was cursing fell silent, his brows furrowed in thought.

After a long while, his wife finally sighed and said, "Don't you complain every day that there are no young people willing to listen to opera? In fact, we all know where the problem lies, but we are just unwilling to lower our standards to cater to those young people."

"In fact, as long as the entry threshold can be lowered, it can still attract a lot of young people. Blindly sticking to the old rules will only make opera die faster... Isn't the guiding form of this song good?"

The silver-haired old man opened his mouth, but could not utter a word to refute.

Because just now, his grandson asked in person, "What is the original version of "The Drunken Concubine" like?"

This is more lethal than any sophistry.

Could it be that... this is the way for young people to get started with opera?
Does this kind of thing really sound good?

Could it be that... this is one of the new directions for the future of opera?

For a moment, the old man's thoughts were a little confused.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet, it's useless." My wife advised at the right time, "This thing ultimately depends on the acceptance of the general public. If everyone says it's good, then it's really good. Your opinion alone doesn't count."

"Wait a couple of days and see how it's received, and we'll know if it's good or not..."

As the old lady was speaking, the grandson opposite her suddenly screamed.

"Zhou Hao? So this song was written by Zhou Hao?!"

"I was wondering who is so talented that can perfectly integrate opera into pop songs!"

"My teacher Zhou is awesome!"

Several old guys looked at each other in confusion after listening to this.

Zhou Hao...this guy really has some skills!
