Chapter 249
[416 literary girl group "Exploring the Window" is online! # Girls born in the 2000s who went to the theater sang pop songs with a Peking Opera accent! 】
At eight o'clock sharp, the short video of "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 immediately.
The beginning of the video.
Dong Chen, dressed in a costume, stood on the stage of the drama and sang while holding his breath.
The scene was shown to the audience. The audience in the front row were holding bricks and rotten eggs, shaking them in their hands, ready to throw them on the stage.
Although netizens guessed that it was a foil shooting technique, they laughed out loud when they saw such a funny scene.
"It was not easy for opera workers in ancient times. This one's house is full of tiles, hahaha!"
"Isn't this Dong Chen who has made a leap in miracles? He has quite a talent for acting!"
The camera returned to the stage. Dong Chen left the stage in embarrassment after being greeted by rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. Audiences in the theater gradually left their seats, 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 to show off, and then spoke.
"She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land"
"One step and one sentence is lovesickness"
The crisp voice, as sweet as a lark, made the netizens in front of the screen shine, and countless netizens pressed the volume + button in tacit understanding.
In the video, the audience who were halfway out of the venue stopped and looked back, with surprise in their eyes.
"The people in the audience are on the gold list."
"I never recognized my old acquaintance on stage"
The members of the 416 literary girl group sang in succession, with the graceful singing of Mei School, the melodious singing of Cheng School, the soft and sweet singing of Hua Dan, and the high pitch and calmness of Lao Dan.
The charming voice echoed in the theater, and all the audience who left the venue returned to their seats.
"He was talking about the wedding ceremony"
"Everyone congratulates a beautiful woman for a talented man"
"I haven't heard a single sigh that there is love and obsession in the play"
In the video, while the audience in the front row applauded, all the bricks and rotten eggs in their hands were replaced by gold necklaces and wallets.
Such a contrasting scene made the netizens outside the screen laugh again. Almost all of them liked the video, and the number of likes increased by thousands every second.
"Love in the play, love in the play"
"Strangers meet in a beautiful place"
"She sang..."
At the climax of the song, the girls from the 416 literary girl group sang in chorus, and their graceful and ethereal voices mesmerized the audience in front of the screen.
After watching the entire video, over 90% of netizens chose to listen to it again and left favorable comments in the video comment area.
“The five young ladies sang so beautifully because you know more about the opera’s tunes!”
"This is what the quintessence of Chinese culture should look like. It's so beautiful, I'm drunk! Suddenly I understand how my ancestors could have lived without mobile phones!"
"This was the most annoying thing before. Why do I like this tune now? Am I reaching that age too?"
"It's very good, I like it very much. At least it makes me understand more or less why Peking Opera was so popular in the past. It can be regarded as opening a little door of ancient Peking Opera."
In just ten minutes after the video was posted, it had more than 200,000 likes and more than 50,000 comments. While netizens forwarded and shared it with each other, officials also began to promote this popular video.
…
Peking Opera Academy.
Female dormitory 416.
"I'm so nervous. Will all 80,000 fans be lost..."
"Will they scold us for ruining Peking Opera?"
Half an hour after the video was released, the five girls from the 416 literary girl group were on pins and needles. After struggling for a long time, they still had the courage to click on the video account.
"ah!!!"
Captain Bian Tingting rubbed her eyes and exclaimed, "80,000 fans have turned into 200,000, my God!"
"It's true! The video has 300,000 likes!"
The data was unexpected, like a dream, and the five girls couldn't wait to open the video comment area.
[The thief likes this young lady who sings Lao Dan. She feels like she has gone through a thousand sailings, as if she is recalling the past when she is old. 】
Bian Tingting chuckled. It was embarrassing to make such comments specifically to praise herself.
"More!"
She gave a backhand thumbs up.
[Professional matters should be left to professionals. This is called drama! 】
[Catch all five of these for me and sing them all night long, it’s so nice! 】
The positive comments one after another made the five girls excited and admired Lin Zhixing's star-making ability.
…
The next morning.
Good Luck Studio.
After Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen came to the company, they immediately checked the video playback status of "Exploring the Window", and the data exceeded their expectations by a third.
The number of likes has reached a terrifying 1 million, and the number of views has exceeded 30 million. The original sound of the video has been used in many Chinese-style videos, and Internet celebrities and netizens have also begun to post videos singing this song.
It is no exaggeration to say that the song "Exploring the Window" set off a national style trend in short videos overnight.
They didn't pay too much attention to the good reviews, but the expected doubts did appear.
There are still obvious differences between the opera songs they sing and the traditional folk arts. As a result, some bad comments appeared, and the names of "tampering with Peking Opera" and "destroying Chinese quintessence" were slapped on the heads of the five girls.
"Brother Lin, I want to fight these black men!"
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? Since 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 crazy national trend is so exaggerated that as long as a video is tagged with # opera # 416 Literary Girl Group # national style, 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 please 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 put them on quickly, "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, 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 so irritated that I 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 China Television 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 into laughter, "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 really great and his voice was really 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 ago."
"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."
