Chapter 240 Discussion on Traditional Art

On this topic, there are endless debates in the post bar... It can be said that there are many who support Zhang Yu and few who oppose Zhang Yu. s but support, can't say why, just like to listen. However, they are not very interested in arguing about this kind of thing, just one-sided support.

On the other hand, the opposing party is always on the line, and moves the banner of morality at every turn. If you don’t agree, you are betraying your ancestors, and you are a traitor and a traitor.

Some sensitive netizens brought the topic to Zhang Yu's Weibo and left a message asking Zhang Yu to respond positively.

Zhang Yu just happened to see it when he was on Weibo in the evening, so he went to the post bar of the Spring Festival Gala. After reading it, he left a message and made his own response. The content of the post is roughly as follows...

For many friends, this traditional art is old-fashioned, should it be changed? Whether the traditional purity should still be maintained has generated a lot of controversy. For this, octopus is how I see it.

The development history of world music and the development history of human society are actually the same in the eyes of octopus. With the passage of time, the historical development of the Grand Convergence is a fact that cannot be changed by any individual.

Could it be that foreigners have invented automobiles, and Chinese people are not allowed to produce or ride? Can we agree? Of course not! We not only want to produce our own cars, but also produce our favorite cars, which are more in line with the Chinese culture, so that our country's cars will also become a member of the world's car family, and it is a very competitive member.

In fact, this perspective can explain it all!

Art forms that already exist in the world with objective facts and are more in line with the trend of mainstream thinking are unlikely to disappear because of certain opinions, because they do not meet the needs of the laws of market development. At the same time, the non-mainstream niche art forms cannot deny the mainstream art forms that occupy a monopoly position in the market because of the problem of market positioning.

Like the collective protest of the coachmen, can the car be prevented from being introduced to the market?

Can shadow puppet singers stop movie theaters from opening by striking?

The postman who sent the letter became the courier who delivered the letter? What happened in the middle?

Traditional music, as non-mainstream music, is now facing a left or right choice if it wants to continue to survive in the market?

Or, you will continue to close the country, from non-mainstream art to rare art, or even to the art of the museum. Or, you have to try to integrate with mainstream art, and at the same time maintain your own characteristics, to form a new pop art with national characteristics.

In the eyes of octopuses,

This is the future development path of non-mainstream art.

There may be many friends who think there is something wrong with the statement of octopus. If traditional art forms merge into new art forms, is it still traditional art? Wouldn't that be the same as disappearing completely?

What is tradition actually? We have to reflect on this issue.

The current traditional art was also formed through the automatic integration of the market in the past, and it is maintained to the present.

I take Beijing opera as an example! At the beginning of the appearance of Peking Opera, was its self-positioning a traditional art? The emergence of Peking Opera has gradually come to the present after a long period of development and integration.

So, what is the current Peking Opera tradition? Or the original Peking Opera tradition? What is tradition?

As the quintessence of the country, Peking Opera, to be honest, is very high in the eyes of octopus. It can be said that as a Chinese, Octopus also pays respect to this art form, and I also hope that Peking Opera can be handed down to thousands of generations. But if one day, the country asks us to turn watching this "national essence" into a political task. Every citizen is required to watch Peking Opera at least once a year, and at the same time, write down their thoughts, and even take this condition as a moral criterion and moral standard for measuring a citizen.

Excuse me, at this time, how do you want to look at our "national quintessence"?

In the eyes of octopus, "tradition" and "national treasure" are not a form of art to avoid death! If an art form can only be used to pass the time by "giving out" a program time period during the Spring Festival Gala every year, to let the people know that the art of living fossils still exists in our country, isn't this the tragedy of an art form!

So an art form that wants to survive. It is necessary to abandon the opinion of the family, re-explore one's own potential, open the door wide, and continue to innovate. Only by allowing the mainstream consumer market to accept itself again! And it is not the old self, but a brand new one with self-worth, a new self.

If you still have an objection, then the octopus asks you... Is Bollywood music wrapped in electronic music, traditional Indian music? Are all the electronic musical instruments used for accompaniment invented by Indians? Obviously these Indian music blends very obvious rhythms such as rumba, cha-cha, waltz, tango, samba, and s, but we intuitively think that they are authentic Indian music? Did the traditional art form of ancient India come from Europe? South America? North America?

Perhaps speaking of this, many fans of traditional art feel at a loss, feel helpless, and feel that they do not know what to do. So I can try to suggest...Are you going to add an electro-acoustic band to Peking Opera? What about the orchestra? Are you planning to create a Peking Opera aria with electronic accompaniment as the background? What about modern new Peking Opera that incorporates more international pop music forms?

Do you plan to re-create a big Peking Opera movie, remove the paint from that face, add more dialogue to the wonderful modern urban love story, and then sing our new Peking Opera?

Can I say, are you ready to refresh our national quintessence?

If you're ready for all this, let's work together! If you are not ready, the director team of the annual Spring Festival Gala will still "give out" a time period to our national quintessence. I believe it is a good time to cook dumplings.

Zhang Yu's words seemed to explode in the post bar, causing a violent reaction across the country...

...

The next day, early in the morning, the phone rang early to wake Zhang Yu, who was still in his dream.

"Hey!"

"Zhang Yu, why are you still sleeping! I'm Tang Yuxin."

"Sister Yuxin! What's the matter?"

"Of course it's New Year's greetings to you! Happy New Year!"

"happy New Year!"

"Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala last night?"

"Can you not watch it? There is only one channel in the whole country. If you want to watch it, there is no other channel to watch!"

"How do I sing?"

"Pretty good!"

"Oh! It's a good level for you!"

"Oh...then I'll change it! You sing so well, how can you sing so well, quickly sign a name for me and express it, so that I can take it out with prestige and prestige when school starts." To be continued.
