Yang Chenglin's invitation was official, but more like a private banquet. Yang Chenglin also called his wife, while Zhou Kunlin had other things to do and declined. Yang Chenglin¡¯s wife, Zhou Yun, is a national first-class dancer. Of course, she doesn¡¯t perform on stage much anymore. She is currently a teacher at Pujiang Conservatory of Music, a professor, and a special member of the city¡¯s song and dance troupe. She occasionally makes guest appearances. "The country has always emphasized the construction of spiritual civilization and requires that both hands must be strong. However, now everyone is focusing more on the economy and less on the construction of spiritual civilization. The performance market is getting more and more sluggish, especially for people like you. There are very few young people who are willing to walk into the theater and sit down to watch a performance quietly!" Zhou Yun said with a smile while eating. Except at the beginning when Yang Chenglin expressed his welcome to Fangxia Group¡¯s investment in Pujiang City and expressed his attitude, everyone stopped talking about work matters. Yang Chenglin also knew very well that with Bao Feiyang in Pujiang, Fang Xia Group's investment in Pujiang City was indispensable. There was no need for him to intervene and talk to Meng Shuang about investment. Even if they talked, it might not be useful. If they really wanted to talk, It's better to talk to Bao Feiyang directly. Meng Shuang glanced at Bao Feiyang, nodded and said: "What Aunt Jun said is that Feiyang and I don't spend much time together. This time I came to Pujiang and tried to go out with him several times, but he didn't. "Time!" "Feiyang, I'm going to criticize you for this. Work is important, and the people's affairs must be taken into consideration, but you can't ignore your family. In the past, it was okay if you couldn't leave when Meng Shuang was away. Now Meng Shuang is here. Pu Jiang, no matter what, you have to make time to spend more time with her, and trust our other cadres more about work! You can't even spare time to watch a performance. Comrade Gen Zheng will criticize me for the work pressure I put on you. It¡¯s too big!¡± Yang Chenglin said with a smile. Bao Feiyang waved his hand quickly and said: "It's not just me who is busy, she is also busy during this period. This is not because Fang Xia Group is going to do something big in Pujiang City. Meng Shuang is responsible for the initial things, and things are indeed There are more. Now that Pujiang's team is almost in place, the company has also hired a general manager from 3M, and she has gradually withdrawn from specific affairs. However, this general manager has only been in office for less than three days. The time is not free yet! When she is free, there is still time to watch a show with her! " Bao Feiyang turned to Zhou Yun and said: "I have only seen Aunt Yun's performance on TV. That's absolutely true! It is a work that represents the image of national style. It is a pity that it is rare to have the opportunity to see Aunt Jun's performance in person. However, the level of the Pujiang Song and Dance Troupe is also at the national level. If we have the opportunity, we will definitely accept the influence. " Zhou Yun smiled. He shook his head, then reached out and took out two tickets from his handbag: "I was about to ask you to come and support me. During the Chinese and Japanese Cultural Week next week, the city song and dance troupe will have a performance. I will probably make a guest appearance. If there is one by then, You are welcome to come if you are free. It doesn't matter if you have something to do, but these two tickets cannot be wasted. When the front row is empty, you Auntie Yun will be very embarrassed!" Zhou Yun doesn't look like the mayor's wife at all! She is arrogant and reserved, has a soft voice and an elegant temperament. In Meng Shuang's words, it is the image of a woman's dream when she is fifty years old. Generally speaking, after a woman reaches forty, she will look older than a man, but this cannot be seen at all in Zhou Yun. She looks like a lady who is still in her 30s or 40s with charm. , on the contrary, Yang Chenglin has been in a high position for a long time, is not angry and has no authority, and looks like a senior official leader in his fifties! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Aunt Jun, we will definitely go when the time comes, as long as the mayor doesn¡¯t talk to me at that time¡± Bao Feiyang said with a smile. Zhou Yun glanced at Yang Chenglin: "How dare he?" Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and then talked about the current situation of the theatrical performance market. The country has been implementing reform and opening up for 20 years. Domestic reforms are constantly advancing in depth and in different fields, and the literary and art troupes are no exception. Before the reform and opening up, the entire country of China could be said to be a large unit. The country was the head office, and the governments below were the branches, and there were various branches under the government. For example, local song and dance troupes and theater troupes are all units under the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and various performances are also planned. The performances also consider political requirements, not market requirements. After the reform and opening up, with the deepening of reform and the transformation of the national system, changes and transformations are taking place in all fields, and the field of literature and art is of course no exception. On the one hand, after the reform and opening up, economic construction has become the center, everyone is busy making money, and work pressure is greater than before. Coupled with the rise of various cultural forms, especially the development of television and film industries, people's choice of cultural life has increased, causing stage art to fall into the predicament of a weak market, with fewer and fewer audiences in the audience. On the other hand, with the abolition of the planning system,The government has also begun the reform of literary and art troupes, which is generally similar to the reform of state-owned enterprises, but the pace is slightly slower. The core of the reform of literary and art troupes is also the decentralization of power. From the collective management to be responsible for its own profits and losses, to the reform of the contract system, according to different literary and artistic forms and the characteristics of the troupes, the management model has gradually adopted the paid contract system, the music director system, the director-centered system, and the celebrity manager system. system, full employment system, etc. It¡¯s just that after the reform, although the development of literary and art troupes was more dynamic than in the early stage of reform and opening up, and they struggled to survive the difficulties in the transition period, the performance market was far from prosperous, and could even be said to be deserted. Except for some famous actors and special types of performances that can have considerable attendance, many newcomers do not get the opportunity to perform at all, and the number of performances is also very limited. The theater troupe still cannot be self-financed and still needs government support and blood transfusions. "The stage performing arts in the market economic environment in the new era need to change not only the management model, but also our concept of this art" Bao Feiyang said: "In the past, our concept was that art should serve the masses. It is necessary for the general public to enjoy the best artistic performances, but in fact this is impossible. How many people can appreciate opera and ballet? ""In fact, compared with the past, whether it is artistic creation or ballet? In terms of cultural performances, they are now more active than before, with more performances and more audiences. The reason why Aunt Jun feels that the current market is not good and that the theater and troupes have difficulties in operating, the key is that the environment is different. In the past, there was no need to consider ticket revenue. Now we must consider that there were relatively few types of cultural consumption in the past, and everyone's situation was similar, but it is different now. Not to mention that television has entered millions of households, TV series and TV programs have become more and more influential, and the movie market is also bigger. Every year, there are several popular films that are spread by word of mouth, popular folk song and dance performances, concerts of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and even sports league competitions are all very popular. In comparison, literary and artistic stage performances are much deserted. ¡± Bao Feiyang said: ¡°This is also determined by the characteristics of stage performing arts. Unlike TV and movies, stage performances can be exposed to the national audience through images. Sports leagues also have live TV broadcasts, and stars in concerts are all through Television and radio have become a household name, but stage performances can only face the audience below the stage. Even if every performance is full, how many people can there be? " "The characteristics of modern society are globalization and the explosion of information. , people accept all kinds of information from all over the world, and many things will be drowned in the ocean of information. Human energy and attention are limited when people accept the impact of so much information. , he will ignore a lot of things, and the things he ignores are often those around him, because people follow the herd, so they like to pay attention to things that more people know and are more topical, so in this regard, stage performances There is no way to compare art with television and movies. The media will pay more attention to and promote things that can be paid attention to and discussed by more people. This is also a characteristic of this society. "Bao Feiyang said: "I think the city repertory troupe. Some of the practices are quite good. They allow some of the actors in the troupe to participate in TV series and be guests and hosts on TV stations. When they become famous, they can perform on stage and the audience will be even bigger! Talking about the current situation of stage performance art, Zhou Jun, a professor at the Conservatory of Music, seems to be working on this topic. He wants to know what young people like Bao Feiyang and Meng Shuang think about stage performance. Bao Feiyang didn¡¯t say much. A few words. Zhou Jun was very interested in what Bao Feiyang said: "I also know a little bit about the situation of the city repertory troupe. They have indeed produced several star-level figures, but among the few people who have really become famous, only two of them have become famous. The relationship between them is still in the drama troupe, and everyone else has changed jobs and left!" Zhou Yun shook his head and said: "Even among the two who stayed, one became a host and the other starred in a sitcom on the TV station. We are very busy, so we can only perform on stage a few times, and the impact on the performance market of the dialogue troupe is also very small." Bao Feiyang nodded: "This is normal. After all, in terms of income, stage actors and film and television stars still don't have much. The method is comparable. But you may sow but you will not reap. The drama troupe¡¯s attempt has just begun, and it has not yet harvested. In the future, more people will leave the drama theater. Even if these stars come back to guest perform three or five times a year, With a large number of people, the troupe can also create several star performances" In Bao Feiyang's impression, theatrical performances will naturally not be as popular as film and television dramas in the future, but the performance market in first- and second-tier cities is definitely not very popular. It's deserted, but the layers are very clear.
