About Yueju Opera 1

Recently, I wanted to write a few short articles about Yueju Opera. For many years, it has been hidden in the bottom of my heart, and I have never talked about it positively, and there is no one to talk about it in my life. As a typical southern opera, it is difficult for a northerner to find an organization. In today's society, where the opera industry is in the doldrums, there is no basic popularization of it among young people, and the term may be unheard of by the post-00s. If I do not record some of my love affair with Yueju Opera, it seems to be really sorry that I have been "thinking about it day and night, searching for it in my dreams" for many years.

In fact, it is not difficult to find an organization, as early as the beginning of the 21st century, with the prevalence of the Internet, online forums, posting bars, as well as WeChat's various groups, there are a lot of fans of Yueju Opera. However, I am not a professional theater fan, and so far, I have never watched a full-length stage production of Yueju Opera live. I've never invested money in it, and technically, I'm not even a newcomer. I know very little about the specialized knowledge of Yueju Opera, I can't even figure out the genres, and I haven't done detailed homework on the representatives of each genre.

A flash from the pit has been more than 20 years, 20 years is enough to make the red face into gray hair, enough to make the peak of the face of the corner into a mediocre middle-aged greasy man (woman), but also enough time to the fledgling brats into the middle of the middle generation of the backbone of the force.

? So what I can record is just personal likes and dislikes, nothing to do with the type of play, nothing to do with the genre, nothing to do with the singing voice, limited to a certain kind of fan behavior. It's just for the layman to see, and not for any reference value.

The singing voice of Yueju Opera, with the rise of the post-00s, from the early simplicity, the development of today's styles. When the 00 became a fan of the moment, it means that the theme of Yueju Opera should be changed accordingly. Compared to Beijing Opera and Kunqu Opera, Yueju Opera has always been at the forefront of fashion. As early as the beginning of the 21st century, Zhao Zhigang, the prince of Yueju Opera, released his play "First Close Encounter". With such a title, compared to traditional Yueju operas, it is more or less suspected to be a thunder opera. As an unabashed title-party, I was already dissuaded by the title of the play. In my mind, the suitable subject matter of Yueju Opera is limited to the love story of the talented and beautiful, I can not accept too trendy things, perhaps I am a diehard.

? Years later, Yueju once again rubbed the same name of the TV series, launched one of the few Qing dynasty drama "Step by Step? ", and then later "Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan? The dynasty of "Legend of Zhen Huan" did not follow the background of the TV series, but followed the original story more. Transplantation of outstanding plays from other genres is a long-standing tradition of Yueju Opera, such as "The Golden Bough", "Guiying hangs up the marshalship", "Chunxiang biography", "female extra horse harnessed by the side of the emperor's side", "Yutang Chun" and so on, and there are more successful adaptations of the play.

As a fan of Yueju Opera, more than a decade did not pay attention to the circle of Yueju Opera, I feel that I have missed too much excitement, Yueju Opera is able to in the whole opera industry in the state of going downhill, and continue to innovate, keep up with the pulse of the times, it is rare and precious. I hope that tomorrow's Yueju Opera will be full of flowers and spring colors.
