Liuqin theater problems

It should be recognized that the Liuqin opera is slowly "out of favor", the troupe is generally faced with the problem of heavy burden, the economic situation is difficult, the wages can not be guaranteed, the loss of talent, the phenomenon of serious breaks; opera creation and the performance of the market is seriously out of touch with the performance of the old and outdated equipment and performance venues. The troupe is also facing the same challenge of survival, Liuqin Opera is facing the dilemma of inheritance and protection. Since the reform and opening up, under the correct leadership of the competent authorities increasingly active, development and growth. But in general, is still in a conservative and closed state, the idea is not emancipated, can not let go of the hands and feet of the officer, cautious behavior. Although the arts resources have great potential, but not a lot to do, the salient issues are mainly the following:

1, backward equipment. As a result of social development, historical changes, the impact of fashion culture, and the original equipment is old, simple devices, has been far from meeting and adapting to the requirements of the modern audience, it is difficult to achieve the best performance effect. The audience of Liuqin opera is mainly in the rural areas, and in the past, a play was performed for several months in a row, and it is not easy to see that a new play can be performed for ten shows. Regardless of urban and rural areas, ticketed performances have become unattainable. Farmers want to see the play and can not see, troupes want to perform and it is difficult to go down, in the past the Liuqin opera in the countryside has a deep mass base, but the difficulties encountered in sending the play to the countryside, often play a place for a change, not only the high cost of performance, wear and tear, but also "based on" the trend of rural audience is also declining, forming a "more performances, more money, more money, more money. "More performances more compensation, less performances less compensation, no performances no compensation," the strange circle. All of these directly lead to the survival of the theater crisis.

2, lack of talent. Due to the current opera recession, the art school of the opera program canceled, and many creative, performers have changed careers, the talent is dying. In addition to the institutional reasons, by the establishment of the limitations, more than a decade of only retreat, not into the talent gap, the phenomenon of a serious shortage of youth. Older artists have died or retired, the living are old, can not perform on stage, many valuable traditional repertoire did not dig, many wonderful singing, singing and performing arts did not fully inherited, on the verge of being lost; with the growing age of the staff, the lack of successors is becoming increasingly serious situation. We lack both well-known, high-profile actors and actresses, but also a lack of writing, directing, sound, beauty and other creative talents, but also a lack of knowledge of the arts, good management of management personnel. Whenever the rehearsal of new plays, it is stretched to the limit.

3, insufficient investment. Insufficient funding is a common problem for most arts organizations. Municipal performing arts organizations, most of the poorly funded institutions, historical debts, heavy baggage, survival difficulties, has affected the benign development of the troupe. Linyi Liuqin Theater Troupe, for example, 70 percent of the annual allocation of wages, more than 100,000 per year, the performance of the income of daily expenses are difficult to maintain, not to mention the rehearsal of new plays, equipment and equipment is difficult to update, poor infrastructure. These have affected the development of the troupe.

4, lack of innovation. Due to certain limitations in the distribution area, Liuqin Opera it is neither like Beijing Opera, opera in the performance of programmed, complete plate system, not like Huangmei Opera, Lv Opera in the continuous reform and innovation in the gradual refinement of the singing characteristics, the plate is not yet perfect, the voice is not rich enough, the lack of a fixed singing mode, is in the stage of fluctuation. Therefore, slowing down the process of reform and innovation of Liuqin opera, restricting the development of the troupe.
