Chapter 766 The Artist
Today, He Xiangdong's lecture was very bold and his words were very sharp. At the beginning, he started to criticize art, saying that art was just to make money. Although he came back a little more, this was scary enough.
Before the words were finished, he began to criticize the crosstalk masters outside the world now, and the words were very powerful, which was almost equivalent to cursing.
What is he going to do?
He Xiangdong shook his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. The depression in his heart was much less. He said, "I know you all have many doubts in your heart, and there are many people who do not agree with my point of view. It doesn't matter, I will explain it to you slowly."
He Xiangdong raised a finger and looked at everyone and said, "First, money, why do I say that the art exhibition requires money? I won't talk about it earlier, just talk about it now, just talk about our Xiangwenshe."
"Xiang Wenshe opened in Beijing in 1996, and it has been exactly ten years since then. In 1996, there was no so-called crosstalk market or folk crosstalk. At that time, the folk art performances and crosstalk performances were all condolence performances, and occasionally there were performances outside, but they were all given away tickets, and no one would buy tickets."
"This is inseparable from historical reasons, so at that time, crosstalk was not profitable, and the salary of actors had to rely on the state. In the inherent concept of the people, they also believed that listening to folk arts and crosstalk was not required to pay."
"You ask them to buy a disc, and you ask them to go to the cinema to watch a movie. They think it costs money, and it is natural to spend money, because they have this market. But crosstalk and folk art are not, so they don't have this market. They have listened to crosstalk for decades and have never spent money. As a result, you have to collect money here. Do you think they are willing to give it?"
"So when the opening of Xiangwenshe, many units, enterprises and trade unions had looked for us, hoping that we would give them some tickets. Many people even called us a joke that we had fallen into the money, saying that the artists of the art troupe didn't charge money for performances, and we actually wanted money?"
"Crossing talk is a fun thing to spend money on. We have to point to this to eat. We are not actors within the system and we don't have the state salary to pay us. So at that time, including until now, there were very few folk art gardens, because they didn't make money."
"We have persisted for ten years. We have not sent out tickets in ten years. We have spent a whole decade creating such a crosstalk market. Now there are twenty folk crosstalk teams in Beijing, seventeen in Tianjin, from north to south, from north to south, the folk crosstalk teams in the past two years have been very fast."
"You know, in the past few years, China's crosstalk market was still shrinking, but now it is thriving. It's only a few years. I believe that in the future, there will be more and more crosstalk teams in China, more and more people will listen to crosstalk, and the crosstalk market will become better and better. Therefore, the marketization and folkization of crosstalk is beneficial to crosstalk, and I don't know why those people are afraid of it as if they hear crosstalk marketization and folkization."
He Xiangdong said the last sentence, and many people in the audience were wondering why they were so afraid of the market? Is they not like the market or they are afraid of the market, and they dare not train themselves in the flames of the market.
After all, the system and the market are different. It is difficult to distinguish between good and bad in the system. It is said that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. There is no evaluation standard for literature and art. No matter how you say it, it is correct.
However, there is a very clear evaluation standard in the market, that is, the audience's preferences and acceptance levels. What the audience likes is the truth, that is, the artistic level is high. If the audience doesn't like it, you will starve to death.
Many people are afraid of this, so they dare not come to the public, nor dare to accept the test of the market and the audience.
After He Xiangdong said this, many people instantly understood what Xiang Wenshe had experienced before. It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this.
After being stunned, the media friends continued to record He Xiangdong's speech.
He Xiangdong continued: "As for crosstalk masters and crosstalk artists, haha, the outside world now uses this word very broadly. Any actor is interviewed and made a program, and the introductions given by others all say that this is a crosstalk performing artist."
He Xiangdong shook his head and said, "I, He Xiangdong, have been in the art for more than 20 years. In the past two years, I have become a little famous. However, many media have asked me to do interviews and have done several TV shows, but no one said I am a crosstalk performing artist?"
"Eh?" He Xiangdong turned his head to look at the reporters beside him and asked, "Do you have any objections to me? Why don't you say I am a crosstalk performing artist?"
The media reporters were stunned and laughed.
Everyone in the audience was laughing.
He Xiangdong smiled and shook his head, and took the initiative to explain: "It's not that they don't want to report like this, but that all those who want to report like this have been suppressed by me. I don't allow others to use such words because I'm not worthy."
"I'm not worthy." He Xiangdong looked at everyone and repeated it again.
He Xiangdong said: "Artists, who can be called artists? Let's take Peking Opera as an example. Not many people listen to Peking Opera now. However, in the old society, including a long time after liberation, Peking Opera was a real mainstream art, such as songs and movies, and these are still the last streams. That was the most glorious era of Peking Opera."
"But such a mainstream Peking Opera, after the liberation, there were only two people named artists, one was our Mr. Mei Lanfang, and the other was Mr. Zhou Xinfang, the Qilin Tong. Even a master like Ma Lianliang ended up with only one famous actor, that's all."
"It can be seen that the three words "artist" are so heavy. Can anyone bear it? Is this a title that anyone can take on? "
Everyone present was a little stunned. They were used to the media frequently seeing the three words "Artist" in the newspaper. When they saw older artists, they would subconsciously think that they were old artists.
They didn't know that the three words "artist" are so heavy.
As for the media friends, they were also a little stunned. They were the most commonly used artists. The reason was very simple. This was to support the guests who were interviewed, and it was also to facilitate the promotion at that time. In addition, the actors themselves were also very happy when they called them this way.
Why don’t they do this kind of thing that both guests and hosts like each other?
But they didn't know that the three words "artist" are so heavy.
