There was a major entertainment event in our county two days ago, which was the CCTV Liyuan Challenge and I was in charge of the Shahe trip. There were many stars joining the show, including CCTV host Zhao Baole, Ma Dehua, who played Zhu Bajie in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", film and television star Tao Huimin, singer Li Danyang... It was an unprecedented event and the streets were packed with people.
Judging from the video posted on the spot, an open-air stage was set up in the square of the cultural center, with neon lights flashing and shining brightly. Plastic stools were lined up densely under the stage, and there was a sea of people and thousands of people moving about. According to some people at the scene, you need to buy a ticket. If you go late, there will be no place to sit even if you have a ticket.
The local media convergence center started building momentum in advance. Ma Dehua plays the role of the naive Zhu Bajie. Visit traditional ancient villages in the western mountains. Wave the flag and cheer for Shahe Cultural Tourism.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that this group of people may have been too hasty when they came, or the local authorities did not prepare sufficient copy for them. Therefore, during the video interview, in addition to Zhao Baole's speech, it was also quite informative, logical and clear. Ma Dehua only has a few pale parallel sentences that are fake and empty. It seems that Ma Dehua is good at playing the naive Zhu Bajie. It is indeed a bit far-fetched to let him be the ambassador of cultural tourism. Fortunately, what the audience saw was not Ma Dehua's eloquent acting skills. They went to see their idol because of their feelings about watching "Journey to the West" when they were children.
Tao Huimin’s eyes were even more erratic when facing the camera. Looking around, he really couldn’t tell what specific feelings he had when he came to Shahe. He said a few words, but the preface and the follower were inconsistent. Finally, he came to He said, "It's been a hard journey." As an actor in film and television dramas, Tao Huimin has played many classic roles, but it may be because of the unfamiliarity of coming to such a strange place for the first time, maybe because of the fatigue and mental fatigue all the way, maybe because of random interviews, live broadcasts, and no prior rehearsals. Get ready. Usually on the screen in front of the camera, Tao Huimin, who is elegant and generous, is a bit reserved and nervous, and answers questions inappropriately.
On the stage, what Tao Huimin showed to the Shahe audience was not her superb acting skills. Wearing a green cheongsam, she sang covers of Teresa Teng's hits "On the Water Side" and "Sweet Honey".
If I only looked at the theme of Liyuan Daguan, I would think that the programs should all be traditional operas, and the performers would be all opera actors. However, traditional drama, which is the essence of Chinese traditional culture, does not have a large audience. The audience comes out in full force to watch the stars. How can we let them sit down without singing and dancing? So when we see some netizens commenting that Liyuan Run is not worthy of its name, we should not criticize the organizers harshly. Promote cultural tourism in the local area and attract a small county audience. If you want to create a certain sensation, it is not enough to simply sing traditional operas. Operas can be an embellishment, but they are probably boring when they become the main course.
Don’t criticize those film and television actors for not doing their jobs and relying on singing to attract audiences. In just a few minutes, they acted out the most explosive clips from their film and television clips, and no one would seriously sit down and watch it patiently. In a small place like the county seat, people watch actors on stage mainly for fame and excitement. The level of artistic quality and whether the singing skills are online are matters for expert judges. What's more, such a sensational show is broadcast on a platform as big as CCTV. The popularity has increased, and the purpose of publicity has been achieved. What more can I ask for.
