Chapter 615 - 615 National Essence
615 National Essence
Even from afar, Ye Xuan could hear the voice coming from behind the high wall of the modern area. “The people below the stage are walking past. I don’t see the old colors…”
Of course, the popularity of opera songs also made many people, who did not know what opera songs were, to take advantage of the opportunity and raise their voices. To say that this was an opera song when they sang a song was simply an insult. What would those who learned how to sing opera songs think?
Opera was not that simple at all. It was not a technique that could be achieved with a sharp voice. They needed a lot of hard work and very high talent to finally cultivate the opera tone that lingered for three days.
Young people didn’t watch dramas or listen to music because there were too many entertainment projects nowadays. Most of them only watched them for a first impression. If their first impression wasn’t good, they wouldn’t want to understand it.
This was the impetuousness brought about by a fast-paced life. This kind of fast food-type entertainment vision also made many beautiful things, which could only be savored when one calmed down, gradually disappear from people’s eyes.
Operas were like television dramas nowadays. They all acted out the lives of people. The exaggerated and exquisite makeup showed their mood and the beauty of the form.
The singing voice was even more beautiful. No music could replace it. It was a beautiful song that touched the soul. If one calmed down and listened, they would naturally understand the beauty and wonder.
After looking at the sign for a while, the sisters finally chose to go to the traditional opera area to listen to the traditional opera and experience the beauty of the tradition.
Hence, based on their memory, they walked left and right. After a while, they arrived at the entrance of the traditional opera theater in the East Garden, which was formed by a high wall.
This high wall was about three meters tall and looked very tall. The door was a wooden door and was not very big. Only one person could enter at a time.
If not for the high-rise buildings in the air being too eye-catching, one would really think that they had arrived in ancient times. The fragrance of pear blossoms in the garden mixed with the voices shouting, “Good!” It made people dream of the Tang Empire. It was extremely comfortable.
After entering, the s.p.a.ce was very large. It was a kind of courtyard. Then, there was a stage against the wall. On this side, there were many wooden square tables and stools.
There was cement on the ground, and there were many pear trees, peach trees, and osmanthus trees planted everywhere. The entire garden was filled with fragrance.
There were still many seats. The sisters found an empty and quiet place to sit down. As soon as they sat down, the attendant walked up and handed over the menu. She smiled and spoke.
“h.e.l.lo, this is the menu. What do you want?”
The menu was filled with all kinds of tea and drinks, melon seeds, peanuts, popcorn, and other snacks. There were even many fruits. There were even spicy and sour heavenly potatoes.
The sisters took a look and ordered a cup of tea and some snacks. Ye Xuan also asked for a cup of tea. After all, he had to drink tea to enjoy the show and listen to music.
After ordering, Big Sister Ye Wan took out her phone, scanned the QR code, and paid. The attendant took the menu and left. After a while, tea and various snacks were served.
The Pear Garden did not seem to have a ceiling. The courtyard was filled with stars, but there were some retractable machines on the second floor. They looked like sheds specially extended to avoid the rain.
Ye Xuan had also seen this. In order not to destroy this ancient building that had been around for hundreds of years, they did not seal the roof. Instead, they built a shed to block the sun and rain. It was indeed the best way.
However, it was indeed better not to seal the roof. They sat under the stars in the sky and enjoyed the refreshing evening breeze. They could look at the stars and the moon while listening to the opera on the stage. It was indeed enjoyable.
He really felt like he had returned to ancient times.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of comfort. He sat on the stool and drank tea. Listening to that beautiful opera was simply too refreshing. It was really blissful.
At this moment, there were two people with heavy face paint standing on the stage. They were wearing headdresses and red robes. They spoke one after another. Their voices were very high-pitched and sharp, making people feel very comfortable.
There were not many people sitting below the stage. Most of them were old people. Occasionally, there would be some young and middle-aged people, but there were very few of them. There were only a few people who listened to this elegant show.
Ye Xuan also understood that not many people in the country listened to traditional operas. Most operas were liked by the elderly and the young didn’t like them much. The young didn’t understand and couldn’t feel the beauty in them.
However, although not many people were listening, the actors were still singing very hard and attentively on stage. After all, there was a saying that once one opened their mouth, regardless of whether there was anyone below the stage, they had to finish singing.
There were also some allusions. It was not groundless. In those old times, many things could happen. It was not completely a feudal superst.i.tion.
After singing for a while, their voices became much louder. It seemed that they had arrived at the climax of the song.
That voice was mellow and pleasant to the ears, making one feel very comfortable. The people below the stage kept shouting, “Good! Good!”
Although the people on the stage remained calm, they were still very happy.
As performers, the approval of the audience was the greatest reward. The warmth that surged from the bottom of one’s heart could indeed give one a lot of motivation.
The sisters listened to this song. Although they did not understand much, it was indeed very comfortable to admire the opera tone and voice.
After singing for a while, the song ended. The lingering sound lingered in the air, causing the people below the stage to clap and shout at them in admiration.
The sisters were also affected by this atmosphere and praised the lingering sound from the bottom of their hearts. This was especially the case for Fifth Sister Ye Fei, the Heavenly Queen of the music industry. She knew what level this voice was at.
She was also the first person to stand up and shout, “Good!” As a result, the old man beside her could not be the first.
After singing, the two people on the stage, one red-faced and the other green-faced, heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they bowed to everyone and stood on the stage to shout.
“Thank you very much for your support. We have an event here today. Everyone can come on stage to learn opera from us and experience the charm of opera.”
This voice did not sound very old. It should be a young or middle-aged man. He was simply talented to be standing on the stage at this age. Moreover, he sincerely liked opera.
“Then, is anyone willing to come on stage to partic.i.p.ate in the event?”
As the green-faced girl spoke, she looked around. However, most of the people below the stage were old people and some middle-aged people. They were not as lively and active as young people, so after shouting, no one raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to learn.
Seeing this, the two of them were a little embarra.s.sed. However, in order not to make the atmosphere awkward, the red-faced man looked at Ye Xuan’s face and shouted.
“Hey, little kid, come, come on stage. How about learning opera? Seeing that you’ve come to the theater at such a young age, you should still like opera, right?”
