The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 705 Who told you to adapt the opera like this? (Two in one)

"Chinese People Don't Dance Foreign Disco" is a piece of pure music, mainly based on folk music.

This song comes from the music editing of a B station up master, and was later moved to B station's New Year's Eve party.

The situation at the scene was that Sun Wukong was playing the DJ, a group of fairies and heavenly soldiers were dancing, and a symphony orchestra and folk music group were performing together.

That musical performance was a music festival held by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, and the big screen was playing some of the studio’s animation works.

This program later successfully broke through the circle and allowed many people to feel the charm of folk music.

Who says that you can only dance to foreign music?

Xu Ye does not have corresponding animation works, but the few animations he has are enough to support this performance.

He also added some of his own ideas to the design of the entire stage to make the rhythm of the whole show more harmonious.

On the stage, Xu Ye was playing the suona, and the lights around him gradually lit up. Several folk music performers surrounded him.

Everyone has a guqin, a flute, a pipa, a drum, etc.

Everyone's attire was somewhat ancient in style.

The suona piece played by Xu Ye at the beginning also has a famous name, which is "Small Knife Society Overture".

As the sound of suona began, other musical instruments joined in.

Later on, Nezha and Calabash Brothers started DJing, and electronic music was also incorporated.

The atmosphere on the scene immediately changed.

"Wow, I never thought I'd see the combination of electronic music and folk music in my lifetime!"

"Dean, you really know how to make things happen!"

"What kind of weird combination is this?"

The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.

We have watched New Year’s Eve Galas for so many years, but we have never seen one like this.

Moreover, such pure music performances are rare at evening parties in general, at least they have not been seen in large-scale evening parties on TV stations in recent years.

If it were just ordinary pure music, it would really make the audience sleepy and they would have no desire to watch it.

But the stage brought by Xu Ye gave everyone a feeling!
Exciting!
Some viewers have taken this opportunity to share the live broadcast room with their friends’ chat groups.

"Come and watch the New Year's Eve party at Xiaolanzhan. Xu Ye's show is absolutely amazing!"

“I feel like I’m dancing in Hanfu!”

"Isn't this more interesting than watching those popular stars singing?"

"Compared to this show, all the shows on other TV stations are cliché!"

“This is the show we young people should watch!”

In chat groups, on Weibo, and even in the barrage of comments during other TV stations’ New Year’s Eve party live broadcasts, people were talking about Xiaolanzhan’s New Year’s Eve party.

Backstage, Yu Wei saw that the number of people watching the live broadcast on Xiaolanzhan continued to increase.

The previous peak was more than 60 million viewers online at the same time, but now the number of viewers online at the same time has reached 70 million, and is still increasing rapidly. More and more viewers are attracted to Xu Ye's program.

On the stage, folk music and symphony music complement each other.

Even people who don’t understand instrumental music can hear the emotions in the music.

When the music changed again, a female voice chanting was heard.

The sound seemed to come from the quiet mountains, carrying a sense of desolation and wildness.

It’s just that no one could understand the language being sung, luckily subtitles appeared at the same time.

"Ei-Sim dang hlax bō gīeh njiah dāi ei (Mountains and rivers separate us, but our love remains unchanged)~"

“Grax dang hu bō gīeh vōi hrom (Separate paths without dividing the heart)~”

“Moh nin hei moh nin hei moh nin hei (That’s it)~”

“Ndia leing ndia leing seih, ndia leing ndia leing seih (Let’s dance together)~”

Familiar viewers in the live broadcast room immediately recognized what these lines were being sung.

“This is the Wa language!”

The music used here is adapted from the Wa song "Galinsai".

These songs, which originated from ethnic minorities, have their own unique charm.

When electronic music and Wa songs are combined, a different kind of spark is instantly created.

Just when the audience thought that only the music was attractive, the camera switched to the other side of the stage.

A group of female dancers in gauze skirts walked onto the stage. Their sleeves fluttered in the wind, and their hair and clothes were obviously carefully designed.

Her skin is as white as snow, her smile is charming and her eyes are beautiful, just like a fairy.

On the big screen behind, an animated scene of fairies dancing also appeared.

These animation scenes were specially produced by Xu Ye at the Dream Building Studio. They will definitely be used in the future, so it won’t be a waste to make them.

The dancing moves of the fairies on the big screen are almost exactly the same as those of the female dancers on the stage, even the clothes are similar.

To the sound of electronic music, these female dancers twisted their graceful bodies, bringing everyone a fairy disco.

In an instant, the barrage in the live broadcast room completely exploded.

"Mom, I saw fairies dancing!"

"My mouth was open for a long time. Dean, you really did something big this time!"

"Congratulations everyone, you have received a Jade Emperor Experience Card!"

"Brothers, I was wrong. I used to think that the emperor always watched the palace maids dancing and that dancing was for show. I was totally wrong!"

"I am so happy even through the screen, I can't imagine how happy King Zhou must be!"

The audience in the live broadcast room was completely excited.

The audience of Xiaolan Station is mostly young people, regardless of gender, who can refuse to see beautiful women?
The fairies were dancing gracefully on the stage. They were not dancing an old-fashioned dance but a more cheerful one. It felt completely different.

Nezha and Calabash Brothers played DJs, fairies danced, and a symphony orchestra was also performing.

The situation on the stage was chaotic yet orderly.

When the folk music performance ended, the scene switched to the symphony orchestra on the other side.

Wang Liming was also holding a purple gourd in his hand.

Everyone knew at first glance that this was Qiwawa’s gourd.

Later on, even heavenly soldiers and generals in armor came on stage and danced to the music.

The atmosphere on the field became more and more lively.

"Dean, you are awesome!"

“This show is really great!”

"The combination of East and West makes for a great reward! This song is really good!"

"This show should be on the Spring Festival Gala!"

“But this show can’t be on the Spring Festival Gala!”

The comments on the barrage were all praising the show.

When these music sounded, it really gave everyone a shocking feeling.

I have never seen such a program before, and the more I watch it, the more I get addicted.

At this time, the audience discovered that Xu Ye was missing.

Xu Ye just played a piece of suona at the beginning, and then disappeared.

"Where is the dean?"

"I wanted to see the dean dance, why is he gone?"

"Did you notice just now that there are several scenes on the big screen that are not from any current cartoons?"

The show has ended, but the audience is still chatting in the barrage.

"I noticed that there are a few scenes that are not real. I guess they are the animations that Dream Building Studio will make later?"

"Dream Building Studio still has so many good things in its hands?"

"It's obvious that we haven't squeezed them dry yet. Don't think you can rest now that the five-year plan is over. Keep working!"

Because of this program, many people became interested in many subsequent animation works of Dream Building Studio.

Backstage, Yu Wei looked at the live broadcast data, her face flushed with excitement.

In the nearly ten-minute program just now, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room not only did not decline, but continued to grow.

When the show "Chinese People Don't Dance Foreign Disco" ended, the number of people online at the same time reached 8239 million.

This is not the popularity calculated by formula, but the actual number of viewers.

For a New Year's Eve party that has no TV channels and is only broadcast live on its own website, this result is very impressive.

If we really ranked the number of viewers for the online live broadcasts of all TV stations tonight, Xiaolan Station would probably be able to compete with CCTV.

However, this is not the end yet.

You should know that "Chinese People Don't Dance Foreign Disco" is a program planned by Xu Ye, but it is not Xu Ye's program.

Xu Ye’s main job is a singer, and he also has his own singing stage.

I'm just playing the suona on this pure music program, just for fun.

This is not the only program Xu Ye has planned on this stage.

At this time, behind the scenes of the New Year’s Eve Galas of several TV stations across the country, the directors in charge of the New Year’s Eve Galas were a little confused after seeing the hot topics on Weibo.

What is this "Chinese people don't dance to foreign dances"?

When I clicked on it, I found that this was the program that Xu Ye organized at the New Year's Eve party of Xiaolanzhan.

Just this one program directly made it into the top ten hot searches on Weibo.

“Isn’t this too much of a trick?”

"How dare Yu Wei?"

"I don't understand. I don't understand at all. How can such a crappy show attract people?"

Among these directors, some were surprised at the creativity and innovation of the program, while others were surprised that Yu Wei would actually agree to let such a program be performed on the stage of the New Year's Eve Gala.

There are also some directors who believe that such programs are complete garbage and an insult to traditional culture, and they should apologize to the people of the whole country.

Different people have different ideas.

Both Xu Ye and Yu Wei had anticipated this situation when planning the program.

But Xu Ye has never cared about these people's opinions.

He knows who his show is for.

At this time, Xu Ye had already returned to the backstage.

In front of him were four young men.

These young people are all UP hosts of Xiaolanzhan. The track they are on is extremely special, called the intangible cultural heritage track.

The intangible cultural heritage they have mastered is shadow puppetry.

In the new era, shadow puppetry also needs to seek change and innovation.

These up-loaders shared the process of making shadow puppets online, educated netizens about shadow puppetry, and accumulated a number of fans.

But the shadow play they are going to perform today is very special.

Wang Chun is one of the inheritors of shadow puppetry. He still remembers that day when he was at home thinking about how to promote shadow puppetry, the staff of Xiaolan Station called him and asked him to come to Shanghai as soon as possible.

Food, accommodation and travel expenses are all included.

When he arrived, he met Xu Ye in the conference room. Wang Chun was very surprised.

After some communication with Xu Ye, Wang Chun learned that Xu Ye wanted him to perform shadow puppetry at the New Year's Eve party at Xiaolan Station.

Wang Chun was quite excited at first, but when Xu Ye stated his request, Wang Chun wanted to slam the table and quit.

What he said at the time was, "This is an ungratefulness to the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors!"

However, Xu Ye asked him to post a video first to test the waters and see the effect.

After Wang Chun returned, he first made a new shadow puppet according to Xu Ye's request, and then posted a video to test the waters.

Unexpectedly, this video of his has the highest number of views among all his videos.

Shadow puppetry is popular!
Watching everyone's discussion, Wang Chun made a decision that went against his ancestors. He wanted to perform shadow puppetry at the New Year's Eve party as Xu Ye requested.

Xu Ye said to everyone: "Don't be nervous, pack something nice."

Wang Chun and others nodded.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the staff, everyone went on stage with their equipment.

Soon, the host announced the next program.

"Please enjoy the show brought to you by several of our intangible cultural heritage up masters, a selection of shadow play cat and mouse!"

When the host made the announcement, a barrage of question marks appeared in the live broadcast room. Everyone thought they had heard it wrong.

"No buddy, how did shadow puppetry get connected to Tom and Jerry?"

"Wait a minute, did I hear it wrong or did the host make a wrong announcement?"

"What the hell? Was it the dean who did it?"

Sure enough, on the stage, the curtain for the shadow play was ready. The light was shining on the curtain, and Tom's head and a little Jerry were on the curtain.

The song information is also displayed in the lower left corner.

"Excerpt from the shadow play Tom and Jerry - City Bum Rat".

"Director: Xu Ye."

"Lyrics: Xu Ye."

The audience felt relieved when they saw Xu Ye's name.

Such a crazy show must be organized by Xu Ye!

The sound of the erhu rang out, and the feeling of opera came up all of a sudden, it was Peking Opera.

As I said before, some of the programs this time are combined with traditional Chinese opera, and the shadow play is a small attempt.

At first, Wang Chun was not happy when he learned that he was going to use shadow puppets to perform "Tom and Jerry". It was not until he made a shadow puppet of Jerry and the number of views reached hundreds of thousands that he realized that this was really possible!

Then, today's show came about.

On the screen, Jerry and Tom Cat, who was sleeping beside him, appeared.

Jerry put a letter under Tom's paw and waved goodbye to Tom.

This episode is exactly the plot of "City Bum Rat", and netizens of Xiaolan Station are very familiar with the content of this episode.

The lyrics also rang out at this time.

"Jerry left a letter and ran out of the village, Tom couldn't help but laugh~"

"He is like a fisherman in a paradise, and I am like Mr. Wu Liu, happy in my humble room~"

Accompanied by the lyrics, the story of "City Bum Rat" adapted into a shadow play was performed on the big screen.

The audience was stunned.

"Good fellow, you called my grandfather here with your shout!"

"My grandma said the show I just watched was so noisy, this show is pretty good."

"My dad asked me why I suddenly started listening to opera."

"I feel like I need a steak roll with chopped green onion pancake after hearing this."

"That's right, this is what Mr. Buddha listened to back then!"

In the past, when shadow puppetry was performed, not many people were interested, and no one understood the singing parts.

But if you change it to "Tom and Jerry", it's completely different.

Everyone remembers this plot clearly.

"Listen outside the door, there are quick footsteps, the hustle and bustle of the world is coming back~"

"He said that the city was full of people and lights~"

"Thinking of this trip, tears welled up on my cheeks~"

"The four-wheeled vehicle runs fast, and there are no stairs in the tall building~"

The Peking Opera lyrics are still going on, and the one singing it is a UP host on Xiaolanzhan who can sing Peking Opera.

The shadow play shows Jerry leaving the small village and going to the big city, where he experiences the glamorous life of the big city.

The audience couldn't hold it in any longer as they watched.

Peking Opera and "Tom and Jerry" can actually be combined together.

In a certain family's home, a boy was watching the New Year's Eve party on Xiaolanzha with a tablet computer.

As soon as the Peking Opera began, his grandfather, who was sitting next to him watching TV, turned down the volume and listened carefully to what was being sung.

Even though it was the first time he heard it, grandpa still insisted on singing a few lines along.

The boy glanced at his grandfather awkwardly, and was relieved when he saw that his grandfather had no intention of coming over to look at the content on the screen.

If the old man takes a look at the screen, his three views will probably be shattered.

The singing continued.

"A few dancing girls are adorable, and the candlesticks are urging people to go to the balcony~"

"The alley was almost ruined by a wild cat, and the jewelry store was framed as a thief~"

When this part came out, the boy clearly noticed that the grandfather's fists were clenched together nervously.

This is what I listened to.

You know what, if you don’t watch this shadow play, you will find that the singing is really good.

"So he traveled thousands of miles and came back home under the stars~"

"From now on, I will no longer love prosperity, I will just eat from a bowl of rice and drink from a gourd—"

"Victory - Penglai -"

On the big screen, Jerry, who went for a walk in the city and almost lost his life in the city, returned to the village.

It tore up the letter left for Tom and stayed in the village.

The shadow play performance ends here.

The boy laughed out loud.

This is too much!
He was about to post a comment when his grandfather said, "This Jerry is such a good guy!"

The boy couldn't help laughing out loud, and when he saw Grandpa looking at him, he quickly said, "Grandpa, you're right!"

He typed what his grandfather had just said in the barrage.

"My grandfather said that Jerry is a real hero!"

The audience was laughing like crazy, and the comments were overwhelming.

"You can only see this kind of program on the evening show of the little rotten station. You will never see it on other TV stations!"

"It's so amazing! It reminds me of the days when I served the old Buddha in the palace!"

"It fills the gap of Tom and Jerry in Chinese Peking Opera!"

Just when everyone thought the shadow show was over, new program information appeared in the lower left corner.

"Excerpt from the shadow play Tom and Jerry - Tom Meets White Moonlight at Night".

After seeing this part, the audience was stunned.

How come there is more?
As for this episode, it is a classic episode in "Tom and Jerry" and was also the first episode released by Xu Ye at that time. It was called "Romantic Serenade".

Tom came to sing to the female cat Toodogello late at night, but was beaten up by Spike and Jerry.

Soon, the accompaniment sounded, the singing came, and the shadow play began to be performed, but this time it was not Peking Opera, but a ditty called Zhaohuatai.

This ditty has a fixed tune, and the lyrics can be written according to the standard. For example, "Tan Qingshui River" uses the Zhaohuatai tune, so some people also call this tune the Tan Qingshui River tune.

"In the morning, the moon shines on the house."

"Mr. Tang has made a plan to meet Bai Yueguang in private~"

The audience also listened at this time.

Not long after, when the little song was finished, the grandfather of the boy said, "This Mr. Tang is a love-struck man."

The boy couldn't hold it anymore.

He could only pray in his heart that this gentleman would not come to see what was playing on the screen, as it might be a little different from what you imagined.

However, the traditional opera adaptation did not end there. After singing a few more excerpts from "Tom and Jerry", the show came to an end.

Shadow puppetry is over, but the adaptation of traditional opera is not.

Later, a Henan opera adaptation of "Super Star" was performed. Several Henan opera performers dressed in Henan opera costumes sang "Super Star" on the stage, which stunned the audience again.

"I need a word more serious than the collapse of rituals and music!"

"Forget it, at least it's been passed down."

"In the context of the new era, traditional opera has also kept pace with the times and gained new vitality. I can't write any more. Someone, please kill Xu Ye!"

Stupid netizens made all kinds of jokes in the barrage.

There's nothing we can do about it; this opera-adapted show is just too funny.

After this show ended, other shows of the evening began to appear one after another.

Several topics about Xiaolanzhan’s New Year’s Eve party have become hot searches.

This left the directors of other TV stations stunned.

Is the New Year’s Eve party held by a video website really that impressive?
Before, many people didn’t take Xiaolanzha’s New Year’s Eve party seriously, but now it seems that is not the case at all.

A video website can actually host a New Year’s Eve party.

Everyone also understood that Xu Ye must have contributed to this.

The party at Xiaolanzhan was still going on, and an audience member thought of something.

"Did anyone notice that the rabbit didn't appear on the stage?"

"That's true. That rabbit is also an animation from Dream Building Studio. It wasn't there at the concert just now."

"And Dong Yukun hasn't come on stage yet."

"The dean hasn't come yet."

New Year’s Eve parties must last until exactly twelve o’clock at night, and that’s what it means to celebrate the New Year.

It was already past eleven o'clock at this point in the party and was almost coming to an end.

Time went on, and finally, the host said, "There is such an animation on our little crappy website, and its protagonists are a group of rabbits."

"In those years, there was a group of rabbits like this that supported our flower-growing family."

During the host's introduction, the stage lights dimmed and an animation appeared on the big screen.

A rabbit in shackles walked towards the execution ground step by step.

The rabbit's voice was also heard.

"I am going to die for the revolution. Death is not something to be feared, nor is it something to be regretted. But the speed, intensity, and value of the sacrifice actually make me cry with joy from the bottom of my heart at this moment."

The rabbit walked up to the executioner, and the executioner raised his knife and struck.

The scene changed, and young rabbits were fighting bravely on the battlefield and in the city, and background music started to sound.

"China has been weak for a long time, and today it has reached a point where it cannot be recovered. China is despised by other nations and looked down upon by other races. How can China not think of revolution?"

The audience has already understood that the show belonging to "Na Tu" is coming!
"Some of these young people who died were talented, and some came from wealthy families. They were willing to die just because of their faith."

Everyone thought of it, that the group of rabbits that supported the flower-growing family back then were actually a group of young people.

Their age is no different from everyone else's, and many of them are even younger than everyone else.

"Every country has experienced reform without sacrifice. China's reform, bloodshed and sacrifice, begins with our generation!"

In the picture, rabbits are used to represent the martyrs who died.

It also shows the ages when they died. They were all young teenagers!

When those scenes appeared and those voices rang out, everyone's thoughts were pulled back to that humiliating era.

That era seems somewhat turbulent now, but it is precisely because of those people that we today can sigh that it was magnificent!
"My beloved Qionghua, we have run out of ammunition, no more help, and our people have died. The city has been breached, and most of China has fallen into enemy hands. The country is at the brink of life and death. There is no other way except for us to die for it."

"I have pledged my seven-foot body to my country, and I cannot pledge it to you anymore."

"If we don't fight, our country will be destroyed and our race will be exterminated!"

"If we want the race to be immortal, we have to fight to the end!"

As powerful voices rang out, the modern era arrived.

The young rabbits stood in front of the Martyrs' Monument and presented flowers to the people's heroes.

In front of the Martyrs' Monument, a series of illusory rabbit shadows were suspended in the air.

The group of rabbits all had smiles on their faces as they looked at the group of rabbits who were as young as them.

They whispered, "The future of China, please."

Some viewers have already shed tears watching these scenes.

At this time, the lights on the stage came on, and Dong Yukun, wearing a black suit and holding a microphone, stood in the center of the stage.

The song information appears.

The song is titled "Proud Boy".

In the lounge backstage, Ma Lu wiped the tears from his eyes. He said with a sad face: "You all lied to me. Dong Yukun's song doesn't involve the shoulder dance! How can we dance it?"
