Ordinary Road 2010

As for the parties involved, they can only hope that they are really good enough to turn the tide by themselves.

Chapter 496 Gu Caiwei's Adventures

When Lin Yi continued to slam dunk in the capital, Gu Caiwei had already finished her vacation in Yuezhou and returned to the girls' team dormitory in Shencheng.

Peng Yuchen did not arrange for Gu Caiwei to resume activities immediately, not because she had any trouble with money, but because the previous media speculation was more ruthless, many people said that Gu Caiwei was already depressed, so she had to rest for a while.

On the other hand, she actually still has some small ideas. Although Gu Caiwei's popularity was already very strong before the scandal, but limited by her qualifications and the acceptance of new things like girl groups, she is actually not high in the circle.

Peng Yuchen hopes to take advantage of Gu Caiwei's comeback to make good use of it. On the one hand, it will enhance the cohesion of fans, and on the other hand, it will raise her social status.

For the time being, she still thinks of a suitable opportunity, but the fact that Gu Caiwei returned to Shencheng from Yuezhou has been "accidentally discovered" by fans, and there is a burst of joy inside.

Peng Yuchen is still very good at operations. She knows that idols can't disappear in front of fans for too long, so the preheating is well done.

As for the period of temporary dormancy, Gu Caiwei was not idle either.

Ms. Gu Changge reminded her to remember to visit her titular master, Mr. Yueguan, who is a master of Yue opera, after she arrived in Shanghai, because the old lady cared about her when she was in trouble.

After Gu Caiwei came to visit, Teacher Yueguan suggested that since she happened to have time, she might as well arrange for her to learn Yue opera formally, and said very intimately:

"A few days can be counted as a few days."

In this way, Gu Caiwei started a short academic career under the guidance of Teacher Yueguan, commuting between the dormitory and Shanghai Yue Theater every day.

Gu Caiwei had a little foundation when she was young, but unfortunately she gave up halfway, but now she picks it up again and feels excited.

She had only lived like this for about a week, and she came to Shencheng Yue Theater again on this day, but was strictly interrogated when she entered the door, and she felt puzzled in her heart, so she brought it up during the interval of learning art.

Teacher Yueguan told her: "It is said in the courtyard that some big leaders will come to visit today, so the security work will be stricter, but for the sake of confidentiality, they will not be notified in advance who will come."

Although Shanghai is not the birthplace of Yue opera, it is known as the birthplace. In other words, this local opera began to shine in this oriental metropolis. Shencheng Yue Opera has always been a very important unit.

With Teacher Yueguan's seniority, he has long since ceased to work in the Yue Theater, and was only occasionally invited to give advice to young people.

Therefore, she was not specifically notified of any important receptions in the courtyard. Of course, Teacher Yueguan would not care too much. The important performances she has participated in are countless.

The reason why they master and apprentice practice here is that Teacher Yueguan likes the Yue opera atmosphere here, so it is easy for her to ask for one or two practice rooms.

During the training break, Gu Caiwei asked curiously: "Master, have you performed for many big leaders before?"

Teacher Yueguan replied indifferently: "No matter how big a leader is, he has two eyes and one mouth. It's nothing unusual. As long as you sing well, there will be many opportunities like this in the future."

"However, when performing on stage, it doesn't matter who you show them to. The most important thing is how much effort you have."

This answer is in line with Teacher Yueguan's demeanor, but Gu Caiwei is a little embarrassed, because her name is not worthy of her name as a closed disciple of the Yue Opera master.

"I'm sorry Master, even if I can't come here in the future, I will practice hard by myself, so as not to embarrass you."

Unexpectedly, Teacher Yueguan shook his head and said, "Xiaowei, it's too late for you to go back and learn Yue opera at this age, so when I teach you, I don't start from the basic skills like a young apprentice who just apprenticed."

"As long as you can put on the posture of Yue opera, so that laymen can't see any flaws, and can play a role in promoting Yue opera, and make some young people interested in it, I will be satisfied."

Speaking of this, she felt a little emotional: "It's not that I am too utilitarian in life, but we have indeed tried many methods, but none of them are satisfactory."

"Maybe Yueju opera is out of date, like big swords and spears. What young people like now is the kind of western and fashionable music, art, and culture, like foreign guns and cannons."

"But no matter what, Yue opera, including other traditional operas, has been passed down for so many years, and we have to try to keep it rooted anyway."

Teacher Yueguan's words were a little helpless. She must have put in a lot of hard work over the years before she finally made such a bad move.

"No, young people actually like traditional culture."

Gu Caiwei said: "Let’s take myself as an example. I have been very interested in Shaoxing opera since I was a child, but this profession requires a long training period, and a certain level of cultivation in Yueju opera is the threshold for appreciation."

"Young people usually think that traditional culture is very mysterious. We are very curious, but we don't know how to open the door, and we can't get in."

"I think the so-called inheritance should not copy it and reproduce it as it is, so we have to use modern and popular art forms to revitalize it."

"The vitality of culture is not static, just like the popular Marvel movies were just comics at first, and can be presented in other forms when the technical level is reached."

"We have a history of 5000 years of civilization. I believe that even in a new era, new seeds will be born in a new environment and reappear with a new look, unchanged core and temperament."

"We believe that the culture of this nation will definitely glow with new vitality, and it is in our hands. This is called cultural confidence."

This obviously went beyond the scope of Yue Opera, Teacher Yue Guan didn't find it abrupt, but it didn't sound like Gu Caiwei's usual tone.

In fact, she was right in guessing, Gu Caiwei suddenly thought of what Lin Yi said when talking about apprenticeship, and subconsciously blurted it out.

"well said!"

What the two masters and apprentices didn't expect was that there was a middle-aged lady with an extraordinary appearance standing at the door at this time, and they didn't know why she appeared there.

There was a large group of figures outside the door, and the leaders of the Yue Theater that Gu Caiwei had known before seemed to be among them, standing behind her in a measured manner.

"Teacher Yueguan, long time no see."

It turned out to be an old acquaintance of the master. Gu Caiwei was still very surprised when she saw her. Even if she didn't care about the news, as long as she didn't just come from the primitive society, she would know this female singer.

She exchanged a few words with Teacher Yueguan, then turned to Gu Caiwei and asked, "Little girl, I think what you just said is very insightful, did you think it yourself?"

Gu Caiwei wanted to say that she actually heard it from Lin Yi, but did she start talking about her hidden relationship with Lin Yi in front of this lady?

In the end, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I thought of it by accident."

As this lady, I will not chat with a little girl for too long. I just told Teacher Yueguan that I came to visit today and heard that she is here, so I stopped by to see her.

Because this is an arrangement outside of today's itinerary, they didn't talk much. The lady left quickly, but turned around and commented on Gu Caiwei before leaving:

"You're fine."

Gu Caiwei still didn't quite understand what this meant to her, so she asked about her master after the large group of people came and went in a hurry:

"Did Ms. Peng praise me just now?"

Teacher Yueguan looked at himself as a closed disciple, but didn't answer this question. He seemed to remember that they had rested for a while, so he got up and said:

"Practice."

Chapter 497 Knowing what is precious

Gu Caiwei didn't tell anyone about the encounter that day, because Teacher Yueguan told her not to tell anyone.

But her vacation was over soon.

Peng Yuchen originally thought about holding a concert for GIVE ME FIVE. With their current popularity, they should be able to sell tickets.

But the songs they have released since their debut are not enough for a concert. If they sing other people's songs, they will lose their status.

It seems that this year's album should add a few more songs.

When she was thinking about these things, a turning point appeared. China Television sent an invitation for cooperation. It was said that Gu Caiwei was going to be invited to participate in another blockbuster program.

Peng Yuchen was surprised because she didn't manage the relationship with China Television, and this time Ms. Gu Changge didn't get involved.

The only reasonable explanation is that I was particularly satisfied with the visuals in the program I cooperated with Mr. Yueguan last time, so I thought of Gu Caiwei again, because this time it is a cultural inheritance program.

China Television's programs have always been paid below the market price or even paid for nothing, but the artists in the circle are still rushing to the top.

What's more, the program produced last time was very effective. In addition to Gu Caiwei's worship under Teacher Yueguan, she also made a lot of circles by relying on the ancient style effect, so she will not refuse this time anyway.

After Peng Yuchen brought Gu Caiwei into the group, he verified his conjecture, because the members of the program group were almost the same as last time, and they were all acquaintances.

But soon she had new doubts, because a media called "Youth Daily" contacted her and wanted to interview Gu Caiwei.

It's very common for the media to interview Gu Caiwei, but it seems that this kind of media doesn't report entertainment gossip, right?

After reading the interview outline sent by the other party, it seems that it is related to the two programs of China TV. Peng Yuchen can only attribute it to the promotional measures arranged by the station.

In short, she soon met the other party's interview team, headed by a female reporter named Wang Ke.

"Gu Caiwei, right? Can I call you Caiwei? Although your fans seem to call you Vivienne, you usually appear by your real name here."

"of course can."

"That's good Caiwei, we all watched your show on China Television last year. According to online reports, did you learn Shaoxing opera since you were a child? What made you interested in this?"

"It should be my mother, because she studied opera when she was young, so she taught me at home, but I didn't learn well."

When Gu Caiwei said this, she smiled embarrassedly: "So then I changed to other things, especially vocal music, and because of this, I became a trainee, and later I debuted as an artist."

"Until I met it again in the program of China Television, the feeling I had when I was a child came back to me, and I thought it was very elegant and charming."

The female reporter continued to ask: "So that's why you chose to join Teacher Yueguan's school? Can you tell me this story?"

Naturally, Gu Caiwei's tacit understanding with Teacher Yueguan would not be told to the media, and they also had something to say to the outside world.

"Yes, because Teacher Yueguan is very kind, like a kind elder, and I happen to be from Yuezhou, so I feel very kind."

"When I was recording the show, I was taken care of by Teacher Yueguan, and when it was over, I dared to ask if I could learn from her in the future."

"In fact, everyone was very surprised at that time, because Teacher Yueguan has not accepted apprentices for many years. Such a request is very abrupt, and I also feel that I am a bit reckless."

"But Teacher Yueguan was not angry, and actually agreed to it. She held the mentality that there is no one to teach, and she didn't care about my lack of solid foundation. She said that anyone can learn as long as she has a passion for it."

"This is of course a great encouragement to me, so before I came to Beijing to participate in the recording of the program, I have been studying with Teacher Yueguan."

Wang Ke didn't bother about the authenticity of this story, and asked again: "This time, China TV has chosen you to participate in the recording of this program. What is your different experience?"

"It's very different."

Gu Caiwei said, "Because of Shaoxing opera, although I have limited ability, I have been in contact with it early, so when I participated in the show, I was quite confident."

"But this time the show involves some traditional crafts and craftsmen. I don't know anything about these things beforehand, so it will be very strange."

"But I think it is precisely because of this layer of strangeness that I can get closer to a bystander, or an ordinary audience's perspective to appreciate and feel these great treasures instead of them."

Wang Ke is still persuasive: "So after these two journeys, do you have any special feelings that you want to share?"

Gu Caiwei probably understood what she should say: "My biggest feeling is that we actually have a lot of excellent traditional cultures that haven't been discovered yet."

"In the past, when we mentioned our own civilization, we were very confident. We often said that it has a long history and profound knowledge, but such a description is still too abstract."

"Because someone might have a hard time if we were asked to give two examples, so we may need to be around us to perceive it concretely, and even touch it."

"Only in this way can we really get close to the past, and then feel that we and this culture have an ancient voice that echoes in the blood."

"I think this may be what our new generation and younger generation of literary and art workers should do, extract rich supplies from our traditional culture, and then express it confidently."

Wang Ke asked: "You mentioned this confidence twice just now, how did this feeling come about?"

Gu Caiwei said: "I don't think there is any special reason, the changes around me from childhood to adulthood are enough to explain everything."

"Perhaps due to long-term backwardness in the past, we have always adopted a critical perspective on traditional culture and examined the dross in it."

"But I think in addition to this, we can still find some precious parts that can run through ancient and modern times and adapt to our modern life."

"I don't think this kind of self-confidence is blind, but has its roots, and it also requires us to maintain and develop spontaneously."

The female reporter finally felt that today's main material was almost collected, and the rest could be taken back by herself and developed slowly.

So she briefly added some other questions, and ended today's interview.

When the staff were packing up the equipment, Wang Ke walked to Gu Caiwei's side and said with a smile:

"If there are no accidents, this report should be published on May [-]th. You can take it back and have a look at that time."

"What an honor!"

Gu Caiwei was very pleasantly surprised, but it wasn't for this honor, it seemed that she and Lin Yi had inadvertently made a couple, hehe.

Wang Ke looked at her and said, "I interviewed an entrepreneur named Lin Yi two years ago, are you two really high school classmates?"

The female reporter deliberately added: "This is just my personal curiosity and has nothing to do with this interview. If you find it inconvenient to disclose, you can not answer."

Gu Caiwei blinked her bright eyes, and asked with a smile: "Then did he ask you to take care of me?"

Peng Yuchen, who was listening on the sidelines, thought that the relationship seemed to be arranged by Lin Yi, and if this was the case, it would make sense.

And the female reporter Wang Ke looked at the girl and thought:

With Lin Yi's current wealth, it is not difficult to find beautiful girls, and it is not impossible to find more girls.

But the most precious thing is that she still has the heart of Huizhilan.

Chapter 498 Time to run

Naturally, Gu Caiwei came to the capital to meet Lin Yi, but the place where Lin Yi lived had already been secretly photographed by the paparazzi, so Peng Yuchen disagreed with them meeting there and found another place.

In short, after some twists and turns, they secretly met like secret agents.

"Youth Daily? I don't have such resources. I haven't had any contact with this reporter Wang Ke since the interview two years ago. But this time she is also interviewing you. It's quite a fate."
