Chen Guangsheng visited the courtyard of the West Lake Cultural Square of Xiaobaihuayue Theater, watched the video of the development history of the troupe and listened to the work report of the troupe. When talking with the leading group, he pointed out:
Yue Opera is the most representative local opera in Zhejiang, and “Little Hundred Flowers” is a “golden business card”, which has produced such classic plays as Five Women Celebrate Birthday, Lu You and Tang Wan, and The West Chamber. In recent years, Xiaobaihuayue Theatre has also launched outstanding works such as Maple Leaves Like Flowers and Qiantang Li, and has also made active efforts to implement the Song Yun culture handed down from generation to generation project. Winning the “Wenhua Award” this time is the result of Zhejiang Yue Opera people’s continuous endeavor and hard work.
The achievements deserve full recognition. But winning the prize is a milestone and a new starting point. We must be soberly aware of the new challenges faced by the current Yue Opera cause, persist in being upright and innovative, break through ourselves with the spirit of bravely standing on the forefront, and be good at breaking through ourselves by means of transformation and remolding.
The first is to seek a breakthrough in the creation of fine works. This is the foundation of the “Little Hundred Flowers” that will not be erased by time. In the face of any honor, we should turn to zero, think about where the next masterpiece is, how to polish and improve it, and ensure that we plan ahead, strive for perfection, and achieve a masterpiece that comes naturally. The second is to seek a breakthrough in personnel training. “Little Hundred Flowers” should constantly produce people, new people and famous artists, earnestly strengthen the construction of talent echelon, be willing and good at letting young actors play the leading role, and create an environment and mechanism conducive to young talents to stand out and let a hundred flowers blossom. The third is to seek a breakthrough in the reform of the college league. The two troupes of Yue Theatre should continue to strengthen their integration, make efforts to straighten out the management system and operation mechanism, further make overall planning of resources, and give full play to the effect of “1+1>2”. The fourth is to seek a breakthrough in communication and promotion. A real fine work of art should be good at speaking by flow. We should do a good job in the second half of the winning works such as “Maple Leaves Like Flowers”, and strive to perform more and continue to perform. Make full use of digital means and media channels to empower the popularization of Yue Opera.
