Now that you’ve started singing, you can’t stop!

Yes!

The opera stages and theaters are like miniature reflections of the local people's lives. The faces on and off the stage are constantly changing, and the repertoire is also continuously updated with the development of the times.

But the theatrical connection deeply ingrained in the bones and blood of the common people remains unchanged.

The ancient opera stages, still standing tall after a thousand years of wind and rain and a hundred years of vicissitudes, are also unchanged!

This section of the video mainly aims to show the audience the culture of the ancient opera stage!

Because opera is inseparable from the stage!

Every opera stage,

is a heavy history of opera,

and also an opera museum!

...

"The wildness of youth, the sorrow of twilight"

"All waiting to be forgiven by her"

"..."

When Nan Ye sang these two lines, the camera was no longer on the stage, but on the audience seats below the stage.

From the audience seats in 2010, to 2011, 2012...

And then to the audience seats in 2023.

The Netizens could clearly see that the number of audience members was decreasing little by little.

Until the end, for some openings, there weren't even ten audience members!

But... the actors on stage were still dedicated, without the slightest slack!

A piece of text appeared in the video:

"Once the voice is opened, it cannot stop!"

One sorrow, one joy, one flick of the sleeve,

One kneel, one bow, one kowtow,

One frown, one smile, one glance back,

One lifetime, one moment's rest,

Once the voice is opened, whether there is anyone below the stage or not, it cannot stop!

Why?

Because this is the rule of our ancestors!

This is the spirit, the spirit of the old opera performers!

[Seeing this, why am I a little teary-eyed?]

[Isn't it rumored on TikTok: Once the opera begins, listeners come from all directions, one direction for humans, three for ghosts, and four for deities!

If mortals don't listen, it doesn't mean ghosts and deities don't listen!

Just don't know if it's true or false!]

[Although these lines sound profound, as far as I know, many opera genres don't actually have this rule.

However, the "Once the voice is opened, it cannot stop" in the video is real!]

[Don't know about the legend, but there is a tradition. There was an opera performance in my hometown before, and it started pouring rain shortly after it began. Everyone left, but those performers, even with their clothes soaked, still insisted on finishing the performance before leaving. Very dedicated!]

[...]

The camera circled back to the stage at the beginning, and Nan Ye in his white shirt.

His eyes were full of helplessness and regret.

But with a free and easy voice, he sang the last line:

"Push open the door of the world"

"The favor left for you, don't leave too quickly"

At the very end, there was a monologue from Nan Ye:

"Opera is a treasure left to us by the era, a classic we are proud of.

Even if it is truly disappearing...

Please let it, not leave too quickly!"

The live stream room slowly went dark, just like the live stream design of blue and white porcelain, followed by another super long black screen.

This was specifically intended for the Netizens to process what they had seen.

[This opening is so good, must give it a like!]

[I originally thought I might not even last a minute and wanted to wait until Nan Ye actually got on stage to come back and watch.

Who knew, it turned out to be such a surprising opening, I actually watched the whole thing!]

[The designer put a lot of thought into it. Promoting opera culture in this way, I really listened. I didn't expect there to be opera stages over 800 years ago.]

[That last line, "don't leave too quickly," really hit home. I hope opera can get better and better...]

[...]

Behind the Water Mirror Stage!

When President Jiang appeared at the beginning, he was burning with anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit or stand, constantly repeating the actions of sitting and standing, appearing extremely restless.

Now that the opening was over, he immediately turned to the live stream backstage staff: "How is it, how is it, what's the situation!"

"The situation is good. The numbers show that the number of people entering is far greater than the number of people leaving.

From 40 million at 7 o'clock sharp, to now, it's already 46 million!"

President Jiang clenched his fist tightly and shouted a few times: "Good, good, really good!"

One song, one MV, and the display of opera culture, not only didn't make the audience leave, but also attracted many new people.

All of this indicates that this opening was successful!

The heart he had been holding in suspense could finally relax.

Coming to Nan Ye's side, President Jiang patted his shoulder: "Good job, kid, you really have something. Your opening directly revitalized the whole program!"

That's right, this opening design was indeed from Nan Ye.

At the very beginning of the design, President Jiang and the others almost pulled out all their hair.

Finally, there was no other way, so they sent it to the association member group for everyone to brainstorm.

Or if anyone had connections and knew experts in opening design, they could be invited to discuss.

At that time, Nan Ye hadn't participated in "Island Survival" yet, and he had a lot of time. When he was bored, he would browse the messages in the group.

When he saw the words "design opening", Nan Ye instantly thought of the variety show from his previous life, 'Infinity and Beyond: The Island Season'.

It featured a scene where Yang Naiwen sang 'Push Open the Door of the World' and promoted opera culture.

It can be said that throughout the entire season, that stage was the most captivating and left the deepest impression.

Thinking of this, Nan Ye casually mentioned it.

Unexpectedly, President Jiang valued Nan Ye greatly and asked him to elaborate on his idea.

Whether it was good or not didn't matter, the focus was on the creativity.

Once the idea was out, everyone could work together to refine it.

Who knew, after Nan Ye presented his rough idea, it gave everyone a refreshing new perspective.

They had been in the association for too long and participated in too many performances, their thoughts were:

Since it's about promoting opera, opera must be highlighted, and not mixed with any impurities.

However, the opening proposed by Nan Ye was designed in the form of an MV.

Using popular songs as the main thread to connect with opera culture.

This was undoubtedly very novel!

They could use popular songs to capture the hearts of young people and take the opportunity to showcase opera culture.

It had both traffic and quality, highly feasible!

After listening to Nan Ye's demo of 'Push Open the Door of the World'.

The proposal was quickly approved in the group.

And together they perfected this proposal, and the final result was the nearly 6-minute opening that the Netizens saw...

...

Nan Ye put down his water cup and replied with a smile: "Not at all, I just provided an idea. The final result was thanks to everyone being so capable.

For example, Teacher Song Jushuang's squatting flip was so cool.

Also, the filming of the first ancient and modern opera stages and so on, you must have traveled to many places!

To be honest, this is the first time I've seen the finished product, and the effect is really great!"

President Jiang's gaze towards Nan Ye became increasingly kind.

Who wouldn't like such a young person who is neither arrogant nor impatient, and also has real talent?

"No, no, creativity is the soul..."

While the two were chatting, the live stream room finally lit up again...
