Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Qu Kangcheng coughed lightly, interrupting Yang Heng, and instructed, ”After the detailed ranking list comes out, go and get a copy, and then weʼll go and take a look at it too.”

A few days later, Xiao He and the others went to the scene to watch the opening performance of the German team.

Their script this time is based on a classic novel, ”Mother Courage and Her Children,” which tells the story of a mother who takes her three children with her to work as a war merchant, profiting from the war, and ultimately all three children die in the war.

This is a very classic play that has won many international awards before. Even though half a century has passed, it is still a well-known work in the industry.

This performance was a bold adaptation and creation based on the classic. Xiao He had never seen the original version before and this was his first time seeing this kind of performance live, so he watched with great interest. Qu Kangcheng, who had seen the troupeʼs most classic version, nodded and shook his head from time to time, whispering to the person next to him.

”It seems that theater troupes in various places havenʼt been developing very well in recent years.”

Yang Heng sighed.

Looking at the entries submitted this time, very few teams dared to present new works; it seems that everyone was still adopting a conservative approach.

This kind of arts and culture competition isnʼt like a sports meet where you can rely on one trick. Innovation is still very important, whether itʼs the performance style or the storyline.

Living off past glories is a very cruel thing to do.

Because they canʼt compare to the classics, and canʼt surpass their predecessors, they can only watch helplessly as the old actors are replaced by new ones. In the end, they become numb to the plot, and can guess the next plot with their eyes closed. There is no longer any novelty that catches their eye.

The current situation gives the impression that all industries are declining due to the poor economic environment.

I wonder if these six years have been too long, affecting many peopleʼs mindset.

”Theyʼve already done quite well, and theyʼve consistently produced innovative works. Itʼs just that this time, perhaps because they were the first team to compete, they opted for a more conservative script.”

Qu Kangcheng smiled, which gave him more confidence and assurance in the competition: ”But this is good too. Maybe this year will really be an opportunity for us.”

The woman on stage, with her exaggerated and bold makeup, changed from black to red under the lights, her eyes shifting with the changing lights and clothes, sometimes looking mournful, sometimes mad. The stark contrast allowed people to glimpse her past and her future in that moment.

”If you want to survive through war, you have to offer something to war.”

Thus, the poor were forced to become bold, mothers became resolute, and the weak, who had been hiding and fleeing, sought wealth in the war, until finally, the war on which she ”depended for survival” took away her children...

Many people in war are ignorant.

Before they could even understand what all this meant, they had already become victims of the war.

This is just a microcosm of the lives of ordinary people in that era.

Even more tragically, even though more and more people now understand what this means, the final result is nothing more than consciously sinking into depravity until the day they are caught up in the flames of war and die for their beliefs.

...

What is a classic?

Even after half a century, and even though everyone knows the plot, it is a work that can still attract the attention of most people and be loved by them.

Without a doubt, this work has succeeded.

While the adaptation is based on a classic and may not surpass the original, it is still a rare gem.

”What a pity.”

A voice came from the side.

”If they hadnʼt been the first troupe to perform, they would still have been able to maintain a high ranking this time.”

Of course, the current work can be considered popular, but the opening performance is a classic adaptation. The judges havenʼt found their scoring rhythm yet, so the score for the first performance will definitely be slightly lower. This is not a problem with the troupeʼs ability, but purely a matter of luck.

Xiao He turned his head and glanced at the man, discovering that he was a slightly overweight, unfamiliar middle-aged man.
