However, he probably didn't drink too much.
……
While Mo Li was searching for "The Goddess Splits the Temple", Alicia was also chatting with Professor Han.
Throughout the conversation, Professor Han never suppressed the "auntie smile" on her face.
Just then, a traditional Chinese opera aria came from the computer.
"What a pity..."
Accompanied by an animation, the song "Goddess Splits the Temple" slowly played in Professor Han's ears.
Professor Han also stopped his casual conversation with Alicia.
When Professor Han first heard "The Goddess Splits the Temple," his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
But as if she had thought of something, she shook her head and chuckled softly, then continued listening.
This novel opera singing style, which blends modern elements, gave her a special feeling.
At first, it sounded a little uncomfortable.
But after listening to it for a while, I found that this way of singing was actually quite pleasant to listen to.
In the end, she could only sigh to herself, "As expected of young people, their ideas are so unconventional."
Until the video ends.
"Clap clap clap~" Alicia was the first to clap.
"It sounds so nice!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen traditional opera sung like this, and so beautifully!"
Professor Han was somewhat surprised by Alicia's words.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned to look at Mo Li.
"Is Boss Mo trying to showcase the beauty of traditional opera to young people in this way?"
Mo Li remained noncommittal: "Although it differs greatly from traditional opera, it is still a way to popularize traditional opera."
After a moment's thought, Professor Han said slowly, "Some people may not accept this method of popularization..."
Mo Li nodded, agreeing with Professor Han's statement.
Clearly, she was a relatively enlightened master of traditional Chinese opera.
But there will always be some people in the circle who are more stubborn in their thinking.
They would think that such practices were too unorthodox and caused the opera to lose its original flavor.
"Does Professor Han understand my approach?"
Whether I support you or not, it doesn't change your mind.
Professor Han's words left Mo Li speechless, and she could only chuckle softly.
Indeed, even if she didn't agree with this novel way of singing opera, it still couldn't change Mo Li's idea of releasing "The Goddess Splits the Temple".
However, Mo Li still hoped that the other party would support him.
For no other reason than that she is Yun Jin's mother. If she also agrees, Yun Jin will not be in such a difficult position.
With this in mind, Mo Li began to explain.
"I actually understand your thoughts."
"But...effective cultural dissemination is never simply about copying others."
"We need to find suitable forms of integration and expression that can appeal to more people in the present era, and thereby spark their curiosity about its past development."
Eden wholeheartedly agreed with Mo Li's words.
She had always wanted to bring music with Chinese elements to the world.
However, because they hadn't found the trick, they were unable to achieve this goal for a long time.
It wasn't until Mo Li pulled out a song called "Li Yue" that she suddenly realized what was going on.
"That's right~"
"During the feudal period, people said that actors were the lowest of the low, that performing opera was equivalent to being a lowly person, and that they might not even be included in the family genealogy."
"And now, drama has become a national treasure, a folk art, and an intangible cultural heritage..."
"Mountains and rivers flow, times change, so why should we remain stagnant?"
"If we stop moving forward because of narrow-minded prejudices, we will only be squeezed into the cracks by those who are willing to change, and eventually disappear into the long river of history."
Eden's words plunged Professor Han into silence...
Seeing this, Mo Li pressed on while the iron was hot and continued:
"Look, everyone on the internet is saying that Genshin Impact has taken Chinese culture abroad and truly exported it."
"But in reality, the amount of Chinese elements that Genshin Impact incorporates is really negligible."
However, cultural export is not something that can be achieved overnight.
At this point, Mo Li suddenly paused and asked, "Professor Han must go online often, right?"
Professor Han nodded subconsciously.
"Professor Han, have you come across any videos of foreign players commenting on Genshin Impact?"
"For example, when Inazuma was open to the public, what were the comments from Japanese players about Inazuma's landscape and culture?"
Professor Han nodded again.
Seeing this, Mo Li smiled slightly: "Aren't those players particularly excited when facing Inazuma? Especially when they encounter elements that are particularly prominent in their country?"
Professor Han nodded again.
"Doesn't this resemble the overjoyed reaction of players from our country when they encounter an element related to China while playing a foreign game?"
Professor Han continued to nod.
But suddenly, as if she had thought of something.
“That’s right!” Mo Li snapped his fingers.
"To get someone to accept an unfamiliar element, you first have to make them interested in it."
"3.5 When international players are interested in Genshin Impact because of its beautiful graphics, and when they are excited to see elements from their own country... they will inevitably come into contact with the [Liyue] region of the game through its storyline."
"Thus, I came into contact with the culture, architecture, clothing, opera, and so on of the Dragon Kingdom..."
"The same principle applies to cultural export, and the same applies to cultural popularization."
"To get people to understand something, you first have to make them interested in it."
"And 'Shenlipiguan' is the starting point for attracting young people's interest in traditional opera."
"When they find 'Shenlipi Guan' very pleasant to listen to and the singing style seems familiar, they will naturally try to understand the origin of this singing style."
"Thus, we learned about the unique opera culture of our Dragon Kingdom."
……
P.S.: Please stop scolding me QAQ.
Chapter 458 Professor Han: My daughter's character card is really beautiful~
After hearing Mo Li's words, Professor Han fell into deep thought.
It must be said that Mo Li's words made a lot of sense.
She wasn't a stubborn person to begin with; it's just that most of the people in her circle were older, and their thinking was inevitably influenced by them.
Now, Mo Li's reasonable and well-founded remarks have completely made her understand.
Moreover, she also thought of an important point—
Genshin Impact is a game that's become incredibly popular overseas.
In other words, once "The Goddess Splits the Temple" is performed, it's not just people in China who can hear it; people abroad can hear it too.
They are still struggling to popularize traditional opera culture in China.
Despite strong government support, and even if no one likes to listen to opera, there will still be opera programs on the Spring Festival Gala every year.
But the result... even with such support, the opera world is still dwindling in numbers.
In contrast, Mo Li's first move was to showcase the beauty of traditional opera to the world.
Yes, that's perfectly fine.
Although "The Goddess Splits the Temple" is a heavily modified version of traditional opera.
But the singing style was indeed that of traditional Chinese opera.
Furthermore, Mo Li also mentioned that "The Goddess Splits the Temple" was sung by Yun Jin.
Finally, Professor Han spoke up: "Mr. Mo Li, may I listen to it again?"
