Changchun, December 23 (Xinhua) -- Ice and snow cover the northeast, and the sound of pine shadows dancing is light. In the eastern part of Jilin Province, Yanji City, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, known as the "hometown of song and dance", the cold north wind cannot stop people's love for song and dance.
The red sun shines on the frontier, and the green mountains and green waters are covered with the glow ......At noon, Huang Meihua, director of the vocal department of the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe, appeared in the live broadcast room on time in a bright traditional Korean costume. This national first-class actor and soprano singer started a new vocal journey through live broadcast, so that more people can hear the natural sound from the foot of Changbai Mountain.

In recent years, in the face of the diversification of the audience and the pressure of inheriting traditional arts, the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe has begun to explore online live broadcasts to encourage the mobilization of actors to transform. Faced with the unknown, Huang Meihua had the idea of retreating. In order to let the reputation of "the hometown of singing and dancing" be known by more people, Huang Meihua decided to hold the attitude of "give it a try" and unlock the "traffic password" of live broadcast.
The stage and live broadcast are completely different ways of performing, can I do it well?"What kind of songs to sing, what kind of interactive way can be liked by more netizens?."When Huang Meihua opened a personal account on social platforms, new problems followed. In the face of challenges, Huang Meihua tried to combine traditional repertoire with modern pop elements, from traditional Korean songs to pop**, from bel canto singing to folk songs, she gradually found a live broadcast style that suits her. Overcoming the initial discomfort, the live broadcast room began to attract more and more fans, and in more and more likes and comments, Huang Meihua regained her self-confidence, and often recommended her hometown Yanbian to netizens.
How to "break the circle" of traditional art performances in the new environment is one of the common puzzles faced by performing arts practitioners.
Wu Fei, director of the International Communication Research Center and deputy director of the Department of Humanities of Zhejiang University, believes that the young actors of the troupe have found opportunities to show their talents in the live broadcast room and won the appreciation and support of the audience. The progress of art requires exchanges and exchanges, and it is necessary to promote the development and expansion of the team of online literary and artistic talents.
Now the 'iron fans' in the live broadcast room will also sing Korean classic songs such as "Arirang" and "Red Sun Shines on the Frontier"!Recently, at the "Seminar on Live Broadcast to Help the Innovative Development of Local Literary and Art Troupes" held by the Cultural Resources Research Center of Peking University, Huang Meihua excitedly showed her live broadcast results. Since the start of the live broadcast in April, she has gained 340,000 loyal viewers.
According to the data, up to now, the number of viewers of the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe's single live broadcast has reached 1.7 million. Through the live broadcast, this 77-year-old ethnic minority art troupe helped Yanbian song and dance to a broader stage. Luo Songhua, deputy head of the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe, said.
