On August 21st, the meeting “Drama inheritance and live stream symposium” sponsored by guangming.com and Showself Entertainment was held in Beijing. Representatives from  the Central Network Information Office, the Ministry of Public Security and the Culture and Tourism Department came to join the meeting and discussed the feasibility of the live stream usage to help the opera development.

Lu Xiangao, deputy chief editor of Guangming Daily, pointed out that the combination of the live stream and traditional opera can broaden the spread of the traditional opera  and can also enrich the content of the live stream. The cooperation increases the influence of the traditional opera in modern society, especially among young people, and promote the traditional Chinese culture. In the new era, with the development of the economy and the society, this traditional culture has been well developed and spread out.

Qin Wen, deputy director of the National Art Fund Management Center, delivered a speech about the traditional opera. It is the essence of traditional chinese culture. However, there is no doubt that the development of traditional opera will obtain new opportunities and challenges. Guangming.com launched a project named "Establish a media platform for excellent opera plays". It built a new platform for opera exhibition on modern technology and communication channel. He hoped that guangming.com media co., LTD can respect the regulation of art in the future, coordinate the resources of all aspects, and make the project better and better.

Yang Yan, a professor and doctoral supervisor of drama and opera at Communication University of China, said that the government supports of the traditional opera on the new media platform is affluent. However, if they want to achieve more in the inheritance area, they need better communication and cooperation in three areas; opera actors, experts in research institutions, and the media. Additionally, they should also change the operation model and positioning of opera and explore more channels to develop it.

Hou Hong, President of China Pingju theatre, introduced the advantages of network broadcast in the spread of traditional Chinese opera, which expanded the production mode, space and transmission channel of traditional Chinese opera. This also puts forward a particularly strict requirement on the network platform, which requires each network broadcast platform not only to master advanced technical skills, but also to improve the aesthetic elements.
