Behind Chen Lijun's meteoric rise to fame: Mao Weitao's "upholding tradition and innovation" and the era of internet traffic in Yue Opera.

The promotional tour for the Yue Opera film *New Dragon Gate Inn* unexpectedly became a focal point for discussion about the future of traditional opera. Standing at the center of the stage were two figures representing different generations of Yue Opera: young actress Chen Lijun and her mentor, renowned Yue Opera master Mao Weitao. Facing a large audience of young people who came specifically for Chen Lijun, Mao Weitao didn't offer the usual expression of gratitude. Instead, she directly reminded fans not to use fan-circle tactics to manipulate actors, nor to belittle others simply because they like a particular actor. Her frankness momentarily silenced the atmosphere, but her words also reflected the complex situation Yue Opera faces in the era of internet traffic. In recent years, Chen Lijun's rise to fame is closely related to the dissemination of *New Dragon Gate Inn*. Scenes of her character in the film spread rapidly through short video platforms, with multiple classic stage moments being repeatedly shared, accumulating nearly a billion views. Along with this dissemination, offline performances have also attracted a new audience. During the tour, performances led by Chen Lijun repeatedly sold out quickly after tickets went on sale. More and more young audiences are entering theaters, many of whom are experiencing Yue Opera for the first time through online videos. This change has brought this previously niche art form back into the public eye. Chen Lijun's popularity among young audiences is closely related to the traditional "female xiaosheng" (young male role) performance style of Yue Opera. The unique temperament presented by female actors portraying male characters resonates strongly with many viewers. At the same time, this stage charm is inseparable from years of rigorous basic training. Mao Weitao once commented that Chen Lijun possesses comprehensive strength in singing, recitation, acting, and martial arts, which is key to her success on stage. However, the increased popularity brings not only attention but also new challenges. Some young audiences are more focused on the individual charm of the actors or the combination of roles, while knowing less about the singing styles and artistic traditions of Yue Opera itself. This phenomenon has also prompted the industry to consider how to maintain the core value of the art while attracting new audiences. As an important representative of Yue Opera, Mao Weitao...
