Before liberation, movies were a luxury. Drama is a face-to-face performance of real people. If the actors work hard, the audience will applaud. The atmosphere of interactive communication on stage and off stage is intoxicating. At that time, there was no TV. The stage is the main entertainment place for young people and old people, and the local grand theatre is almost never idle. Troupe companies all over the country often come and go. Which troupes perform in which areas depends on whether the audience likes it or not, whether the troupes can play the leading role and whether the actors sing well, which determines the economic income of the troupes and theaters. At that time, drama groups really "dominated" literature and art in various places. This booming phenomenon continued until the 1960s.

With the rise of the film industry, the appearance and popularization of TV sets, this phenomenon has gradually subsided. Sometimes the theater company's ticket attendance rate is less than 10%, and later it even develops to "send tickets" to the unit to "see the play for nothing", and the audience will not be full. The reason is that the enhancement of movies, TV, karaoke bars, dance halls and various entertainment places has attracted a large number of young audiences; Coupled with various large and small dinners in recent years, young people have left home at night, leaving the children at home to their parents. Parents who want to go out to the theatre will be stopped, and there will be fewer and fewer old audiences in the drama group.

In recent years, drama has shown signs of recovery. In the sixties and seventies, audiences who had a special liking for drama all had their own favorite drama melody, which was rooted in their hearts and would not be replaced by others. Because I like it, I keep humming and slowly participate in the performances of clubs and amateur small troupes, which enlivens the small stage of Chinese drama, expands the audience area, and makes dramas all over the country have corresponding markets.
