As a way of the efforts to rescue Beijing Opera in recent years, the model plays were touched again by some Beijing Opera performing troupes. Tianjin Opera Troupe made a tour to Guangzhou (Canton) and Hong Kong with some modern plays including the "Takeover of Wei-Hu Mountain". A modified version (actually the version before it became the model one) of "The Legend of Red Lantern" was shown on the CCTV with almost all of the original actors and actresses, who performed the one which was filmed and labeled the model play.
