Chapter 189 The Pop Music World "Please Ask for Monthly Ticket Support"

Han Feng, the main person in charge of the TV entertainment department, found it through the deputy head of the station, Lao Chen) (7, exchanged questions about "The Same Song" with him.

During the period from 1993 to 1994, changes in the pop music world were obvious. Campus folk songs began to appear in a surge, which had a great impact on people's entertainment life.

At present, there are two relatively large forces in the domestic entertainment industry, one is the New Silk Road Entertainment Company created by Fan Wubing, and the other is the major audio-visual entertainment companies based in Guangzhou.

Guangdong has Zhuhai, Shenzhen and the first three special economic zones. It is not only a bridgehead in the process of national reform and opening up, but also a frontier for the transmission of advanced Western productivity, ideas and culture.

Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, not only attracts a large number of industrial labor, but also attracts a large number of literary and artistic talents to the exhibition because of its open literary and artistic thinking and strong economic strength, which has brought unprecedented prosperity to Guangdong's cultural industry. It made it difficult for a city in Beijing to digest the phenomenon of cultural talents across the country. Because of the development of this new cultural root base, more talents can get the opportunity to play their strengths, and to a certain extent, it also guarantees the development of Chinese literary and art circles after the reform and opening up. diversity situation.

Due to the policy opening and economic guarantee, Guangdong pop music also developed rapidly due to the economic drive, and the unique advantage of being adjacent to Hong Kong gave Guangdong pop music a good reference from the very beginning. The foundation, so that on the basis of not taking too many detours, it has reached a relatively mature industry level.

Guangdong Audiovisual, Pacific Audiovisual Company, China Record Corporation Guangzhou Company, Guangzhou White Swan Audiovisual and other companies successively launched their own star-making plans, and soon launched Chen Ming, Gao Linsheng, Gan Ping, Mao Ning, Lin Yilun, Chen Shaohua , Huofeng and Li Jin and other singers, so that Cantonese pop music can be sung all over the country.

The way Cantonese pop music won at the time was that it borrowed well from the signing mechanism and promotion methods of Hong Kong pop music, but in terms of music, it was the same as Guangdong's economy at that time, not limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music Wind, even has a stronger regional tolerance than Beijing pop music.

The combination of music and culture, and because of the latter's profound heritage in mainland China, soon made the pop music in the mainland, which started very late, have a trend of surpassing the pop music in Hong Kong and Taiwan at that time. Of course, the spread and popularity of these local original songs also benefited from the popularity of karaoke at that time.

Whether it's a professional karaoke hall, or some small restaurant boxes, or in high-end or civilian singing equipment, countless people are in the identity of amateur singers and music lovers, because they have a strong sense of participation , and let pop music deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Han Feng had met Fan Wubing before, but he didn't have a close relationship with him. This time, it was also for work, and he wanted to exchange views with this unknown but well-known heavyweight original author in the Chinese music scene.

Hearing Han Feng's compliment to himself. Fan Wubing was a little embarrassed.

He knows his own affairs. I just sang a little more karaoke in my previous life. So many classic songs can be used at your fingertips. It's not a genius. Music cell even has the kind of person above the feet.

"Brother Han's praise. Fan is really ashamed. It's just a game." Fan Wubing laughed.

Han Feng thought in his heart that this person was too dishonest. If you randomly play games, you can occupy the commanding heights of the music scene. So those of us are all eating and drinking? But of course he couldn't say such words.

Because Old Chen told him. It is said that Fan Wubing is not just the boss of New Silk Road Entertainment Company. And he is also the boss of many large companies. The net worth is extremely rich. The status of the business world is unmatched. Not to mention that his father is now also a powerful figure at the ministerial level. This kind of character. It's not something ordinary people can afford to provoke.

Han Feng really didn't intend to provoke Fan Wubing. He wanted to discuss with Fan Wubing about adding campus folk songs to the "Same Song" program.

Although it is said that CCTV provides an audio-visual platform for the "Same Song" column, their role and status in the column is extremely limited. Basically, it is the New Silk Road Entertainment Company who will sing the "Same Song" Forget it, the resources they possess are extremely scarce, that is, the right to dividends.

If they wanted to add their own relationship to the show, they had to communicate with Fan Wubing. Success or failure depends on the mood here.

"Campus folk songs——" Fan Wubing touched his chin after listening to Han Feng's words, squinted his eyes and asked, "This seems to conflict with the company's entertainment direction, right? It's not so easy to arrange."

The rise of campus folk songs has several masterpieces in China, such as "You at the Same Table" by Lao Lang, and "A Letter from Home" by Li Chunbo, etc., but the most popular in this year

The song is "Xiaofang" by Li Chunbo.

The popularity of the song "Xiao Fang" really made Fan Wubing a little bit emotional. Pop music really follows the background of the times and the needs of the public.

Last year, "Xiaofang" became popular all over the country. Because of its popularity, urban folk songs emerged in the pop music scene, and then campus folk songs became popular. Li Chunbo, who sang the lyrics and music of "Xiaofang", has been in the limelight in the Chinese pop music scene for a while.

Before 1992, Li Chunbo played the bass player in a small band, his life was poor, and no one cared about his songs. As soon as Li Chunbo came to Guangdong, he asked musician Zhu Derong to help him produce "Xiaofang". After the production, he searched for record companies everywhere, and several record companies were unwilling to publish because of his amateur singing.

The reason why Li Chunbo received cold reception was that the song was too different from the mainstream pop music at that time, the lyrics were colloquial, the articulation method was not standard, and the singing was rougher than the singers who came out of the conservatory. Confidence is also normal.

But a year later, "Xiaofang" began to be sung in every corner of China. In terms of awards, "Xiao Fang" has won the top four charts in Guangzhou, and has been on the charts of Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and other cities for several weeks. Ranked first on the list.

What Han Feng meant was to get Li Chunbo onto the stage of "The Same Song".

Fan Wubing doesn't have much opinion on this. After all, Li Chunbo's two songs are very popular now, and he wants to make money by doing his own show. It will be very good for the box office if this kind of popular singer can be recruited to participate in the performance. Yes, but what Han Feng said next made him somewhat disagreeable.

"We feel that whether campus folk songs or urban folk songs are good, these will be an important development direction in the music scene in the future, so we suggest that in the "Same Song" column, some space should be left for folk songs to satisfy the audience's needs. Need it." Han Feng said to Fan Wubing.

"The popularity of folk songs is especially accidental, and the audience is also selective." Fan Wubing frowned and said to Han Feng. Now these people are the main buyers, but soon they will become history, and the new era will be the revolutionary new music brought by new forms of entertainment media tools.”

"For example?" Han Feng frowned and asked.

"For example, European and American-style blues and jazz will prevail. I'm afraid no one will carry the banner of folk songs." Fan Wubing replied directly.

What Fan Wubing said was well-founded. For example, Li Chunbo, who has been popular for two years, began to fall into silence after singing two popular songs as an amateur singer. Afterwards, some folk songs by other singers were mostly empty humming songs that were tasteless, and some even had to rely on children's voices to accompany them in order to find gimmicks to attract audiences. This period has already doomed the end of folk songs. up.

As for why Han Feng mentioned increasing the proportion of folk songs, Fan Wubing didn't want to speculate on the reason, but subjectively, he didn't see the situation clearly, right? As the saying goes, there is no one flower that will be popular in a hundred days, and there is no style of music that can occupy the seat of the pop music scene for a long time.

"Then why do you think that folk songs will decline?" Han Feng asked in disbelief.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Of course there is a basis. Li Chunbo is not a professional singer-songwriter. Both of his songs are accidental, and his success in this style is also accidental. I heard that, At that time, his behind-the-scenes promoters made a lot of advertisements on TV, radio and newspapers in order to promote him, and paid a lot of money. If this condition no longer exists, and he himself will not be able to create a work that is as good as the previous one. When there are outstanding works that stand shoulder to shoulder, it is time for him to go silent."

"Then how long do you think he can last in the pop music scene?" Han Feng asked.

Fan Wubing tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "I think it is impossible for him to hit the third song, and two is his limit. Therefore, the decline of folk songs will be in this year or next year. "

"Then we'll just wait and see—" Han Feng was somewhat unconvinced by Fan Wubing's words, he always felt that he would have to go through more than a year to see if his words would come true?

However, Fan Wubing finally agreed to Han Feng's suggestion, and in the next "Same Song" column, the part about folk songs will be added.
