Chapter 360 A Drama that Everyone Is Looking Forward To

Thursday, June 29, 1998.

an ordinary day.

Office workers are still running around on the bus and the subway that has not been opened for a few years. They should fight for seats, fight wits, and fight. The students are already preparing for the final exam and are reviewing nervously. The students in the third grade of high school and middle school are a little special because they will soon face the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination. Parents are asking for a little break - again, they're all heading into a long two-month vacation in a few days.

Even for many third-year students, taking the college entrance examination means that the school stage of life will be completely over, and they will find their first job in life.

But for the media, especially the entertainment media, and China's film and television industry, today is a special day.

The big drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which has been raging for three years, is finally about to start broadcasting.

From the initial conception of this drama, through approval, script writing, new studio, to the establishment of the director team, and then to the selection of actors across the country, the entire crew was formally established, and all the way to the shooting period, it has always been at the height of the domestic media. Under the lock of attention and intensive reports, every new action will become the focus of entertainment.

Media attention means public attention.

The influence of the masterpiece "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in China, and even in the entire Chinese cultural circle and the entire East Asian cultural circle is absolutely unparalleled. If we only discuss the category of novels and stories, it can definitely surpass the rebellion of the One Hundred and Eight Generals of the Water Margin, the story of Ximen Qing's pan donkey and Deng Xiaoxian, and even Monkey King's trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

After examining the history of Chinese civilization for five thousand years, and looking through all the written works, there are only about two books that can steadily surpass the popularity and influence of this novel-"The Analects of Confucius" and "Tao Te Ching".

Perhaps, for the vast majority of ordinary people, even the "Tao Te Ching" is not as influential as it.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, Zhang Liao...

This half-historical, half-romantic novel may not be comparable to "Water Margin" or "Journey to the West" or "Jin Ping Mei" in terms of purely literary value, but one after another of the wonderful characters in it originated from historical facts , spread in the mouth and ears, practiced in pen and ink, and finally deeply engraved in the minds of the entire Chinese nation, almost every Chinese can say two paragraphs when they mention it, and discuss it with others with reason and evidence. Two.

What's more, many of the relatively crudely described characters in this masterpiece are familiar to many people in China, such as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who is a beauty with a hero, such as Mrs. Gan who is known in history as "skin white as jade", such as Cao Pi who can't wait to snatch her. The Luoshen Zhen Mi who got it, and the ear-cutting Yujin, the one-eyed Xiahou Dun, and "There is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is the vanguard"... and so on.

To some extent, it can be said that he is the first history education that almost every Chinese can receive.

Therefore, the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", from the relevant leaders of the publicity and radio and television departments, to the showbiz, and down to the ordinary audience, all looked at it with special importance.

Especially when the time entered June, Huaxia TV launched an overwhelming publicity for this TV series. The advertisements on each channel of their own TV station, which were originally expensive to death, began to be spent like desperately without money, in newspapers, magazines, etc. The TV station, under the strong institutional influence of Huaxia TV station, also began to be full of publicity for this TV series, as well as speculation and discussions to a certain extent.

And even among the people, this TV series is gradually becoming a hot topic of discussion among ordinary people after dinner and during work breaks——

Can it truly restore the wonderful stories in the original work?

Can the actors deduce the peerless demeanor of those advisers and generals?

I hope that the so-called TV series will not destroy this great work!

…………

and so on and so forth.

The cast list has already been released, and now the increasingly developed media and media, two or three weeks before the broadcast of the show, have already begun to detail the origins, origins, and past of the main role players of the show. The roles that have been played, the evaluations received, etc., accompanied by the set photos released by the crew-newspapers and magazines, have sold well.

Just looking at the makeup photos, it can be said that the evaluation is generally positive.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun... On the whole, the selection of this group of actors and their appearance can generally meet the psychological expectations of the audience, at least they will not be evaluated as too bad. In particular, the costumes, props and art make-up of this drama have been praised by quite a group of historians as "approximately close to this", and some scenes and stills released by the crew in advance also show that this TV series has quite a strong " Sense of history".

The reason is actually very simple. From the beginning of the filming concept to the final editing of the film, as many as 40 well-known domestic historians were invited to participate in the film from the beginning to the end. It's weird!

At that time, everyone knew that neither the makeup photos nor the still photos could completely represent the image created by the actors, nor could it represent the specific quality of the play. It is still necessary to wait for the TV series to be staged before we can evaluate one or two.

Then, waiting, waiting, discussing, discussing, June 29th finally came.

This night, I dare not say that the crowd was empty, but at least, the number of viewers who were willing to sit in front of the TV was more than 30% higher than usual - and more than half of them were directly locked in a program of Huaxia TV.

…………

For the music circle, which is relatively not too deep and not absolutely closely connected, the launch of Huaxia TV's annual historical drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also one of the major focuses in the near future.

This music circle refers to the overall music circle, which includes major domestic art groups: song and dance troupes, orchestras, and record companies, as well as major art and music academies, as well as a large number of musicians and music critics. People, etc. - the concept of the so-called pop music scene is much smaller than the concept of the music circle, it is just a part of the music circle.

For the entire music circle, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also a big event.

Since the filming concept of this play was put forward, the industry—especially major music colleges—has already had many famous or non-famous musicians discussing the soundtrack ideas of this play. The construction has really started, and the major record companies have started to come to the door one after another, striving to win the soundtrack of this hugely influential annual drama.

And at the same time, headed by chief producer and chief director Feng Yumin, the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also successively visited many famous domestic musicians and composers, and once tried to call these big names to come and set up a soundtrack group temporarily. Strive to match this drama with a soundtrack of sufficient grade.

For quite a long period of time, the industry has been discussing who should take the lead in the soundtrack of this movie. One after another, famous musicians who are well-known in the music industry and even enjoy a high reputation all over the world have been mentioned one after another. The gorgeous and eye-catching master-level soundtrack team and the composition of the theme song of the episode have also been conceived and kneaded by professionals in the industry in repeated discussions.

However, when the dust settled, countless people were surprised to find that the crew of this drama finally chose a record company called "Minghu Culture" to undertake the soundtrack!

And the creator of his chief soundtrack, theme song and interlude is Li Qian.

Once the news came out, it's hard to say that the entire music circle was in an uproar, but at least, quite a few musicians were dumbfounded.

Li Qian is very popular, everyone knows him.

Although the pop music world is only a part of the music circle, it is the biggest connection window that the music circle has opened to the outside world and the general public—more than 95% of the listeners are audiences of pop songs, while less than 1% of the listeners , who seldom or never listen to pop songs, and mainly listen to symphonies and concerts.

Even the old-fashioned and traditional musicians cannot ignore the existence of the pop music scene.

Therefore, as Liao Liao, Wu Xing Wu Su, He Runqing, and the Four Great Beauties became popular all over the country, Li Qian, the chief producer and number one talent in the industry, became bigger and louder. And in the relatively closed traditional music circles, as well as the music circles of politics, nationalities, military, etc., that is, in the music circles outside the pop music circle, Li Qian is already very well-known.

Regardless of whether you approve of his music or not, you are no longer qualified to say that his music is bad, because people all over the country think his music is great!

Furthermore, the principal of the highest music institution in China, who is one of the leaders of the entire music circle, sent an invitation to "come and be a professor" to Li Qian, a 20-year-old boy who is still in college.

But... this is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

It’s okay to talk about other ordinary historical dramas. Such a big drama, which is expected by the whole country and has a different meaning to the Chinese, has actually found a 20-year-old boy to take charge of the music. affairs!

Many people are dissatisfied and questioned from the bottom of their hearts!

It is one thing to recognize Li Qian's status and strength in the pop music world, but it is another thing to recognize his status and strength in the entire music industry - just think about it for a while, and you will know that such a political and military drama like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" , the soundtrack he needed must be majestic, elegant, mighty, and tragic melody.

To take over the soundtrack of this play, there are some great musicians and composers who are famous internationally in China!

You know, it is said that when they were working hard to win the soundtrack of this movie, whether it was Sony, Cinda, Huage, Dongfang, Asia and other record companies, they all contacted famous masters in the industry. And promised to focus on them to undertake the soundtrack and songwriting work of the whole TV series.

But in the end, the soundtrack of this play was completed by a twenty-year-old boy!

Because orchestras, folk bands, etc. have successively joined in the recording, and many musicians and singers have also joined in to sing the theme song and episodes of this TV series, the industry has more or less begun to understand Li Qian's soundtrack ideas—— You must know that even though those who participated in the soundtrack work have signed a non-disclosure agreement in advance, this kind of agreement has always only protected the main things from being circulated at will, but it is impossible to keep all the details It's a secret—but even so, there are still countless musicians and composers in the industry who have great doubts about the quality of the soundtrack of the whole play.

To put it simply, Li Qian's age, experience, achievements, and status are not enough to give people enough confidence that he can do a good job in the soundtrack of this drama.

Although people in the industry who participated in the soundtrack work of this play, including composers such as Lu Shuming (Cheng Suping's mother), have given great affirmation to the soundtrack and lyrics creation of this play, and this play Feng Yumin, the chief producer and chief director of the show, also repeatedly emphasized in an interview that he firmly believes that Minghu Culture and Li Qian can do a good job in soundtrack and songwriting for this play, but it's useless, I haven't seen the real thing , Before you hear it with your own ears, you should doubt it, but you still doubt it!

And now, finally, the show is going to air.

Regardless of what he praised, praised, questioned, or slandered, everything will finally come to light.

So it is conceivable that almost the entire music circle is collectively paying attention to the launch of the first episode of this TV series. The soundtrack is completely conclusive, but the overall style and ideas must have come out, and it is already possible for experts to get a glimpse of the leopard.

In particular, the theme song and ending song of this drama must be released!

Moreover, if this drama is relatively close to the original work, many people speculate that in the first episode, it should be three knots in Taoyuan-everyone who is familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms and this book knows that this episode is the whole story. The starting point and starting point of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so an episode is probably inevitable!

Well, this time, there must be three songs appearing in the first episode alone.

Now let's see what level Li Qian can show!

…………

Because the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" itself is already a very popular topic among the people, and Li Qian is a very popular and popular character, so Li Qian played the role of Sun Ce in the play, and Li Qian was in charge of the production of the whole TV series. The composition of the theme song, episode and soundtrack has long been very public news.

For Li Qian's fans, fans, and his "friends", looking forward to Li Qian's music, looking forward to Li Qian's Sun Ce, has also become a very important part of looking forward to the broadcast of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". reason.

On the day when the TV series was broadcast, on June 29th, before 4 pm, in the music section of the online communities of Sohu.com and Feixun.com, in the sub-section of "Li Qianjiao", each had a subsection called "Looking at the Three Kingdoms". , listen to Li Qian" was highlighted and pinned to the top.

And in just three or four hours, before the first episode of the TV series aired, the number of replies to this post has reached more than 300 floors and more than 400 floors, and the number of views has exceeded 10,000!
