Chapter 348: Even Though It’s Late, the Time Dance Troupe
It was freezing cold in Peiping in January, and a group of mainland music bigwigs were as cold as their grandchildren in a tent with drafts on all sides. At this time, Xu Chen felt particularly comfortable.
Um.
Looking at all the big names in the music industry, they are either very old, or the slightly less impressive and younger Senior Sister Song is 15 years older than Xu Chen. Sooner or later, Xu Chen will be the winner!
Li Changhe was old and had weak kidneys. He was wrapped in a green army cotton-padded jacket and his teeth were still chattering from the cold. Looking at Xu Chen's thin Chinese tunic suit and energetic appearance, he sighed: "It's good to be young. Back then, I was about the same age as Xu Chen." , I wear a white mandarin jacket in the winter, but that’s no longer possible, I’m old.”
Li Changhe's emotion instantly started the conversation among the big guys. He looked at Xu Chen, who was sitting next to Senior Sister Song. He was conspicuously tight and the youngest, and all the topics revolved around him.
Wang Jieshi sang a prairie pastoral song without any politeness: "Old Li, please stop talking so much about yourself. At Xu Chen's age, no one can do well. We are all old."
"I can't bear to be honest. What's that... called osteoporosis in the elderly? I can't get out of bed. I'm not afraid of your laughter. I didn't expect that I could wet the bed." Wu Yan scolded Dantou.
Famous works include Dongfanghong, who is a famous figure in the mainland music scene, but has no temper. He sits on his legs and stares, not caring about the exposure of embarrassing things.
There are big guys taking the lead.
Suddenly.
Big bosses in the Chinese music scene couldn't stop complaining. Some said that peeing in the morning wets shoes, some said that nannies were not allowed to eat sweets, and some said that ballroom dancing was so difficult that they had never been isolated in their lives and were disliked by the elderly singing and dancing troupe.
After talking for a long time, the big guys looked at Xu Chen. The young man sat next to Senior Sister Song. They looked at Qi Qi and sighed in unison: "It's great to be young."
At this moment.
If Xu Chen sang, "The sunset is infinitely old, but it's almost dusk," he probably wouldn't be able to survive in the mainland music scene.
honestly.
The titles of these big guys in the music industry are all very tight. Li Changhe, the most ordinary person, has a lot of committee members, honorary XX, and deputy director X, but he has a very easy-going temper.
Xu Chen didn't have a bad temperament, he had a junior attitude, he was modest, and he had the legacy of a polite gentleman.
Senior Sister Song was wearing a thin evening dress, and the cotton coat could not withstand the cold. Xu Chen sat next to her, leaning against the strong young man, and Senior Sister Song was warm.
I thought to myself, after all, the young man is as hot as a stove. Looking at Xu Chen's modesty, Senior Sister Song smiled and said: "Junior Brother Xu, don't be proud of your achievements in front of seniors. I didn't read in the newspaper that Junior Brother Xu's new The album was released in Asia, and 800 million people listened to it on the first day.”
"It's amazing." Senior Sister Song glanced at Xu Chen and thought to herself that he was really a young man, approaching Nuan Nuan.
The big guys looked surprised,
What is the concept of 800 million people! In 2000, China's fifth national census revealed that China's total population was 1.3 billion, and 800 million people listened, which is approximately 70% of China's total population!
This number is something that the big guys can’t even imagine. Moreover, according to Xiao Song’s wishes, Xu Chen’s album will be released in Asia. Hey! The highest achievement of an artist!
Go abroad!
A hero comes from a boy! Many big bosses couldn't help but look more solemn when they met Xu Chen offline for the first time, and did not look down on Xu Chen because of his young age.
Li Changhe rubbed his hands because of the cold, and chatted with a smile: "When I listened to Comrade Xiao Xu's album Tianyi, I listened for a while. Comrade Xiao Xu's new songs in the album Qianbaidu and Blue and White Porcelain are all our traditional Chinese culture and can be displayed internationally. The Chinese style is really amazing.”
Big boss.
Almost everyone has a dream to show off their prestige in the world and promote Chinese culture. Mainland academic music is rooted in the local area and contains the essence of Chinese culture. Popular music is all Western music, and the aesthetics follow Western trends.
When Li Changhe said this, the big guys naturally talked about how to solve the dilemma of my country's traditional music under the impact of pop music.
One word from you, one word from me.
Xu Chen listened to the lectures with an open mind, which was valuable spiritual food. Li Changhe, who was the least qualified, was a distinguished professor at the Conservatory of Music and a vocal expert. Their musical ideas were inaccessible to ordinary people.
Discussion comes, discussion goes.
Li Changhe slapped his thigh fiercely, pointed at Xu Chen and said: "Let's talk about it, isn't there a ready-made case? Comrade Xu's new album combines pop music and traditional Chinese culture quite well. Why don't we invite you? Comrade Xu, teach us old guys a lesson."
This proposal was unanimously approved by the big guys.
after all.
Xu Chen's achievements in the field of pop music are widely recognized. In the field of traditional music, he also has works such as "Tongtian Gang Kuo Kuo Kuo" and "My Father and Mother" movie theme songs, both of which are traditional music masterpieces.
In the entire mainland music scene, Xu Chen is the most qualified to express his opinions.
Li Changhe's proposal coincided with Xu Chen's idea. Xu Chen was preparing to delve deeply into the academic field of the mainland music scene. The purpose was to gain orthodox say in the mainland music scene.
The standard of pop music was too low. On a certain show, Da Nazi, the oldest singer in the mainland music scene at that time, met Senior Sister Song and said humbly that people who sing pop songs are generally not as good as them (Senior Sister Song) and they are called artists.
Senior Sister Song said domineeringly, "No, the reason why I call me teacher instead of her (Nazi) is that she is older and more mature than her (Nazi), and her behavior is more dignified and generous."
The boy was squeezed out by Senior Sister Song, and the two sides sang famous songs to each other. The poor boy was crushed to pieces by Senior Sister Song.
Um,
Xu Chen didn't want to run into someone from the mainland music academy one day and be mercilessly mocked in public. He had to show his cards. He stopped pretending. In addition to being a pop music leader, I am also a singer! An artist!
I'll ask you! Do you accept it? If not, you should not be in the mainland music scene!
Xu Chen did not hide his shortcomings. He expounded his understanding and ideas on the combination of Chinese and Western music, and the inheritance and promotion of traditional music in the future, without showing any fear.
He was professional in music concepts. He had dabbled in Western music and Chinese music all over the world.
He was talking with saliva flying.
His arm was soft and tender. Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and glanced subconsciously. Most of Sister Song's delicate body was leaning on his arm. Xu Chen's heart trembled and he complained quietly in his heart.
Although Sister Song still had her charm, Xiao Xu wanted to live a few years in peace and stability. Da-me-da-me-me, he quietly retreated a little, and Sister Song's head was slightly lowered.
Glancing at Xu Chen, he thought, Junior Brother Xu is shy? He couldn't help but smile.
Fortunately.
The big guys were all thinking about Xu Chen's words, and didn't notice the trick between Xu Chen and Senior Sister Song at all. Wang Jieshi came to his senses and prepared to ask Xu Chen about his confusion.
At this time.
The convertible was opened, and the CCTV staff politely said that the evening party was opening, and asked the teachers to go to the stage and prepare to sing on stage.
The evening party at the Millennium Monument was the top priority, and no one dared to delay it at all, so the question about Xu Chen was immediately abandoned.
Xu Chen followed the large group and came to the stage waiting area of the Millennium Monument.
At this time.
The night of Peking gradually darkened, but the Millennium Monument was not dark. The brilliant lights illuminated the sky, sprinkled with colorful colors, and colorful fireworks banged and bloomed in various shapes.
The performance at the Millennium Monument was broadcast live by CCTV. At the same time, citizens of Peking came to watch the ceremony with their families, full of laughter and joy.
Xu Chen was in this vision and joy of the millennium. Even though he knew the situation of the next twenty years, he couldn't help but feel excited, just like hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
He looked at the monument of the Millennium Monument and murmured, Goodbye 1999! Hello 2000! My era is finally coming!
Senior Sister Song has always been by Xu Chen's side.
Perhaps it was Xu Chen's young body temperature, or perhaps Xu Chen was neither humble nor overbearing in front of the big guys. In short, Senior Sister Song felt that Junior Brother Xu was a little different from before.
Listening to Xu Chen say that his era was finally coming, Senior Sister Song glanced at Xu Chen in surprise, thinking that Junior Brother Xu's ambition was not ten thousand feet, but a thousand feet.
Her eyes stayed on Xu Chen's faint smile, and Senior Sister Song thought, maybe Junior Brother Xu didn't brag?
The evening party at the Millennium Monument.
Xu Chen sang "As Wish", which is almost a standard song for official evening parties. It is really too f*cking flattering... Ugh, too f*cking appropriate!
The evening party ended.
A mysterious security personnel notified the evening party working group to select a few active and progressive personnel to follow him to meet the old man. Well, the guild president wants to meet him.
The news came down.
The evening party working group was enthusiastic. The big guys didn't care about honors and unanimously recommended Xu Chen. Xu Chen certainly didn't refuse. Together with his good senior sister, he met the guild president.
The guild president heard about Xu Chen's story, praised him a few words, and told Xu Chen to promote Chinese traditional culture and set a good example. The future belongs to young people.
The Century Altar evening party ended.
The 2000 Spring Festival Gala is coming soon. Xu Chen's Spring Festival Gala performance program is naturally As Wish, and he is about to sing until he is sick.
Before the Spring Festival Gala.
Xu Chen is so busy.
It seemed that news media all over the country wanted to interview him, and invitations to domestic TV programs came like snowflakes.
Xu Chen took a break from his busy schedule to take a look.
Among the programs, the lowest-profile ones were the flagship program of Hubei Satellite TV, Happy Camp. The highest-profile one was an interview with a certain news broadcast, which followed Xu Chen to film his daily study.
Well, positive, positive daily life.
Xu Chen ruthlessly rejected Happy Camp, saying that it was too low-profile and unworthy of him as the Asian pop king.
News broadcasts could not be pushed.
After a few days of contact, Xu Chen negotiated with the news broadcast and chose the Huaxia Conservatory of Music as the recording location for the program.
That's right.
Although Xu Chen is the Asian pop music king, a famous Chinese folk music tycoon, a speaker in the mainland entertainment industry, a member of the publicity committee of the Music Association, a tyrant of Ziyu Villa, and an ordinary progressive young man who likes to farm.
He still has to take the final exam of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music!
Otherwise, he would fail the course. The most serious consequence of failing a course in college may be that he cannot find a job. If he cannot find a job, he cannot get married. If he cannot get married, Xu Chen's life will be over!
On the day of the final exam, the snow was flying in Beijing, and the Huaxia Conservatory of Music was covered in silver, which was particularly charming.
The leaders of the college. They had received news early that Xu Chen, a freshman in the college, had achieved outstanding results and was interviewed by the news broadcast. Huaxia Conservatory of Music was proud of it.
As usual, a festive red banner: [Warmly congratulate our student Xu Chen's album for its great success in Asia! ]
How huge!
Please watch the VCR!
The students of Huaxia Conservatory of Music had received news early that they should pay attention to their manners and repeatedly warned not to block the way. As a result, the final exam day really came.
The daring students ignored the final exam and waited at the school gate early in the morning. At ten o'clock, a low-key black car stopped at the school gate.
Xu Chen did not hold an umbrella. He braved the snow and walked towards the folk music department of the college with his hands in his pockets.
The school gate.
The director of the Chinese Music Department of Huaxia Conservatory of Music, the vice president of the college, and Xu Chen's pipa tutor Zhou Wang all greeted him at the school gate. There were CCTV cameras, and both sides were a bit artificial.
The vice president of the college praised Xu Chen's outstanding achievements in the international arena on behalf of the school. The director of the Chinese Music Department, on behalf of the college's Chinese Music Department, focused on praising the folk music elements of Xu Chen's albums Qianbaidu and Blue and White Porcelain.
Where is Zhou Wang.
The old lady, with silver hair and plain clothes, did not praise her disciple, but instead sternly emphasized that if Xu Chen failed the final exam, she would punish him severely regardless of whether Xu Chen was a big star or not!
CCTV reporters took this scene. Strict teachers produce excellent students. Xu Chen's current achievements are inseparable from the earnest teachings of his mentor.
Entering the school.
Admiring the beautiful snow scenery of the college, Xu Chen studied at Huaxia Conservatory of Music. He did not take any formal classes, but he had a lot of honors, and he was a city three-good student!
It is hard to guarantee that netizens will dig up his information and say that his academic qualifications are fake, so Xu Chen must not fail the final exam, which will damage his glorious image!
On the way.
He was blocked by classmates from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music. The leaders of the conservatory were there, and the young people tried their best to control their excitement, but their excitement was beyond words.
They kept asking Xu Chen questions, asking him whether the Korean and Japanese music scene was really stronger than the Chinese music scene. The most outrageous thing was that a classmate asked him if he really knew the Tianshuang Fist. If he did, he would show it!
He was so stupid to watch the situation.
Xu Chen accepted everyone who came and signed a lot of names. He said, "Thank you very much for the enthusiasm of the students, but the final exam is related to our efforts for a whole school year. Let's go back to take the exam. If you want to see me, we will be in the school auditorium later to exchange music."
There was a symposium in the auditorium later. Suddenly, the students dispersed in twos and threes. Some were very stubborn and insisted on following Xu Chen. They were not afraid of being punished. Xu Chen had no choice but to acquiesce.
The classroom of the Department of Folk Music.
There are not many students in the Department of Folk Music of Huaxia Conservatory of Music. The lecture hall is full. They all come to see Xu Chen's final exam.
The final exam of the Department of Folk Music is very simple.
It is to play music, ranging from level 1 to level 10. Levels 1-4 are elementary, levels 5-7 are intermediate, and levels 8-10 are advanced. Graduates of the Department of Folk Music of Huaxia Conservatory of Music have advanced levels.
For freshmen who have just enrolled, the requirements are relatively generous, and they can reach the intermediate level.
In addition to professional exams, cultural exams are equally important. It just happened that Xu Chen's professional exam gave him the opportunity to show his god!
Xu Chen has special treatment, so of course he has special requirements. The department requires him to reach an advanced performance level. Zhou Wang's requirements are very harsh, asking him to compose pipa music.
Take a deep breath.
Xu Chen's fingertips are flexible, playing the pipa in his arms. The pipa has two tones, civil and military, and military. Representative works include Ten Sides of Ambush and Qin Wang Entering the Battle. The golden swords and iron horses, the killing spirit, can be called the martial arts in the music!
The civil tone, representative pieces include Spring River Moon Night and Zhaojun Going Out of the Frontier, noisy and mixed playing, big and small pearls falling on the jade plate, desolate and graceful, and tears.
The biggest difference between Chinese ancient musical instruments and Western musical instruments is that Chinese music pays great attention to [artistic conception], and the performance level is all before the skill.
Is it good or bad. Even ordinary people can know it with their eyes closed!
The piece Xu Chen played is called Pipa Language.
Pipa Language is the work of Pipa Master Lin Hai. Master Lin Hai is the most well-known folk music master among ordinary Chinese audiences. He knows thousands of artistic conceptions of Pipa and created Pipa Language.
A piece of Pipa Language, it tells the thousands of artistic conceptions of Pipa.
Xu Chen's favorite Pipa music, Wenqu Pipa Yin and Wuqu Bawang Xijia, were only recorded for CCTV broadcast. After all, they have to face ordinary audiences across the country, so the threshold of Pipa language is lower.
Under the CCTV camera.
Xu Chen closed his eyes, calmed down, and slowly played Pipa language.
The sound was like a clear spring flowing over a stone, and the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the graceful and beautiful artistic conception splashed with the sound of the Pipa. The first section was graceful and graceful, the second section was sad and lingering, the third section was chic and open-minded, and the fourth section suddenly looked back, the lights were dim.
Xu Chen was immersed in the artistic conception of Pipa language.
The students of the Department of Folk Music had different expressions with the sound of the Pipa, and the whole classroom was filled with no other sounds.
The more Zhou Wang listened, the more he nodded in approval, with a smug look on his face. He whispered to the head of the Chinese Music Department beside him, "You are so envious, aren't you? My disciple is really good. With this Pipa Language, Xiaochen is no ordinary person in our Chinese folk music circle."
The head of the Chinese Music Department was so envious that he said, "Old Zhou, you said Xu Chen is your disciple, what can you teach him?"
Hum╭(╯^╰)╮
If it weren't for your good luck, Zhou Wang, I could also be Xu Chen's teacher, well, in name, and he could be my teacher in private!
Zhou Wang glanced at the head and said lightly, "Xiaochen has such talent. I'm afraid there are not many teachers in our domestic Pipa circle who can teach him."
The news staff of CCTV News Network was a little regretful.
The radio equipment really can't perfectly restore the Pipa Language. Fortunately, with the Pipa Language, the news broadcast report undoubtedly has a lot more to watch.
Afternoon, the auditorium of the Chinese Conservatory of Music.
The hallway was packed with people, all coming to attend Xu Chen's music lecture. This scale was beyond the reach of professors at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music.
The news of Xu Chen's new creation of Pipa Language spread throughout the Huaxia Conservatory of Music.
It was different from the impression of a conservatory of music by ordinary people.
Huaxia Conservatory of Music is not a place to cultivate pop music stars, or in other words, pop music stars are not something that can be cultivated just by wanting to cultivate them.
Huaxia Conservatory of Music cultivates ordinary music teachers, studies music concepts, and enriches the soil of Chinese music.
To create a song that will be remembered for generations.
It is the dream of almost all students of Huaxia Conservatory of Music. Secondly, to be able to play the music created by the masters and become a Chinese music master.
Looking at Xu Chen at the center of the stage.
He has now achieved the first and second achievements. Apart from saying God, the students of Huaxia Conservatory of Music can't say the second word.
There is a strong demand for Xu Chen to play Pipa Language.
Xu Chen can only play Pipa Language, and then he announced his new plan - the folk music revitalization plan.
Xu Chen plans to select twelve outstanding students from Huaxia Conservatory of Music and Central Conservatory of Music to form a women's music team. It is planned to bring the women's music team to perform in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States in the next five years.
It is our responsibility to promote Chinese music!
Of course.
If you insist on saying that Xu Chen is organizing the Time Dance Troupe, Xu Chen will not refute it. He has the boss's approval and Huaxia has approved it!
The news was announced.
Suddenly, there was a surging noise from the audience. This news was indeed very exciting. With Xu Chen's support, the future of the women's music group must be brilliant and bright.
That's right.
Why must it be women, Xu Chen, do you really favor women over men! Damn! The male students spat angrily!
It's a routine in the underworld.
Xu Chen talked a lot about Chinese music under the camera of the joint broadcast. Our Chinese music is not weaker than Western music. It is our responsibility to promote Chinese folk music!
The lecture ended.
Dean Jin of Huaxia Conservatory of Music heard the news and came to Xu Chen with a cane in the heavy snow. The matter of the women's music group has a very big effect on Chinese folk music or Huaxia Conservatory of Music.
As long as it is done well.
It is clear who will win and who will lose between Huaxia Conservatory of Music and Central Conservatory of Music.
Professor Jin pulled Xu Chen's arm and said in a deep voice: "Xu boy, why are you so ruthless? Our Huaxia Conservatory of Music has taken good care of you. Our school can get 12 people, so don't bother the Alto Music. Don't worry, I will do this myself. I promise to do it well for you and make you satisfied."
Xu Chen sweated: "Mr. Jin, I am not ruthless. I plan to make this women's music group a world-class choir. After all, it is to promote our Huaxia music. Without Alto Music, I am afraid that there will be a lot of troubles."
Dean Jin is old and shrewd, so he naturally saves the logic and negotiates the conditions in a big way: "Okay, you are a shrewd boy. If you want to do something, don't be afraid of it. If someone dares to do something bad, I will help you. 12 people, my requirements are not high. Our Huaxia Conservatory of Music needs 10."
"6." Xu Chen had a headache.
"9."
"Mr. Jin, 7! Our Huaxia Conservatory of Music has 7, and our Zhongyin has 5."
Xu Chen didn't want to bully the old man, so he said, "Mr. Jin, I think our school library is not very decent, can I donate a library?"
Dean Jin stared at Xu Chen, laughing so hard that his white beard flew: "Okay, 7 is 7, Xiaochen, it's not easy for Grandpa Jin to be the dean, he always asks me for this and that, and I have flesh and blood on my palms and backs of my hands, tell me, who can I let down."
Dean Jin played the victim, and made a miraculous turn: "Or , let's repair the school gate. Our school gate is really not worthy of Xiaochen's alma mater. "
Xu Chen sweated: "Okay, as long as you are happy, Mr. Jin."
President Jin nodded with satisfaction and muttered: "Xiaochen, Huayin will never forget you. Recently, the Music Association has a job title evaluation. Aren't you the external liaison officer of the Music Association? I will contact old friends now to add more burdens to your shoulders, Xiaochen."
Xu Chen: "I can handle it! I can handle it very much!"
The news broadcast was broadcast soon. (End of this chapter)
