Chapter 124 National Style Ceremony, a Fan Determines the Outcome (5000 Words)

Although "囍" and "大鱼" are completely different styles. Reading

But because Shu Yan sang and Su Chen wrote the lyrics and composed the music, many people also found similarities and commonalities.

For example, both contain strong oriental folk music and classical colors.

There are many national instruments and singing styles in the arrangement of "囍".

"大鱼" also has a long flute sound, but the oriental classical charm is stronger. In the words of some music critics, "大鱼" is a song like a poem".

The two songs with oriental style appeared in succession, which made the musicians very excited.

A high-end club.

The five brothers are gathering here.

While drinking tea, they discussed the two songs "囍" and "大鱼".

"It's obvious that the creation of these two songs is related and directed." Huang Wenshan put down his teacup and said, "'囍' presents oriental instruments and singing, and '大鱼' goes a step further and is composed directly from the artistic conception level."

"But both are intended to express the rich connotation of our Chinese music."

The other four old-class song fathers also nodded in agreement.

Li Zongsheng thought for a while and said, "They are all Chinese classical or ethnic elements plus popular elements."

"They have both the connotation and popularity of Chinese beauty."

"How do you think these two songs should be defined?"

"New folk music." Luo Qun said.

"Big Fish seems to have gone beyond the scope of folk music." Lin Xi finally spoke, "I think it is most appropriate to call it new national music."

"New national music?" Huang Zhan poured 85-degree water into the teapot. This temperature of water is just right for brewing Pu'er black tea. "The scope of national music is too broad and too vague. I think the word national style is the most appropriate. Chinese national style music, like Su Chen's clothing design, don't people call it national style?"

As soon as Huang Zhan said this, everyone's expressions became wonderful.

"Wonderful!" Li Zongsheng slapped his thigh, "Why didn't I think of it? These two words are so appropriate!"

The five brothers quickly reached a consensus.

In this way,

the new style of music "created" by Su Chen was called national style.

"囍" and "Big Fish" were naturally classified as national style.

Although the definition of "national style" discussed by the five brothers is still very vague, as long as it contains Chinese traditional and classical elements and presents Chinese style, it can be called national style.

Like national music, it covers too wide a range.

But the word "Guofeng" has become popular since that day, becoming a hot topic and a new creative direction for musicians.

"Guofeng! Hahaha, I like these two words."

"Su Dad is awesome, he actually created a new type of music."

"It's not called creation. There were many songs with classical and traditional elements in China before, but they were not popular and did not attract much attention. The appearance of "囍" and "大鱼" made us re-examine Chinese music. "

"Anyway, Su Dad triggered our exploration, and then the term "Guofeng music" appeared, didn't it?"

"Hahaha, Su Dad led the trend of Guofeng in the fashion design industry, and now he is also leading the trend of Guofeng in the music circle."

"I like Guofeng music very much!! Song fathers, songwriters, come on and write! The more the better."

The term "Guofeng music" was gradually recognized and accepted.

In the following period of time, the exploration and creation of "Guofeng" music gradually increased.

But these Guofeng creation methods are very different.

Some add a little traditional instruments, and some add a little classical singing, which are also called Guofeng.

So the quality is uneven.

There are many, but too few fine works.

The proposal of "national style" has attracted widespread attention in the music industry.

At the same time, CCTV News also reported on this new form of music and highly affirmed Su Chen's creation.

At the same time, it also encouraged musicians to explore this new form of music.

CCTV-15 is a special music station.

"National Music Festival" is the program they planned.

Now "National Music Festival" has been broadcast for three seasons.

The fourth season is also being prepared.

In the conference room.

The team of the "National Music Festival" program is meeting.

The format of the past three seasons is similar, and the classic repertoire and classic instruments are basically presented.

When the second season was broadcast, the ratings reached a peak.

Then the ratings declined in the third season.

The reason is that the format of the program has not been innovative. The audience has seen the instruments and music in the first two seasons, lacking freshness and appeal, and thus the ratings are weak.

Against this background, the fourth season of "National Music Festival" urgently needs innovation.

Break the shackles.

But how to innovate is a problem that the whole team is worried about.

More than a dozen plans were proposed, and then rejected one by one.

"This plan is just a change of name, the audience is not stupid, it won't work."

"It still lacks enough freshness."

"I think our minds are not open yet, let go of all constraints, think hard, and brainstorm."

At this moment, in the conference room.

The latest plan was rejected by director Qi Song again.

The huge conference room fell into silence.

There is still one month before the broadcast of "National Music Festival". In the past, at this time, the program has entered the intense post-production preparation stage.

But this year, even the program plan has not been finalized.

"Director Qi, we can't put it off any longer. It's really too late for the fourth season." Assistant Director Bai Yang said, "The seventh option is acceptable. How about we use the seventh option?"

However, Qisong shook his head very firmly: "No! The third season has proven that following the old path will not work. We have to find a new program format."

"If it's too late, the broadcast will be postponed at worst."

"Bai Yang, I know what you mean. But I think we can't be careless, either don't do it, or do our best. Do you understand?"

Bai Yang sighed helplessly.

Qi Song is good at everything.

It’s love that is more serious.

Too persistent.

This is his strength and his weakness.

Bai Yang knew he couldn't change, so he said, "Since you have made up your mind, let's brainstorm and discuss?"

In the following time, team members came up with creative ideas and ideas one after another.

The key to brainstorming is not to evaluate whether ideas and ideas are reasonable and feasible during the brainstorming process.

Just think about it and you'll be fine.

Write down all your creative ideas.

Only evaluate and screen last.

Unknowingly, the time reached noon, and suddenly the music director Zhang Rou had a flash of inspiration.

"Director Qi, I have a bold idea." Zhang Rou said excitedly.

"What? Say it quickly." For some reason, Qi Song felt that Zhang Rou's proposal would be explosive and unprecedented.

"Hasn't Qilin Talent led a new wave of Chinese music recently?" Zhang Rou couldn't help but speed up her speech, as if she wanted to express her thoughts as quickly as possible, "So why should we stick to the word Chinese music?" What about the fourth season? We can definitely change the name to "National Style". On the one hand, it follows the trend of the times, and on the other hand, it breaks through the traditional Chinese music."

"Under the word "national style", we can not only retain some of the original aspects of the program, but also expand the program into the category of pop music."

"Just like Chinese folk songs, they are both traditional and popular. Isn't this what the public likes?"

"You can see it by looking at the popularity of "囍" and "Big Fish"."

"In addition, we are a CCTV program. If we change the name to "National Style Ceremony", it can also play a role in promoting the creation of Chinese style. Isn't our program just to promote and carry forward Chinese music? National style is also the origin of Chinese music. Part of it. It coincides with our original intention of creating the program.”

"If we can invite songwriters like Qilin Talent to create Chinese-style music... I believe that this program will definitely become a hit!"

The more Zhang Rou spoke, the more excited she became.

The expressions of Qi Song, Bai Yang and others also changed as they listened.

Delighted, excited and wonderful!

Qi Song felt as if Patriarch Bodhi had hit him three times on the head. He suddenly became enlightened and was extremely excited, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Excellent idea!"

"That's it! That's it! What do you think?"

Bai Yang said: "It has to be it."

The rest of the team agreed.

"Finally found a breakthrough."

"Then in the next time, we will work hard to come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible, and then we will work overtime to strive for the show to be broadcast as scheduled."

"good!"

Suddenly the entire program team became busy.

…

Su Chen also pays attention to recent trends in the music industry.

What he didn't expect was that Wu Lao actually mentioned the word "national style". Sure enough, Wu Lao's market sense was sensitive enough.

He also listened to the recent emergence of Chinese-style music.

how to say.

There are heavy traces of imitation.

Most of them imitate "囍" and "Big Fish", but they can't achieve the quality and height of these two songs, so it sounds a bit inconsistent.

Su Chen wanted to listen to Wu Lao's Chinese style works.

It's a pity that Wu Lao has not released any new works recently.

"囍" and "Big Fish" actually led the new trend of national style... This was something Su Chen did not expect. At least there must be an epoch-making work like "East Wind Breaks", right?

This national trend is coming faster than expected.

Su Xiaoxi is listening to "Big Fish".

"Uncle can actually change his voice." Su Xiaoxi was amazed. When she heard the last singing part, she also followed suit.

"Dad, what kind of fish is the big fish? Is it a dolphin?" Su Xiaoxi asked.

"There is a very big fish called Kun. Its body is thousands of miles long..."

"Wow, how about thousands of miles?" Su Xiaoxi didn't have much idea about thousands of miles, "then our family can't fit it in?"

"The entire Demon City can't fit in it," Su Chen said.

Surprised Su Xiaoxi fell into deep thought.

Then he asked a shocking question.

"How are we going to eat such a big fish? I, my parents, my grandparents, my uncle... we can't finish it in our lifetime, right?"

Su Chen:! ! !

The tea in my mouth almost spit out.

Su Xiaoxi, you are a foodie.

Why do you think of eating?

Just like your mother...

The circuitry of the brain is really weird.

Before Su Chen could answer, Su Xiaoxi added: "You can cut it into small pieces, dry them into small dried fish, and then sell them to children, and we will make a fortune."

"Otherwise it will definitely rot if you don't finish it."

"Xiao Xi is so smart." Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

Little clever guy! Very business savvy.

A song that was originally quite beautiful became delicious through Su Xiaoxi's mouth, "Then daddy will cook a big fish for noon today."

"Great!"

Su Xiaoxi's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.

After lunch, Su Chen received a call from Xu Qing, a fashion designer apprentice.

After confirming the master-disciple relationship, Xu Qing occasionally contacted Su Chen, but there was no in-depth communication.

"Teacher, I want to ask you a question." Xu Qing said.

"What?" Su Chen asked.

"Well, I'm preparing for the China International Fashion Week recently, and I've designed a series of clothing with national beauty and fragrance. The design draft looks good, but after the models put it on, I always feel like something is missing."

"Can you help me take a look?"

Xu Qing asked Su Chen for help.

"Send it to me for a look." Su Chen agreed.

You can gain "teacher style points" by guiding apprentices. If you accumulate enough teacher style to upgrade to the teacher level, the cash back can be doubled in the future.

Su Chen was very happy.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qing sent a video and her design draft of the "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" series.

The design draft gives people a stunning feeling.

Can't see any problem.

The style is still Chinese style, because it is taken from the "national beauty and heavenly fragrance", and many Chinese classical elements are added to the design.

Su Chen could see the shadow of cheongsam in it.

Perhaps she was inspired by Su Chen's last set of "Purple Dream Orchid". As for the color of her clothing, she adopted a solid color gradient.

It gives people a sense of déjà vu that is always appropriate with light makeup and heavy makeup.

The design draft is quite perfect.

The video is a catwalk display of the model after putting it on.

The feeling of missing something suddenly came over me.

"What's the problem?" Su Chen couldn't find the reason for a while.

Just like Xu Qing said.

Relying on the designer's intuition, he can feel the weirdness and incongruity behind the clothes.

Su Chen played the video over and over again.

After about five or six times.

He finally found the reason!

The problem is with the model!

When a model walks on the catwalk, a very important feature is waving her hands!

That's right!

Just wave your hand!

Walk out of a turbulent sense of confidence.

This form of catwalk originated from the West.

If the clothes are very modern and worn on the models, there will be no problem if they are used on the catwalk in this way.

But now it is clothing with a strong national style and classical charm.

Do ancient Chinese women wave their hands when walking?

Won't!

Ancient Chinese women, or modern women who are deeply influenced by culture, pay attention to dignity and elegance.

Wear Chinese-style classical clothing and show it in a Western catwalk style...

That sense of dignity and elegance disappeared instantly.

After all, Chinese women are relatively reserved and gentle.

Although there are many strong and powerful women who walk with wind.

But those are the minority after all.

Under the influence of five thousand years of Chinese culture, traditional Chinese femininity has still been preserved.

"So they don't wave their hands?" Su Chen imagined them not moving their hands.

Even stranger!

Might as well put up your hands.

How to solve the hand problem?

It's not true when it's presented, and it's not true when it's not presented.

It's really difficult.

Su Chen's mind was spinning rapidly and he had a small brainstorm in his mind.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her, and she thought of the numerous movies and TV shows she had seen on Earth, in which the boudoir women and ladies of the world all had a fan in their hand.

In the 1987 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", girls such as Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai also had a round fan.

It's both gentle and subtle, yet charming.

Sister Bao is holding a round fan, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, and her expression is like autumn water.

Lin Daiyu holds a round fan in her hand, as quiet as a delicate flower shining on the water, and moving like a weak willow supporting the wind.

In the TV series "The Legend of White Snake" that has deep memories in my childhood, Bai Suzhen, played by Zhao Yazhi, often holds a round fan in her hand.

There is also the character "Xiao Qing" played by Maggie Cheung in the movie "Green Snake", who also lightly holds a round fan and frowns slightly, with a lingering aftertaste of anger and resentment.

Wang Zuxian looked at Xu Xian, the shot with his face half-covered by a fan was so beautiful that his bones went numb.

Thinking of these, Su Chen instantly knew what to do.

"As long as these models hold round fans and their hands are not empty, the problem can be solved perfectly." Su Chen was pleasantly surprised.

I have a round fan in my hand.

Don't wave your hands, be dignified and gentle.

It's not impossible to move, it's smart and charming.

Thinking of this, he immediately returned to the workshop, drew a few classical-style round fans, and then sent the design draft to Xu Qing.

"As long as the model holds a round fan, the strange feeling will disappear immediately." Su Chen dialed Xu Qing's number.

When Xu Qing heard this, she felt like she was seeing the moonlight through the clouds.

It's like an enlightenment.

Extremely delighted.

"Teacher! You are really a genius!" Xu Qing never expected that the problem would come from the model's hands.

In her previous designs, she often had deviations between the design draft and the model's upper body and back effects.

But I never figured out the reason.

After Su Chen's prompting, she felt like she had realized it!

"Teacher's style value +1"

"Teacher's style value +1"

"Teacher's style value +1"

Suchen received constant feedback.

But Xu Qing admired Su Chen even more and thought to herself, Teacher, why did you get married at such a young age? How wonderful it would be if you were single!

There is a fatal attraction in Su Chen.

Xu Qing was a little helpless.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Qing patted her face repeatedly.

She actually became a nymphomaniac because of her teacher's amazing talent.

Can't!

After slapping herself awake, Xu Qing looked at the round fan designed by Su Chen. The fan surface was left blank, dotted with flowers, birds, insects and fish with rich meanings. Xu Qing couldn't help but marvel at each design.

She was deeply fascinated by Su Chen's unique oriental aesthetics.

There was no time to find a workshop to produce these unique round fans, so she hastily bought some as a substitute, and then asked the models to wear the "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" series of clothes and walk the runway with round fans in their hands.

Sure enough, the effect was different in an instant.

The strange feeling suddenly disappeared.

Lotus flowers bloomed at every step, graceful and elegant.

People, clothes, and round fans, the three formed a harmonious and harmonious beauty.

Natural.

Classical and elegant.

It really is a fan that determines everything.

The round fan became the magic touch of this set of designs, just like the "Purple Dream Orchid" set designed by Su Chen at the beginning, with butterflies as embellishments, but it made people seem to smell the fragrance of flowers.

"The teacher is very good at using small objects to embellish and highlight the theme." Xu Qing had a new insight and quickly recorded it in the small notebook she carried with her.

You can really learn a lot from Su Chen.

Xu Qing was very happy.

In the next few days, Xu Qing was busy preparing for the Huaxia International Fashion Week.

With Su Chen's advice,

she believed that the "National Beauty" series of this fashion week would surely amaze everyone.

At the same time, the plan for CCTV's 15th "National Style Grand Ceremony" has also been finalized.

The official Weibo announced the news to the public.

"After a long period of discussion and polishing, the fourth season plan of "National Music Grand Ceremony" is officially released! And it is officially renamed "National Style Grand Ceremony"! Stay tuned!"
