rebirth of change

Chapter 2311 Nonsense and alertness

"...To put it simply, the primary consideration of popular music is market factors, and the artistry is secondary. This may also be an obstacle for popular music to be refined. From the perspective of the music system, Pop music is music developed on the basis of American popular music such as Ding Bang Lane music, blues, jazz, rock music, and Sol music. It has various styles and rich forms, and can generally refer to jazz, rock, soul, blues, ae, rap, hip-hop, disco, new age and other urbanized popular music born after the 20th century. The style and form of popular music in my country are mainly influenced by Europe and the United States, and some local styles have gradually formed on this basis..."

"Okay, that's all I'll say about pop music. It's a trick in front of everyone. I hope everyone will forgive me no matter what I say is right or not."

Although Chen Kangjie stopped, he mentioned almost all aspects of pop music's origin history, style characteristics, and system content.

This time, just like at the Capital Film Academy, after Chen Kangjie finished speaking, he also left a certain amount of time for him to communicate with teachers and students.The difference is that this time the host is not Chen Kangjie, but Vice President Xu of the Conservatory of Music.

From the actions of Vice President Xu, it seems that he has the best relationship with Jiao Yufu, because Jiao Yufu entrusted him with the responsibility of almost all the activities.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen Kangjie, for giving us a wonderful speech on pop music. After listening to his speech, I believe that many people have the same feeling of enlightenment as me, and let them realize that our vision is not big enough. So now we will leave the time and opportunity to everyone, if you have any interesting topics to communicate with Mr. Chen, you can raise your hand to signal me, I will randomly give the opportunity to those who are interested..."

There are so many people who are interested in communicating with Chen Kangjie. In autumn, the temperature in the capital has cooled a little, but it is still very hot during the day. Whether it is teachers or students, most of them are still wearing short sleeves.So looking down from the stage, a large piece of Bai Huahua's arms was waving heartily.

"Okay, the female student in front, what do you want to say?" Among the many enthusiastic people, Vice President Xu was the first to hit the tall girl in the first row.

"Mr. Chen... can I call you by your English name long like the students at the film school?" The girl stood up, flashing A pair of big eyes stared at Chen Kangjie.

"Why not? Of course, as far as I am concerned, I think that is very kind. Besides, I don't need to bear the pressure of the teacher. From the perspective of personality, if I want to be a teacher, I probably won't be a good teacher. You don't even need to say "you", just say "you"." Chen Kangjie said with a friendly smile.

Chen Kangjie's easy-going and self-deprecating not only made many people laugh, but also dispelled all the nervousness and worries of this girl.

It's strange to say that Chen Kangjie has this kind of charm. People who haven't come into contact with him think that he is superior and mysterious.But once in real contact with him, it is easy to have a sense of intimacy.Maybe this has something to do with Chen Kangjie's consistent low-key and normal-mindedness.

"Thank you, long, hello, I am a student of the Musicology Department of the Conservatory of Music. I just listened to your speech, which broadened my horizons a lot and changed my understanding of popular music from perceptual to rational. Then What I'm curious about is, since pop music has so many advantages and characteristics, and its history is not too short, can it be introduced into the classroom?" The girl nodded timidly and smiled, and then asked his question smoothly.

"Oh, as expected of the Department of Music, this question really confuses me." Chen Kangjie pretended to shake off the sweat on his forehead, but his smiling expression told everyone that he was actually not Not really being asked.

"Actually, the question of whether pop music can enter the classroom has existed for some years, both in the West and in China. Facts have proved that it is not a "no discussion" issue. And this discussion will never end, nor will it end. The final conclusion will never be reached. The reason is that "popular music" is not a scientific and accurate concept. As I said just now, popular music should be accurately commercial music. After clarifying the concept of "commercial music", we can get It is concluded that "commodity music" must not enter the classroom, while some excellent popular songs with high ideological and artistic quality can completely enter the classroom. Such as "Great China", "Everyone Oars and Opens a Big Boat", "Asian Heroes" , "Fifteen Moons and Sixteen Rounds", "What a Big Tree" and other songs, although they are sung in popular singing methods, their ideological and artistic qualities are not low. Such songs cannot be completely commercial music. Therefore, I think there is nothing wrong with including them in the classroom.” Chen Kangjie’s answer is well-founded and realistic, and he also gave examples. He answered more concisely and to the point.

Next, Vice President Xu named another girl.

This girl was more straightforward: "Hello long, although I am a piano major, I like and admire you very much. I think you are very amazing. Almost every song you create can arouse your attention. An irresistible whirlwind. As far as I know, you are far more famous and popular in the West, especially in the United States, than in China. Does this have something to do with the origin of pop music in the United States?"

Since he is a top student in the Conservatory of Music, the questions he asked would naturally not be too vulgar.Although it was just a simple sentence, it became a really difficult question for Chen Kangjie to answer.

"...It should be said that it has a lot to do with it. Your question just now is a bit general. Let me help you refine it, because my popularity in the West should not only be related to music works. It also involves movies, literature, sports, etc. You may want to ask again, if my songs are more popular in the United States, does it have something to do with the origin of pop music in the United States, right?"

The girl nodded abruptly, expressing her approval of Chen Kangjie's refinement.

"Okay, then let me briefly talk about my opinion on this issue. First of all, I have to be sure that it is indeed related. Because the origin of pop music is the United States, it is highly accepted in American society. And In China, although pop music is booming, we started late after all, just like rock music, which has only been here for a short period of [-] years. There are two other points I want to make special mentioning. The first point is, It is my language expression. Since you said that you like and admire me, then you know that most of my songs are in foreign languages, especially English. Due to the relationship between languages, it is natural that my songs are popular in the West, especially The United States is easier to be accepted. Secondly, most of my songs are about modern emotions and stories. In this regard, our opening is relatively late, so it is more suitable for the West. Apart from these, I will return to "commodity" The concept of "music" came up. Since it is a commodity, market factors will be very important. Someone asked me yesterday, when will our film market surpass that of the United States. In fact, the United States is not only the largest film market, but also the undisputed It is the largest music market. Since it has a large market, of course I have to spend more energy on this market. I don’t know if I can explain it this way, but can you accept it?”

The girl nodded abruptly again, indicating that Chen Kangjie's answer was approved by her.

Chen Kangjie's nonsense ability is really not covered, such a tricky question, he was easily fooled by it.

But the next boy's question pushed Chen Kangjie to the wall again, and he couldn't get off.

"Hello long, I'm a student of the orchestra department, so why don't you create more Chinese songs? If we all consider the market, wouldn't it be that our own pop music will never be able to rise? Although the business is not excessive, but those who manipulate the business A person should have a motherland, right?"

"Your question seems to involve the issue of patriotism." Chen Kangjie thought for a while before answering, "It is true that a person who manipulates business should have a country, but this cannot be used to restrict him from using various methods. The reason. I can sincerely tell you that my enthusiasm for patriotism will not be inferior to yours, nor will it be inferior to most people. All environmental changes and developments require a process. I seldom create Chinese songs, but it doesn’t mean that I will remain unchanged in the future. I don’t agree that our cultural creation needs to cater to the West, but I also don’t agree that we must be limited to a small circle, just on this soil Can’t get out. In the Conservatory of Music, there are piano departments, orchestral departments, and conducting departments. Strictly speaking, these are all products of Western civilization. Why should we set up majors in universities to study? Why don’t we Do you want to set up majors for learning chime bells or playing fou? The current era is an era of great change. We need to introduce, but more importantly, we need to go out. Since we want to go out, it is natural to use a method that others can accept. Of course, your The question also reminded me that maybe we can try to push out our culture. But to be honest, it is not easy, and it will not be an overnight process. This aspect may become an important direction of my efforts in the future. In addition , if you really pay attention to me, you should be able to see that I have been changing, and its expression lies in the movie "Dragon Heart". Whether it is music or movies, we have to tell our stories, we have to pass We need to convey value, but in terms of methods and methods, it seems unavoidable to integrate with the West and the world. That’s all I’m saying, let’s encourage each other in the future.” Although it’s difficult to answer, Chen Kangjie still uses His quickness and broad mind solved this difficult problem.

The boy was equally convinced by Chen Kangjie's answer.After all, Chen Kangjie is not just talking in words, he is really practicing with his own body.At present, the effect of practice is not bad. At least "Dragon Heart" has conquered audiences all over the world, allowing a story of China to be spread all over the world, and more people around the world can understand the character of China, an ancient country.

What's more, Chen Kangjie also took the professional setting of their conservatory as a negative example. This alone is enough to stop a person's mouth.Is it possible that he can still criticize the school's majors as unreasonable?If it is unreasonable, why does he come to read it?

At first, Jiao Yufu was more or less worried about Chen Kangjie, but seeing Chen Kangjie's performance one by one, all his worries disappeared.

Chen Kangjie can handle such problems with ease, so other problems, I believe, will not be a problem.
