China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

These are all the mainstays of "folk music" in the Chinese music scene.

Zhang Qiang is a professor and doctoral supervisor in the Pipa Department of the Central Conservatory of Music.

He learned piano at the age of 6 and pipa with his father at the age of 9. His teacher Li Guanghua is the only remaining pipa master in China.

Zhou Wang is the deputy dean of the Folk Music Department of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music and the winner of the National National Instrumental Music Gold Award in 1982.

Wang Lipin is even more remarkable. The famous music "Shepherd's Song" and "Camel Bell" are all his works. He is the lifelong honorary chairman of the China Music Copyright Association.

Xu Chen didn't understand what the big guys wanted to do, but it was beneficial and harmless to leave a good impression.

That's why...

Xuan's back is as tall and straight as a pine tree, full of energy, and the pipa on his back is tight, just short of solemnly swearing to devote himself to folk music and die.

………………

Several big guys put down their instruments and watched the young man carefully.

Xu Chen's two pieces of music, "The Avenue to Heaven is Wide and Broad" and "Distant Journey", both have a profound foundation in "folk music", especially "The Avenue to Heaven is Wide and Broad."

When CCTV filmed the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", "the folk music departments of the three major departments" submitted bids for the soundtrack of the TV series, and Wang Lipin of the "Shenyang Conservatory of Music" finally won.

That's right...

It was the gray-haired Comrade Lao Wang in front of him who took off his glasses and looked at Xu Chen intently.

Wang Lipin wiped his glasses, put them on again and took a closer look. Xu Chen's youth could not stop him. If there had been "The Great Road to Heaven" in 1986, the soundtrack of "Journey to the West" would have been nothing to do~

Zhou Wang and Zhang Qiang are relatively young in "Taishan". The two seniors, Gu Jianfen and Wang Lipin, did not speak and remained silent.

"Ranking based on qualifications" is a "Chinese national" tradition.

The atmosphere reached a stalemate, Naying and Sun Nan sat side by side, their eyes about to make a hole in the floor.

moment.

Wang Lipin joked: "Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Xu's work was not released in 1986, otherwise I would not be able to score "Journey to the West". Hello Comrade Xiao Xu, I am Wang Lipin, a folk musician."

"Hello, Teacher Wang." Xu Chen sat down, took off his pipa bag, and said modestly: "Teacher Wang, I often practiced your "Shepherd's Song" when I was learning the piano."

It’s not that Xu Chen is complimenting Wang Lipin. “Shepherd’s Song” is a classic, and the soundtrack to Li Lianjie’s movie “Shaolin Temple” is “Shepherd’s Song”.

so.

"Folk music" is not a name for itself, but it actually accounts for most of the soundtracks in the domestic film industry.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, the piece "Beautiful Myth" that you played on the "Zhongge Song List" is really good." Zhang Qiang is a pipa master and the youngest among the senior leaders. Therefore, Xu Chen's task falls on him. On him.

He said bluntly: "We happen to be exchanging music. Can Comrade Xu play it for a while?"

"Of course you can." Zhang Qiang's attitude was firm. Xu Chen was neither humble nor arrogant. He held his pipa upright and said modestly: "Teacher Wang, my music is not worth mentioning. I will play "Shepherd" and ask Professor Zhang for correction."

Xu Chen was well prepared before the meeting. The only omission was that he did not expect Wang Lipin and others to be there.

"Shepherd's Song" is very difficult to play, but several of the big guys are masters of "folk music", and you can tell by listening to the depth of their skills.

Even in front of a few big guys.

Xu Chen was neither impatient nor impatient, with his back straight and his shoulders relaxed smoothly. His left leg was folded over his right leg, and the pipa was pressed between his legs.

"Pipa" is commonly played in two ways. This posture is the most elegant and calms the mind. The right hand plucks the strings, and the crisp and clear sound lines of the pipa are like beads falling on a jade plate ~

…………

The old building is brightly lit, the sun shines slantingly, and there is nothing else in the living room except the sound of pipa.

Several bosses listened and found out that Na Ying, Sun Nan, and Gao Yuanyuan wild boar could not eat fine chaff.

Gao Yuanyuan sat obediently, holding her chin with her hands, her arms on her knees, and her eyes were all about Xu Chen.

Naying simply didn't want to listen and was irritated. She looked up and saw Sun Nan next to her. She insisted on being mean and lowered her voice: "Sun Nan, I feel really bad. Listen to my sister's advice. It's not embarrassing to lose to Xu Chen. You Seeing how arrogant this kid is, Teacher Gu and several teachers all listen to him."

"..." Sun Nan felt really uncomfortable. When Naying said this, the healed wound was dripping with blood. She said with a black face: "Haha, if you didn't tell me, I thought I would lose to you. Fortunately, fortunately, my The album sales are higher than yours."

"...屮." Naying instantly turned black. Her album sales were lost to Sun Nan last year.

Sun Nan stared at her, imitating Xu Chen's "Mid-Song List" and raised the corners of his mouth, smiling mockingly: "Haha."

Sun Nan looked at Naying looking like she was about to beat someone up but felt aggrieved, and her mood instantly improved. Is this Xu Chen's life in the music industry...

turn out to be……

So cool!

Although I lost to Xu Chen, I beat Naying~

Sun Nan's gloomy mood suddenly became sunny. Looking at Xu Chen holding the pipa upright, he suddenly felt relieved...

Teacher Gu and several music bosses want to meet Xu Chen. Rounding things off, Xu Chen is the boss. He is not losing to the "Mesozoic Era", he is losing to the boss~

Makes sense.

…………

The last pipa sound stopped, Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and humbly paused: "Several seniors are laughing."

Zhang Qiang is a professor of the Pipa Department of the Central Conservatory of Music and has the most professional say. He nodded impartially: "The basic skills are very solid. Although "Sheep Music" is not difficult, it is not easy to play it well. Comrade Xiao Xu , if you can have the guidance of a professional teacher, your pipa playing skills will improve by leaps and bounds and reach the level of a master!"

Reach the master level!

This review is really not low. Xu Chen is only 18 years old, but his pipa playing skills have reached a first-class level.

Judging from Zhang Qiang's professional level, he is at least better than several graduate students in the pipa department of the Central Conservatory of Music. If you include Xu Chen's "composition" level, he can barely reach the level of a "master" in the industry.

"professor Zhang."

Xu Chen passed the test, and Gu Jianfen was the matchmaker: "Who can compare with you in pipa skills in China now? I think Xu Chen is a good young talent. We can't waste talents, so why not let him become your teacher."

The inheritance of "folk music" is different from social studies. Let's take the folk music department of the "Central Conservatory of Music". If Zhang Qiang is willing to accept an apprentice, then Xu Chen can seamlessly enroll in the "Central Conservatory of Music".

Zhang Qiang thought for a while and joked: "Sister Gu, if Xu Chen is willing to become my teacher, I will naturally teach him with all my heart. But with his composition level, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him anything."

When big bosses recruit apprentices, they rarely pass on skills. Instead, they select young people from a young age and train them as close disciples. They are called apprentices and have the same status as their children.

In addition to disciples who teach the Dharma, there are also disciples who teach.

The requirements for discipleship are very low, usually only "fame" is required to promote the reputation of the master.

Xu Chen's two pieces of music, "The Great Road to Heaven" and "Distant Journey" played on the "Zhongge Bang" gave "folk music" a lot of limelight.

Moreover, he is young, only 18 years old. At the age of 18, he composed the songs "Broad and Broad" and "Distant Journey", which are regarded by several big shots...

Xu Chen is a born "folk music saint"!

At the same time, Xu Chen is also the "popular brother in the Mainland".

If Xu Chen becomes a disciple, the reputation and benefits it will bring are self-evident.

We have interests and feelings. It is our duty to promote "folk music" and cultivate "folk music" inheritors!

Several big bosses discussed it without consulting Xu Chen's opinion at all.

After Wang Lipin listened to Xu Chen's performance of "Shepherd", he knew that Xu Chen's ability in the "Middle Song List" was real, and thought to himself: "Comrade Xiao Xu's composition level is indeed very high, and I am not even good enough to teach him. So be it, Comrade Xiao Xu, are you willing to take senior Huo Cunhui as your teacher?"

thump.

The apple in Naying's hand fell to the ground. Everyone looked at her and hurriedly picked up the apple. She said wisely: "Teacher Gu, don't chase me away. I'll leave now."

When he left, his eyes were fixed on Xu Chen. Huo Cunhui was none other than Naying's master and teacher Gu Jianfen.

Gu Jianfen invited Xu Chen to be his guest, and Naying was mentally prepared that she might have multiple juniors.

I thought that if I became Senior Sister Xu Chen, wouldn't I be able to show off my reputation as a "Senior Sister"?

Oh haha.

Now that Xu Chen has become her uncle, Naying has a dark face and decides to draw a clear line with Xu Chen from now on and never have any contact with him until death.

…………

Xu Chen was confused. Mr. Huo Sicun had passed away a long time ago. Could it be that Gu Jianfen was going to "acquire apprentices on behalf of teachers".

Wang Lipin's suggestion made Gu Jianfen look thoughtful.

Xu Chen's works "The Great Road to Heaven" and "Distant Journey" are indeed at the level of a master in terms of composition skills, concepts and styles.

even.

Many domestic composers will never be able to write such a work in their lifetime.

Gu Jianfen believed that he had composed numerous "music scores", at most as equal to these two pieces, so it was natural that he could not teach Xu Chen.

If Xu Chen is left alone, such a good seedling is likely to die young.

Therefore, Gu Jianfen said kindly: "Xu Chen, are you willing to be my junior brother? I have nothing to teach you about composition, but after all, I am much older than you, and I have a lot of experience in composition to share with you." "

Xu Chen was a little confused. He suddenly became Gu Jian's junior fellow student. I was so embarrassed by the Chinese music scene.

After thinking for a while, he said humbly: "Teacher Gu, Teacher Wang, after all, I am young and I still have a lot to learn. I am not qualified to be your junior brother. If Teacher Gu doesn't dislike me, I am willing to accept you as my mentor."

Gu Jianfen and Wang Lipin looked at each other and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Xu is willing to accept us as his master, of course we are willing, but you also have two masters, one is pipa master Zhang Qiang, and the other is guqin master Zhou Wang!"

One bow is a bow, two bows are a bow, Xu Chen accepted them all.

…………

The apprenticeship ceremony for "disciples who teach the Dharma" is very strict, but it is very simple for "disciples who pass on the teachings".

All he needs to do is publish an announcement in the newspaper, find a time to make a plan, take Xu Chen for a walk, and introduce him to the seniors and peers in the circle, and the relationship is settled.

After Xu Chen became a disciple, the relationship was different, and the big bosses became close instantly.

While chatting and chatting, Zhou Wang suddenly said with emotion: "Nowadays, children all listen to pop music and Western instruments, but we have almost no understanding of traditional Chinese cultural instruments. Only us old guys persist."

Several big bosses were worried.

There are very few students in the "folk music departments" of the three major music academies. You can't learn anything at all as an undergraduate. To get started, you need "graduate students" or "doctoral students", and there are only 2 or 3 enrollment plans.

It is simply impossible to expect 2 or 3 students to promote "folk music".

Speaking of this, Zhang Qiang sighed and said: "The guqin department is okay, but pipa is really difficult. Pipa's ancient music is obscure and difficult to understand, and its skills are difficult to learn and master. Some older generations of ancient music passed away, and the inheritance of ancient music was interrupted."

Not only pipa, guqin and morinouqin are also in danger of being cut off from ancient musical notation.

Gu Jianfen's eyes met the honest Xu Chen, and he suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "Junior brother Xu, you are a young man and a popular brother in the mainland. Do you have any good ideas?"

Xu Chen is nominally a disciple, but because of his high level of composition, he is called "junior disciple".

Xu Chen is gearing up.

There is no news from Peking TV station’s “China in the Classics”, probably due to difficulties in the review.

Xu Chen was worried and had no choice. When he fell asleep, he found a pillow. He looked at several big bosses and said humbly: "My mentors, to be honest, I have a career in Peking TV Station. Feng..."

"I have prepared a program to promote Chinese classical culture called "China in Classics"..." Xu Chen briefly elaborated on the creativity of "China in Classics" and concluded: "Folk music is difficult because of its low popularity. Nowadays, Western music It is the mainstream. Many children’s first thought when learning musical instruments is Western instruments. To change this situation, the first is to promote folk music and let more people know and understand folk music. The second is to popularize the lessons of folk music..."

Revitalizing "folk music" cannot be achieved overnight. Xu Chen's current goal is to promote "China in the classics".

The program "China in Classics" features the promotion of ancient Chinese books, and the soundtrack is mostly "folk music."

Xu Chen "eats with one fish" and uses his connections to invite "folk music" bosses to play live, and the effect will definitely be explosive!

…………

This time it was 5:00 pm.

Several big bosses are no longer young, and the youngest Zhang Qiang is almost 65 years old. After listening to Xu Chen's plan, they all felt that it was very feasible.

When leaving, Zhang Qiang and Zhou Wang spontaneously invited Xu Chen: "Xiao Xu, the Central/Huaxia Conservatory of Music has an exam-free admission policy. Your pipa/guqin skills are enough to meet the requirements. Please take the time to apply for admission as soon as possible."

A little old man and a little old lady blew their noses and glared, arguing: "How can the Huaxia Conservatory of Music be as good as the Central Conservatory of Music? Xiao Xu, you must not go to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music. Zhang Qiang doesn't know how to teach disciples. Come to me." Come."

"The Central Conservatory of Music has many rules. Xiao Xu, you will definitely not adapt to it. Besides, playing the guqin is not as good as ours playing the pipa. The guqin is for girls, and the pipa is a romance for men~"

Zhou Wang looked at Xu Chen's age and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, there are many girls in the guqin department, but the pipa department is all old and rough. When you come, I will introduce the senior sisters to you."

"..." Zhang Qiang suddenly became anxious: "You Zhou Wang, you are evil, aren't you? I have a lot of girls from the pipa department. Besides, Comrade Xu is still young. He must put his studies first and love his children..."

Seeing Zhang Qiang arguing hard, Xu Chen was very moved, and he decided...

The senior sisters and junior sisters of the Guqin Department of the Central Conservatory of Music must be in need of warmth!

…………

Several mentors were sent away.

Gu Jianfen and his apprentice Sun Nan walked up to Xu Chen. Mrs. Gu was very scheming.

The dispute between his apprentice and Xu Chen over the "Mainland Mesozoic" brother has become public knowledge, but the key point is that he cannot win over him.

Seeing Sun Nan's desperate look, Gu Jian lost his temper and said sternly: "Sun Nan, you learn singing from me, and Xiao Xu learns composition from me. I have nothing to teach him at his level." Yes, although Comrade Xiao Xu is my disciple, he is actually accepting a disciple on behalf of his master. Do you recognize this young uncle?"

Sun Nan readily accepted him, bowed seriously, and called honestly: "Little Master Uncle."

I felt relieved instantly. Is it too much to lose to my junior uncle?

It’s normal!

Xu Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly Sun Nan became a junior, older than him. After thinking about it, he asked with concern: "Sun Nan, I heard that you have recently redone your album. Do you have any suitable songs?"

Sun Nan frowned.

"Star Factory" Wang Xing resigned. His album was nominally "reworked", but in reality he was relegated to the sidelines by "Star Factory".

no way.

Now that Xu Chen is gaining momentum, Sun Nan, the former "big brother", is "sending death" when he releases an album.

Seeing Sun Nan's look, Xu Chen knew something in his mind. He thought about it and said, "Teacher, please lend me some paper and pen."

Gu Jian is very talented, and Xu Chen's talent in composing and writing lyrics is terrifying, otherwise she would not be able to "take on the role of a teacher and become a disciple."

Now that he had paper and pen, Xu Chen thought about it and wrote "Save."

This song is a classic work by Sun Nan, released on the 2002 album of the same name "Rescue."

There is a line in the lyrics: "What can I do to save you? When love is overwhelmed, who can bless whom? Who can I wait for?"

A song was quickly "composed", and Xu Chen said to Sun Nan: "Sun Nan, look at this song."

Sun Nan was dumbfounded and took it blankly...

"save"!

After looking at ten lines at a glance, his face went from "dead to death" to "ecstatic" in just 15 seconds. The hand holding the paper was shaking, and tears of disappointment fell down.

This song "Deliverance" really saves him!

Gu Jianfen was disgusted: "Look at your potential, why don't you thank me, my junior uncle? You can pay as much as you want, and you can't make my junior junior uncle's heart cold."

"It's easy to save." Sun Nan felt warm in his heart and called sincerely: "Uncle, I don't want any of the proceeds from this song. Thank you, uncle, I..."

Sun Nan's career as a singer has been sniped by Xu Chen, and his future is bleak. However, the song "Rescue" can really help him return to the music scene, and his "career" can return to its peak.

"Sun Nan..."

"Little Master Uncle, just call me Xiao Sun~"

…………

Soon it was August, and Xu Chen was very busy during these days.

For the trip to Treasure Island, "Magic Rock" Zhang Peiren arranged the time: "August 8th", which has a very good meaning...

Xu Chen went to Baodao to be a "father".

The "Unparalleled" album recorded "Under the Flying Clouds", and Xu Chen chose "The Rain Keeps Falling" as the second recorded song.

"The Rain Keeps Falling" is a golden song by Zhang Yu, the "Prince of Misery". The melody is catchy, the lyrics are easy to understand, and it is very difficult to sing.

It is said that Zhang Yu is known as the "Prince of Bitterness", and he and his wife "Eleventh Lang" are the "black and white evil" in the music industry.

However, Zhang Yu's songs are all about breaking up with Eleven Lang. Eleven Lang wrote "Confessions of a Bitter Love" heartbroken. So, Zhang Yu is really a scumbag!

Seeing that the breakup letter written by Shishilang was of good quality, this guy released the right to compose it as a song, and the song was called "Prison Bird".

After getting married, the "Eleventh Man" became hard-core, so Zhang Yu had no choice but to retire. His wife was heartbroken and had no inspiration~

Except for recording songs.

The most important thing for Xu Chen right now is the "song MV".

"Unparalleled" 12 songs, Xu Chen is preparing to star in the Cantonese songs "Second Hand", "Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart", "Next Year Today"...

We are going to hire actors for Mandarin songs.

The reason for this consideration is that Xu Chen thinks that he is already popular in the mainland and does not need an MV to increase his fame. He might as well give it a chance and see if he can fool a fool into signing a contract with "Time Pictures".

Idiot mainly refers to the "96-level Chinese drama" fool.

Just pick a few of the "8 Golden Flowers", and "Time Pictures" will make a lot of money, and it will be no problem to build a "Time Pictures Harem".

Counting the Central Conservatory of Music, the "Time Song and Dance Ensemble" is just around the corner!

this day.

When Xu Chen came out of the recording studio, Gao Yuanyuan was standing guard at the door. The little girl spent all the holiday time with Xu Chen, serving tea and water, just like a maid.

She didn't dislike it, looking like she was enjoying it: "Xu Chen, call."

"Oh." Xu Chen looked at his phone and saw an unfamiliar number. He answered the call and said, "Hello, I'm Xu Chen."

"Hello~ is this Xu Chen? I'm Zhang Tong." Zhang Tong said timidly: "Xu...Xu Chen, do you still remember me?"

Phew~

Xu Chen turned around and saw Gao Yuanyuan listening to the phone secretly with her hands behind her back and her slender body pouted.

Fighting posture, warrior charging for love!

Xu Chen was so close to her now that he could see Gao Yuanyuan's nervously fluttering eyelashes, the white and straight tip of her nose, her plump and round lips with a moist sheen, and her warm breath.

Staring with big eyes, Xu Chen said: "Hello, classmate Zhang, is there any progress in the MV shooting?"

"!" Zhang Tong didn't expect Xu Chen to remember her, and said with a smile: "Xu Chen, our teacher asked you to bring the script to school. As long as there are no problems with the script, you can shoot. When is it convenient for you?"

Xu Chen stretched out his hand, poked Gao Yuanyuan's bulging cheeks, and said, "On August 3rd, I will come and contact you then. Thank you, classmate Zhang."

"No thanks, no thanks, I'm very happy to be able to help you." Zhang Tong said carefully: "Xu Chen, you sang "Ugly" very well on "Zhong Ge Bang", are you okay now~"

"Gone."

Xu Chen didn't expect that he still had a crazy fan. After confirming the date, he hung up the phone and said with a chuckle: "What are you doing, eavesdropping on my phone call."

"Who eavesdropped?" Gao Yuanyuan nuzzled the tip of her nose: "I obviously listened openly and openly!!"
