w88 online casino: Underneath the great works, do a little silly thing

(Source: "Southern Weekend" 2014-11-28 Author: Wang Yin)

Looking vertically, China has already crossed over10100 million people1writers8The era of model operas; but looking horizontally, we are still in an era where the power of imitation, cover singing, and transplantation is strong, but the power of originality is weak. We are still in the development process from Made in China to Created in China. To this end, we relentlessly care about original works, continue to advocate for the original spirit, and spare no effort to pay tribute to the heroes on the original power list.

w88 online casino asked: If I give it to you200Yuan, did you buy a ticket to watch the show, or did you eat it?

After hearing such great things, you know that you will never be able to reach that height, and sometimes you will even feel depressed. Forget it, let’s not do it anymore... We are just doing a little bit of it stupidly.

w88 online casino was moved in "Good Chinese Songs" purely because of the songs. His anxiety is that if he just requests songs and makes various arrangements over and over again, how will Chinese music be successful if this continues? (CFP/Picture)

It was w88 online casino who took the initiative to propose to Canxing to create a program that encourages original songs, and thus the current "Chinese Good Songs" came into being: "In the first season of "The Voice of China", the program itself did not support original creations. The two singers sang at about the same level, and one of them wrote it himself. It was not easy to get extra points. The original version of the program did not have original creations, but only covers of songs that everyone is familiar with. It is said to be good for TV ratings."

The problem is that foreign countries don’t have to worry about the source of songs, but China has many programs and few creations. to2013In 2009, various singing talent shows were looking for arrangers. w88 online casino told Southern Weekend reporters: "Just by ordering songs and singing them over and over again, the arrangements have to keep changing, and everyone is almost running out of recruits. What's going to happen if this continues? We must develop a model ourselves, and we must support originality."

The "support" extends beyond the program - w88 online casino became the producer for Tu Yijia, a student in "Chinese Good Songs". The lyrics, composition, and singing in the new album are all from this person16year-old singer-songwriter. She was called a genius by w88 online casino: "She expresses the living conditions of her generation in a very simple and straightforward way."

After the success of the singer talent show on TV, the creators could not keep up with subsequent promotions. w88 online casino wanted to fill this gap. There are many outstanding talents among w88 online casino's students. Most of them have experience in independent production or distribution. Tu Yijia is the youngest and needs the most support. Tu Yijia's music has a psychedelic and nu-metal flavor, and it happens to be the type of music that w88 online casino particularly liked during this period.

In the production of the album, w88 online casino emphasized naturalness, vividness, and no modification: "Pitch modification seems to have become a necessary recording process, but it is a digital processing process, and every time it is processed, a little detail will be lost. In the end, it is not as vivid as the singing at the beginning. It is best not to modify it if you can. Some places are not good to be repeated. The recording can be done this way."

w88 online casino can only have time to work on his own album after "Chinese Good Songs" ends. He isw88 casinoThe plan to publish the professor's "History of Western Music" will also have to wait2015Year4It will be a month before I have time to start working on it: "Really write it down on paper. There are many things that need to be studied. You can't ramble on. You have to make everything very solid."

“The work is not in vain, there are really good songs”

Southern Weekend: When you were doing "The Voice of China", you complained that the program cut out all the parts where you talked about music, leaving only the sensational parts. TV had to consider the ratings, so it made the program narrow.

w88 online casino: Fortunately, we (the instructors) still have a certain say in the program, so we can make adjustments as much as possible. I later found out that the program team agreed with us after we finished it. They were worried at first. You always talk about technical issues in the program, talking about this and that between the keys. How can ordinary people understand this? But after the broadcast, the more these things were talked about, the ratings instantly rose, but fell when the story was told. So sometimes it may not be what you think, and you feel that everyone doesn’t understand it.

Southern Weekend: You shed tears when some particularly good singers came out in "The Voice of China"; you also got emotional in "The Voice of China". There should be a difference, right?

w88 online casino: Yes, it’s different. "The Voice of China" was a lot of accidents, that kind of TV production method. Sometimes "The Voice of China" was touching purely because of this song. To be honest, we have no idea. I really don’t know what the basic level of these singers and songwriters we have found is. If they are really not good, they will not be able to continue. According to the competition system, we were not allowed to contact the contestants before the show started, so we didn’t know anything about it. But less than half-way through the recording, we heard a lot of really good things. We felt that the hard work was not in vain. There were really good songs, which was really touching.

Southern Weekend: What if a singer-songwriter can write good songs, but he cannot sing or sings poorly?

w88 online casino: We are exploring another program model, specifically for professional composers. He does not need to sing himself, there are singers here. But this is still under discussion.

Southern Weekend: Xiao Tu is very lucky to be able to publish music. What about other young musicians?

w88 online casino: No matter how capable Canxing is, its capability lies in television, not a record company. Dozens of students were signed up for each program, and it was obvious that it couldn't be done - when Rolling Stone Records was at its peak, there were eleven or twelve artists working under the label at the same time. We may have to find a new way of cooperation to solve this problem. Now many record companies are in a state of limbo, and they can't push them forward. They release records and sell 2,000 copies, and there is no return, so there is no way to continue. But the production ability is still there, and if you push people out in the early stage, you can still do things.

Southern Weekend: In addition to television, are there other channels to promote original music?

w88 online casino: Before "The Voice", the original major TV talent shows were all based on the concept of creating stars, including Super Girl and Fast Man. At that time, they didn't pay much attention to originality. Until "The Voice", it can push people out so quickly. The influence of television is too powerful. In the past, many programs relied on other things. Supergirl allowed mobile phone interaction and the participation of some other media. However, when it comes to "The Voice", these things are not allowed and all are broadcast on TV. Since it has this ability, why don’t we use it to promote some original creations?

Now some websites are also filming directly, called talent shows or something. Such programs are also starting, but they must also have various coordinated forces. I think it's all a good thing, because no matter what, he is promoting songs, which is the core.

Southern Weekend: In the past, there were TV series that could promote original songs, but now this role seems to be less obvious.

w88 online casino: Nowadays, there is vicious competition in the broadcasting of TV dramas. TV dramas do not even show the opening and closing credits - if you show the opening and closing credits, it will be released more than a minute later than others. People will watch that channel but not yours. Everyone has chopped off the head and tail. They would rather withdraw a few ads. I will broadcast one minute ahead of you and compete with you in the ratings. The competition has become fierce. So you did the opening credits and the ending and no one heard it. Now it seems that only CCTV and Beijing Satellite TV remain the same. If you sign clearly in the contract, the TV station will broadcast the opening and ending of the film in its entirety. I have not seen it in other places. When watching TV series on the Internet, there is a software that skips the opening and ending of the credits, just select a hook and pass.

Southern Weekend: You have written a lot of music for TV series in the past.

w88 online casino: I don’t really do much music for TV series. It’s just a coincidence that everyone listens to it. I started with "Beijingers in New York" at the earliest. After that, for basically three or four years, I did a TV series every year, from "Sunrise in the East to Rain in the West" to "Hu Xueyan". I was very tired, so I threw it away and stopped doing that. Later, I felt compelled to write and wrote a song. When it came to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", director Zheng Xiaolong, who had known me for so many years, came to me and worked on it for almost five months. In fact, it only took about ten days to actually write the songs and music, but it took a lot of effort to do the post-production, including watching the first cut, re-cut, and then putting the music on the final version. In addition to writing songs, he also wrote dozens of pieces of music. In fact, it can be regarded as a lesson learned - because I left too many regrets for not participating in the later stage. Although the director made changes in the music editing of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in the end, at least I will no longer regret that I did not fulfill my responsibilities. Otherwise, I won’t accept this matter. If I do, I will personally watch from behind. Which music is in which position? How long will it take you to watch more than seventy episodes? It was too hard.

Ears should listen to music, not listen to people talking about music

Southern Weekend: You said in the "Good Songs" promotional video that music is big but we are small. I think it's what's in your heart, and there's a kind of awe in it.

w88 online casino: This is my true opinion. I haven’t done much in the past few years, but I have listened to a lot, and now I teach music history. After you listen to such great things and then get to know the creators of these great works, you will know that you will never be able to reach that height. Sometimes it will even be very decadent. Forget it, let’s not do it. That is music that we particularly look up to, and now we are just doing a little bit of it stupidly.

Southern Weekend: How do you adjust when you are particularly depressed and desperate?

w88 online casino: There is no other way. Forget it today, we still have to work the next day. You can't stop working, you still have to do things.

Southern Weekend: When you teach "History of Western Music" in w88 casino, do you rank these Western musicians differently from the traditional ones? Do you have your own preferences?

w88 online casino: Of course it will, and it will change frequently. In a few years your understanding will be different. Some adjustments were made and finally adjusted back. At the beginning, everyone thought Beethoven was the supreme god, and then they listened to it a lot19If something comes after the end of the century, you will put it there as the spiritual rock of the whole. But later, including some composers after the Impressionists, they were carving out some small and scattered things, which were often more fascinating and interesting. If you meet some masters with superb methods, like Ravel (French composer Maurice Ravel), his things are great, you will feel that Beethoven seems to be beating his chest a little.

In a few years, if you hear the avant-garde and all kinds of music calculated by computers, it will be different when you go back and hear Beethoven, including his Fifth and Sixth (Symphony). You will regard him as a spiritual rock again and analyze his small themes in descending three degrees in detail, one major third and one minor three. Such a small brick supports the big structure behind it so completely. This thing is incredible, or else it is a symphony within a symphony, and it makes sense. For two or three years I listened to particularly early stuff, pre-Baroque and medieval works. In the past two years, I prefer the period of exploration when the avant-garde was just formed, because it has more colors and is not so evil. Modernists are not writing sounds, they are counting sounds.

Southern Weekend: Can we say that you are a study-type composer?

w88 online casino: My understanding of some songs and singers is different from that of many music critics. Zhao Lei's song in "Good Songs" was chosen by me alone. The lyrics were so well written that it was like drawing a dream of one's own but unable to realize it. It was a dream with very low requirements and was particularly touching. The song is not the kind of ballad that Gao Xiaosong used in the past. It has changes. I really think it is a good song. I see things from this perspective.

When I was in class, I told the students about the times, the social and cultural environment at that time, and then about how musicians lived their lives. When it comes to music specifically, I have always told my students that you have to rely on your ears to listen, and you cannot rely on others to tell music stories. To tell music stories, you don’t need musicians. Don't add too many additional things. If you want to write music into a prose, that's nonsense.

“I struggled for more than half a year”

Southern Weekend: What are your favorite types of music? Your choice only5pieces.

w88 online casino: Classical is still my first choice. During this period, I listen more to gothic metal, then jazz, and then to extreme electronic and Chinese ancient music that are completely acoustic...

Southern Weekend: Is there anything that you particularly want to write about, but that people don’t know much about, or that hasn’t been published yet?

w88 online casino: There are many. Basically, I still write songs. I have always wanted to do this kind of thing, but I also want to be in a very stable state of mind and don't want to make myself so embarrassed. Working all day long to do this and that, I couldn’t get enough time, and I never got anything done. Now that I am older, I can do less things if I can, and if I feel more comfortable, I may be able to do something more.

After the end of this year’s “Good Songs”5In August, I had always wanted to do a live performance, and I wanted to jazz up Chinese and European classics. Some things are in harmony, and I accidentally discovered that several things can be done in this way, including opera, past Chinese classics, and even folk songs, which can be conveyed in a relatively relaxed way. But I want to stop doing concerts first and make a record first. It will be more grounded for live performance and everyone can have a more relaxed time.

There are also some other musical ideas. Some songs, including "good songs", suddenly asked the instructor to have a song in it. That song was really written that week. I returned to Beijing after recording the show, and "Night" is about a very simple night of mine. I often couldn't sleep, so I would drink some wine and listen to records non-stop. Suddenly I would hear this and think of that, and hours would pass quickly. The lyrics of that song are actually most of the records I listen to. It’s quite fun to put the names of those songs directly into the lyrics.

But many of my musical ideas are based on the music form itself, not some kind of life touch. My life has not been touched at all, it is too stable. I have been very lucky over the years. From getting married to having a wife and children, it has been a smooth journey. All my thoughts are on the music itself.

Southern Weekend: Will your music creation change a lot as you get older?

w88 online casino: That’s right. I even hesitated not to produce anything for a while while adjusting my whole habit. I am a monk halfway,19When you first touch the piano at the age of 18, it is easy to form a habit of your own over a period of time. Once you start playing, it will be this way, and your songwriting routine will still be this way. This is bad, and it makes it impossible for you not to think about yourself. As soon as you put your hand on the piano, the set will appear.

There was a time when I struggled for more than half a year, deliberately letting myself play the piano randomly in order to break the habit of playing the piano. I was really blind for the first three to five months, and I couldn’t play the piano or sing, but I think this is necessary. After this period of time, you will adjust to another set of habits, and then you can continue it for a while. The work will be different when it comes out. It may not be good after a while, and you need to adjust again.

Southern Weekend: But a person’s tolerance is limited. No matter how hard you adjust, you can’t escape the grasp of Tathagata Buddha?

w88 online casino: It’s impossible to go the other way. I’ll try my best to find a new approach. You always do the same thing as before, which is quite boring, including the music for the TV series. "Beijingers in New York" is an American thing. I didn't join until the crew returned to Beijing after filming was closed. I told Zheng Xiaolong about "Beijingers in New York" because I have never been to New York. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a story about the Chinese court, and I wrote all the songs in New York. It's so strange, how could this happen. I always felt that way when I was making "The Legend of Zhen Huan". If I wanted to create something that surpassed "A Dream of Red Mansions", if more than 20 years later I wrote something that was the same as "A Dream of Red Mansions", that would be nonsense. What are we doing here? So we need to find new ways in traditional music.

Music and movies are pirated, but why do movies develop so well?

Southern Weekend: If you are communicating with students about a good work but you avoid describing it, how should you tell them?

w88 online casino: It’s all about the music itself. For example, in a song, you see why there is a long modulation in this place, which seems a bit contrary to common sense. Why would he do this? He wanted to make an explosion here, and the timbre he used and the singing method he used stood out. This may be his core.

Southern Weekend: How should music education be made universally accessible?

w88 online casino: We also have problems with our channels, and it seems that we also have problems with our talent reserve. For TV programs in the past, it would have been good to have an accompaniment tape, or else just lip-sync. "The Voice" started a few years ago and was the first to take the quality of music on TV seriously. For the first time, I found a good band and the best speakers in China to implement it. As a result, other programs in this area also did the same. When I returned to Beijing during that time, I happened to be recording something, but I couldn’t find any musicians, or even a harmony, so I had to do it on various TV stations. It can be seen that we have a problem with talent reserve in this area, just a few people.

I don’t know much about Europe, it’s the United StatesSSATThe exam (American High w88 casino Entrance Examination), I took a look at the test questions, and I was still testing two-digit multiplication - I am going to high w88 casino. This allows children to spend a lot of time forming a small band, participating in a w88 casino wind band, etc. before junior high w88 casino. Why are there so many people playing this or that instrument? The whole education is very open. Our primary w88 casino and junior high w88 casino students are so confused in the exams, how can we have time to talk about this matter with you? Even if some elementary schools take this seriously, that is w88 casino civilization.

The level of the piano test may mean to many parents whether (the child) is Lang Lang or not. This is not the case abroad. I went to see a private middle w88 casino with a friend that day. Of course, the w88 casino was better. There were three music teachers. One of them played the piano very well and graduated from the Juilliard w88 casino of Music. Julia graduated with a piano major and worked as a music teacher in a middle w88 casino.

If there is any tonight200I will give you 1 yuan, or buy a ticket to watch the show, and then eat it, in our country it is possible90%The above people ate it. He didn't think it was worth spending the money, and this would be troublesome. Consumption habits affect many of us today. A simple thing is that piracy of music is the same as that of movies, but China's movies are developing very well. How many screens are added every day, and everyone goes to make movies. In fact, movie theater ticket prices are disproportionate to the amount of money Chinese people earn.

When we were kids, we watched a movie, "Lenin Is Here"1918》This kind,5A ticket costs only one cent, so you have to buy it. It was natural to watch movies and buy tickets, and it was also natural to listen to music without spending money. At that time, the only way was to turn on the radio and listen to the broadcast. How could there be any money?1980Tape tapes were only available in the early 1990s, and the price was disproportionate to the wage level. The tapes issued by Pacific Ocean were the most expensive.6Block5, at that time everyone earned a month40Yuan. I don’t know how, but movies are getting better now and music has become like this. As long as I can listen to it without paying, I won’t pay. A record is released in such a big China, and the first issue is released1000Zhang, is this ridiculous? It’s a joke.
