Chapter 327: Movie Aftermath
The recovery training progress for a few old musicians was much faster than the previous expected plan.
Although a few old musicians say that they haven't touched an instrument for many years, they still have a musical foundation for decades.
Moreover, at that time, there were not many special music system teaching, just by learning art from the master, people who could learn it and walk the streets and alleys to make a lot of fame were absolutely enough, even outstanding.
Coupled with the guidance of a top instrument master like Lin Bao, it took almost less than a month and a half for the performance level of several old musicians to reach the stage where Lin Bao could accept and go out for a formal performance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after today's training, our entire training at this stage will be over. Next, the studio will arrange a formal debut, as well as external performance promotion activities. ”
On November 9, early in the morning, Lin Bao came to the recording studio on the fifth floor and said.
The six old musicians who were holding their instruments and preparing to start training stopped their movements and looked at Lin Bao.
"Is the training over?"
Several of them also had some expectations in their hearts.
For more than a month, I have been training here every day, and I have been touching the instrument for decades, and now I have a lot of trance and emotion in my heart when I pick it up.
followed Lin Bao and several teachers from the Conservatory of Music for training, and several old musicians were also very serious.
Moreover, it is obvious that under Lin Bao's guidance, they are becoming more and more proficient in playing now, even much better than when they were at their peak.
And now, the training is over and they are about to officially start playing, and the few of them are naturally still a little expectant and nervous.
Although the average age of several of them is more than 55 years old, they are already old people.
But according to the process arranged by Lin Bao for them, if they want to debut like those young bands and young singers, it is still the first time that the new daughter-in-law is on the sedan chair.
They are a few old people, and this time they were arranged to make their debut, and they don't have any idea of becoming famous, and they don't expect to earn much fame.
The main purpose is actually the reason why Lin Bao moved them to "go out of the mountain" when he visited and invited them one by one before.
It is to contribute to the rise of traditional folk music.
And now, the training has ended, and the debut work of Lin Bao and the studio behind him is actually their "endorsement" as a "spokesperson" for Lin Bao and a means of promoting traditional folk music.
The reason why I was nervous was that I was afraid that the six of us, in the end, because of the level of performance or personal reasons, the final publicity effect could not be as expected, and I was a little sorry for Lin Bao's busyness for more than a month.
In the past month or so, basically food, accommodation and travel have been arranged by Lin Bao's studio.
At the same time, there is also a salary that is no less than that of a formal actor at the provincial and municipal level.
"Now, the most important question has come. ”
Lin Bao looked at a few old musicians and said with a smile, "What's the name of our band?"
Li Fugui and several people, seeing Lin Bao said the most important question, their hearts were still slightly tightened, afraid that something would change.
But when I heard it later, it was just discussing the name of the band, and they were all laughing at each other.
"We discussed this for a long time, and I thought of several, the Sunset Red Band, and the second group of Yangjin Village Band...... Hey, forget it, I don't feel like it's on the table, it's up to Mr. Lin Bao to decide. ”
Li Fugui said with a smile.
"I think the second band of Yangjin Village is quite interesting. ”
Lin Bao looked at them and said, "Actually, the band we want to form for a few teachers this time is not a real band, just a propaganda slogan. In fact, the main thing is to connect traditional folk music, modern songs, and the older generation of musicians with young people. So, it's best not to have a particularly intentional name, just a style representative is best. ”
"I see. ”
When Qin Jinhong heard this, he nodded, "Then just call the band for the elderly." ”
"Okay. ”
Several other veteran musicians are also responding.
They didn't have much of an opinion on the name, and they also understood what Lin Bao meant.
"Well, that's the name. ”
Lin Bao was also smiling.
She also talked to Zheng Rong before, and the band formed by several old musicians is actually not a real physical band, but a symbol, representing a combination of old and new, and then a power with inheritance significance.
"The Band of the Elderly" is a joke in a certain sense, but at the same time, it also represents this kind of power, and represents the direction of the rise of the entire folk music that Lin Bao wants to promote this time.
"In addition, after today's training, a few teachers can take a few days off, or go home to have a look, and when it comes to the fifteenth of this month, we will do a rehearsal, and maybe at the end of this month, the first performance will begin, and it will be considered a debut. ”
Lin Bao said.
"At the end of this month?"
When Li Fugui heard this, he also continued to ask, "Where is it and what occasion?"
"The exact time is uncertain, but the location is probably at the Mercedes-Benz Center. ”
"When the time comes, there will be an e-sports tournament there, and a few teachers will help play a piece of music for the scene. ”
"Esports competitions?"
Hearing this word, several old musicians had a question mark in their heads, not knowing what it was.
However, since it had been arranged by Lin Bao and the studio, they naturally didn't have anything else to say.
Today's last day of training was also much easier.
In fact, it is mainly performed according to a lot of modern pop music arranged by Lin Bao for them, including the songs composed by Lin Bao himself.
In the afternoon, the last piece of pop music was practiced, and seeing that there was still time, they immediately discussed with each other and began to play some traditional folk music.
In fact, it is the fixed folk music that they used to play on red and white ceremonies when they walked the streets and alleys.
This kind of folk music is actually the one that can truly show the characteristics of these traditional folk instruments.
But it is precisely for this reason that these traditional folk music are not too acceptable to many young people nowadays.
In the training room, the erhu is hoarse, the drums are beating, and the sound of suona fills the entire room that has been treated with special music materials.
A few old musicians sat there, playing and playing, as if they had returned to that era.
There is also a feeling of nostalgia in the eyes.
Next to it, the sewing machine band, Lin Bao, Cao Zige, and Allen, who would come up to the recording studio every afternoon to do chores for a few teachers, sat there, watching and listening to the performances of a few old musicians in the field.
It's all fun, too.
In fact, the reason for the timbre of these traditional folk music music is that there are not many gatherings or banquet scenes that are influenced by Western traditions, and the atmosphere will be very strange.
However, these traditional folk music have their own characteristics and powers.
Listening to it, it's that kind of atmosphere, it's that kind of liveliness.
......
After the training, except for Li Fugui, several other old people chose to take a plane and went home for a spin.
After staying for three or four days, he flew back to the magic capital and continued to prepare for the formal performance in the recording studio in the music square.
"Teachers, the song "Victory" that I played this time is a new song I recently wrote. ”
Lin Bao also began to explain to several old musicians, "The whole performance time is about five minutes and twenty seconds, and I will send you the score...... In addition, because it will be a live performance, it will be in the Mercedes Center, and the venue is very large, so although there will be sound pickup on the spot, but in terms of effect, if it is just six pieces of folk music, it will be very thin and will not show the effect of this song. So, there will be some accompaniment from other instruments at that time. However, when the time comes, these accompaniments will be backstage, and the main performance will be you, the six teachers. ”
"Good. ”
A few old musicians basically have no opinion on these arrangements.
took the scores from Lin Bao's hands one by one, and also looked at them carefully.
In fact, when they were training before, they often heard several people in the sewing machine band, including the young man named Allen, playing with those Western instruments.
The whole tune and the general direction can still be felt.
It is a high-pitched music with a high tempo at the same time.
Several old musicians are still good at music appreciation, and they can naturally feel the power of such a music.
They don't know what a war song is, but the power in such a song and the inspiring feeling conveyed by it will definitely be very shocking when played with these traditional folk music.
Immediately, a few old musicians took the score and began to study it separately.
......
It's late November.
"Farewell My Concubine", which was postponed for a month, has successfully exceeded 4 billion at the domestic box office. threw out the 3.1 billion of "The End of the World", which was released at the same time, by nearly 900 million.
This can be regarded as the first time in the history of the domestic box office that a domestic film released at the same time has overwhelmed a Hollywood blockbuster.
Moreover, it is also a menacing, giant wheel-like blockbuster.
Moreover, it still crushed the box office of nearly 900 million.
For the Chinese people, this is definitely a very commemorative thing, and it is also a proud thing.
In recent years, with the great development of the domestic economy, including the entertainment industry, the development of many domestic directions has begun to rise, not weaker than foreign countries, and even emerging industries such as the Internet are not even available abroad.
In terms of film and television, it has always been regarded as one of the cores of the entertainment industry, and it also truly represents the development level of a country's entertainment industry.
It is an industry, but also a culture.
However, no matter how good a film is, there will still be a time for it to be released.
The last day of November passed, and "Farewell My Concubine" did not continue to be postponed.
And this film, which is currently the highest-rated domestic film, has a final box office of 4.37 billion, creating a record at the domestic box office. At the same time, it is also showing the world the huge scale of the domestic film industry and the rise of domestic films in the East.
As the creator and cast and crew of the movie, he naturally gained great glory and fame.
With the unsurprising first protagonist, Yu Chenghao's fame can be said to have skyrocketed, and he has even become the one with the highest box office among the king-level superstars who want to or are already walking in film and television songs.
Although he still lacks a TV series, he still relies on the performance of "Farewell My Concubine" and the box office of more than 4 billion, which is enough to establish his identity and status as a new generation of actors.
Previously, after nearly ten years in the music industry, he won the title of Little Heavenly King.
Now, with this movie, the word "small" can be removed without dispute.
The birth of a new king is also a big event in the entertainment industry.
Several other actors, including those from the Opera Association, or young actors in other youth troupes, are all because of the gilded bonus of this movie, and the next development path will be smoother, and even prosperous.
The performance of several old actors in the play is not surprising, it is still eye-catching, even if there are not many scenes, but it is not weaker than Yu Chenghao, whose acting skills are explosive. They, as well as the discussion on the Internet about their highlight clips, have once again brought these old actors to the public.
The explosive acting moments and highlight moments of many old actors were also dug up by netizens.
Compared with those youth idols or traffic stars now, these highlight moments are real acting explosions and professional qualities that real actors should have.
Originally, because his fame was incompatible with this movie, Lu Yuan, who was ready to accept the wild spray of netizens, also received praise.
Because of the foil of several previous movies and dramas, his performance in "Farewell My Concubine" this time can be said to be an exaggerated progress. Black turns to fans, passers-by turn to fans, and fans are even happier things are constantly happening, and he can be regarded as walking on the road from idol to strength that Zheng Rong pointed out to him when he left remote entertainment before.
The literary film team under Tang Film and Television, which was filmed with Lin Bao, was also put in front of the stage and entered the public eye. Director Feng, who is the assistant director, actually has a lot of fame in the industry, but because he has been making literary films, his reputation has always been inferior to those commercial film directors.
This time, he was sent by the Tang people to Lin Bao's director team as an assistant director, but to some extent, he surrendered his identity. But the final result, on the contrary, entered the attention of the media and the public. After returning to Tangren, the company also directly arranged several film projects for him to follow up.
Photographer Yin Chuan, among all these cast and crew, is a real amateur.
Before participating in the filming of the movie, he basically did wedding photography, although he had some fame, but he couldn't get on the stage after all. And this time, with "Farewell My Concubine", he can be said to have really jumped up.
Zheng Rong also signed him directly, because he himself is also a graduate of the director department, so he is positioned as the first director in the studio besides the boss.
As for Lin Bao, not to mention.
A "Farewell My Concubine", from the screenwriter to the director, to the explosive acting skills of several actors, made him almost jump into the ranks of top directors in China. At the same time, he is also the one with the highest box office among domestic directors.
The box office of 4.37 billion is more than the total box office of those old directors who have been filming for more than ten years or even decades!
According to media reviews, this year, all the seats in China, including one of the three major film festivals, have been booked for the best director and the best film. In the following year's Hollywood Best Foreign Language Film Awards, "Farewell My Concubine" also became the biggest hit.
The influence and popularity brought by "Farewell My Concubine" did not decay too much because of its release.
In addition to the impact of film revenue, the role of this film in the promotion of opera has also gradually developed.
The influence of a phenomenal film is full, especially such a very symbolic and stylistic film content, which may drive the development of an entire industry chain.
The inheritance of opera and the promotion of opera are the reasons why Lin Bao made this movie.
After the guidance and publicity of the studio and the Opera Association, during the same period of the film's release, including after the release, the enthusiasm and discussion of the entire domestic society, whether on the Internet or offline, ordinary people and netizens for opera have maintained a very high height. Even, once exceeded the heat of various public opinion, gossip, and entertainment industry news.
Although the popularity of this search has dropped with the release of the movie, it is still completely unimaginable in the previous opera industry.
In the first two years, those old opera people who were struggling there and thinking about the way out of opera would never have imagined that one day in the future, the search popularity of domestic opera would exceed the popularity of the gossip news in the entertainment industry that they hated very much. Although they may have fantasized so in their hearts, they definitely did not expect that one day it would come true.
