Chapter Seventy-Five: A Fire of Campus Folk Songs [Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection]

Where does the wind of campus folk songs come from, and how did it go from rising to silent?

There are many opinions on the Internet.

In various theories, Tsinghua University, Gao Ge, Xu Hongfei, etc. are all people and things that cannot be bypassed.

From the 70s of the last century, the rise of campus songs in Taiwan, to the 90s in the mainland set off a "campus folk song" craze, campus songs with ear-catching melodies, moving lyrics have become the youth memory of several generations, the thoughts and feelings contained in the songs, still inspire and move people today.

During this period, the mainland music scene was experiencing the baptism of two storms, the "northwest wind" and the "Hong Kong typhoon". After a few rounds, mainland music not only failed miserably, but also exposed a lot of imperfections in the system, production, publicity, and distribution.

The campus folk songs that survive in the cracks have soared.

Gao Ge, Xu Hongfei and others took advantage of the east wind of campus folk songs to successfully create a number of popular campus songs, which were only sung on the campus of Tsinghua University at first, and then became popular in major universities across the country.

The arrival of capital quickly swept the whole society through successful business operations and produced great repercussions.

With more and more campus musicians joining it, this period should belong to the golden period of campus folk songs.

The golden period of belonging to campus folk songs is not long.

Internet singers are becoming popular and black and red, movie stars and TV actors have jumped to the music scene to test the waters, the serious lack of creative talents, the impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan international music on the mainland, and the chaos and recession of the domestic record market.

Many campus singers have changed careers or retired from the circle, or changed their music images to pray for a share of the huge music market.

After getting married, Gao Ge focused more on behind-the-scenes creation, immersed in his own music world.

The flowers of school folk songs are gradually decaying......

During this period, the prosperity of folk music creation and the popularization of the Internet also brought a number of "underground campus folk songs" to the surface, but they were all short-lived, fleeting, and had little impact on the campus folk song industry.

In those years when campus folk songs were in full swing, Tsinghua University can be said to be the cradle and fertile soil for the creation of campus folk songs.

The musicians who emerge from this Tsinghua Park, which is famous for its science and engineering majors, are always talked about.

For so many years, outsiders still haven't figured out why Tsinghua, a science and engineering university known for its rigor and pragmatism, produces so many campus singers.

Xu Hongfei, a half-witted man who dropped out of Tsinghua University halfway, also had to admit that his alma mater had a magical magic in music.

The rigorous and realistic campus also has 'wind and snow' for students.

…………………………

After chatting about working with other musicians in the company, Xu Hongfei drove his big G home, according to his stature, the average model really can't fit him, or it's uncomfortable to sit and drive.

Big G is just right!

After arriving home, Xu Hongfei showed off with his daughter-in-law.

"You know that you're also on fire today!"

The daughter-in-law gave him a blank look and did not say anything.

"Daughter-in-law, it's true. As he spoke, Xu Hongfei took out his mobile phone and showed it to her, with a satisfied smile on his face, "Look at my Weibo, the comments below are all posting photos of the gentlemen when they were young, and they also said that they want to watch our band's performance again!"

"That doesn't have much to do with you?" his daughter-in-law pouted, and her words hit him up, "You're not the lead singer, people can go to concerts with themselves, can you?"

"Why can't you do it? You girl dare to doubt your husband's ability?" Xu Hongfei was annoyed, how could a man say no?

What started as a serious topic gradually slipped towards the edge of driving.

After verbally educating him, Xu Hongfei let go of his daughter-in-law and talked about it seriously.

"Seriously, if I have the opportunity, I really want to pay for organizing a concert, the tickets don't need to be too expensive, just don't lose money, pull up a few of them, and then stand on the stage and sing, crazy!"

As he spoke, Xu Hongfei couldn't help but recall the picture of his youth in his mind.

Everyone says that 'campus ballads' are the youthful memories of several generations, but what is in those songs and lyrics is not the youth of their group of singers?

From the hairy boy singing all the way to middle age, half a lifetime has passed, music has brought great changes to their lives, and he is now considered to have a successful career and a harmonious family.

Looking at the recent wave of collective reminiscences caused by Gao Ge on the Internet, he wants to join in.

"How much does it cost?"

Hearing his words, the housekeeper's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked.

Xu Hongfei licked his lips and carefully stretched out a slap.

"Half a million?"

Hearing his daughter-in-law's words, Xu Hongfei immediately shook his head and replied with some humility, "That's not possible, you have to add another '0' at the end." ”

Venue rental fees, public security, fire protection, stage construction, labor, on-site executive director, dancers, hotels, commercial vehicles, on-site decoration, etc., all cost a lot of money.

Not to mention that the performance still needs to be reported and the documents need to be approved.

"So much?" the daughter-in-law's voice also raised, "where are you going to do it, Bird's Nest?"

"Workers' bodies. Xu Hongfei replied, he didn't forget to comfort his daughter-in-law, "Don't worry, this is still an idea, and I also know that I can't afford to open a work stadium now." ”

Gao Ge and Xu Hongfei have also held concerts in the past, but most of them are small indoor venues, and they are all plattered with other bands and singers at the level of Gongti.

"Just think about it, don't worry about it. ”

Xu Hongfei is good to think about it casually, but his daughter-in-law doesn't think about it casually.

Five million is not a small amount, so what can I do if I can't sit in a big field?

Wouldn't that be a loss of money?

Xu Hongfei hurriedly began to appease on the side, made a promise, and raised his hand to swear, which could be regarded as dispelling the cranky thoughts in her heart.

After coaxing his wife, his daughter-in-law went to the kitchen to cook, Xu Hongfei became an uncle in the living room, turned on the TV and watched it.

Just as he was fascinated by it, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone and pressing the answer button, Xu Hongfei opened his mouth and asked, "Hello?"

"Hello, is it Mr. Xu Hongfei?"

A male voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, yes, I am, who are you?" Xu Hongfei nodded.

"Hello Mr. Xu, I am Zhang Wei from the preparatory group of the Tsinghua University Campus Singer Competition, this is the case, this campus singer competition has entered the final stage, I would like to invite you and Mr. Gao as guests. ”

"As a band born on the Tsinghua campus, we also hope to see you and Mr. Gao perform again on the stage of this final......

Xu Hongfei didn't pay attention to the polite words in the back paragraph, his mind had already run away from the nine heavens.

Are you ready to go on stage?

Or do you want to perform in front of your juniors?

Thinking of this, Xu Hongfei's mood became more and more excited!
