Chapter 61: Campus Ballads Are Dead
As soon as the camera of the reality show variety show is turned on, there is no time to stop.
Although the staff of the program team all know not to be in the camera as much as possible, someone always quietly comes to Gao Ge's side and asks him about the song "Love in the Dust".
"Mr. Gao, when will this song be downloaded?"
Wang Peng, the scene reporter of the program group, pretended to come to the kitchen to look for something, and came to Gao Ge's side and asked in a whisper.
At this time, Gao Ge and Cai Wen were trying to rescue the fried sauce in the pot, but unfortunately it was too long, and when the lid was lifted, there was a mushy smell, so I had to pour it out and make it again.
Hearing Wang Peng's words, Gao Ge shook his head and said, "This song hasn't been recorded yet, so it is estimated that I will have to wait for a while." ”
"Huh?"
There are no words that can describe the helplessness in Wang Peng's heart.
For him, a man in the middle of his thirties, campus folk songs are a hurdle that can never be bypassed, a memory that cannot be bypassed.
Youth cannot be replaced, because it contains too many memories, and time flies and can never be returned.
After listening to Gao Ge's song "Love in the Dust" today, the past appeared in front of him in turn, as if he was fresh yesterday, and his youth seemed to have never ended.
After getting an uncertain answer from Gao Ge, Wang Peng had no choice but to give up and come to the photographer of the program team, and set up a routine with the photographer friend, "Go back, you can reduce the video of Gao Ge singing and send it to me......"
"You're the third to tell me. The friend said helplessly.
It seems that there are many people who share this idea.
"I've worked hard, I'll invite you to dinner when I turn around. ”
The discussion among the staff outside was hot, and Cai Wen in the kitchen asked Gao Ge while re-frying the sauce, "When did you write this campus ballad?"
In the eyes of Cai Wen, an old friend, Gao Ge has not touched campus folk songs for many years since the band disbanded in the Youth Pain Period.
is not only singing, but also a group of friends in the circle like Xu Hongfei, who are engaged in bands and folk songs, have begun to find another way, or move behind the scenes to create, or sell roast duck part-time, or become hosts, of course, more people have left the industry they once loved.
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.
The remark that 'campus folk songs are dead' was the last public opinion encirclement and suppression of this genre in the traditional music scene at that time.
Faced with Cai Wen's question, Gao Ge opened his mouth and replied, "The previous inventory. ”
After listening to Gao Ge's explanation, Cai Wen nodded understandingly, but there was a lot of confusion in his heart, "Lao Gao, why do you say that campus folk songs are silent in the mainstream market?"
This is probably the first time that Cai Wen has mentioned such a profound issue when he starred in "Leisurely Life".
In the past, when guests came over, they chatted most of the time, and because they had a working relationship with most of the guests, they would not mention deeper topics.
However, when facing Gao Ge, an old friend, Cai Wen raised the question that had plagued him for many years for the first time. He loves and misses campus folk songs, nostalgia for that era, and the silence of campus folk songs also makes him sad.
"Because the times are different, because there is no campus culture now, and now the walls of the campus are shorter and open to the outside world, unlike the ivory tower in the past, where the gongs and drums are noisy outside, and the spring and snow are white inside. ”
Gao Ge pondered the sentence and said, "At that time, the inside and outside of the ivory tower were very distinct, and the life on the university campus was very simple, but now the university campus is getting closer and closer to society, and the folk songs are not so pure. ”
"Music was like a poem in our time, and now music is more like FMCG, there are so many choices. They live in a wider world now than we did, and their attention is constantly being distracted by new things from the outside world. ”
"In our days, we would listen to an album for a year and listen to it hundreds of times. But now it won't, and new songs can be replaced at any time in the computer and mobile phone music APP. ”
Cai Wen, who had never thought deeply about this issue, also figured it out after listening to Gao Ge's words.
The campus has changed, and so has the market.
The torrent of the times is irreversible, and many people's campus ballads in their youthful memories can only be recalled now, which is a pity in his opinion.
"Is it possible to rekindle the commercial potential of campus folk songs?" Cai Wen asked again.
"Maybe there is......
This time, Gao Ge didn't dwell too much on this topic, looked at the fried sauce in the pot, and said, "Are you okay over there, I'll make a note." ”
"That's it!"
With the cooperation of the two of them, the first lunch of the day was ready.
..........................................
After lunch, Mr. Liu took a group of children to work in the fields, and the young people of the twenties were chattering under the leadership of Mr. Liu, who was twenty years old in the mental age.
Gao Ge and Cai Wen, two 'old men', were building an earthen stove in the yard with mud, planning to burn some charcoal for a while and eat barbecue at night.
After finishing the work, the two of them sat on a small stool in the courtyard to rest, too lazy to move one more step.
"Do you drink water?"
Hearing the sound of boiling water in the kitchen, Cai Wen asked.
"Bring me a drink. Gao Ge was not polite.
Hearing his answer, Cai Wen had a smile on his face, "I have wolfberries bought from Ningxia here, and I'll make you a cup later." ”
Not long after, Cai Wen came to the courtyard with two cups of steaming wolfberry water, and the red and dark red wolfberry flesh in the glass was like a little elf, floating up and down with people's movements.
The two old men were holding a glass of wolfberry water alone, drinking and chatting, in stark contrast to the youthful and energetic young man on the other side of the camera.
It has been nearly ten hours since he came here, and Gao Ge has gradually adapted to the scene of camera tracking wherever he goes.
The sky was getting dark, and the other guests who had finished their work and shooting also came back, and when they came back to see Gao Ge and Cai Wen preparing meat skewers and vegetable skewers for barbecue, the eyes of this group of young people who were already hungry lit up.
"Teacher Gao, Teacher Cai, shall we have barbecue at night?"
"Yes. Gao Ge nodded and replied, the movement of wearing strings on his hands did not stop, "Any of you go to wash your hands, and come to help, multiple people hurry up." ”
At this moment, a crescent moon hangs in the air, the small courtyard is brightly lit because of the filming of the program, and the wisps of smoke from the barbecue rise and drift in the air, mixed with the aroma of carbon and meat.
It's been a busy day of filming, and both the host and the guests are tired enough.
There were meat, vegetables and sponsored drinks in the small courtyard, and everyone recovered their spirits again, and after getting along for most of the day, several young people got closer and talked more.
They were still talking about music just now, and at some point they turned to love again.
Xu is noon's song "Love in the Dust" let them understand Gao Ge's generation's understanding of love, with a hint of curiosity, everyone wants to hear the love story of that generation.
"Mr. Cai, how did you and your wife meet?"
Gao Ge on the side smiled and took a sip of wolfberry water, watching the excitement on the side......
