Chapter 67: Inspiration Rushes
A good work is inseparable from a good name.
For example, "You at the Same Table".
If you change the name and call it "Campus Song" (PS: just a name), I'm afraid it will definitely not get the popularity it has today.
Or the song called "Silk Play", although it has not yet been released, it still sounds better than "Puppet Song" (PS: also just a name).
So, the name is important!
But......
How to come up with a suitable name is really a headache.
After Peng Hui's revision, the script of this movie has changed from the male protagonist at the beginning to the female protagonist.
The story also takes place on campus.
And add a little element of campus romance.
But in the final analysis, it is a showdown between folk music and Western music.
This is the benchmark for the whole film and the source of inspiration for Peng Hui.
But......
Inexplicably, it feels a little thin.
The story is in the hands of Peng Hui, and it is divided into Western music that looks down on folk music at the beginning, and folk music itself is not competitive.
Let's talk about the current situation of folk music.
Then the school wants to abolish the folk music department.
The students of the Department of Folk Music showed a group portrait.
Some of them gave up on themselves and chose to switch to Western music.
Some sighed and sat still.
And some people are fighting back, ready to prove to him that folk music is no worse than Western music when the school director inspects!
And this person is the heroine!
So far, that's all the plot has gone on.
But the next script gave Peng Hui a headache.
I have to say that the current situation of folk music is a problem that many people are very sad about.
I still remember what Guo Yue said at the beginning.
"It's not that we don't know that folk music is no worse than Western music, but ...... Western music has ample prospects for future development, plus various competitions, professional titles, and the like, it can be said that the future is unlimited, but what about folk music? Even if we do prove on some occasions that our folk music is not weaker than Western music, what about the development of folk music? The best thing for us people is to enter the song and dance troupe and then go to learn, but there are too many Chinese people, and what about those who have not been admitted to the song and dance troupe? They can only go to become tutors, but with such prospects, who will want to continue to invest?"
After listening to this, Peng Hui fell deeper and deeper into contemplation.
He is not a savior, and he can't even save his own puppet performance department, so he can only sit and watch the school be canceled.
So in the future of folk music, he can only love and help.
But since the subject matter has been chosen, it is inevitable that it needs to be perfected.
In other words, even if he can't do it, for the sake of the movie, he must give a clear way!
It's hard.
It's equivalent to him challenging a question that countless seniors didn't think of answering!
It's certainly hard.
Even Peng Hui lost a lot of hair for this.
Fortunately, he is young now, and his hair grows quickly, otherwise, he would really become bald.
Otherwise, luck comes, and no one can stop it.
Just when Peng Hui kept losing his hair for the follow-up plot and name, when he was eating in the cafeteria, he happened to see a classmate at the next table watching a video.
The voice in the video is the guzheng!
Among the traditional folk music, compared with the more popular erhu, pipa, drums and suona, Peng Hui personally likes the guzheng.
Maybe it's because I listened to "Guangling San" when I was a child.
Of course, Peng Hui later learned that what he heard was not "Guangling San", nor was it a guzheng.
It's the piano.
But Rao is like this, he still likes the guzheng very much.
And the guzheng player in the video is wearing a bright red robe!
It's the kind of kaftan worn by literati and artists!
With curiosity, Peng Hui took the initiative to ask about this video.
Only then did I know that this was actually on station B.
In fact, as an anchor, Peng Hui knows Station B.
It's just that he's busy studying, so a lot of times he just plays games, and he doesn't know much about station B.
As far as he knows, the song played in the video is not an ancient song, but a pop song!
Playing pop songs with a guzheng?
Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in Peng Hui's mind!
He froze in place.
"Plop, plop!" In Peng Hui's whole world, only the powerful beating sound of his heart remained!
Inspiration, like a blowout, quickly comes to mind!
Follow-up plot ......
Pregnant!
In the script, the band of the female protagonist and the male protagonist is a folk band.
In other words, they perform folk music.
But......
Folk music shouldn't just be ancient songs!
Why not play a modern pop song with a traditional instrument?
And looking at the UP master in that video, there are more than 2 million views, which means that at least 200,000 people have watched it!
That's the potential audience for this type of work!
As long as the script can grasp the current popular elements......
Not only can you gain a lot of money, but you can also point out a way out for folk music!
After figuring it out, Peng Hui looked at the video on his phone that had ended and smiled bitterly.
How good would it be if he was in the Department of Folk Music?
It's a pity that he is a puppet performer.
And his department has been canceled.
The point is, unlike folk music, which has declined, puppet theatre has no future at all.
Over the years, because of those directors, the relationship of "puppet = puppet = evil thing" has become a fixed image in the hearts of the audience.
Maybe there will be people who love this kind of drama, but ......
Definitely not too much.
Although folk music is in decline, fortunately, in some remote mountain villages and other places, some folk music is still needed.
For example, what drums, what suona.
Therefore, folk music will never be worried about running out of sales.
It's just that there's no big future ahead of it.
Peng Hui was a little helpless.
However, this is also a script written by him, and soon the unhappiness will be suppressed, and Peng Hui will rush to find Guo Yue.
He still has one more question to figure out.
"Do you want to combine the second dimension with folk music?" Guo Yue was completely stunned after listening to Peng Hui's meaning.
Two-dimensional?
Folk music?
When it comes to "two-dimensional", the first thing that comes to Guo Yue's mind is those cat girls and Lolita and the like.
When it comes to "folk music", it is naturally the ancient songs.
It seems that there are two things that don't want to be turned off, how can it be ......
"I saw someone playing pop songs with folk music instruments on station B. ”
"Huh?" Guo Yue was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned his head and ran outside.
"Eh, you wait for me!" Peng Hui hurriedly chased after him.
Guo Yue ran all the way to the dormitory.
Then take out your dulcimer and sit down.
Holding the dulcimer, Guo Yue closed her eyes.
Peng Hui, who rushed over, saw Guo Yue's appearance, relaxed his steps and sat on the bed on the side.
Silently waiting for Guo Yue's performance.
