finally arrived at Gu Jianlin's office, but found that there was no one inside.

After making a phone call, the old man was attending the Best Music Chart Awards Ceremony.

This is a music festival held by Best Beverage, and Gu Jianlin was invited to be the guest of honor in the past.

"Xiao Chen, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay Mr. Gu, you're busy first, I just recently wrote a musical, I want to show you if I can perform it?"

"Ah, what? you wait for me, I'll go back right now!"

"Aren't you attending the awards?"

"You don't have to worry about it, let the leaders of their enterprises award it themselves. ”

"Doodoo ......"

The phone hung up.

......

A remote square in the magic capital, which has always been sparsely populated, has completely changed since Best held a music festival here.

The beverage giant Best is very old, but the thinking is very young.

At this time, a large-scale concert was held with the theme of rock and roll, intending to catch the attention of this generation of young people.

Best Up and Down can be said to attach great importance to this music event, and invited many popular singers to come over as judges.

However, at this moment, Gu Jianlin directly found the person in charge of Best Best.

"Mr. Liu, I have something urgent to leave here, so you better find someone else for the award presenter. ”

It took a while for Mr. Liu to react, and he was the guest of honor who was going to take the burden and quit.

If ordinary people say such things to him, he will not be allowed to use his own wrists to force the other party to stay, but in the face of this Taishan Beidou in the music industry, he can only offer good words.

"Teacher Gu, are you not satisfied with the treatment? In this way, I will double it for you, how about it?"

Gu Jianlin shook his head: "Mr. Liu, you misunderstood, it's really not a matter of price, I'm really in a hurry." This time it's me who is wrong, so ...... Next time, if Mr. Liu has such an event, I can participate in it without any cost!"

"Teacher Gu, what is it that is so urgent? Can't you wait for a few hours?"

The music in the venue kept coming to this side, and it was still a rock song, which was very burning.

is also like Gu Jianlin's mood at this time, with a hint of expectation.

He shook his head: "I can't stay for a moment......"

Although he is nominally Chen Xiao's teacher, only he knows that he has not given Chen Xiao anything other than the foundation at all.

But every score Chen Xiao took out surprised him.

If it's just a "Bat Overture", that's it, barely justifiable.

But it didn't take long for Chen Xiao to come up with "Cat's Rhapsody" again, and the creation of this music can be said to have surpassed his own peak.

If he hadn't met Chen Xiao, it would have been difficult for him to imagine that there would be such a person in the world.

This kind of person seems to have been born for music.

And Chen Xiao did not disappoint him, creating miracles again and again.

Now, Chen Xiao told him that he had written a musical, how could this not arouse his curiosity.

even, he did not hesitate to break the contract with Best just to see the script score a few hours in advance.

......

"Hey, Chen Xiao, why are you standing at this door?"

"Teacher Shen, I'm waiting for Teacher Gu here, and he told me to wait for him here. ”

Shen Di's eyes suddenly lit up: "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Oh...... This is the musical script I just wrote, and I want to show it to Mr. Gu. ”

"Musicals?"

Shen Di stretched out his hand directly: "What kind of musical does that old man know, show me?"

"Good ......"

Shen Di took the script and looked at the name - "The Phantom of the Opera", and then took a few general glances.

"Let's go, don't wait here yet, come to me first. ”

"Teacher Shen, Teacher Gu said he would be there soon. ”

"Oh, okay, let's go into the office. ”

After entering the office, Shen Di sat directly in Gu Jianlin's position, and then turned over the script.

Although "The Phantom of the Opera" has the word opera, it is actually a musical, and there is a difference between the two.

It's about an opera house where strange things happen frequently, the original lead actress is almost stoned to death, and a creepy illusory male voice appears in the theater.

The voice comes from a 'ghost' who lives in the labyrinth of the theater's underground, who falls in love with an actress and secretly teaches her to sing and helps her get the position of the heroine, while the actress is in love with the theater agent, which leads to a series of episodes such as jealousy, chases, and murders.

Eventually, the 'ghost' discovers that his love for the actress has outstripped his personal possessiveness, so he leaves behind his cloak and mask and disappears alone into the dimly lit underground labyrinth.

In the previous life, "The Phantom of the Opera" was very successful, and no matter how many years have passed, it has not been eliminated by time.

If you have to choose one of the top 10 musicals in the world, it goes without saying that "The Phantom of the Opera" will definitely occupy a place.

Don't think that this musical is French, it will be difficult to get domestic recognition.

Know that music knows no borders.

In fact, there has long been a Chinese adaptation of "The Phantom of the Opera", the original and the same classic.

Moreover, the original Phantom of the Opera was not flawless.

In fact, in terms of plot, this musical is still not well expressed.

For example, the male protagonist, in the whole play, is like a special airborne person who falls in love, only showing the handsomeness and gentleness of a rich man's son, and ignoring the weak rich son to the expression of courage to move forward even if he knows that he is afraid of the darkness for the sake of his loved ones.

There is also the heroine, in more than half of the plot, her performance is dependent, fearful, sympathetic but not enough to understand the phantom, which is not quite in line with the image of an empathetic heroine.

Times are changing, and people's ability to appreciate is also improving.

So Chen Xiao also made slight changes to this musical.

It doesn't take much to change, maybe just one lyric can change that.

"It's true that I've been a screenwriter, and the script is written differently. ”

After reading the script, Shen Di sighed secretly and asked, "Is there a music score?"

A musical is not a movie, and although the script is important, the most important thing is the music.

"Yes. Chen Xiao took out the score and lyrics that had been prepared long ago.

Shen Di didn't read the lyrics first, because this can be filled in casually, and even filling in Chinese or English, there is not much difference.

So she looked at the sheet music first.

But this look, Shen Di couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

The music symbols on the paper seemed to be magical, shooting straight into her heart, and she couldn't help but scratch a few pieces of paper in her hand.

It looks like a treasure, and I'm a little excited.

It's no wonder that she is so excited, it's really that the domestic musical market is declining too much.

Speaking of domestic classical music, it is really sad enough, the country receives more and more musicals with copyright every year, but there are fewer and fewer of them that can become high-quality products.

Music belongs to the whole world, but China seems to be not one of them.

Basically, most of the excellent musicals are imported foreign copyright adaptations.

In fact, it's not just musicals, even dances like ballet, there are not many in Huaxia that can do it.

In recent years, the state has been encouraging creativity.

But with little success.

It's not because musicals don't make money, so no one creates them.

In fact, musicals are really making money when they are done well.

If a movie is made well, it will earn some box office when it is released, and after deducting the messy expenses, it would be good to be able to earn a billion.

But for a good musical, sometimes a performance may earn more than 50 million.

And if the reputation is good, you can perform for decades, and you can perform casually all over the world every year, so you don't make too much money.

And the increasing number of musicals in China also proves this.

It's not that there are fewer people who write musicals, it's that there are too few people who can write good musicals.

But the gap between the country and the West is definitely not so easy to make up, and the disadvantage in musicals is not the past two years.
