Zhu Danzi's heart breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Zheng agreed, otherwise it would be embarrassing. In this way, she also felt that Ye Zheng was much more kind, so she smiled and asked, "Then what are you going to perform, do you want to sing a song for all of us?"
"I have a bad voice, and I'm afraid that singing will scare you. Everyone is so busy, I can't let my singing affect everyone's sleep. Ye Zheng joked. There was a chuckle in the audience, and everyone also saw the scene just now, and many people could guess what happened, so the host temporarily pulled Ye Zheng to perform. And Ye Zheng agreed simply, without any surprise or panic, which made many people look up to him again.
Previously, he won the award twice in a row, and he didn't show excitement, but just smiled and said something humble and respectful. Now when you encounter this kind of thing, you can deal with it calmly and are willing to help others resolve their troubles. This kind of calmness is not something that everyone at this age has. "Okay, so what kind of show are you performing?" asked Zhu Danzi.
Ye Zheng looked at the piano on the side of the podium, which was the one that Du Hao played before, and said with a smile: "I'll just play a piano piece!" "Piano music?" Zhu Danzi smiled: "Okay! Which piano piece do you want to play?" "Canon." Ye Zheng said.
"Canon?" Du Hao wondered, "I know this kind of music composition technique, but I have never heard of a piano piece called "Canon". Do you want to play a piano piece with canon techniques?" Ye Zheng smiled and shook his head: "No, this piano piece does use canon techniques, but it was composed by myself, so I directly named it "Canon". "Your own piano music?" Du Hao's eyes widened in surprise, and after a while, he said incredulously: "It's really surprising, I can't imagine that you can compose piano music in addition to lyrics and music! Okay, we all welcome Ye Zheng with warm applause and bring us this piano piece "Canon" composed by him!"
The applause rang out, and everyone in the audience was quite surprised, as musicians, of course, they knew the difference between playing piano music and composing piano music. Ye Zheng doesn't seem to be a fool, so what kind of piano music is this that makes Ye Zheng have the confidence to play it? "Brother Ye can also play the piano?" Zhao Tong in the square was surprised. "The most difficult thing is to compose piano music?" Xiao Qi said, "I didn't know he had this ability." Hehe, the man I fancy is really not simple!"
In front of the TV, Ye Pei'an and Lin Ruolan glanced at each other. When will their son play the piano? Why don't they know at all? At this time, Ye Zheng had already walked to the piano and sat down. The applause faded and the scene fell silent. Ye Zheng's ten fingers rested on the keys, and as the first key was pressed, Canon's melody slowly flowed out. The canon is a musical genre that can be traced back to the folk music form of the 13th century until the 15th century, when the complete canon appeared and was used by many composers. The most widely circulated is the classical music composed by Johann Bachbert in the 17th century.
Later, this classic piece was modified into different versions by many musicians, and according to statistics, there are as many as 2,000 canon versions that have been reinterpreted around the world! It is also this version of the canon that makes the romantic style of the canon popular. The notes flowed slowly. The audience was quiet, Lin Wanqing originally wanted to ask Zhou Ke, Ye Zheng can even compose piano music, but now she is immersed in this classic piano music. Lingering and compassionate, it is immersive, this is Lin Wanqing's feeling, and it is also the feeling of everyone who is listening carefully to this piano music.
Canon is a kind of polyphonic music writing technique, simply put, there are several melodies in sequence, intersecting, imitating each other, following each other, giving people the feeling of continuity. The melody of this piano piece is simple and simple, but it has a precise and perfect musical structure, which fully shows the charm of counterpoint and gives people a lingering feeling. It's like a pair of undying love in the world, and those who love each other are like a person following life and death, which is touching. The scene was very quiet, only Ye Zheng's piano sound flowed slowly. The square was quiet, everyone was listening to the piano music quietly, even the passing private cars stopped, and the people in the cars opened their windows and listened quietly. In front of the TV, Ye Pei'an and Lin Ruolan listened quietly, Su Momo listened quietly, and Ye Nan and her roommates, who had just returned to the dormitory after being busy, were also listening quietly......
I don't know who is sighing silently, I don't know who suddenly burst into tears. I don't know when, the piano music was played, but the scene was still quiet, and the square was also quiet. Ye Zheng slowly stood up and bowed to everyone. Three or two rounds of applause rang out, as if a match had lit a bunch of fireworks, and the deafening applause exploded with a bang! At the scene, in the square, and in front of the television. Some applauded, some cheered, some pondered, some smiled, and some wiped away tears...... "Amazing!
Wonderful!" Du Hao shouted. Zhu Danzi wiped the corners of her eyes, her eyes were red, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "This song makes me feel very complicated, as if many emotions are mixed in it, sadness, joy, calm, warmth, sorrow, I can't extricate myself." "This feeling is called memory!" Du Hao sighed lightly and said: "The combination of various emotions, the reciprocation of the melody is like the reciprocation of time, many things have passed, but some emotions are deeply precipitated in time and are indelible." When I think about it again, I feel melancholy in vain!" After a pause, he smiled and said: "Look, what a good piano piece, which can be called a classic canon song, actually hooked out my literary and artistic fan......"
As he spoke, he praised Ye Zheng and said, "I really can't imagine that you have such a high level at such a young age, I will definitely ask you for advice when I have the opportunity!" Ye Zheng smiled: "Don't dare to be, communicate with each other." "No, it's really me going to learn from you......" Du Hao said seriously. Ye Zheng's song "Canon" impressed him. Not only him, tonight, Ye Zheng's song "Canon" deeply touched many people.
In this year's Asian Music Festival, in terms of music companies, Baina became the biggest winner. Personally, Ye Zheng is the biggest winner. Not only did he get a glimpse of his creative talent through the two awards, but also his talent in other fields through piano music. Subsequently, Ye Zheng held a small press conference of less than half an hour in accordance with his previous promise. The media had long been interested in Ye Zheng, so much so that the small room that day was filled with reporters, and some reporters couldn't even get in. This is the first time that Ye Zheng has faced flashing cameras and shaky lenses, as well as all kinds of microphones and microphones, especially in the face of all kinds of questions from reporters, although he answered calmly, he was quite unaccustomed to it.
After choosing to answer some questions, when a reporter asked: "Mr. Ye, you have such an amazing talent for songwriting at such a young age, and you even amazed everyone with an original piano piece just now." I don't know what your plans for the future are? Are you going to join a music company or a studio? As far as we know, you have a cooperative relationship with Baina Music, Peacock Music, and Blue Dream Records, and Mr. Zhou Ke of Wheat Field Music seems to have a good personal relationship with you. I wonder if you'll choose between these music companies?"
"Well, you media people are really well-informed. Ye Zheng fully affirmed the work of these entertainment media in collecting intelligence, and then said with a smile: "My future plan is not to join a certain music company or group. It's about starting your own music company!" exclaimed.
When Ye Zheng and Zhou Ke were busy for the establishment of the music company, Ye Nan was not idle. The call that day hit her hard, she always felt guilty, her brother helped her so much, but she couldn't help him when he needed help. Although she also understood that this was actually just because her brother had too many needs, she still couldn't suppress the guilt in her heart.
The only thing she relies on is the drama "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring". So, she mobilized all her connections in Yanjing to promote the drama performance. Fortunately, the first two performances in the school made this drama receive good reviews. Through the spread of friends on the Internet, and their crew's own publicity in reality, the comprehensive effect has achieved a good publicity effect.
Subsequently, more than 900 tickets for "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" were unexpectedly sold, and nearly 1,000 tickets were sold! The half-price venue rent of 20,000 yuan and other publicity expenses were removed. In the end, their profit actually reached 160,000 yuan! Ye Nan spent the 20,000 yuan of rent saved to buy a gift for the dean as a thank you, and the remaining 140,000 yuan According to the agreement, Ye Nan would have received 70,000 yuan alone! If this was before, Ye Nan would definitely be very happy. But think about it, 70,000 and my brother need at least a few million, and the gap is a little too big. However, the unexpected surprise is that the performance of this drama is highly evaluated, and after this performance, this drama will be famous in Yanjing the next day. Almost all the people who came to see this drama said that it was worth it! This is really a wonderful drama, a drama with an innovative spirit and whimsical ideas, and it can even be called the best work of drama in recent years! Some netizens gave such a high evaluation.
As a result, many people who like dramas want to watch it. Just three days later, "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" was performed again at the Tianqiao Grand Theater, and this time, the average ticket price was adjusted to about 300 yuan. So, Ye Nan happily added another 150,000 yuan to his account book.
Three days later, "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" was staged again, and the ticket price was adjusted to the level of ordinary dramas, with an average price of more than 400. However, 1,200 tickets were still sold out! Some viewers who had already seen them came to watch it again, and they even brought their families and friends with them! "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" has been rarely sought after in the drama industry! It is even more unprecedented for a drama created by a college student to be so highly praised and welcomed! On the Internet, the video of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" shot by netizens has been clicked many times. The content of this drama attracted a lot of people, but it was all a video shot by the audience, and the quality was not satisfactory. That's why a lot of people are looking forward to seeing live performances.
Five days later, "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" was staged again, this time at Yenching's largest theater, the Jewel Theater. This is the largest theater in Yanjing, with 2,200 seats, or 2,500 standing seats. Of course, the rent of the venue is also twice as much as the 40,000 yuan of the Tianqiao Grand Theater, 80,000 yuan per game. This time, the ticket price has been adjusted, but the basic average price is still more than 400. What is surprising is that the 2,200 seat tickets were sold out, and even more than 100 standing tickets were sold! This time, Ye Nan got 400,000 yuan! The shortage of tickets has increased the mystery of this drama and the audience's sense of expectation, especially the comments on the website of people who have watched the drama performance are even more heartwarming.
Douban is the largest social networking website in China, including music, books, film and television, photography, painting and other aspects, and the rating system of Douban is also the most authoritative national rating for domestic websites. It can be said that Douban's score on a thing can basically represent the real average score of this thing in the hearts of the whole people.
Many people pay attention to the drama "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", and they will go to Douban to see the ratings and comments. In the beginning, when the reviews of 200 people generated a rating, the rating was as high as 9.3. Of course, there are many of Ye Nan's friends who are all due to the 10-point evaluation. Later, after several performances and the video was more widely circulated, the number of reviews increased, but the rating dropped slightly, and finally stabilized at 9.1 points! 9.1 points! This evaluation score is unique in recent dramas! In the comment area below, it is even more applauding! "It is hard to imagine that two different stories can be so perfectly blended together, blending with each other to form a wonderful story. ”
"Some places make me laugh, and some places make me sad. And when the two troupes performed on stage at the same time, and the lines could be strung together, it was very funny, and I laughed but felt uncomfortable. What a subtle emotion. It's really hard to imagine that the creator has such a wonderful idea, great love!" "I've watched the live version twice, and I like it very much, but I have a question in my heart, what does that crazy woman and Liu Ziji mean, although I also feel that there is a deep meaning in it, and I can vaguely perceive that meaning. But I never thought clearly. ”
"When it comes to crazy women and Liu Ziji, I have to say that some friends still underestimate the creators of this drama. It's not a synthesis of two stories, it's three. A crush is one, a Peach Blossom Paradise is one, a madwoman and Liu Ziji are also a madwoman! And the most brilliant thing is also a madwoman, this is the soul, it involves the meaning of the secret love and the Peach Blossom Spring, and it has been sublimated again! The mad woman is the ultimate password for the meaning of this drama!" said a film critic named "Congjia".
"Who is Liu Ziji? The original text of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" has 'Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble man, heard it, and happily went to it. Unsuccessfully, the search for the disease ended. '. And in this drama, who is Liu Ziji? Liu Ziji is what everyone is looking for!" "Yun Zhifan is Liu Ziji of Jiangbin Liu. Jiangbin Liu is the Liu Ziji of Yun Zhifan. Jiang Binliu's heart is Mrs. Jiang's Liu Ziji. The Peach Blossom Source is Liu Ziji of Lao Tao. The grapes in their left hands, the wine in their right hands, and the children with pineapples in their mouths are Boss Yuan and Liu Ziji of Chunhua. Liu Ziji is Nanyang Street. Liu Ziji is a hot and sour noodle. Liu Ziji is a crush. Liu Ziji is a peach blossom source. Liu Ziji is the eye of every search. Liu Ziji is the petal of every sprinkled flower. Every one of us is looking for Liu Ziji. Liu Ziji's ......, which each of us is destined not to get" "What touched me the most was that at the end, the crazy woman in a trance stood in the center of the empty stage, muttering stupidly, that year, on Nanyang Street, there was a peach tree. The flowers on the peach tree have bloomed, Liu Ziji, each piece is your name, and each piece is your story......"
"Who is Liu Ziji? Who is the peach blossom source of whom? My mind repeatedly haunts Jiang Binliu's words, have you thought about me all these years? How sad and lonely should this be?" Many wonderful book reviews have emerged in the comment area, praising this drama and spreading the fame of this drama rapidly. In Yanjing, in the next half month, "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" was performed seven times, and the venue was full! Some people even went to Yanjing to watch the performance! So, in mid-May, "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" kicked off the prelude to the national tour. Ye Zheng also received three million aid funds from his sister. Ye Zheng was still a little surprised by the success of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", he thought that this drama would be successful, but he didn't expect it to become popular all over the country in such a short period of time. It seems that the entertainment atmosphere and cultural atmosphere in this world are really good, and drama, which was originally a niche thing, has such a big market here. At the beginning of May, when "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" was in full swing, Ye Zheng came to Yanjing with Zhou Ke, uncle Sun Zhaofu and others.
What they have to do is to choose a location for the music company and make final preparations. The company is located in Yanjing rather than Hengyang, because Yanjing is the capital of China and one of the centers of China's entertainment industry. Another reason is that Ye Zheng wants to go to college here, and it is more convenient to deal with things. Hearing the news, Zhang Deqiang breathed a sigh of relief. Somehow, although many peers are not optimistic about Ye Zheng and Zhou Ke, he always has a feeling of great pressure.
After a month of intense work, the music company's application has been submitted and approved, and Zhou Ke has also established a small but well-organized creative and production team through his efforts, and as for publicity and logistics, Sun Zhaofu is in charge. At the end of May, a statement jointly issued by Ye Zheng and Zhou Ke was broadcast on several major media, officially announcing the establishment of Time and Space Music Company! Time and Space Music Company, this is the name Ye Zheng took, to commemorate that he is a person who has traveled through time and space to come here. Time and Space Music Company was founded by Ye Zheng with an investment of 20 million and Zhou Ke with an investment of 5 million, with a total registered capital of 25 million. It has a third-party controlling shareholder. Among them, Ye Zheng 70%, Zhou Ke 20%, Sun Zhaofu 10%.
Originally, Ye Zheng wanted to give Sun Zhaofu 20% of the shares, but Sun Zhaofu resolutely refused to ask for shares, but at Ye Zheng's insistence, Sun Zhaofu compromised and accepted 10% of the shares. In this way, Ye Zheng has an absolute controlling stake in Time and Space Music Company with 70% of the shares, and becomes the chairman of Time and Space Film and Television, and he is also the chief creator of Time and Space Music, while Zhou Ke is the chief producer. Sun Zhaofu is the general manager. Today's time and space music, there are more than 30 members of the creation and production team, and there are only more than 100 people in total. Therefore, at the press conference announcing the establishment of Time and Space Music, Ye Zheng and Zhou Ke also extended a sincere invitation to their peers in the music industry again.
In addition, Ye Zheng also announced that the first album after the establishment of Time and Space Music will be released and sold in mid-June. The publicity work was launched on the day of the press conference. "As for the specific situation of the new album that some media friends are concerned about, I can briefly explain it to you here. ”
Zhou Ke's words once again surprised the reporters in the audience, although everyone knew that Ye Zheng was a young creative genius, they didn't expect him to be bold enough to make rock albums in person, and to use rock to open up the market of time and space music companies. "May I ask what you mean by this, is this entire album created by Mr. Ye Zheng?" a reporter asked.
Zhou Ke smiled: "Yes, it was completely created by Mr. Ye Zheng." In other words, not only is it as simple as writing lyrics and music, but also the arrangement is completely in charge of him, and he will participate in the production. Speaking of this, Zhou Ke's expression became serious and serious: "Our time and space music should not only let everyone see a genius music creator and producer, but more importantly, let everyone see our ability and strength to create new talents! We will release three rock albums successively, and we will launch new rock albums in the future." Our time and space music will carry the banner of rock and roll and revitalize the rock music of China! "Carry the banner of rock music! This is the propaganda slogan of time and space music!
On this point, the media interviewed some musicians and critics, and although these people spoke very tactfully, they still did not show much favor. At most, they think they can probably make some rock music, but it's hard to make high-quality rock music. Everyone knows that since the eighties and nineties, rock 'n' roll has declined. There have also been many rock 'n' roll people who have tried, but none of them have brought rock 'n' roll back to life. Even if Ye Zheng has a certain creative talent, how many excellent rock music can he make? "Raise the banner of rock music?" ”
In the face of the interview, Qiu Feng said: "A few days ago, I felt that what I had said was quite inappropriate, and I felt a little sorry. Later, I also saw the songs he wrote for Peacock Music and Wheat Field Music, and I felt that this was a very talented teenager. But I still have to say that the banner of rock 'n' roll is not so easy to resist. If he feels disheartened one day, I still welcome him to my studio!" Qiu Feng's words were much more polite, and he also affirmed Ye Zheng's creative talent, but he was still not optimistic about Ye Zheng. And the meaning of the words is that Ye Zheng is destined to fail. Ye Zheng didn't have time to pay attention to these remarks. Starting from the end of May, Time and Space Music will do a full range of professional publicity for the two albums "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" and "Choose to Be Strong", which will be done by Zhou Ke and Sun Zhaofu.
And Ye Zheng has more important things to do, because the number of rock albums mentioned by Zhou Ke earlier is three! Three! One is "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty", one is "Choose to Be Strong", and what is the other one? "Rock on the Road of the New Long March"! A few days ago, when Zhou Ke invited his friends, he contacted a rock singer many years ago, Li Jian. Because time and space music wants to promote rock music first, Zhou Ke inevitably talked a few more words with Li Jian, and wanted to invite Li Jian to help with the production of the album. After listening to the sample of the album, Li Jian agreed without saying a word. But he was a little apprehensive about another thing. He wanted to ask if Ye Zheng could still create a rock suitable for him to sing.
Many years ago, when Li Jian debuted, it was the sunset of Chinese rock music, although the market was okay, but it was downhill. And after Li Jian released two albums, Huaxia's rock music completely declined.
