Li Jianguo looked at his son: "By the way...... Are these people awesome?"

"Not bad. Li Yiming nodded and thought for a while, "It's all mentioned in this book,...... Uh-huh, uh-huh......"

There are fifty-two songs of the week in his head, and one of them is also called "The Sea and the Sky".

Are these two songs the same?

No.

The song "Sea and Sky" by the Beyond band upstairs is in Cantonese, and the first six sentences are:

Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, drifting away with a cooled heart, chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish the shadow in the fog, the sky is wide and you and I will change......

The letter orchestra is in Chinese, the first six sentences:

I had doubted that I walked in the desert and never bore fruit no matter what kind of dreams I planted. just spread his wings, but the wind became silent, can you get used to the pain, can it be considered a harvest......

Well, in fact, I can barely change the lyrics and sing.

Li Yiming once thought that the song was the perfect match between the song and the lyrics, and if it was mixed up, the ears of the people who had to listen to it would have the same tolerance as stones!

But now he finds that it can really be messed up, as long as the melody is there, as long as you can slurred words, everything is music, well, this feeling is because he has several songs by Jay Chou in his song library.

Li Jianguo didn't know what his son was thinking about now, since his son said that it was in the book, it must be more powerful, and he should take it immediately, just like seeing someone on the road carrying a burden to sell vegetables, he had to go up and ask.

"It's pathetic. ”

"Huh?"

"They just took out a loan to hold a concert in July, and now they are worried about how to repay the money!" Li Yiming heard Huang Jiaju say that he was going to work another job.

"Can you take out a loan to hold a concert?" Li Jianguo was a little surprised.

"Well, I took out a loan of 16,000 yuan, and I paid it off in three months, but I lost 6,000, and I have to repay the money next week, and now I am still 1,800 yuan, and I am making up the money!" Li Yiming couldn't help laughing.

"Singing badly?"

"It shouldn't be hard to hear, but it's probably not time to embrace this style yet. They are a rock band. ”

What is rock 'n' roll? Li Jianguo didn't ask, but looked at his son.

"Rock is a way of singing, singing more intensely, and the voice and movements are more intense, which can be regarded as a rebel in the music world...... It's an angry youth. ”

As soon as Li Jianguo heard the word rebel, he immediately frowned, and his impression was not good, as for what the angry young man was, he had no time to think about it, probably an angry young man, and he was not a likable species.

"Europeans and Americans like it more, and now it is considered mainstream music, and this genre has produced many stars. ”

Europeans and Americans prefer that it can earn foreign exchange, Li Jianguo understood it at once, and quickly asked: "Is there a market for this music?"

"Very much, but now Xiangjiang is singing pop songs, and the record company doesn't like this style, they prefer to cover the song, that is, take the song over there and refill the lyrics and then find a singer to sing.

Basically, Xiangjiang singers are all popular with covers, and the cost of star-making like this is very low, and the income is very high. In fact, the real difficulty is not singing, but creating, although it is not that difficult,......

I plan to set up a joint music base in Shencheng and Xiangjiang, and then I can make stars on the assembly line. I saw a record factory in East Asia, and it was very convenient to have this tape, 30 to 50 yuan for a cassette tape, and the cost was less than 5 yuan, and the profit was very high!

And celebrities can also hold concerts, and if they are well packaged, they can also tour the world, and they can sell anything. ”

Li Yiming spoke endlessly.

Li Jianguo remembered that before at the Peace Hotel, his son said about the fan economy: "If you want to make a star, it's best to pick it from the mainland." ”

Li Yiming nodded: "Well, I think so too, I have to join the party first." ”

"I don't think you're going to have to help them, though. Li Jianguo looked back, "If they really write the lyrics, I think the thinking is still quite progressive,......"

Ideological progress, that is, one can develop into an active member of the party, and at the worst, one can do some non-party work that is beneficial to the country and the nation......

"Makes sense!" Li Yiming took out a red envelope from his bag, "Two thousand yuan here." ”

Li Jianguo looked at his son, 2,000 Hong Kong dollars was about to catch up with Li Jianguo's salary for one year, and he looked distressed: "Isn't it only 1,000 and 8 owed? ”

"I didn't eat! I gave two hundred more for food. ”

"Shall I take it?" asked Li Jianguo.

"No, I'll go downstairs and throw it up. Li Yiming took out a pen and wrote Huang Jiaju's name on the red envelope, as well as a phone number, the phone number of the East Asia Overseas Investment Department.

"What should you do if you are so lost and picked up!" Li Jianguo watched his son finish writing, and reached out to take it, "I'll come." ”

Walking to the front of the tea restaurant and stopping, Li Jianguo walked in to the counter, and faced the fat man next to the cash register: "Boss?"

"yes, what do you want?"

Li Jianguo looked back at his son: "How many people are there?"

Li Yiming: "Five." ”

Li Jianguo ordered 200 yuan to eat, took out a red envelope that was not written, and wrote a string of phone numbers and names on it: "Send it to the piano shop above to my friend together." ”

The owner of the tea restaurant looked at the red envelope handed over inexplicably, with his name written on it: he looked up at the child in front of him: "Who pays for this thing?"

Li Jianguo clicked on the red envelope: "Send it to him and ask him for money." ”

"What if he doesn't pay?" The fat boss opened the seal of the red envelope, and there were two yellow banknotes inside, and nodded, "Okay!"

…...

Outside the door, father and son glanced at each other and spoke at the same time:

Li Yiming teased with his eyebrows: "Dad, you are very good at giving gifts!"

Li Jianguo hid a little smugness between his eyebrows: "Do you know what is important here?"

"Well, giving two thousand is a gift, and now it's two, and you also ordered the amount of five people, which is equivalent to asking him to pay those four people to eat. ”

"Your father is also very powerful, right?" Li Jian Chinese was very proud, "If you let me go up, I might be able to make them ...... right away."

"Join the party?" Li Yiming looked at his father and said.

"Well,......" Li Jianguo was taken aback by his son's words, but fortunately, the people on the side couldn't understand Shen County's dialect, and occasionally one or two syllables couldn't guess too much of the meaning.

This is also the main reason why the two of them dare to be so unscrupulous, and they chatted all the way to the road.

Li Jianguo glared at his son: "I mean let them unite immediately." By the way, you give them the lyrics, let them compose and sing, and we give them a record to earn foreign exchange. Peasant, the Great Wall, you can sing well and go to the Spring Festival Gala, right?"

"Dad, I didn't tell you, they all sing Cantonese songs. ”

"Cantonese... What's wrong? Don't you say that too?"

Li Yiming looked at his father and sighed softly, his father is like the protagonist of many rebirth stories, the songs he listened to before his rebirth are moved out, and he wants to put them in the basket when he sees a celebrity.

"This is a dialect, and the people of the whole country must learn it, if you go to the Spring Festival Gala. It's not good for the promotion of Mandarin!"

Li Jianguo thought about it and thought it was true: "That's right." ”

Don't consider this impact, the influence of culture is far beyond people's imagination, not to mention that the current Spring Festival Gala has the ability to create stars like a nuclear explosion.

After singing today, tomorrow all the people in the north and south of the motherland will have to learn to sing this Cantonese song, and now the whole country is promoting Mandarin, what does it mean to add a Cantonese?

"They don't speak Mandarin?" asked Li Jianguo, who thought his son had everything in his profile.

Li Yiming shook his head: "I don't know if I will say it, anyway, I didn't say a word on it just now." ”

"You can learn it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Yiming actually doesn't really want local musicians in Xiangjiang, because of this language problem, there is now a singer named Tan Yonglin, who is very famous in Xiangjiang, but this person is said to have never spoken Mandarin or written simplified Chinese.

Many people in Hong Kong are the same, they can speak English, they can't speak Mandarin, and they can't even speak Hong Kong, and that's 20 years after the handover!

While making money from the mainland, he is culturally incompatible, what is the use of such a person?

It's not that there are no art troupes in China.

There are enough dialects in China, and although the Cantonese dialect has a very long history, it is not to the point where it needs to be salvaged as a cultural heritage.

For Li Yiming, dialects can enrich the taste of cultural works and charge a few more money, but they still have to be a means of promoting Mandarin and simplified Chinese characters.

The language used by the people here in Xiangjiang is very complex, it can be said that there are local dialects, in the early twenty years, the Chinese language was still regarded as Mandarin here, and now, there are more people who open their mouths and close their mouths to speak Cantonese, in fact, there is a Hong Kong British government in the Ming place to promote, Cantonese and English are the official languages.

He just saw a "Cantonese Dictionary" with a lot of strange words in the bookstore.

What should a dialect do with words?

Language is an important component of culture, it is not the whole of culture, but now if we add various cultural works with this language as the carrier, then this culture will become very strong, and individualistic localism may eventually transition to separatism.

"It's not that difficult, you look at Charlie Chen, it turned out that he couldn't say a word, but now, at least he can speak everyday language!" Li Jianguo said with a smile, "It's useful to unite a little." ”

Li Yiming nodded slightly: "Those who learn music are very sensitive to music, and learning language is actually very fast." ”

Li Jianguo looked at his son and thought to himself: "You just let them write the lyrics, you can review the manuscript, just let them learn Mandarin too, the main thing is that you don't do everything yourself...... Do you want to report on the music base?"

Seeing his son nodding, Li Jianguo hummed and said: "With some trade union chairmen to care about their lives, with a secretary to pay attention to their thoughts, what is there to worry about, they are all young people, and it is easy to reform...... You see that they can write about the peasants and the Great Wall, then they can write about the workers and the Yangtze River!"

Li Yiming glanced at his father: Why? Why is Comrade Jianguo's thinking so active?
