Chapter 1302: News
Due to the particularity of the sport, figure skating is niche, but it has attracted the attention of Qin Fangge, a great musician, and they can also be promoted and marketed logically. Now the higher-level leaders also have relevant instructions to promote the rapid development of ice and snow sports, and many policies have been introduced for this purpose. But the most direct and effective way is to find a celebrity like Qin Fangge to stand on the platform.
Even the leaders know that Qin Fangge is not unrelated to figure skating, and his music is the link that connects him with figure skating. Now that he's in love with figure skating, it's even more of a surprise.
For this reason, after the press conference began, the relevant leaders were also rare, and they did not make so many official statements and say so many false and empty words, but they still looked forward to the bright future of ice and snow sports, and encouraged the athletes to work hard for the glory of the country. Today's theme is actually not this, but Qin Fangge licensed the music to the National Figure Skating Association, and his music can be used as the music for figure skating programs, but he also has requirements, and if there is an adaptation, it must be approved by him. In the case of commercial performances, he also has a share of the copyright fee, although it is not much, but it is also necessary to show respect for him as a composer and music copyright.
This is all negotiated in advance, and the money for the commercial performance is not from the figure skating association, but only a little bit is given to him, which is actually an international practice. In foreign countries, the protection of music copyright has been done even better, and if national team members want to use the music of foreign composers, they must first obtain authorization from the copyright owner. In the case of commercial performances, it is organized by the International Skating Union. Foreign figure skating commercial performances are relatively good, and famous athletes can also regain blood through commercial performances, you know, many foreign figure skaters are in debt to practice and compete. Chinese athletes will be a little happier, as long as they enter the national team, a large part of the cost will be borne by the state.
Even if a foreign country enters the national team, the related expenses are basically borne by the club and the individual themselves, and the interests of endorsements and commercial performances are also taken by the Skating Union.
In such a reality, even the relevant leaders know that unless Qin Fangge's brain is pumped, he will definitely not give up his current life, and those who are professionally engaged in figure skating across borders, no matter how high his talent is, can he have a higher musical talent?
In fact, the coaches below are more enthusiastic about this, and they feel that Qin Fangge's talent cannot be buried just like that. However, Qin Fangge is very narcissistic, and when he tells them, he just says that he likes it and doesn't need to compare with others, and then everyone will know that he is talented, and he can't be buried.
The coaches were speechless for a moment, a famous and talented person like him could be so willful!
At the press conference, head coach Dai Hongbo also said that he would choreograph the music of Qin Fangge during the offseason, and then train hard to bring it to the official arena next season. Now his music has already set the tone for the glory of the country, not only the media boasting, but also the recognition of the most senior leaders, and no one has braved the world's condemnation to sing the opposite tone on this point. Even if someone touches Qin and plays songs, most of them start from his personal style, and there is normal controversy in the music works, but it can't be too black, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the leader, proving that the leader's aesthetic and appreciation level is not good?
Among them, the most influential and well-known one is naturally the super tenor aria sung by Qin Fangge, and there are several classic soprano C's "Beautiful Scenery". Although this aria is not Qin Fangge's original work, but he has completely turned it into his own work through his own rearrangement and interpretation, and now people in the world mention this aria, the first thing that comes to mind is Qin Fangge, a singer who is known as the "world's first tenor", the previous Rossini Puccini and even the original author of the opera are not as impressive as the current Qin Fangge.
Dai Hongbo also said, "In the pairs skating, which is the strongest in our figure skating national team, the choice of an opera aria like "Beautiful Scenery" is also after our repeated consideration, and we invited the singer Qin Fangge to come over and help as the artistic director. As we all know, the artistic performance of our figure skating team has always been criticized, and we must not only formalize this reality, but also strive to do better and challenge for the world championship at all costs. If we do well, we are not afraid of being criticized, we must also believe in everyone's vision, and Qin Fangge has also proved to the world that we Chinese have a talent for engaging in art!"
The coaching staff praised Qin Fangge for a while, and when the reporters interviewed Qin Fangge, he also reciprocated, saying that the atmosphere of the figure skating team was very good, and there were many talents in it, and the equipment was very advanced, and he liked it very much. What the reporters really want to ask is, "We just watched you practice on the ice and you had a successful quadruple jump and a triple axel, do you have any plans to enter figure skating and become a professional figure skating athlete?"
Qin Fangge clarified for the first time, "This is really not, our national figure skating team is full of talents, and I practice figure skating and jumping simply because I like this sport, and it combines sports and music art perfectly." As we all know, my father was a sports student, my mother was a musician, and my body was a concentration of my parents' best genes. If I were 10 years younger, it would be possible to join the professional sport of figure skating, and at my age, the athletes would have achieved similar results! But I will always pay attention to figure skating, and I hope that more people will join in, even if it is only for physical fitness, it is excellent, and in my mind, this is also the most perfect combination of sports and art!"
"What do you have to say about your own quadruple jump?"
"Maybe it's like what the coach said, my physical fitness is better! Other words, I don't think about it that much, just enjoy the beauty of figure skating, and when I jump on the ice, I feel like flying, which is very enjoyable. Qin Fangge replied with a smile.
A reporter also asked him, "Do you write music specifically for figure skating?"
Qin Fangge replied, "If there is inspiration and opportunity, I can't rule out such a possibility, but that is also after I have a deeper understanding of figure skating." Now my own skills are still shallow, and everyone has seen the gliding posture. Here, I would also like to thank the two coaches, Wang Guangming and Luo Yu, for taking time out of their busy schedules to teach me, as well as Han Bingxue and Yao Bang, who personally demonstrated for me......"
Han Bingxue received Qin Fangge's thanks, and her little face suddenly turned red with joy, like a red apple, and when she was on the field, she was photographed by reporters. Although she is a newcomer to the national team to prepare for the youth competition next season, she has a strong sense of presence, and she has won the championship in various local national competitions before, and she is a veritable genius girl. Not to mention Yao Bang, a genius player in the men's singles, is also the most likely to hit the men's singles championship. Han Bingxue has to wait a little longer, even if she wins the World Youth Championships, she still has to wait for the winning group to reach the senior group, that is the real test of whether she is a real genius, and the final decision is the competition, the world does not know how many amazing and brilliant genius players have fallen on the development threshold from the youth group to the adult group. Especially the female players, the Russian geniuses Loli are really grabbing a handful.
In pairs skating, in addition to the technical requirements and artistic expression, the more important thing is the tacit cooperation between the two athletes. This is also the strongest in Chinese figure skating, and there are several groups of strength that can be ranked among the top few in the world.
In addition, there is the Ice Dance (Ice Dance), which is a performance of a couple of men and women performing some dance footwork and sliding on the ice to the rhythm of music. It originated in figure skating, and over the years it has evolved beyond the scope of figure skating, thus forming a separate sports of ice and snow. Ice dance is different from men's and women's double figure skating, it focuses on dance steps, and has strict restrictions on technical movements: typical pairs skating and single skating jumps and spins are not allowed, such as too much, too high or more than a week and a half of body lifting, too many and too long separation, two people jumping at the same time, and too many shapes, etc., and it is more taboo to pull each other with one hand and sitting, leaning and lying on the other in the skate. If the above movements occur in the ice dance competition, points will be deducted.
There are many deeper rules and differences, and most people only need to know that in the ice dance event, Chinese players have the least advantage. In addition to the athletes themselves, the lack of coaches, choreographers and other talents is an important factor restricting the progress of ice dance.
Journalists are not particularly interested in this, and viewers do not want to see these weak projects in China. Of course, the leaders and coaches still have to say that the ice dance focuses on dance steps and emphasizes the expression of music with movements, which is also closely related to Qin Fangge's identity as an artist and musician. The ice dance competition is held in the order of prescribed dance, choreography and free dance, with the first day of the prescribed dance, the second day of the choreographer, and the third day of free dance.
A prescribed dance is the completion of a movement based on a prescribed music, pattern, footwork, and repetitions. There are a total of 22 sets of dances, and the International Skating Union uses a lottery method to determine two sets of dances for the next year. The referee evaluates the technical score and performance score according to the quality of the athlete's completed movements and posture.
Choreographer, also known as stereotyped dance. Athletes choose their own music according to the prescribed rhythm and complete a set of self-choreographed dance steps and patterns within the specified time. The referee evaluates the choreography score and performance score according to the movements completed by the athletes.
Free dancers choose their own music and complete their own choreographed dance composed of various footwork, lifts, small jumps, postures, grips and other movements within the specified 4 minutes, and the referees will evaluate the technical and artistic impression scores according to the quality, style and innovation of the athletes' completed movements. Ice dancing is scored and ranked in the same way as in single skating.
The reporters also asked Qin Fangge what kind of dance he would dance. Qin Fangge replied that he used to practice waltzing more, and he also wrote some related waltzes. He definitely didn't learn ballet, but many figure skating players have gone to learn ballet, or simply conduct intensive training to enhance their artistic quality and atmosphere.
In the end, there was nothing too nutritious left in the interview, and that was the end of it.
It is also an indispensable activity for Qin Fangge to take a group photo with the leading coaching staff and athletes of the figure skating base, and everyone seems to attach great importance to this, and it is not an unacceptable thing for Qin Fangge.
Naturally, the reporters would not be left for dinner at the training base, and after the press conference was over, they dispersed. There is big news in hand, and reporters are racing against time, and some of them are fast, and they have already passed the review of the editor-in-chief and posted news on the Internet! Traditional media, such as newspapers and television stations, are not so time-sensitive, but they also publish relevant reports on their respective websites and microblogs.
Even if they know that the Winter Sports Management Center and the Figure Skating Association are taking advantage of the popularity of Qin Fangge's publicity, the media are particularly buying it, in addition to political tasks, they can really attract the attention of the audience, increase website traffic, newspaper sales, TV ratings and other indicators, which are all good things related to their vital interests. They can no longer care what others think or what the truth is, but they will never miss things that are related to their own interests.
Qin Fangge's own words, after the media reporters left, he was not in a hurry to leave, and it was time to eat. He was left by Han Bingxue and Wang Guangming to have dinner together, and laughed that as long as he didn't dislike the food in the base cafeteria, it would be fine.
Qin Fangge's criterion is that it is good to be full, not to mention that the food here is really good, and the dietary standards of the athletes are also very high. Although it is not said that it is a special supply, the strict standards of the inspection are almost the same, especially in many cases, athletes have to do physical examinations, and food problems are regarded as illegal drugs such as doping, which is really embarrassing.
Of course, keeping Qin Fangge down is not as simple as eating, nor is it to let Qin Fangge continue to practice, but to let him help the figure skating team and do something in earnest. When they were going to use Qin Fangge's music for choreography, they naturally wanted to consult him as a composer, and the best way was to give some suggestions from an artistic perspective by watching everyone's ice performances. In this regard, Qin Fangge still has the right to speak, at least, in music.
Jiang Na and the others naturally didn't plan to stay together, and so did Huang Jing and Chen Tianhong and Wang Zizi, after they skated on the ice for two hours, they called Jiang Na and them to communicate, and then converged and went back together, and tomorrow's content will be finalized after Qin Fangge returns.
