Chapter 236: Music Classroom
Zhao Zhenghao's first investment of 50 million yuan is 30% of the first income of his first solo album Since then, Zhao Zhenghao has continued to invest money in the "Music Teaching Program" with this proportion, and the total investment so far has exceeded 2 billion dragon dollars!
At present, Zhao Zhenghao's "Music Teaching Program" has benefited more than 2,000 rural primary and secondary schools, and this number is still steadily increasing.
Zhao Zhenghao has not set an upper limit on the final scale of the "Music Teaching Program", as long as there are schools willing to join the program, Zhao Zhenghao will continue to expand the scale of the program!
In order to test the results of the program, a large-scale music performance will be held in both winter and summer schools every year, on the one hand, to test the implementation effect of the program, and on the other hand, to select some talented children from the children who receive the program's assistance for higher-level training.
However, the plan is completely voluntary for the children to participate in the show, and Zhao Zhenghao carried out this plan to enrich the childhood life of rural children, increase their joy in life, and provide them with another possibility for their future, but he did not want to increase the burden on those children and make the plan an accomplice in compressing their childhood good times.
For this reason, Zhao Zhenghao has repeatedly stressed to the volunteers who participated in the program and acted as the children's enlightenment teachers that they must not be evaluated based on the results of the performance because the plan is made into a so-called formalism.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, involving hundreds of millions of dollars a year, or even billions of huge plans, naturally need a good supervision mechanism to avoid the occurrence of the situation of filling private pockets, for which Zhao Zhenghao specially approved a part of the funds, outside the plan, the establishment of an independent supervision agency, to supervise the implementation of the plan.
In the current era of self-media, everyone has the possibility of becoming a supervisor, so that the implementation of the "Music Teaching Program" initiated by Zhao Zhenghao has been carried out relatively smoothly.
So far, more than 100,000 of the more than 2,000 primary and secondary schools involved in the program have enjoyed this treatment in advance and gained a lot of joy from music.
Although the plan has only been implemented for less than four years, and no talented talented teenagers have been excavated and cultivated, most of the children who have only been in contact with music for a year and a half have only used the word "cute" to describe the music performances in the cold and summer months, without much professionalism, but seeing the sincere smiles on the children's faces, Zhao Zhenghao feels that the money has not been spent in vain!
This money should not belong to Zhao Zhenghao alone, he has achieved today's achievements with the help of the accumulation of countless musicians in his previous life for many years, he has taken advantage of the honor, and the benefits are exclusive, although in this world, no one will say anything, but Zhao Zhenghao can't pass the level in his heart.
Now, if he invests this part of the money in the "Music Teaching Program", presumably even if he "plagiarized" the results of his predecessors in his previous life, he will not be too harsh on him.
Moreover, to be honest, Zhao Zhenghao's predecessor in his previous life did not have much money and wealth, and the concept of money has always been "enough", and there is not much ** in terms of luxury enjoyment, so now the annual income of billions and billions of dollars has created a sense of accomplishment for Zhao Zhenghao.
Zhao Zhenghao also has no intention of making "Zhenghao Studio" bigger and stronger and building it into a giant enterprise in the international entertainment industry, so in the past two years, he has gradually increased the proportion of income invested in the "Music Teaching Program" from 30% at the beginning to 50% now, and it may be further increased in the future.
Providing more financial support for the expansion of the plan is also one of the driving forces for Zhao Zhenghao to maintain a strong "creation"** and continue to move forward bravely in the entertainment industry even though he has made a series of proud achievements and basically completed his dreams in his previous life!
In late April, the breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger in the vast land of Longguo, the south is already full of flowers, and the north is gradually getting rid of the shackles of winter and rejuvenating itself.
Driving all the way west from Beijing, Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin's first destination was a primary school in the mountainous area of western Jin Province, which was a member of the first batch of assistance lists of the "Music Teaching Program".
The music teaching classes of the "Music Teaching Program" are independent of the teaching plan of the aided schools, and all the expenses incurred are provided by the plan, and the aided schools only need to provide the necessary teaching venues.
In order to attract professional music talents to participate in the "Music Teaching Program", Zhao Zhenghao provided each volunteer with a generous remuneration that is not inferior to the average salary of white-collar workers in big cities, and promised that after they have volunteered for a certain number of years, they will also provide an additional start-up fund to help them achieve their music dreams.
The entertainment market in Dragon Country has reached a relatively developed stage, and now in some second- and third-tier cities, small orchestras have appeared that can operate normally, including Western musical instruments and ethnic musical instruments, so that students who learn musical instruments have much more employment prospects than Zhao Zhenghao in his previous life.
However, in the case of the increasing popularity of middle and high school education, there are still many people who have studied in music for more than ten years and have a certain degree of professional music literacy, but they cannot find suitable jobs, so that their years of hard work can not be rewarded.
The proposal of Zhao Zhenghao's "Music Teaching Program" provides another possibility for solving the employment problem of this part of the music talents.
Although the working and living environment will be difficult during the volunteer period of the "Music Teaching Program", the working and living environment will be difficult, but in terms of treatment, the salary standard provided by the program is even higher than that of those who find a job in a big city.
In addition, volunteering as a volunteer for the "Music Teaching Program" can also provide an opportunity to consolidate and improve one's imperfect musical literacy, and can meet a large number of like-minded friends, providing a variety of possibilities for one's future.
Therefore, the enthusiasm of those potential volunteer groups, which are mainly major professional music theaters and music graduates, is still very high to participate in the "Music Teaching Program", so that the program has not been worried about volunteers since the beginning of its implementation.
Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin first came to the school, located deep in the mountains, called Yangjiagou Primary School, now has three volunteers of the "Music Teaching Program", one of whom is the first batch of volunteers to be hired, has been serving here for nearly four years, and with her subjective will, she hopes to continue to serve here.
In the process of participating in the program, the volunteer who found the real foothold of her life value, named Wang Ruixue, before joining the "Music Teaching Program", she was a top student who graduated from the National Music School, and the main direction was Guzheng, although the employment prospects of this major were not as good as those popular piano and violin, but she relied on her good music literacy, and during her studies, she achieved good results in major competitions at home and abroad, and signed a salary ratio early. The "Music Teaching Program" is much higher for the contract.
However, after actually participating in the work, Wang Ruixue found that that kind of life was not what she wanted, so after learning about the "Music Teaching Program", she quit her original job and joined in without too much hesitation.
When she first joined, Wang Ruixue had no plans to serve the plan for a long time, but just wanted to adjust her state and plan her future well.
However, when she came to Yangshugou Primary School single-handedly, she established the music teaching classroom here from scratch, and helped the children who could only run around the mountains and fields in their spare time, and who had never been in contact with professional music education, realized the charm of music, the beauty of life, and saw the most innocent smile from their faces, Wang Ruixue found the true realization of the value of her life.
Her future does not belong to the rehearsal room and recital hall day after day, but to this group of children who have the most innocent dreams of music!
Thanks to her efforts, more than 100 students of all ages in Yangshugou Primary School have been exposed to at least one musical instrument, from the guzheng, erhu and transverse flute of national instruments to the violin, saxophone and clarinet of Western instruments.
Although Wang Ruixue's professional direction is guzheng, he also has an understanding of other musical instruments, although the level of performance is not high, but he has professional musical literacy, which is enough to act as an enlightener for children who have just come into contact with these musical instruments.
Of course, not every child is interested in music and musical instrument performance, and the vast majority of children only regard this as a game to enrich the color of life, but there are indeed some children who, after being enlightened, have a strong interest in music and musical instrument performance, and are vigorous in learning.
With the efforts of Wang Ruixue, the "Music Teaching Program" then sent two more volunteers to Yangshugou Primary School, although most of the later volunteers did not want Wang Ruixue to be like this, and found the place to realize the value of life here, but only stayed here for a short time, most of them left after serving for half a year or a year, but with their help, Wang Ruixue still established a small orchestra in Yangshugou Primary School, which is located deep in the mountains.
The members of the orchestra are all students of Poplar Valley Elementary School, with a small number of only seven people, and the instruments they learn are also diverse, spanning east and west.
Since its establishment, the Yangshugou Primary School Orchestra has participated in four performances organized by the "Music Teaching Program".
Zhao Zhenghao asked the volunteer teachers who plan to hold regular performances, the biggest purpose is not to test the effect of the aid, but to give those who have received assistance, and find real fun from it, hoping to go further in music, get more children, and improve an opportunity to come out and broaden their horizons.
Most of the performances are held in big cities, and the children who have participated in the show will be organized to visit the city, which may be the first time they have left their hometowns and come to the big cities to witness a completely different place from their living environment.
During that period, children may taste "Kaifeng cuisine" for the first time, enter the amusement park for the first time, enter the cinema for the first time, and many of the first in their lives will be completed with the help of Zhao Zhenghao.
Although at present, with the advent and development of the information age, the gap between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing, and many services that were originally exclusive to the city can now be enjoyed well in rural areas, but for these children, Zhao Zhenghao's help is still very important.
It may affect a child's life!
A child who is very likely to become a "migrant worker" according to the original life trajectory, with the help of Zhao Zhenghao, may be a world-renowned musician in the future!
Although such an example will not be very high, as long as there is one, it can bring Zhao Zhenghao a great sense of accomplishment and prove the success of the "Music Teaching Program"!
However, this is not the time to think about it, the "Music Teaching Program" is a long-term plan, and if you want to see the kind of results that can be set as a benchmark, you will have to wait at least ten years, or even longer.
Moreover, that is not the biggest goal of Zhao Zhenghao's project, rather than cultivating world-renowned musicians, Zhao Zhenghao is more interested in the childhood joy that the program can bring to more children.
The biggest purpose of this time he came to Yangshugou Primary School with Yu Yabin, as well as the other two schools that will receive assistance from the plan, is to integrate with Yu Yabin into the children who are enjoying the happiness brought by music with his help, and experience the purest joy in the world.
Before and after Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin arrived at Yangshugou Primary School, the local weather was very good, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the state-funded highway extended to the depths of the mountains, although it was a little winding, but for the knight XV under his seat, these were not a problem at all.
The time when Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin arrived was around four o'clock in the afternoon, which was the best time of the day for Yangshugou Primary School, a mountain village primary school built on the mountainside, the warm sunlight sprinkled throughout the school, and the classroom was drilled through the window.
