The national treasure musician that Chutian wants to visit is named Xia Shang, it is said that the upper two generations of Xia Shang are musicians, and the parents are three, and the names of their children of this generation are according to the ancient pentatonic scale. Later, there were six old and seven, which were named after ancient music such as "Shao" and "Wu". It's for the sake of beauty.

Xia Shang is a famous Chinese musician, graduated from Tsinghua University, the most famous university in China, in the 80s, and later went to study at Berklee College of Music in North America, with a double master's degree in composition and music education.

In the 90s, the songs of the Huaxia popular TV series were almost all covered by Xia Shang, either sung by him or written by him, and even contracted the songs of major events, which were extremely popular.

He joined the Chinese Musicians Association at the beginning of the millennium, and since 01, he has taught at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music and Tsinghua University, bringing out the first batch of graduate students and doctoral students of the Chinese Conservatory of Music.

Whether it is in music creation or music teaching, no one in the whole of China can be unmatched, and its status in the Chinese music scene is extremely high.

In 08, like the historical trajectory of the original world, China successfully hosted the Olympic Games.

Xia Shang was invited to sing the theme song of the Olympic Games!

From the two points of music professor and singing to the Olympics, Xia Shang is very similar to Liu Huan in the original world, and this is the most important reason why Chutian included Xia Shang in the mentor candidate for the first time.

Xia Shangji participated in variety shows, let alone talent shows, so it was even more difficult to invite him to participate in the show than it was to invite Liu Huan to participate in the voice in the original world.

This is also the reason why Mr. Zhang and others decided that it was 100% impossible as soon as they saw this name.

Whether it is fame or fortune, it is obviously difficult to impress Xia Shang.

Chu Tian's way of seeing Xia Shang was quite special, at the family banquet of Mr. Yu Shengliang. Xia Shang's wife, a Peking Opera performance artist, studied under Mr. Yu Shengliang, and studied with Mr. Yu Shengliang when she was a teenager, and has always been regarded by Mr. Yu Shengliang as her own. Mrs. Xia is busy, and she will take Xia Shang to Mr. Yu Shengliang's house for a meal every month.

At the family banquet, Chu Tian and Xia Shang accompanied Mr. Yu to talk about a lot of opera, especially in the combination of tradition and popularity, Xia Shang has also been trying in this regard, and Chu Tian has a common topic.

After the family banquet, they chatted for a while and drank tea, and seeing that Mr. Yu was tired, Chu Tian and Xia Shang took the opportunity to leave.

Also eating together was Mr. Yu's niece and granddaughter Yu Qi, that is, the Yu Qi who gave a song "Rap Face" to Chu Tian on "Good Show" before, after going out, Yu Qi saw that the two were chatting, so he pulled Mrs. Xia and said: "Aunt Lu, I see that Teacher Xia and Teacher Chu still have endless words, why don't we go shopping nearby first?"

"I'm thinking too!"

Mrs. Xia glanced at Xia Shang and smiled at Chu Tian: "Old Xia is usually a stuffy gourd, and when it comes to music, it will become a chatter." If you don't say this happily, you will definitely not be able to sleep when you go back. He used to talk about your talent in music, but now that I see you, I must have a lot to say. Lao Xia's studio is on the side, otherwise, you can talk to Lao Xia for five cents. ”

Hearing this, Chu Tian nodded and smiled: "I don't hide it from the two of you, I met Teacher Xia through Mr. Yu today, I came here to admire him, even if you don't say it, I have to find a place to talk to Teacher Xia again." ”

"Then let's go!"

Seeing this, Xia Shang laughed and put his arm around Chu Tian's shoulders and went downstairs.

So far, everything has gone even more smoothly than Chu Tian imagined.

Of course, the premise of all this is not only to know Mr. Yu and be appreciated by him, but also related to the fame and status of Chutian today.

In addition, Chu Tian's insight and conversation can indeed talk to Xia Shang fluently, and he can also poke Xia Shang's sore feet every time.

Chu Tian and Xia Shang talked all the way from Mr. Yu's house to Xia Shang's music studio, from traditional to classical to pop, from rock to folk to reggaeton, from musicians to music history, from the East to the West, from Europe and the United States to Japan and South Korea...... The scope of the chat is very wide, even if Chu Tian and the two lives are human beings and there are so many memories that are remembered and extra in their minds, they really can't catch them, so they have to throw out some music theories from the original world again and again to change the topic.

Of course, these music theories of the original world were naturally very attractive to Xia Shang.

After arriving at Xia Shang's studio, the two began to talk about musical instruments, chatting, playing musical instruments, and exchanging some wonderful uses and skills of specific musical instruments in the arrangement. Xia Shang was extremely surprised that Chu Tian had already been instrumental for a long time, especially the piano and string instruments, and it seemed that there was no Chu Tian who could not play strings.

Chu Tian also used a killer trick and used the guqin to play an ancient song that was not in this world or the original world, or it may have been lost.

And this chat, two hours passed in a hurry.

Chu Tian was really chatting, and he almost forgot the purpose of this time.

Subsequently, Chu Tian and Xia Shang talked about the current Chinese music market, and exchanged views on issues such as the music environment, music lack of confidence, and excessive force due to a large injection of capital.

Chatting and chatting, Xia Shang glanced at Chu Tian and asked with a smile: "Then, what does Boss Chu think of the current music variety shows, especially talent shows?"

When Chu Tian heard this, he laughed dryly and said, "It seems that Mr. Xia has already guessed the purpose of my special meeting with you through Mr. Yu this time. ”

Xia Shangdao: "Originally, I couldn't guess it, but from the chat just now, and I heard that Qiqi mentioned that you and Galaxy Productions are going to work together to create a talent show, I guessed it." ”

Chu Tian could hear that even if he met Xia Shang through Mr. Yu, if it wasn't for the chat just now that talked about Xia Shang's heart, he would never take the initiative to mention this matter, and he might not even have a chance to mention it.

Chu Tian saw Xia Shang looking at himself waiting for his opinion, thought about it, and said: "Let's go back to the premise of the topic just now, the Chinese music market and the cultural market are skyrocketing every year, which will inevitably attract capital to pursue profits, and there is one thing that is inevitable under the pursuit of profits by capital, that is, using too much force, and this is the easiest to deviate from the original intention." In the audition, most of the people selected deviated from the original intention of music. To put it bluntly, it's not about music that's more important, it's about looks, and even hype. If you really have to look back, in recent years, how many of the contestants who have been drafted have ended up making music seriously, which can be seen!"

When Xia Shang heard this, he only asked: "What about your talent show, and what guarantee will it not deviate from the original intention of music?"

Chu Tian replied seriously: "The talent show I am planning now is a new draft mode, only listen to the voice and don't look at the people!"

"Listen to the sound and don't look at the people?"

Xia Shang's eyes lit up, and he became interested.

Chu Tian took out a document bag from his bag, chatted with Xia Shang about the original intention, characteristics, methods and planning of this show, and singled out a few points that were attractive to Xia Shang to focus on, such as the group assessment after the "blind audition" stage, not only to assess the singing skills of the contestants, but also to assess the mentor's ability to tailor songs and arrangements for the contestants, so as to make music more possible to the greatest extent, as well as to prosper and enrich the entire Chinese music scene.

There is no doubt that the setting of Chutian's entire plan is one after another, which is novel and rigorous, which makes Xia Shang extremely interested. One of the most attractive points of Xia Shang is undoubtedly that he leads the contestants to compete with other mentors and contestants in music as a mentor.

Of course, turning his head, what attracted Xia Shang the most was Chu Tian's sentence, only listening to the voice and not looking at people, which was a manifestation of respecting the essence of music for Xia Shang.

"Boss Chu. ”

Xia Shang didn't wait for Chu Tian to speak, and said, "I'll think about it." ”
