"Lei Xin's introduction just now, I have to correct it, I am still studying for a doctorate in psychology, I don't know the graduation period, it is estimated that I can graduate in about one or two years, musicology in my double major is musicology (musicology) and Musicperformance (music performance), the major is flute, graduate school is in Eastman School of Music (Eastman School of Music) in the United States, my tutor is Yiannis Hrysomallis (YanniKrisomalis). Let me introduce myself briefly, because I see a lot of new friends here. While speaking, Lin Xi pressed the remote control button to put down the projection screen, a high-heeled black silk suit, no matter how you look at it, it is easy to make people want to be crooked, but Lin Xi is the kind of woman who has a serious appearance and is sultry in her bones.

Putting down the curtain, Lin Xi turned around and took the microphone and said, "The reason why there is this salon is because in the GG music group, many people like us who study classical music or love classical music will discuss, why modern music is so ugly, we still have to listen to modern music, the theme of this salon is because we have such a discussion from the beginning!" And then it's very interesting that when I was a graduate student at Eastman School of Music in the United States, it just so happened that our school was very closely related to experimentalism, which can be said to be one of the origins of American realism. Buck Jones (a realist avant-garde musician) was also a visiting professor at our school for many years. So I'm very, very emotional about modern music. And the twentieth century can be said to be a very interesting period in the history of music. It can be said that it is the best of times, and it can also be said that the worst of times. Why do you say that, then we'll start talking about it later. OUR TOPIC TODAY IS 'THE REST IS NOISE,' A QUOTE FROM THE NEW YORK MUSIC CRITIC ALEXROSE, AND IT'S AN INTERESTING METAPHOR TO DESCRIBE TWENTIETH-CENTURY MUSIC, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS ONES BECAUSE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, THE CONCEPT OF 'MUSIC' HAS A NEW DEFINITION AND A NEW PERSPECTIVE. ”

"Before I talk about the official content, I want to tell you about a very, very famous event in the history of music, if you walk out of this door today and don't remember anything, then you must also remember this event, you can also use this to fool others, pretend to be a big deal. After saying this, Lin Xi manipulated the notebook on the low table a few times, called up a picture of the theater marked in French, glanced at the picture on the projection screen, and then said, "This is a riot about the premiere. First of all, this point in time is May 29, 1903, more than 100 years ago, the venue is in Paris, sorry, the name of the theater is not pronounced, because it is French. Here Lin Xi showed a sweet smile, so that the audience couldn't help laughing, laughed Lin Xi stroked the hair on his ear, and said, "The protagonist is Igor Fidrovich Stravinsky, he wrote two poems at that time"

Cheng Xiaoyu's "Musicology" in the class has not yet started, so I don't know Lin Xi very well, but watching her talk about "Western Music History" today is particularly vivid and interesting, especially when the narrator is still a very eye-catching woman, Wu Fan obviously loves the royal sister, Lin Xi, who is hot with big waves, exudes a mature and seductive charm all over his body, and his gestures are full of feminine charm from the inside out, and the delicate body line and breathtaking face are simply the heroines tailored for various taboo films.

The explanation of almost an hour can be described as a high-energy process for all those who understand classical music here, and Cheng Xiaoyu listens to it with relish in addition to some well-known contemporary musicians who do not know much about it.

"Finally, we must mention the American composer JOHNCAGE, whose musical philosophy is 'everything.we.do.is.music.'" He likes to use silence very much, and was the first to give up form and structure, keen to create 'random music', love electronic sound and visual arts, and also created zào extension techniques, what is extension techniques, for example, when we play the piano, we can only play the keys, and the extension technique is to open the lid, wipe the strings with different cotton cloths to make different sounds, or table tennis balls to strike the stringsWe also have an avant-garde future musician here, Cheng Xiaoyu, he wrote "The Light of Music" at the welcome party It can be said to be a typical symphonic work of the new school, and it is a reference to jazz drums and wrote a chapter of jazz drum concerto, which is very remarkable. As for the recently written "Liang Zhu", it is even more amazing, a symphonic poem that is completely integrated into the characteristics of Chinese music, although there are congenital deficiencies, but to be honest, for such a pioneering Chinese symphony and is still a freshman student's work, we really can't ask for more, I hope everyone will give him some applause. Suddenly, the small living room burst into warm applause.

Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to stand up and bow in thanks.

After the applause stopped, Lin Xi continued, "The history of Western music that I am lecturing on has come to an end, I'm sorry, I really didn't force Cheng Xiaoyu to advertise him because I was my student, I hope everyone has the opportunity to listen to "Liang Zhu". Thank you. Next, let's ask Leng Jun to talk about "The Humanistic Atmosphere of Music Tapes". ”

Leng Jun, who was wearing a light-colored casual jacket and a turtleneck sweater, got up from the sofa, smiled at Lin Xi, stepped forward and picked up the microphone and said, "The interesting "History of Western Music" by Lin Xi next to Lin Xi let us have a general understanding of the origin of modern music, and my topic today is not so high-end and compelling, the reason is a MV that has been very popular recently, called "Because I Like It". I don't know if you've seen it?"

Everyone responded that they had already seen it, and some men smiled and said, "I was forced to watch it by my girlfriend, and I was asked whether to donate or not." There was another burst of laughter.

Leng Jun also smiled and said, "Let's put down this MV for the time being, because this MV is just an introduction to the topic I am talking about, and what I actually want to talk about is modern pop music." Before last year, that is, in '09, I always felt that Chinese pop music was a stagnant state, and all the songs that dominated the list were sad songs, and the Chinese pop sad songs at that time were quite lacking and boring in musical form, probably because 'sadness is the cheapest expression'. Alan Copeland divides music appreciation into three levels: sensory level, expression level, and musical level. Most of the young listeners in my dynasty are actually wandering around at the sensory level, and their main expression is that they can only listen to "good" music, and once they encounter less pleasant music, they will immediately be confused and scold it. Their famous quote is, 'Don't think that making a pair of things that others don't understand is called art.'" And they are very impatient, listening to a song, there must be a very incendiary refrain within two minutes, the melody must be the direction they are used to, they must hum involuntarily, and the timbre of the soundtrack must be greasy, those explicit timbres in the recording studio, all get it, they like the 'pharmacy smoke' in the south and north tones. Because of these, the ability of music to express itself was limited, but this is not the end, and they don't know where they heard one thing - music must have an "artistic conception" and a "love xù". ”

Leng Jun paused, paced a few steps and said with a smile: "This has actually reached the second level, that is, the level of expression, musicians use various combinations of musical language, it is possible to express very complex things, but what about it, the emotions of us listeners, are rough, and all kinds of emotions in the world, they love the cheapest sadness." Yes, sadness is very cheap, it is a vulgar thing with almost no curves and layers to speak of, or how can we 'say sorrow for the new word'? Joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, fear, and fright, is it not good to say something else? If it is not good, they will know that they are sorrowful. The cold speaking style is witty and humorous, and as for the laughter, even Cheng Xiaoyu has to follow his thinking.

After everyone finished laughing, he said coldly: "Huaxia sad music, this thing is basically based on 'I love you, you don't love me, I want to die, but I don't dare to die, I can't die, I feel uncomfortable, I still drink bars, I fall asleep when I'm drunk, but I still want to pull my hair twice before going to bed', just like 300 fast food, pile up, pay and leave...... There is no love at all!!

Nonsense, of course there is no love, how can these lovely little young people allow more love in music than in their hearts? Not only is true love a forbidden area, but even the real is also walled. Our listeners, like cultural censors, relentlessly reject every piece of music that reflects even the slightest bit of shame. Do you think they want to get some wisdom or care from the lyrics? Don't be stupid! They just fill the void with the sadness in them.

Do you want to write that the price of ribs in the vegetable market has risen so much that you eat your own arm?

Do you want to write that on a rainy night, the traffic police didn't wear pants, so the fine was only charged copper coins, because it could be strung on the **?

You want to write that you saw a beautiful girl on the train, but there were too many people to crowd in, and you watched a 2b talk to her about classics?

Stop!! what kind of nonsense do you think I'm talking about?

Why is it so earthy, so vulgar, so unsentimental? It's all ...... It's almost like real life!

Do you want to pull the heart that I'm watching float up 45 degrees into the SH night sky back to the bus stop where cigarette butts are everywhere in the countryside?

Do you have humanity?

Well, there is no love, there is no reality, and they don't accept the magnificent imagination, what should they do? It's easy! There is no love to pretend to be love, and there is no reality to fake reality. Yesterday your sadness could be deep into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, today you can be at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, yesterday your love can be sprayed to a distance of 30,000 feet, today it can be sprayed 60,000 light-years. The audience does not cooperate with others, this aspect can be entered into the play can be cooperated, you write casually, their hearts will follow you sleepy, tired, broken, wasted, one knife and two broken, two do not owe each other, three long and two short, the horse is difficult to chase, and the five horses are divided...... Anyway, as long as you want, you say that their hearts have been trampled like, and there are people who resonate.

That's the case anyway. Our songwriter has no discipline, and the ancients said that they were 'sad but not sad', which has long been forgotten by musicians. The year before last was the era of sad songs, and some teachers could say in Chinese pop music magazines, 'I think sadness is a very high level', and I don't know if he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. The cost of creating love songs is low, the requirements for the music table are low, and the requirements for the beautiful lyrics are also low, as long as the story is universal, you will feel "Alas, isn't this me" when you listen to it, its purpose has been achieved.

To put it bluntly, the focus of love songs is not on lyrics, composition and performers, but on the audience, as long as the listener is "injured" Cheng dù deep enough and the imagination is rich enough, love songs can become popular. Nowadays, the Chinese music scene is prevalent in fast-food management, for the purpose of profit, the pursuit of art is insufficient, and love songs are the best way to make money, so the number of sad songs is large and more popular.

But this year, no, it's last year, I was finally happy to find a change, there were two people in the pop music scene last year, I have to mention, I don't know if you know each other, one is the music producer of the 'Idol Project' who just won the award and got the softness, and it is also the director of the MV of "Because I Like It", this is an all-rounder, called Cheng Xiaoyu, and our Lin Xi beautiful student has the same name and surname, and it scared me just now, I think it's bad, and I'm going to comment on others today! The deities are here, and I was so scared that I took out my notebook and was ready to sign it, but when I saw how I could be so young, I now realized that it was not the same person, Cheng Xiaoyu's name is a cow! Pop music is a big deal, and classical music is also a big deal, I have to think about whether I have to change my name. After Leng Jun said this, the hall was also full of laughter.

Cheng Xiaoyu was so embarrassed that he sat between Wu Fan and Chang Yue, and began to regret that he had come to participate in this salon.

Leng Jun also smiled and continued, "Another one that has to be mentioned is that because he hasn't released an album yet, he can't get an award' for an 'Internet singer', no, it should be called 'Internet Celebrity' is correct, 'poison'." Cheng Xiaoyu and 'Poison' are the heavyweights I talked about in an important way. ”

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu was sitting under the stage, and he couldn't smile bitterly.
