Chapter Fifty-Three: The Master of "Leaving the Journey" Illuminates the Eighties
The scene was silent, and everyone was watching Shen Lin at the press conference. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Either out of politeness, or really listened.
When Shen Lin was talking about these things, his voice was very soft, and he didn't have the means of deliberately adjusting the atmosphere like ordinary talk show actors, just like ordinary chatting, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
"I still remember that my dad told me that he had saved up for several months in order to buy a copy of Tan Yonglin's "Love at the Root". ”
"In fact, in the eighties, the whole world was thawing, we had just reformed and opened up, opened our eyes to understand the world, and almost every day there were Western things imported into the country!"
"By the way, I almost forgot, there were also a group of writers in the eighties, Wang Shuo, Su Tong, Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Lu Shao, Jia Pingao and so on!"
"And, of course, Michael Jackson, who came out of nowhere in the '80s, including Madonna, U2, Guns and Roses, and a host of American music greats!"
"One thing worth mentioning is that in 1985, the world's unprecedented large-scale music performance, LiveAid, was to help the African famine, in 1982-1984, there was a great famine in Africa for three consecutive years, when a British band lead singer initiated, the lead singer was called Bob Geldof, aiming to raise funds for the famine in Africa, which was an unprecedented star-studded event in history. ”
"As you know, European and American musicians are not the same as our country, they generally don't participate in that kind of platter singing, for that concert, more than 100 famous singers from all over the world participated in this benefit performance, including Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Elton John, Queen, U2, Madonna Sciccone... In fact, at that time, our country also wanted to perform, but it was not approved, it was Lao Cui and their application, of course, we also got a concert of 100 singers 'Let the World Be Full of Love'!
At that time, the global communications satellite network broadcast live to more than 140 countries, attracting a total of nearly 1.5 billion television viewers. At the same time, $80 million was raised!"
"Music changes the world!"
"As one scholar put it, 'As soon as the familiar melody of music sounds, it immediately evokes a nostalgic nostalgia for the 80s!'"
"The 80s, an age of innocence, a fiery age, a perfect period of all kinds of pop culture, an era of endless boutiques. At that time, you can feel the evocative film and television works everywhere, the very cool music melodies, and the ubiquitous dynamic and passionate Disco dance steps..."
"Masters are all gathered together, movies, literature, and music are full of flowers, and the stars are shining, but when they leave, they don't leave any behind, this is the law of literature and art, regardless of the East and the West. When it's mediocre, it's mediocre in all areas. ”
"Just like Zhou Jiestick today, everyone thinks it's very good, but it can't be compared with Luo Dayou, who single-handedly used music to wake up the entire Taiwan society at that time, or Cui Jian, who woke up millions of people with a voice. Because they are all entertainment stars today, they are unattainable with the large number of artists who made great contributions to the people as a whole, to society, to the times and to the country at that time! The same is true in the United States, you say that today's ladygaga and Taylor Swift, can you compare with those back then? Can you compare with U2? Can you compare with Michael Jackson?"
"In the eighties, there were several of the most important things in the world in the last century, such as the collapse of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the world's most powerful military empire, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the collapse of Eastern Europe, marking the whole world towards peace, you may not know, before the eighties, many people around the world were ready to use umbrellas every day to prevent atomic bombs, and today's younger generation does not understand that era, that era is called the Cold War between the East and the West, and there are tens of thousands of atomic bombs aimed at each other on both sides. At that time, the people of the East and the West were ready at any time, and there would be no more in such a big war!"
"At the end of the 80s, the Cold War finally ended, and the people of the whole world moved towards peace, and the masters awakened the spirits of the various countries that had been destroyed in the 60s and 70s, and regained their faith! But those masters did not expect that the regained faith and the re-established ideals would be lost in various countries in a short period of more than 20 years! The whole loss was so fast that I did not expect it, and it may also be because the light of the 80s was too dazzling, so when it was extinguished, it came very quickly! ”
"From the beauty of that time to the current decline, it only took more than 20 years! From 100 years ago, generation after generation of teenagers are all mindful of the world, crisscrossing the world, with the dream of transforming the country, to be the master of the world, 20 years ago was the same, and now the ideal of young people has become I want to become the master of a house, you ask a young man's ideal, he will tell you directly, I want to be famous, I want to make money, I want to buy a house, I go! Buying a house has become an ideal!"
"I often see young people discussing on Weibo, saying, 'Those who write poems must be people who have bought a house, and how to write poems where they don't live?' I said that you should read Du Fu's "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind": 'The August Autumn Wind Roars, Roll Up the Triple Thatched on My House', why do you have to buy a house first, he doesn't know how many young people ruined their homes for their ideals and the country 100 years ago, and now young people still firmly believe that if you don't buy a house, you have to sleep on the street, in fact, half of the people in the United States don't buy a house! ”
"In the 80s, the Oscars were selected every year for a great movie, but now after watching the Oscar-selected movies once, none of them will be bought and put on the bookshelf for collection, and we are the same, at that time there was "Yellow Earth", "Farewell My Concubine" now... It's an era when the masters are still alive, but they can't make living movies anymore.
"The 80s of the last century was the peak of the field of culture and art, and I envy those who grew up in the 80s, especially those in their 40s today, because when they were in their teens and early twenties and were forming their own worldview, the sea was full of lighthouses and lit up the sea!"
"So why people call this generation people idealistic people, not because they are born with ideals, but because they grew up under the light of a bunch of idealistic masters, the sea is lit up by lighthouses, and you know where you are going. Even when the lighthouses were extinguished and the sea was dark, they basically knew which direction to go where. Although there may be a lot of dust and mud on the road, and it will also be affected by business, the general direction will not be wrong, and they still have to go to that place. ”
"So you see the people who grew up in that era, whether they become business giants or other professions today, in their hearts, if you look carefully, they still have ideals in their hearts!"
