Han Feng, the main person in charge of CCTV's entertainment department, found Fan Wuxian through Chen, the deputy elder of the station, and exchanged questions with him about "The Same Song".

From 1993 to 1994, the changes in the pop music scene were obvious, and campus folk songs began to appear in waves, which brought a great impact on people's entertainment life.

At present, there are two relatively large forces in the domestic entertainment industry, one is the New Silk Road Entertainment Company founded by Fan Wuxi, and the other is the major audio-visual entertainment companies based in Guangzhou.

Guangdong, with its three special economic zones, Zhuhai, Shenzhen, and Shantou, is not only a bridgehead in the process of reform and opening up in the country, but also a frontier for transmitting advanced Western productive forces, ideas, and culture.

As the capital of Guangdong Province, Guangzhou, in addition to attracting a large number of industrial labor, also because of the open literary and artistic thinking and strong economic strength, attracted a large number of literary and artistic talents to develop here, thus making Guangdong's cultural industry unprecedentedly prosperous, and also making it difficult for a city in Beijing to digest the phenomenon of national cultural talents, because of the development of this new cultural root base, so that more talents can get the opportunity to give full play to their strengths, and to a certain extent, to ensure the diversification of the development of China's literary and artistic circles after the reform and opening up.

Due to the policy opening and economic security, Guangdong pop music has also developed rapidly due to the economic drive, and the unique advantages of being close to Hong Kong have made Guangdong pop music a good reference foundation from the beginning, so that it has reached a relatively mature industrial height on the basis of not taking too many detours.

Guangdong Audio-Visual Company, Pacific Audio-Visual Company, China Record Company Guangzhou Company, Guangzhou White Swan Audio-Visual and other companies have successively launched their own star-making plans, and soon launched singers such as Chen Ming, Gao Linsheng, Gan Ping, Mao Ning, Lin Yilun, Chen Shaohua, Huofeng and Li Jin, so that Cantonese pop music can be sung all over the country.

The way Cantonese pop music won at that time. It is because it borrows well from the signing mechanism and promotion methods of Hong Kong pop music, but in terms of music, it is the same as the Guangdong economy at that time, not only not limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music. It is even more regionally tolerant than Beijing pop music.

The combination of music and culture, and because of the latter's heavy heritage in Chinese mainland, soon made mainland pop music, which started very late, have a trend that surpasses Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music at that time. Of course, these local original songs spread pop. At the time, it also benefited from the popularity of karaoke.

Whether it is a professional karaoke hall or a private room in some small restaurants, in the high-end or civilian singing equipment, countless people are also in the identity of amateur singers and music lovers. Because of a strong sense of participation, pop music has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Han Feng has seen Fan Wuxian before, but he has no deep friendship, and this time it is also for work, and he deliberately wants to exchange views with this unknown but heavyweight original creator in the Chinese music scene.

After listening to Han Feng's compliments to himself, Fan Wuxian was a little embarrassed.

He knows his own affairs, and he sang a little more karaoke in his previous life, so many classic songs can be used at his fingertips. It's not a genius. The kind of person who has music cells and even the top of his feet.

"Brother Han praised, Fan is really ashamed, it's just a game." Fan Wuxian said with a haha.

Han Feng said in his heart that this person is not authentic, if you can occupy the commanding heights of the music scene with any games, then we are all eating and drinking? But he naturally couldn't say such things.

Because Lao Chen told him. It is said that Fan Wuxian is not just the boss of the New Silk Road Entertainment Company. And he is also the owner of a number of large enterprises, and his worth is extremely rich. The status of the business world is unmatched, not to mention that his father is now also a ministerial-level real power figure, this kind of figure is not something ordinary people can afford to provoke.

Han Feng really didn't plan to provoke Fan Wuxi, he wanted to discuss with Fan Wuxian about adding campus folk songs to the program of "The Same Song".

Although CCTV provides an audio-visual platform for the "Same Song" column, their role and status in the column are extremely limited

If they want to add their own relationship to the show, they must communicate with Fan Wuxian in this regard. Whether it succeeds or not, it still depends on the mood here.

"Campus folk songs—" Fan Wuxian listened to Han Feng's words, touched his chin, squinted his eyes and asked, "This seems to be a bit of a conflict with the company's entertainment direction, right?" It's not that easy to arrange. ”

The rise of campus folk songs also has several masterpieces in China, such as Lao Wolf's "You at the Same Table", as well as Li Chunbo's "A Letter to Home", etc., but the hottest song this year is Li Chunbo's "Xiaofang".

The popularity of the song "Xiaofang" really made Fan Wuxi a little emotional, pop music really keeps up with the background of the times and the needs of the public.

Last year, "Xiaofang" was popular all over the country. Because of its popularity, urban folk songs rose in the pop music scene, and then brought out the campus folk song craze. Li Chunbo, who arranged the lyrics and singing of "Xiaofang", was in the limelight in the Chinese pop music scene for a while.

Before 1992, Li Chunbo worked as a bass player in a small band, and his life was down, and the songs he composed were not cared for. As soon as Li Chunbo came to Guangdong, he found musician Zhu Derong to help him produce "Xiaofang". After the production, he looked for record companies everywhere to release it, and several record companies were reluctant to publish it because of his amateur singing.

The reason why Li Chunbo was given a cold reception was that Guan's song was too different from the mainstream pop music at that time, the lyrics were colloquial, the way of pronunciation was not standard, the singing was rougher than that of the singers from the conservatory, and it was normal for the distribution company at that time to have no confidence in "Xiaofang".

But a year later, "Xiao Fang" began to be sung in every corner of China. In terms of awards, "Xiao Fang" won the top four charts in Guangzhou, topped the charts in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and other cities for several weeks, and ranked first in the cassette sales charts of "People's Daily" and CCTV's "Oriental Time and Space".

Han Feng's meaning is to get Li Chunbo on the stage of "The Same Song".

Fan Wuxian doesn't have much opinion on this, after all, now Li Chunbo has a strong limelight for both songs, and he wants to make money by doing his own show, and this kind of popular singer can be attracted to participate, which is very good for the box office, but then Han Feng's words made him a little disagreeable.

"We feel that whether it is campus folk songs or metropolitan folk songs, these will be an important development direction in the music scene in the future, so we suggest that in the "Same Song" column, leave some space for folk songs to meet the needs of the audience." Han Feng said to Fan Wuxian.

"The popularity of folk songs is especially accidental, and the audience is also selective." Fan Wuxian frowned and said to Han Feng, "It can be imagined that the appearance of the song "Xiao Fang" is mainly to cater to the people who went to the mountains and the countryside back then, and now these people are the main force of purchase, but soon they will become history, and the new era will be a new music with revolutionary significance brought by new forms of entertainment media tools." ”

"For example?" Han Feng asked with a frown.

"For example, European-American style blues and jazz will prevail, and I am afraid that no one will carry the banner of folk songs." Fan Wuxian replied very directly.

Fan Wuxi's words are well-founded, for example, Li Chunbo, who has been popular for two years, began to fall silent after singing popular songs as an amateur singer. And some of the folk songs of other singers after that are mostly boring and empty humming songs, and some even need to rely on children's voices to accompany them in order to find gimmicks to attract the audience.

As for why Han Feng mentioned increasing the proportion of folk songs, Fan Wuxi was reluctant to guess the reason, but subjectively thought that he didn't see the situation clearly, right? As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a hundred days of redness, and there is no style of music that has occupied the pop music scene for a long time.

"Then what reason do you have to think that folk songs will decline?" Han Feng asked with some disbelief.

Fan Wuxian smiled and said, "Of course, there is a basis, Li Chunbo is not a professional singer-songwriter, these two songs of his have their accidentality, and the success of his style is also accidental." In order to make him popular, the driving force behind it has done a lot of advertising on TV, radio and newspapers, and has invested a lot of money. If this condition no longer exists, and he himself is unable to produce a masterpiece that can compete with his predecessors, it will be the time for him to fall silent

"So how long do you think he can still be in the pop music scene?" Han Feng asked.

Fan Wuxian tilted his head and thought about it for a while and said, "I think it's impossible for him to be popular with the third song, two songs are already his limit." Therefore, the decline of folk songs is in the middle of this year or next year. ”

"Then we'll wait and see-" Han Feng was a little unconvinced by Fan Wuxi's words, he always felt that he had to survive more than a year to see if his words could be fulfilled?

However, Fan Wuxian finally agreed to Han Feng's suggestion and added the part about folk songs to the next "Same Song" column. There are no pop-ups
