Chapter 884: Please Note It's Classical, Not Classic (Part II)

Ye Zi didn't care too much about Steven's words, and Gu Zi continued. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There are really a lot of 'classics' in the classical music world, the composer's works are classics, the performer's performance is a classic, and the conductor's conduct is of course a classic among the classics, and the word classic pervades almost all aspects of the classical music scene. While the composer was alive, works that had become classics abounded, as was the case with Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, Kodรกly and Britten. But...... Mr. Steven just reminded me that only time is the best test of whether a work can become a classic. โ€

"Hehe, a good time is the best test standard!"

Ye Zi stared at what Steven said and chased after it, making Steven uneasy to hear. But the good thing is that ...... Ye Zi did not dig deeper, but stopped here and turned to another aspect.

"But on the other hand, the time standard is very strict."

"For example, Louis/Armstrong, who died a little earlier than these composers. Armstrong, a famous jazz musician and singer, died in 1971), wrote those jazz works that are nothing in the eyes of the classical music world, and I guess even jazz itself should not be in the eyes of the classical music world, because jazz has only been developed for a hundred years, and time has not yet turned these works into classics. But in reality? From the 20s. These works by Louis/Armstrong were synonymous with classics in the hearts of the public and are still sung today. โ€

"Let's take another example, the songs written by Mr. Li Jingguang in Shencheng, China in the 30s and 40s, such as "Night Fragrance", "Shangri-La" and so on, have been circulated for half a century, and these are absolutely undoubted classics in the hearts of the public, but ...... Will the classical music community recognize Mr. Lai's works as classics as classical music works? โ€

"No way! Because for the classical music industry, whether it is classic or not, Mr. Steven really broke the truth just now! Not to mention the fact that in the eyes of the classical music world, pop music ...... What's that? Can it be compared to the noble and elegant classical music? โ€

The corners of Ye Zi's mouth showed a hint of obvious mockery.

"This is the world of classical music!"

Without pause, Ye Zi said in one breath.

"It's really strange in the classical music world today, in the eyes of the classical music world, classical music seems to be a small ark of its own independent of any other genre of music, ignoring the changes in the outside world, and bent on maintaining its own noble status. It seems that by doing so, classical music has really become a noble and elegant classic/music. But in fact, such an approach will only make classical music farther and farther away from the real general public, so what is the point of such so-called classics? โ€

"What's more, classical music, whether in a broad or narrow sense, can only be defined as serious music or traditional music that has been around for a long time, and cannot be equated with what the classical music world thinks of as classic/music. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not my definition, this is a definition made by the European and American academic circles, and it is properly printed on the explanation of terms in the dictionary. โ€

"As a category of music, classical music should only exist relative to light music, pop music and so on, in the final analysis, it is only a part of the category of music, what is noble? On what classics? Is it true that only classical music has classic works, and light music has no classic repertoire? Doesn't pop music produce classic content? โ€

"It's a joke!"

"I've seen arrogance, I've never seen such self-righteousness! So I really don't understand where the confidence of the classical music industry comes from, why just enshrine classical music as the norm and praise it as the supreme, and it is not enough to describe it as noble and classical? If that's the case, then please change the dictionary noun explanation first! โ€

In this call, Ye Zi said heartily, but the faces of the four people opposite became more and more ugly.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

As soon as Ye Zi stopped, Steven looked at a few of his companions, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Bruce, it seems that ...... You have a lot of preconceptions about the classical music world, actually...... In fact, the classical music world is not as bad as you think. โ€

Steven's heart was actually quite bitter, he himself didn't have much opinion on Ye Zi's behavior, and he was also deeply touched by what Ye Zi just said. But as a member of the Hong Kong classical music scene, there is no way for him to remain neutral at this time.

However, he still wants to make a final effort.

"Oh? Didn't you? Ye Zi smiled and asked, "Then what I have experienced now...... How does Mr. Steven explain that? โ€

"This ......," Steven was at a loss again. What happened to Ye Zi is indeed the best example, and the collective attack on Ye Zi in the Xiangjiang classical music industry is just around the corner, which no one can deny.

This time, Ye Zi will not continue to let go. He can save a little face for the classical music he loves, and no longer continue to dig into the embarrassing ugly things, but there is nothing to show for the classical music industry, especially the Xiangjiang classical music industry.

"I sang a pop song at a classical concert, which in itself is only a small thing, even if the temperament of the pop song does not match the atmosphere of the classical concert, but singing a pop song is not necessarily a big deal, right? It wouldn't be a crime, would it? But what is the reaction of the classical music industry, which Mr. Steven says is not so bad? โ€

"Let's take a look."

The mocking look on Ye Zi's face became even stronger.

"The teachers here today can be regarded as representing the mainstream opinion of the Xiangjiang classical music industry, and in the eyes of all teachers, my behavior is an absolutely unforgivable mistake, a shameful act that has tarnished the sacred noble and high-end classical music. Look at today, let's participate in this live broadcast specially arranged by Sister Liming, isn't the goal of the teachers to make me publicly admit my mistakes? โ€

"Teachers, do you have such a big grudge? It's just a pop song, what's wrong with Ye Zi! โ€

Ye Zi spread out his hands and looked around.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Just now, Ye Zi's venting about classical music and the classical music industry had already made Li Liang Fengxiu extremely dissatisfied, and now this remark was more like pouring a scoop of cold water on a hot oil pot, and the other party's camp suddenly exploded.

"It's not a matter of two songs in one song, it's a big thing to keep classical music pure and sacred, and we can never agree with you!" Li Liang Fengxiu was the first to say coldly.

"Xiao Yezi, you said that classical music excludes pop music, I admit it, these are two completely different music genres, there are only so many resources, isn't it normal for them to fight each other?" Huang Baiwen looked at Ye Zi with wide eyes.

Steven also raised the microphone again: "Bruce, something...... Ahem, don't you have the pop music industry you admire? It seems that the mess in the pop music industry is endless, right? โ€

"To do something wrong is to do something wrong, and a man should have the courage to stand up and admit his mistakes in public, instead of trying to get away with some unreliable reasons like you are now. Taking a step back, no matter how unbearable the classical music world is, it is not your turn to judge yourself, and when you become a grandmaster of classical music, you can teach us how to do things. Li Liang Fengxiu opened his mouth coldly again.

Li Renguang's reaction was the most intense, he jumped up from the sofa all of a sudden, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Ye Zi and shouted: "Apologize!" Apologize in public immediately! โ€

"You guys!" Yutai Wenhui stood up and glared at the four people opposite.

There was tension in the studio.

Lin Liming has been trying to maintain the delicate balance between the two sides after the show started, but at this time she remained silent, sitting there smiling and letting the two sides confront each other, without worrying about the show getting out of control.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Ye Zi grabbed Yutai Wenhui.

"Sister Hui, sit down first, or let me come." Ye Zi whispered in her ear: "This is a battle that belongs to me, don't worry." โ€

Yutai Wenhui looked at Ye Zi seriously, and then sat down slowly, but her eyes were still glaring at the four opposite.

"I'm definitely not going to do anything to apologize and admit my mistakes, so if you have any tricks, just use them."

Ye Zi also said coldly.
