For Chen Shuya, Li Yange's senses are very good, and she is naturally willing to help her, but the rock band is really not suitable for her.

A southern girl who is tactful in her bones, it's okay to let her sing folk songs with a guitar, and really go on stage and throw off her arms to play rock, that picture is not only out of harmony, I'm afraid even Chen Shuya herself can't stand it.

So after thinking about it for a long time, he had an idea in his heart!

At the end of the 80s, it was not only the heyday of rock music, but also the era of pop music, which gave birth to countless pop songs that have been sung to this day, thus opening the era of Chinese pop music.

However, most of these pop music are solo singers, and there are few pop bands, but in 2004, a girl group was born, and an orchestra played Chinese music in the form of pop music!

Twelve members who are proficient in traditional musical instruments, using pipa, guzheng, erhu, flute, xiao...... One pop song after another was played.

Its performance form is different from the traditional folk music performance method, giving the audience infinite freshness, and it has gone abroad and successfully released albums in many overseas countries, carrying forward traditional Chinese musical instruments.

The name of this girl group is - Twelve Girls Band.

I believe that many people have more or less heard of the "Women's Twelve Orchestra", but they don't know much about them, this girl group was founded in 2001, as early as 2002 on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala performance, when it appeared on stage, immediately attracted national attention.

In the following years, they successfully landed in the island country market, and won the 2003 Island Country Outstanding Artist Award and Record Sales Award.

With the miracle of Chinese folk music created in the island country, the 12 women's orchestra swept Southeast Asia, triggering a popular frenzy of Chinese folk music everywhere it went.

At its peak, the 12th Girls Orchestra toured dozens of cities including Singapore, Malaysia, the United States, and Germany, and in 2005, it was ranked as one of the top 10 most authoritative pop music companies in the United States.

For this women's orchestra, Li Yange has paid attention to it in her previous life, after all, they all use traditional musical instruments, and there are a few members who play erhu, so I know a lot about them.

It can only be said that the positioning is accurate and the publicity is in place.

First of all, they debuted as a girl group, and secondly, they performed traditional instruments, and in 2000, when pop music was popular, an orchestra with traditional folk music on stage was able to attract the curiosity of young audiences to a large extent.

In the eyes of young people, folk music instruments are all tunes that blow some old sesame seeds and rotten grains, and use these instruments to play pop music, which makes people unimaginable at all, and with curiosity comes attention.

Coupled with the adaptation of the tune in place, with the essence of traditional musical instruments, it is difficult for the 12 women's orchestra not to be popular.

And now, in the late 80s, while Western pop music invaded on a large scale, it also brought countless Western musical instruments, such as cello, violin, piano, and various orchestral instruments, which became the first choice for young people and even children in the new era.

At present, the number of new students in the Department of Folk Music is not large, and the number of students in the Piano Department and the Orchestra Department together is much higher than that of the Department of Folk Music.

Counting up to three sessions, the students of the Folk Music Department at that time were the largest in the whole school, and the students of the Piano Department and the Orchestra Department were not as good as the students!

But thinking about it, the real popularity of the Women's Twelve Orchestra is still due to the operation of the economic company behind it, even if Li Yange makes a similar combination now, I am afraid that there is no way to make them popular all over the country quickly.

One of the most important points is that there is no stage for them to perform now.

Cabarets and nightclubs are the world of rock and pop, and it's impossible for major TV stations to find an obscure newcomer like them.

…………

A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

School rehearsal room.

Bertolucci walked in after Ning Ying.

"Hello Director Tang." It has been several months since he came to China, and Bertolucci has also learned a few words of Chinese, and when he saw a middle-aged man walking towards him, he greeted him with a smile under Ning Ying's reminder.

"Hello, hello!"

Director Tang didn't know English, and at first he was thinking about how to greet the other party, but when he saw a foreigner who said a broken word in Chinese, he also quickly responded.

Ning Ying stepped forward and introduced the three people behind him: "Director Tang, let me introduce you, this is Director Bertolucci of "The Last Emperor". ”

"It's director Bertolucci, hello." Director Tang politely reached out again and shook the director's hand.

"These two are David Byrne, a composer from Socrates, and Ryuichi Sakamoto from the island nation."

"It turned out to be Mr. Byrne and Mr. Sakamoto, welcome to Yangyin."

"Hello Mr. Tang." David Byrne, who was coming to China for the first time, was curious about everything, and after saying hello to Tang Jihong, he looked left and right at the rehearsal room of this music academy, which is said to be the best conservatory in China.

"Hello Mr. Tang, I'm Ryuichi Sakamoto, and I'm glad to visit your school." Compared with Socrates' David Byrne, Ryuichi Sakamoto seems much more sincere.

After Ning Ying's translation, Tang Jihong's good impression of him increased greatly, and he smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome Mr. Sakamoto." ”

Seeing that the group had finished greeting, Bertolucci also said, "Don, I want to listen to your tune now." ”

"Of course, there is no problem, but Professor Liu is now conducting the orchestra in Hong Kong, and there is no way to come back for the time being, so please forgive me."

For this film soundtrack, Tang Jihong invited Professor Liu Wenjin, one of the top folk music composers in China!

As a well-known composer of folk music in China, Professor Liu has many representative works, such as "Ballade of Northern Henan" and "Caprice of the Great Wall" and other famous erhu repertoire, and was the guest conductor of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra in 1985 last year, and was elected as the fourth director of the China Music Association in the same year.

Originally, Professor Liu was still conducting the orchestra in Hong Kong, but he graduated from CCTV and is an honorary professor of CCTV, and when he received a call from Tang Jihong, the director, he readily agreed to this task.

Ning Ying communicated with the three of them, then turned to Tang Jihong and said, "Director Tang, who is not in the way, I see that you are all ready, let the students perform." ”

"That's good."

Director Tang nodded, turned around and greeted the students who were already ready, signaling that they could start.

Under the leadership of the conductor, a group of junior students who had been rehearsing for many days looked at the baton attentively and prepared to play this unnamed piece for the time being.
