Beijing.

Central Conservatory of Music.

In the director's office, there were three people sitting around.

Director Tang introduced: "Yan Ge, let me introduce you, this is Ying Kangde, a reporter from the People's Daily. ”

"Hello reporter." Li Yange got up and shook hands with the other party.

Ying Kant stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Li Yange, I have admired my name for a long time, I can be regarded as seeing me today, and I was still thinking about what kind of young man he could win the Best Composition Award at the American Academy Award at a young age." ”

Ying Kangde, who is six years old Chinese New Year's Eve and a reporter for the People's Daily, came here mainly to interview Li Yange and ask him how he felt after being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Composition.

"The reporter has won the award."

Li Yange said modestly: "It's just that I'm just lucky, I was lucky to be nominated, and I haven't won the award yet, and I didn't expect the People's Daily to come and interview me." ”

"This is not a fluke, I asked my colleagues in the United States, there are many foreign films competing for the Oscars this time, and Li Yange can get this nomination, which is definitely deserved!"

As a reporter for the People's Daily, Ying Kande naturally has channels to understand the situation in the United States, so when he learned that his superiors asked him to interview Li Yange, he also made an overseas call to a colleague and asked the other party to collect the latest news of the Oscars, only to learn that Li Yange was nominated for the Best Composition Award, which is not a small award.

In addition to "The Last Emperor", the films nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Composition include John Williams, who made the soundtrack for the movie "Empire of the Sun", who has been making soundtracks for films since the 50s.

In the past 30 years, he has composed countless excellent film scores, won many Oscar awards for Best Composition, and became the second most nominated person in Oscar history a few decades later.

Ennio Morricone, who scored another film "Iron Mask", was born in Italy in 1928 and is recognized as a master of film scoring in Italy, known as a giant of European film music, and is known as the "leader of European film music" along with Nino Rota.

It can be said that from the achievements of these two nominees, it can reflect how high the gold content of Li Yange is that Li Yange won the Oscar nomination for Best Composition this time!

After the two exchanged pleasantries.

"Mr. Li, how did you feel when you learned that you were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Composition?" Ying Kant also entered the working state, picked up a pen and paper and began to ask questions.

Li Yange thought for a while and said, "I'm very happy, after all, it's the first time I've won a foreign award." ”

"Just happy? Aren't you excited? ”

Ying Kant was a little stunned by Li Yange's emotions, he had also interviewed some people who had won foreign awards before, and few were as calm as him.

"There must be excitement, but I have a relatively light temperament, and I may not express it very well." Li Yange squeezed out a smile, he had already known the result, and he had already passed the excitement, and now it was up to him to see if he could follow the historical process and successfully get nominated for this award.

As soon as he heard that it was a matter of character, Ying Kant nodded slightly, is this reasonable? Then he asked the next question: "Student Li, I communicated with Director Tang about you before, Director Tang said that not long after you entered college, you participated in the production of the soundtrack of the movie "The Last Emperor", and then you formed the now popular Baojia Street Band with your classmates in the same dormitory, I want to know how you have so much energy to do this?" ”

"In terms of the soundtrack, I didn't actually spend a lot of time......"

Between questions and answers, time flies.

Soon, after Kant finished asking the last question, he also said: "Student Li, I don't know if you personally have anything to say?" ”

"Can it be published?" Li Yange asked rhetorically.

"It depends on what you're talking about, such as the idea of being nominated this time, and the difference between domestic and foreign compositions."

Ying Kant smiled, the content of his interview now is enough to write an article, as for whether Li Yange's words can be published in the newspaper, it depends on whether he says it well or not.

"Hmmm......"

Li Yange said: "Actually, there is nothing to say, of course I am happy to be nominated for this award, as for the difference between domestic and foreign creations......

It was too hasty to come to Beijing, and when I arrived at the school, I met with the reporter, and Li Yange didn't have time to think about the interview.

Ying Kant quickly wrote down Li Yange's words, then got up and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't bother Classmate Li too much, if nothing else, this article will be published in the People's Daily in a few days, and then Classmate Li can go and buy a copy to take a look." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"Don't bother, if you want to say that the trouble is also our trouble, you still rushed over from Rongcheng."

Ying Kande knew from Director Tang that after Li Yange returned from the United States, he went back to Rongcheng directly, and when he learned about the newspaper interview, he hurriedly flew over from Rongcheng again.

Subsequently, Li Yange and Director Tang sent the reporter out of the school gate, and when they arrived at the door, Ying Kant saw the students who got out of class, and said curiously: "Student Li, do you have anything you want to say to the students in the school, this time won a foreign award, I think there must be many students who also have the idea of winning glory for the country and winning foreign awards." ”

Hearing this, Li Yange pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I personally think that if we want to go international, we need to create more national music that belongs to us, instead of learning Western musical instruments and creating music with Western music as the main body." ”

"In recent years, there have been more and more young people learning piano, violin and other Western musical instruments in China, but there are fewer and fewer people who want to learn our own traditional musical instruments. Take our school as an example, before I changed departments, I was in the Department of Folk Music, majoring in erhu, and there were only about 130 freshmen in our department, compared with the number of students in the piano department and some Western-style instruments, we were less than half of them. ”

"Therefore, if even we don't pay attention to our own traditional musical instruments and create national music, we won't talk about going international, after all, in my opinion, only the national is the world, because only by establishing our cultural self-confidence can we better go to the international community, rather than like more and more people who want to emigrate abroad."

Only the national is the world!

Ying Kangde, including Director Tang beside him, was slightly stunned, Li Yange, who couldn't say a word after holding back for a long time in the previous interview, could only ask me and answer, after the interview, actually said such something worth pondering.

"Good! What a good thing Mr. Li said! ”

Ying Kant took out a pen and paper with a red face, quickly wrote down this sentence, and said excitedly: "Classmate Li said it well, only the national is the world, although I don't understand music, but I can barely be regarded as a literati, this sentence is commendable no matter where it is used!" ”

"That's not what I said, it's just a summary." Li Yange waved his hand, he didn't know who said this.
